The Expedition 20 MEexToo-Uaanimous Re
sistance OF the People.


By an arrival at New York we have adviees
from Havana to the 9TH. The news from Mexi-
co is highly important. The supplies for the
Spanish army Of occupation at Vera Cruz had
been entirely cut of, and there was said to be a
great deal Of suffering. l do not see, however,
why supplies cannot be had in abundance in
Cuba or South America.
In the meantime the Mexicans were preparing
for the most desperate resistance. Jaurez has
issued a proclamation calling the people to arms,
regardless of party. He declares that the recla-
nation Of claims against the republic is only
made a pretext for her ACKNOWLEDGMENT, and says
" tie government viii Iepel force by force SO far
as its means will permit"
The Mexicans were said TO have planted one
hundred and fifty pieces of artillery, taken from
Vera Cruz and San Juan de UIloa, IN the noun
tain passes which command the approaches to
he capital, and to have already collected thirty
thousand men. The resistance to the advance
of the SpaniaTds would seem to have been more
general and decided than expected.
Gen. Prim sailed for Vera Cruz on the ID, on
board the Spanish war steamer Francisco de
Assis, accompanied by the Ulioa and San Quen-
i'm. The French feet sailed at the same time
The names Of the vessels are as follows:
Ship2ofthe-fne Massena, Admiral de la Ora.
Were; frigate La Guerrero, Capt. de Silva:
6igste L'AstTee, Capt Duval higate LArdente
Capt Guizolme.
All the steamers are propellers. The lanC
force consisted of 2528 men. The feet was sooI
after followed by the steamer Montezuma, ant
the steamer L'Aube was still IN the port o
Havana on the 9TH.
Tie whole British feet had slready beer
spoken off the Mexican coast. It consists o
the following named vessels:
Ship-OEthe-line st. George, Sc guns; ship-oi
lifeline Sans Pareil, 20 guns frigate Mersey, A
guns figate Challenger, p guns; gunbOa
! Barracenta, 6 guns gunboat Plover, 5 guns
Total, 225 guns. The steam figates Ariadn
and Spitfre win soon join the expedition.
The Mexican CoTtez closed on the 18th ult
after having fully authorized the President t
adopt whatever measures he might think neces
sary to repel the Spanish invasion" MiramOl

THE CONCERT LAST NIGaT.-The concert
last night was no less a success than the one a week ago
Prof Winkler has reason to be pleased with the entire
appreciation the performance received. The quartette
party gave great pleasure by their correct and musical
performances; the glee Blow on, Blow on" A benuti-
ful, and was finely sung Miss Heussonis Iayedere was
well sung and obtained an encore; she has a very agree
able voice, and sings with a sweet Pensiveness that is
very engaging. Her recitation was much 0pplauded
she Is a great favorite. Miss Gibbs followed with an
qaesto seHpsee which she rendered gloriously, the
spring and ~aexibility Of her voice, and the perfect con
troll Of the s~ongstress over IT, gave her ali the striking,
dazz ing power usually possessed by the PROFESSIONALS
alone. She has strength and enduring power, as is
shown in her evenly maintained sosteuuto passages, that
is rarely excelled Her manner on the stage does
much to win the audience in her favor, it is
5 sslfeollected and easy, equally removed from
= sumption and embarrassment. Her entrees and
exits exhibit a piquant ias0ueiaHec that is very attractive.
We have not space to partic1larize each Of her pieces as
we would much like to 10. SheTas eneorediu them all.
We are 10th to think we have heard Miss Gibbs for the
last time. 8ir. Gibson, as ever, pleased every one In

accompaniment in the r~ecitative, and through the sue

eal attention. Indeed, throughout the. concert the or
chestrsl performances was excellent. The "Sextette"
is a composition of rayidling beauty, and was again well
sung. We should have TO select very high Terms to ex-
press all we think Of the piece snd its performance. We

The Richmond EEamins1, of the 18th, says
We learn that there has been q sharp aud pro-
longed controversy in secret session Of Congress
on the topic Of Gen. Beauregard's report of the
battle Of Manassas. It viii be recollected that a
portion Of this report was, displeasing to Presi-
dent Davis, who, we now learn, sent the dOeu-
ment into Congress accompanied by
of his own on some of its preliminary passages.
The order eventually taken by Congress was to
have the document published, after e~xpurgating
the preliminary portion of If and also the com
ments of the President thereon. We learn that
a number of members urged the publication Of
the entire report, with the Presidents message,
on the ground that injustice was done to Gen.
Beauregsrd in publishing as his report what was
not really his report, and for the purpose of con-
vincing the public that the controversy as shown
in the papers, SO far from being a serious oDa,
was of the most trivial description.

