On Tuesday last, the 15th 6f December, I was call ed in the nanie of Thomas Ortiz, by Miguel Pi no, to the house of the former, in the evening, which I will verify. When I enleied, I found the following persons assembled : Don Thomas Ortiz, Don Diego Arch alette, Don Nicholas Pi no, Don Santiago Armijo, Don Manuel Chavez, Don Domingo Baca, jpon Pablo Dominguez, and Don Jiian Lopez, j jj, The consultation was to firm a conspiracy against tho actual Government. Don Dieffo Archuletto commenced I make the motion that the discourse, and said : there be an act to nomi nate a Governor and commander general, and I would nominate Don Thomas Ortiz for the first officer and Don Diegoj Archulette for the se cond. This was unanimously carried, and the act signed by each individual present. - After this was concluded, they commenced a discourse relative to the method of surprising the Government at Santa Fe and taking posses sion of the place. They decided upon the fol lowing plan : On Saturday evening, the 19th of Dec. all were to assemble with their men in tho parish church. Having divided themselves into several parties, they were to sally forth, some to seize the pieces of artillery, others to go to the quarters of the Colonel, and others to the palace ot the uovernor, (if he should be there,) and if not, to send an order to Taos to seize him, because he was the one who would give the most trouble. This act was also a greed on by all. The sound of the church bell was to be the signal for the assault for the forces concealed in the church, and those which Don Diego Archulette should have brought near the city night was the time agreed on all were to enter the plaza" at the same moment, seize the pieces of artillery and point them into the streets. The meeting now dissolved. On tho ihst I went to the house of Don Thomas Ortiz, and he and Don Diego Archu- lette told me, that on the General Taylor may, after all, become the ne gotiator with Santa Anna, at Saltillo. T j j i The same correspondent notices a leport t hat penj. Butler is shortly to be made Secretary Waf ; but the report was probably founded oh the circumstance noticed in the correspondence the N. Y. Evening Post, that 44 Gen. Duller ias ibeen requested to come to Washington, the president and Secretary of War doubtless desiring the benefit of his suggestions as to the management of the war." We also learn that Gen. Scott has made re quisitions on the War Department, which have jjeeii refused. - The correspondent of the Post, indeed, (himself a friend of the Administration,) admits the fact. He says : It ".Gen. Scott has called for all creation,' as my informant expressed it ; that is, he is repu ted to have called for much more than he sup posed would Sufficient, before starting for his comr .... November lastj and for consid erably more than he is likely to get." ii: Whilst the administration is thus denying to General Scott what he regards as necessary for the suceess and safety of the army under his command, we have rumors that orders have been sent from Washington to Gen. Taylor to push forward with ten thousand troops to San Luis Potosi ! It is also said that Gen. Taylor, tired out with the querulousness and ignorant presumption of those in 'Washington, who have assumed to regulate the movements ol the ar my three thousand miles off; has expressed his one of the repeal meetings. ueieruimiiuou io auvance upon oan luis, no Smith S Times Savs : flft5ltlr llllV cmoll ia fitrpo Ya m.r l.A .V.1a Ia : - arry with him.

His iiemorable despatch, written just before the Rattles of Palo Alto and Kesaca de la Palmai vhen the administration had pressed him on vith an inferior and illy. provided force, to en Counter a superior and entrenched Mexican force, shows in what spirit he carries out his determination. In that despatch, he announc. ed to the War Department that he was going to advance from Point Isabel, and he said, 44 if the enemy oppose my march, in whatever num bers, I shall fight him " They did oppose his march, with greatly superior numbers he did fight them, and he conquered. 1 he people have faith that he will conquer closed heavily at about te terms on Mon day, last.

Under this head, our friend of the Car olinian, of Saturday last, makes some re marks about the manner in which the Vo lunteers were treated by Lt. Fremont, in transporting them from this place to the Brazos,, which, we apprehend, must be the result of the,wantof a proper acquaintance with the facts connected with the subject. The Carolinian seems to! think that the j f Government Agent" has not performed i his duty in providing proper accommoda-! jtibn for the North Carolina troops, when, i in fact, we venture to assert that at no; jplace has there been more attention paid ! to this very point than here. The Caro j linian speaks of the smallness of the ves- sels employed. Does our friend know that j the vessels employed are the very largest and best, in all respects, which ever visit our port? Does he know that a larger class of vessels cannot get over our bar ? With regard. to the ' packing," we would merely observe that the births were fitted before they nn as thfv arp. in all transnorts for regular had concluded to suspend the assault, and a- I iPnnnG. in,m iViv r mnrt- rnnmv and gresd to fix;on Saturday, the 20th of December,; ! comlbrtable thanin most of the transports for which Reason I was called ; and they told Cmnloved by the Government.

