of the Gulf squadron, and orids gbllsdt eie;
entire officer, Captain 'Thomas Turner. You will,
of amuse, have published the charaotenstio die
patches of the letter, detailing the whole of the
affair of the third of March. From these it
would appear, not only that Captain Turner wee
right, but that the provocation was given by the
Corsairs themselves, ind the fate which hotel
them was justly deserved. lie speaks with much
warmth of the conduct of all his officers and men
I in this engagement.'
I have always believed, and still believe, that
the Mexican policy of the present Administration,
sines the appointment of the Hon.-Robert M. 'Mc-
Lane as our Minister, has been, unlike most of
its other meaeures, extremely politic and wise.
It was, indeed, the only way left to hasten the so
lution of the problem. We had to select some
power with which to treat, and in selecting the
Constitutional Juarez party, we at the same time
paid a tribute to our own liberal example and
strengthened the Goiernment we recognised. It
will not be long before the ratification of the treaty
pending before the Senate takes place. Mr.
McLane ought, to be in Vera Onus by this time,
treating with the Mexican Government,. He will,
of course, communicate at Ms first leisure ; with the
President, and upon his information and counsel
4111 depend the question whether we: are to have
peioe or war with the Miramon party.' .
I wrote you the otheiday in regard to the else
of Sam's wife, who was to be 'sent off to Georgia in
the ev ent of the failure of Sam and his friends to
' raise' POO before the first of April. It gives me
great utisfaction to say. that the whole amount
was subscribed and paid in yesterday. In looking
over the Ihit of those who assisted to reams this
poor woman from a doom almost equal to that of
death, I was not surprised to see the "rebels" put
ting down the largest amounts. This practical
sympathy for the poor slave goes much further
thin empty declamation and furious abuse.
Henry C. Carey, of Philadelphia, is on the
ground, assisting with all his energies in the pas
sage of the tariff bill.
I met in the gallery of the House on Friday last
your enterprising townsman Joseph Harrison, Esq.,
hie lady and daughter, who are on their way to
Columbia, South Carolina, where they intend to
remain for a month on account of the health of
Mrs. H,
I was delighted to meet that rare genius, Dr.
William Elder of Philadelphia, on the Avenue
last evening. I believe his object here, like that
of Mr. Carey, is to invoke the aid of Congress for
the suffering interests of Pennsylvania. Elder is
one of the real eelebrities,of your State. Although
well known for his former extreme opinione,,he has
never been the blind follower of any party, and t
we not at all astonished to find that he now favors
atiservathan rather than Abolitionism. If he eared
to devote himself to any study or to any profession, he
mild not fail to become the master of it, Whether
we regard him as lawyer, physician, journalist, or
philanthropist, ho is in all a first.olass mind. His
social qualities are as reniarkible as his Intense-
Mal gifts sremumerons. He speaks with immense
power and eloquence, and writes with equal faci
lity and force ; added to all this is his high personal
character and his elevated tone. Is it not extra
ordinary that such a man should have oared so
little for °floe, while taking the deepest interest in
?Attics, as to have preferred I private station ? He
can do a vast deal for the interests of Pennsylva
nia, and Will do so from the purest and moat disin
terested motives.
It is generally admitted that no newspaper in
1 the country Le conducted with mash an utter disre
gard of the eourtesies of life as the, Washington
Constitution. lion need not be reminded that
this is the peculiar family organ of President
Buchanan, the same who complains of having been
abused by his political opponents, and who, in order
to relieve himself from the results oft proper inquiry'
into his official conduct, whines about the dignity of

should be the last to encourage his organ in at

thumehamathi epithets are coined by the vulgar
English Wahines& imported here to assail fear

clear that he does this filthy work by command
of the President. James Buchanan should moot

that he was in negotiation for the purchase of an
estate near Washington, with the intention of re

that, whether he designs purchasing or not, be has

his determination never to go bask to Pennsylva

where he has heretofore made his home. it is an
old habit of his, when hegets out of humor with
Lancaster to say that he will leave it, never to re
turn again. He said this when he was In Mr.
Pelk's Cabinet, and it is his familiar practice now
to denounce his old friends, and to declare hie de

again. lam surprised that he should have deemed
it important enough to correct 'that which every
member of his household and of his Cabinet knows
'to be true. It is likely enough that he will not
keep his word. Be Is so fond of breaking it, that
what he says to-day he forgets to-morrow, or vio
lates the day after to-morrow. All I meant to as

to him, to deliver a speech declaring that he post
pones his ateeptance for the present, adding that
negotiations have been opened for the purpose of
reconciling those wishes with a rospeot for the
rights of the Holy See. Unfortunately, these ne
gotiations will only postpone the oriels for a fow
days. The annexation of Central Italy to Pied
mont is everywhere accepted with the greatest en- '
tbusitunn. Thisgreat event will be celebrated in
Turin by fetes of - all kinds. At the end of a week
the King will start on a tour in the Province,

