The answer of the Mexican Miniatrr to the
demand of the United ftlatea, founded upon Ihe
conductor Mr. GoriMtixa, ia to singular as lu re
quire a particular statement ol all Ihe facta in re
lation lu lha subject of it. Hoon after the late
Mexican Minister asked for hi* |>aai|Hiiia to return
home, after'terminal ing his extraordinary miatian,
hia last notate the department, m which his rea
sons for taking thatatep weroexpresaed. was pub
lished in New York, in the journal called the
Courier ilea Flats Unit. Thia document had ne
ver been made public by Ihe authoniy of the de
partment. Tim cxi-lenre of t pamphlet hy Mr
Gorualixa, prin'rd in Philaih-lp da in M|iani»li, bail
liren previously made known lo Ihe Meerelary ol
Mtate, by a member of Ihe diplomatic eorpa ac
eredited at Washington, who slated that l-e hail
received two enph •, and he believed that Ihe
iwaie mem.'ier ol copies had been transmitted by
the author to each member us the foreign di
plomatic, coring in Washington, etpreming al
Hie same lime, his .'.urprise and disgurt at the
grossneae as such an net by a roaring minister
One of those copies was given, on iho irqiiosl of
the Meerelary, lor the use of the Department ol
Slate. That the belief thus t.vprc rscj was well
founded, no douhl wax entertained, a* a ropy was
also procured hy one of tha ullieer! us llw Up
partnunt of State from another member of the
d'-ploinitic corps: and one wa* lent.as il was af
(erwarda discovered, to the editor ol the “(Jouricr

nsa il for eny purpose whatever. FxlrncU were
puhli lied Irorn the pamphlet in Cult paper, a«l
in several oilier m wspapers ; and I lie copy in
the hands ot Ihc editor ol the French j mi mil was
lent without scruple, on no condition, hut that,
after bein J copied, or otherwise used, it should
he leluniej. The duplieala copies sent to th*
diplomatic corps were obviously intended to give
the in •-1 extensive circulation to the mat'ers con
tained in the pamphlet; and no donlit one was
expected lo be transmitted to each Foreign Gov
ernment represen'ed in Iho United Muius, and
the other to adorn ihe archives of ns legislation in
Washington. From the equivocal circumstan
ce* under which Ihe psmpldei was prepared, and
•the asserliun contained in Hie prefaru, it was sup.
(rosed that Ihe writer sought lo evado ollieiril re
sponsibility, hy representing (he publication as
hi* (icrsonal act, thus giving lu himself and gov
ernment Ihe benefit he hoped lo derive from hi*
rlefarnat on us the United Stales, with all the
Uovarnmenla of Europe, and wirh Ins own coun
trymen among whom it waa widely dislnhuled
as noon a* he reached ihe Mexican territory, as a
include lu his last report to his own Government,
without exposing that Government to a demand
fur redress for Hie injury sought to be indicted by
its representatives. The slanders of a private
individual could be of no importance to the Uni
ted Stales, hut aa the position of Mr. Corosliza
wa* equivocal, it was denned unnecessary that
Iliio subject should he so presented to his Gov
eriimrni, th.it the distinction made between his
rets, ns n mere citizen, and as the representative
agent of Mexico, should tie marked and rrengnis-
I ed. Occasion was taken, therefore, in giving in
structions on ike lUlh ol December Ust, tu Mr.
