Interesting Instance of Sagacity and
Devotion in a Dog.—Yesterday morning, the
dogof a poor blind man, whom we have noticed
in another column, gave a prootot intelligence
and attachment to bis master which strnek us
as exceedingly interesting. The animal had
crossed State-street, and the old man was
following in his steps, relying implicitly on the
sagacity ot his canine friend forsafely. At this
momenta carriage turned the corner at a mode
rate trot, but in a direction which threatened
to bring it into dangerous contact with the old
man’s person. The watchful animal, the mo
ment he espied this, sprang towards thecarriage
at a bound, and seizing a spoke ot one of the
wlieels tn his teeth was thrown over and over
several times during its revolutions. The blind
man escaped unhurt. In a human being such
an act would have been termeed heroic— if any
human being would have dune as much. But
dogs have had their day, and though they make
excellent leaders lor the blind, those blessed
withsightdo not appreciate their qualities.—

- jj-The route from Chagres to Panama across
the Isthmus has recently been traversed by Mr.
Jewett, a newly appointed Chargeol the United
States. The distance is sixty-five miles in all,
and (he journey of the most interesting descrip
tion. From Gorgona to Panama th- road is a
merebtidle path through the lores’. Mr.Jewett,
in a letter seen by the editor of the Union, de
scribes the forest as one continued and most
magnificent green-house—more beautiful than
any he had ever seen cultivated by the hand ot
man in the United States. He regrets that he
could not have been a week, instead of a day,
in making the passage. Many of the trees were
bearing fruit, growing in the most luxuriant
manner. The forest bordering on Chagres river
is very beautiful. He never had travelled a
distance of sixty-five miles which afforded so
much to interest and excitea stranger as the
route from Chagres to Panama.
Mr. Jewett thinks it important for the govern
ment to assist in establishing a line of commu
nication between the Pacific and the United
States by this route, to facilitate inter-communi
cation between the Pacific squadron and the
head of the Navy Department.—-V. (>. Pic.
Perpetual Motion.— The Pittsburg Gazette
having seen a new invention, called a “Caloric
Engine,” invented by Col. Boone, of New York,
says it is a very curious, indeed, wonderful ma
chine, yet perfectly simple, and if it is not ;>rr
petual motion, it is motion perpetually continued.
The power is applied by the expansion and con
traction of a liquid (oil or mercury) contained
in a metal globe, from the ordinary changes in
the atmosphere. This expansion an-1 contrac
tion moves a piston rod, which runs in a cylin
der; this piston rod winds up a spring, which,
moved thus, becomes a constant propelling pow
er. As the machine is so constructed that it
winds up the spring whether it expands or con
tracts, die power is perpetually perpetuated.—
An engine ofthis kind, of fifty horse power, is
at present constructing in New York.
A Sensible Horse.—One of the truck
horses ofMr. Hinds was unloosed for a minute
or two, from the truck, a tew days since, in
this city, when on the diiver looking armtn-l
for him, behold he was missing. I: was an
hour or two before bis driver could discover hi
whereabout. It was very mysterious, he being
a steady beast, and not subject to flights ot
I fancy. However, he was at last found in the
smith’s shop, where he was wont to have his
shoes repaired. The smith said the horse en
tered and took the usual stand for shoeing.
Upon examining bis feet he found one shoe
off, which hesupplied. That horse is a sensi
ble beast.— N. Y. Mirror.

State Elections.
Kentucky;—ln Kentucky the election for
Congressmen has resulted in the choice of
seven Whigs—J. H. McHenry, Henry Grider,
James F. Bell, Bryan R. Young, George R.
McKee, W. P. Thomasson and Garret Davis;
and three Democrats—Lynn Boyd, Richard
French and J. W. Tibbats—a Whig gain of
two members; the delegation last year was
equally divided. The Legislature is Whig.
North Carolina.—Three AVhigs and six
Locoloco Congressmen have been elected. The
Whigs are J. Graham, I). M. Baringer
and A. Dockery, and the Democrats D. S. Reid,
J. C’ Dobbin, J. J. McKay, J. li. J. Daniel,
Asa Briggs, and H. S. Clarke. Last year the
delegation stood 4 Whigs and 5 Locos.
Tennessee.—The Nashville papers of the
9th instant give a few returns which are not
very favorable. Davidson county gave a Whig
gain of some 20 votes over the last Presiden
tial vote; Robertson, same as last year; Wilson
Whig loss of 276; Rutherford, Joss of 30; Bed
ford, loss ol 50; Williamson, loss of 200 to
300; Sumner, gain 71; Giles, loss 94 ; iMatiry
gain 87.
The editor id’ the Louisville Journal gives
up the State. The Nashville Whig says—
Thus far the news is decidedly unfavorable
to the Whigs. Mr. Clay’s majority over Mr.
Polk in the whole State, was only 113 votes.
Mr. Foster has already fallen behind Mr. Clay’s
majority five or six hundred votes, and should
the returns from a few more counties continue
to exhibit a corresponding loss on the part of
the Whigs, the general result will prove unfa
vorable lor them beyond a doubt.
Mr. P. Gentry is elected to Congress from the
7tn district and D. J. Peyton from the Bth.
Both of these gentlemen are Whigs.
The AVhigs have elected Crozier overßlack
well in the Knoxville district which is a Whig
gain. A. Johnson, Dem., re-elected in
the first district.
Alabama.—We have at last sufficient re
turns to settle the result in this Stale. Martin,
the independent candidate, has been elected
Governor by a very decided majority.
The Congressional ticket is just as it was
last year, except that the Whig this year is
from the second instead ol the fiist district.
Felix Grundy McConnell, the blackguard of
lhe last Congress, also ran as an indepen
dent candidate against lhe regular nominee,
and has succeeded, and what we regret
in his success is, that it has been accom
plished by Whig votes, who excuse themselves
for it by saying he was the lesser of the two evils!
Good heavens! what could have been the cha
racter of his opponent? Better we think r.ot to
have voted at all, than vote for such a contempti
ble blackguard as McConnell.
The following is lhe result:
First District, Dargan elecled.