Letters from Rome say that the agitation is so

In response to the report of the Home Com

ptinoiple that the acceptance or rejection of a peti

the discretion of Congress at the time of snob ap
plication, Mr. Clark, of Missouri, of the minority

The Constitution of karma was not formed and
presented to Congress In accordance with the law,

thereof; that it does not appear that there is
within her limits a sufficient population, ae re-•

area embraces the Cherokee Indian Territory.

Our lettere and papers, by the sishooner;Virginia
'Mitelimit', Captain Bbisa, from Vera Orua the,
evening of the 15th, came to hand this morning.
-They inchildetillitt end official report of the' truce
monforance before the besieged city on the 14th,
- the unfortunate result of which, in 'the renewal of
hostilities and bombardment of tho city, hu already
bfilinMatel From this we 'learn that the repre
"Bentativea of the - two parties did in fact agree
upon the terms of the armistice, but they were
disapproved by the Constitutional Government,
the principal of two of the commissioners. Whe
ther they would have been appoved byl Miramon,
the principal of the two other commisoioners, we
are not Wormed. •
The ground of the refold of the Juarez Govern •
moot to ratify the terms of the agreement was, that
it did not offer sufficient guarantee of the final
adoption of the principles of the Constitution of
1857, as the basis of an arrangement, which wars
with them a mice qua non. The armistice would,
therefore, have coma to nothing in any ease. The
Government, moreover, felt confident of their abili
ty to make good the defence of the city, and so,
treating to fortune and their own good arms, they
prepared to let the besiegers do their beet.
Of what followed, our attentive correspondent,
himself an oye-wituess, will give the reader far
the boot account.
We have only to add, us the very latest, that
when far eat to sea, late in the evening, Captain
Sbiea still heard the oanonadiug from the city.
Of the probable result of the bombardment, we
can, of course, form no eatisfactory opinion. We
may remark, however, that the officers now In our
city, in command of the Preble, Miramon, and
Habana, all direct from the Boone of aotion, are
nearly unanimous in the opinion that the city will
maim good its defence.

VSRA Cant, March 15, 1850.
As promised in niy letter of yesterday, 1 write
you by the Virginia Antoinette.
The belligerent parties have had three several
meetings, and, as I informed you that the Libe
rals would not yield up a single point touching
their principles or reforms, they could not
come ,to an agreement. the last meeting was
brought to a close late last evening, and this
morning at early dawn the firing against the bat
teries of Miramon was resumed in good earnest,
and the enemy commenced returning the same,
but so far to no effect, as some of the balls fly over
us and some far short of the distance. The enemy
nro at work with six guns, while the Liberals are
using against them some 18 to 25-68 and SO
pounders—and two small mortars.
The position which I occupy is on the "azoteo"
of ono of the highest houses of the city, whore I
can see everything, and it appears to me that the
enemy cannot hold out long, as the effect from this
side mutt be terrible, and I think already two of
the pieces of the enemy have been dismounted.
There is a sharp and constant firing kept up, but I
think it cannot last long.
GOOD 8110 T—NARROW ESCAPE.
5' o'cLocK A. 3f.—A few minutes einee 1 left the
" azoteo," or roof of the house, and as i was pass
log into the street, a ball front the enemy passed
through the walls of the opposite house, making a
terrible scattering of broken brick and stone; one
of which struck me on the knee, bruising it and
drawing a little blood. So mach for being in the
heroic city of Vera Oros under bombardmeut, but
it has aroused the mettle, and I feel like returning
the compliment. Could Atiramon, however, just at
this moment, designate us few Americana in the
city, we would be the first to receive the marks of
his vengeance, on Recount of the affair of Marin a
few days ago.
BURSTING OF SHELLS IN THE PALACE.
Tax O'CLOCK A. AL—The enemy are now throw
ing fourteen-inch bombs, two of which burst in the
Palace, also one burst above the house of Labadie
Co. while we were at breakfast, but none of us
were injured ; at this moment, also, a bomb burst
in tho house of the French oonal. [Up to the
present time, no lives lost, but a few are slightly
wounded with brickbats from the bursting of
bombe.
A Spanish steamship of war has jolt arrived. I
hope ere this our Government have taken steps to
reinforce our squadron, for as long as this civil war
lasts there is no safety for Amerman subjects in

