t,.lttj,s confidential nature of that coin-
munication pat it out of our power to
state the particulars of it. Were we e
ven acquainted .with them, we, perma
nently posted here, should feel ourselves
debarred, by the confidential manner in
which such information must havc been
acquired, from placing it before our read
ers. Gentlemen in this city who cor
respond with distant papers are different
ly situated, and justly feel at liberty to
communicate, to the journsls for which
they write, any information which they
can collect from sources in which they
confide, though.it may be not either of
ficial or direct.
Wo have seen numerous letters from
this place
1 Phihdrl-
and New York papers, staling a
irreat deal more than we know of the
contents of the President's Message a
bovc referred to. Desirous that our read
ers shall have some information upon a
matter respecting which others know so
much, we have selected for their infor
mation the following, which gives proba
bly as correct an account of what is be
fore the Senate in secret session as any
letter lhat has been written :
CORRESPOND KNCE OF THE NORTH AMERI
CAN." WASHINGTON, J CN'E 10 7-1 P.M.
The President's message, communica
ted to the Senate to-day, contains pro
tocols cf the conferences between Mr.
Pakknham and Mr. Bcchanan, in refer
ence to the adjustment of the Oregon con
troversy. From the strict injuction im
posed on thc members of the Senate, and
from the manner in which I received
such information as I possess, I regret it
is not in my power to refer to the - terms
and character of the message as explicitly
as I could desire. I can, however, give
a general outline, sufficient for all purpo
sc.5 of public information. In my letter
of Sunday last, I mentioned the inter
views that had occurred in reference to
this subject between the functionaries of
the two' Governments, and named the
general features, to wit: thc 49th paral
lel the free navigation o( the Columbia
river during the charter of the Hudson
Bay Company, which expires in 1838,
and its re-charter, if one should be given
Vancouver's Island, and a common
right through the Straits of Fuca.
Mr. Pake-sham's power of settlement
is conditional. If the Senate will ap
prove cf the proposition as it stands, then
lie is authorized to fro on and complete a
treaty without further instructions from
the Home Government. If not, and any
important amendment is inserted, it must
be referred back ajrain. Great Britain
never will consent to nbaudon lhe naviga
tion of the Columbia river entirely. From
the evidence submitted in the Senate, it
is possible she might consent to a stipula
tion of years in regard to the necessary
rights. The British Government takes
the ground lhat upon considerations of
nalional pride, as well as from good faith
towards her subjects, they cannot be sur
rendered without remuneration.- It is
left optional, however, with the United
States to take them at a f ir valuation,
and whenever it may be most acceptable
and convenient. There is a letter among
the papers from Mr. McL.vne, which
induced thc authorises here to expect
more available terms than have been sub
mitted. He seems to have misappre-
i bended 'some points.
Should the Senate reuse to advise,
the most alarming embarrassments "are
visible in the future. Mr. Polk has said
enough in his message to convince lhat
chamber that unless they pursue this
course, no immediate alternative of ad
justment is left open.
The terms do not embrace' any thing
that has not at one time or other been of
fered ;io Great Britain by the United
States'. .

TROK THE NEW ORLEANS TICAYUNE JlinC 5
Wc understand that the next demon
stration of Gen. Taylor will be upon thc
city of Monterey. This place is about
ninety leagues from Matamoras, and is
approched by a diftleuU road, running
through an arid and ill-watered country.
It is thc principal city of the province of
New Leon, .and commands the entrance
to the tablelands or the interior of Mexico
through the passes of the Sierra Medre.
To make the operations of the army
upon Monterey more secure, if not abso
lutely certain, General Tavlor designs
occupying thc town of Camargo, about
250 miles by water above Matamoras.
To do this securely it is necessary for
him to have transports of a draught suita
ble to the navigation of the Rio Grande.

