The UNDERWRITERS AND THEIR PosIT1oN-MRx-
IcAN PRIvArKERs.-The marine insurance compa-
nies of Wall street shaking with fears at tho
prospect that the commerce Of our country will be
hunted down, instanter, by piratical privnteers,
which, under cover Of the Mexican flag, will
swarm upon the Atlantic tracks of our packet
ships, and hover around every port, while our
limited United States squadron are operating in
the Gulf of Mexico. These companies have not,
us it has been generally supposed, inserted what
is called the "war clause" in their policies, and
consequently they are liable for oil captures and
detentions, and losses consequent thereupon.
Having hundreds of millions at risk, it is not diff
cult to believe, that war Of few months dura-
ton would soon wipe these companies out of exis-
tence-and the claimants would scarcely receive
back the amount paid in for premiums. More
than six months since, it was known that Mexican
pnvatecring commissions were in the hands of
Mexican agcntsat Havana, Matanzus, Trinidad de
Cuba and at other points, ready for distribution to
slave traders, and others willing to embark in the
business The outlaws Of all nations are eagerly
watching for plumber, and Congress should give us
a law TO hang every American engaged, directly or
indirectly, in privateering under the Mexican flag.

The Acr1os OF CoscREss-THE TARIFF, SUB
TREASURY, &c.-War with Mexico is now posi-
tive and certain--a war which may last many
years. at an enormous cost. This event will exer-
cise most important influence upon all our TO
rcign, but especially on our domestic policy, for
long time 10 come. We alude specially to the
tariff and the sub-treasury, as well as to all those
other measures growing out Of the reduction Of
expenditures.
This war will call for an increased expenditure
In all directions, and for accumulated energy in
all quarters. We may, therefore, ut once settle
down content upon this question of war, and
leave the others exactly where they now stand.
The tariff cannot be touched for the purpose Of
reduction ii must rather be increased. The SUBJ
treasury win be heard of no more. An admins
trative reforms contemplated, in relation to the
army and navy, must now be laid upon the shelf,
for good and all. Another very important ques-
ton will also now be laid aside = and that
Is, any further negotiations or difficulties upon
the Oregon question, with Great Britain. Our
affairs with Mexico, as they are now situated,
viii absorb all attention, and determine all other
questions pending in Congress. They will fix our
government, both executive and legislative, en-
trcly upon one single isolated and great measure

all hazards, all the materials which shall. be me-
ccssary to accomplish this purpose. The greatest
sticklers for q reduction of the tariff have been
tho South but as this war with Mexico springs
ont of the annexation Of Texas-a Southern mea-
sure--they cannot offer any obstacles to a con-
nnusncc Of the present tarif-a continuance
which viii be necessary to provide funds for the
war.
This arrangement will satisfy both tho North as
well a. the South, and thus the war with Mexico
win be less detrimental to commercial interests, as
between this country and Europe, than has been
apprehended. Under this view Of events, not
withstanding the vscillating policy which has
brought US into this state Of things it is probable
that this war will be wagsd with good deal Of
popularity by the present administration.

Irish woman had, by some means set fire to her

subdued without doing any other Gamape: hit
