From tho Army.

We understand that letters have been received from
Major General Scott as late as the l4h February at the
Brazos He making every arrangement to remove
the troops to the island of Lobos but contrary his
pectaon the ten transports which had been engaged
New Orleans and the others which had been despatched
from the northern ports had not yet arrived 1t is certain
that they must have arrived there from both ports before
this time The ordnance too, had got to its place OF
destination.
Accounts had been received that the Mexican troops
were pouring into Vera Cruz, principally in consequence
of the dispatches which had been intercepted the per-
son OF Lieutenant Rchey, OF the infantry.
1t is also said, highly respectable authority, that
French merchantmen had just found its way into Vera
Cruz with ten thousand stand OF and twenty tons OF
gunpowder on board 1t remains to be in what
ner this vessel eludei our blockading squadron.
1t is said that Commodore Perry, who left Washington
few days ago to embark in the steamer Mississippi,
(lately repaired Norolk,) within week goes to the
Gulf, to take command OF our squadron.
Gen Scott had not received any very recent dispatches
from Gen Taylor but accounts had reached him from
Monterey of the report that Major Borland, with about
so soldiers of the Arkansas mounted regiment had been
taken by the Mexcans; but il was also said that Major
Gaines and the mounted Kentuckans were not there
when the Arkansas dragons captured

Adjournment of Congress.

As we write Is o'clock Congress is rapidly approach
inc the moment OF its dissolution. We presume the Pres
dent is about repairing the Capitol TO sign bills and
that the two houses will adjourn about IL o'clock What
measures will finally pass be rejected, the next few
hours will tell But one great measure is put be-
vond the reach of fate The three million bill has
rassed, and happy we are to add, stripped of the
Wilmot proviso Last night the wings made des-
perate effort TO defeat it altogether by going
into Committee Of the Whole, and when count
was called refusing many Of them, to pass between the
tellers Thus, no quorum appearing, they had to so
back into the House, and then motions were made for
adjournment This idle and ridiculous process re-
heated several tmesand then desparng to do anything,
and hoping for better things in the morning. the House
adjourned on motion of MIR. Boyd, of Kentucky.
This morning the bill was taken up-and we congratu-
late the country that it has passed The Wilmo provso
was rejected by majority S, and then the whole bill
passed by majority of about 80.
The military bill is still pending (as we write) The
House insisting upon its provisions, (he commanding
general, &C. } and the bill is sent to committee of con-
ference, We presume reporters will state the final
movements In their hands we leave the pen In fact,
we have almost literally thrown away for the last three
days-willng to state facts first, and then to make our
comments on them We have permitted Congress to run
to its adjournment without any particular notice of its
proceedings We shall have time enough to resume our
weapon after they have broken up.