Third '■ Yancey “
Fourth “ Payne by 2000 maj.

Mr. McAllister
Is said to have declared in his speech at the In
dian Springs, on the 26th July last, that
is in favor of the D'otocra'ic policy of 1839,
and of reviving Me Zitw liial near in relation
to the. Central Bank.”
This is an important admission on the part of
the Democratic candidate for Governor, and it
therefore behooves the voters of Georgia, in or
der to cast their votes advisedly, to inquire
what the policy of the parly in reference to th ’*
Central Bank was in 1839. To those who read !
ourreview of Democratic financiering in reply
to the Constitutionalist, a short lime since, that
policy must already be familiar, ft has not
been and will not be denied, that prior to 1839
tht issues of the Bank were at parallover the
State, for the simple reason, that it paid specie
lor its bills. In the winter ot that year, the De
mocratic party, having a large majority in the
Legislature, determined to repeal the salutary
clause in the charter, which prohibited its issue
of bills to a greater amount than it had specie
and. specie funds in its vaults, and substituted a
clause that the directors have the power to issue
bills to twice the amount ot the capital of the
Bank, including as capital the notes, bonds and
other evidences ot debt belonging to the Bank,
meae-iire be
came a law lhe Bank suspende'u-spe ( :‘ c pay
ments, and flooded the country with its irre--,
deemable bills! The immetbiatc consequence
ot which was, a depreciation of its bills, which
resulted in great loss to the bill holders. The
people who suffered from this grand experi
ment ot Democratic financiering, cannot have
forgotten the disastrous consequences of that
measure—and they must recollect equally well,
that to the Whigsare they indebted for a system
oflegisiation which restored, under the admin
istration of Gov. CYawford, the credit of lhe
bills of the Central Bank. But, say the Demo
cratic organs and politicians, Gov. Crawford
only executed the laws which were made by
Democratic legislators! Then, where and
what are those laws? Point to them on the
statute book—show by the record that you are
entitled to lhe merit of restoring the credit either
of the bills ot the Central Bank or the State
bonds. But we are digressing from our pur
pose, which was to ask the intelligent and re
flecting volets ot Georgia, it they are wil
ling to confide ths helm ot State to the
hands of Mr. McAllister, who is said to
have declares! so recently that he approved
of the disastrous policy ol the Legislature
• of 1839? Are yot willing to place in 01,
, flee one who will tend the influence ot his place
. to restoretfi.’disastrous legislation ot that year?
Do you desire fosse the country again fl soiled
1 with an irredeemable, non-spseie-naying eur
' renev, upon v- hiebthe great mass of the honest
. yeomanry of the. State must submit to enormous
- sacrifices and heavy losses? Are you in favor
1 of biinaiozback uy.in yourselves and the whole
people of Georgia, such a disastrous state of
■ things as was produced by the act of 1839? li
■ so,then it will be yanr duty, as it will be your
1 pleasure to vote f>-.MeAlli- eg wire, i-said
- tohavedeclarcdhii.se in favor ol that ill ad
r vised measure.
, People of Georgia, you are deeply interested
in this matter, and it behooves yon to act intel
ligently upon a question involving such im-
portant interests. You havenow in the Execu
tive Chair George W. Crawford, a public
officer faithful, hones! and capable, who has
through a long public career shown himself
: sound to tliccore in all matters pertaining to the
currency—who has redeemed the credit of your
State—and whose administration, in the opin
ion of all impartial observers, is regarded fault
less. In him you can safely confide! Will
you then sacrifice such a man as Gov. Crawford
to place in power one who avows the opinions
Mr. McAllister is said to have expressed in his
Indian Spring speech? We th in knot—we had
almost said we know not!
The News from Mexico.
• In another column will be found copious de
tails of the late Mexican news by the Water
Witch at New Orleans, for which we are in
debted to the “ Picayune" and “ Courier.” The
following extracts from Commercial letters to
houses in N. Orleans will be read with interest:
Veka Cruz, August 4, 1845.
The differences existing between the United
States and this country occupy at present the
public mind, and may eventually lead to war,
tor which purpose this government asked an ap
propriation ol $'15,000,000. Permission has
been granted to contract a loan to that amount.
It will be very difficult, however, to raise that
sum. We are therefore still in hopes that the
difficulties in question will be peaceably ad
justed and the commercial intercourse remain
undisturbed.
August 5.
Although our government has communicated
to the Chambersadeclarationof waragainst the
United States, yet it appears that no such for
mal step will be taken, but measures will be
adopted lo raise and equip a sufficient force to
march upon Texas, and lo do the utmost to re
conquer that lerritory. above' intimation
was accompanied by another one, asking from
the Chambers to authorise the Executive to raise
a loan which would produce $15,(XX),000, cash,
to enable it to aet with energy.
* “As far as we know, it was likely that the
demanded authorisation to contract the loans,
either national or foreign, would be granted.
About the new tariff, we are still in uncer
tainty when it may be published.—The two
Chambers are in strong opposition respecting
some additions made to the basis, by lhe Senate
bending to protect National Industry, to the great
detriment ot foreign commerce.
The fearot war with your country ora block
ade by an American fleet, has caused some lit
tle activity in trade, more so In the interior, and
prices of sundry articles have improved; but in
general business continues dull.
Democratic Management.
In our last, says the Southern Recorder, we
brought before the country the subject ol the en
tire absorption of the State Treasure, and fur
thermore notified lhe people of the deficit of
some three or four hundred thousand dollars,
which would have to come out of their taxes
herealter, to make good that deficit—all based
upon the report of the late Commission, which
a few weeks ago adjourned their arduous and
protracted labors. We desire this week again
to advert to the subject, and lo enter a little more
into details than we did in our last.
Before doing this, however, we would refer to
a misapprehension which may very naturally
have been taken up, from an incidental remark
ol ours in relation lo the Railroad, it would
naturally enough seem even to ourselves, upon
reference to 6ur language, that we had limited
