WASHINGTON, Jan. II, 3 P NJ
The news from Mexico, via New Orleans, has Gre
ated little sensation at the of government
1t will be from the news by the Joaquina that
revolution headed by Paredes, is now in progress or
has already been consummated-that hostile move
probability is that the new unta will refuse to treat
with MIR. Slidcll, declare paper against hun,
and send him away. This intelligence from Mexico,
in connexlOn with that which is now daily expected
from England, will create additional excitement in
Congress- and give increased interest the debates
on the Oregon question
That Great Britain is secretly striving to prevent
amicable adjustment of difficulties with Next
co is the prevailing impression II may be readily
conceived that by inducing movement against Texas
and thus involving III a with Mexico, she
hopes to promote her views reference to Oregon
and California. That the revolution in Mexico has
been complete there appears to be doubt for " so
fully matured had been the plans Of Paredes, and the
dissatisfaction with the government so general and
unanimous, that there none to oppose revolt"
Having far succeeded in her schemes with Mexico,
it is presuming much suppose that the fur
ther plans Of Great Britain will be urged forward
with the energy demanded by her critical position

OREeoN AND Mr.. CALHouN.-On the subject of the
Oregon negotiations it is rumored that exertions are
being made by many gentlemen at Washington 10
produce satisfactory adjustment. correspondent
Of the Baltimore Sun says:
81 speak not without good authority, in saying that
Mr. Calhoun has, since his arrival Lere, been actively
engaged in effort TO promote the I'D ustment of the
question. He interposed between the British minis
ter and government and procured re-opening Of
communications between them. Several friendly con-
frences took place. and the result is that if the Uni
ted States take rash imprudent step. there WILL
in all probability, ensue speedy compromise Of the
question the basis of the 49h parallel, hereto
fore proposed by our government.
Mr.. Calhoun hasa succeeded says the same wri-
ter, in calming the minds of members of Congress-
and dissuading them from pushing measures prema-
turey for the termination of the joint occupancy, and
thereby producing unnecessary irritation. The wri
Ter continues
at Is the wish of Mr.. Calhoun and of his friends
as learn, that these measures should not be acted
upon until time be allowed for renewed proposition
for compromise from the British Government, which
will undoubtedly be received in less than two months
Whether the Impotence of Congress be curbed
cannot say but learn that of the western lead
erS have agreed to pause, for while. in the course
of measures which they had marked out.''

MENco.-We may soon expect important informa-
ton from Mexico. An organic law of that Republic
orbids the alienation of any portion of the national
domain On this point Herrera is assailed and will
be overwhelmed The question is, whether Paredes,
after coming into power the champion of the in
tegrity of the Mexican Republic, will proceed to ac-
knowledge the independence of Texas, yield por-
ton of the State Of Coahuila, and cede the whole of
upper California 1t is almost impossible that any
but a Mexican statesman would be guilty Of such In
consistency and treachery. Mr. Sdell is instructed
not TO daily nor temporise, but to bring his negoia
ton to a close, in way another, very speedily.
1t is not all improbable, therefore, that Mr.. Sldel
will soon return, and that government will take
strong measures for enforcing just demands upon
Mexico. war with Mexico is not at all improba-
ble and, indeed it will certainly take place, if Pa
redes should be supplied with money by the Mexican
clergy or the English capitalists in Mexico, which is
very likely to be the case.

GREAT CONNECTION IN NAUvoo.-Under this head
the Warsdo Sign1, of the 9th publishes what FOL-
lows:
Just as our paper was going to press we received
intelligence from Nauvoo, that the Lord had accept
ed the Temple, and that the g-promised endow-
men for which the saints have been long prepar-
ing, is now being received.
This endowment consists in abrogation of all
existing marriages, and every good saint is at liberty
to cast away his present wife, and take any other
who may suit him better The consequence is, all
NauvOo is in commoton, and the saints are running
about, perfectly wild with excitement
The reason why the Lord concluded to endow his
saints in this singular manner, because some hus-
bands were willing to go to Oregon, and their wives
objected, and rice rerSG So they being mSmatched,
the Lord concluded to prevent difficulties. by giving
all willing chance select partners for the
expedition.
The following is one of the incidents during the
changing of wives now going on One o. P. Rock
well, VITO had been living with woman who had
deserted her lawful spouse for him. went with her TO
the latters dwelling and kept guard the door, pis
toll IN hand, while she went and robbed the house Of
such articles she fanced most This act was per-
petrated in broad daylight, in the eyes of the whole
city, and yet was allowed to pass without comment.
Resolred, That South Carolina still adheres to her
principles the subject Of internal improvements,
and holds that the Federal Government has no right
make any appropriations in aid Of Railroads. pub
lie highways canals, cleaning out rivers or any other
improvements within the limits of any State or States
communicating from any portion of the Union
to another-unless plainly and absolutely necessary
to the defence of the Union.
Resolred, That in tie proceedings of the Memphis
Convention, regret much that is in violation
of the foregoing principles.
These resolutions have been introduced into the
South Carolina Legislature If they pass that body
the Legislature must o course be considered taking
ground against the doctrine of Mr.. Calhoun
The Charleston Mercury objects, though not with its
Characteristic violence and fire, to Mr.. Cs speech

The currency of the South and Southwest has, in the

Orleans mint. In Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi
and Alabama, banks have comparatively ceased to
exist, and S74,0 zoo of bank capital has been put
in liquidation and all the issues of those banks with
drawn from circulation, and yet there

The trade has increased 80 per cent under this
specie operation.
When the supply of currency like that of all other
articles is left entirely in the hands of the merchants,
governed by the laws of trade the supply viii always
equal the wants of trade, and more. Under the
bank operation, when commerce brings large amount
of specie the country, say 100000 that specie
goes into the bank, and money is plenty and very
cheap, because the bank officers round and induce
every to take tine premiums, until they get out
100000 of paper. Commerce then carries the
specie out of the country and at such moment deal
loans, but just at tina. moment the banks de-
mand payment of the $780, 900 they induced
to borrow, and they ruined 1t is to prevent this
that the Independent Treasury is looked for by the
merchants. They do not want the public trapped into
loans to pay which they must subsequently sacrifice
their property.
