'L.7TER FROM THE ?RMY.
Correspondence of the Picayune.
7i. Buritia, Mexico, May 17 1816.
To the Edlun f the Picayune.
Here we are, within the vice royality
of Mexico, at a beautiful little village
on the tight bank of the Rio Bravo, S
miles from themouih. Old Zack, God
b'ess lum! has, through us, on this day,
planted hi fool on this side of the river
You mty bs assured it will not be with--drawn
until all tho indini ier offered our
beloved country are amply and folly a-
toned for.
This detachment, consisting of five
companies of the first infantry and four
companies of volunteers, with one piece
of artillery, is uoder command of Ll
Col. Wilson, of the reeular army. The
expedition up this river was origi
rial v ril.n.ied bv the General and
Conjodore, to be a combined movement
of the iwo services. .Same delay ari
sing from rough weather, the military
part of the expedition started alone, this
morning, and after marching some ten
miles; found themselves at this village,
which is situated n the first high and
c'ry land above the mouth of the river
a beautiful ridge with a fine blufl escarp
ment. There being an engineer along
it is thought that some fortification will
be plnnned,and that we shall be initiated
into the art and mystery of throwing
dirt out of a ditch. The gallant litt'e ar
ny which we have to emluate, dug
ditches and threw up entrenchments for
a whole monlh. The river is serpen
tine in its course, and about ten feet in
depth.

movement in the won is announced in the
St Louis Republican, of lai Friday, in a
letier written by a member of the U. S
Sennte, 'in the confidence of the ad nin'iHlra-
tinn,' and addressed lo Col. II. Campbell
,id to ihe Governor of Missouri. The lot
tcr was written on the day after war be
iween the United Ststes and Mexico wa
declared, and lrom it wo lake the subjoined
extract. Santa Fe is on the east of the Uio
Grande, and alorge trade is carried on be
tween its inhabitants and those of the U.
States.
'Our first care in this sudden change ir
our relations with that country was lo try
and lake care of our Santa Fe trade. For
this purpose it will be proposed to the peo
pleof.ewMaxico,Chihuahua,and the other
internal provinces, lhat they ramain quiet
and continue trading with ns as usual, upon
which condition they shall be protected in
all the rights and be treated as friends. To
give effect to his proposition and lo make
sure at all events of protection lo the per
sons and property of oui traders, beside;
the proclamation of the 'resident to thai

lowed as quick is possible by one thousand
mounted volunteers from Missouri, ami
with authority to engage the services, if ne
cessary, of all the Americans in that part of
the world. This military movement wi
he lo make sure of the main object, to wit
p?ace and trade, lo be secured pencrally it
possible, forcibly if necessary. For unless
ihey accept those conditions, he country
will have to ba taken possession of as
conquest. This, however, we hope w
not bo necesary, as it will be so obviously
to the inteiest of the inhabitants of lhat purl
of Mexico, (mo far off from the eeuiral gov
jrment to have effect in general hostilities)
to enjoy the benefits of peace and tiade
with the full protection of all Iheir rights o
person, property and religion.'

The Republican says lhat a gentleman, un
erslood to be the bearer of important de-
qpniehej from ihe government to the Gov

The resolutions authorizing tho Fresi J

nidation of tlio Oregon Convention of 1827
ave now as we -announced yesierday, re-
eived the sanction of the Senate by a ma-
iarity of 40 lo 11 voles. Nine weeks of
ontintious debao may be supposed lo have
exlnuslsd ihe most sturdy .powers of Par
liamentary endurance, and, from Ihs Sena-
tors of Massachusetts to tha newly arrived
representatives of ihe Stale of Texas, not a
member of ihe sedate assembly seems to
have let this important topic pass in silence.
'he doubts and difficulties which are com
monly confined to a Cabinet on questions
of this nature have here been extended lo a
species of popular assembly, and aggrava-

questions and the impatience with which
we desired thai ibis preliminary step should
be taken, in order lhat the definitive nego

not be doubted thai the solemn act of the
Amirican tiovernment which is about lo
assign a term to one of the most important
territorial conventions existing between
Great Biitain and ihe United Slates, musl
he considerable, and may become a mo,
mentous event. In America the debates on
this subject have almost exclusively mo
nopolized the time of the Legislature and
ihe attention of tho publi: since the com
mencement of the session of Congress. Li
ibis country Parliament and tha nation have
been content to wait the course of events,
nd lo leave untouched by premature con
troversy one of the most important functions
of the Executive Government, and one ol
i fie highest prerogatives of the Ciotvn. But
it spile of the excessive discussion to which
ihu Oregon territory has given riso on the
other side of the Atlantic, a-id tho extienie
reserve whidi has hitherto been maintained
on this, there is at bottom the same deep
and earnest hope in both countries that this
question will bo amicably deltlod, and we
trust there is :in equal resolution in ihe gov
ernments of both countries lo make every
exertion, consistent with their true inter
ests end honor lo terminate tha coniro-
vcrsv.
It is in that spirit wc are willing to re
ceive ihp r.oiice for tho termination of the
existing convention. In this npirii and with
an express recommendation lo lhat effect
ihe resolutions have been framed and ear
ned through in boih houses of Congress
mi! in the same spirit we do not doubt thai
the negotiation aill be forthwith renewed
The alternative is now distinctly indicated
The utmost term to which tho peace of the
woild ran bo prolonged is one IwelTemonil