the amount of piiijic wmiicy expended on this
work to 8750,000. This is not so. The main,
indeed the only object in our mind in writing
the article, was simply to inform the people,
that according to the report alluded to, the
whole capital of the Slate was absorbed, and
that a deficit of between three and four hundred
thousand dollars would haveyet to be provided,
to rreet the Slate liabilities. How this was
done, we felt, devolved not on us, surely, but
specially on those who did it. The control of
lhe State having been in the hands of eur oppo
nents during the whole spending period, with
he exception of one year, it was for those who
had disposed of this public treasure, to show
to the country-the objects to which it had been
applied, and to appeal to its goed sense and
justice, fora verdict either for or against the
propriety ot such disbursements. In throwing
in the Railroad, it was rather an incidental aid
in this behalf, to those whose proper ditty it is
to make the exhibits, rather than to carry out
any part of lhe primary object we had in view
in the article we threw before the people. We
lake the earliest occasion to say, that in leav
ing on the tnind of any the impression, (which
we are free lo admit, the rather careless ver
biage of our paragraph may very readily have
done,) that $750,001) was all that had been paid
out ot the State treasure towards the Railroad,
would be leaving altogether an erroneous im
pression. About this amount ol Railroad
scrip was taken up by lhe Central Bank, but of
the L»gis/a/w rfrains on the Bank, to which, we
likewise referred, there was probably as much
more than this amount applied to the same ob
ject. Os the public treasure, altogether, per
haps one million and a half went towards the
Slate Road; and we are happy lo correct, and
at once, any misapprehensions on this point,
which we are informed have been, and which
we very readily perceive, may have been taken
up, from our rather careless paragraph on this
incidental topic.
We stated in our last, that taking from the
year 1837 to the year 1841 inclusive, lhe capi
tal of the Centra! Bank was reported as amount
ing to two millions eight hundred and thirty
eight thousand nine hundred and ninety-three
! dollars and forty-four cents, exclusive of the
surplus revenue fund, which had been received.
Add this revenue surplus, which was one mil
lion an 1 silty-one thousand four hundred and
twenty-two dollars and nine cents, and we have
of capital belonging to Georgia three millions
L eight hundred and ninety' thousand four hundred
’ and fifteen dollars. A very large Treasury, as
all will be ready to admit. Now, we state, that
the late investigation has found as the result of
their labors, that the whole of this amount has
been absorbed, and that an actual deficiency ol
between ihree and four hundred thousand dol
lars will have to be raised by taxation, or other
wise, to meet the liabilities which have been
left on the State.
With the exception of one year, as we have
stated, the drains on the public treasure tall at
lhe door of our opponents; for they have had
the control ot the Governinentduring this whole
exhausting period, with the exception ol the
year 1840. With the exception ot this year,
therefore, and its drains on the Treasury, our
opponents are accountable for all beside. Let
us look at some of these drains on the public
treasure:
Th<’*L?“islature jiiritM; J drafted on it for 3396.090
do 1838, do 491.000
do 1839. do 513 000
do 1840, do 405.000
do 1841, do 226,000
There has likewise been a further drain by
lhe sale of Bank Stock of $262,000.
Here are drains by the wholesale; and it be
hooves our opponents, at the very earliest mo
ment, to explain to the people theobjects of such
drafts from the public treasure of the country,
as well as the others which have left us without
a treasury and in debt; and to take theirverdict
on their utility or lhe reverse. It is sufficient
for us, that we have started the inquiry, by in
forming the people of the grand result ol the la
bors ol the late Commission, which has labori
ously and, we presume, honestly examined into
the condition of the finances ol the State. That
Commission has left, as their well considered
judgment, from lhe best examination they can
give the matter, with all lhe means ot arriving
at acorrect judgment before them—this commis
sion, we sav, has made this judgment on the
whole matter, viz: that the whole capital of the
State has been absorbed, and that there is a de
ficit of between three and four hundred thousand
dollars, which must be made up by taxes, or
otherwise, to meet the liabilities left upon lhe
State.
Here is the result of the grand financial skill
ot ouropponents, who have had lhe whole thing
in their hands since 1833, with the exeeption of
the year 1840, and the last Legislature. Is
such financial policy and ability as this to be
continued on the country, or is it not? is lhe
question for the people. That the financial po
licy oi the last Legislature requires any vindi
cation at our hands, none can imagine, it tri
umphantly speaks for itself, and has spoken
home to the people. The financial policy of the
remaining Whig year, that of 1840, will de
ma .1 a passing commentary, to remind the
people likewise ot its sound and wholesome
character. But wc have sufficiently extended
this article lor this week, and shall defer our
exposition of this year of Whig rule, in regard
lo its financial legislation, till anotheroccasion.
In the meantime, we call upon our opponents
to show the wisdom of their disbursements of
the public treasure for the long period they con
trolled it, and let the people “judge them by
their measures.”
Fourth Ward Meeting.
The meeting ot the Whigs of the 4th Ward
on Tuesday evening was organised by appoint
ing Porter Fleming Chairman, and P. D.
Woolhoptkr Secretary, after which the Hon.
A. J. Miller addressed the meeting in a brief
but appropriate speech, encouraging and anima
ting the Whigs, in which he assured them that
our prospects of success in Georgia were of the
most flattering character. AV hen he had con
cluded,the meeting appointed the following gen
tlemen delegates to lhe nominating cobvention
at AVindsor:
P. Fleming, C. B. Hitt,
H. C. Bryson, W-. A. Beall.
Senatorial Nomination.—The Whigs of
Baldwin and Hancock, have nominated Col. A.
H. Kenan, as their candidate for Senator from
that district.
Warlike Preparations.— We suppose, says
the National Intelligencer, that the subjoined
extract from the correspondence of the Balti
more Sun, which we find endorsed by lhe Union
ot Saturday night, givessomething like a correct
statement of the warlike preparations going on
in the vicinity of Washington: ,
“ Five thousaud s’tand of arms and a large
quantity oi ammunition have just left our arse

