From the Washington Union, CONTRIBUTIONS THROUGH MEXICAN PORTS. To the Secretary of the Nary : Hiu—Being charged by the constitution wiili the prosecu tion of the existing war with Mexico, I deem it proper, in the exercise of an undoubted belligerent light, to order that mili tary cpnlribultons he levied upon the enemy, in such of their ports or other places as now are, or may be hereafter, in the possession of our land and naval forces by conquest; any that the rime be collected and applied towards deb vying thd expenses of the war. As one means of effecting this object the blockade at such conquered ports will he raised, and ihe. will he opened to out own commerce and that of all neutral nations, in articles not contraband of war, during our milita ry occupation of them ; and duties on tonnage and imports will be levied and collected through the agency of our inilita ly and naval officers in command at such ports, ecling under orders from the War anJ Navy Departments. I tianamit to you, herewith for your information and guid ance, u copy of a communication addressed by me to the Sec let ary of the Treasury on the 23d instant, instructing him to examine the existing Mexican larifl*, and to report to ine, for my consideration, a scale of duties which he world recom mend to be levied on tonnage at;d imports in such conqured polls, together with such regulations cs he would propose as necessary and proper, in order to carry this policy into effect; and abo n copy of the report of the Secretary of the Treasu ry, made on the 30lh instant, in answer to my * omnunica lion to him. The scale of duties, and the regulations for their collection as military contributions exacted from the enemy, recommended by the Secretary of the Treasury in this report, hive been approved by me.

JAMES K. BULK. Washington, March, 31, 18*17. Navy Dbfartmixt, April 3, 1817. Sin—l have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your communication of the 31st March ultimo, with the pipers which accompanied it. and respectfully inform you that, utter consultation with the Hecictary of War, I have addressed to the officeis commanding the naval forces the United States in the Pacific Ocean and in the Gulf ot Mexico,, respectively, letters of instruction conforming to your directions, of which 1 herewith enclose a copy. -* 1 have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient •eivsint, J. \. MASON. To the President. NaVT D.-.PtRTXRIT. April 3, 184'/. * Pm—On the receipt of intelligence of the unlit rv con- J quest ami occupation ol California by lha forces of the United , JSiat s, Corn. Stockton, in command on that ration, was in structed, by orders from this Department under date of the ftih of November last, to admit the commerce of our own cit- ( izen* utid of neutrals, excluding; contraband, into such ports ] and pi ices as were in actual military occupation, on the pay- < ir.ent of mod'rate duties, within the limits p.resq,i i!> and by the j tariff laws of the United States. After the occupation ol Mstamoros, and subsequently of Tpmpicn, instructiot:s were ( , given in regard to the import and export trade of those places. < x)y those instructions, the import trade was confined to car- ‘ ip <s ol American bojUuir.*, which had paid duties in a custom , non e of t e Unite*! States, and which, without drawback, j < wpru ties red or transhipped to one of the ports so occupied t by our forres. Mexico >*till obstinately refuses to negotiate ‘ or the restoration of peace. The President has determined ] q place the nade of all such ports and places of the enemy, n the Pacific Ocean and the Ciilf of Mexico, as are or may he in our actud unlitny occupation, on a Sooting more fsvoi- j able to neutral commerce and better calculated to secure a contribution to bo u-ed in carrying on the war, anJ in relief < of our own Treasury.

