By the steamboat Fashion and the bark William Joy, the New Orleans papers have received intelligence from the Brazos Santiago to the 14th and from Matamoros to the 12th ef Jnne. The news is no later than had before been received, but is more in detail, and will be found long time, been the tenet of the western frontier, committine depredations apon Mexicans and Texans, and always managing to escape both. Within two months he had 700 1,000 men under hie Command on the Aroyo Colorado, 30 miles east from this place, and what chance has lessened this number to 15, is quite mystery.

He is proverbial for trickery, and has in this instance, no doubt, deceived Col. W. I shall not be surprised if hi band of Rancheroe, was to take Col. W. by surprise, and pot him to great trouble.

The time that Gen. Anaya attempted to revolutionize Mexico in 1839, Canales had a Colonel's command, which, united with about 500 Texans, went into the Mexican territory as far as Saltillo, and when storming the place, Canales deserted the Texans, and joined the Central party again, thus defeating the object of the expedition. He has long since been declared an outlaw, and would have been hung either by the Texans or Mexicans, coud he have been captured. BUPFALOt WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 1, 1846. Th Co5tkwtios.

The reader's attention is directed to the report of the Convention' proceedings on Monday and Tuesday. The report Is bfrief, but, as will be seen, it relates to matters of the highest interest. Constitutional provisions in regard to the currency and the rights of citi zens, come home to every man. We are hardly-prepared to express an opinion in regard to the merits of such of the propositions brought forward as will give rise to a difference of sentiment; but in the main we are inclined to think favorably of them. The changes in our banking system bro't forward by Mr.

Cimirilio, are excessively stringent in their character, too much so, we believe, to be sanctioned by the people. That some modification of onr system or systems, for We have necessary, all admit; and some provision should be adopted, whether by personal liability or otherwise, we care not, that shall secure the bill holder against the possibility of loss. The amendments of the general hanking law have much improved it, by rendering the peblic more secure, but the protection ta yet far from being as perfect as it should amd might fee made. The safety fund system is much more objectionable. It may ffrrJ has worked well, when banks under it are managed exclusively by cautions men who thoroughly understand their business; but it does not guard the public as it should grtiuit the effects of dishonesty, recklessness orin-competency in its management.

Besides, the existence of two systems, in some degree antagonistic, is herctty defensible on the score of sound public policy. One or the other should give way, allowing reasonable time for the transition. In making provisions on this subject, however, whi! aiming to secure more perfectly the public against possible loss, care should be taken not to 1 run into the opposite extreme by adopting regu- Utions so stringent as to destroy banking altogeth- i-r. It is possible that men mav be found willins to engage hi the business with a personal responsibility "in their individual and private capacities for all debts and liabilities of every kind, incurred" by them, whether banking on individual, or associated account, but we doubt; and if the most complete protection of their circulation is insistjd upon, we th.nk that is as far as we ought to go. 1 Some may think that personal responsibility for tfiat, after securing it by pledges of property, is t-xaeting too much.

It may be unnecessary and therefore unwise, but if the security be perfect, then- can te no great objection to giving the additional personal guarantee. 'Deposites, and other liabilities, aside from circulation, de net require so strict a rule. Few parties are interested in them, and tliey generally are abundantly capable of protecting themselves against loss. In regard to the propositions respecting the rights of citizens, we have nothing but the Telegraphic report, necessarily brief and meagre The chaugL-s proposed, so far as this report enables us to iudge, are on the whole judicious especially that seen ring to married women their rights in property A Word to the Editorial Fratkrhity. I nder this head the Rochester Democrat, of this morning, suggests that the different editors on the Telegraphic line between this city id Albany, sbidl be at the several Telegraphic stations at 9 o'clock on the morning 'A the 4th, and "there in soiemn cunoiave" decide by vote when and where 1 the proposed Convention shall be held.

It can be done, sas the Democrat, in two minutes. Would it not be well to postpone the Convention until the completion of the line from New Yrk to Albany, which will be some time in the latter part of this month?

They would take this opportunity to inform the LADIES tbat these SKIRTS are pronounced by those who have used them, to be the very best article of the kind that has ever been invented for utility, comfort and health. This Skirt is decidedly a superior article, embracing many good qualities that cannot be found in any other. One great property it has ihat would recommend it at this season of the year is, it cannot break down, and if pressed, as soon as the pressure is removed, ii will return to Its proper form, retaining a light, airy and graceful ap pearance. Many efforts have been made to produce an article embracing the above qualities, but not successful, until the appearance of Mr.

