I learuthat Gen. Gaines, who has bean
| in ibis city some days, intends TO publish
an address 10 the public, explanatory OF
his views Of the proper mode of conduct
! ine The Mexican war and defending the
the course taken by Gen. Taylor.
II is also said that Gen. Gaines, though
he admits that Gen. Taylor'sa letter. OF
Nov. 9th, was addressed to him, denies
that he authorised or permittedits pnbli-
cation. He says. as learn. that. be gave
The letter to the editor Of the Eapress to
read but no. to make public.
But Gen. Gaines promised account oi
the operations connected With the Mexican
war, may possibly be suppressed:in con.
sequence of the revival and enforcement
of The Army Regulation forbidding such
publication, ON pain Of dismissal from the
service. The lone Of the article in the
| Union of Iast night, -oo-tI'e.~t3sc,-nE f-An-
Taylor's letter, may admodsh the Vene-
rable General Of the expediency Of holding
l.his pen, if not his place. do not think
that the public generally LOOK with much
| admiration upon the epistolary displays
! Of military men. Commodore Porter,
Commodore Decatur, General Gaines, and
| General Scott, did not enhance their rep.
! uialion by auy of their writings, and the
public have been disposed TO respect Gen.
Taylor the more for his discreet reserve in
this regard. They will be glad to learn
that General Taylor did no, intend bis
| letter for publication, aud tina, General
Gaines did not connive at its surrephtlous
publicity.
TO morrow is the day assigned for the
consideration in The House, of the bill ap-
propriatfng three millions of, dollars Tor
the purpose of enabling the President TO
obtain speedy and honorablepea with
Mexico. There may he sotne opposition
to taking It up, but it will require a vote
1 of two-thirds to prevent #. The anti
slavery will be offered TO this Bill, but it
4 may or may not lie concurred in. / i'm
! :agine that the question will be productive
of much excitement in the House and IN
the country.
Join, Resolutions have passed the Sen
ale of The State Of New York, with only
three dissentent votes, requesting their
Representatives and dinslructing their Sen
a,ors to vote for The restriction OF slavery.
The lower House will undoubtedly ton
cur in them, and It was expected that
their fnal passage would be so timed as to
have sheir fall eaec, upon the New York k
representation in Congress. I understand,
however, that there are but three of the
New York members Of Congress who were
expected to vote against the proviso.
There will be a. great debate 10 the
Senate Wtien this bill and proviso come up
10 that body. Mr.. Calhoun, who has been
remarkably reserved of late, will then
have a glorious opportunity 10 explain and
defend his views and those of the South,
on all the subjects connected with the war.
and the terms Of peace, and the right OF
