character, merely because we hear of no
clustering on The, Oregon question:, BUT
the government still continues lis reserve,
and there is Dnl the least indication that
it will offer US an adjustment upon any
acceptable basis. But il is very certain
that we shall have an overture from Great
Britain, aud in The farm of an uliimatun

Orders were sen, by express to Col,
kearney 10 proceed forthwith, at the head
of his fnrce, to Sanla Fe. lie will have
TWO thousand drasoous and mounted nj.
Aemen-Ihe latter being Missouri .yoIun-
leers. We shall soon hear that Santa Fe
is taken.
1t is now rumnred that the government
will determine to order an attack upon the
Castle Of San Juan de UIloa. 1t is very
strong place, aud is now we'll armed and
manned.
|, is now perfectly we'll understood that,
il The Tariff he taken up, Congress must
remain in session till September next; and
that the war with Mexico cannot be Wig
orously aud successfully carried on, with
our providing ample means.
The whole actual amount off the surplus
in the Treasury was buI seven millions.
In The House, the bill TO provide for the
prosecution Of The war against Mexico,
was taken up. This bill has already passed
the Senate. Ii provides, amous other
things, for The appointment, oftwo Major
Generals, aud OF four Brisadier Generals,
in addition to the present military esiab-,.
Iishment. -,
II was objected TO by some that the ap-
pointment of so many General officers was
unnecessary that the war with Mexico
would be at all end in three months, in
case ola change in that government, which
was probable; AMI that the officers ought
to he taken from the line of The army,
instead of being taken, as they probably
would he, from civil life.
On the other hand, it was couteuded
that the war could not be brought to a
close without an invasion of the territory
Of Mexico. at every point. To Gkeep'an
army on The irourier in state ofinac,ivity
would be useless and expensive. I,
MIR. Webster desired to call The attention
Of those having charge Of the finances OF
The Government, to The embarrassed state
Of money'ary affairs iu the large cities.-
He alluded 10 the great pressure existing
at New Oreaus, and its effect upon the
Northern cities.
Mr.. Webster desired to fix the attention
of Congress OIL this important subject, ii
order that means might be devised to
trausler iauds without producing so much
Inconvenience 10 the community. ai
Mr.. lewis replied that he was not To-
formed.
vi. Calhoun observed that the evils al
Iuled toby Mr.. Webster, were certainly
very great, but he was afraid they could
not he remedied. As long as lfe exchan-
ges were in favor; of New York, there
would be no difficulty, but whenever the
expenditures ar New Oheans swersa assp
Iarseas 10 tlrnitIien, noiliings but gtad;or
siver would pass. He was inclined to
think that nci'het a National Bank, nor
any other con,rivance could overcome, the
difficulty. The. wises, Thing that Con-
gress could do, would be;Io authorize an
issue of Treasury uores.
Mrs Miles.was in favor Of the. aPplica-
ton Of the sub-lreasufy as "a remedy for
the evil.
