The Suplcntes substitutes from this district VIII
leave on Monday. The Monitor, in view OF thus,
renews its assurance that there will be a quorum
on Monday if there be not one already.
From the same paper of the I'd inst. we extract
the following items:
There We're rumors in the street, yesterday, that
quorum had been obtained though we could not
trace it to any reliable source. We shall expect
hear that Congress commenced its session yesterday.
New Leon.-Paras, the Governor of New Leon,
has acknowledged the receipt of the circular of the
Minister of Relations, announcing the ratification
of treaty of Peace by the Commissioners. He
SAYS that State, in the midst of severe sufferings,
has not lost sight of the national honor and nde-
pendence-that he will make known his opinion in
regard to the treaty. and that reaches the Ma
tional Representatives,
Another Ro6bery.-On Saturday last as the Pue-
bla diligence on its way to the city, 1t was fired
upon from both sides of the road, by some adrones
near Cordova. 1t was descending hill at the mo-
ment of the attack An American, one Of the
guards, shot in the head and fell of, though 1t
is not known whether he was killed or not. Ano-
Their was slightly wounded The coachman was
also wounded. The robbers on the road between
this city and Pueba, appear to be on the increase.
The roads are covered by rascas, and some OF them
will swing from a tree before they much older.
The robbers, in this case, obtained nothing In the
shape of plumber.
The Monitor insists upon it that the American
Commissioners leave to-day for Queretaro. We
bo1, do
probably not present the Treaty to the Government
until there is some slight probability Of its being
acted upon by the Mexican Congress.
Lieut. Martin, Sd Dragons, arrived from Pachu-
ca on Saturday. The health of the troops has coll
siderably improved.

paid them.
The Marines.--This corps left here yesterday for
Vera Cruz, and, as some suggest, are destined for
the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. Whether for that
purpose or to increase the Marine force the sea,
we cannot say but gone they are, and may good
luck attend them.
Health of the Troops at Molino-We believe that
the health of the troops now encamped at Moline
del Rey has been, for some time past, without ex-
ception, better than that of any other troops in the
SERVICE since the landing of General Scott at Vera
Cruz to the present day. The troops mentioned

teers and, from the medical reports, the health Of
the former for the last three months is quite unpar
aeled, while that of the latter, although few
men have died. may be considered as equal to any
regiment in the service. We are glad to- be able to
make such a report-Ameracan Star, Aprd29
Visit to Contreras.-Yesterday the two Commits
sioners visited Contreras, accompanied by General
p F. Smith, the hero of the battle fought at that
place. Messrs. Sewer and Clifford, to our mind,
could not have had better company than the Gen.
eral, in their examination of the ground and works
of Contreras. He could point out to them the dis
positions of the different forces on the evening Of
the 18th and Goth could, with that true modesty
which belongs to every great man, demonstrate to
the strangers the difficulties of access to the enemy
and the indomitable courage displayed by our
troops, without using the personal pronoun 4 In
every sentence-StGT, 29h
Died-At Cuernavaca, on Friday, the 2lst April,
Charles Walbridge. Charley has been with the

an enemy to no man but himsef-Star, 18th.

arrived the other day, was blooming young girl
in soldiers dress, pants, blue jacket and ALL When
questioned on the subject by Capt. jackson, she
was good deal confused, but said she wished to
accompany her husband, and not having clothes of
her own, she put on a soldiers uniform. Such a.

On Sunday, the 23d inst, Sergeant Smith and
three privates attached to Captain Wheat,s COM
mand of mounted men, when about six miles this
side of Perote, discovered at a distance OF about
five hundred yards from the main road ten Anleri-
can deserters, mounted and armed to the teeth.
Having been detailed as rear guard-to the mail
train, the body of the men were more than mile
in advance when the deserters were first seen; but
notwithstanding the inferiority of numbers, Smith
and his brave little party gave pursuit, and after
shooting one of the deserters succeeded in putting
the other nine to flight, capturing five horses sabres
and carbines, which, in their dread and confusion,
these miscreants abandoned in order to effect their
escape in ravine. The names of the brave men
who were engaged with Smith in this encounter
are Howell, Lynch and Lawson.-Jalapa Watch

THE BARNBURNERs-President Pok.-A WASH

will be permitted to take their seats at the Conven-
ton the Hunkers conserving to withdraw, pro-

support the nominee of the Convention, whoever
he may be- This, it is believed, the Barnburnsrs
will agree to, and thus the democracy OF New York
is to be united as one man. / give you this, not
merely as idle gossip or conjecture, but as fixed
fact. on which you may rely The Presi-