This tmpreesron, we believe, was very general.

The readers of Typee therefore can imagine, and will share, our surprise, at hearing that here, in Buffalo, is a credible witness to the truth of some of the most extraordinary incidents narrated in the book. Toby, the companion of Mr. Melville in the flight from the whale ship, and whom in his book he supposes to be dead, is now living in this city, following the business of a house and sign painter. His father a respectable farmer in the town of Darien, Genesee Co. We received from Toby this morning the subjoined communication.

His verbal statements correspond in all essential particulars with those maile by Mr. Melville respecting their joint adventures, and from the assurances we have received in regard to Toby's character, we have no reason to doubt his word. His turning up here is a strange verification of a very strange and, as has hitherto been deemed, an almost incredible book To tke Editor of the Buffalo Com. In the New York Evangelist I chanced to see notice of a new publication in two parts, called 1 Typee, a residence in the Marq-ucsa." bv Hkr-man Mf.lvillk. In the book he speaks of his comrade in misfortune, "Toby," who left him so mysteriously, aad whom he supposed rnid been killed by the Happar riatives.

I have not heard of ville or 1 onimo, since I lelt nun on the Island, and likewise supposed him to be dead; and not knowing where a letter would find him, and being anxious to know where he is. and to tell him my "yarn" and compare log" books, I have concluded to ask you to insert this notice, and inform him of my yet being alive, and to ask yo1' to request New York, Albany and Boston pa- P'rs him. to publish 'his notice, Mv true name is Hi that it mav HARD GlItEN, reach and I have the scar on my head which 1 received from the Happar spear ai which came near killing 1 left Melville and fell in witti an Irishman, who had resided on the Island for some time, and who assisted me in returning to ship, and who faithfully promised me to go and bring Mei.vii.lk to uiir ship next day, which he never did, his only ohject being money. I gave him five dollars to get me on board, but could not return to Melville.

I sailed to New Zealand and thence home; aud I request Melville to send me his address if this should chance to meet his eve. Mortarkec was the word I used when I heard of his being alive. Toby.

They have expended a large sum of money, and we trust their expectations in regard to their undertaking may be fully realized.

It is just that we should mention Mr. John V. Vedder, extensively know as a railroad builder, as the gentleman to whom the public are largely indebted for the vigorous prosecution and completion of these enterprises. The public are tinder man; obligations to Mr. Vedder, and we trust, that having invested a large share of the capital necessary to carry forward the improvements, he may be grati- fied with a beautiful return.

Vandalism. At a late term of the Allegheny (Pa.) County Court, the township of Lafayette was divicied, the old name dropped and those of Ringgold and Brown given to the new.

The men who did that deed are vandals at heart, and would desecrate the graves of their fathers were it necessary to subserve their own vile purposes.

fc- WTLLIAM JdCortaad Yorfc 6erai Agar interesting, 1 News has been received of the death of Gen. Torrejon, who was erroneously reported to have been killed in the actions of the 8th and 9th of Mav. He is said to have died of a fever. The Mexican Army was supposed to be at Monterey. It was also asserted that both Arista and Ampudia had left for the capital, the latter accusing Arista with having betrayed the army, and Arista charging Ampudia with cowardice.

The U. S. sloop of war John Adams, tharig Lawrence and cutter Woodbury were blockading the mouth of the Rio Grande. Capt. Ker of the 2d dragoons and Lieut.

Scott of the 7th infantry had reached New Orleans. i Mr. SJchatzell, ex-Consul at Matamoros, with several olher Americans, had reached the Brazos from Tampico. A rumor was current at Matamoros, said to have been brought by express on the 6th, that the Mexicans had received a reinforcement of 5000 troops under Arista. A correspondent of the Picayune writes from Point Isabel, June tfth, that Gen.

Alvarez had declared in favor of Herrera, according to rumor; that General Garcia was dead; that fever was rapidly thinning Arista's army; and that Gov. Henderson with his Texan force, accompanied by C. W. Kendall, was soon to march for Monterey. Of Gen.

Featherston's regiment of volunteers, 73 were sick; Col. Bailie Peyton was also sick at Burita, but not dangerously. The following extract from the correspondence of the Picayune will be read with interest: Matamoros, Jnne 12. The hospitals containing the wounded Mexicans, whom Arista left without the least means of support, present scenes of distress that can scarcely be described. Capt.

