WASHINGTON, Feb. 81.
The government has been officially inform
ed of the action of the Mexican government
in relation to the invasion of Texas by bands
of vagabond Mexicans. The Mexican Minis
ter for foreign affairs has instructed the Gov
ernor OF Trumalipas TO make solemn decla-
ration TO the Confederate authorities that such
incursions are not only discounteuanced by
the Mexican Government, but meets with its
condemnation. The Governor of Trumalipas
is further required, rs far as possible to pre-
vent such inyasions OF the neighboring soil of
Texas. Should Texans or other rebels retail
ate by in turn invading Mexico, they are to be
treated as bandits, while those from the Next
can side passing into Texas are To forfeit all
claims of protection on the Mexican govern
ment.
The President to-day communicated TO Con-
gress the report Of the Commissioners of Ag-
riculture, with the accompanying matter for
the general Agricultural Report for 1862
From careful inquiry in military quarters,
there appears no possible ground which TO
verify the newspaper rumors of the appre-
hended raids by Jackson or others towards
Strasburg.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has
decided that whenever a manufacturer shall
use, or remove for consumption, or use any
articles, goods, wares or merchandise, which,
If removed for sale, should be liable to taxa
ton as manufacturers he shall be assessed on
the saleable value of all articles, goods, wares
or merchandise so used or SO removed for
consumption or use. Ii is not necessary, in
order to render manufacturer liable to taxa
ton under this decision, that the articles so
removed for consumption or use should be re-
moved from the premises or even from the
building in which they were manufactured.
The Senate, in executive session tonight,
confirmed the following nominations Rear
Adnirals of the Navy, Charles Henry Davis
and John A. Dahlgren; Additional Paymas-
ter, Edwin Ely, of Maine.

of victims of alcohol then made has given the
Institution reputation for drunkenness which
it no longer deserves. Two years ago the

THEATRE.-There was a crowded house last
night at the theatre, and the performance went
of well, save some confusion in changing the
wings, the machinery of which must be sadly
out of repair. The song Of Fair Column
bia" was sung handsomely by Harry Pearson,
but It lost its effect from want of grand cho-
rus and proper instrumental accompaniment.
The author, Mr.. Batchelder, was loudly called
for, bnt he did not make his appearance. We
hope Mr.. Jarrett has succeeded so well that
he viii be induced to make another visit to
Portland with his company.
