Courier des Etats Unis, Journal whose explicit
approval of the course pursued by the President is
entitled TO the more consideration because il is the
testimony of an unwilling and prejudiced witness;
one sees, says that paper, in its number Of Sat
nrdsy, the 18th August, "that Mr.. Polk has taken
hold OF the question in clear and precise terms. In
presence Of this overture, Paredes has other pos
sollty eft him but 70 answer either yes no; all
subteruges are now entirely out Of the question II
he accepts Mr. Polk must enter into formal negotls-
uons; II he repels the proposition Of the United
States, MIR. Polk will be doubly freed OF all respon-
sblty by the conduct Of the Senate and by the re-
jectlon OF his offers by Mexicos There remains,
therefore, but single hypothesis, that when Pa
redes would consent TO talk of treaty, but under
the condition Of an armistice. This case has been
foreseen in the letter Of Mr. Buchanan 10 Commo-
dole Conner, and the conduct Of the latter in that
case Is indicated with great sagacity IL is clear in
faet that IN Of armstice, the condition of the
tWoparties would by no means be equal; the Mexi-
cans on their proper territory, without extraordina.
ry cost, having time TO arm themselves and TO pre-
pare for their defence, might prolong negotiations,
the duration Of which would prove a great charge
and an immense inconvenience TO the United States
Then, on fine morning, when everything would be
prepared on the one side, and every resource ex-
hausted on the other-when the advantage would
be on the side of Mexico, and the disadvantage on
the side OF the United States, negotiations would
suddenly cease, and hostilltles recommence under
very different auspices. This 10 the position Of af-
fairs TO which an armstice would inevitably lead
Mr.. Folk, therefore, cannot grant it, and Paredes
cannot reasonably and in good faith exact H. such
condition would on his part, be equivalent to for
nal refusal 10 enter into negotiations"

From the New Orleans Bulsh
The following letter from a friend with the arm,
although some days behind its time in arriving, y
be found interesting:
MArAMoRAs, August 6, 1876
General Taylor left here two days since for G.
margo, by the river, to await the assembage Of %
army at that point, for the march to Monterey
is thought he will be able to begin the march 6y 10
lst to 10Th September. His field force will be 2 '8
and If the I'd infantry arrive in time, say 900 ,o
lar troops, with about I, 300 volunteers-as foloH
three Texas regiments; two Ohio; one Georgia; tu
Kentucky; one Tennessee; one Alabama; one Nj
sisslppi regiment, and the Baltimore battalion,
all say 10000 men. The two Indiana regimen
will probably be distributed between this city uI
the mouth Of the river, under the command Of Brt
adler General Lane. One of the Texas mounr.
regiments, under Col. Hays, marches by q va
circuit through San Fernando, Lenares, &c, TO b,
the main body at Camargo, or on the march to MO
terey. They will probably find work, as Msi
is said to be at Lenares with the wreck of AnEit
force
The artillery will be composed Of Duncan's, RID.
eys, and Bragg's batteries, Of two 6.pounders, IA.
one l2.pounder howlIzer each, and fourth batter
of two l2-pound guns, and two 24-pound howtz,n
under Capt Webster-in all sixteen pieces, with ID
horses to each gun. They will travel easily.
The Dragons will probably be increased TO ID
or $50 by recruits. They have been nursing The,
horses ever since the battles, and are in betlcr eo
dition than they then were. Two ofthe Texas rec
ments are mounted riaemen, and will make .,
whole force ofhorse, say, 400.
BY the close Of September this column will red
Monterey, where the chances Of battle are sqi'
ciently uncertain to make it a matter of daily do
and speculation. The very air is rife with rumu1

here is worth listening to.
If there should turn out to be no enemy at Ma,
terey or If Mexico shall be stubborn after the fall
that place, is 1t the design of the government to d
tnue the campaign upon this route' IL so, III
corps will suffer even more than that of Gen. WW}
The distance and absence of all resources in the
terror make it impossible In Mexico, "Pqt

442 majority.

at will be seen from the above table that the
counties named give majority for the constitution
Of 4i2. The counties not heard from are Dallas
Delaware, Buchanan, Fayette, and Blackhawk
Delaware, Buchanan, Fayette, and Blaekhawk gave
maorlty for the constitution last year. IL they do
the same this, their majority with probable ma
onty in Dallas, will swell the majority for the con-
sttutIon 10 500 at least. But making all due calcu
laton for these countless the result in them will not
be likely to effect much either way the majority OF
the counties given in the table; and deducting az
from the majority in the table for our estimate in it,
favor, and the constitution is then adopted by 40O
strong--a result which is truly glorious after the mot
ley struggle made to defeat il. IL may, therefore,
be put down certain that the constitution is
adopted; and for those who wish TO speak guard
edy, it will be perfectly safe to say, adopted by
from 300 to 500 majority"

CLAY AND HUME ON PRoTEcrroN.--Mr Clay
his last speech in the Senate, in IS42, Just before
resigned, said:
"ln England, as all who have read the able rep
OF Mr.. Hume, Scottish member in the House
Commons, must perceive, they seem to te giving
SPECIFIC duties; and the tendency on the public mil
seems to be, instead Of having variety Of specI
duties and variety of ad valorem duties, 10 ha
one permanent, fixed rate for all duties am vi
ing to adhere to this great principle in the comPT
mise act."
And what did Mr.. Hume, this Scottish mems
of the House Of Commons, saw in ls4R Az
showing that the people of Great Britain from Ia
to lS4l, had paid fifteen millions of pounds ~
said:
III this was not plunder Of the people by law !
the benefit Of one class only he should like to Er''
what was plunder He would say put an end 10 pr
lection by degrees, if they would but do it, and Z
out OF bad system into good one. Looking
all our experience in the reduction of duties m
1915 to the present time, (l84l,) he deied any p'
son to find an instance Of relaxation of proteciOn1

The EARrHQuAKE.-This morning, few minutes
(say three minutes) before o'clock, an earthquake
of very considerable violence experienced in
this city and vicinity. We have heard from Cam
bridge, Newton, Lynn, Nahant, Salem, Beverly,
Westboro', and Worcester, and in these places the
houses were shaken, windows and doors ratified,
bells were rung, and the slumbering we're walked up.
The vibrations do not appear to have been preceded
or attended by that rumbIing sound which usually
accompanies earthquakes. The sound, as it ap-
peared to US, was more like that produced by the
sudden and violent motions Of person in an al
joining room, or in the chamber overhead. Some
say there we're two three successive shocks, but
to us it rather appeared like continued jar or
shock of considerable violence. The magnetic in-
tensity at the Observatory at Cambridge, was great
ly disturbed by the shock. The vibrations appear
ed to be in direction north and south, and to have
continued for second or two. We shall look
with interest for news from South America, which
will probably bring us the intelligence of severe
earthquake in that section Of the world the effects
Of which we have slightly felt--Boston TravsHsr,