tion will be despatched in a few days.
“Two hundred and seventy-five new fortifi

Terrible Accident--Steamer Kent sunk--
Several Lives Lost.
Buffalo, August 14th, 1845.
The Steamer London, a new and elegant boat,
which runs between this port and Detroit, eame
into harbor last night, bringing the melancholy
intelligence that on her way up on Tuesday
morning she cam" in contact with the steamer
Kent, or. her passage down from Detroit, by
which unfortunate accident the Kent was sunk
in a few moments and several cabin passengers
were drowned, the names of whom you will find
below. Both the London and Kent aie British
boats.
I have been on board the London and con
versed with Capl. Van Allen, her commander.
It is hoped, by him, that no more were lost than
those mentioned, yet from the best intelligence
1 can obtain there is reason to fear that there
were others who were not recollected at (he
time.
The passengers’ names were not all register
ed, as it is not usual lor them to hurry to lhe
caprain’s office when on the lakes
Both captains were in their berths when the
boats came in contact, it being the mates’ watch
on deck.
The London, lias suffered very little. One ol
her larboard timbers is broken near the bows;
hereul-water is partly carried away, and some
lew of the upper larboard boards are knocked in.
The alarm, of course, was very great. A
gentleman and bis lady occupied a state room
on the starboard side of lhe upper deck. When
the concussion took place, he sprang out ol his
berth, and in the hurry to open lhe door broke
the key. In an instant he sprang through the
glass window to the deck, dragging his wife
through the aperture that he had mr.de.
The editor of lheCommercial, who was on
board the London this morning, says:
It is feared more names will hereafter be add
ed to the list ot missing. Such is the impression
after visiting lhe London to-day, and eliciting
information from those who were on board.—
The lights of the Kent were seen and recog
nized approaching six miles off, yet strange to
say no efforts were made to avoid collision un
til it was too late. Both boats kept on their
course until within a short distance ot each
other, when the Kent suddenly sheered across
the bow ol the London, and although the engine
of the latter was stopped, was struck with im
mense force on the starboard side, a little for
ward the wheel house. Immediately she began
to settle down, and finally sank in ten fathoms
water, some ten miles from shore. So sudden
was the shock that scarcely any of those on
board the K. were able to secure their luggage
—all went down with the boat.
Corrrespondcncc of the Detroit Advertiser.
At half past 3 A. M. on Tuesday, below
Point au Pellee, on Lake Erie, the ‘ London’
steamer from Buffalo, and the 'Kent’ steamer
on her downward passage, came in contact
with a dreadful crash, «tnd the result of the con
cussion was the loss of lhe latter boat, and, we
grieve to add, several lives.
1 have no heart to dwell upon the scene.—
For some minutes we supposed we had broken
the machinery ot the London, and were going
to the bottom; and were only relieved from the
apprehension of a watery grave by the sight of
the Kent, rapidly sinking at our bows. Every
effort was made to save her passengers, and all
who were in sight were saved; several qf those
from the cabin being transferred to our boat
wiihout even their clothes. But sad to say, a
number were lost, being unable to gain the
upper deck in time. Among these we reckon -
Rev. James E. Quaw, Bedford, Michigan.
Mr. Chauncey Osborn, Genesee, N. Y.
Mr. Seth Deming, Berlin, Conn.
Master Bruce Deming, Galena, VV. T.
James Lowden, Ypsilanti, Michigan.
Two young ladies and a boy from near
Ypsilanti, names not known.
All the officers and hands ot the boat and 79
passengers, including 10 children, were saved.
Without any formal proceedings on the sub
ject, our passengers have endeavored to ascer
tain the cause of this dreadful accident, and
we have no doubt it occurred in consequence
of the error in the pilot ot the Kent altempti-ig
topass on lhe wrong side of the London, which
brought her directly across the bow, and at this
the engineer of the London, as soon as he saw
the course of lhe Kent, shut off' his steam, yet
his boat had too mucli headway, and the Kent
was cut down in front of her wheelhouse.
We remained five hours with the wreck
gathering floating parcels of baggage, &e., and
attempting to tow lhe hull ashore, but she grad
ually sunk by the head, and we were compelled
to perform the sad office ofhoisting her flag half
mast, and leaving her to her fate.
The London is not at all injured. Our pas
sengers have done something to relieve the ne
cessities of lhe sufferers—the ladies dividing
their wardrobes and thegentlemen opening their
purses.

Later From Texas.
The cutter Woodbury, Capt. Foster, which
left Aransas on the 6th, and Galveston on the

The Ships Victoria and Suviah were to leave

The United States steamer Monmouth had ar

that the pumps were going continually to keep
her afloat.
We have received lhe Galveston News cf the

