JAMES K. POLK.
Wasntsalys, March. 23, 1647.
To the 'instructions of the President; contained
in'thelabove letter, the Secretary of the Treasury,
# 09 :1 1 J. WAtArtn, replied on the 30th ult. His
reply is too long for publication in this morning's
paper,.arul we must therefore content ourselves by
gimng a brief abstract:
• "
• • -3t is certain - that a mild , and for
hearingsystem of warfare, collecting no duties in
their ports in onr possession on the Gulf,.and levy
ing nd .-iontributiens, whilst oar armies purchase
supplies from them at high prices, by rendering
the war a bentfi.t to the people of Mexico rather
Jhart,ari 'injury * has not hastened the conclusion of
a peace. It maybe, however, that specific duties,
Onerous as they are, and heavy contributions, ac
,companied by a vigorous prosecution of the war,
may more .diB iuture that peace which we
have failed to Obtain from magnanimous forbear
ance., froin brilliant victories,or from proffered ne
gotiation. The duties, however, whilst they may
be specific, and therefore more onerous than ad
Tarorern duties, should not be so high as to defeat
revenue.
MEI
The Secretary then goes on to say that it would
- ,
be impossible to adopt the Mexican tariff, an ac
count of its extravagant high duties, which would
prohibit some sixty articles, mostly the necessa
ties•of life. filler referring to the actual duties
imposed hy Mexico, the Secretary adds:
la, order to realize from this system the largest
amount of revenue; it would be necessary that our
army .and navy should seize every important port
itia-place'up q n the Gulf of Mexico, or California,
cr the Pac.rfic,
and open the Way, through the in
, terror for the..free transit, of imports and exports,
and especially that the interior passage through
the Mexican, isthmus should be 'secured from
ocean to'ceeart for the benefit of our commerce,
and thet-of alt the world. This measure, whilst
it would greatly increase our revenue from these
duties; end facilitate" communication between our
foteeii nricrii the eastent.and western coast of Mex
ico, Would probably lead, at the conclusion of "a
peace, to results of incalculable impoitasce : to our
oirri,..connzierce and to that of all the world.
r -0 • • • The whole money collected
ivould inure to tbe benefit of our own government
and people, to sustain the war, and to prevent, to
that extritit,'new loans and increased taxation: In ;
deed, in view of the fact -that - the government is
thrmen upon the ordinary revenues for peace, with ;
no tither additinnal,resources hut !pans to carry
on the war, income to - be derived , from.the new
system, %which; it ie believed, will be large, if these
euggestions.are adopted, would bc highly
tent to sustain the credit -of the government, to
prevent the embarrassment of the treasury, and to
safe the country from 'such ruinous sacrifices as
Pcgdni'd during Abe last year, , including the inevi
table legacy to posterity of - a large debt and oner

FELON GENERAL 'PAYLOWS CAMP.

