Another Letter from Gen, TAYLOR.

We subon an important letter from Gen.
Taylor, elected by one from the editors Of this
paper, propounding The following inquiries:
at has been stated in some of the papers in
a most positive manner, that you have said, if
Henry Clay be the nominee Of the Wing Ma.
tonal Convention, you will not suffer your
name to be used as u candidate.
alt has been also stated, lately, that, in recent
conversations, you have declared that you are
in favor of the Tariff of '46,'of the Sub Trea-
sury, of the War-that in fact the responsible
ty of the war belongs TO you-also; that, if g.
lected President, you will choose your Cabinet
from both parties.
"Ws respectively solicit an answer to the
following questions:
/. Will you relusethe nomination OF a Wing

2. Do you design TO Withdraw il Henry Clay

The following important bill was yesterday
reported TO the House from the Commiitee on
Commerce.
Be ii enacted, &c., That the President of The
U. States shall issue his Proclamation that the
articles hereinafter mentioned, being the growth
and production of the United States, and admit
ted into the Province of Canada, by law, free
of duty, that on and after that day, the like ar
ticles, being the growth or production of the
said Province of Canada, shall be admitted in
10 the Uniled States, free of duty, when impor-
ted direct from said province, so long as the
same enumerated articles are admitted into said
province of Canada from the United States, free
of duty, unless otherwise ordered by Congress:
10 wit-Grain and Breadstuffs of all kinds, veg
etabes, fruits, sailed and fresh meats, ores of all
kinds of metals, timber, slaves, wood, lumber
of all kinds.
This bill, being one Of immense importance
TO the internal trade, have copied it from the
manuscript.
The business in Congress to-day has been
more important than during any day OF the ses'
sion.
The Administration members were beaten
upon the motion to carry the Ten Regiment
Bill through the House, or even to the commit
lee of the whole. They failed, after a close
contest, and deeply interesting struggle, by six
votes only. Whig vote, 80. Opposition 74!-
The bill, upon Wing motion, was referred to
the Military Committee, where the Wing MEM
bers were more than ready to refer it five weeks
gone by. So much for Loco Foco opposition.
The Joint Resolution, authorizing contracts
for American Hemp, upon the terms OF the prl-
ces paid for the past five years, was passed, and
the Speakers table cleared of all Senate bills.
The Naval Committee reported bill for es-
tablishing two lines of steamers-one between
San Francisco or Monterey and Shanghai or
Canton, and the other between San Francisco or
Monterey and the Sandwich Islands.
Most important TO the great reading public was
a bill of the following provisions, favorably re-
ported from the Post Office Committee,
1. All newspapers 10 go free within thirty
miles of the Office of publication.
2. All newspapers over 80 and under 100
miles, to. pay cent
8. Over 100 miles, cent.
4. Newspapers under the superGces Of 500
quare inches, to go free for 80 miles, and to pay
/ of cent for any greater distance.
5. Magazines and pamphlets TO pay cents
an ounce, for the first once, and ! cent for
second, for all distances.
6. Publishers of magazines and pamphletsto
be allowed free exchange with other publish
ers,

beg permission 70 remark, the statements which
have been 50 positively made in some Of the
Northern prints, to the effect that should Mr..
Clay Be the nominee Of ne IYhig National Con-
reHiiOa," had stated, shat lcOuld not suffer
NY name 10 Be used, are not correct, and have
no foundation in any oral or written remark OF
mine. Ii has not been my intention, at any
moment, to change my PosiIion-orI to Withdraw
my name from the canvass. whoever may be the
nominee Of the National Convention, either ol
the Wing or Democratic party.
Thirdly have never stated TO any one
that was in favor of the Tariff Of '46-oflhe
Sub Treasury, nor that originated the war
with Mexico. Nor, finally, that should (if e.
ecIed) select my cabinet from both parties. No
such admissions or statements were made by
me, al any time, 10 any person.
Permit me, however, TO add that should such
high distinction be conferred upon me as that
Of elevation to the Executive Office, the Con.
sIilution, in strict and honest Interpretation,
and in the spirit and mode in which il was act
cd upon by our earlier Presidents, would be my
chief guide. ln this, conceive to be all that
is necessary in the way of pledges.
The election Of another candidate would oc.
casion no modification TO me, but 10 such a re-
suit, as the will of the people, should willing
y and calmly submit. As have no ambition
to serve, but in the desire to serve my country,
it would bring to me no disappointment.
With sentiments of high respect aud regard,

when it was found thai the National Guards
were out in great numbers, they thought it ad-
visable to proceed peaceably.
Ii appears thar there was actually an attempt
made to depose the moderate members Of the
Provisional Government, which was rendered
abortive by the frmness Of NJ. de Lamartne.-
NJ. CabeI went to the Hotel de Vile and de-
manded an interview with the Provisional Gov
ernment NJ. Lamarme was the only one who
received him. NJ. CADET Immediately declared
that the Provisional Government had betrayed
the cause Of the people, that it was necessary,
and that il should be reconstructed.
lie then handed a list of those who should
form the new Provisional Government; and de-
clared, that if il were not accepted, the people
assembled in the Champ do Mars, would march
on the Hotel de Vile, and effect by force, what
they hoped would be granted by peaceabe
means. NJ CobeI was proceeding TO make some
further remarks, when NJ. Lamartine stopped
him, declaring that he was traitor to the Re.
public, aud that he would not listen TO him.
NJ. dc Lamarne Immediately left the room.
and after consulting with NJ. Marrast, NJ. Pas.
mere, and some other members of the Govern.
ment issued On order for the arrest of M. CADET,
but that citizen had previously left the Hotel de
Vile. II is stated, however, that he was taken
at late hour in the evening, and tha. he is now
in custody.

Interesting Pertrifaction.-The Ed
itor Of the Augusta Chronicle says:-
I've have just seen log five feet in
length, and about foot in thickness, at
the Office of Messrs. Jeffers & Colhran,
which is perfect petrifaction of flint,
in place Of lime. The rock is firm and
compact, showing the annular grains of
wood very distinctly. The bark and
most Of the sap wood were apparently
rolted off before the lupidifying process
began. 1t came from The plantation Of
Gov. Hammond, who supposes the tree
TO have been hickory. The weight OF
the stone or rock is 5S7 pounds.
