John Quincy Adams feilfroii hts seat on Monday in the House, under an Attack of paralysis, and was conveyed from the J laH in state of insensibility. The occurrence, of course, caused a great sensation at the Capitol, and both Houses immediately adjourned. Although he has lived to an age which is seldom attained, there arc few wbo would not, on account of hit acknowl edged virtues and great attainments, and .the fuct that he is one of the few ancient men of our coun try, desire that he should live on to seethe future destiny of Ids country, to whose service roa the xkctm. To the Governor and his Covncil : By 4he death of the lamented Jndge.DAwrcL, a vacancy hfcs occurred oti the Bench of the Supreme Court of the State, which the law has made it your duty to fill. It is natural to suppose, that one of the circuit Judges will be selected, and thereby another vacancy will be created, to be filled in like manner. Should the latter take place, as premised, 1 beg leave to suggest for your consideration, the name of the Hon. Robeet B. Gilliam, of Granville, as a nullified for the station. I have known him long, and I know him well Nature has endowed him with a strong and active mind, which has been well trained by close-applicatiou to Books, especially those, pertaining to the law ; and the result has been, to place him amone the very . .

THAT PASS. We extract from Mr. Dskr's Speech in the House of Representatives, the following truthful passage: " When hostilities broke out there was in exile from Meiico, that man who, of all the Mexicans, had the most influence over his countrymen ; a man of high talents. The first thing we heard waa that this exiled General had passed through our blocka ding squadron and been received in Mexico : that he had raised an army as if by magic, and troin mat day to this, the obstinate resistance offered by the of these became the property of an officer of the Ran- Mexicans, and most of the American blood which gers and the other of Maj. Polk, who intends to pre- 1 Had flowed, may be traced to tne presence oi oanta abroad, incredible though it was, and too monstrous sent it to the President." A most appropriate gift, truly; but the ingrate Santa Anna should have made it himself, in return for that "Pass," which Aw fritnd J as. K. Polk gave him. FROM MEXICO. By.the last accounts from Mexico the painful in telligence is received of the death of Major Edward Webstsr, of the Massachusetts Regiment of Vol unteers, and sou of the Jon. Daniel Webster." Mr. Fkeankk, bearer of the treaty and despatch es, ccc., left Mexico on the 3d of February. He says Major Wkbstkr died at St. Angel, eight miles from Mexico, the headquarters of Gen. Cnsbing's j brigade, on some day batween the 20th and 25th of document of importance, from Which consequence almost for belief, and gathered strength, thut Santa Anna entered Mexico with the knowledge and con sent of the President of the United States! It fi nally assumed the form of a direct charge, , and the very pass was published by which it was said Sauta Anna was admitted. Well, this was denied, per emptorily denied, aud the pass alleged to be a for eery ; but before long the President of the United States was obliged to acknowledge that with his connivance Santa Anna entered Mexico, and this war has been conducted on the part of the Mexicans. True, the copy first published was not an exact one ; it was signed by James K. Polk, instead of Mr. Ban croft, who it now appeared signed it by order of the President; who was now rewarded whether for that service he could not say with the mission to Great Britain. This pass was short, and being a THE WHIGS OF PHILADELPHIA TO THE DEMOCRATIC WHIGS DF THE UNITED - STATES. . The undersigned were appointed., by the'Demo cr.itic Whig Executive Committee of the City of Philadelphia, to make known to the Whigs of the United States, that it has been finally resolved that the gVeat National 'Convention for nominating the Whig candidates for President and Vice Presi dent of the United States, shall be held in this City, 4n the Seventh day of June next. It had not been for gotten that such was the decision of the Whig Mass Convention for ratification, held in Baltimore in 1844 ; and calculations had been made by the W higs of this City on enjoying the promised honor; but aware' that events might occur, which in the opinion of some. Would render it expedient to change the" de termination thus expressed, we, speaking for the Whigs of Philadelphia, were prepared to yield up, though with great reluctance, the honor which, we regarded, as a right, to what might be deemed the r quirements of the carty. It was. however, with fXjJraldinary pleasure, that the Whigs of our City (yebahjb wishes had Feett-deemed consistent with, and indeed promotive cf; the good of the great Whig party of the United States, and that the National Convention for selec ting candidates for the votes of Whigs, and of all, who are for the good of the country, will assemble, in the season of the year, and iu the place consecra ted by the venerable assemblage of Whigs, who, in 177C, declared our country an independent Nation, and fixed the principles upon which our party is founded principles which it is our duty to assert and to sustain. While such a response as this is due to the dis tinguished Whigs composing the meeting at Wash ington, by whom the time and place of the National Convention of 1848 were fixed, and for which favor the thanks of the Whigs of Philadelphia are hereby respectfully tendered to them, it IS; also ,proper to udd that the Whigs of Philadelphia, will be prepared . : CONGRESS.