HEABIttrAIRTSAIS Aim: OF OccopailoN,
Camp ou the field of battle, Buena Vista,
Mexico, February 24,1947.
SIR: I hale the honor to report' thet, haVing
become as s ured on the 20th inst., that the enemy
had assembled in very heavy force at F-nearnaccon,
thirty miles in front of Ague Nueva, with the evi
dent design of attacking my position, I' broke up
my camp at the latter place on the 21st - , and took
up a strong-line in front of Buena Vista, seven
Milessonth of Setif°. A 'cavalry force left at
Agua Nuevix for the purpose of covering the re
moval of supplies was driven in during the night,
and on the morning of the 22d the Mexican army
appeared immediately in front of our position.. At
11 o clock, A. 54., Ilag was sent, bearing from
General Santa Anna a summons of uneonditional
surrender.. To which I immediately . ' returned a
negative reply:. The summons and my reply are
herewith inclosed. The action was commenced
late in the afternoon between the light troops; on
the left tank, but was not seriously enticed until
the morning of the 23d, when the enemy made an ,
effort to force the left flank of our position. An
obstinate-and sanguinary conflict was -Maintained,
With short intervals, throughout the day, the re
shlt being that the enemy was completely regulsed
(Porn Our lines. An attack of cavalry upon the
rancho of Buena Vista and a demonstration upon
the city of Saltillo itself were likewlse handsome
lyrepelled. Early in the night the enemy with
drew from his camp and felt back upon Ague Nue
va, a distance of twelve miles.
Our own knee engaged at all pointi in this ac-. 1
tion fell 'somewhat short of 5,400 men, while that
of the enemy, from the statement of General
Santa Aiwa, may be , estimated at 20,000. Odr
success Against such great odds is a sniScient en
comium on the good conduct of our troops. In a
more detailed official report, I shall have the sa-.
tisfaction ot bringing to the notice of' the govern-1
merit the conspicuous gallantry of particular offi
cers and corps. I may be permitted here, how.'
ever, to ackuowlepge mpgreat obligations to Brig.
Gen. Wool, the second in commarsh ;to whom I.
feel particularly indebted for his valuable services
on this occasion.
Our loss has been very severe. and will not pro.
bably fall' short of 700 men. The 31exican teas
has been immense. I shall take the . earliest op
portunity of. forwarding, a correct list the casu
alties of ; the day.

hold the pirsitions !Which they hive so well de

should he venture another attack.
An arrangement has hien made Nrith General

well, as those of the Mexicans which have fallen
into our handiJiave been removed to this place,
and are'rendered comfortable.
Our loss in the recent actions '

Agua Nueva, March; 1, 1847.
Sin: I have the honor to report that the troops
of my command occupied their Original camp at
this place on the 27th of February, the last of the
Mexican army leavin g the morning of that day, in
the direction of San Luis. It is ascertained that
the enemy is in full retreat, and, in a very disor
ganized condition i the men deserting and dying
of starvation in great numbers. I despatch a corn.
mand this day, u far as Encasnacion to_harms his
rear and secure whatever military supplies may
be found there.
From the statements of Mexican officers, par
ticularly .of the medical staff left to succor the
wounded, there seems no doubt that their loss in
the recent act ion' is moderately estimated at 1;500,
and may reach 2,000 men, killed; and wounded ;
besides 2,00 D or, 3,000 deserters. Many officers of
rank were lost. I enclose I
a list d the namesof
onr own killed and wounded, made as complete , u
practicable at this time. One regiment (Kentucky
Cavalry) is not included, its return not being reit
:
dered. -
The enemy had fully reckoned upon our total
rouf, arid had made arrangernent to intercept our
retreat, and cut off the army, stationing forthat
purpose, corps of cavalry,, not only, immediately
in our rear, but even below Monterey. I regret
to, report that they succeeded near the village Of
Mann in destroying a train of supplies, and lcitl
ing a considerable number of theascort and team
sters. Colonel Morgan, 2d Ohio regiment, on hits
march from Cerralvo to Monterey, was infested by
thellfexican cavalry, with which be had several

T KILLED ADM WQIF i rDIC,p.
Union ptiblishes an official list of the Ail
cels and'Privates who were killed and wounded at
the greatbattle of Buena Vista, which occupies' '
two columns of that paper. The number is not
so great as was first supposed, although some of
the'best and bravest of the army have bled and
died for their country.
The Union published a letter from Corn. Coif-
Kra, Commander of the Gulf Squadron, giving a
detailed statement of the landing of our gallant
boys at Vera Cruz. It .was truly a brillaiut affair
—well planned and successfully executed.
From another source we learn that the number I
who landed at Vera Cruz amounted to 12,000
men, noble fellows, who are eagel for the fight.---
The Mexican force at the Castle and Vera Cruz.
only numbers 4,500, and they bad only provisions
enough to last fur a few days. There was a con
tinned fire from the Castle while the Americans
n'
ere landing,
several on our' side were killed,
among the number Capt. Azsuazfs, editor of : the
Martinsburgh (Vs.) paper. The city was com
pletely surrounded, and a severe engagement has
no doubt taken place before this.
SANTA ANNA'S RETREAT.
We learn that Santa Anna, with 250 men, was
the first to retreat from the' Well-directed fire of
ofd „ Rough and Ready." A letter published in
the Union, dated Saidllo, March i, states that
"Santa Anna has„gene for goi!st, and that his
whole infantry have dispersed. Them it no doubt
of it. We sball
,not see him again on this line.
"To l day. Colonel Warren 'received a &splotch
informing hint that American tonatniasioneri were
now in the city of MexiEo, and bad written .to the
Mexican Congress, saying that they were theri-to
italic an honorable peace."

