WAsHIwGTos, Nov. IO, lS46
 This afternoon, expesiments were made m the office of the Secretary of War with a quantity of prepared eettoH, brought by Mr. Robertson, our present Consul 10 Bremen, for the express purpose of securing patent for the inventors, Messrs. Scsrnbein & Bott- ger
 The whole Cabinet--she President, Gen. Scott, Col, Totten, and Q variety of tlistia- guishcd gentlemen were present, and the ex- Periments succeeded beyond the most san guine expectation. s.--.z-
 fhc prepared cotsoa ignisss more readily than powder, and its combustion is more per- feet. 4 bail was fired with il from a com. mon musket from the window of the War Department against the wall of the Navy De pertinent, with immense force; an excavation of nearly ihe depth ,of an inch being produced in the wall, and the bali being completely Hattcnesl.
 The day after tomorrow, the expansive faculty of the prepared cotton will be tried al the arsenal with the muske, pendulum. It will undoubtedly succeed, as similar experi- menls have succ' eded with it in Germany, Switzerland, and England.
 Prepared cotton IS nothing else than gum powder in purer state and a more accepta- hle form. IL contains precisely the same ia- gredients-carbon, sulphur and nitre; and is manufactured with great ease, and may be preserved even for months in water. All that is necessary is to dry it before using it. When the preparation IS once made, twenty four hours would suffice to prepare suii. ciens quantity of cotton. just taken from the earding machine to carry on our whole war with Mexico. e
 And yet the preparation is SO simple, so clearly a scientific reduction of the known property of each ingredient part, Una, Il is only wonder that the same discovery has not been made years and years sgo. The inventors being about to take out a patent, il would not be proper 10 say more on the subject now, few days fwhen the patent will be sceured) all will be published, and then the process will be found so simp,s the; every man may hencefor,h make his own gunpowder as he makes his own bread, or boils his own potatoes.

ADVANCE ON SALTILLO.

CHfHUlHU.7 IN OUR POSSESSION. TROOPS DISPATCHED TO TAMPIcO. The steamship .McKim, Capt PECK, ar- rived here late last evening, from Brazos,
 which she lef, on the 23d inst, bringing Ma jors McLANE and GRAHAM. bearers of des- patches from Gen. TAYLOR, and Capt. G. T. M. DAVIS, bearer of despatches from Gen. Wool, on their way to Washington.
 We learn that Maj. GRAHAM had, previ- ously to his departure from Monterey, on
 his present mission. been dispatched by Gen. TAYLOR to Saltillo, with a communication to SANTA AsNA, informing the latter that the armstice had determined, and that, conse- quenily, each party had full liberty to re- commence hostilitles. Major G. found no troops in SauiIlo, and was informed that no
 opposition would be made to the occupation
 of that city by the American arms. Gen. WORTH had been instructed to advance, at the head eff the 2d Division, to take possess sion, and il was Gen. TAYLoR's intention to accompany him, for the purpose of taking a glance al the place, and return 10 Monterey. All the troops were in excellent health, and i in high spirits al the prospect of the reopen
 ing of the campaign. Maj. GRAHAM len
 Monterey on the 18th inst.
 CHiHuAHUA.--Col. DoNIPHAs, al the head
 of the Missouri Regiment, 700 strong, had
 been dispatched by Gen. KEARNEY to Chi huahua, which he has occupied, the inhabi-
 iants offering no resistance.
 MoScLovA.--This place is also in the hands of our army. Gen. WooL's division having met with the same fortune as Col. DoNlPHAN's. They marched into Monclova ! on lhe 30th of October. General LOPEZ, Governor of Moncloya, and depusation ol citizens, met our troops in their advance several miles from that town, cordially well coming their arrival, and proffering periec, friendship, stating that the inhabitants had been shamefuliy neglected by their own Go- vernmen.. One of the best hoi.ses in Mon cioya, was offered to Gen. Wool as resi- dencs, and accepted by him, where he sstab- lished his headquarters. The AmeHsan forces here number about 2600 men, who seemed to he highly pleased with their new situation, being all in excellen. healih.- Capt.
