PaRLIAMENTA 11Y THE SlJUAK DuTII'S.
?The government is now fairly involved

cannot be known until the next

briefly these:?The colonial duty of

existing duty on forcing free-labor sugar
is 23s 4d. It is to be reduced at once to
21s., and is to apply equally to all foreign
sugar, free as well as slave grown.
A scale of duties is to extend over five
years, dropping in the first year a shilling,

of which time all the distinction between
the colonial and foreign sugar is to cease.
This, in brief, is an outline of the plan.
It is a bold and comprehensive plan?
bold, because it annihilates at once the
foolish and uncandid distinction between
slave and free-labov sugar?comprehensive,
because it includes every sugargrowing
country in its grasp. But al
ready there are breakers ahead. Lord
George Bentick has given notice of an
amendment condemnatory of the admission
of slave-grown sugar, and the
" Saints" anxious to assist the protectionists,
will make common cause against
the Minister. But that great power
which makes and unmakes Mtnisters of

CAM AIi< JO, July 17. 1
i To hreak lli" dull montonv of camp ,
| life we had another Indian alarm yester- j
I day morning. The alcalde came in
j invat haste and tr? pidation to the comj
mandin'if ollicer of the troops hern, that
| the Camanches were laying waste the
i ranches on the other side of the river ,
j ahovc the mouth of the San Juan, mur- (
j tiering the inhabitants and rarrvinsr off ,
I captive tin; children. McCulloch's j
| Hangers wore :it once detailed to cross
the Uio Grande. and wore all in the
s;k1iI1<; in almost no lime.
To my thinking, these Indian distur- ,
bances will be fruitful of much trouble. (
If Lam not much mistaken, at the great
treaty recently held by Gov. l>uttler
and Alaj. Lewis, high upon the liro/os
it was understood that the Indians were
not to be molested in any war ihey .
might be engaged in with -Mexico. It (
might not have been "so simulated in .
I 1 . ~
the bond," yet the commissioners in the \
then existing state of aflairs between the ,
United States and Mexico were not in a (
situation to say to the different tribes i
that they must war no more with a .
country that was then a common cne- t
my. That they might and did say to ,
them, that they were at liberty to wage (
hostilities conformably with the usages |
of civilized nations, there can be little
doubt, but that they told them not to approach
the Mexican frontier, would have
onen a piece ot absurdity, not to say stu- |
pidity, they were not the men to be ,
guilty of.
Following the final ratification of the
treaty, the provisions of which have not ,
yet been published, came Gen. Taylor's
success at Palo Alto and llesaca dc la
Palma and the talcing of Matamoras;
after which an entirely new face appears
to have been put upon the nature
of the operations this side of the liio
Grande. The conciliatory system had
not then been adopted, nor were the
people promised protection, nor had
proclamations appeared indirectly cal
ling" upon the inhabitants this side the
Sierra Mad re to throw off the oppressive ;
yoke of the Central Government.
In the mean time, some of the wild
tribes have organized their bands, and
are now carrying on destruction and
death upon the frontier. Itisthebounden
duty of the United States, as I look
upon the matter, to afford protection to
the inhabitants upon the oust bank of
the Itio Grande ; but to what extent the
Indians can be legitimately interfered
with on this side of the river is another
matter. The result of all this is now

Affairs begin to look & little more
lively in this particular section The
steamer Bi<^ Hatchee came up last evening
with Major Staniford and the rest
of the 5th United States Infanty on
board, so that we have two regiments of
regulars, the 5th and ?'th, already quartered
here. To this force must be added
the section of Bragg's Artillery and
the two companies of Dean Rangers
under McCulloch and Gillespie, form
quite an army when all arc paraded.
A portion of the 8th United States Infantry,
is en route, and some of the Lou- :

