The utmost activity prevails in. the Quarter
masters and other departments in this city, ex-
peditng troops, provisions, stores, etc.. to the
coast of Mexico--a feet of transports and
store ships is now preparing, and is to be ready
by Goth inst,-the ships are. generally of large
size and among the finest in port-they are
each to take on board four months water and
provisions for 400 men-they are chartered by
the Government for three months and their
destination is, kept perfectly secret, nor will
their orders be opened until after they get to
sea.
1t would appear to be a special expedition,
that will assemble at some common rendt z
vous, and the whole force employed will be
about 10000 men, of which the large portion
will go from this port-one regiment we under
stand will embark at Mobile, and we presume
the regiments from the Atlantic States will
come round by sea, to join the main body on
the Mexican coast.
We do not pretend to have any correct idea
where the storm is to burst, but we hope on
the city and castle of Vera Cruz, and as Gen.
Scott has returned to the coast after visiting
Monterey and seeing Gen. Taylor, we presume
the expedition, whatever may be the object,
will b. under his immediate command -.Ne'c

| Col Kinney arrived at Tampico on the l2th
inst, direct from Victoria. He entered TINT
town with Gen. Quitnian on the eyenng ofSthe
9th inst, and not on the 7th, as we said in an
extra SEN off yesterday. Gen. Quitman drove
the enemy before him for the last forty or fifty
miles before getting to Victoria. The Mexicans
were reluctant to give up the place. AS Gen.
Quitman entered the town, the Mexicans were
going out on the other side. Gen. q. had no
cavalry and could not pursue them. Col. X.
speaks in the warn.est terms Of the prompt and
soldierly conductof this officer. w.
/ Col. Kinney parted from Gen. Taylor az
.Monte Morelles,, i, aud pushed Ion. with
Cen Quitman to Victoria. From thence he
made his way, almost alone to Tampico, Ia
king Soto Ia Marina in his route, accomplish
ing nearly distance Of $50 miles in three days
and narrowly escaping from the advanced par
ties Of the Mexicans on several occasions.
We have no reason to suppose that Gems.
Butler and Worth have moved from Saltillo, as
was reported in town yesterday morning. We
believe then, together with Gen. Wool, to
have been still there or in the vicinity as late
as the LIST inst. with at least 600 troops,and we
further believe that a division of the Mexican
Army was not far off, watching our movements
and ready to take advantage of any favorable
opportunity which circumstances may afford.
1t may be that the Mexican soldiers seen in
the neigh borhood of satillo, are the advanced
parties of a force Of some 1000 or 1000 men,
u
kept in position on this side of the desert, be-
tween Saltillo and San Luis, to destroy the wa.
ter tanks IN case the American army should
move in the direction of the latter city
There is little doubt, as we learn from pri-i
waite letters, that there was large Mexican
force--pro baby mostly cavalry--at lula at lasr
dates, all under command of Gen. Valencia.
Generals Urea, Romero, Fernandez, and 9TH
ers, are also reported to be in the vicinity. II
may be recollected that ourIast accounts from
.he city8of Mexico, represented Valencia as on
his march to lula.
L From a correspondent at Tampco, we learn
that on the first January, Gen. Taylor sent for
ward Col. May of the Dragons, to examine the
mountain pass between Monte Morales, and
Labradores. On his return from Labralorez
he took another pass leading to Linares, and
was attacked by large body of the enemy and
his rear guard cut off This was effected BY
rslling z.Saes into tie pass which WIS scarcely
wide enough for single horseman. May man
aged to get through with the main body and
reached spot where he was enabled to dis
mount and return ito the succor of the rear
guard, but it was too late, as the enemy had
retreated with the p,ize. We cannot ascertain
Col Mays loss, or whether he had any men
killed or not.