The result of the contest for the Presidency

NEWS FROM MEXICO.
Twelve Days Later from the Capital.
The long expected schooner Water Witch,
Capt. 'I rennis, arrived at. this port yesterday
morning from Vera Cruz, whence she sailed on
the sth inst. She brings letters and papers as
late as due: irom the city of Mexico our files
come down to the 3lst of July, just twelve days
later than were received by the Relampago.
Mexico has not yet declared war against the
United States, although she received, by the
British brig ot war Persian, full intelligence of
the action of Texas upon the propositions made
to her for annexation, and some rumors of ac
tive military movements on the part of the
United States.
Not only had there been no declaration of
war, or even of commercial non-intercourse,
but we can find not one word in our ample files
to show that any military operations have yet
been resolved upon by Mexico. The story that
10,000 men were moving towards Texas, with
a view of its reconquest, must be purely rumor.
Bullet us see what the Government has actu
ally done.
On the 21st of July the Minister of Foreign
Relations, Senor Cuevas; and of the Treasury,
Senor Luis de la Rosa, addressed most impor
tant communications to the Chamber oi Depu
ties. The general tenor of the first document is
■ as lollows: —The Government, in full council,
having deliberated upon the questions involved
in the annaxation of Texas r* the American
Union—having weighed well the evils conse
quent upon the interruption of peace, and the
yet greater evils which the Republic would suf
fer if its Outraged honor and. the violation ot its
territory cannot find protection by the ordinary'
means established by tne law ol nations—has
unanimously determined to resort to the extreme
measure of war with the United States. The
Government has weighed well the responsibility
of takingsuch a step, notwithstanding the re
peated provocations offered by the United
States, especially as thequesiiun of peace would
seem lo devolve naturally upon the new Admin
istration about to come into power; but the
actual Government has not sought to appear
less resolved upon a just an<ljM<iic«aT war, than
it has shown itself disposed to a worthj' and
honorable peace.
The Government continues adopting the most
efficacious means for the reconquest ot Texas.
If it has not done all that it could wish, it has
at least done all in its power, and the Chamber
should not doubt cither its zeal or patriotism.
And nnrv thp C-rnVPrnmpnf rnmpc inrwarH tn
propose the necessary financial measures which
should naturally precede any measure of hos
tility.
Thereupon, the Presidentdirecls the Secreta
ry to lay before the Cliambersthe following pro
positions, resolved upon in full council of his
ministers:—
Gentlemen Deputies • After having maturely
examined the affairs of Texas and the annexa
tion of that department to the United Slates—
having reflected on all the evils which will re
sult from an interruption ot peace, and on the
still worse calamities which will befall the re
public it she fails to cause the integrity of her
territory to be respected according to the law of
nations, the supreme government, has unani
mously determined that there is only one road
to follow, jind that is the cruel extremity of de
clarir g war against the United States.
Although this determination is sustained by
plain and admittedprincipl’s of justice, and al
though it was provoked by a long series of
wrongs, which the government cannot endure
without shame—standing up to the responsi
bility of its situation in a juncture so remarka
ble. The two august houses being now assem
bled, an election lor president being at hand,
and a new administration about to lake the di
rection of affairs, the executive hesitates not to
declare in favor of a just and national war in
order to produce an honorable peace.
The executive still recommends the adoption
ol measures best adapted to recover Texas, and
to place the nation in its proper rank. If these
desires are not fulfilled; if we have not achieved
everything Ihat might be done, certainlv the
congress ought not 10 leave in doubt either its
zeal or its patriotism. We call on the financial
department, at the same time, lor all the re
sources necessary to the execution of this
measure.
The congress will take into consideration the
34th article of the treaty of commerce and navi
gation with the United States. That article in
dicates, in the opinion ofthe executive, what re
mains to be done.
Looking to future events, to the past, and re
flectingon the officialdocumentseommunicaled
to congress, as well as the tenor ot the first arti
cle ofthis bill, the president and ministers as
sembled in full council, have thought proper to
submit to congress the following;
BILL presented July 21, to.the two houses, by
his Excellency lhe Minister of Foreign Af
fairs.
1. The moment the government shall hear
Ihat.t'ie department of Texas is annexed to the
Anierican Union, and that the troops cf the
latter have entered said dcpartuiySt, the nation
is at war wilh the United States.
2. This war will have fdr ifs*bbject topre
serve the integrity of the Mexican territory
within the old limits acknowledged by the Uni
ted States in treaties from 1828 to 1836, and to
secure the menaced independence ofthe nation.
Thus writes the Foreign Secretary. The com
munication of him ot the Treasury is more de
finite and important, and we give a full trans
lation ofit:—
Afast Excellent Sirs:— On the 19th of April
last I had the honor ot presenting to the Cham
ber a plan in which were proposed various
measures which the Government thought pro
per to be adopted to obtain the means requisite
lor carrying on the war wilh Texas. There
was then some hope entertained that the efforts
cf lhe Government might enable it to avoid a
war and its unhappy consequences. All such
hope is now lost forever, and there is no choice
tor Mexico between degradation and infamy
on lhe one hand, and war, with all the calami
ties and disasters inseparable from it on the
other. Mexico has been provokeifinto this war,
an I for a long series of years has endured this
provocation. At this day she would be unwor
thy of preserving the land conquered by the
blood ot our fathers, if she did not arm and rise
up en masse lo oppose an iniquitous aggression,
to defend her nationality, and to make herself
respecte las an independent people. The time
is passed for discussing the incontestable rights
of Mexico in the Texas question;, lhe lime for
action has arrived, and to act promptly and de
cisively, for sustaining the national cause be
fore the entire world, whick is now looking
upon us, and which will continue to fix its re
gards upon us, to see if we are worthy ol form
ing a nation, or do indeed deserve to be con
quered like hordes of savages. The Govern
ment cannot now resist the impulse of its duly
and its patriotic sentiments, nor the unanimous
wishes ol lhe nation, impelled by necessity into
a war. The Minister of Foreign Affairs has
already brought forward the plan [initiative') of
lhe Government, and without doubt the Nation
al Congress will adopt it, in obedience to the
voice and wishes of the Republic. But the
Government is now called on to repeal that
which it avowed on the 19lh of April: that
everything is prepared and matured for war,
and 'hat pecuniary resources are alone wanting
to carry into immediate execution the designs
ofthe Government. The necessity for these
resourcesis now urgent, and the Republic will
risk its political existence if it defers granting
them for many days. These resources should
beampie; they should be proportioned to the
magnitude and urgency ot the expenses entail
ed bya foreign war. The funds necessary for
this war cannot be measured by common, by
ordinary means. The situation ofthe treasury
demands that it should be supplied bs’ extraordi
nary measures, and, at the same time, measures
so burdensome as under no other eireinmafice
would be supportable. A national or foreign
loan of 815,0011,000 is the only means which
offers for carrying on the war with glory and
with a happy issue, and for obtaining that
triumph consequent thereupon, which the
policy of nations yields as a right to a people—
to be indemnified tor the expenses and sacrifi
ces of a war which has been iniquitously pro
voked.
The proposal of this loan may serve as a
new pietext tor unjust opposition to the Gov
ernment; its ministers will appeal to the nation,
to the tribunals, and to the entire world, to
justify themselves against any calumnious im
putation ;—but now the question for the ad
ministration is not how to save itself, but how
to save the Republic. The Government, in
compliance with its duty, and with the dictates
