A Blast Of War from the Gulf

Our latest intelligence from Mexi.
co is lreighted with the smell of gun.
powder and war. That ill.fated
country which for years has tottered
over the abyss Of ruin, seems as il
about to fall Of her own exhaustion and
weakness. BY dispatches from New
Orleans, now fully confirmed, it 10
stated that two Mexican steamers
the "Miramon" and the Marquee
were captured by the American squad
ron in the Gulf on or about the 9Th
inst, and are now LAYING off New Or.
leans, prizes Of the United States. -
The action commenced by the Mexi.
cans firing into an American boat
dispatched by Commodore Jarvis to
demand the nationality of the Mira.
mon, which was concealed. Three
Americans were wounded, one NOR.
tally. The Mexican loss is said to
have beeh fifteen killed and thirty
wounded. The engagement is de-.
scribed as spirited. The particular
circumstances in which this conflic,
originated have not yet been detailed
They will doubtless appear in shor,
time, and we may be more capable oI
Judging OF the merits of the whole
case. In the meantime the war oft
factions in Mexico continues with un
abated violence. An important en-
gagement was expected to take place
at Vera Cruz about the 10th inst, il
front Of which Miramon had Assem-
bled q well equipped force Of abou
six thousand men: The exequator o
the American Consul at Vera Crn;
has been revoked. What is to com'
of all this 1t 10 impossible TO deter
mine, but there is no need Of conceal
ing the fact that the relations OF th'
American government with Mexic'
appear at the present time to be In
more critical condition than they hay,
been Tor many years.-O. &atssmaa

From Columbus,
COLUMBUS, March 10, 1860.


This morning the bill for leasing
the Public Works of the State to Mes.
srs. Robinson, Nugent and Miller,
was referred to the Committee on Ju
dietary with instructions to report a
bill to lease the works to the highest
bidder. 1t is almost certain now that
the people will be taxed to the tune OF
over one hundred thousand dollars to
keep the Canals in navigable order
during the next year. The Board Of
Public Works asks appropriations
amounting to nearly $350,OOO. The
income of last year was about $780,
600. If the appropriations asked for
be granted, the loss to the State will
very probably amount to 100000,
which must be raised by direct taxa
tion on the people. Had the Legisla'
ture accepted the proposition OF the
gentlemen above mentioned, there
fore, the saving to the State would
have amounted to the sum OF $120,
600 year. The income of $4,000
per annum would have been perfectly
secured; the people would no Longer
be taxed for the PURPOSE ofkeeping
hundred or two political pets in offict
the public works would ceaee to b
used as a means of political corrup
ton and would be kept in better con
dition than they now are, notwith
standing the immense appropriation
which are made yearly fYr that pur
pose.

European affairs have recently
been attracting great attention. The
N. Y, Tribune gives the points as fol.
lows: rIgl.
France is willing to aggrandize
Piedmont at the expense OF Austria
and the Pope, in return for her own
acquisition Of Savoy and her old. AL.
pine boundary; but Austria and the
Papacy resist this, and enlist in their
cause the fears of Prussia for her
Rhenish provinces, and the general
distaste to sanction such principles of
territorial change. Rome sees 10 this
creation Of an Italian Power the strip.
ping Of herself of those temporalities
obtained with so mnch guile and in.
trigus. and 80 olings to Austria aud
the Austrian aims. This latter pow
or, to save her possessions in Italy,
eDlists Russia in her behalf by saeri-
ficing her pretensions to the Danubisn
Principalities, and Russia accedes to
her present policy, perhaps to create
a set-of with France and England for
their opposition to her designs on the
effects Of the original "sick man" Of
Europe. 20 Z" ! q = @','

FRIDAY, NJ arch 20.

The general appropriation bill has
been passed in the House with some
amendments. to which the Senate re.
fuses to agree. One 10 a protest in
corporated in the bill by the House
against the taking OF money from the
State Treasury in direct violation of
the law and the Constitution, as did
Gov. Chase & Co., when they took
from the Treasury some $4,000 to
repair some OF the Public Works.
The appropriation is in these words
ITO enable the Auditor, UomptroI,
Ter and Treasurer OF State TO balance
their accounts with Section 8 of the
Ohlp Canals, for The year 1858, tn,
sum OF S16,SS3 S0."
The following proceedings occurred
Mr.. Andrews then offered the fol.
lowing amendment:

that the money was faithfully applied
to the public use."

The Legislature closed ito labors OIL
Tuesday morning at 2t O'CLOCK, and
adjourned to meet again next January
The Canal appropriation bill, which
provided for leasing the Public Works
to the highest bidder, and apprOpria'
ted the income OF said works for their
repair, was finally agreed to by 'trik-
ing ont the provisions for leasing aud
adding $4,000 per month to their
gross receipts. This was accomplish.
ed after two Committees of Conference
had considered the matter, and after
Chase, Dennison & 20. had cracked
the party lash over the eight or ten Re-
publicsns who voted for leasing. 1t
was the determination OF the Republi.
Can leaders to keep the canals uIder
their control until after the Presiden-
tial election, aud they have succeeded,
at an expense to the tax payers Of
$24, 900 for the present year. In or.
der to pay this sum the revenues of
the ensuing year must oe anticipated,
for at present there is not a dollar in
the Treasury belonging to the General
Revenue fund, and there are oLtstand-
ing claims for work already done of
many thousand dollars. Instead,
therefore, Of having a revenue of at
east $4,000 year from the canals,
he pc ople must pay out OF their peck.

Mr. Cox said he hoped the vote

officers Of State to balance their books.
Mr.. Eerrick said he would not con,

State officers, for an act that would be
deemed moral heroism in itself. They
acted for the public good, and they
ought to be sustained.