B We find the following curious account in
the Baltimore Clipper of the 9Th;
On Thursday last, an unusual occurrence
Tanspired at the camp of the Wisconsin 4th reg
iment, now encamped at Patterson Park. Peter
Moore, one of the privates, had been i'll for sew
eral weeks. He to all appearances died. "A
certificate of his death was handed to Major
Belger, who ordered q coffin for the defunct.
On Thursday morning Moore was placed in the
coffin, and just as it was being nailed down, he
greatly frightened the bystanders by sitting up
in his coffin, aud exclaimed that it was a shame
to bury a man before he was dead. Of course,
he was removed from the box and once more
placed under the care Of the doctor. Moore had
laid one'day and a night as if dead, aud came
very near being buried before his time. His
companions declare that, as he refused to be
buried when the funeral was ordered BY the
colonel, he has disobeyed orders, and should be
court-martialed.

PEELED to suspend publication, on account of the entire
mpossibility Of obtaining paper to print their articles
upon. Many of them have had the supporter a wide

circumstances would have brought prosperity, only had
the effect Of increasing their difficulties, and the more
surely rendered suspension necessary. To escape such a
contingency in their own e8se, the proprietors Of the
AFPEAL have been, and are compelled TO make exerions
Of no ordinary character and personally to travel over
hundreds Of miles to obtain a supply Of the material
upon which that journal is printed. But what is more

To the Chevalier.H %ulsemann, etc, etc:
SIR: l have submitted to the President the
note which you left with me. which was ad-
dressed to you on the 18th Of December last by
Count Rechberg, touching the affair of the cap
ture and detention Of the British contract steamer
Trent by Capt. Wilkes, of tle'San Jacinto.
I send you a copy of the correspondence
which has passed on that exciting subject be-
tween this government and the governments of
Great Britain and France; and 1 have to request
THAI you viii transmit tIBse papers to Count
Rechberg. The Imperial government viii learn
frona them two important facts, viz:
L. The United States are not only incapable.
for a moment, Of seeking to disturb the peace of
the world, but are deliberately just and friendly
in their intercourse with all foreign nations,
and
2. That they viii rot be unfaithful to their
traditions and policy, as an advocate of the
broadcast libeTality in the application of the prin-
ciples Of international law to the conduct of
maritime warfare.
The United Stats, faithful 10 their sentiments,
and while at the sane time careful Of their polit-
zeal constitution, will sincerely rejoice If the Oc-
casion which has given Use to this c0ueSpon-
dence shall be improved SO as to obtain 9 re-
vision of the Law of nations, which win render
more definite AMI certain the ties and obligations
Of States in time Of war
/ shall es.eem it a favor, sir, if you will charge
yourself with the care Of expressing these senti-
ments to ydlr government, and will, at the same
time, assure Count Rechberg that the President
appreciates very higiiy the fankness aud cor
diality witch the government of Austria has
p~racticed e1 an occasion of such interest to the
welfare Of the United States.
l availnyself of the circumstances to offer to
you, sir, renewed assurances of my very high
consideration. WILLIAM II. SEWARD.

INSURE AT HOME-There are certain expen-
ses that come on the man Of property, the merchant and
others, that mayb be greatly reduced by a iudicious course
Of -action-among them is that Of Insurance. If persons
who insure become themselves shareholders OF the office
in which they insure, q poFioa, at least OF the money
they pay for Insurance comes back to them in the shape
Of profits accruing to them as members Of the company.
In proportion as they insure, they add to the profits, and
cohss quently, decrease the amount Of their net payments
for insurance. This is SO obvious that it needs only men
tioning for its advantages to be seen. Citizens of Mem
phis have an excellent opportunity TO avail themselves
Of this judieious mode Of Investment by becoming share
holders in the Confederaey insurance company Of this
city. It Is also to be desired that the outlay made in this
way should be made in orr own city. Why should We
send to distant cities payments for Insurance that can be
equally well made among ourselyesf The profits will
be realized among ourselves, employment viii be fur
nished to our own citizens, and the large cash capital
accumulated viii be available as loans TO our own bust
ness men. These considerations are worth rejecting
upon.
