Iampico dates of the 18th, have been
received at New Dreams, with intelli.
gence ofthe loss ofthe ship Ondaco, about
80 miles south of Tampico, having on
board the End regiment of Pennsyivan ia
vol1nteers, under Col De Russy.
The troops got safely on shore, and
nave since arrived at Tampico, except
the captaia of the ship. 4 isnot known that

theloss.ofthe OndGcG, the stream Undine,

The Undine had net Feturned. But il
was ruInored that this company were cut
off by a body of8O0 ofthe enemy's cav.
airy, and another rumor is that-the Mex
leans attacked the volunteers after land
ing, and thatthis led to dispersal of our
forces, and.a forced march to Tampico.
These rumors are doubted, as they
came through a different channel. Two
ships were off Tampico with so troops on
board. A report had been received at
Tampico by acommercial house.of fierce
encounter at Chihuahua. between a su-
perior force OF MeAicans, and a portion
of Gen. Kearney's command under Col.

The Three MiIIisn Bill.
T, ILL

At last advices this important measure
was still before the Senate, and was the
subject ofwarm discussion. Mr.Calhoun
and some others, took decided ground a.
gainst the Wilmot Proviso. which was at.
tached to it by the House, some resolutions
have been offered by Mr.. Calhoun. which
declared that the enactment OF any law
which would deprive the citizens OF any of
the States of this Union from emigrating
with their property into any of the terri.
tories Of the United States, to be a viola
ton ofthe constitution. These resolutions
were introduced as a set-of'to the Wilmot
proviso.
If the territory in question actually be.
longe3 to the United States, it then might
be well enough to agitate this measure.
but as it is, we apprehend the most injuri-
Gus consequences from the effect it will
have on the present war. It is certainly
premature for Congress to regulate the
domestic institutions of territory, which,
in fact, is not in our possession. This
question, of slavery, has occupied great
portion of the time of Congress, and the
only ,hing effected is prejudice between
two portions ofthis Union. AEd now it
threatens the defeat of measures which
are calculatedto facilitate the termination
of the Mexican war.
While the President has been urging
that the most energetic measures be taken
for the vigorous prosecution Of the war,
he has at the same time manifested a
willingness TO enter into any negotiations
with Mexico, which would conclude
a permanent and honorable peace. He
has twice called upon Congress for an
appropriation TO enable him to accomplish
this object, 81 we hope it has not adiourned
without complying with his requests. If
the country desires peace IN honorable
terms, why not provide the Executive with
the necessary means 10 procure It? The
Senate, If it passed the bill, passed i.
without the proviso, and what its fate was
in The House will soon be known. But
we trust, however, that that body did not
permit thier sectional feelings to cause lis
defeat. -