Fibs, lo make the explanations previously prom
ised in regsiil to the movement ol Ihe troops un.
der General Gaines, lu diract him lu bung the
act of their Minister to |li« notice us I lie Mexican
Government, in these words;
“It would Ire gratifying lo Ihe Piesident if this

published extracts from it; and the I’residenl has i

Government, after an alleged delay of what I*, i
called an art of jusiic* lo their Minister, waring
lor explanation* promised hy Ihe Untied Mules,
sent a form -I appro* at ol hia conduct a* their

of Mr. Uoruatiza, with hia own Government,
whi;li he had hunt-If published tbe g-wd lailh
of ihe United Mlaiet was iiinnediaiely iiii|ie*ched,
and il was presumed that Iho puhhcaliun of hia
(raiiiphlei, and its distlihutiun, al l***t in Mexi
co, was known to his Government, il wa* ds-emed
necessary lu require from Hie Mexican authority,
a<l r*imet disavowal of that part ol his conduct
which hail been otfensiva lo the Unired Miaiea,
IVo doubt waa entertained that th* Meiican Go
vernment would, without hesitation declare lhal
ita approbation of Mr. Gorisloxn a cocduct did
not relate to preparation, or publication, or use,
of ihe defamatory pamphlet.
The answer of the Mexican Government, now
received, defends lb* conduct ot its Miniatrr. Mr.
Martinez asserts, in conformity with his instme
lions, that the Minister did nothing which was
nut required hy the dignity and interrata ot Mex
ico. Uy the note of Mr. Martinez, these fact#
ire adinuiad on the part of the Mexican Govern
rnenl; that the pamphlet waa prepared by il*
Minister, and (milled in Philadelphia, in the
Spanish language; lhal aome copies were left
to bo used in Hie United Mute-*, with a re
commendation si in the time only when they
were to ho used, -ndtho recommendation was I*
-non as ihere should Ha a publication of it in
Mexico; that the pamphlet was exlrnaivclv circu
lated or. the coaat of Mexico a*anon as he arrived;
and on hiajsurney lo the capital, hy the return
ing Envoy Extraordinary. On ihsse admiited
facta, Ihe Government declare# that Mr. Gorna.
Hz iai led ciiliformitably lo what was required by
the dignity and interest of Mexico.—Keeping
out of view, a* entirely unimportant, lha offen
sive character of Hie pninphlei, and the u-e mad*
of It in the Uniied Mules, Hi* Mexican Govern
ment has attempted argtiincnlivrly, lo prove lhal
it did not appear lhal their Mini-ter Plenipoten
tiary intended lu offend the United Mlale* or lo
jeopard his diplomatic character, hy violating ex
'ah'ishod usages.
To sustain (he first nllagalion, it ia said the
pamphlet was necessary for his vindication, in
relaliisfl tea past trsmaiclion—a negotiation not
pending, inasmuch as hi* mission waa ivnnina
terl; that it was in the Spanish language if il
had been intended offensively it would have been
piinteil in English, for cirCUlaiit’ll ttl l ''.,,} me
people of the Uniied Sta’os; and that he did not
circulate il among Ilia colleagues ol the diplomatic
body bocansa ho did not rend il to them officially,
or confidentially, with an explanation of his ob
ject. The character the production, and the
use made of the copies left—with the recommen
dation as lu time, arc, unfortunately, the la st evi
dence - f t|icinlciiiinn|ot the author. The pamph
let is n labored effort to prove that tha United
-Slates, for a series of years, sought unjustly to
obtain possession of Hie territory belonging to a
friendly power, till the year iBIH, when the Exe
cutive ot ihc United Mlalcs pretending lu nothing
lint what was reasonable, Ihe Florida treaty was
negotiated, the negotiators being both men ol
(alcms and good faith; that KiihsequeiHly to that
Ireatry, the want of good faith ami integrity pro
duced new pretexts to acquire possession of the
ii-riilorv, that protended el-iirn to which they had
thereby abandoned; (bat while Ihe Government
fostering ihe sinister design of violating alt the ar
ticle* of their Irealy with Mexico, the President
and all his minislers’wcre pouring into (ho cars of
(he Mexican Envoy Extraordinary protestations
of alfeclion far his Government, and of strict neu
trality in the Texan contest; that this Govern
ment was destitute of good failli, and Hint the
people m mass, with the exception of a minute
Iticli -n, described ns belonging lo tho school ol
Washington and Madison, were necessarily
ignorant ; and, ha* ing every thing in then
power eould he blindly led hy disnnncsl, gree
dy, unprincipled, and, consequently, unbridled
11,driers, whenever they pleased. The as
serliun that such a pamphlet was nut inten
ded to offend Hie United M ales, is so extraor
dinary that it is to he hoped, that the Mexi
can Government haa omitted to examine il.
