Mr. Clay's address to the Public" which wc pub-
lish to-day we think settles the question as to wheth-
er ha will be a candidate for the Prc&Ucncy. He has
placed himself formally before the Whig Cumcntion
with a long Ut of reasons hijotherst why Ite should
be nominated. Ae regard his nomination almost; as
a nutter of course ; and his defeat ditto.
Cessius 3L Clay has a claim pending before Con-
gress for the low of all he posses! wlrilt prisoner
in Mexico amounting to $1373 including n watch
which coat only $300. The facts of the lo-? bciug
as ho says incapable of positive proof ho refers to
their fellow-member Hon. J. P. Gaines nnd pledge
hi" sacred lienor as the only vrideuces of the ju.
ticoof his claim. Tsvuslulin broken to piocs by.
the orerturning of a wagon in Texas he claims noth-
ing for u he says that he and the United States aic
suffered allko in that nnfortunato land.
Hiorc arc two things which Mr. Clay did not lot-p
iu Texas : Ilia character of being an orderly and law-
abiding citizen he lost in Kentucky ; his reputation
as a soldier m Mexico where he fell into u trap that
would not hare caught a hare. If he Uw-t two fiddles
in Texas bo hung up two of about equal value in
other quarters.
At a meeting of Wings of the citv and ccuutv of
Philadelphia friendly to the nomination oi General
Taylor for the Presidency by the Whig National
Conrcntion on the 2btu March it was resulted that it
is M both unjust and ungenerous to a-ert that hois
not a Whig in the face of his repeated declarations
that '-he ia a Wing and does not desire to conceal that
fact from the people of the United State!. and of
the authority giren by him in the letter to lion. Jos.
R. Inger&oll to announce him as "a Whig in princi
pie ; that the election of Gen. Taj lor will b.! a Whig
victory and that a known and a voiced Whig will be
placed at the head of ('orcrnmcnL Similar resolu-
tions are adopted in almost all the meetings iu the
middle and northern states where Gen. Taylor is .spo-
ken of for the Presidency. Yet here he is held up
as a no-party man equally friendly to the Whigs and
Democrats but believing the former to be the only
true followers of the Constitution and of Jefferson
Of one thing we rest satisfied: If Gen. Taylor runs
for the Presidency it will be as the regular Whig
Nominee and not in opposition to Mr. Clay or inde-
pendent of the Whig Party. The Philadelphia Con-
vention will in a short time show whether thl opin-
ion Is correct or erroneous.
The Kcaynne the leading edhor of which paper is
a Kentuckian and a Whig uses the following language
in reference to Mr. Clay's address :
Xor do we think it graceful in Mr. Clay to admit as
a reason for foregoing his determination" to remain iu
private lifethat these same friends have convinced him
that he alone of all tbo Whtgs residing in the sine
States can get the vote of certain anti-elai cry States.

The SJatamoros Flag of the 5th hist eavt :
A man named Charles Gleason was arretted on
Friday last whilst endeavoring to escae into Texas
and brought lock to this city charged with being the
leader of a gang of American and .Mexican despera-
does who were mentioned some titno since ns having
lieen banded together and committing murders and
robberies in the vicinity of SaltiUo. An order fur the
arrest of Gleason had been sent down by Gen. Wool.
Gleason got wind of the order sold out for half cost
some goods which he had recently purchased nnd was
on the point of returning with Saltillo and sought to
ccape as stated lie Was overtaken on the road to
Corpus Christi about thirty miles from here and is
now securely ironed. I may be well to stato that
there is another Jlr. Charles Gleason somewhere in
this vicinitv whose name wc would not wish to have
ontounded with the one above mentioned.
New York papers generally represent that the pri
vate letters oy me iiincmia are J little more encoura-
ging than the published accounts as to commercial and
financial matters. The Exnrcss savs : " In Fran..
arrangements have been made by which a deiiosit of
mercnandisc could be made and bond received which
bond was discounted at the Bank of France. This
has enabled merchants holding produce to turn them
selves and realize the means to meet Uieir acceptan
ces. All the bills from the Southern banks as far as
heurd from have been mid."
The Tribune sava: uThc Knglish letters represent
money as plenty at low rates but Uic condition of
trade was tmiavomblc. o crisis nowever was ex-
pected." Money In Xew York too is easy and mere cheerful
jttfing coming over business.
Tjjtxrssix. A Clay meeting was held in Xash-
ville orTthe evening of the th inst. which it is said
was attended by several hundred persons and was
characterized by great enthusiasm. Strong reeolu-
trsRS were adopted avowing a preference for Jlr. Clay
as tho Whig candidate for the Presidency.
The Harrishurg Telegraph says that two thirds of
the delgntcs from that State to th W big National
Chnvention will go for Gen. Scotland six for Mr. Cljy
and three for Gen. Taylor.

