THE AFFRAY AT THE LOUISIANA HOTEL.-This
melancholy affair, which occurred about 10 o'clock
OH Thursday night, has cast gloom over the friends
Of both the gentlemen engaged in it. They are
both dangerously wounded, and time alone can de-
termine whether either of them viii recover. Mr.
Smith, who was arrested Immediately after the
affair occurred, was yesterday morning visited at
the watch-house by Gov. johnson and Mr., NJ. NJ
Reynolds, and removed to his residence to be pro-
perly cared for, DIR. Graham having given a certi-
1cate that his wounds were dangerous. From what
we have been able to learn of the affair." it appears
that Mr.. Smith made every effort in lis power to
avoid the rencountre, and even locked himself up
i'll room in order to keep away from Mr. Asplll.
Mr.. James Patton yesterday made an affidavit
before Recorder Golding, stating his belief that
Smith acted only in defence of his life, and that he
was iustiiable in shooting his assaiant We do
not wish 10 prejudice the public mind against either
party, and only give the above statements as they
reached US, without vouching for their truth.

Hs~ Mrs. Fanny Kemble Butler, it is said, is re-
siding at Lenox, Mass, where she has many
friends. A newspaper from that region informs us
that she INDUCES in various little eccentrcities
much to the surprise of the people-among others,
in her love for male attire. Her morning costume
consists of pair of pants, frock coat or blouse
as the weather may dictate, a.diclly and a cane
and with this outfit she wanders over hill and dial:
with an abandon which would do credit to any one
who had been from youth accustomed to this dress.
Mrs. Butler commences al engagement at the

FROM MEXICO.
We shall see.

Our New Orleans contemporaries mention the
receipt of Mexican newspapers to the 9th instant.
They give no news of the military operations OF
the parties contending for power, except that the
forces of BUsTAMENTE and CoRTAzAR had formed
junction and amounted in all to about three thou
sand, wherewth to attack the insurgents in Guiana
juato. Down to the 9th neither the papers of the
capital nor the Government had received late de-
spatches from the seat of operations.
The Supreme Court was engaged in examining
the question whether the protest against the Treaty
with the United States, which had been laid before
it by the Deputies of several States, was we'll
founded and constitutional. The main ground Of
the protest is, that Congress ranscended It's powers
in acting upon the Treaty, and that it should have
been referred TO the Legislatures of the States for
their appreciation or condemnation.
The Monitor says Mr.. CLIFFORD has not yet
presented his credentials as United States Minister,
and presumes he will not do SO until the Mexican
Government has named its representative at Wash
ington.
The Charleston Courier of Tuesday has the fol-
lowing important intelligence from Mexico, COM
municated to that paper by Telegraph under date of
"NEw ORLEANS, July 22
San arrival from Mexico brings three days
later intelligence. The dates from the capital
are to the 1th instant
"An engagement had taken place between the
Government troops, commanded by BusTAMESTE,
/, and the insurgents, under the lead Of PAREDEs in
: which the former was routed. The loss of Pa
REDEs is stated at twenty-seven killed and sixty
wounded. JARAuTA is said to be among the se-
verely wounded and probably mortally so.
''The roads throughout the whole of Mexico
are stated TO be infested with robbers, who were
I. plundering all that came in their way.
.Another arrival, bringing two days later intel
lgence, confirms positively the above intelligence
2 of the success of the insurgents, and announces
that they will probably overturn the Government,
and drive HERRERA from power, and dissolve the
= existing authorities.
BUsTAMENTE is said to have lost five hundred
men in the conflict that had taken place"

LATER FROM FRANCE.

The American steamer United States, which
sailed from Havre on the 18th instant, arrived al
New York on Tuesday morning, after passage Of
less than thirteen days.
Her news represents Paris as tranquil, though
arrests continued to be made of individuals impli-
Gated in the late revolt. The number OF prisoners
now amounts to 10000.
Gen. DUvrIER, who was honorably conspicu-
GUS among the combatants at the barrcades, has
died of his wounds thus making the sixth general
officer slain.
Gen. BEDEAU, moderate republican in princi-
pie, had been appointed Minister Of Foreign AZ
fairs, in the place Of M. BAsrrDE, member of the
late Government.
Lord BRouGHAM had called the attention of the
Government to the alarming increase OF clubs and
armed organization in Ireland. He promised
that the country would support any measures
that might be adopted to suppress them. Mr..
DUFFY, contributor to the Irish Felon, had
been arrested and committed for trial. Mr.. MAR
TIN, the proprietor, had been also arrested and
mitted to prison.

We hope no reader will pass by unread the
Speech of Mr.. DUNCAN, which appears on the
fourth page Of this days paper. We have long
wished to see some Member of Congress, compe-
cent 70 the task, take hand the great question: to
(which we have ourselves heretofore endeavored to
win the public attention, of the violations of the
Constitution which have been practised, through
error perhaps and not by design, by the present
Executive, in cenering in himself the attributes of
the Legislative Department of the Government.
That wish is at length gratifed. We trust that the
speech of Mr.. DUNCAN will attract general atten-
non to this important subject.

HIGH-HANDED UsURPATIoN FoREsHADowED

III
OBSERVER" the we-informed Democratic cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Ledger, writes as
follows:
"WAsHISGTos, JuLr %, l646
There is some danger of the Civil and Diplo-
matte Bill passing the Senate in the shape it came
from the House-to wit, with the appropriation for
the Savannah river. In this case the PRESIDENT
,ciH Uefo the bill, and, the same bill cannot be
brought up a second time during the same session,
call an extra session of Congress-"
Startling as this information is, the attentive read
of the Speech Of Mr.. BARROW in the preceding
columns will find remarkable anticipation of the
contingency, predicted by the Ledger's correspon-
dent Of Veto by the President of the annual bill
for the support Of the Government. The President
certainly reckons without his host, if he supposes
that Congress will, by adjourning forthwith, give
him an opportunity, after his negaving that bill,
to call the two Houses together to pass it in diff
ferent shape.
In subsequent letter the same Driter says:
Should the Senate refuse to strike out that
clause" he saysn letter dated the 25th, you
may expect the President to veto the bill, and let
his own supporters share the responsibility of the
act"

THE COMPROMISE BILL.

Quite contrary to our expectation upon the in
odachon into the Senate Of the bill generally called
me Compromise Bill from its leaving the question
al free soil in the newly acquired Territories of Cali
Sornia and New Mexico, as well in Oregon, to
fi,e decision Of the inhabitants, and finally Of the
Courts of law of the United States, that bill, after
having passed the Senate, coming up in the House
f Representatives yesterday, received at once the
coup de grace. By vote OF III to SO, IN full
House, it was ordered TO lie upon the table, from
which it will not be taken up during the present
session of Congress.
Our columns being SO much pre-occupied, we
defer till our next paper the expression Of the
shonghts to which this unancipated event gives
rise.