Siteh a declaration, in regard lo its intentions,
cannot otherwise In* rationally accounted for, un
less ii he supposed that the Government means to
make this singular dis inrli-m, that a production
intended In impeach the diameter of a Govern
merit and people, for honor and good faith, and
to degrade (hern in Ihe ryes of the world, was
nnl intended lo utfend The argumentative de
nial of ihe act ol sending this defamatory pamph
let to foreign minisCrs, that the calumny against
this Govvrnmenl and people might be nude
known lo all Ihe GovainineiiU with whom they
hold diplomatic intercouise, ’which has been
made for Mr. Gorosliza. amounts In this ; that he
did not send copies to them at all, because be did
nut send them with an official explanation. He
left them here lu ho used—sent to foreign Minis
ter!. It is for the Envoy Extraordinary to ex
plain how they came there. His G irerninent
which has approved his conduct as conformable
to its dignily and interests, is responsible to those
whose honor is involved in tho inquiry.—Tint
contents of the pamphlet show, also, Hint the in
lentlon of il was not self-vindication. The res
ponsibility of the author for the art on which it
is alleged he designed to enlighten his country,
was to his Government, a id through il lo the peo
ple of Mexico. His pamplel is written for all
places, anil for all tune*; a part is specially lor the
meridian »l the United Mtates, as will sati.-faelori
ly appear by a reference to its content*. Dot il
is also said Hut it related lo past transactions—
nut secret, as surne us Hie correspondence had
been ma le public. A part of ihe correspondence
between the two Governments had b -an publish
ed by the Untied Mlalcs, In addition lo the resi
due of that cori.vp.mdriiee. the pamphlet cen
tains Ihe Envoy’# extracts from tire aceiet and
confidential Idlers lo his own Government, in
which he rails in question the good faith of th*
Government of tho United Stales, Hia extraei
ilinary mission was terminated hy the act of the
Envoy, hut he was still in the enjoyment of hia
diplomatic privilege*, and the subject as which he
wrote was then pending with his Government.
Alter hi# return. Hut Government looked for ex
planations which had been promised by the Uni
ied Mtatos, ami rompl-iinod they were not rccived;
which explanations, having been delayed by ac
cident, were subsequently given to il.
The ronducl of this Extraordinary Envoy is
also alledged to have been conformable lo diplo
matic usage ; anil two invlaner* are brought for
ward to sanction this allegation, assumed to exist
in tho history of the diplomacy of the United
Mistes. It is asserted in (he note of Mr, Marti
nex that the (Commissioner* of the United State*
published their correspondence pending the ne
gotiation at Ghent. During a war with Great

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17,1837.
1 Mr. CaUwun.appearcd in the Senate today, and
‘ took his seat. He appeared lo ba in excellent
health.
I After aome unimportant business,petitions and
memorial* weie called for from Ihe different
Slates. Mr. Walirfrom New Jersey (V. B.)
, presented a memorial from sundry citizens of
I New Jersey remonstrating against the annex*-
' tion of Texas to Ihe Union, and moved lo lay it
on the table, Mr. Preston instantly rose, and
. condemning in the strongest terms the e(forts of
‘ political fanatics to force the subject on the at
tention of Congress, gave notiee that he would,
si an sarly day, introduce a measure lor the an
nexation of Texas lo the Union. He fell com
i pellrd, he sa : d, to lake this course in consequence
i of the conduct of certain gentlemen here, and of
I their constituent*. The memorial was laid on
the table.
