She left the Brazes on the Clh instant,

Gentlemen: "Thus far into the bow
els cf the land have we marched on with
out impediment." The First Brigade,
tinder General Worth, is now well on to
Montery, and the second, under Col. P.
F. Smith, and Third, under Col. Garland,
are expected soon to follow. Capt. May.
with the Second Dragoons, and Major
Monroe, with the Artillery, are to move
forward in the same direction. These,
with the Tcxrns, Ohio and Kentucky vol
unteers, all under the command of Old
Rotia'i and Ready, will constitute an ef
fecJve force of T5C0 men. But a por
tion of these, however, will proceed to
Monterey, the remainder will be station
ed at different posts in the rear, to guard
them and preserve a communication with
the supplies. This is not a pleasant ser
vice for those v. hoare"eagerfor the fray,"
but it can't be helped.
The want of proper means of ljml
transportation is severely felt; .'although
General Tavlor Ins an effective force of
nearly fifteen thousand men, not a single
additional wagon has yet arrived, and the
conveyance of baggage and accoutrements
is effected exclusively by mules, of which
fome 1.50O or 2,000 have been hired or
purchased from the Mexicans.

ARRIVAL OF THE ARAB SANTA
ANNA'S ADMISSION AT VERA
C R U Z CONFINEMENT OF
PA REDES AT PEROTE NEW
1 ' R ON L N C I A M E N TO FOR PAR
ED ES.
The P.ritifch steamship Arab arrived off
the llalize the night of Wednesday last,
the Oili inst, having left Vera Cruz ou
the voyage from
Anna. The Gen
Jiavanna witn ianta
eneral had previously as-
turd ..r. () Ne,! that there would not be
an occasion to run the b'fn u.e tnat
. . . , .1 ...... .1.1 K . . '. 4 ., t .
the vessel would be permitted to enter
wiiliout any diliicnlty. v non the Arab
arrived off Vera Cruz, they descried the
St. Mary's and the Arab immediately bore
r.pforher. The St. Mary's sent a boat
to the Arab, with a first lieutenant on
board. Upon reaching her he encounter
ed Gen. Almonte, whom he recognized,
with whom he exchanged salutations.
Ily General Almonte the lieutenant was
conducted to Gen. Santa Anna, who was
lying in his berth quite ill. Then a short
interview took place, and when the lieut.
reappeared on deck, he gave the owners
permission to Tass the blockade.
An account received by a commercial
house represents that the suite of Santa
Anna evinced much emotion and even
alarm, when boarded, but that the general
himself was perfectly calm, and apparent
ly expected the vi.-it. Ii is further ad
ded that the General delivered a letter to
the officer who boarded the boat, which
produced the disircd eff-ct.
Recurnr.g again to Mr. O'Xcil's com
munication to us and here we beg to
acknowledge his ex'remc courtesy wz
learn when Santa Anna knded he was
received but by a few friends that the
reception was not a public one, and that it
was not marked by much enthusiasm:
Santa Anna himself was evi lcutly disap-!
pointed by the reception . given to him. '
1 1 is health continued infirm up to the
time of the departure of the Arab. He
wr.s able,bovevcr after his arrival,lo enter
tain at n public dinner at the palace in
A era Cruz, a large number of civil digni- '
taries and military officers. At the din
ner a more favorable disposition was man
ifested towards the General and there was
some appearance ofenthusiaism.
Subsequently, on hi? way to the capi
tal, be stopped at his hacienda, El Encer
ro. in the vicinity of Jalapa, where he re
mained up to the latest accounts received
from him. He would leave there for the
city of Mexico at the very earliest mo
ment his health would permit. '
That his presence in the field may be
urgently required, is manifest from anoth
er important fact w hich we learn by this
arrival. The army stationed at San Luis
Potosi has declared again in favor of
Praedes ! Paredes, by the way, is a
prisoner in the Castle of Perote, as was
rumored when the Daring left Vera Cruz.
The declaration of the army at San Luis
in favor of Paredes was generally believ
ed in the city of Mexico when Mr.
O'Neil left there, and we learn by a com
mercial letter from Vera Cruz that it was
also fully credited there.
Mr O'Neil ..represents that it is-ex
tremely difficult to arrive al any . conclu
sion t-s to the state of popular feeling in
regard to the different aspirants foT pow
er in Mexico. Among commercial men,
and in fact among all classes not immedi
ately connected with the military, the- ut
most apathy and indifference appear to
reign. "
The day the Arab left, a flag of truce
was sent ashore by Commodore Conner,
and the same occurrence had taken place
on two or three occasions previously.
We hare of course, no clue to the com
munications interchanged, but as the
Daring arrived at the mouth of the river
the day prior to the Arab's departure, it
was conjectured that the Commodore
might have received by her communica
tions which controlled his conduct. N.

