A WINTER AT SpITzBEReEN.-The In
terror of Spiizbergen has never been hab-
table. Last October party set out from
Archangel for this destination 1t was
composed of fifteen gentlemen, Of sound
constitutions, accustomed to cold, and ex-
cellent huntsmen. They established
themselves in the small island Of Barents,
part of the northern group, where no
man YET had resided and which was only
frequented by the more valuable OF the
animals of the country. In short time,
however six Of them, in spite Of their
precautions and hardy constitutions, died
from the intense cold. The remaining
nine lately arrived at Archangel with
much booty, but not till they had expert
enced the most intense suffering from va
rious causes, the absence of daylight be-
ing one of the principal.

Rebellion IN California.-The Wash
ington correspondent of the New York
"Journal of Commerce" writes that there
is letter in Washington received by the
Western mail, with the startling inielli-
gence that the Mormon regiment and Nor
mon settlers, in California, have risen and
rebelled against the American Govern
ment, as established there, taken posses
sion of the country, and established an
Independent government OF their own.-
There may be some foundation in the ru-
NOR. The Mormons, prior 10 the origin
Of. the Mexican war, had designed to
establish an empire in California, and Ia
ken some steps towards The enterprise.

LEGISLATURE OF S. CAROLINA,
Report of the Committee on Federal Re.

LEGISLAIURE OF -. CaROLlNAI
Report of the Committee on Federal Re-
lati0ns on so much Of the Governors
Message as relates 10 the Mexican war.
Also cerlain Resolutions on the same
subject.
The Commi,'ee on Federal Relations,
to whom was referred so much of the Gov
ernor's Message as relates TO The Mexican
war, and The resolution Offered on the same
subject by the Honorable Senator from
Union, have given this deeply interesting
and important question that considerations
which il so Justly merits, and would most
respectfully report
That in order to present the justice and
prepriety Of this war, on the part Of the
United States. in lis true light. it becomes
necessary 10 refer in The circumstances
which minced Mexico, in her folly and
arrogance, 10 commence hosliiIies.
1t is well known that great inducements
were offered American citizens 10 settle in
Texas. They received most liberal grants
Of lands, were permitied to form a free
representative government and become a
sovereign State in The republican confede.
sracy of Mexico. Under such form of
government they had secured to them all
the civil and political rights which they
had enjoyed in the land of their birth.
They we,e rapidly increasing in numbers,
growing in wealth, prosperous and happy.
But by one Of those sudden revolutions
which have 90 characterized the Mexican
people. the federal government was 'es-
troyed. aud a central despo'ism established
in its place. which deprived The Texans of
all political privileges, and annihilaled
their State government. This could moi
be borne by men who had been educated
as freemen, and who had in their veins
Anglo Saxon blood. They Immediately
declared their independence aud stood
Justified in the eyes of the world. Their
independence was acknowledged by the
principal powers Of Europe, and main
tained for eight years by their valor and
wisdom. They assumed as their western
boundary the Rio Grande. which had
been formerly the recognized limits of
gFexas. Mexico offered to recognise their
Independence, provided they would not
attach themselves TO tho United States.
