Accounts from the city of Mexico to the 11th ultimo confirm the news of tho second rout of Carvsjal and his followers on the Rio Grande. Gen. Jauregui, in his report to his Government states Carvajal's loss at a much higher figure than the accounts received by way of Browns ville. It appears that an arrangement bos been made with the English creditors of Mexico, by which for five years they are to receive three ier cent, aunual interest and five of amortization, and afterwards four per cent, interest and six amirti- j zation The Spanish debt has been arranged iu ; the same way. 1 CONGRESSIONAL. !

Every available standing placo in the Senate was at once occupied by ladies. At oneo'c1ock Gov. Kossuth entered the Senate, leaning on the arm of General Shields, and ac companied by Messrs. Cass and Seward, aud others of his suite. When arrived at the chair, Geucral Shields said, ''Mr. President, we have tho honor to introduce Louis Kossuth to the Senato ot the United States." The chair requested the committee to conduct M. Kossuth to a seat. Tho committee conducted him to a seat in front of tho Secretary's desk. Mr. Mangum said that in order that all might have an opportunity of paying their resiects to the illustrious guest, he would uiovo fhe Senate adjourn. And the motion was agreed to. M.

Numerous deputations representing the trade und manufactures of Paris, headed by Mens. Lemoruaix, presented ou Saturday an address to the President of the Republic expressing their j deep gratitude for tbo meusures they bad ud op ted. At Amiens, the Bishop, clergy, and religious congregation voted openly in tte affirmative. The Paris correspondent of the London Times says that in the arondissements of Paris, inhabit ed more particularly by the working class, major, ities in favor of the President havo been polled, whilst in those quarters inbubited by the old nobles, neutrality has been strongly manifes ted. The working classes generally manifest strong hopes in Louis Napoleon, believing that he is a Socialist in the proper sense of the Word, and that he is already contemplating, and will soou execute decrees testifying his solicitude for thorn; and that he will apply those doctrines with which they sympathise, and those theories that will give them a material well-being aud a cheap ex istence. Tho Bourgeoiso also believe that tho advan tages to them from the promulgation of tbo pow ers of Napoleon will bo equally great. The Bishop of Stiasburg has addressed 4 lotto r to the clergy of his diocese, crglng then) to vote In the affirmative.

Dates from Viena, to December 17, state that notes, complaining of the dangerous support giv en td political fugitives In England, were present ed to the English foreign office by the represen tatives of Russia, Austria, Prussia, and the Ger man Confederation. . . - On the 12th, a similar note was also handed to Lord Crowley, at Frankfort, asserting that Aus tria will not hesitato to adopt measures which will make it imminent or difficult for Englishmen to travel in the Austrian States as long as tho just complaints of the Imperial Government are not attended to in London, and an organized commu nication betwoen the revolutionary party in Eng land and all the Continental States Is carried on under the protection of the law. The note fur ther adds that the English, will have less cause of complaint, as the duration of the measure will de pend on themselves. A considerable sum of money which had been forwarded to Hungary by the London Democrats has fallen into the hands of the government. It is supposed to have been brought into Hungary by foreign emissaries. English travellers are, in consequence, closely watched.

NORTU CAROLINA RAIL ROAD. We hsd tho pleasure of a short conversation with Col. Owynn, Chief Engineer of this Great Work, on Saturday. The Col. has just returned from a minute examination of tho whole length of the line. From him we learn that the whole work is now under contract, and a large amount of excavatlou and embankment already done. Where the work Is not commenced, the contrac tors are busily engaged in preparing for a most active campaign. "Tho busy hum and note of preparation" is heard on every side. The nia- tcriul necessary to a wonderful amount, the men, tho horses and mules, and the provant for their support, the implements, and every requisite arc collecting in quantities to ensure tho most rapid completion. "Pick-nx. shovel, spado, Crow-bar, hoe and barrow j" The Road will soon be made, Our workmen "have the marrow." Thisisowr quotation, and not the Colonel's, who though he has a (aste for the solid sciences is not at all poetical. But to us, his description of the vast collection of tools, and the truly ener getic spirit of those who ate to use them, at once suggested "the patriotic diggers," In sober prose, the Chief Engineer assured us ho found the situation of every pait of the line perfectly satisfactory, and the best spirit prevail ing not only with those directly interested, hut through the whole country , giving evidence of a disposition which ensured the prompt completion of this extensive work. At 0110 end of the line those enterprising contractors, McRae and Ken nedy, are not behind any other part of tho route.

A letter from a traveller through Vermont states that while he was sitting in a village tavern another traveller came in, and stepping up to the place where tho bar once was, intimated, that he would like a glass of brandy. ."Don't keep it," was tho gruff reply.