McCanet politely conducted me through several large building's that are hlledwith these wretched creatures, now left to the charity of onr army. The first man I saw was a half-breed Mexican, about forty years old, with a pleasing, good-humored countenance, walking about with both arms shot off, half way between the shoulder and elnow. His cheerful countenance and 4civil deportment won upon our feelings, and we two or three young officers were along contributed sufficient to ensure the poor fellow's comfort lor a week. No sooner did wretches around perceive these marks of compassion than most of them held out their hands for alms some pointing to their stumps of arms anil legs, and others, who did not seem to sutler much, were making wry faces expressive of more pain than they could possibly endure the rascals laughed as soon as our backs were turned. We visited be tweet- one and two hun dred of the wounded, and found them in very- possible condition.

Two of the number were Jrawing their last breath, being unconscious of pam and reduced to mere skeletons. Others, suv twenty of those we saw, were past all hope, mortification in its worst and most disgusting lorms, having taKen place. 1 nese lellow were ing there, peifectly conscious of their fate, waiting without a groan or murmur the hour of their dissolution. One man, who had lost a leg and was evidently suffering severely, was attended by a little girl about four years old. When we approached them the little crealure was ing upon an old cloak, with her head resting upon as plump and pretty a little hand as ever graced an angel She was sleeping soundly her sweet dimpled countenance, so innocent and love! contrasting strangely with that ol the fierce looking, dvmg father.

Anotlier man whose, leg was also gone, was attended by his daughter, a loveU Mexican girl of sixteen. I passed him sever. il tunes, and always saw the beautiful erea- mre bv his safe, hke a true woman, doing an ui to assuage his pain, and with a cross in tii-r tianit, wnicn sue wouiq present now ana thn to his lips, appeared directing his thoughts to another world. Most of the badly wounded had the cross and a picture of the Virgin by their and many were attended by their wives and daughters. It is believed by those bestcapable of judging of those things, that the towns between this and Monterev will form posts lor our troops in a short time.

A little more force will be required to take that place and as some 600(1 or 8000 ought to be together to take possesion of the mountain pass between Monterev and Saltillo, of course the same force will march into Monterey. Some fighting may come off at this latter place. There is a fortification which comniuods tbe town, called Bishop's Palace. This is on an eminence close bv the town, and likewise commands (he road to Saltillo; but, within the reach of six pounders, there are two other elevations which command the fortification above named. If there is any desire to fight left in the Mexican army, they will certainly meet our army at Monterey and offer a vigorous resistance the pass.

A Court of Inquiry, which convened at this place some weeks since at the request of Capt. Hardee, to examine into his conduct at the cap ture ot tiornton expedition, nas, aner cureiu 1 iniiinrv. 1 wnicn occupieu wvcin ua tliat in conduct ol that valuable omcer was deserving of the highest praise, from the beginning to the end of the tffair. was sent to France soou after graduating at West Point, by our Government, and there learned the cavalry exercise. Fort Poi.k, June 7, 1846.

It is probable that the army will march to within striking distance of the city of Mexico, if it do nut enter that city. If tien. Taylor goes as far as Saltillo, the Mexicans will assuredly be satis-i tied that further resistance will be useless. Saltillo is within oortvenient transportation distance of extensive grain growing regions. From this place to Mexico the roads are good.

To arrive at Saltillo, the army -will have to pass through Mon-; terv the road between the two places winding along a deep ravine, between two high mountains, the sides of which are steep, and covered with rock. The width of the valley varies from one to two miles. The distance is 80 miles, and the pass can be obstinately defended by good troops, with ample means. There is one farmhouse on the road, called the "Riconda." Wag- ons travel over tne road, ana mere is an aoun- 1 dance of water, contained in a natural creek, which continues along some distance near the r- 1 ti. 1 i a .1 1 iiiiu, auu lit aiuiivmi jiuuup.

be drained bv an enemv. Monterev about 310 miles from Matamoros, and -iOO from 'Camargo. 1 There is only one village between Monterey and Camargo, which is 35 miles this side of the former, and is called Caiderela, but there are occasionally ranchos along the road, and plenty of fresh beef, water and tnusquit wood, rn one in-' stance, however, it is some 120 to 27 miles between watering places, which coeld be avoided by taking some new route. This road is level, and heavv for wagons in wet weather. The distance from" Camarjo to Mier is 24 miles.