Th© money so collected and paui over will be subject to disbursement on pub lic account for the army or navy, in the prosecution of the wur, under the direction of theolficei of the army or navy un der whose orders the d.'shuising officer may he acting. It is possible that, in the practical execution of these orders, no withstanding the care with which they have been prepar ed, you may find that modifications may he judicious in at taining the great objects in view ; if so, you will suggest them i for consideration by me Department. i ho Piesideiil directs me to impress on you, and the offi | cers under your command, his earnest desire that the duties now imposed shall he pnfoirned by the officers of the army I and navy m a spirit of cordial co-operation and good will, thai j ll collision may be avoided, and that the utmost care be ob i served to prevent confusion in the accounts. It is obviously a necessary means of giving full eff'Cl to this system, that the ports of the enemy through which supplies may enter for their conception, must, as far as piacticable, he seized and held by us. Afier the anticipated success of the j >int attack on Vera Cruz, it is expected that you will employ the forces under your command in accomplishing these üb j CtH. Yon will rigorously blockade such ports us you may not deem it he*t to capture and hold; that, excluded fmin them, lawful foreign commerce seeking ingress into Mexico may readily find admission through those ports held by us on the moderate ant! reasonable conditions imposed. Thus by holding those which can be most advantageously occupied, and blockading the other ports on the Mexican coast, the whole commerce for the supply of Mexico must pass through our jines anti pay to us the contributions which it is the purpose of the President lo exact from the enemy, who become the purchasers (ot consumption; and with the comparatively moderate duties now proposed to be collected, while we hold possession no neutral, with a lawful cargo, will probably hesitate between vuiuulary paying them and incur ring the risk attendant on an attempt to break the blockade. It i.s confidently hoped that the execution of the-e orders, promising beneficent results to commerce, and exacting from the enemy a portion of the means necessity to maintain the war. wdl not be without ils influence in impressing on them that ihe true interests of Mexico will be promoted by a speepy and honorable peace. I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant, J. Y. MAHON. To the Officer commanding the U. H. naval forces in the Gulf of Mexico. The Philadelphia “ North American,” speaking of the death of Col. Hkxiit Cur on the battle field of Buena Vis ta, alludes in the following beautiful terms to his bereaved and stricken parent at Ashland : •• Amid all the clustering honors of his elevated career, Hkmit Clay has been a man of sorrows. The affections of his home have been great as his own heart, and have yearn* and over his children with an intensity of love which only noble natures know. But ‘ Affliction seemed enamored of his parts;’ death has been busy about his hearth-stone; and one by one he hug seen many of those who so proudly claimed him a* father or grandsire taken from him. Their heritage cf love devolved upon the su vivors; and his son, who bore his name and shared his virtues, was the pride and the.glory of his hon ored oIJ age. But his country demanded that son. The struggle of the fa tier's heart must have been a mighty one; but he devoted him—as he had devoted his own lustrous hie —to his country. The heroism of Col. Chy rendered it cer tain that his career would be brilliant. out probably that it would also lx? brief. ‘ Mr. Clat seemed to frl a parental presentiment that such would he the fact. He recently left New Orleans on his return lo A Ashland, and is represented as laboring under an overshadowing despondency in r latiori to the fate of the ar my and his son. We rejoice that the unhappy tidings found him ut home and Among his kindred, all the land i* his home and every heart his kindred.) where his tears can mingle with those of the stricken partner of hia afflictions. “We dare not, even in imagination, intrude upon the scene made sficred by sorrow, yet we know enough of the hero statesman to believe that even in his hour of desolation, the pride of the patriot a|)d the parent may afford some solace, and that the sentiment cf Cato over his sacrifice w ill rise from lus heart : “• I’m satisfied ! Thanks tc the gods! my son has done his dutv. How beautiful is death when earned by virtue !

In looking into the affuirs of our county, we have examined the Book* ot Record in the Clerk* office of the Superior and Court of Ordinary, and find them neatly kept and in good order. We have also examined the Records kept by the Oleik of llie Inferior Court, and find that in the discharge of some of his du ties he ha* not been a* prompt as we expected am! hoped he would have been, therefore, we advise him in future to he more energetic and punctual in placing tfic commission* of road Commissioners in their hands, and thereby facilitate the work ing on our public roads and keeping the same in good order. \Ve find also that ihe return* of the respective Justice* of the Bence, of the number of poor children of our county have been neglected to be sent to the Executive Office, according | to law, so that we are thereby deprived of the benefit of that fund. Wo recommend the Inferior Court to lew an extra lax not to exceed 25 per cent, pursuant to nn art of the Legislature of 1813, for the education of the poor children of our rountv, and we further recommend said Court to avail themselves of the ; benefit of said act, and procure the funds appropriated by the .State for the same purpose. We also recommend said Court to lease thd Ferrv, near the town of Lanier, belonging to the county, to John for a term of yen so that he may be induced to put the same in good order, and thereby facilitate the crossing of tire river at said Ferry. We request that Mir Senator ond Repreaentatire in the next Legislature, use their exertions to procure an amendment or alteration in the present lew,organizing a Court for the Cor rection ol Errors, so * to have said Court located at the city of Macon, as we believe it would give greater facilities to the ef ficiency of said Court. We also refrnest them to make an ef fort by special act, to obtain our poor school fund for the yours 1845 and 184<>. We recommend his Honor, Jud:r© Warren, to hold nn ad journed term of this Court, say on the first Monday in July next, or some other convenient time, so that the old business wliich have been so long upon our docket may be gotten thro’ with. We congratulate our country on the reerptmn of the good’ and glorious news of the continual victories of our gallant ar my in Mexico, while ut the same time, we sympathise w ith the friends of those of our brethren that have fallen in tha battle 1 fields; we. however, indulge a hope that the recent victories of our army will hi'ing about a speedy peace. In takiuz leave of his Honor, Judge Warren, we tender him I our grateful acknowledgments for his prompt attention to the j duties that involve upon him us presiding officer of this Court, ns well an his urbanity towards us ns a body—also we tender j . i our thanks to Win.