The Washington Union thus sums up the recent

Washingtou, D. C
General Can.—Our city yesterday - was honored
by the presence of this noted individual. We went
to get a look at him, with the same curiosity that
would have drawn us to gain a sight of Benedict
dlrtnold. WE hardly know how to express our lit
ter disgust of this politician. A man of somewhat
more than ordinary abilities—of manners calcula
ted to please—an orator, fluent and brilliant, if
not profound; he has -attained posts of honor that
would satisfy most men. ' 'yet he stands before the
world an example of political selfishness and cor
rupt ambition.
We copy this paragraph for the purposecif show.

played towards an eminent Democrat and pure

An exhibition of extraordinary interest to hemani.!
ty occurred at the Massachusetts General Hospital 1
on Saturday, 27 h ult., says the Surgical Journal..
A patient was present—a man in advanced life— I
who, we understand, was laboring under parapie.!
gin, having its origin in a caries of the lower dor- '
set vertebra—for which Dr. Warren proposed the
actual cautery. After the patient had inhaled the
letheon, Dr. W, run an iron . rod, heated to a white
heat, to the length of about tvr! feet, up and down
the back, each side of the spine—burning two lines
on one aide, and one on the other, and' hen carried
it zigzag across, between the spinous processes; the
same distance. The patient during this process
was wholly unecinscions.of pain, under the sever
, est test to whiCh he could be subjected—,that of a
hot iron applied.to the skin.

4 , The Ten Hour FaCtoryla ' bor Bill"- hai' been
debated in the House of Cinntribes„ anti with sue
teas to its promoters. This Measure iidticei the'
labor of young men under 'eighteen 'years 'of. - rigii; l
and all female adults,yto ten hours •per itaq,, :Dr.
*l:lover:ins thus-calculates the lois that will accrue
from this restriction of labor. ... , The present sal,
ue of the cotiori:manufacture exceeded'3o millions
sterling; the uumber of bale:s of raw cotton was
about lf nrillioni,,representing a SUM of fiom 12
to 15 millions sterling. To this about 15 millions
more must be ailded_in the shape'of labor expend.
ed upon the. raw material, so that the total value
eras, as he said, about 30 millions,sterling. The
loss from the diminution of production would be
train £1,800,000 to .C-4,000,000." . Mr. Bright took
the same view of the gubject, and, said that hi the
cotton trade there 'were consumed last year more
than 000 millions of pounds of ray, material. In
ths woolen -and;wsrsted tradesi, 200,000,000 lbs.
tlax trade inore than 177,000,000 lbs.; and
in the silktrade More than six Millions of - pounds
weight, making in all 1,057,000.000- lbs. NoW if
this were 30 be divided by six, the diniiiintion that
was calculated to follow the passing of the ten
hour*, bill, 'it Would give a reduction of , rio less
than 470,000,000 lbs. 1n , 18.14 the: amount of ex.
ports in cotton was .V20,000,000—0f 'woolens „CIX

—from which, if one-sixth were to be taken otl; it
would `reduce the exports at one blow' by it sum of

It was• a curious circumstance to see the_pecu
liar position- of the government on this. question.
The Premier, Lord. Joint Russell .spoke in favor of
the bill—the _Horne Secretary, Sir-Geurge Grey,
did the same; hot the great-finauce minister =a!'