The number of inquiries daily at his hotel is great, and it is said a servant from the place is amongst the number. The Irish poor are emigrating in great numbers, chiefly to the U. States.

Freight for steerage passengers has risen to 4 guineas. Landlords are aiding their peasantry to emigrate. Mr. Rl S. Guinness, of Duplin, has issued an addfess to his poorer tenantry in the country of Wexford, offering 3 to each person in a family, provided the whole go tegether, and also l for each individual, the latter sum to be paid on arrival in New York, Quebec, or any other Ameri can port that may; be fixed upon the purpose of transporting to the famish ing poor of Ireland and Scotland such con tributions as may be made for their relief; and that the said Secretary be also author ized to place at the disposal of Captain Robert 13. Forbes, of Boston, the United States sloop of war Jamestown for the like purpose ; or, if the Secretary shall be of opinion that the public interest will be better subserved thereby,' he is authorized to despatch said vessels Upon the service aforesaid as public ships. MR. CLAY AS PEACE jMINISTER TO MEXICO; We are authorized to ay that the ap pointment of the Hon. Henry Clay, as Min ister to Mexico, would meet the appro bation of many sincere ji friends of that eminent citizen, as well as the concurrence of good friends of the administration in, this city. JV. Y. Sun. li - The Philadelphia U. S Gazette copies the above and adds, ji No doubt of the authority-no doubt of the concurrence. But Mr. Clay will not be appointed. The var with Mexi co, badly as it has been'rhanaged, has not brought on this countrymuch distress ; and those who are sent to make peace, must have as profitable . . Clay ted. It is deeper national distress, more national alarm, and closer evil, that would make the Government send for such a man.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION. Bradford Springs, S. C, March' 15, 1847. i Mr. Editor. To prevent the publica tion of any incorrect statement concern ing the attempted assassination of the Rev. Dr. Dubose, I send you the following, up- j on the correctness of which you may rely. Respectfully Yours, ISAAC AULD. At 12 o'clock on Wednesday, 10th inst., Mr. J. A. Backhouse, ajBaptist Minister, formerly principal of tho Darlington Male Academy, called at the Bradford Springs, and, not finding the Rev;. Mr. DuBose at the dwelling house, walked towards the building used as a temporary school room, taking his horse with jjiim : oh his way thither he was met byjiMr. DuBose and myself, and returned in: company with us. Mr. DuBose received him kindly, and ta king his horse led him towards the house, , where we found Mr. ;John Nettles and Col. Wm. Nettles. After a few minutes conversation. Mr. DuBose propossd to Col. , Nettles to walk out wjth him and look at some of his stock. Daring their walk a I bout the premises, Mi DuBose and Col. Nettles while passing the stable observed Mr. Backhouse within.-wherc he had plac ed himself as he afterwiards acknowledg Rio Grande, and that this title I nexation became vested in the Now it is admitted on all ha:s!s t!.-.: never had any possession on the .' that river, that he never reduce J ; : it: to subjection, or established 1. r I . any part of it ; but that the occuah . co, and the jurisdiction of herliws part of it, continued unbroken till i of General Taylor from Corpus-CL:' with an armed force expelled the Me thorities from Point Isabel, and took j of the left bank of the rite r; against l! of the Mexican authorhie,. which i that time maintained possession and j j: ; -over it. " t ..,; Now, sir, I lay it down as a clear at 1 ; putable proposition, that to 'dispose t, ' armed force, a nation, or territory I claimed by her, is of itself an act c f act of war, justifiable if the territory rightfully belongs to the pi rly. seizing justifiable, if it rightfully Le longs to t from whom it is taken; but, in either c plain act ol war. How can? this be. C If such an act is not an act of war, by scription shall we define an act cf v. r marching an army into territory pe' : claimed by a sovereign Slate, and by re possessing that State, is not in act cf w'.ir, ia, what can be such an act Yet tl.s i actly what the President of the-United . did. He. claimed the left bank of t!

But being done by tae PrcfiJ :i.t out the authority of that power, he lher(i!y menced a war, was guilty ofan unconiii: al usurpation of authority, and for all it's c quences he is justly responsible. 1 Mr. President, if any member doubts' t: redness of position I have 'acsumcd---if not ready at once to admit, that tho sen ; General Taylor to dispossess Mexico disputed territory was an act cf war-j-I be able to remove every doibf by an ai' directly iu point, and entitled to the deference and submission. iThe Pre...! the Uuited States seems to bavccousul'r cedents by which to support hi the three millions proposed to e giveti 1 bill on your table.
