IRELAND. l)r M'Cari-on, was arrest
ed in rather a strange manner; believing
himself to be uuknown and unsuspected,
he sought and obtained an order to visit
his brother-in-law, Mr Duftj, of the Nation,
at present incarcerated in Newgate ; the
officers of the prison treated him with all
civility, and he was not disturbed in his
interview, in which much treason was no
doubt talked with his relation ; but on
leaving the cell, and requesting to be
shown outside the walls, he was politely
info relied that he was prisoner.
Bergin, another American sympathiser,
has also been arrested, and is still in custo
dy. Papers are said to have been found in the
possession of these parties, which indicate
a much more careful and well provided
conspiracy than was supposed to exist, and
curious disclosures may therefore be ex
pected on their trials.
There cannot be a doubt that many icst
Iess spirits, anxious to take a part in the
projected outbreak, have lately arrived
in this peaceable country from America ;
they are, however known, and every move
ment on their part watched by a vigilant
magistracy. Two of the number, Andrew
McDade and Hugh M'Menamin, were ar
ested a few days since and committed to
jail. Derry Sentinel.
The Dublin Evening Post says : We
may state," quoth the Government jour
nal of Saturday, 44 that the American
sympathizers have vessels a few, we
should think, but certainly some freight
ed with men and munitions of war for Ire
land. The British Government were made
minutely acquainted, long before they sail
ed, with their ports of departure, the
names of the vessels, the nature of the
freight, the sympathizers on board, the
numbers and names of the captains and the
crews, all written in the United States.
All these vessels and all the men, vill be
taken if they approach our shores.'
On Saturday .night between twelve and
one o'clock, five persons, w ell dressed, but
with very little luggage, there being only
one portmanteau between them, arrived
at the Imperial Hotel, Belfast, by the steam
boat from Ardrocin, and proceeded next
morning, by the nine o clock Ulster rail
way train to Armagh, where they were
taken into custody at Hughes' Hotel,
Uharleinont Arms, whence thev were
forwarded to Dublin, in charge of a guard of
constabulary. There was no name on the
portmanteau. They appeared to be Ameri
cans, and we hav. been told that 17,000
was found in their possession. Btlfasl

THE ITALIAN JOAN of ARC. The
princess, Belgiojoso has arrived at Paris,
on something of a diplomatic mission from
the king of Sardinia. Her mission has
not as yet been very successful. It will
be remembered that this princess is the la
dy who at the very commencement of the
Italian struggle, raised a body of two hun
dred cavalry at her own expense, and at
the head of which she marched to the assis
tance of the people of Lombardy. Since
that time, she has been with the Piedmonts
ese army through all its vicissitudes, and
her regiment has participated in all the
troubles, as well as in the defeats which
that army has undergone. -The Princes
gave a most alarming and distressing ac
count of the state of Italy, and she descri

From the X. O. Picayune. Sept. 1. -. .
FROM TEXAS
By the steamship Globe, which arrived
yesterday from Galveston, we have re
ceived papers from all parts of the State.
Our dates from Galveston are to the 26th
ult. ' .
. The bark Mopaiig had arrived at Galves
ton from Vera Cruz, having left "on the
20th ult. All was quiet in Mexico. Pa
redes, the News says, was "supposed to
be at Tamaulipas, and without having it
iu his power to offer further opposition to
the Government." There is no other news.
We learn from the Austin Democrat that
an expedition is preparing to set out from
San Antonio to Chihuahua, with a view to
make a survey of the ' nearest and most
practicable route. ' The expedition is lo be
under.command of Col. J. C. Hays. All
the necessary expenses have already been
provided, for by subscription in Bexar
county. " The whole distance from San
Antonio to Chihuahua is said not much to
exceed 300 miles; and from the coast of
Texas to the same place the distance is
therefore but little over 400 miles. The
expedition is to set out about this time
(September 1st.) '
The following is from the Galveston
News of the 24th ult. :
Mr Peoples, late editor of the American
Star iri the city of Mexico, is now about
to establish a hew paper atCorpus Christi.
Thus, after beiner the indefatisable pioneer
t of the War, he returns again to the point of
its commencement to prosecute his labors
for the advancement of the arts of peace
and the improvement of his country. ;
We were pained to learn from a friend
of the termination of an affray in the town
ot Montgomery which occurred on the
day of the election for county - officers.
The names of the parties were Dr. Arnold,
an old citizen of Montgomery county; and
Mr Jones, a blacksmith, who, after 'the
passage of some sharp words between them,
determined to try something sharper stilt.
Jones accordingly drew a sword cane and
Ja ' . i " - . ui m " M '
made three different passes at the doctor,
one of which struck his watch, another
passed between his left arm and ribs, and
the third pierced his breast, but owing to
his activity it made but a slight impression.
The doctor then thought he had acted on
the defensive long enough, and drawing a
dissecting knife, he made a lunge at his
antagonist, which immediately caused him
to reel backward, and as he did so the fa
tal knife again entered hi in on the side.
He fell to rise no more. Either blow
would have been fatal. A jury was im
mediately convened to sit on the body, and
they were unanimous in their opinion, that
the doctor killed him in defence of his
own life.

