Mr.. d. 3. TAYLOR, Of the city Of New York, has
thrust thorn into the side of the Barnburners at
Albany, by offering series of resolutions in As
sembly, endorsing the doctrines of the Presidents
Inaugural Speech, and particularly the Compro-
mise measures His resolutions conclude follows:
And that the State of New York pledges her faith to
the Union that every law adopted by the constituted
thores of the United States including the fugitive slave
law shall be faithfully enforced within the limits of the
State.h
1t is awkward for the Barnburners, who claim to
be Democrats Of the first water, to withhold their
approval from any of the doctrines Of the Speech
especially on the eve of sundry appointments, Of
which they expect their full share. In order to
parry the thrust, Mr.. GALE moved a substitute, ex-
pressing an approval of the Speech in the gross,
without descending to particulars The question
had not been finally disposed of at the date Of our
last advices.-Journak Of Commerce.

the merit cannot be thus divided-it was the act of
calling Mr.. Webster into the Cabinet and placing
him at the head Of it. 'F
The whole course Of his Administration has been
judcious, conservative, wise. 1t has bound the

celebrate it; postcrity will do it honor.

WAR BETWEEN HONDURAS AND GUATEMALA
We learn from the Gaceta de Costa Rica that wal
is actually going on between the States of Hondu-
ras and Guatemala. The origin of the difficulty is
alleged to be that the troops of the latter had in
yaded the territory of the former Government and
committed various outrages last November; and
there being no probability of peaceful settlement
the Guatcmalan army, under Gen. Carrera, had
marched to the frontier with four cannons and that
of Honduras, 5000 strong, under Gen. Cabanas,
was already upon the frontier

documents from his Government, to prove that
he was the United States Agent 1t was sup
posed that Mr.. Elliott would at once proceed to
lay the matter before the United States Govern
ment.