Mr. Wall then presented a petition praying for
ike kbolilion of slavery in the District of Colum
| bit. Mr. Grundy immediately moved to Uy it on
the table; but withdrew it at the request of Mr.
City of Ky., w’o rose tu enquire of Mr. Wslb
and other Menatuis from those Stale* whence the
most of these petitions proceeded, whether the
feeling in relation to this exciting subject was not
on the increase in those Stales—whether that
feeling was confined to Ihe District of Columbia
or extended to other object*—whclher, especially,
many person* hid nut been drawn into this busi
nee* of applying te Congress, by the idea that
Ihe right of petition hail been invaded by the
couroo pursued el the last session in relation to
1 these petitions!
Mr. Clay declared that his opinion was known
and unchanged, that Congress ought not tu grant
Ihe prayer of the petitioners; but ho thought it
waa a matter deserving weighty consideration,
whether to refer the petitions to the Committee
on the District of Columbia, and from them ob
tain a report, was not better calculated to calm the
public mind, and produce that harmony and
tranquility ao much lo he desired.
In reply to this appeal, Meaara. Wall of N. J.,
Swift and P'enlie* of Vt., Niles ot Conn., Davis
of Ms . 11 >*rd and Pierca of N. 11. auccce
l lively .and the substance of their testimony
, wss, (hat the feeling on tho subject was on the
j increase, and that one of the most productive can.
' sos of that increase was, in their opinion, the
course us the majority at the last session, which
was viewed hy their constituents as entirely pron
(rating a high constitutional right —the right*/
petition. This was the burden of (heir evidence,
mixed up with a great deal of associated nutter,
suggested by the remark of the Southern Senator.
; who took part in the debate. The diveusaion was
long and animated.
Mr. Calhoun Heated with scern the idea of
arguing the question with the AMilionials by
way of a report. The cause of the growth Os
I the feeling existing in (lie Noith, wss deeper than i
that gentleman leprn-enled. It originated in th I
wildcat fanaticism, that tel all law and roDsltlu. ,
' tional restni-iions at defiance. It must be met in
v hmme, instead of confession, the most uncampro
mising opposition ought lo be nude te it. It wa
the only question lint rould de.troy the Union
ti was potent rib-eg!, fin that. He would i<-t.
Sire joint rule rs both House*, prohibiting the
introduction of all petitions for abolition In ihe
Distiirt of Columbia, that were not signed exclu
sively by citizens of the District.
Mr. King of Alabama thought the course adop
ted at the last session ought to be persisted in—
raise the question on the reception, and then
promptly lay that question on the table. Mr.
King said Ihe excitement in Ihe North wea pro
moted by political agitator.; and referring lo a
remark of Mr. Swift, that the feeling on Ihe aub.
ject of ihe right of petition was participated by
men es all parlies, he declared that the South
would know no parties on this question; but all
would unite to defend their rights.
Mr. Davis of Mass., contravened this statement
of Mr. King, and contended that Abolition was
never made a political question until it waa made
so in Congress.
Mr. Rives of Ve., argued for the'propriety of
the course hitherto pursued, e* staled hy Me.
King. He referred to of the Select
Committee of the House, of which Mr. Pinckney
was chairman, and said it had done no good.
Mr. Preston spoke with great eloquence. He
urged strongly the consideration that Mr. Pinck
ney’a report had contributed to yon the/lame of
faualiciom. The attempt* at conciliation had
failed; and now another measure ought to be re
sorted 10. The doers of Congress ought to be
closed entirely against the Abolitionist*. He
maintained that the right of petition would not te
touched by such a course.
Mr. Culhbut of Ga., took the same ground, and
further remarked, that Mr. Clay’s courae was cal
culated lo disturb the calm which the former
course of the Senate had produced in this body on
the subject.