ol its conscience, repeats, then, in the bosom ot
Congress, that the national independence is in
danger, and that Mexico will inevitable suffer
all the evils ot a foreign invasion, it it does not
concede to this Government the authority neces
sary lo negotiate the loan of fifteen millions ot
dollars, wilh the least possible disadvantage to
the nation. The Government will go farther,
and declare its conviction that the authority
which it asks should precede every other mea
sure which Congress may adopt in regard to
the grave question of Texas, wilh which it is
about to be occupied anew. There are without
doubt some necessary restrictions to be imposed
upon the Government in making use ot this
authority; but to fix these belongs rather to the
wisdom of Congress than to the Government.
1 can only assure Congress that the funds whieh
the Government may succeed in obtaining for
.the war will be religiously appropriated to the
sacre i object to which the nation demands them
to be consecrated— to lhe defence of its honor
and the preservation of its independence.
I conclude by proposing lor the deliberation
of the august Chamber ol Deputies, lhe initia
tive (or plan) comprehended in the following
propositions:
First,—The Government is authorized to
contract a national or foreign loan, which shall
realize to the treasury an effective total in cash
of fifteen millions of dollars.
Secondly,—For the ultimate security ot this
loan, and for the payment ofthe interest upon
it, the Government shall hypothecate all the
revenues of the nation which by law are not
hypothecated to another credit.
Thirdly,—The Government shall give an ac.
count to Congress, for its information, of every
loan which it contracts by virtue of this au
thority, and a notice ot the objects to which the
product ofthe said loan may be appropriated.
1 entreat your Excellencies to communicate
the above exposition to the august Chamber,
accepting iuc insurance ot my dhiinguished
' consult i aiion.
M.rico, Jnfv 21s/, IS 15.
LUIS DE LA ROSA.
To their Excellencies the Secretaries
ot the Chamber of Deputies.
This rather eloquent appeal to the patriotism
of the Deputies had not been acted upon by them
so far as we can learn by our files, notwith
standing there is a rumor in town that the loan
demanded had been granted. We do not doubt
that it may be, more especially as no one ap
pears to entertain any idea that the money can
be obtained. El Siglo Diez y Nueve, which has
usually most ardently sustained the Adminis
tration, in the present instance opposes the idea
of any declaration of war. It holds that war
has already been virtually declared from the
moment that the United States passed the mea
sure of Annexation; that the subsequent action
oi Texas has nothing to do with the question as
between Mexico and us; that the two countries
are now at war—an offensive war on the part
ot the American Union, and strictly defensive
on the part of Mexico. It contends that Mexi
co should observe her treaty stipulations towards
our merchants, as those ot a hostile nation, and
lhat there is no occasion to proclaim a war,
which can be done at any moment or not at all,
being a mere matter of form. Many Mexicans
accede to this reasoning, and there are letters in
town which would induce the belief that there
will be no formal declaration of war, but that
he most strenuous exeitions in the power ot
Mexico will be employed to reconquer Texas.
This, of course, would not in the least retard or
otherwise affect the measures ol resistance to an
invasion of Texas which the United States is
bound to take.
A great number ot Mexicans—some of them
“veterans of Independence,” retired military
men, Gen. Almonte, and even Canalizo, the ex-
President now in confinement at Perote—are
coming forward in crowds to proffer their ser
vices to the Government to carry on the war in
so just a cause. Yet we cannot but believe that
there is more of Mexican gasconade in all
these proffers than a real desire to fight.
The citizens of the capital heard on the 29th
ult., by, way of Vera Cruz, that 3,000 infantry,
GOO cavalry, and some pieces of light artillery
from the army of the United States, were about
to rendezvous on the west bank of the Rio Bra
vo, together with 1000 Texans. They knew
not whether to credit this news or not, but await
ed in all confidence intelligence that the Mexi
can army of observation has thoroughly flogged
this force, it it has really m£de so audacious a
move. At all events the editors declare that the
hour for the struggle has arrived.
There were rumors in Mexico on the 31st
ult. of a change of ministry. El Siglo dissuades
from giving any credence to them, thinking it
very unlikely that when the Presidential elec
tion was to take place on the followingday.and
the term of office ofthe present Administration
was so near at hand, that it should strike out
any new course of policy. El Stglo attributes
the rumors to the attacks ofSeno.’ Boves upon
the Government.
It is impossible to form any definite opinion
as to the result ofthe election. Gomez Farias
is represented as the most popular candidate,
Gen. Herrera has the strength of the press on
his side, and Gen. Almonte is very anxious to
be chosen, and has volunteered to fight Texas.
We need not speculate on the matter.
Both Chambers ot Congress, acting in their
capacity of grand jurors, decided on the 21st ult.,
that there were sufficient grounds lor instituting
criminal process against D. Manuel Baranda,
the ex-Minister of Justice, for havi g signed
the decree of the 291 h ot November which led
to the revolution of December 6th.
Letters have been received in Mexico an
nouncing the suspension of all communications
with the Department of Tobasco, on account of
the political disturbances in that part ofthe Re
public.
Manv of the troops under Arista had deserted,
being halt starved we presume. To stimulate
the inhabitants to activity in arresting the run
aways, the General offers $5 a head for every
one brought in.
Universal complaints are made of the dilato
riness of Congress in carrying through the re
forms required by the people. The papers
urge upon each house the necessity of expedi
ting measures in order that the undivided alien
lion of Congress and the nation may be given to
the foreign relations of the country.
El Siglo is much occupied with a defence of
the course pursued by the Administration in
offering to acknowledge the independence of
Texas, in order io prevent her annexation to
the United .States. ‘This is evidently in the eyes
of the populace, the vulnerable point in the
policy ofthe Government.
The most active discussion is going on in
regard to the reformation of the existing Consti
tution ot Mexico. Some of the essays on the
subject are written with very considerable force
and eloquence.
Santa Ana has denied, through one of his
friends in Mexico, that he has ever accepted
from the Queen of Spain the decoration of the
Order of Charles TIC howeve’r.grateflil it might
have been to him to have been the organ through
which her Catholic Majesty might testify her
regard for the Mexican nation.
The two Houses of Congress have not yet
been able to settle the details of the Tariff, so
long under discussion. Tiade in the interior is
said to be brisker in consequence ofthe fear of
a blockade by our naval forces; otherwise busi
ness is dull.
The Diario pronounces a report to be utterly
false which found some currency, to the effect
lhat Srs. Bravo, Bustamente, Valencia and Al
monte, had attacked the Ministry in the session
of the Council held on the night of the 20th ult.,
for the line ot conduct pursued towards Texas.
The same paper also denies that the Ministry
sought to exculpate themselves by throwing the
blame upon the legislative body.
Capt. Trennis reports that when he left Vera
Cruz there were nd American vessels in port.
On his second day out (the 7th inst.) he saw an
American vessel oi war bearing towards Vera
Cruz, but from the distance he could not make
her our. There were lying at Sacrificios one
English, one Spanish and one Freneh vessel of
war, when the Waler Witch sailed, and
the American squadron was momentarily ex
pected.
Crops in Alabama. —The Mobile Register
ofthe 16:hinst says:—The weather continues
favorable for picking, but is otherwise inimical
to the interest ot planters. The information
from the interior of this State and the north
eastern part of Mississippi, leads to the belief
that a continuance fora fortnight longer ot the
present dry, scorching weather, will seriously
affect the ultimate yield ofthe plant. Cotton is
more forward in opening this season, and al
ready we hear of hands picking on an average
over 100 lbs per day. The accounts from
Louisiana and the southwestern counties of
Mississippi, are more favorable.