Boston, September 18, 18-16.
The steamer Cambria arrived at her
wharf, in Boston, this (Friday) morning,
after a passage of 13 days and a half.
She brings 113 passengers, and amongst
them I observe the names of the Hon.
Washington Irving, our Minister to Spain:
B. Manor, bearer of despatches; and the
renowned Cruikshank, whose skill and
humor as a caricaturist, arc familiar all
over the world.
I have received your file of papers, and
make such extracts for telegraphic use as
I think will be most acceptable to your
readers, as of leading importance, in a
mercantile and general point of view.
The grain harvest in England is over,
the crop has been gathered, and it seems
to be gmerallv admitted that it will be an
average one. The late heavy storms
have somewhat impaired the bright hopes
of the early summer.
The Potato crop it is alleged, and ap
pears to be believed, is a failure in all
parts of the country, and in the prospec
tive loss of this staple of course public
attention turns with more interest to the
corn meal of the United Slates.
The Bank of England has lowered its
rate of discount to 3 per cent., an indica
tion of course, that money is still more
plentiful in London, notwithstanding the
railway demand.
Joseph Henry, the poor mono-maniac
who fired a couple of pistols at Louis
Piiiliippe, the King of France, was sen
tenced to work in the galleys for life; thus
failing to realize his declared purpose, in
the commission of the act, which was
that he might be executed, as he was
weary cf life.
The Conservative parly have elected
their President and Vice President of the
French Chambers, by a large majority.
The British Iron trade has sensibly im
proved in consequence of the passage of
the new American tariff; a fact that will
be gratifying to the American Iron trade,
as it must tend greatly to relieve any ex
cess of apprehension that may have been
thoughtlessly and foolishly engendored.
The American provision market is in a
buoyant state.
Parliament had been prorogued on the
28tli nit.
Her Driianic Majesty's ship of the line
America had arrived with six millions of
dollars in specie, collected on the West
coast of Mexico, and in Peru and Chili.
From Cape of Good Hope, on the 18th
of May, we learn that 10,000 Caffres,
who had swarmed around Port Peddie,
were dispersed by artillery and rockets,
leaving a laiye number of them on the
field, dead. The firing having frightened
the cattle which were gathered beneath
the walls of the fort for protection, they
broke loose, and four or five thousand
were captured by the Caffres. On the
18th of June, a thousand Caffres were
surprised by several parties of British,
and defended themselves gallantly, but
several hundred were galloped over and
cut down in retreat.
The Queen of Spain is to marry her
cousin, the Duke de Cadiz, the eldest son
of the Duke of Montpensier.
A treaty of commerce between Prussia
end Denmark has-been published.
There is no change to note in Tobacco.
Flour was in demand at Havre. Sales
had been made at 32f. and 33f. to arrive.
THE MARKETS.
On the first instant there was a fair de
mand for good Western Canal flour at
2fis. Cj. to 23. per barrel. The Wheat
market has been fluc'uating. It advanced
4s. per quarter on the 21th ult., and a
further rise took place. Subsequently,
the weather having changed for the belter,
and permitting the agriculturists to secure
their crops, purchasers being reluctant,
business nas dull on the 31st ult., wheat
having declined 2s. per quarter below the
rnte prevailing on that day week.
On the 1st inst, there was a fair demand
for W heat at former prices.
Indian corn was held at 27s. to 30s.
per quarter. There w;-.s much inquiry
for this article, and a firm at Limerick in
tended to send to the United Stales for a
dozen cargoes.
Cotton since the 28th has been very
animated. Large lots have been sold at
a quarter of a cent, advance on some qua
lities. The advance is fully one eighth
of a cent on all descriptions. This was
occasioned by the accounts brought thy
the Hibernia that the crop would be late.
Ex-Goxerxor Bigger Dead. We
learn from the Indiana State Journal of
the 16th inst., that S amcel Bigger, late '
Governor of that State, died at Fort
Wayne the week previous, of congestive j
fever, having been eick biit a few days.
The Tray H Works.
' The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Patriot, under date of tb.3 4th
instant, writes :
"I understand that the Collector and
Deputy Collector of the port of Baltimore
came over here yesterday, with upwards
of 610,000 in gold and silver, to make a
deposite ol the same with the Treasurer
of the United States, in conformity with
the new subtreasury law. I am inform
ed tint the day was spent by five or six
clerks and messengers in counting the
money, which work was not completed
until some time to-day. It was a labori
ous task. And the same process will
have to be gone through with, I suppose
by all the Government officers who re
ceive the public money from impost or
post-office duties, all round about here
at Richmond, Fredericksburg-, Alexandia,
Norfolk, Annapolis, Goorgetown, r rcder
iektown, Winchester, Harper's Ferry,
Sic, as well as Baltimore. A nice busi
ness of receiving and counting the clerks
and messengers of the Treasurer's office
will have, sure enough ! What else can
they do ? Who will perform their other
duties? The fact is, new officers of re
ceivers and counters will have to be forth
with created by iaw, with hansome sala
ries for such responsible stations. Oh,
this Lccofoco subtreasury is a beautiful
thing I"

Maine Election.
We give below returns from the great
er portion of the State, embracing nearly
the whole of all the Counties, except
Aroostook. They confirm the complete
rout and discomfiture of the Loco Foco
candidate for Governor, who is beaten, by
a majority against him of not less than
five thousand! In first district, 11am
mons, (Loco,) is probably elected, by a
bare majority. In the second, fourth,
fifth and sixth, now represented by Locos;
there is no choice. In the third, Hon.
Hiram Belcher is running ahead of the
Whig ticket, and is elected by a majority
of more than a thousand.
The Portland Advertiser thinks that
two Whigs are elected in Somerset, fonr
in Lincoln, and three in Kennebec. If so
with one in York, the Whigs will have
ten Senators. The Locos have probably
not elected more then seven or eight.
The political complexion of the House
will depend altogether upon the manner
in which the' vacancies are filled up at the
coming trials, which may be prolonged
through the year, even to the last day of
the session of the new Legislature. We
have returns of the election of 27 Whigs,
19 Locos, 1 Abolitionist, and 43 no
choice.

We receive this morning by the Mil

first item of intelligence from the election
in Wisconsin, and it is certainly very en
couraging. The Wiiigs have undoubted
ly elected their Register, Sheriff, Treasu
rer and one member of the Legislature in
the County of Milwaukie. On the Del
egate, savs the Gazette, the Locofoco3
probably have a majority. The result is
considered perfectly satisfactory by the
Whigs, as since the division of the Coun

licvek to be at least 500. N. Y. Courier