Mr. Clay reminded the Senator of Georgia,
• hat in* calmness existing in the Senate did not
prevail m (he country: and hi* object waa to
adopt such a course as would continue us in the
condition of a united, prosperous and fraternal
people. The course proposed was contrary to
his notions of the right of petition. He thought
Senators went too far in saying the present was
not a case for argument. He thought a success,
ful appeal to the reason and deliberation of most of
the petitioners could Ito made, which would sep
arate the candid, reflecting, and patriotic from
the mere fanatic ami intermeddling portion. He
adhered lo his opinion that a report would be
beneficial.
Mr. Calhoun replied. He acknowledge! the
sincerity, and patriotism of Mr. Clay—but differ
ent with him entirely on the mode of treating the
petitioner*. He said with emphasis, that he car
ed not how his course might cflcct the North.
.He gave that section up. But he was anxious to
keep the keenest sensibility of the South awaken,
cd to these attacks. He considered the present
a question involving the existence of the white
people of the South ; and also Ihe existence of this
union ; and the South ought to have made this
issue at once. Ho acted on no sectional ground,
but ho was anxious to promote the union of the
South on this question.
Mr. Clay rejoined. He said lie too was anx
ious to promote union —not however, the union
of a section—but the whole union of these slate-,
one and indtviaildo. Hu did not look only at tho
■ection from which he came. He wished lo
tranquilise every part of the country. He regrel
ed to differ from a gentleman for whose abilities
be bad so high a respect as ho had for those of Mr.
Calhoun; and thought an appeal to the enlight
ened opinion of the North would not be unsuc
cessful. No ground had yet been lost by argu
ment, Mr. Clay said bo indulged no desponden
cy about a dissolution of ihe union—but that, if
Mr. Calhoun, instead of a joint jule prohibiting
the introduction of these petitions, would propose
a joint rule that any member who speaks of dis
union shall be instantly called to order, he weuld
concur in such a motion.
Mr. Calhoun said in reply that there were
aome cases in regard lo which were we lo reason
we would destroy the moral instinct of out na
ture ; and the proposition for the abolition Os
slavery in this District was one of them. He il
lustrated the idea at length.
Mr. Clay remarked that the cases adduced by
Mr. Calhoun, such as a memorial for abolishing
the Christian's Religion were not in point because
Congress had clearly no power even the subject.
But a majority of the Senators thought Congress
possessed power ever this subject ot abolition in
the District us Columbia.
This debate I will notice again. The question
on the reception was laid un the table by a vote
of Ayes 25 nays 21.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19th, 1837,
The subject of Abolition of Slavery and the
Slave trade in the District of Columbia, and the
annexation of Texas, were again brought up in
ihe Sbxatk to day, by the presentation, by Mr.
Swift of Vermont, of a report and resolutions
adopted by Ihe Legislature of that State, protest,
ing against the snnexation to the Union of Tex
as, or any state whose constitution tolerates the
existence of Domestic Slavery : affirming the
power of Congress lo legislate on the subject of
Slavery in this District, and in the Teriitories of
the United States ; and instructing the Senators,
and requesting the Representatives of Vermont,
to carry into effect, by all means in their power,
this Report and these Resolutions.
Mr. King of Alabama, demanded the question
of reception. Mr. Calhoun moved to lay that
question on the table ; and thereupon arose a long
and desultory discussion, which was principally
confined, however, to the effect of the motion lo
lay on Ihe table the question of reception. At
last, at the suggestion of Mr. Clay, the Repor 1
and Resolutions were withdrawn by Mr. Swift,
who gave notice that he would present them
again on Tuesday.
The States were then called in their order for
petitions and memorials.
Mr. Wright ofN. Y. introduced a Bill for com
pelling the Banks of (he District of Columbia, to
resume specie payments in January, 1838. This
was read twice, and referred to the Committee of
the Finance.
The Senate then went into Executive nusmess,
In the House, Mr. Evarett of Vermont, who
■ had been appointed to fill the vacancy occasion
ed hy Mr. Fletcher declining to aerve on the
Committee of Way* and Means, said, that after
what had occurred the other day, when Mr.
