WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.
An impoi tant movement is about TO be made
by the Secretary Of the Treasury, in his answer
to the resolutions of inquiry offered bylMr. Cam
eron in the Senate which reads as follows:
Resolued, That the Secretary Of the Treasu
ry be directed to rel ort to the Senate on what
articles embraced in the tariff Of 846, the du-
ties can be increased beyond the existing rules,
SO as to augment the revenue, and to what ex.
tent the duties eau be SO increased, and what
additional revenue would accrue therefrom.
And whether in his opinion any tax whfch may
be laid on said articles will increase the price
of the same to the consumer to any amount,
and if SO, to what amount.
This resolution was adopted Jan. z, and Mr.
Walkerhas employed his time since in prepar-
ing an answer The substance of it is as fol-
lows:
He will recommend an increase Of ten pei
cent, (you see he sticks to the ad ralorem prin-
ciple of levying duties,) on coal and iron.
He will recommend reduction Of ten per
rent on scythes, axes, &c., the duty rn which
he says, amounts 10 prohibition, and in his
opinion, depreciatesthe revenue.
He believes it to be a mistaken policy to
make any alteration when the tariff has not
been fairly tested by actual experiment.
He will recommend an increase of thirty pei
cent on refined and fine sugars.
The other schedules Of the tariff will be
somewhat altered for effect in particular ports
of the Union. You see he has an eye TO enjoy
ing Pennsylvania and Louisians, By discrimina.

Late and important from Mexico.

By the arrival yesterday Of the schooner
Mits, Capt, Thompson, from "A nton Lizardo,
we have late intelligence Of very interesting
nature from Mexico We have letter from
our attentive correspondent, dated on the 2Oth
ult., containing news of most startling ma
ture, as we'll as files Of Vera Cruz papers up to
the latest date received. The news of the
dea,h of Santa Anna, at the hands of bis sol-
ders, needs confirmation but that there is and
has been great excitement against him there
can be no doubt
The captain of the Mitis reports having ex-
perienced heavy gale on the 9Th ult from
the southeast.
The most important news-after the rumor-
ed assassination Of Santa A Annals that in re-
lation to the proceedings of the. Mexican Con-
gress upon the project o. raising Sl5,000,O0O
by mortgage or sale of church property. The
letter OF our correspondent, which will be
found below, alludes to the debate and final
votes on this question, but we find more full
account in the Diario del Gobierno Of Mexico,
of the 9Th ult., which we copy. That paper
says:
The basis Of the project laid before Congress
on the night of the 7ih, ndwhich consists in
taking possession of the property OF .thsPclergy,
has been adopted. Last night the first article
was adopted, and as, Ear as we recollect-reads
40 follows. The government is authurizedBo

the United States, giving NOR cages on the
property Of the clergy Or selling the same, il
necessary, toTase the above sum.
The discussion of Art. 1 commenced yester-
/ day morning and lasted until 5 O'Clock in the
afternoon, whea a recess was taken until 7
O'Clock. Al that heur Statement was read
| frcm the Vicar General, lone of the highest
dignitaries of the Church, jim oppositioB to the
project Senores Caserta and Yanez J Berriel
supported his views; Senofes Berrie, Gambos,
Rivera Lopez and Lacunza Pacheco took
grounds against Art. /, and senores Capas,
Juarez and the Secretaries of State and Finan-
ces in favor of its passage. After much, dis
cussion, it was carried by vote Of. SIS to 81
When Art. was discussed, giving Government
the power to sell the church property, senoI
Otero spoke against it, and Senior Canas in fa.
tvor The vote resulted in a. yeas and IS nays
Alto o'clock, P. M. Congress adjourned. The
debate drew forth no further light, the grsal
argument Of ministers being hat unless mean
were placed at the command Of Government
the Vice President could not be responsible fo
the safety of the country, and that he was sP
prehsnsi q that without fupds the army woul'
be disbspdsd, and march upon the capital Y
