Cotrspondcncc of the Mercury. WASHtNGTUN, D.c,9, 844. The House did little or nothing to-day; talked a'gittlu on Mr. Duncan's Election Bill-referred the President's Message to the appropriate Committees, &c. The most imp rtant matter in the House was the appointment of the Committees by the Speiker, giving on the Committee on Foreigao Relations a decided majority to the frieuids of Texas. So you may expect duriag~this week a Bill of Resolution from this Committee annexing Texas to this Union on the ternis of the Treaty. A letter in the Ledger states, that Capt. F.lliott-, who is about returning to Texas, is instructed by the British Government to proceed immediately to Texas, and pro pose and guaranty the Independence of Texas from Mexico within 90 days, and is authorized to say that Her lajesty's Government will appropriate ?100,000 or 6500,000 per annum. for ten successive years to defray the current expenses of Government. &c., making $5.000,000, provided Texas will abandon annexation with the United States, and enter into a Commercial Treaty with the British Gov ernment, admitting British goods free of duty, and agreeing to charge 20 perct. advalorem on goods from all other coun tries. Commercial Infornation.-We are in formed tmat 11r. Ogilby, the British Con sul, ol this city. hs received instructions from Her Majesty's Government, to grant certificates of origin for Sugars, the pro duce of this country intended to be expor ted to the United.Kirgdomn of Great Bri ~ ar-..an-- hC British possessions, The duty on Anerican Suaars, by this regula tion, will be E. 14s. per cwt.. whereas that trom Cuba, Brazil, &c, imported into Great Britian, pa; a duty of Z33s. per cwt. The duty tn Mlolasses will be in proportion. -Charleston Courier. Unpleasant rumor-Mormon Massacre. -The Warsaw (Illinois) Signal, states that Lyman Wright's party of Mormoos, having emigrated to Prai-ie du Chien, made an attack upon a trading statiomn'90 miles above that place, forthe purpose of rob! ing it. but were hotly recieved. and four of the gang killed. The remainder fled. pursued by the exasperated French, aud Indians, and coming up to the Mor mons, murdered all they could fiid, we 'know not how many. The rutnor was giherally believed at Nauvoo. Mr. Green Secretary of . Legation to Mexico, passed through this city yesterday (says the Mobile Commercial Advertiser.) from Vera Cruz, via Galveston and to New Orleans for Washington city with despatches for our government from Mr. Shannon. He brings tidings, as we learn, of stir ring interest. The American Minister has thought it his duty to close his mission and leave Mexico, waiting only for passports. 51exico, though her ministry, takes the highest tone of arrogance towards the United States, hacked, if not directly aid ed, by British agents. There will be a lowering aW tone there when they hear how completely the Mexi can party here has been prostrated in ithe . .eJections. Half of ti Mexican bravado springs out of their confidence of support in the administration that was to be but is rejected by the people in advance. Sudden Death.-We regret to learn that the Rev. William King-an old and highly respected Baptist Clergynan. who resided 10 or 12 miiles above this place wvas found dead, near his dwelling. on Saturday evening last. He left the house near 12 o'clock, apparently in his usuael health, and was discovered by his nife, about an hour by stun, perfectly dead. A Jury of Inquest was hteld over the body that night by the Coroter, who returned a verdict that the deceased catme to his death by the visitation of God. H e was about 66 years old, and had heetn a preach er of the Gospel, atnd resided in this yin cinity, during the last 40 or 50 years. .GreenviLle Mountaineer 20 inst. Commercial.