Fletcher waa attacked by hi* la's colleague*, he
could not consistently, with his friendship and
respect tor lhat gentleman, accept the a, point
mem: and he, therefore, asked that the House
would excuse him from serving on that Com
mitter.
j The House did excuse him.
j The President's Massage was then taken up
in Commutes of the whole, for the purpose ol
re etienre to Ihe different Blending Commit!***,

Mr. Duncan o! Ohio oddrcsucd the House in »up

Holley ol Georgia, on the oamc aide. Neither of
these gentlemen offered any satisfactory reaaon*
for pulling the great question of the country— »•

Mr. Williams, the now Representative from
Tennessee, mode an admirable speech in reply ;
and he was followed by Mr. Cushing of Mass,
who took an extensive review of the experiments
of the Administration, and the history of the last
few years : and concluded with offering a series
of resolutions, declaring that the influence of the
Executive, has for some years past, been increas
ing, and ought to be diminished : and that those
parts of the Mossoge relating to the Finances,
ought to bo referred to a select Conrtnitiee, with
instructions to report such measures as should
lend to secure the liberties, and promote the pros
perity of the country.
The Committee then, on motion of Mr. Un

leave to sit again; and the House then adjourn

THE subscriber takes this method to inform the
patrons and friends oft he Wesleyan Mansion H
School, mid the public generally, that he has H
brought that schuol to a close, and taken charge of
a new institution, lately established at Williams H|
Cross Roads six miles below Watkinsville, in Clark iiv
county This determination has not been induced :;
by a want nl patronage to the Wesleyan Alansion ; ;C
, lui, in that respect, it has been sustained beyond
the exjiociations ot its proprietor; but hy a deltber- ®
ato conviction, that in Farmers' Academy, under H
■ls present prudent arrangements, Ihe subscriber .f
will bs able to do a larger amount of good, with p
more pleasure and profit to himself, than ho has
been able to da, in Alonroc. The new institution i
will consist of two brunches in separate houses, one
li.r males, and the other lor females. A competent
female teacher will be employed, to conduct the jS’
female branch, under the direction of the principal H
! teacher ; but the advanced classes in that branch. .H
will make their recilaliona to the principal. The '* H
two Academies are located at a short distance from
eacholber, and the teacher’s dwelling centrally be- 'MI
tween them ; and it is believed that such measures
have been adopted as will secure the advantages, *0
without Ihe disadvantages, of a mixed school. All S
the principal vices, and fashionable extravagancies |n
ol town and village schools, are effectually exclud
ed from this cslabllshnient. The Acauemy is tur- H
nished with an extensive Chemical, Philosophical ,
and Astronomical apparatus, together w.th a nuta- ■
her of large and elegant maps, and other facilities
fur the promotion ol education. In view of the lo
cality of Farmers Academy situated as it is in one
of the must pleasant ami healthful sections of tho up
country, together with its olhe. advantages, the sub
ecriber does not hesitate to promise to pupils, a lar
ger amount of benefit than he has been able hereto- ■
lure to give them. Every precaution that a prudent
forethought has suggested, has been taken, to throvy
around the morals of pupils tho strongest and most
effectual safeguards. All the branches (both solid
and ornamental) of a liberal and extensive educa
tion, will bo taught in this institution, and at mode- 9
rale prices. Boarding may be had at the Academy
and within the distance of one mile from it, in tho
most respectable tainihes, for eight dollars, or less,
per month.
Persons wishing further information, will pleasa
address to the subset iber, at his present residence.
until C hnstmas-, and after that lime, at Williams
Cross Roads, Clark county. The Academy is ex
pected to open on tho first Alonday in January next;
and it is very desirable that pupils, designed lor this
school, should bo present at the commencement
the year. Their advancement, as well as our cun- ■
vemence, would thereby bo promoted. fl