At the Rome time. Col. Havs captured in the town
about two hundred and fifty mut-kuts several esco-

was headed by Gcu. Lane and rryself ; and when in

were unexpectedly saluted by a volley of musketry
discharged at us from a euartel or barracks occupied
by a portion of the Mexican force probably some 00
or GO strong which were unUl that moment cnUrely
concealed from ourview. I immediately ordered Jlaj.
lrnett with some lo or Jo mcuto stop and engage
this force wliHo I proceeded forward to the main pla
za to make further observation of the enemy. Adju-
tant Ford was also ordered to act with Jlaj. Tructt
and to assist in dislodging this force which first as-
saulted us from their cover. With'tlte most heroic
dcrou'onthc small force of Jlaj. Tructt entered the
barracks in the fiico of a warm fire from the enemy.
and after a desperate resistance oil his irt effectual-

In the meantime I advanced rapidly to the plaza
from whence I discovered in a street; to the left there
of a strong detachment ot the enemy lancers and
infantry coming forth from barracks.

With idl possible despatch I returned to the plaza

Xear this point we took a Mexican prisoner Com
whom we learned thut the quarters of Padre Januta
were iu the large church w hich fronted the main pla-

and when we arrived there found that a portion of
Major Polk s command had already bren there ; but
that Jarauta had a very few minutes before their ar-
nvaijccccted his precipitate escape; thereby for the
present; saving his person from the treatment he so
wisely dreaded. In the vicinity of the church quite
a number of the enemy were killed in endeavoring to
effect tliur escape.

was authorized to pubfch roy decision one way or the

the fatherland to seek a new Mar of fortune across

Father Mituew. A letter from Father JIathcw
dated Cork March 10th has been received at New
York by which it appears that the visit of that cmi-
neuUy philanthropic man to Uiis country is postponed.
Father Mathcw says :
When last 1 had the pleasure of addressing you 1
fully calculated on being able to gratify my anxious
desire of visitingthcStatcsthisfeason. Circumstan-
ces have lately occurred which will I regret to say
compel me to postpone my journey until the Fall of
the Tear. I am commanded by my superior to co to
Rome prior to my departure for America and I have
been hitherto prevented from leaving Ireland by a se-
vere attack of influenza. It will be out of my pow-
er to return from Italy in time to take passage in tho
u New World." Add to tho favors already conferred
by apologizing tor mo to the gentlemen ot the com-
mittee and to my other friends and assure them that
I shall have the happiness God willing early in Sep-
tember of enjoying a personal interview.
Haffixsss. Every man is happy nomatterwhat
his circumstances who is contented. Happiness docs
not depend so much on the art of getting much as
upon the art of being contented with what we have.
PaurcRLiBoa. Wehavo heard the pauper labor
of England so uften spoken of in our partisan papers
that we were not prepared for the surprise .with
which we read in the late English papers of a peti-
tion to Parliament to protect British seamen against
" Uie ill-fed pauper seamen of tho American merchant
ships!" This expression is repeated often in a peti-
tion from Liverpool praying that Uie contemplated
free navigaUon laws may not be passed which will
take from British vessels all protection against the
cheap pauper seamen of America !

the mark of the cross as an attestation of the good

ed to the signature of those who could write as well
as to stand in the place of the signature of those who
could not write. In those times if a man could write
or even read bis knowledge vn proof presumptive
that ho was in holy order. The eterievs or clerk
was synonymous wi'h penman ; and the laity or peo-
ple who were not clerk did not feel any urgent ne-
cessity for the use of letters. The ancient use of the
cross was therefore nnivers. alike by those who conld
and thoso who could not write ; it was indeed the
symbol of an oath from its holy associations and

editor of "The Tictodal Shoktpcare" explains the
expression of Cod savo the mark ! n a a form of