stated by couriers from several of the rang

Capt. Highsmith's men on the Llano, and
many from the more north-eastern com

the Rio Grande, that there is a general
revolutionary movement goiug on iu the
eastern portion of Mexico. In the several

EXTRACTS FROM THE SPEECH OF
DANIEL WEBSTEK,
Delivered at Mar sliield, Mass., to "define
his position.'
As the speech was along one, we can only ad
mit extracts from it; but it is highly important
that certain parts of it should be read by the
people of the South, on account of the candor
with which the sentiments are expressed.
We begin our extracts with the following can
did and truthful statement in relation to Gen.
Taylor's claim to be nominated:
The nomination of a candidate, for the
presidency made, by the Whig Convention
at Philadelphia, is not satisfactory to the
whigs of Massachusetts: that is certain;
and it will be idle to attempt to conceal
the fact. It is now more just and more
patriotic to take tacts as they are, and
things as they are, and declare our own
conviction of duty from what exists be
fore us. However respectable and dis
tinguished in the line of his own profession,
or however estimable as a private citizen.
Gen. Taylor is a military man, and a mili
tary man merely. He has had no training
in civil affairs. He has performed no
functions of a civil nature under the con
stitution of his country. He has been
known, and is known, only by his brilliant
achievements at the head of an arm v. Now
thewhigs of Massachusetts, and I among
them, are of opinion that it was not wise
or discreet to go to the army for the selec
tion of a candidate for the Presidency of
the United States. It is the first instance
in our history in which any man of mere
military character has been proposed for
that high office. Gen. Washington was a
great military charat ter, but by far a great
er civil character. - He had been employed
in the councils of his country from the
earliest dawn ot the revolution he had
been in the Continental Congress he had
established a great character for civil wis
dom and judgment. After the war, as you
know, he was elected a member of that
convention which formed the constitution
of the United States ; aud it is one of the
most honorable tributes paid to him, that
by that assembly of good and wise men he
was selected to preside over their delibera
tions. And he put his name first and fore
most to the constitution under which we
live. . President Harrison was bred a sol
dier, and at different periods of his life
rendered important military services. But
President Harrison, nevertheless, was, for
a much greater period of his life, employ
ed in civil than in military service. For
twenty. years he was either Governor of
the territory, member of one or the other
houses of Congress, or minister abroad;
and discharged all these duties' to the
satisfaction of his country.
"This case, therefore, stands by itself;
without precedent or justification from any
thing in our previous history. It is on this
account, as I imagine, that the whigs of
Massachusetts feel dissatisfied with this
nomination, "l here may oe omers mere
are-others they are, perhaps, of less im
portance, and more easily to be answered."
- This is candid, and has force in it which will
not be lost on the mind of the country. A little
farther on, we have something still better :,,
" Gen. Taylor's nomination was hailed
not very extensively, but by some enthu
siastic and not, very far -seeing people in
the- Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
There were, even among us, whigs quite
early enough, in manifesting their confi
dence in this nomination a little too early,
it may. be, in uttering notes of, exultation
in our anticipated triumph.. , It would
have been better jf they had waited-; . ..
. N- the truth is, gentlemen - the
truth is, and no man can favoid , seeing it,
unless, as sometimes happens, the object
is too near our eyts to be distinctly dis
cerned the truth is, that in these' nomi
nations, and also in the nomination at
Philadelphia in these conventions, and
also in the convention at Philadelphia
Gen. Taylor was nominated exactly for
this reason ; That, believing hiiu to be a
whig, they thought he could be chosen,
more eysily than any other whig. " This is
the whole of it. Thai sagacious, u ise
far-seeing doctrine of availability, lies at the
bottom of the mutter." Tremendous en
thusiasm and applause 3
' Gentlemen, before Gen. .Taylor
nomination, I stated always, when the sub
ject was mentioned by my friends, tha,t
did not and could not recommend the nomi
nation of a military man to the people of