led him to delay further progress in the
enemy's country till this deficiency, is re
moved. Camargo is situated upon the
Rio Grande, and presents an admirable
foundation for a display upon the interior
and from Ccmargo to Monterey is about
forty leagues, or 120 miles. The coun
try lying between that town and Monterey
is more fertile than that between Mata
moras and Monterey consequently it
is altogether better for the army to pro
ceed from Camargo upon-Monterey. than
from Matamoras. r
With a'viewvto expediting the march of
the army. Capt. Sanders, who has dis
tinguished himself in the admirable de
fences he has constructed about Point
Isabel, has been dispatched to this city to
procure the necessary transports. He
is now in the city of New Orleans, but
will proceed up the river immediately to
supply the deficiency in transports which
his purchases here may leave. From
the mcuth of thc Rio Grande to Matamo
ras vessels drawing four feet water can
run without obstruction: above that point,
up to Camargo, there are not more than
three feet water in many places. Steam
ers of the proper draught can scarcely be
got in sufficient numbers here to answer
the purposes of an invading army, and
therefore Capt. Sanders will go West to
find them.
Before reaching Camargo the army
will have to take the town of Reynosa,
which is between Mitimcras and Ca
margo. It is not expected, however, that
any defence will be made of such vil
lages. Gen.Taylor designs now to be at Mon
terey as soon in July as possible. At
that'place, it is believed, the Mexicans
will make a stubborn stand, if at all du
ring the war. If the troops under
Gen. Taylor occupy Monterey, the
whole cf' Mexico this side the Sierra
Medre will be in the possession of the
United States, including the mining dis
tricts of New Leon, New Mexico. Santa
Fe, Chihuahua, tc. This calculation is
based somewhat upon the idea that the
United States will order an expedition
from the Missouri river upon the northern
provinces. If this be done, the whole of
north Mexico will be in our possession.
Such a disposition of lhe forces cf the
United States would end the war at once.
But, if it did not, our army would hold
the key to ihe whole of south Mexico,
and the gates of the capital would, speak
ing in a military sense, be in the posses
sion of Gen-Taylor.
IepSorabIc 21assacres in Texas.
A letter from San Antonio de Bexar,
gives deplorable accounts of murders and
robberies committed upon the people in
habiting the western frontier of Texas, In
die Camanches . and Lipans. Most of
the able-bodied men of the colonies of
New Braunfels, Castroviile and Lake
Quani having joined the army under Gen.
Taylor, the savages proifiting by their ab
sence, threw themselves upon the old
men, women and children, burnt the hou
ses, the crops of corn, mutilated the dead
bodies, and carried off a number of chil
dren into slavery.
The Commercial Association of Ger
man Princes who undertook to colonize
the mountains of the San Saba, have not
been successful in their plans. They di
rected a convoy of one hundred wagons
on the route towards the colony, which
was attacked by savages. The German
emigrants, after fighting desperately, were
overwhelmed by numbers and obliged to
retreat, leaving behind them a great num
ber of killed and wounded in thc hands
of the savages. The wagons contained
the whole fortunes of the emigrants.
The people say lhat two companies
oufht to be despatched without delay in
pursuit of these savages, if the exigen
cies of the service will permit the absence
of such force from the main army.
When the troops make their appearance,
the savages will fly before ihem but will
afterwards return and commit new rava
ges. A strong body of soldiers should be
permanently stationed near the settlements
to restrain those Indians.
The improvidence . of the leaders of
these colonies has become .proverbial.
They arc generally land "speculators
who, since the slave trade is abolished,
have madff a commerce with the whites.
Generally, the emigrants are brought
over in bad ships, and made to pay a high
price for their passage they have no
medical treatment when sick, and on
board ship, many of them die; and when
they land they are again cheated in the
transportation of their baggage.
We trust the Government will tatte
these unfortunate emigrants under their
protection as they were the first to fly
to arms at the calf of their adopted country.-
It is to be hoped that some method
will be devised of arresting the oppres
sive conduct cf the speculating leaders of
the colonies. Bic. Rep.
Great Fire In Warren, 2iio.
On Monday night last, the greater por

portionally more severe than the great
Pittsburgh fire. Many of the goods re
moved and piled in the public square,

