COMPROMISE ON THE TARIFF. 1t is stated,
that the following is the substance of the COM
promise which will be offered by Mr.. Webster,
on the tariff bill under consideration in the Sc
nate; and which, ii is supposed, will be support
ed by Mr.. Calhoun.
Strike out the first FIVE sections of the bill
and insert
That from and after the first day of Deem
Der next, there shall be a reduction Of 25 per
cent Of the duties, whether specific or ad uuLo-
rem, now imposed by law Oh articles of import
ed merchandise, wherein duties exceeding 80
per cent. ad UaLOrem are now charged, except
ing brandy and other spirits, distilled from grain
or other materials, and vines Provided, neuer-
helesS, That duties on all articles now charged
with more than 80 per cent, shall not be re-
duced below 80 per cent
Strike out the It'll, Sth, and 9th sections.
1t is believed that this compromise, taccept,
ed, will afford protection to manufacturers, al
the same time that it will produce more reve-
nue. to government than McKay's bill, though
not as much as the tariff of lS42. 1t is very
doubtful whether the compromise will be &C.
copied by the House, even should it be passst
by the Senate.

MOVEMENTS OF THE HOME SQUADRoN-The
Blockade of Vera Cruz. We find in the Union
the following brief account of the operations OF
the Home Squadron:
Letters have been received at the Navy De-
partment from Commodore Conner, dated 30tll
June, and from other reliable sources Of recent
dates. The vessels concentrated off Vera Cruz,
at the latest date, were the frigates "Cumber-
landn and "Raritan;' the steamers princeton
and "Mississippi;" the sloop "John Adams
and the brig ''Somers.''
With the exception of the American barque
stEugena," no vessel has entered any Mexi-
can port since the establishment of the block
ade.
The duties on the property that has been
warned off, it is estimated, would not have fall
len far short Of half million of dollars--a sum
that would have been of great importance to
the Mexican government in its present impo-
verished condition.
Every indulgence and freedom from vexa-
ton and restraint that could be allowed, con-
sistently with the rules of blockade adopted,
have been observed towards all vessels of neu-
trail nations; and it is believed that the best I'M
Outstanding exists between the commanders OF
the French, English aud Spanish forces and
Commodore Conner
Commander Saunders, of the sloop St. Ma
RVS, had prevented the erection of battery
at the mouth ofTampicO river, within reach Of
his guns.
1t is believed that change must soon occur
in the political condition of Mexico. Nearly
all the southwest departments are believed to
be in state of instruction; and information
has been received from respectable source in
Mexico, that the northern provinces had also
declared against the government of Paredes.-
He is said TO have obtained permission from
his Congress to command the army in person
but had not left Mexico as late as the 2 list Of
June. A portion of his army, under General
Arevalo, had marched to Guadala jara, on its
route to Jalsco, to quell the Instruction in
that department. 1t is believed by many per
sons, that should General Paroles march from
the capital towards the north, his army will
''pronounOe" against him. The tone of the
public press is responding, and some of those
journals hitherto most violent for war, now
contain articles indicative Of disposition fol
peace.
1t is said much sickness prevails among the
soldiers of the garrison and the town.

The DEATH OF NAPOLEON. In Headley's life
of"Napeleon and his Marshals''--a book replele
with interest and sparkling with a thousand
gems of fine writing-we find the following un-
equalled description of the death of the Con-
queror of half of Europe and the master-spirlt
of the world:
"But at length that wonderful mind was to
be quenched in the night of the grave; and Ma
ture, as determined to assert the greatness of
her work to the last, trumpeted him out Of the
world with one of her fercest storms. Amid
the roar Of the blast, and the shock Of the bill
lows, as they broke where a wave had not
struck for twenty years-amid the darkness and
gloom, and upIoar Of one of the most tempest
uous nights that ever rocked that lovely isle
Napoleon's spirit was passing TO that unseen
world, where the sound of battle never comes,
and the tread Of armies is never heard. Yet
even in that solemn hour, his dehrious soul,
caught perhaps by the battle-lke roar of the
storm without, was once more in the midst of
the fight, struggling by the Pyramids, or Dam
ube, or, on the plains of Italy. twas the thun-
der of cannon that smote his ear; and amid the
wavering fight, and covering smoke, and tumult
of the scene his glazing eye caught the heads
of his mighty columns, as torn yet steady, they
bore his victorious eagles on, and '1ete G.4rmfe'
Head ofthe Army broke from his dying lips.
Awe struck and still, his few remaining friends
stood in tears about his couch; gazing stead
Easily on that awful, kIngly brow; but it gave
no farther token, and the naughty lips moved
no more. Napoleon lay silent and motoness
in his last sleep"

