The Position or THE ARmY.-General
Taylor, with the main body of the Army,
was at Victoria, (Santander. on the maps, !
January 7th, but whether he was inte ndiny 2 to
stay there long, or to move on towards Tam
pico,w we are not informed. Generals Twiggs
Patterson, Ouitman and Pillow we're also
there. All idea of on attack upon San Luis
Potosi seems to be given up, Gen. Scott was
about 10 take the command.
General Worth continues at Saltilo with
only 1900 regulars, but wus daily expecting
reinforccments Of volunteers, enough to give
him 1900 men. Gen Wool IL at Agua Nue.
va, 10 miles off, with 220O volunteers, having
left at Monclova $50 men and Gen. Butler
is at Monterey, in his rear, with full 5000
enough for Gen. Worth, considering the
strength Of that position, TO fall back upon, OF
enough, il desirable, TO reinforce him against
any moderate armament where he is.
II is not certain whether General Taylor
in person will 90 on to Tampico, or return "a
Saltillo. A writer from that place, in the
Alexandra Gazette, snys positively -
"Gen. Taylor, after reConnoiiering the
country in the vicinity of Victoria, will re
turn with the regular cavalry, and make his
headquarters in this city. There is q road
over the mountains from San Luis Potosi to
Victoria. but only practicable for footmer
and cavalry so that any demonstration thai
Santa Anna may make upon the troops ir
that quarter, must be without cannon, hi.

NOVEL SPECULATION.-An enterprisiDg
Yankee al Canton hns recently built Chr
ncsc junk of about 300 tons, fitted and rig
ged entirely after the Chinese mode, which
he intends taking to New York, loaded with
every species Of China knicknacs ,curiosites
&C., to be sold on board after arrival off that
city. He takes also Chinese crew, the.
atrlcal and juggling company, males and fe.
males, and every thing curious, Illustrative C
Of the manners and customs Of the Celestials
The junk will have canvass sails and Chris
han rudder to make her suitable for the long
voyage, but upon arrival at the Narrows,
every thing foreign will be replaced by Chi
ncse articles, mat sails, clumsy rudder and
all, and the junk anchor off the city in her
entire oriental costume and build, where she
will remain ss q show shop, sale room and
mountebank exhibition. II is expected she
will make the passage in five months. The
cost Of the whole affair will be about $50, 600
and the "cute" proprietor will undoubtedly
realise a large fortune. After having cx.
hausted the United States he has been offer
ed 1000 TO deliver his junk in England
The Manhaitanese will stare as broadly at
the strange sight Of cruiser from the flow

the nborigincs when old Hendrick Hudson
astonished their unsophisticated senses by q
display Of his Dutch canvass in their bay
The junks are said 10 be good sea boats and

voyage. We only wonder some one never

The Committee of Conference reported an n.
greement which they had come to with the
House Committee in relation TO the army bill.
Its principal feature is, that the President can
appoint company officers during the recess of
congress, but must appoint field officers
while Congress Is in session. Mr. Hunting
ton spoke IN opposition to the report. He
thought IL unconstitutional to empower the
President TO appoint any officers in the recess
Of Congress. After further debate the ques.
ton was taken on agreeing to the report Of the
Committee, so far as relates to appointments,
and decided in the negative, yeas IL, nays 80.

FIRE.-A FIRE broke out on Wednesday
night about ii o'clock in the drying chop
connected with and improved by the Ameri.
can Print Works, at the foot of Annswan
street in this place. The building was stone
about one hundred feet long, and was full OF
nearly so, with prints end other cloths hung
mp to dry-all Of which were consumed TO-
ge,her with the roof oi the building. The
FIRE is supposed to have originated from the
heat Of one of the hues communicated TO the
cloth hanging over it, and which might have
been nearer to it than those in attendance
were aware. The wind was light at the time
although it had blown gale but shor, time
previous, and blew fresh not long afterwards
The fire companies were prompt on the spo
and together with the force pumps, soon ex
,ngushed the flames. The loss is estimated

War or Peace.

There are three distinct propositions
now before Congress, all having refer
ence to the desirable and desired object
of bringing the unhappy war with Mexi-
CO to close. One is the Presidents,
and asks an appropriation of three mil
lions, to be used in some mysterious way,
which the President will not fully explain.
All we are told about it is, that Mr.. Sc
vier, the chairman Of the Senate's COM
mittee on foreign relations. that tho
President has been for a long time in
correspondence with somebody in Mexi-
CO, by which correspondence he learns,
and is satisfied, that peace can be got by
the aid Of these three millions. s.-This is
all Mr.. Sewer tells us from the President.
On his own account he adds that there
can be no peace except on the condition
that Mexico gives up to us California and
New Mexico, whence we are left to in
fer that for New Mexico and California
we are to abandon all the other conquests
we have made, all claim for the expen-
ses ofthe war; all our other money claims,
and pay those three millions into the bar
gain. In other words, that for New
Mexico and California we are to sacsi-
fee fifty, sixty, hundred millions of
dollars, as the case may be. This is ono
proposition.
The second is Mr.. Berrien's. II con.
sists Of declaration, by the Senate, that
the desire or intention of Congress. in
prosecuting the war, is not to dismember
the Mexican republic, or obtain any por-
ton of that republics territory by con-
quest. This, it will be seen, is diamet-
rically opposed to the Presidents. Mr..
Berrien has not yet explained his idea,
but we may suppose that his proposal i
to have twofold operation-on the Mex
leans and on the Government Of our own
country. Conquest, acquisition Of terri
tory, being now avowedly the great OBJ
ject Of the latter, specific declaration
by Congress against acquisition Of terri
tory may be well expected to abate the
appetite Of the Government for war, and
turn its thoughts in peaceful direction.
The certainty Of this effect is shown by
the outcry which the Government organ
sets up against Mr. Berrien's proposition.
/ The third proposition is known as the
Wilmot proviso. II addresses itself TO
the Government and the slavc-holding in
terest, Of which the Government is con-
sidered the organ; and like Mr.. Berrien's,
it proposes to act by taking away induce
ment for the continuance Of the war.
These three projects will form. as we
suppose, the subject Of long and highly
important discussions in both houses Of
Congress.-N y. Com. ADJ.
