To The Senate and House ofReprestntoiipes cfths
United STATES in Congress assembled The memo
rial of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 18Th of September, 1850, that they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
that they do not expect or desire to reside on the
land thus granted; that If patented to them, the
expense of agencies and taxes will be an annual
charge, reducing the value of the grant, which
they could avoid il permitted to sell the warrant
Your memoriaIists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale Of the warrants, nssume'
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, are not competent 10 act for themselves,
whereas many Of them are among the most intel
Iigent and respectable citizens Of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
NAV be 10 modified to make the warrants for
bounty lands asxignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.

ANOTHER PROJECT RIPENING FOR THE VIOLA
TION OF THE LAWS AND TREATIES OF The
UNITED STATES.

TION OF THE LAWS AND TREATIES OF THE
UNITED STATES,
We derive from the st. Louis Republican of
September 9th the following information of another
medtated invasion Of the territory Of friendly
Power. and that Power one of our sister Republics :
i" We are no sooner out of one difficulty, caused
by the disposition of citizens to interfere with
the Government and property of foreign country,
thanwe are likely to run into another. The Cuba
expedition, for the last month, has absorbed every
thing else and even diverted the attention of an in
vading party of FiLibusfering Americans from what
seemed to be less attractive adventure !; but, now
that that enterprise has failed, they will probably
return TO their original project. We understand,
from source which leads us to give il implicit
credence, that for some time past number of
Americans have been concentrating upon the Rio
Grande, near Fort Brown. to assist in an attempt
to revolutionize the State of Tamaulipas, Mexico.
At the last account they numbered some three
hundred men, ready for the expedition, and were
waiting the signal from CARRAvAJAL, noted free
bsoter In that State for years past, and well re-
membered for his depredations upon small parties
of American troops in that part of Mexico during
the last war. He was to have taken the lead in a
pronunciamiento and the revolution of Tamaulipas,
and the Fillibusteros from Texas were to invade
the territory and to aid in the establishment Of the
new government. As we have said. the prospect
of revolution in Cuba, under the flag of Lopez,
diverted the attention OF our Tamaulpas patriots,
and we recolect that one of the accounts for the
New Orleans papers stated that about three hum
dred men had congregated about Mustang Island,
waiting the arrival of vessel to take them to Gu
ba. They did not go, however, and now the old
expedition will be, no doubt, revived. There are
many men in this country who are disposed to en-
gage in any enterprise rather than to do hard work,
and hence it is that expeditions of this kind are SO
popular. Other men profit by them in various
ways, in furnishing supplies, steamers, &c., in
fitting out expeditions at enormous profits, and in
picking up all the spare change which is to be found
among such number Of men collected together.
One would think that the very name of The free
booter who is to take the lead in the Tamaulipas
expedition would be sufficiently repulsve to deter
any American from engaging in suoh an enterprise;
but it is quite certain it is not We hope that the
Government already probably advised Of this foray
will take the most decided measures to dispense
those engaged in it"

We learn that Mr.. FORWARD, American Charge
d'Afaires to Denmark, rendered his resignation Of
that Office some weeks ago, and requested Of the
Government permission to return home; and we
understand that the PRESIDENT last week accepted
the resignation, and directed letters Of recall to be
transmitted to him; SO that we presume his friends
may look for his return home at an early day.

ToBAcco, which has been in rather mysterious
condition for some time, has at last submitted to a
heavy decline. The inactive state of the market
for several months in England is attributable to a
refusal of holders to sell at sacrifice but holders
could not hold always, and sales being at last me-
cessary the decline is at last made manifest. The