Thi YVarou theJRia Craude, aud Defeat, of ; s the Insurgents at Cerralvo. Tbo "American Flag," a newspaper published atfyowneville ou,th.e Rio Grande, ffynlsLes news from that quarter to.'tbe 10th ultimo, by which we learn that Carvsjal and his band of insurgents have met with no better success in. their demon stration against Cerralvo than they didi at- Mata moros. - Tbey have been compelled to ralsst the siege and retreat to the American fcide ot the river. The Flag" soys that Gen Harney has re turned to Ringgold Barracks,' and is determined to enforoe our neutrality laws so fiir as may be in his power. Tho "Flag" is opposed to the revolu tionary movement in Northern Mexico ot w.hich U speaks in condemnatory terms, denouncing those engaged in it, advising all Americans to obey the laws of their country, and predicting for Carvajal a speed overthrow.. The Allowing is tbe latest intelligence of the operatlpna. of the antagonist forces: "The steamer Camanche arrived here late on Monday night, bringing accounts of the recent battle at Carralvo between tbo forces of Carvajal and those of Gen. Jauregui. It appears that Gen. Jauregui had 220 men and two pieces of ar tillery, while the force under Carvajal amonnfcd to 860 men without cannon. Carvajal charged the guns of Jauregui, and succeeded in driving him from his position, capturing much of tbo aronnition, and many horses, saddles, wagons, and small arms belonging to Jauregui's camp; but from some unaccountable causo failed in secur ing the large guns. Jauregui took shelter In a large stone house near the edge of the town with his cannon. There he held them at bay for two days, using small stones instead of shot, with his large gnns. At this juncture Carvajal received information of the near approach of a large de tachment of Gen. U rags '8 force, and he at once broke up and commenced a precipitate retreat. "We are informed that his forces became much scattered in their stampede, but the most of them, with their leader, reachod Guerrero, aud immedi ately crossed over the Rio Grande, thus putting that river betwixt them and harm. Tbey are thus driven out of Mexican -territory, and havo found a refuge on American soil. "All accounts agree that tho late battle at Cer ralvo was a very severe one ; that Gen. Jauregui's men fought with as much determination and valor as could be expected from any people fighting for their homes and their country's honor. Tho little band under Carvajal charged the shotted guns of their opponents witli the bravery and perseverance characteristic of veterans, and In a good cause would havo deserved, as it most like ly would have secured, success. But their victo ry will prove as disastrous as a defeat could pos sibly be. "We believe this abortive and ill-advised at tempt at a revolution to be well-nigh ended. Un less largo reinforcements are speedily received from Texas, nothing can help them. The last ac counts from Capt. Ford were not encouraging to the hopes of the Invading forces. Ho was about leaving San Antonio for Austin, to try what might be etlecUd in that quarter. We are happy in re ceiving the assurance that Capt. Lewis will have nothing to do with the affair. As we can see nothing desirable to bo effected in so hopeless a struggle, we sincerely trust it w ill proceed PQ fur ther." ARMY NEWS. Gen. Smith returned to San Antonio, on Satur day last, after having visited in person all tho frontier posts. During his tour he visited and ' explored the frontier one hundred and fifty miles ' in advance of the present military posts, with a j view of ascertaining by personal inspection the best and most eligible lino to be adopted as a permanuneut military defence. Since his depart-1 r .... ... . , . . 1 I urc from this place, which was but a few days af- ter his first arrival, he has travelled more than twelve hundred miles in performing this service, ' He will report the result of his observations to ' , , ,. , the War Department, and await further mstruc-1 tions from that sou roe, when, a permanent line of frontier posts will he established.

HtvHf un Quack, Jan. 4 The Susquehanna is literally closed up with ice, causing a stiseiisiou of all travel by the railroad between Baltimore and Philadelphia for tho present. Tho Ic com menced moving yesterday aftornoon with great velocity, and soon choked up the River, below this point, the soino as it did last winter. The ice is locked up lu a solid mass as far as Port Deposit, and is considerably over tho tow path at Bell's Ferry. The railroad steamboat is on this side and thero is no possibility of her being able to pass over. The train from Philadelphia yesterday afternoon was compelled to return after reaching the river. I havo as yet heard of no damage, though the danger is not all over yet. FROM TEXAS. A letter of the 12th ultimo from Austin, (Tex as,) speaking of tho proceedings of the Texan Legislature, says that on that day tbe House had passed to third reading a bill which originated In tho Senate, and which makes it tho duty of the Comptroller to proceed immediately to the city of Washington and draw the five millions of stock which have been deposited there, In the treasury of this State. A separate soot ion provides that the Comptroller shall at the same time draw tbe two hundred and fifty thousand dollars of interest due on the 1st of January next on said five mil lions' of stock. An effort was made in the House to amend the bill so as to require the Comptroller to advertise and sell one million of the stock at tho city of Washington, but It failed by a decis ive vote.
