Of age at the time of his death. He was born at
Peterboro', N. H., and was bred to the profession
of the law In 1910 he entered the United States
army, and served with distinction throughout the
last war with Great Britain. He rose rapidly from
the rank of captain to that of major general. He

son, but was prevented by sickness from taking
part in the battle. Ho rendered eminent services in
the battles of Chippewa, Bridgewater, and Lun-
dy's Lane, making himself conspicuous by his
courageous and intrepid spirit. 1t was at the last

declaration 'Ill try, sir" when asked if he could
storm an important and almost mpregnablc posi-
ton of the enemy. General Miller subse
quently appointed governor of Arkansas Terrific

''Theseries of measures to which have alluded
are regarded by me settlement, in principle
and substance-a final settlement the danger
Gus and exciting subjects which they embraced" !"
''By that adjustment We have been rescued from
the wide and boundless agitation that surrounded
us, and have firm, distinct, and legal ground
to rest upon. And the occasion, trust, will JUS
tify me IN ExHoRTINo NY coUNTRYMEN TO RALLY

LPREsIDENT FILLMoRE's MESSAGE
''The Presidents message, at the opening of the
spresent session of Congress, expresses fully and
plainly his own and the unanimous opinion of all
those associated with him in the Executive admin
istration Of the Government, in regard to what
sare called the Adjustment or Compromise mea-
sures of last session. That opinion is that those
measures should be regarded in principle as
a final settlement Of the dangerous and exotin g
subjects which they embrace; that though they
'were not free from imperiections, yet, in their
mutualdependence and connexion, they formed
. q system of compromise the most conciliatory
and best for the entire country that could be OBJ
tanned from conflicting sectional interest and
sopinions, and that therefore they should be ad.
hered to, until time and experience should de-
monstrate the necessity of further legislation to
guard against evasion abuse Thatopinion, sc
FAR as know, remains entirely unchanged, and
will be acted upon steadily and decisively. The
peace ofthe country requires this the security OF
the Constitution requires this; and everyconsde-
nation of the public good demands this. If the
Administration cannot stand upon the principles
ofthe message, it does not pect to stand at ALL

From PoRTuGAL.-The United States frigate st.
Lawrence arrived at Lisbon, June is, and landed
Mr.. Haddock, the United States Charge d'Affares.
The st. Lawrence remained at Lisbon at the latest
dates. On the 18th Sir Richard Pakenham, the
newly appointed British Minister, and Mr.. Had
dock, were presented to.the queen. Sir Richard
Pakenham arrived the same day as Mr. Had
dock, in the British ship Severn, which proceeded
the same afternoon on her voyage to Rio Janeiro
Sir Hamilton Seymour, the late British Minister,
about to take his departure. The following
view of political affairs IS given under date of
June 10:
"As might have been anticipated, the coalition
which contributed so much to place Saldanha in
power is dissolved, and the component ele-
ments have relapsed into their natural state of hos
tty. Miguelites, Chartists, and Septembristas,
have once moro thrown away the,mnsk, and openly
proclaim their principles and designs. None will
admit rival near the throne. Rumors of change
in the ministry have been current for several days,
but nothing is yet positively decided. Some steps
have been adopted to bring about reconciliation
of the discordant members of the Moderate party,
with the intention of directing their united efforts
to induce Saldanha to embrace their views, or to
compel him 20 resign The chief object of the party
is to prevent the publication of an electoral law of
such nature would virtually throw the govern
ment into the hands of the mob OF voters who have
no stake in the country

Hon. viIlinm II. King.

A telegraphic synopsis Gin general circula-

to be very erroneous since the receipt of the

sound as we could wish on the question, is far
from being inimical to the Compromise.

The following is the decision thereon
:" Executive MANsIoN, July 8, 1851.
"The foregoing proceedings Of the court martial

"MILLARD FILLMORE"
III Brevet Brigadier General George Ialeot ac-
cordingly ceases to be an officer of the army from
this date.
Interviewing these proceedings the President has
seen with regret, and feels constrained to notice.
the irregularity and negligence wbeG throughout
the transaction in which they originated. character
lied the conduct of Brevet Colonel Huger COM
mander, OF the Fort Monroe arsenal. The conf
dence naturally reposed by him in the head of his
corps, furnishes undoubtedly some apology for his
course, but cannot justify it.
The President deems it proper, particularly, to
express his disapprobation of all private CORE
spondence official business. Such practice not
only prevents the preservation of distinct and in
elligible record of any transaction, ndispensa-
bic in a government where public agents are LA
bic to be frequently changed, but is incompatible
with the admitted accountability Of every officer
employed in the disbursement of public moneys

Major General Twiggs is president, is dissolved.