the inhabitants of Nueva I icon will not

of the Mexican army opposite Mata

may have possessed, and under any cirstances,
I believe they prefer independence
and a separation from the Central
government, to clinging longer to its
Loitering fortunes. Nothing probably
restrains them from coming out openly
and declaring therr.solves, except fear?a
fear that possibly the Americans may
not be successful in the end, that in such
rase, Paredes or whoever might be in
power, would visit them with a heavy
hand.
The Mcx icans in this section are ccr- I
tainly placed in a most awkard situation,
nnd many of them know not how to act
:>r what to do. They have been threatened
with punishment most severe if
they show favor or render assistance to
the invading' army, and with these
threats hanging over them, along comes
Gen. Taylor promising thein protection,
und at the same time oflereing to pay
the highest price lor any subsistence :
they may be called upon to dispose of, '
r>r any assistance they may be able to I
furnish in the way of transportation?
far better treatment and better protection
than they have ever received from
their own government. To leave their
homes and fly to the interior, in obedience
to the mandates of Paredes, would
be to sacrifice almost every thing; to
remain and show favor to the Americans,
with the threats of future punishment
and confiscation of property staring
them in the face, places them jather
between hawk and buzzard, as the saying
is?in a dilemma from which they
una it diilicult to cxtricatc themselves.
Efforts are now being made by the United
States agents to procure transportation
for provisions and stores into the interior.
As soon as I can ascertain the
result I will write.
One word about Canale's men. It is
said that many of those who have left

Three of the four Louisiana regiments
that were stationed above here have

that he had a muster roll of G8 men, but
i diil not learn whether they were remustered

Texans were refused admission into the
service this morning, the General saying
he had enough men.
In and about Matamoras, with the exception
of the Texans, there are not 1200
tnen. Gen. Taylor gave up the command
of the town yesterday to Colonel
Clarice of the 6th Regiment, now in the
United States. It was proposed at first
to jrive it to Lieut. Col. Child*. Hut hn
I learn, prefers following the army.
During the last three days five steamers
have arrived here from Camargo,
but no word of news was brought of
he movement of the enemy. The river
s falling very fast, and the idea seems
.0 be to get up as much of the provisions
as possible before it got to low waer
mark. I think from the number of
roops concentrating there, that a much
larger number of bouts will be found j
necessary.

! We are indebted to the lion
I Wm Ali.en, of Ohio, for a copy of his
speech upon the Oregon question.
A poor unfortunate young man,
apparently idiotic, on yesterday, was
\V:l Mllcr i n <r nlifHit nm* <:t in o ir,?r.r
helpless situation. He calls himself
Reuiikn White, and says he is from

with the. hope that they may meet the
eye of his friends who should promptly
attend to him.
The prospects for a line corn
crop were never better in this District
than r.t present. The cotton is not so
good ; the extraordinary wet season has
caused it to grow too much to weed, and
it is thought the crop will be short with
us.
It is thought that Guaiiam. the
Whig candidate for Governor of North
Carolina, will be elected by a majority
little short of 15,000.
Two brevet appointments have
been conferred on tho gallant Capt
May by the President?that of Major
for former services in Florida, and Lieut.
Colonel for his brilliant charge upon the
guns of the enemy at the battle of Resaca
de la Palma.
We have been permitted to see
a letter addressed to a gentleman in this
District, from Pawne Fork, near Arkansas
river, and 300 miles from Fort Levenworth,
July 14th 184G. Although
not containing much in it of importance,
we are enabled to gather from it something
of Col. Kearney's movements towards
Santa Fe.
The writer states that he left Lcvcnworth
in command of 50 dragoons on
the 12th of June, and after a march of
twelve days, arrived at Pawnee Fork,
where he found Capt. Moore with his
squadron cncampcd, having been ena
bled to overtake the ammunition waggons.
Capt. Moore stopped the traders
as they arrived,much to their annoyance.
There were about 150 waggons
with some 200 men, bound for Santa
Fe for trading purposes. The force at
Pawnee Fork consisted of 3 companies
of dragoons, under Capts. Moore, Burgoine
and Lieut. Noble, making an aggregate
of ISO men ; Moore, as senior
othcer, commands the whole, lie was
lo have left on the 15th for Bent's Fort,
on the Arkansas, 200 miles distant from
Pawnee Fork, where he would await
Col. Kearney, who was expected there
with the main army. It was thought
they would have to do some fighting before
they took Santa Fe.
flCr* We have no recent news of importance
from the army since the capture
of Camargo. The troops were ascending
the river to that point as fast as
practicable. The line of march had not
been taken up for Monterey, though preparations
were making for it. It is still
thought our men will have a brush at
Monterey, as the Mexicans have been
very active in fortifying the town and
null in rr it in o ?i~?? ~C .i-f- T- '

said that nature and art have rendered
this point a pretty strong hold, and although
the forces there are few, we may
have some difficulty in taking the town.
The final result, however, is not to be
dreaded.
