IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS

The Message of the President,-in answer to a
resolution of the Senate, June 3d. calling for in
formation relative TO the mode of raising funds for
the carrying on the war with Mexico, was receiv
ed IN the Senate on Tuesday. accompanied with
tho reports of the Secretaries of the Treasury

OF other interesting matter, prevents our giving
them until Saturday. The President again re-
commends the reduction of the tariff to the reve
nue. standard. He proposes, also, to impose ,sar
duties upon certain articles on the free list, Sc.
&c, to expire after the war, and also, if necessa-
ry, to authorize the issuing of treasury notes, or
making loan.

GEN. PAREDES

The accounts from Vera Cruz by the Mississip.
pl at Pensacola, and the schooner Merchant from
Havana,-with Vera Cruz dates to the LIST inst.
three days later than those received by the Mis-.
sissippi, disagree very materially. The former
brings rumor that Paroles was collecting what
troops he could press around him, to sustain him
self in the revolution. No hope was expressed of
sending more troops to Matamoraa, in fact no
troops could be collected for that purpose.
1t Will be perceived 10 the correspondence of the
Havana paper which we publish this morning
that i" Paroles will march over to Matamoras
from Mexico, at the head of a strong army, the
largest proportion composed from the body called
the Reserve" We are inclined to think tina,
that great movement will not be reserued for Pa
redes.
Our impression is, that the iyrant Paroles and
his associates, are at this moment, removed from
all power in the Mexican Republic

FRANCE AND MEXICO.

The Courier des Etats Unis, in commentino
upon the statement in one of the London papers
that Mexico had sought the nterposi,ion of Enc
land and France to protect her against the Uni
ted States, decides very peremptorily that France
will not accede to any such request and that the
utmost she ever will do, will be to appeal as q
friend of the United States, to their moderation
and magnanmity in behalf Of weaker neighbor.
but that in hostile guise she will certainly not
appear. The Courier des Flats thus proceeds -
" Not only has France no major interest in pre-
venting the entire or partial conquest of Mexico
by the United States, but she might possibly both

she covets those same provinces which are now
about to fall into the hands of the United States.
Well, 1t is better for France that California
should belong TO America than TO England it is
better the influence of the cabinet at WASHINGTON
than that of St. James should prevail in Mexico :;
for the first is as naturally the political and mari
time friend OF France, the second ia her enemy.
We have everything TO fear from the onnipo
tence OF England, and nothing from the mower of
the United States. On the contrary. The deveI
opment of the latter power is in itself an advan
tage for u.s. nasmuch as it is peril for our eternal
adversary. In the hands Of the Americans. the
great clyllize,s of the New World, the wealth of
Mexico would be augmented ien-fold That
country would offer to Europe markets ten-fold

CONGRESSIONAL.

In The Senate on Tuesday, message was re-
ceived from the President in reply to the resolu-
tons of Mr. Lewis, Chairman of the Finance
Committee, calling for estimates of the present
and probable expenses of the government. Mr..
walker estimates the expenses of the ensuing
quarter of next fiscal year at $50 ZOO, 900, and
suggests further alterations in his proposed tariff
bill SO as TO raise between Sd and 5000 900 more

BREvET RANK IN THE ARMY.

Enquiries are daily made concerning brevet
rank in the army To meet these enquiries, we
have looked upon the law on the subject The
first statutory provision was made on the 18th of
July, 1912, and is in these words "That the
President is hereby authorized to confer brevet
rank such officers Of the army as shall distin-
guish themselves by gallant actions or meritorious
conduct, or who shall have served ten years in
any one grade: Provided that nothing herein
contained shall be CONSTRUED as to entitle off
GERS 80 breveted to any additional pay or ernoIu-
mens, except when commanding separate posts,
Districts deta tchments, when they shall be en-
titled TO, and receive the same pay and emolu-
meos TO which officers Of the same grades are
now. or hereafter may be, allowed by law''
This statute was modified by the law of April
10th, 1918, which provides " that the officers of
the army, who have brevet commissions shall be
entitled to, and receive the pay and emolumen,s
of, their brevet rank when on duty, and having
command according to their brevet rank, and at
no other times. That no bTevet commission sha II
hereafter be conferred by and with the advice and
consent of the Senate
These are the only legal provisions TO he found
in our statute book, except the following in the
rules and articles Of war.
"ARTIcLE 81. Officers having brevets or
commissions of prior date to those of the Iegi-
ment in which they serve, may take place in
posed Of different corps according to the ranks
given them in their breveis or dates of their for
mer commissions but in the regiment. troop, or
company, TO which such officers belong, they
shall do duty and take rank both in courts mar
tiaI and on attachments, which shall be composed
Of their own corps, according TO the commissions
BY which they shall be mustered in the said
corps"
BY the 9th section Of the act of June 30, 1884,
- fa IoI tk,afc - e al. 4
1912, OF Of any other act, authorizes the Presi-
dent to confer brevet rank on such officers of the
army or marine corps, as shall have served ten
years in any one grade, was repealed and so
much Of the act os April 10th, 1918, as may be
applicable TO the clause above repealed, shall be,
and is hereby repealed, but nothing herein shall
affect any right already acquired by ten years
expired service to brevet rank
These are all tho salutary provisions that VIC
have been able 70 find on this subject Hence
we give these extracts az containing all the laws
IN force relating to brevet rank in the army.

Mr.. Editor: 1t often occurs that events crowd
30 rapidly upon each other, as scarcely to afford
the mind time TO contemplate, the great and com
handing importance of any one separately. The
present is most emphatcally such time. In
my last gave you the rumor then rife in this
city in regard to the proposed settlement of the
Oregon difficulties. Now that rumor has become
defnitive certainty. To-day, I understand, the
opponents Of compromise in the Senate, lowered
their flag and gave up the contest, and now that
the question is settled, upon terms acceptable to
an overwhelming majority ofthe.Amerioan people.
