THREE MILLION BILL PASSED
BY THE SENATE.

The bill appropriating Three Millions
to BUY a peace with Mexico, passed the
Senate yesterday H the Wilmot
p~roviso. The National Intelligcrncer
says the matter was debated on Monday
until 8 p. NJ, when the question was ia
ken on the proviso offered in an early
stage of the bill by Mr.. BERRIEN, disa-
vowing the policy and purpose of conque-
ring territory from Mexico, which was
negatiyed by a majority Of some six or
eight votes. A substitute was then offer
ed for the whole bill by Mr.. JOHNSON, OF
Louisiana, mot varying its object, but
embracing some declaratory preambles,)
which was agreed 10 by general consent;
when Mr.. UPHAM moved the adoption of
a proviso prohibiting slavery in any ter
ritory which may be acquired, similar
TO the "Wilmot proviso,'') which provi-
SO was earnestly advocated by the mover,
and was %strenuously opposed by MIR.
Cass and Mr. Dickinson, Of n. York.
At a still later hour he vote was taken,
when the Anti-Slavery proviso was re-
jected-yeas 81, NAYS 81. The bill was
still further opposed by Mr.. Webster and
Archer, bat without success, and it passed
finally by a vote Of 20 TO "a.

Persons calling themselves Agents for the
Lady's Book, we deem it our duty TO
protect them, as far as we can, from any
further impositions. Our regularly con-
stituted Agents are published on the cover
of every No. of the Book, and yet in
defiance of this, some of our old subscri-
bers have paid these Inlpos,ers, and they
have also succeeded in getting new Sub
scribers, and receiving advance payment
for the same. In none of these cases do
we either give credit for the money to the
old subscriber or send the work to the
new. Consequently the loss is theirs.
Our Agents, besides having a Certifi-
cate from US, are also furnished with a
Certificate Of Agency, under the seal Of
Office, from either the Mayor of Cincin-
mali, or the Recorder of the City Of Phil
adelphia. Surely this should be a suffi-
cient guarantee. Let every person who
wishes to subscribe, or who is asked to
pay money, insist upon seeing these docu-

LATE FROM TAMPICO.

Shipwrecked Volunteers arrived safe
Health of Tampico good-7OOO troop:
there-Mexicans preparing TO defend the
city of Mexico.
BY an arrival at New Orleans, dates
from Tampico 10 the 10th of February
have been received.
They bring the gratifying intelligence
that'the LouisianaV Volunteers shipwrecked
on the Ondiaka, about forty miles south
Of Tampico, who were left by last ac-
counts in a very critical position. have ar
rived at Tampico all safe, except six men,
who were left on the road.
The Mexican General Cos had arri-
yep at the scene of the wreck with a con-
siderable force, and sent a summons to
Col. d. Russey, the commander Of the
American forces, requiring al ~unconditlOn-
al surrender, but with commendable dis
crction gave the shipwrecked forces a day
to consider. He seems TO have had no
appetite to come TO close quarters with
desperate American soldiers. The brave
L-ouisiananians waited until after night,
and then marched off for Tampico with
out experiencing the least molestation
from the discreet Mexican.
The health of Tampico continues pref
ty good. There are now at that place
upwards Of 1000 troops, regulars and vol
unteers-under the command of Major
General Patterson.
The volunteer troops from New York,
are still on ship board, off the port, the
officers ashore.