'lle Brownsville Flag, in apeetseript dated Sun
dig, March 18, givds the following account of the
oressieg of the Americana into Mexico, to fight by
mistake, Ac., ete.:
When our edition was about half worked off yea
teiday, a courier arrived from Capt. Ford's ramp
on the Ague Negro, stating that the Ranger force
under Capt. Ford and Lieut. Pugh, with the two
companies of United States Cavalry under Capt.
nd Lieut. Kimmel, had crossed tho Rio
Rancho de la Mesa7.7.l=‘'''' ke "B .o tins at •
of, the last action at Boise, and that nag had been
heard in that direction before day, from our bag
gage camp on this side. We immediately stopped
the press to await further iaterinatiou, and are
now able to give, the particulars.
Ua the night of the Pith the officers in com
mand of the American forces, having previously
received official information from tile officer in
command at Matamoros, that Cortina was at the
Much° do la Mesa with a considerable force,
crossed over, and marched towards that rancho,
having previously procured a.guidle from the Meet
can side of the river. Their intention was to
lea' e their horses in the chaparral and surround
the rancho on foot, pleb wait till daylight to make
the attack. When hey had arrived within half a
tulle of the rancho they surprised a picket guard,
who immediately gave the alarm.
The guide assuring them that they were at Cor
tina's encampment, an attack was at once made
upon it from three sides, the back being covered
by a dense chaparral. Several shots were ex
.:tinged, anti two persons wounded—one a Mexi
can soldier, the other a woman,
who was trying to
shut the door out of which a Mexican officer was
shooting at our cavalry—before it was discovered
that the surprise party claimed to be MexicaziNa
tional °earth, upon which the thing immediately
ceased.
When our hoops were at breakfast, very near
the rancho ' a body of about one hundred and fifty
Mexicans, horse and foot, made their appearanoe
and desired a conference, which being granted,
they stated that they were Mexican National
Guards, and in search of Cortina, but could give no
intormation respecting his whereabouts, and that
the party surprised was a part of their own force,
guarding their baggage, and concluded by asking
oar officers to take no further action in the matter
till they could communicate with the authorities of
Matamoros, which our forces did not seem inclined
to do, replying that they were pursuing Cortina,a rid
should adopt such measures to take him as circum
stances might seem to require.
It was subsequently learned that those National
Guards had been watching our forces during the
previous day and night, and the conviction that
they were only prevented front attacking our troops
through fear Is very strong.
Although they denied all knowledge ot Cortina's
whereabouts, the women and a boy at the rancho
assort that he was there when the alarm was given,
and our officers are convinced that their statement.'
are true, and believe that he escaped when the
ahem was first given.
Our forces aro encamped on the other side, about
thirty.fho miles above this oily, and intend to re
main' in Mexico till they take Cortina, or are or
dered back.
Major Reinteleman, with his usual promptness,
has despatched a company of artillery with a long
twelve and a twenty-four pound howitzer to that
vicinity, to be in readiness should their services be
required.
The statements of the - Mexicans agree in the
main with those of our own forces. They state that
they were ordered to co-operate with the dined
eanr, and were In pursuit of Cortina, bat that our
troops, by taking a different road, unfortunately
fell in with their, baggage guard.
From the Information betore us, it seems that
our forces found a party of armed ' inen, and had a
short conillot with them at the place where the
Mexican authorities had Informed them they would
find Cortina. It also appears that the main body
of the National Guard claimed to be upon the
same errand, and how it happened that a portion
of their men having their baggage in charge,
should be found in the very place both parties
were designing to attuok, is a mystery.
We aro informed, however, that acme of the offi
cers of the Mexican National Guard are intimate
with Cortina, and frequently pay friendly visits to
his camp. It would nut be surprising if this should
be ascertained to be the ease in this-instance.
Although we have every reason to bolters that
the Government 'of Tamaulipas Is anxious to be
rid of Cortina, we have no idea that they can com
pel the soldiery to fight him.l
A Novs anon (lax. Mutaxost.--We learn by a
gentleman direst from Vera Cruz, by the Virginia
Antoinette, that on the 14th, Capt. Jarvis, of the
U. 8. sloop-of• war Savannah, received a note from
Gen. Illiramon in reference to the capture of the
Marin expedition. Tho note wee first wont
