The wound he received in his leg at the storming of Monterey, is still painful, and disables him fur the present from active service. The news brought to Saltillo, at different times, that the Mexicans were ap proaching in lorce, kept the American troops in an almost constant stale of preparation for defence. On these occasions General But ler, who commanded the garrison, felt too i much zeal to remain quiet—and his activity in superintending everything, irritated his wound and made it worse; he is now unable to move on his feet without the aid of a crutch, lie is <*n his way to Kentucky, in hopes that his native air will have a salutary effect on his wound. We hope, for his own gratification and for the :ake of the country, that he will soon be able to rejoin the army in Mexico.”’ f.alrht from Canipcaolij. LOSS OF i’HE BRITISH STB A MER TWEED —SIXTY LIVES LOST. The Yucatan schooner Atrevida, Captain Zanchez, arrived at New Orleans from C..m peachy, having sailed on the UJrii February. A letter has been received by her from a commercial house at Campeachy, announc ing that news reached that city the evening, oi the 17th of the loss of the British roval mail steamer Tweed. She was lost on the 12th of February, on the north-east end of the A lac runes, and sixty persons were drown ed. The Tweed left Havana on the 9th nit. for Vera Cruz and Tampico. Expeditions were sent from Campeachy to her assistance. The letter received N. Orleans says that Com. Conner ‘‘hadalso sent to Laguna for a steam er,” but the purport is not very intelligible. ’l'he Alacranea lie about seventy miles from the coast us Yucatan, directly north of Me rida. Tlic Three JJsllion Kill. The three million bill (without the restric tion against slavery mi any territory which may be acquired from Mexico) has become a law, but in a form different from what was originally proposed; and, as the act is one of considerable importance, we have thought it proper to place before our readers at once a copy of it, as follows: An art appropriating three millions of dollars, to enable the President to conclude a treaty of peace and limits with Mexico. lie it enacted by the Senate and House. of Representatives if the United Stales of America in Congress assembled, Thai whereas a slate I of war now exists between the United States and the Republic of Mexico, which it is de sirable should be speedily terminated upon terms just and honorable to both nations; and whereas assurances have heretofore been given to the Government of Mexico that it was the desire of the President to settle all questions between the two countries on the most liberal and satisfactory terms, accord ing to the rights of each and the mutual in terests and security of the two countries; and whereas the President may be able to con clude a treaty of peace with the Republic of Mexico prior to the next session of Congress, if means for that object are at his disposal; and whereas, in the adjustment of so many complicated questions as now exist between the two countries, it may possibly happen that an expenditure of money will be called fur by the stipulations of any treaty which may be entered into; therefore the sum of three millions of dollar? be, and the same is hereby appropriated, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, to ena ble the President to conclude a treaty of j peace, limits, and boundaries with the Re public of Mexico, to bo used by him in the event that said treaty, when signed by the authorized agents of the two Government's, and duly ratified by Mexico, shall call for the expenditure of the same, or any part thereof; full and accurate accounts of which expenditure shall be by him transmitted to Congress at as early a day as practicable.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 3 —Cotton.— Arrived since the 261 h ultimo, 9,948 bales. Cleared in the same time 9.G55 bales— making an addition to stock of 263 bales, and leaving on hand. inclusive of all on shipboard not cleared on the 2d inst., a stock of 232.251 bales. A Her receipt of the Cambria’s accounts there was some inquiry, but buyers generally claimed some concession in their favor, which, however, was resisted on the part of holders; and indeed there appeared to be but a moderate supply offering, as many parlies were disposed to await the more full details which would b* afforded by their cor respondence. The market, therefore, presented rather a firm aspect, in whic h it is aided by a ma t-rial falling off in tiie receipts, as compared with the same period last year. The sales yesterday were 25t)U bales, at prices which show no quotable change since our last report, though it should per haps be remarked that the grades above Good Mid dling. being comparatively scarce, are generally held somewifait above our figures. The total bu siness of the three days sum up 5500 bales, taken for France, the Continent and the North, with a small portion for England. NEW-OK LE ANS CLASSIFICA FI ON.