$4,000 and 10000 bales, the principal part q
it ON speculation. Prices are firmly support

The Liverpool Standard, ofethe 18th, in an
article entitled the ssCotton Crisis, says;
| The state of our Cotton Market during the
past week has shown most conyincingly the
fact noticed by, us last week, that the spinners
and manufacturers are completely in tliepower
ofathe capitalists, by. whom the bulk of the
! cotton at present in the kingdom is held. The
sales of this important raw material for the
week, UP to Friday, were close upon $4,000
bales, or nearly five times the weeks consump-
| tion. A large portion of this has Of course

were continued to late hour, and the steamer

was crowded with anxious expectants for the

It has been remark ed that no speculation on
short crop has taken place in the States; on
the CONTRARY, the accounts show great dulness
prevailing in the New York market, in the
face of diminished arrivals in the shipping
ports A 4 the recklessness here is on the
strength Of a light stock in the port and the
knowledge on the part of Blu ers that such
stock is daily getting into fewer hands.

Quarrel Of Mr.. Wise and Commodore Rosseau
wih the Brazilian Government
The Reindeer arrived this, Saturday after
noon, from Rio, and brings late advices of a
very important character
Her dates are to the 24th of November.
The California Regiment had arrived there
on their voyage round to Oregon.
Capt. Turner OF the Regiment had returned
in the Reindeer, bringing Dispatches from Mr..
Wise, our Minister, to this Government.
A very serious difficulty had arisen between
the Brazilian Government and MrAWise in re
lation to some American Sailors who had been
imprisoned at Rio and whose release was de-
manded by Mr.. Wise.
The Brazilian Government refused, and has
requested the United States to recall Mr. Wise,
Commodore Rosseau, of the American Squad
ron on that station.
In consequence of these proceedings, the
Upper House of the Brazilian Parliament had
voted the expulsion of Rosseau from the coun-
try, giving HIM only six hours notice to leave.
This Bill was defeated in the Lower House,
wherenpon many members of the Upper House
resigned their seats, in the midst of great ex-
element.
In consequence of this difficulty Mr.. Wise
had refused all intercourse with the Brazilian
Government, on the occasion Of the Baptism of
the Infant, Princess Isabella.
He also refused to illuminate on that festival
in common with Diplomatic Agents OF Foreign
Governments, and Commodore Rosseau had re-
fused to fire any salute.
The presence Of the California Regiment
was great support to Mr.. Wise, and strength
ened him in the firm stand he took against the
Brazilian Government.
Mr.. Wise's situation is very critical, and
may cause rupture between the two Govern
ments.

LATEST FROM THE LIST MISSISSIPPI REGIMENT
We have letters from our correspondent dated
at Victoria, the Cd and 9TH of January, re-
eeived last night, but too late for insertion.
Gen. QuiIman entered Victoria on the goth
of December, and the city was surrendered
to him by the public authorities. His head
quarters are in the Governors House. Five
companies of volunteers with Lieut. Thomas
battery garrisoned the city-three companies
from the Geo,gia regiment and two from the
Mississippi regiments, the RAYMOND Fensibles
and So1throns. The Southrons are quartered
in the State House of Tamaulipas with the U.
S. Flag floating over them. Gen. Patterson
with 1000 men and Gen. Taylor with about
800 arrived at Victoria on the 9TH inst. Col
Davis and Capt. Willis arrived about the same
time. The whole army except those garrison
ing the city are encamped near the city. The
army will probably await the orders of Gen.
Scott before moving from Victoria. Letters

BsTEMIous DrET.--Many cases of illness,
both in adults and children, may be readily
cured by abstinence from all food. Headaches
disordered stomachs, and many other attacks,
are caused often by violating the rules of health
and IN consequence, some part Of the system
is overloaded, or some Of the organs clogged.
Omitting one, two or three meals, as the case
may be, gives the system chance to rest, and
allows the clogged organs to dispose of their
burdens. The practice of giving drugs to
t'ciear ont The stomachn always weakens-the
system, while abstinence secures the good re-
suit, without doing any injury.
Said a young gentleman to distinguished
| medical practitioner IN Philadelph s.Doctor,
what do you do for yourself when you have
turn of headache or other slight attacks?"
''Go without my dinner" was the reply.
"And if that does not cure you, what then -
$50 without my breakfast We physicians
seldom take medicines ourselves: or use them
in our families, for we know that starving ia
better, but we cannot make our patients be-
lieve it.r
Many cases of slight indisposition are cured
by change Of diet. Thus, if person suffers
from constipation. has headache, slight attacks
of fever, or dyspepsia, the cause may often be
removed by eating rye mush and molasses,
baked apples and other fruits.--Donsestic Re
