The resolution introduced by Mr.. Foote

against, and we trust that they will be Ia

er they are taken no 10 be considered. We

an institution ordained BY God, beneficial
to mankind. necessity in our social and
political relations as states, and in our in
tercourse with all other nations or states.
Hence the admission Of any free states into
our union is not only repugnant to us, but
it will be only a continuance Of that evil
which brought on The war and to get rid
of which we are now fighting. If the
Northwestern States shall shake off the
a new government anu tsss,a ~ sl.-.. .la..a

shall be willing to treat with them as an

sf The gentleman who is reputed to fur
nish the brains and the money for the Adver-
tiser in almost every number makes sugges-
tive hints about Fort Lafayette, and the sum
mary process by which persons have OCCASION
ally found their way there. He evidently
thinks of his own liability to be accommodate
ed with lodgings at that strong hotel, and is
bespeaking sympathy in advance. We heard
an army officer remark the other evening, that
more pebald, truthless, heartless, unprinci-
pied set were probably never grouped togeth-
er than the forced inmates Of Fort Lafayette,
and to look upon them and their goddess
works was enough to cause any honest, loyal
man of all lingering sympathy for them.-
Wonder If he would be called upon to modify
this opinion, even if the gentleman of the Adj
yeriiser should succeed in coaxing himself in
to that Institution?

large and small bodies, have secuted the whole
country between the Potomac and Rappahan-
mock, aud as tar west as the Blue Ridge, and
report no rebels there, save a lew struggling

Ii is understood that Governor Curtin is to

From Mexico-French Reports.

New YORK, April %.
&. BY the arrival at this port late last night of
the steamship Eagle 18th inst. we have advices
from Mexico to the 18th inst, by French
steamer from Vera Cruz.
The news is very different from that receiv-
ed by way OF Matamoras. According TO
French accounts. Comonfort in an attempt to
join Ortega, in Puebla, had been defeated with
considerable loss, and Ortega had attempted a
sally in the direction of the capital, but had
been driven back. Ortega is also said TO have
offered TO capitulate, which otter was refused
by the French commander, who insisted upon
an unconditional surrender.
One curious item of the news is, that in an
swer to the prayer of a deputation of women
that he would not lombard the city, Forey
promised not TO do so, he having sufficient APP
pliances TO compel the garrison to surrender.
In this connection, we may mention a sig
nificant rumor which prevailed in Havana,
that Forey had suffered defeat.
The Havana news by the Eagle is without
special interest.
