FROM THE ARMY

By an arrival al New Orleans on the end
inst, we have late and import ant news from
the Army. We have only room for the fol-
lowing. 1t was confidently asserted al Au-
TO Lizardo that Santa Anna had been assass-
mated by his own troops, but the report, says
the Plcayune, needs continuation.
The most imporian. news-afier the rn
moyed assassination OF Sante Anna is that
in relation to the proceedings of The Mex
can Congress upon the project Of raising
l5,0OO0O0, by mortgage sale of church
property. The letter OF our correspondent,
which will be found below, allujes 10 the
de bate and final votes on this question, but
we find more full accounts in The DidriO
del Go6ierno of Mexico OF the 10 uIt., which
we copy. That paper says:
The basis of The project laid before Con
gress on The night of The 7lh, and which con-
sist in taken possession of the properly of
the clergy, has been adopted. Last night the
first article was adopted. as far as we can
recollect reads as follows: The Govern
menl is authorized to raise S $4,000, 900 TO
carry on the war against The United States,
giving mortgages on the properly OF The cler-
gy or selling the same, if necessary, TO raise
the above sum.
The discussion Of Art commenced yes
iterday and lasted until O'Clock p. NJ,
when recess was taken until O'clock
At that hour a statement was read from the
Vicar General. one OF The highest dignitaries
{ ofthe church, in opposition to the project.
Senores Caseia and Yanez Berriel supper
led his views; Senores Berriel, Gamboa
Rivera Lopez and Lacunzay Pecheco took
grounds against AIT |, and Senores Canas
Juarez and The secret taries of State and FL
nances in favor OF lis passage. After much
discussion, il was carried by a vote offs TO
i3l.-When art was discussed, giving Gov
eminent the power TO sell church properly.
Senior Oiero spoke againsr it, and Senior
Canas in favor. The vote resulted "A yeas
and 80 nays. Al 10 o'clock P. NJ. Con
gress adjourned. The debate drew forth no
luther light, the great argument of ministers
being that unless means were placed at the
command ofGovemment the Vice President
could not be responsible for the safety of our
country, and that he was apprehensive that
without funds the army would be disbanded,
and march upon the capitol 10 ligh, the torch
of civil war.
We see no account in our files, of the
Mexican Congress having touched the
matter Of a peace with the United States
in any way. In all the debates, on the con-
tsary, the most hostile feelings appears to
have been exhibited. ., !,

The DEsERTERs. Those members OF the
Senate who left their seats for the purpose
Of breaking quorum, have acquired an un-
enviable distinction which will cling 10 them
through life. They meet with no encourage
ment among their constituents. on the con-
trary they are denounced as "Deserters.
and volators of their oaths of office ,as regard
less of the important trusts confded to their
keeping. The Lafayette Journal-publlsh-
ed at the home of Mr. Orth, who was among
the chief actors in the disgracetul plot-shows
them little mercy. The editor of the Jousnal
exhibits fearless independence and feel
ing which will elicit general admration.-
He says:
We are both astonshed and mortified to
learn by gentlemen direct from indianapolis,
that the opponents of the Public Debt and
Canal Bill in The Senate, finding that they
were unable 10 defeat the measure in fair,
legitimate, and honorable manner, basely de-
serted their posts, aud ingloriously fed from
the CdpItol-thus abruptly and Illegally
breaking up the session before the public
business was done-in violation of their oath
of office, and regardless of the important trust
confded 10 them by the people OF Indiana.
We have not room now 10 speak of this
bold, reckless and revolutionary movement
as it deserves; bot we shall sllude TO il here
after. The leaders in this high minded out
rage will not be suffered to 60 unrebuked
and unscaihed
Even admitting that the proposed law was
such as should not have passed; still this is
no justification of this revolutionary proceed.
IRE. Belter-far boiler that an impolilC
measure should succeed, than that its sue.
cess should be prevented by u resort to such
unhallowed and disrepu,abIe means as were
brought 10 bear in this case.
Besides olherDst,ers OF Importance knock
ed in the head by the mobocralic movement
OF the Anti-Debt Bill Senator'S, We understand
was the Specific Appropriation BjlI-ior the
payment of the Door Keepers, Clerks, &c :.
of the Legislature.
We regret to learn that the Senator from
Fippecanoe, Mr.. Dab, is among the DEsER-
TIERS.

Discussion ON THE WAR.-There is a
highly interesting discussion going on the U.
S. Senate in relation to the war with Mexi-
CO, which we regret we have not space TO in
sert. The debate is reported at length in
the National Intelligencer, and the speech of
some of the members, particularly Mr.. Mil
ler's, are mastery. We have only room for
the following: -tl f@-4 *et
On motion of Mr.. Sewer, the three mil
lion bill was taken up.
Mr.. Sewer explained that the object Of
the bill was to enable the President TO con-
clude peace with Mexico. The President
was OF opinion, from communications he bad
recIved from Mexico, that peace could be
had, sand he was willing 10 assent 10 II,
leo and Upper California.
MIR. Miller spoke a, length in opposition TO
the scheme as one calculated to reflect Ma
ton dlshonOr upon the country. The Pres
ldent last year wanted two millions to ge.
Santa Anna into Mexico, and now he wants
three millions to get him out. 1t he believed
peace-honorable would ensue, he
would readily grant the money. But he had
no such belief. We should find the money
gone and peace as far off as ever.
MIR. Miller said il was now Tor the first time
ayowed by the President that the object of
The war is conquest, the ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF
the Mexican Republic. He was opposed TO
all such designs. He thought the wal must
90 on, and when the bill was footed up il
would be found that its first year would cost
US SlO0,00O,000.
Mr.. Berrien moved 10 postpone The further
consideration of the bill until Thursday
which was agreed 10, yeas %, nays Is.
Mr. B. then submitted an amendment
which he designed TO offer to The bill at a
proper lime, providing that it was the true
intent and meaning oftheappropria,ion that
the war with Mexico ought not to be prose-
cued by this government wiihany view to the
dismemberment Of that Republic. That
this Government will always beready 10
enter upon negotiations with view
of terminating The presen, unhappy conflict
upon terms THAT shall secure the just rights
and preserve inviOlate the national honor oil
both nations; and that II is especially deslra-
Die that The boundary of the State of Texas
should be defDisisely settled, and provision
made by Mexico for the prompt adjustment
of the equitable claims OF our citizens.
The National InleIligencer, OF the Bad in
slant speaking of the war discussion IN the
Senate on the proceeding day, says:
We rejoice that this discussion has begun
and begun in that body in which debate is
yet permitted, and proper courtesy observed
by the members TO one another. We knew
that the session could not pass away, unless
through entire contempt Of public feeling AID
expectation, without an expression by Con
gress Of an OpiniOa 10 what extent and 70,
" hat objects this war is to be further prose
culed, and at what point, when reached, j,
shall be stayed and ended. The occasion
has arisen even earlier :han We have sntici.
pated; and we are glad of it, because time
enough is yet before the Senate for q thorough
examination Of this great question on its
merits.