VIOLENT TORNADO AT WIL
MINGTON, DEL. LOSS OF LIFE
AND PROPERTY.
By an extra from the Blue Hen's Chick
en, we are informed that a violent torna
do passed over Wilmington, Del., on
Friday afternoon about 5 o'clock, which
did considerable damage in its passage.
The ship house of Belts, Martin and
Ilollinsworth,' in which was being built
an iron steamboat, was blown down, and
two men named Hardy and MeCay were
instantly killed, and another named Neil
Duflie was severely injured.
The ship house of Mr. Thatcher vas
also blown down, and Richard Roberts
and a boy named Ilarmer was severely
injured.
A carpenter's shop was blown down,
and E. Hirons much injured; a portion of
the roof of the Asbury Methodist meet
ing house was blown cfT. the fronts of
two new brick houses blown in, a Facto
ry, Brewery, and the colored Odd Fel
low's Hall and a dwelling, were struck by
lightning, but only slightly injured. Two
barra c!;s were blown away.
The shipping suffered severely. The
bri" John M. Clayton was capsized and
her masts torn out; the cook's leg was j
broken, and all the men had to swim to
escape with their lives1. The masts of
several vessels wcre carried away; the
steamboat Bolivar was injured and thc
W. Whildin had all her deck load blown
overboard, and the captain was near be
ing blown over himself and drowned. A
large number of persons were injured,
mrc or less severely, and some danger
enshv Rufh was the force of the hurricane,
that the awnings, posts, &c. on the east
side of Market St. many of them were
blown away and boxes, barrels, tc.,
were floating down the streets.
Horses were killed, and great damage
done in many places.

On our outside form will be found the
official correspondence between Maj.
Gen. Scott and thc Secretary of War,
called for by the United States Senate,
with the exception of the letter from Gen
Scott, Inch has not yet been permitted
to come before the public.
Not having room to enter into a full ex
amination of the subject, with proper
comments, we arc obliged to defer our re
marks until our next, merely observing
that the breast of every patriot and friend
of our country must burn with indigna
tion when they learn the conspiracy en
tered into at Washington to thwart, em
barrass and destroy Gen. Scott. It is
well known that no sooner was he ap
pointed to thc command of thc army on
the Rio Grande, than the President was
beset on every side-by his political friends
to countermand the appointment, and if
possible to throw Gen. Scott into disgrace.
That this was the cause of the delav, em
barrassments and implied censure which
led to the correspondence referred to. is
well known and a history of it, which
will appear, will disclose conduct as
black, perfidious and treasonable as was
that of Arnold. And its exposition,
while it will elevate Gen. Scott, still high
er in tho confidence and affections of eve
ry true American, will bring down upon
its authors the indignation of every hon
orable man.
The Administration have dug a pit and
raised a gallows for Gen. Scott, but they
will be the first hung and buried and the
rogues march will be beat over their
graves only let the peon e be made ac-

GEN. TAYLOR FOR PRESIDENT.
A meeting of the friends of Gen. Zac! -
ary Taylor for President, is to be held in
New York on to-morrow evening. As
"old rough and ready" is a decided Whig,
would it not be well for the Whigs to run
him for Vice President with Gen. Scoti?
Localities, as well as national services,
would render thc selection proper and pa
triotic. A meeting in favor of Gen. Tay
lor for President, has been held at Tren
ton, in New Jersey.
The Queen City.
This boat arrived at our landing ve3
tereay, Capt. Dugan on board.

actually dead, who were on the Queen
City when she burst her connection pipe,
was 15 to 16. The number scalded and
alive was from 30 to 40. Cin. Com.
Recent event3 prove that half a million
of Volunteers could be speedily, ob
tained, if a real necessity for their call
should exist. Men of all parties and of
every locality have shown great alacrity
to enter thc sen-ice, regardless of their o
pinions as to the cause or origin of the war.