The rules were suspended, by Yeas 110, Nay6 54. The previous question was called, and the call sustained by Yeas 98, Nays 85. ' At this stage of the proceedings, and at' precise ly twenty minutes after 1 o'rlock, the Hon. John Q. Adams was taken with paralysis. The merh bers crowded around his seat, and a business was suspended. Dr. Fries carried Mr. Adams out of the House in his arms. His "-appearance was pale and death-like. The House instantly adjourned.

Mr. Davis, of Massachusetts stated that, in consequence of the critical condition j in which Mr. Adams was still lying, under, the roof of the Capitol, the House of Repx-csentative had merely met and adjourned. He moved, therefore, that the Senate now adjourn, and no voice being heard in the negative, the Senate adjourned. In the House of Representatives, the Journal having been partially read, Mr. Kaufman, J. E.

" Plaindkaler," one of the Washington corres pondents of the N. Y. Courier & Enquirer, and himself a Democrat, though corresponding with a Whig paper, says : ; "There is a letter in town from Gen. Taylor, in which he reiterates his preference for Htnry Clay, and admits that in early life he had been a Jefferso nian Democrat ; but that it how would appear tj him that the Whigs of the present day were much more akin to the JetFersoniarr Democracy of those days than the Democrats or the present Democratic Administration.

The Philadelphia News states that the committee of the Whig Taylor Festival, to come off in that city on the 22d instant, has also received a letter from General Taylor, in reply to an invitation to be present on that occasion. "Its publication (says the News) at the proper time, will strengthen the bold the old General has on the Whigs of the city and county. Let it suffice for the present, that its gen eral tone will bear us out in the position we have long since taken, and maintained, as to the ortho doxy of his political faith." so momentous had flowed, he would read it to the Committee.

With th fa tal isman hanging around his neck he raised the army which caused the gullies of Buena Vista to flow with the blood of our Countrymen.

The Washington correspondent of the Louis ville Journal, a paper that has always ably and zealously advocated the claims of Mr Clav. in a recent letter to that paper says : " is as clear at the sun (hat the public mind will fix upon General Taylor as thl Whig canidalc in spite of all thai politicians may be disposed to do. IMoih. injr can avert the tide ot feeling in his favour. In8ome parts of the oountry, this feeling is an nder current not Derceived at a distance. There i-atteiJtVtahitveTyuarter t conceal or (mother the real feeling of the country, from ad miration, sympathy, and respect for Henry Clay. But even where iu the free States you find the i.ewspapers carping at Gen. Taylor's position, 1 he feeling in favour of him of which I haveepo ken has swelled a deep and wide current which it ere is no opposing or divert ine. There as else u here it is felt that defeat with Mr. Clay is certain, and that vicbrry with Gen. Taylor is hardly less so. The writing and speaking politicians may not know tins they may continue to utter with a igned earnestness the old stereotyped common places unaware of the growth and maturing of :hat public sentiment which they fancy all the time they are controlling ; but I find that even in 1 heir neighborhood the same state of public sen- timciiLexists. Most Singular Occurrence. Capt Martin Lund, a Dane by birth, who was well known in this city, left here about eighteen months ago in the tjchr. Independence, loaded with merchan dize for a Mexican port, upon a speculation. lie went to the Rio Grande, sold his cargo, and after taking on board the receipts, which amounted to three or four thousand dollars in specie, again put to sea. A norther coming on he was obliged to put into a hostile Mexican port, when his property was confiscated and his person put into close confinement. His friends hearing no news direct from him, and a rumor being in circulation that his vessel was lost with all on board,they supposed ot course that he was dead. A succession was opened in the proper court, his property sold, the succession closed, and the proceeds paid over to the supposed widow.

