II appears that under the Tariff of '46
the imports into the United States are,
nearly sne-ihird more, during the same
time, than under the Tariff Of AZ, while
the revenue is S55, ,335 less. Now, what
is the actual effect OF this condition OF
things What is the absolute fru'h 10

II is this in the frst four naeafhs Of me
present year. The people Of fhe Ot'sfed
States, hare uaier focofoco tariG PAID
10 the manufacturers of Europe more
than nine miHions Of dollars in cash for
achaf uader the Whig Thrift lras f,ir'
nished al heme,--AND IN SO DOING, HAVE
DIMINISHED THE AMOUNT OF REVENUE
NECESSARY TO SUSTAIN THE GOVERNMENT.
Who then, let us ask, has been bene-
fitted by this financial measure of the To-
cofoco party If we have purchased
nine millions more of English manulac-
lures in four months than during the same
period in the last year, what will be the
result at the end Of a single year! There
is no reason to suppose that the importa-
tons will diminish until there is remo-
val of the causes which have produced
them. At the end of the present year,
then, we shall have purchased in foreign
markets, twenty-seven millions more than
during the last year Of the operation OF the
Wing Tariff In other words, the man
ufacturers of Europe will be benefited,
in the present year, by the amount of
twenty-seven millions more than during
the last. Under the Whig Tariff, that
enormous amount weuld not have been
expended at all, or, if such had. been the
case, it would have been paid out among
the mechanics, the labcring men, the man
ufacturers of our country.
1t must be evident, then, that, the Tar
if of '46 is a British tariff, specially and
particularly adapted to the wants of the
British manufacturers, and protecting their
interests at the expense of the labor and
industry of the American. Itgives to the
British manufacturers twcnty-seven milli-
ons more Of our money than the Whig
tariff would have done, taking from our
people that amount in the products of
their industry Cumb. Cir.

GEN. TAYLOR AND THE ADMIN
ISTRATION

The New York Tribune has a letter
from New Orleans correspondent, under
date of the 18th instant, which runs thus:
1.-The volunteers who were with Tay-
lor are returning, full of the warmest adj
miration of lis character as a soldier, and
humane and good man, but overhowlng
with wrath against the administration,
that they believe did It's best to sacrifice
them. They cannot be convinced of the
contrary. | am informed of this by an
officer who is among them on the Rio
Grande. The people of this country will
be astonished and indignant when they
know fully the manner in which the con-
Germ at Washington has treated General
Taylor. | knoac from unquestIonable au-
thority that for FIVE months not single
despatch Of his has been answered, (un-
less within the last few weeks,) and no.
thing sent him except an insulting letter,
enclosing the letter written by him to Gen.
GAINES, and demanding TO know whether
he wrote it. am glad to say that Gen.
TAYLoR's reply was in every way worthy
the spirit of high-toned free American
citizen, who has never learned to fawn
that thrift may follow. He replied that
he did write it, and as he did not intend
it for publication, had not before examined
1t very carefully but, now, on re-ex-
animation, he found not a word or ex-
preston that he wished TO alter. He as
ked no favors; they might make the most
Of it. They took away all his regulars,
save handful, and left him none but raw
volunteers. Had he retreated on Mon
terey, as directed by the War Depart
ment, the whole country from SaltiIIo to
Matamoras, in the opinion of all military
men there, would have been lost. There
is much more vet to be told on this SUBJ
Iect al another time.

ARMY INTELLIGENCE.

FROM THE n. o. BULLETIN OF MAY IL.
In converslng with officers recently
from the army, we learn that the general
impression was that Puehla would be the
extent of Gen. ScoTT's advance until he
was strongly reinforced. This the Gov
ernmcnt are now doing, even to the ex-
tent of Withdrawing troops from the Rio
Grande, which were originally intended
for Gen: TAYLOR, as we learn that Brig.
Gen CADwALLADAR has been ordered to
proceed with the larger portion of his
command, now at the camp of instruction
at Palo Alto to Vera Cruz.
1t was originally intended that one-half
OF the ten regiments should join Gen.
Taylor, but we recently learned that only
the Sd Dragons and 10th Infantry would
do so, and since then an order has been
received for five companies of the former
to proceed 10 Vera Cruz, leaving only the
other FIVE for Gen. TAYLOR.
We infer from the Government thus
directing the new levIes, as well as vol
unteers, to join Gen. ScoTT, that the
main, and probably the only movement
on the capital viii be by that route, and
that the plan for Gen. Taylor to advance
at the same time by San Luis Potosi, has
been abandoned. There is, at any rate,
no present indications that Gen. Taylor
will have at his disposal any thing like a
sufficient force TO advance from his pres
ent position.
Though active measures are on foot 10
hurry forward reinforcements TO Vera
Cruz as rapidly as possible, consider
able time must necessarily elapse before
they can reach the headquarters of Gen.
ScoTT's army, and unless he concludes to
advance on the city with his present re-
duced force, it will be some weeks yet
before he will be able TO do so, particular
ly as his transportation means must also
be greatly increased. which is work of
time.

THE TARIFF OF FoRTY-sIX.

The locofoco papers are congratulating
themselves upon what they term the ben
ifceat ELECTS of the Tariff of '46.
As this is matter Of fact and not Of
assertion, let US now for a moment exam
inc the subject with a view of ascertain
ing what have really been the effects of
the Tariff Of '46.
Since the Tariff of '46 went into oper-
alton, certain results have been made
manifest, which, by mode of reasoning
sufficiently natural, have been regarded as
effects resulting from its action as cause.
We shall not for The present investigate
the correctness of this deduction, but con-
tent ourselves with an examination of the
results themselves. We shall, thereby be
enabled to Judge whether there is any
cause for congratulation, to be derived
from the apparent influence OF the locofo-
co financial system upon the interests of
the american people. What, then, are
these facts And first as to revenue.
By official reports it appears that the
revenue derived from customs at the port
of New York, during the firstfour months
Of the present year (viz January, Feb
ruary, March and April was $6,69O,743
During the same period for
iS46, under the Tariff of 40 6,746 O7s

We learn that the troops which have
been and still are, constantly arriving
here, and which were to have reinforced
Gen. Tayler, have had their destination
changed, and will be sent forward, with
all possible haste to Gen. Scott.
The above paragraph is from the n. o.
Bulletin of the l2ih instant 1t is very
clear indication that the administration is
satisfied with what Gen. Taylor has ac-
complished and is unwilling to put him
TO the trouble of doing any thing more
in the service Of his country. By the lst
OF July, the terms Of service Of thirteen
of his regiments will have expired, and
he will then be left with mere handful
of men in the heart of the enemy's coun-
try, surrounded by people who have
determined to wage war of indiscrimi-
nate slaughter, without reference either
to sex or age. Sooner or later. he will
learn it to his cost. If he has no en-
ptoyment for Gen. Taylor m Merico,
lie people hare use for him at home.