KISSING. Dow, Jr., closed a sermon on
kissing with the following quaint advice:
81 want you my young sinners to kiss and
get married; and then devote your life to mo-
rality and money making. Then let your
homes be well-provided with such comforts
and necessaries as piety, pickles, pots and ket-
ties, brushes, brooms, benevolence, bread, cha
riy, cheese, faith, flour, Affection cider, since
rity, vinegar, virtue, wine and wisdom. Have
these always on hand, and happiness will be
with you. Do not drink anything intoxcat-
ing-eat moderately-go about business after
breakiast-lounge little after dnner-chat al
ter tea, and kiss after quaIrelling; then all the
joy, the peace, and the bliss the earth can ai-
ford, shall be yours, until the grave close over
d, you, and your spirits are borne to brighter
and happier world.

GRAND DI0RAMfC RESERVATION OF BO-
NAPARTE's FUNERAL. The magnificent piece
of work spoken of in the annexed article from
the New York Sun, is also intended for the Bal
timore Museum.
awe see by French paper that Mr.. P T.
Barnum has engaged number of the first art
lists of Paris to construct for him a Doramc
representation of the Funeral Procession OF
Napoleon Bonaparte, as it took place at Paris
on the l5th of December, in l84I in which
every figure is to be seen in the same order and
regulOrity as it appeared on that occaslon.-
This magnificent piece of work is intended for
his Museum in this city, where it will unques-
tionably attract the attention of the entire mass
of French residents, if not our own native popu-
lation Napoleon has long since passed off the
stage Of active life, but he yet lives iii the mind
of the people, and every fresh remembrance OF
him will be cherished by the mass Of mankind
with many feelings Of kindness and gratitude.
Hundreds of thousands Of all nations and climes
did honor to his memory on this grand occa-
sion, and this lfe-like representation Of it, with
moving figures, the Royal Hearse, Cavalry, In
fantry, Artillery, all in regular order will give
those who were not so fortunate as to see the
original, a correct idea Of the spendor and
magnfcence of the scene. The work has been
completed, and is pronounced the most perfect
thing of its kind ever wrought by the hand Of
man. 1t was shipped at Havre in the early
part of June, and will probably arrive here dur
ing the present month";

LETTER FRoN SANTA ANNA TO GEN. VEGA.
The following letter, dated Havana, June 9Th,
was addressed by Santa Anna to Gen. Vega.
My Dear Friend: have learned, from the
public papers lately received from Louisiana,
with great sorrow, that you have been taken
prisoner, and brought to New Orleans as such;
with three other officers, in consequence of the
disastrous battle of the 9th ult., in the field of
La Palma, few miles distant from our city of
Matamoras.
Being out of our country, and forbidden to
return to its territory, it is truly painful to me
to be unable to offer in person, at this time, the
services which have always offered in her
greatest conflicts. 1t is equally painful to me
to be unable to take share in the dangers of
the mertorious army of the republic, with
whose blood have mingled my own, in the
defence Of the sacred rights of the nation; and |
have no choice left me, in which can crafty
my patriotic feelings, but to tender my re-
sources as far as they will extend, to my COM
panions in arms, who are in misfortunes like
yours. This is what now hasten to do, hop
ing that you, and the other three officers with
you, will draw on me for monthly amounts
equal to your respective pay, under the assur-
ance that your letters will be promptly honor
ed.
Present my friendly salutations TO your com
panions, and inform me if can in any other
way serve you.
Your most devoted friend,
ANTONIO LOPEZ DE SANTA ANNA.

BIZ cARBruL,--A young lady and gen.
tleman were one evening playing the
aGraces," !" and those acquainted with this
sport know that when the gentleman throws
the hoop or ring the head Of lady he
has right to a kiss. After playing some
time the gentleman threw the ring over
the head Of the lady, and he started for the
kiss. She ran and put out the light, went
out of the room into the kitchen and told
the colored servant girl to go into the par
lor and light the lamp, and to open the
door very quietly and make as little noise
as possible. The girl did as she was order
ed. The gentleman was on tip-toe at the
door for "good one;" as soon rs the sery-
ant girl entered the room, he caught her
and kissed her, and in moment heard the
lady clapping her hands and laughing most
heartily, becaure he had kissed the cook.
Gentlemen should be careful about kissing
the ladies in the dark.
