The following important advices from Santa Fe have been received in this city : Santa Fe, May 25, 1850. There has been a Convention of delegates called ami held here, which has formed and promulgated a State Constitution for the government of the “State of New Mexico.” The Convention assembled on the 15th instant, nnd tlio session lasted eight or nine days, during which a Constitution was formed, to go into operation about the 1st-of July.

Two Senators and Representatives in Congress will soon ho elected, and efforts will also be made for them to tako their seats in Congress.

Excitement- The news from Nets Mexico—Spirit of the South—Threats of the Texas Members—A caucus to be held—The Compromise—Mr. Soule. Washington, Juno 26th. The news from New Mexico creutcs an intense sen sation,here, to day. It non pluses every body, nnd summarily knocks on the head all previous calcula- tious. The Southern extremes nrc in a terrible rage, “llesistence" not only to New Mexico, but California, too, inust.be made, now, “at all hazards, to the last extremity." The Texa exas members are particularly ferocious. Texas they say has been deliberately detrouded, and cheated out of her territory, and she must get it back, by force ut arms if necessary 1 Efforts are making to persuade the South general ly, to make this their common rallying ground. It is l amoved, to-day, that members are to meet in caucus, to-night to deliberate on what is best to be done, in this new exigency. The speech of Mr. Soule, nnd the growing desire that the Missouri line shall be made the basis of com promise, had previously strengthened the South in their oppsition to the Compromise, but the advices from New Mexico now band them closer together. The Southern members keep cool, and quiet,—but the excitement on all hands is very great. Departure of the Atlantic Steamers. From Europe. New-York.

But it seems that the epiritof encroach ment knows no limits, and that, emboldened by the patient ondulance of tho Southern people, our ene mies arc determined to make a clean sweep of all the public domain, and leave us hemmed in nnd circum scribed on every side. The attempt to bring Cali fornia in as a State, with her manufactured constitu tion and unlimited boundaries, is bail enough. But this lastnttemptison outrage, which should and will call forth tho unqualified condemnation of honest men of all parties and of nil sections of the Union. With n present population of only ninety thousand souls, of whom only “twelve or fifteen hundred are Ameri cans," and all the others Pueblo Indians, Mexi cans and Spaniards, tho attempt to trump up a constitution, and claim' admission into the Union up on an equnlfooting with the other States of the con federacy, reaches a point of unblushing impudence truly admirable for its moral sublimity.

We find the following synopsis of the nows brought by the Niagara in tho New York Tribune. As itgives all the items of interest, we adopt it in lieu of pub lishing the uninteresting details. The intelligence as telegraphed from Halifax does not wear a paditic aspect The British Ministry has received another rebuff in the Commons, showing that their tenure of office is frail, and the pulse of their old supporters languid indeed'; The French Cabinet is endeavoring to 1 continue dissatisfied about- the Greek settlement, and evidently considers the misundei standing with England one to be cultivated- and made the most of. Tlio perplexing Schleswig feud seems as far from settlement as ever, Pr.ussia is still arming; Denmark is still resolute, being open ly backed and urged on by Russia. Rome is uneasy under the ecclesiastical rule, andf Moorish army is reported to bo marching strnigh^ngainst tho French in Algiers. France maintains a quiet, which is not stagnation. Emile do Girardin, tho potent Editor of La Frcsse, has been elected to the Assembly from the Department of the Lower Rhino by a large majority—the last election under Universal Suffrage, and showing an in creased Socialist majority. Louis Napoleon’s mod est demand for an addition of $400,000 per annum to his pay for doing worse than no thing meets with obstacles in the assembly. Wo presume it will be crowded tlirough, however. Thiers has gone to Eng land to complete the union of tho Bourbon and Or leans Royal families. And Louis Napoleon is said to be pretending thnt he did not mean that the late restric tion of the Right of Suffrage should apply to Presiden tial but only to Legislative Elections ! Can there be any need that this creature should render himself more contemptible tlinn he is? Russia is evidently preparing to strike a 1 weighty blow somewhere ngainst the spirit of Freedom in Western Europe. Let her use the sivord when she does strike and not trust to diplomacy aud corrup tion.

Indeed it is “a bold stroke,” nnd well may Califor nia hide her dimlnishnd head, after this display of '‘unlocked for" spirit by the Indians nnd hnlf-breeds_ ol New-Mcx ! co. We think with the editor, that the movement “will tell with immense effect at the present crisis,” though we cannot exult witli him over the disoord nnd strife which is likely to result from it. The thing has told with immense effect already in Texas, who, we feel assured will never submit to such Wholesale en croachments on her rights, even though the aggres sors are supported by the strong arm of the Federal government.

The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Bulletin, in his letter of the 22d inst., speaking of tlio question of boundary Between Texas and Now Mexi co, says : If you hnve observed the course of discussiou in the Senate, the week past, you will have observed thnt that very eminent, and Juris-consplt, Mr. Berrien of Geo., who, prior to the annexation of Texas, de nounced all the claims of Texas to territory east of the Rio Grande, ns unfounded and frivolous, and who energetically opposed the war with Mexico, which was begun upon the pretence tliut Gen. Am- pudiain crossing the Rio Grande near Matamoras, had invaded American soil, n6w contends, thnt Tex as has a good claim against the United States to all the soil ceded by tire Mexican Treaty east of the Rio Grande to tile United States, from its mouth to its source. In this apparent change of front, he is perfectly consistent, even if wrong. His argument now is, that in nr'iexing Texas, wo annexed the Boundary lines of her Laws, and her Constitution, reserving only to ouruolvcs the ascertainment of what they were between herself aud Mexico, and that the Treaty of Guadalupe'Hidalgo having settled them in favor of Texas, Congress is bound by the Treaty. . Mr. Berrien is by far the ablest of the Southrons, and one of the fairest mid most just among them, and such an argument from him before the Supreme Court as he has made before the Senate would have a powerful effect. I state such facts as this to show you that it is only by payment for, ns by decision in favor of the United States thnt New Mexico can be saved from the grasp of Texas, nnd the consequent extension of Slavery there. Whether such a purchase of a claim at the rate of Ten Millions shall be made or not, or whether it shall be trusted to litigation. Texas refusing to acknowledge the jurisdiction of tlie Supreme Court, are questions to be decided by Congress, Ventilation on Ship-Board.—We had an op portunity this morning, says the New York Commer cial of Tuesday, of inspecting a model of the corres ponding ventilators, invented by Frederick Emerson, of Boston.
