WARRINGTON. Jan. Ia.

$685.. WARRINGTON, Jan. IA, 1850.
The Hungarian patriots, Gov. Ujhazy and
his brave companions, arrived here at noon,
and will remain for several days. They in
tend, 10 morrow, 10 pay their respects TO the
President, and Vice President, and 10 all the
other functionaries. The only person who
has as yet visited them, is General Houston.
1t may trnly be said that, on this occasion,
as on many others, he proved himself wor.
thy representative Of the Lone Star
Mr.. Houston to-day introduced the Missouri
Compromise in the Senate, in the form Of
resolutions, coupled with a declaration that
Congress have no right TO meddle with the
Slavery question in any State, Territory or
District where it now exists. The resolution
lies over hut will be called up soon. Sam
Houston is Southern moIerado, and firm
lsionist. This is important at the present
crisis. Texas as border State will have
much 10 say, should the time arrive with
which Mr Calhoun is threatening the North I:
and should not be surprised if Sam had
also few words to say 10 Mr.. Calhoun him
self.
MIR. Meredi,h's Circular, published in this
mornings lnteligencer and Republic, has
given rise to a considerable debate in the
Senate, and will lead to warmer discussions
in the House. Mr.. Meredith will not be
permitted TO carry out his views; and the
expenses Of collection Of The revenue will be
reduced to the standard, fixed by MIR. Walker
in his estimates Of ls46, without inAicting
additional taxes on the merchants and the
community.
The Committee OF Ways and Means have
been examining into MIR. Meredi,h's es,i
mates, and cannot perceive where the deficit
is to come from. They are determined to
cut down the expenses Of the government, SC
as 10 make them produce a surplus.
An efior, is now making 10 induce the GO.
vernment TO enter into contract for The
transportation Of the mail across the lslhmus
Of Panama. II is TO be hoped that Congress
| will not engage the faith of the government
to large amount, or for many years 10 come
Other prospects and other routes will be sub
| mitted TO Congress, and il will be best not tc
contract with either, till government shal
have had chance to examine them, bott
as to expedition and security. Meanwhile
the gentlemen from the South will not lister
10 any plan of constructing railroad which
will connect the two oceans across our OWL
country; because, forsooih, they do not know
whether the road would not, in case Of sep
aration, favor the northern confederacy owe
