FROM THE SEAT OF WAR.

RUM lF1E SEAT OF w Ak.
We are indebted to Capt. Thorntons
U. S dragons, who arrived here yester,
day, for some interesting particulars
from the Seat of War.
Captain Thornton informs us that it
is NOW very sickly at Matamoras, which
pace he left somewhere about the 24th
of the last month At the time Of his
leaving there were 700 Americans,
about three-fourths volunteers, sick of
Dysentery, accompanied with intestinal
liberation and typhoid fever The ave-
rage number of deaths was five u day
1t is to be expected, however, that the
accession of cold weather will much
abate the violence of the disease.
Captain Thornton informs us that an
order had been issued by General Tay-
lor to General Patterson at Camargo to
send the Alabama and Georgia regi
ments of volunteers to Monterey. They
were to be commanded by Gen. Pillow.
The following is the location of the
American forces at the different points
on the River Grande.
One Regiment of Volunteers ut the
mouth of the Rio Grande.
Two Regiments at a Mexican fort on
the River, ten miles from its mouth.
One Regiment Of Ohio Volunteers,
under the command Of Col. Curtis, and
four companies Of Artillery (regulars) at
Matamoras The volunteers are en-.
camped on the north edge of the town
two companies Of Artillery, under Capt.
Lowe, are stationed in Fort Brown;
one company in Fort Pareds; and one
in the Plaza.
The whole of the troops at Camargo
are under the command Of Col Clarke,

Anti RENTIsM.-On referring to the report of the
proceedings of the Legislature at Albany, in yester
days paper, our readers will observe that an impor
tant committee is now in sitting at Albany, taking
evidence and hearing counsel upon the great ques-
ton Of the Rensselaer, property 10 Of courts
tits contended, the part of the tenants that the
PATRON has had posses sion of the vast tracts
which he claims, aud that the grant from Queen
Anne. on which his title is based, never received
the signature of the Queen. 1t is not denied that
he holds leases which the tenants have signed, but it
is argued that being granted fraudulent reprcsen
tatons, and obtained by coercion and threats from
many tenants ignorant of the true state of the case,
they, therefore, are void at law.
II is certainly true that no signature to lease
any other paper from any man, can confer upon any
other, right which he never had, and which he
who signs has no power to confer. This committee
may be viewed in the light of commission, or
great court Of judicaure, though its action
will be subject to the pleasure Of the Legislature
1t presents, however, opportunity Of hearing and
trying this great case, and we ardcntly hope that
justice may be done to all parties, and the fiat and
decision Of the law henceferth may take the place
of violence and lawless outbreak.
We have called the attention OF the public TO this
great committee, not only because the eve Of the
public ought to be upon its measures, but because
we hope that contributions Of knowledge and infor-
nation from all parties may be brought TO bear upon
this question: as now to effect final settlement,
and give 1t its qiIiefus for ever.

LITERAL COMMERCIAL PoLrcY.-The whole world
is indebted to some one, for the noble perseverance
with which he has long battled against the tariff
system Of England, and finally succeeded in achiev-

cramped by onerous, and artificial restrictions, and
lead to the adoption OF liberal commercial policy

Thus is the co tinent beginning to move in the

ultimately be abolished, no one can doubt and then

away with war and make men respect their COM

The Yicat cos. fnling all the promises of the
Mexican govrrnrn. nj TO b. false. and Incens~d by
tyranaica TX actions. have again thrown OFT the
yoke, AMI raised the banner Of the five stars"
thro ughout the peninsula They declare that they
are deermin d TO spill their last drop OF blood
in defence Of their liberty and independence, and
would rather die IN battle or on the scatold than
submit again 10 the Mexican Government"
IL IS evident that the experience Of the past will
prevent hem from being deceived into laying down
their arms again by The liberal professions which
such governments as Mexico always make when
they ere too impotent to strike an eflectual blow.
This revolution is one that Will probably result in
Independence or determination. The people OF
Yucatan are wearied Of Mexican oppression; they
envy the peaceful security which the Texans have
obtained under the protection Of the United States,
and they long to enjoy similar Blessings.
The last news received from Yucatan states that
they have resolved to send delegation to Wash
ingon to confer with government, and if pos ST.
bic, obtain protection and assistance. Whether
this will be Immediately granted or not, it Is diff
cult for us to determine. The sympathy OF our PEG.
pie ls, however, always warmly excited Tor those
who are battling Tor freedom and human rights !;
and there is no doubt that Anne ricans will take
leading part in the councils of Yucatan. That glo-
rlous country, the New England Of Mexico, will
then ultimately be annexed to the United States by
the peaceful and voluntary consent of its citizens.
Thus rapidly advances the destiny of our Repub-
lie Yucatan is about to seek its shelter-California
is fast filling up with Americans, and will soon
fall peacefully into our arms-all Mexico will soon
follow, and the American eagle, soaring to the sum.
nit OF his glory, will spread his mighty wings over
the whole continent But would it not be better to
merge at once the whole of Mexico into this happy
Union, than to add slice like Yucatan to day, and
another slice like California to morrow This is the
simplest way Of doing the business.