On tins subject, the National Intelligencer" of Tuesday last, says The conjecture and ru mors of the last three or four weeks, to which our readers will have observed that we have always attached an importance which has been generally denied to them, have ripened irito reality; aud, as we announced in a hurried Postscript to yes terday's daily paper, the project of a Treaty or Peace, signed by Mr. Tbist as commissioner on the part of the United Slates, and by three com missioners on the part of Mexico, has been re ceived by the Executive, and has been now for two days under consideration by that branch ot the Govermept. The substance of the Treaty is, as we under stand it, as follows : - First Peace between the United State and Mexico, and an Armistice between the Military Commanders of tb t mriee during such I time as the Treaty shall be in suspens. Secondly. Mexico agrees, in cousideration, &.C., that the boundary between the United Stales and Mexico shall hereafter be from the Sea up the middle of the Rio Grande to the boundary of New Mexico, and thence in a line which (with some digression) is- to run west (or nearly west to the Pacific Ocean, and strike a point south of the port of San Diego. TAtra7y.In consideration of this large ces sion of Territory the United Slates are to pay to Mexico the sum of Fifteen Millions of Dollars, and to satisfy all the just claims of citizens of the United States against the Government of Mexico. The Treaty is understood to contain many pro visions of detail ; bnt does uot, as we hear, in elude any provision, as has been reported, for the maintenance of a Military force by the United States for a certain time in Mexico. The Treaty makes its appearance in a ques tionabfe orm ; being concluded by Mr. Trist, as with fuil powers, after those powers had been withdrawn, or intended to be withdrawn, by the Executive. ;, It is understood, however, that the Treaty, soch as it is, will be submitted ; by the President to the Senate for its consideration. What will be its fate in that body we shall not un dertake to predict We can at least rejoice at one thing: that for the present there is a cess a- I tion of hostilities in Mexico. May it be perpetuall Great Expedition. rOu Friday last the $di, goods were received here, and exposed for saW in stores, which were shipped from .New York on the 12ih being only six days from New York I They arrived at Wilmington in the Schr.

Aragu. It shows, in a briet space, the wonderful immensity ot theniver8e : In the northern hemisphere, 3,400 stars are visible to the naked eye. The number of stars of ihe2d magnitude are triple, thie of the 3d, and so on to the 14th magnitude, which the most powerful instrument renders visible. The number ot stars 1st magnitude is to, ana of tlie 14tl 29 millions; and if we add to these the 12th juid 13th magnitude!, it makes 43 mil lions of stars. Herschel, 111 the knee ot Orion, a band 15 long, 2 wide, counted 50,000 stars, and as lhat band is only lhe37(ilh part ot the heavens. so the entire surface contains 68,765,000 visible. with the telescope. But our class only reach the least remote : there must be above 148,572,200, stars, and our 6un is onfy one of therr. ; the mass ol our earth is but the 355th million part of that one sun, and we are but an atom iu relation to our earth. ' si of the 1st mapjnitude, in both hemispheres are 18 : the 6ih order were ihe last visible to the ancients by the naked eye ; iu our day it is the 7th There are stars whose distance is 900 times greater than those visible to the naked eye. Li'ht, with the velocity of 77,000 leagues a second, lakos three years to reach us from the nearest stars, 900 times more' remote, so their light does uot reach us until after 2,700 years. The number of stars visible, by means of a tel escope of 20 feet focal distance, may be more than 300 millions.