Cotton. — The market has been rather inactive
this week, but not moie so than might be ex
pected at this season of the year, particularly as
the stock in Europe is large and advices from the
South are favorable as to the growing crop. The
sales of the week amount to about 4300 bales. —
We quote Uplands, very ordinary to middling. 6

Iron is dull. Scotch Pig has given way: 200 tons
Gartsherrie to arrive by Ist September sold at 527 cash.
The agents for this furnace were hitherto firm at #34,
and have fallen to 830, 6 months, thus establishing a
decline. The high prices of Pig has attracted to this
market immense quantities ot old castings, upwards of
200 tons of which sold at S2O, and it continues to ar
rive, as also wroughtand scrap in large quantities. 80
tons P. S. !• Russian sold in lots from the vessel at #94,

New Orleans. August 8.
Cotton— Arrived since the Ist inst., of Louisiana and
Mississippi 227 bales. Arkansas 33 ; together 260 bales.—
Cleared in the same time for Liverpool 582 bales, New
York 767, Boston 107; together 1456 bales—making a
reduction in stock r.f 1196 bales, and leaving on hand,
inclusive of all on ship-board not cleared on the Bth
instant, a stock of 1354 bales.
At the date of our last report we stated that the quan
tity of Colton on sale did not exceed 200bales, in small
scattering lots, and since then the receipts have o«ily
beert 260 bales, which include 57 bales oi’the new crop,
makings9of the new crop received up to the lime of clo
sing our tables yesterday. This supply has of course
admitted of no tianactions of consequence, though a
very active inquiry has existed, and th p shifts- ;*•-
*ii me amount to 350
bales, leaving but about 125 bales unsold, in which are
included 57 bales of the new crop, there having been
but two bales disposed of, so far as we could learn up
to the lime of closing our inquiries—one on Friday
evening, the first bale of good fair, at 15 cents, which
was of course a fancy price, entirely beyond its real
market value, and one at 8 cents. The remaining 57
bales, we understand, are held at about 7} f® 9} cents
for middling to good fair, but buyers do not seem dis
posed to pay much if any thing ibove the rates which
have heretofore been current for the old crop. The
prices paid have generally been in conformity with our
outside figures, and out previous quotations are there
fore continued, though we may remark that they are
almost nominal for all descriptions except middling to
middling fair, there being none of ths higher qualities.
Buyers are plenty, and we look for an active business
so soon as supplies begin to arrive fi eely and the open
ing prices of the new crop are fairly fixed upon.