the United States, for the office of Presi
dent. 7 was against my conviction of
tv hat was due to the best, interests of the
country, ami to the character oj the republic
I stated always, at the same time, that if
Gen. Taylor should be nominated by the
whig convention fairly, I should not op
pose his election. I stand now upon the,,
same declaration. - ,
Gen. Taylor has ben nomin a ted fairtyr
as far as I know, and 1 cannot, therefore,
and shall not oppose his election. At the
same time, there is no man who is more
firmly of opinion THAT SUCH A NOMI
NATION WAS NOT FIT TO BE;
MADE. But the declaration that I would,
not oppose Gen. Taylor if nominated by
the whig party, was of course subject, in
the nature of things, to some exceptions.
If I believed him to be a man who would
plunge the country into farther wars, for
any purpose of ambition or conquest, I
would oppose him, let him be nominated'
by whom he might. If I believed that he
was a man who would exert his official in
fluence for the further extension of the slave
fower, i would oppose him, let htm be nomi
nated by whom he might. Bwi do not be
lieve either. Applause. I believe he
has been, from the first, opposed to the
policy of the Mexican war, as improper,
impolitic, and inexpedient. I believe,
from the best information I can obtain-
and you will take this as my opinion, gen
tlemen I believe, from the best informa
tion lean obtain, that he has no disposition,
to go to war, or to increase the limits of
slavery, or to allow of the annexation of
new States to this Union."
Mr Webster shall give ua his opinion of Gen.
Cass, very soon after this, together with his rea
sonsyr opposing him. But first let us see a
brief statement of Mr Webster's own position and
policy, and that of the whig party, in regard to
that great and capital question of the extension
over new realms of our republican system of self
government in other words, the question of oor
national growth :
"Gentlemen, I will detain you but a
moment longer. You know, perhaps, that
I gave my vote in Congress against the
treaty of peace with Mexico, because it
contained these cessions of territory, and
brought under the authority of the United
States, with a pledge of future admission
into the Union, the great, vast, and almost
unknown countries of New Mexico aud
California. In the session before the last..'
one of the southern senators (Mr Berrien
of Georgia had moved a. resolution to
the effect that the war ought not to be
continued for the purposes of conquest and
acquisition. He declared that the was
witli Mexico ought not to be prosecuted
by this government with any view to the
dismemberment of that republic, or to the
acquisition, by conquest, of any portion of
her territory. That proposition he intro
duced in the form of a resolution into Con
gress, and I believe that every whig in
Congress but one voted for it. But the
senators belonging to the locofoco or demo
cratic party voted against it. . 1 The sena
tors from New York voted against it. One
of the senators from Maine, Gen. Cass
from the free State of Michigan, Mr Fair
field from Maine, Mr Niles from Connec
ticut, and others voted against it, and the
vote was lost. That is, these gentlemen
some of them very prominent, and
friends of Mr Van Buren, and ready to take
the field for him these very gentlemen,
voted not to exclude territory that should
be obtained by conquest. They were will
ing to bring in the territory, and then have
a squabble and controversy whether it
should be slave or free territory. I was
of opinion that the true and safe policy
was to shut out the whole question, hy
getting no territory, and thereby keep off
the controversy. ' The territory will do us
no good if free ; it Will be an incumbrance
if free. To a great extent, it will pro
duce a great preponderance in favor of the
South in the Senate, even if it be free.
Let us keep it out, therefore. But no.
But gentlemen, in an important crisis
in English history, in the reign ofCharles
II, when" the country was threatened by
the accession of a prince to the throne,
who was a convert to the Roman Catholic
religion, then called the Duke of York, a
proposition was made to exclude him from
the throne. Some said that was a very
rash measure, brought forward by , very
rash men; that they had better admit him,
and then put limitations upon him chain
him downrestrict him. When the de
bate was going on, a gentleman is report
ed to have risen and expressed his senti
ments by - rather a grotesque. comparison,
but one of considerable force, t
r"t heartVaafd": he, a' lion in the lobby

door and keep him out, or let him in, and
