VOTE OF NEW YORK
The New York Exjirew publishes a utle, show
ing the vote on the Congressional ticket in each
District of the State, by which a Whig majority of
20,000 is claimed in the popular rote, on national
questions.
.. . ORngS TO GEN. TAYLOR.
- From what we can gather from the several.
sources of information before us, we conclude
" (hat government iwued pretnptory orders to Gen.
Taylor to terminal the armistice entered into at
the capitulation of Monterey, arid subsequently re
scinded that ordesjt The Galceston News speaks
of Gen Taylor's marches, in view of the renewal
of hostilities and the Washington Union. signifi
cantly 'tilt "If the News is quite sure that his or
dere are to preremtory 1" and intimates tfant he is
permitted to consult his own discretion. This ap
pear in the Union of Wednesday "last, while the
same paper, but a short time since, declared that
the war was to be prosecuted-with vigor, and that
Maj. James Graham had left Washington with in
structions to Gen. Taylor, "terminating the tempo
rary suspension of hostilities "
From these circumstances we are satisfied that
oar government has suspended, in a great degree,
its operations against Mexico, and changed its pol
icy. That Gen,. Taylor will concentrate bis forces
at Monterey, and await further instruction ; and
that (be intelligent correspondent of the Journal of
Commerce ia correct when he says : " I repeat,
what 1 have stated before, that a few week ago the
Government did intend to call out a large force of vol
Mtert, and chiefly from the Souib. But a change
hat come over dim, There w ill be no expensive
movements; no energetic movements made before the
meeting of Congress. The Mexican Congress
may court a peace, and thus relieve our govern
ment from the necessity of acting for them in the
matters; and, if not, the tekoU responsibility and fur
ther dim tetfl be thrown upon Ctnrpt I !
It may be concluded that our government desires
peace, and intends to have it if possible, and that
(his question is agitated by those " behind the cur
tain" of whom the Union speaks. The lmle
country will rejoice when assured that Polk ami
the Cabinet entertain so wise a sentiment; that tbey
are determined to present to the world one, and
almost the firM evidence of sani'y since their re
cession to power.
COL- STEPHENSON SUPERSEDED
Col. Mason is at New York, with the intention,
it is said, to proceed to California and supersede
Cot. Stephenson in the command of ihe California
expedition. If the administration has taken this
step to consequence of the improper conduct of the
Colonel, when he made his exit Jfom New York,
men of all panics will applaud the act.
; ' ' A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.
' The editor of the Wahlngton Union has made an
Important discovery relative to the 'real character
and purposes" of the Whig, and mskes as much ps
radeabetrt It as if he had heard that the army of occupa
tion were revelling In the Halls of Monleauma and
in the Mines of Mexico.'
The first of the items lil. h nh'.r to this " discove
ry" is pthernl from eotoc remarks of Mr. Webster,
who dec tarts that the President has been guilty of
conduct which rendVis him liable to impeachment.
Thia Is wonderful ! Strange, indeed, that any one
should talk of impeaching the heaJ of the faithful, sim
ply for violating the Constitution !
The second ium which attracts tlx notice of the
kees) and wgacioos editor of the Uniuu, is that the
Whigs intend the " Resturailon" uf the Tariff of IMS.
Mr. Ritchie ought to be lianilaotmly rewardod for
kaotliig ant a thing, so much of a secret la this Re
public, that It has been long known to every person in
R who takes any cogniunce of political matters.
The editor of the Union thinks thia " Issue," which he
has this moment discovered, will be destructive to the
hopes of the Whlga VYUlit be prctenJod that any
titer tame was tried In New York, Pennsylvania,
and ether States, which have lately given their verdict

"THE (30SSIPINO PRESS."
Mr. Ritchie saj's the "gossiping press appears to
know more about the Campaign tha'n the managers
themselves behind the curtain." The press should
quh its " gossiping," aud, like (lie Union, never guess
at things. That paper solumnly averred that there
waa to be no change in the Cabinet and a change
took place in a few weeks the "gossiping presa"
having "Mr jlie nail on the head,'' that time, while
ilie facta Impeached the veracity, or else shamed the

BLOCKADING. SQUADRON.
The New Orleana Delta, 'of the 8th Inst, says : "Ad
vices from the blockading squadron wero received
yesterday in this city, ailateosthe 27ih ult. The
substance of it is that certain vessels of our fleet made
a second attempt to attack- Alverado; with i view of
cutting out the -merchant VcsacU? whkh had ran in
there. A heavy gale which sprung up rertdured the
effort unsuccessful, and Induced Com. Conner to or
der the vessels back to their station In the squadron.
There would seem to be some fatulity attending our
naval operations in the Gulf.
MR. HAYWOOD.
The Petersburg Intelligencer, in an article speaking
of the result of the late elect ion a,' and the foresight of
Mr. Hatwood, and of his warning to hia partvycon
eludes as follows ; V
"For this, obloquy and abuse were heaped upon him,

the " British Rill,'' and who joined in tho hunt, which
only lacked the ability to pursue Mr. Haywood to the
death, would give their eyo-toeth, if they had heeded
his warning voice and slopped short of the measure,
which will prove to be a mill-atone round the neck of
Locofocolsm.
" Mr. Haywood had hud his days of bitterness and
mortification he has now bis days oftfiumphand ex

The soil and climate of Florida are aaid to bo well
adapted to the cultivation of the olive, which Is an
important article of commerce. The editor of the St.
Augustine News has been presented with some of
this fruit, fine snd fresh, the growth of that place.
GEN. LA VKOA.
We learn thai Gen. La Vega has been officially
notified by his government that Captain Carpendcr
and the crew of the. Truiton have been exchanged for
him and his fellow prisoners of war, who were taken
at Rcsaca de la Palma, and that our government has
ratified the arrangement.
GEN. AVORtTi.
Thisgailant officer, whose praise is on the tongues
of all his countrymen, rose from the rank of a pri
vate soldier, to bis present position. He was aid
to Gen. Scott at the battle o Lundy's Lane, and
was very severely wounded ; and in the Florida
war was much distinguished. Had he joined the
army at a la';er period, We should have had no Gen

to promotion from the ranks is closed. It is dis
graceful to our democratic professions that this vi

ISLAND OF CUBA
It waa reported, some time ago, that Privateers under
the Mexican flag, were about being fitted out from the

the Government has it In contemplation to establish
diplomatic relations with Algiers, and that the appoint

having Signalized himself in action against the At