CCj-* We have taken frem N- Orleans the amounts
received fiom Mobile andFicrida. Also, from Charles
ton the receipts from Savannah—and from Mobile the
receipts from Florida.
Sugar, Louisiana— The sales of the week have gener
ally been in small lots, principally for the city trade,
at 6$ (a)7 cents for prime to choice, and the present ex
tremes may be quoted at (a) 7 cents, as the market is
bare of the ordinary to common qualities, and there
are few or no lots now to be bought at less than 6 cents
Iff lb. A further sale of about 100 hhds prime has been
made on plantation, at 6j| cents Iff pound By invest!
gation it has been found that the recent estimates of
lhe quantity remaining on hand were too large. It is
now ascertained that the stock on sale, apart from some
few lots shipping and to be shipped on owners’ account,
does not exceed 3000 hhds. all of which is in second
hands, and nearly the whole in the city.
Molasses— The market has again been without any
demand of consequence during lhe past week, and
some increase of stock on the Levee has rather depress
ed prices, which we now quote at 24 /® 27 cents 4Fgall,
according to quality, condition of barrels, dee.
B icon— Transactions are limited, but prices are well
maintained, and we quote for uncahvassed Hams,
which are scarce, 7\(a) cents, some choice being held
higher; canvassed do and extra curedß f® 10. £ides
7|® 7f. Shoulders, 5} (a) cents lb.
Bagging and Bale Rope—'lhe market for these arti
cles continues in a heavy and depressed state, with
large stocks, for which there is no adequate demand.
As regards prices they may be quoted about the same
as before —say for western Bagging, ordinary to very
goad II /®II}, with some extra brands at 12 cents cash.
Rope 3} (a) 5 cents, according to quality, terms. &c.—
Nearly all the sales, however, of which there are some
few making for plantation in the neighberhood, are at
11 ® 11} and 4} (® 1J cents cash, or with interest added
on short time.
Whiskey— The demand has been limited throughout
the week, and prices have slightly given way. VVe
now quote for Rectified 18}/® 19 cents Jp* gallon, lhe
latter having been the prevailing rate in most of the
transactions. The receipts are light at the moment,
but there is an ample supply of Rectified in sloie.
Common continues scarce, and limited parcels com
mand 22 cents gallon.
Exchange— The is very little doing in the Exchange
market. The demand is limited, but the very small
supply enables the few drawers to obtain advanced
rates, and we now quote for (Sterling 10/® 10} cent
prem, Francs 5t25/®sf27j : Bills on New York and Bos
ton (jo days sight par to | cent prem, do sight I (a) 1}
If?cent prem ; Philadelphia and Baltimore GOdays sight
} /® } per cent discount.
Freights— There is scarcely anything doing at the mo
ment in Foreign Freights. A British bark has been
laid on for Liverpool, but she had made no engagement
when we closed our inquiiies. There is no other ves
sel for that port, and there is but one American ship
now in port unengaged. Most of the vessels on for
Northern ports are engaged full, or nearly so, and ad
vanced rates are now claimed.
. New Orleans, August 11.
The transactions in Cotton yesterday amounted to
only about 60 bale* : there is a good demand, but the
stock on hand does not admit of business to any extent.
The receipts of new Cotton are on the increase, 110
bales having come to hand within the last two days.
There is but little inquiry for Flour, and sales are in
small lots al $3 87} tn «4 ■ff-’ bbl for Ohio.

There is nothing in Freights worthy of note : rates
are the same as last quoted.
Savannah, August 16.
Cotton Arrived since the Bth inst., 128 bales Up
land, (all by Rail Road) and 00 bale-, Sea Island ; and
cleared ia the same time 1661 bales Upland to N. York ;
leaving a stocK on hand and on shipboard not cleared
on the 15th inst. of 2511 bales Upland and 528 bales
Sea Island Cotton.
Our Cotton market remains much in the same state
as last noticed, lhe transactions being so limited as
scarcely worthy noticing. The sales ot this week have
been limited, reaching only about one hundred bales, at
prices tanking at from 6 to 7\ cts—only 9 bales al the
former puce, and otu business season may now be con
sidered at a close, as the stock on hand is only 2,511
bale* Uplands, and 528 hales Sea Island—very little of
which is on the market for sale, being mostly held for
shipment.

Rice—We have no change to notice in the Rice mar
ket—during the past week there has been some little
buying lor northern -hipinent, and the sales reported
arc, 8 casks inferior at s3}, and 150 whole and 100 half
tierces at 3} IP* 100. VVe continue former quotations—

GFrocer/e/t—But a limited business doing in the Gro«
eery line, transactions being still confined to lhe city
trade, in Bacon, a good f eta.il business has been done
at improved prices—(Shoulders selling at 6} /® 7, Hides
8/® B}. and f lams at 10/® 11 cts. There ha* also been
something done in Domestic Liquors, a sale of 35 bbls
Northern Rum having been made at 30 cents 4P* gallon,
and 75 bbls Northern Gin at same price.
Corn— The business in this article is mostly confined
to sales in small lots st prices ranging Hom 60 to 65c,
according to quantity, for Maryland. A sale of about
1000 bushels New Orleans has been made this week at
58/® 60c. There is a fair supply on hand, and more
on the way, and our country friends will find this mar
ket an advantageous one to make their purchases.
Hay—We have heard of no transactions in Eastern—
a lot of about 70 bundles Northern has been disposed of
in small parcels at 87}c lOOlbs. ...
Bagging— Like everything else, at this time, is dull,
and we have no large transactions to report. A good
retail business is doing in Kentucky, al prices ranging
from 14 to 15c, and a small lot of Russia Hope has been
sold at 7c. To our country friends we would also re
commend this market for their Bagging and Rope, as
we believe both ai tides can be laid in on as good terms
as elsewhere, as our merchants have a good stock on
hand and seem disposed to sell al moderate profits.
Exchange-Ol Sterling there is but little offering,
and we quote the nominal rate at 9} prem. In Domes
tic there is but little doing—the banks are checking on
New York at } cent prem for sight checks, They
purchase 30 day bills at}, and 60 day bills at 1 cent
discount. , x- •

Cotton al 20, and round at 25c 4P* 100 lbs; to I’hiadel
phia & for round bales Cotton.
Charleston, August 16.
Cotton— The market for Upland Colton since our last
continues to be very dull. Buyers appear to have en
tirely deserted the article. The accounts by the Great
Britain, which were received on Thursday last, did not
produce the slightest effect upon lhe market. Sales
have been made with some slight concession in favor
•f buyers. We continue our quotations nominal.—
Sales of lhe week amount to 1256 bales, as follows :
17 at s}. 62 at 7, 399 at 7}, 27 at 7}, and 7bl at 8 cts 4? lb.
Receipts for the week 1298 bales, In Sea Island we
have only heard of 28 bales stained, which brought from
8 to 16 cts.