The pro-! ductions of Monterey are corn, uugar and blank-i ets, and the plapce, as to size, population, and character of the people, resembles Matamoros. Carmargo is three miles from the Rio Grande, on the Rio San Juan. From'Canvargo to Matamo-i ros it is about 110 miles, and on the enemy'w-side of the river the road is good for wagons, but on this side the road is not cut out all the way for wagons. From Reynosato Matamoros it is about 60 miles. A small detachment of the 3d Infan try went out to Reynosa, a day or two since to establish a footing there.

They will find plenty to eat and drink on tbe road. From the N. O. Tropic. General Taylor expresses the opinion that there will be no fight with the Mexican people this side of the citv of Mexico.

The reports of troops concentrating at Monterey, is not credited at Matamoros. A false alarm was raised a few--dars since at Brazos Santiago, that three hundred "Mexicans had landed at that place. The Kentucky Legion and Featherston's Regiment terned out to meet the invasion. Much confusion ensued, but the alarm turned out to be a false one. and the invading army some 300 mules.

Capt. Page is doing well, and- will te ia New Orleans iu a few davs. Maj. Armstrong and Col Mcintosh are slowly recovering. Matamoros, June 13.

We soon reached the sacred field of Palo Alto, and rode over and over the ground, the locality of every important movement being pointed out to as by parties who were engaged in the battle of the 8th. I was astonished to find so many unbu-ried bodies, and regretted, after passing some distance over the field, that I bad not formed some standard of account with reference to their numbers. There thev Ue all Mexicans, with their clothes on, as thev fell, and the wounds causing their death plainly visible, shrrVeting aad drying up in the hot sun. Their line of artillery, extending for an immense distance across the prairie, was dearly marked by a row of dead then the infantry were more scattered, but still ia heaps they were seen ia all directions over the field. The cavalry were not without their representatives; horses, and caps, and scabbards, told at many a dragoon who had suffered on the horrid altar.

Mow day June 29. Cambreleng, from the committee on Mr. Banking, reported constitutional provisions, abro- gating the present clause in the constitution, res pecting Banking, forbidding any charter hereafter to be granted for Banking purposes, but associations for such purposes may be formed under general laws. The legislature shall have no power to authorize or to sanction the suspension of specie payments by any person, association or corporation issuing batik notes, and the stockholders in every association issuing bank notes or any kind of credit, hereafter to be formed shall be individually and personally liable for the safe redemption of ail notes. All notes to be registered and full security on pledges of property given for their redemption.

After 1855, no bankers or banking associations or banks to be allowed to issue bank uotes or other evidence of debt. In 1855, all perpetual charters granted to any associations or person for banking purposes to be revoked or annulled. Mr. Russell, of St. Lawrence, dissented from the report desiring personal liabiliity to the circulation.

Mr. Cambreleng defended it. The currency had become what it never ought to be a government measure, and should be protected, and so ought all the funds deposited in the bank to be protected also. it was not intended to interfere with any existing banks or associations. Ten years hence, ia 1855, the opinion would given whether to come in as above, and he would not be drawn into a debate on the merits of the report.

The report was referred, on motion of Mr. Stanton of Albany. A resolution of inquiry was adopted as to restricting all ownerships of land to 350 acres. The committee of the whole took up the article in relation to the Governor and Lieut. Governor.

Mr. Jordan in a lengthy and able speech, opposed the motion to strike out the section requiring rive year resideirce as a qualification for the office. The debate was continued Mr. TaVlor, Shepard and Talmadge. The latter gentleman spoke at great length, ana in very earnest advo- caey of retaining the five years residence.

In his concluding, Mr. Stow, of Erie, took the floor, but no question was taken, and the Convention adjourned June 30. Reports on the rights of the citizen, by Mr. Tallmadge, of the first and second sections of the article. Reportcotrtained a Declaration of rights.

Section 3 relates to the disfranchisement of the citizen, and is but a slight modification of section 1st of the 2d article of the present Jonstitution. VV henever modified, sections are referred to they are those of article 7, of the present Constitution. Section 4. Trial by jury slightly modified. Section 5.

Excessive bail not to be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel or unusual punishments to be inflicted. This is new, and taken from the 'Const i tut ion. Section (i. Exercise of religious professions rights of conscience Sec. 4, of the present Constitution, relative to Ministers of the Jospel, their right to hold office, is omitted.
