'1 he adoption of the Federal Coil* stitution frustrated their views, and they next endeavored to elect a creature of their own, to be President of the newly created Mexican states. Bravo was selected but defeated by Victoria, yet the Government was in fact in the hands of the aristocra cy. In this state of things, the Repub licans determined to marshal their ranks in the manner adopted by their opponents ils foreign creditors, and went on aug menting its expenses, which it found means to pay by the most ruinous money operations ever resorted to in any country, anticipating the revenue derived from maritime duties at a loss of seventy-five and eighty per cent. Daring this dentil struggle of the Government to satisfy hun>* gry and clamorous pensioners, and idle and useless officers, their attention was constantly occupied with fresh conspira cies.

That in this intercourse, he spoke in praise of the institutions of his own country and of her doctrines on trade, there can be little doubt, but surely this cannot be tortured into a wish to counter act the views of the British Government.

No other sure foundation can he dc- enuses which so far from having been pro- vised for the preservation of freedom and States; and he is indirectly charged with holding meetings of the Yorktno lodge nl bis own house in the capital—-'with “ the collision" of the 4th Dec. liivri—and with concealing the chief mover of that “ insur rection” in his house during the explosion —with'forcing Gen. Bravo into a situation to he denounced as n traitor to his country, because lie endeavored to put down the the influence of Mr. Foiusctt.—These last charges are made by questions, and are therefore termed indirect. In support ol .these charges, the only proof offered of their being true, is that the Legislatures of two of the Mexican states, had petitioned fheirgencral government to send Mr. Poin sett out of the country, on account of his unfriendly disposition, which is complete ly overthrown hv Mr. Poinsett’s published exposition of his own views, and those of our government, to which the writer of the pamphlet makes no allusion. Tin ivrit.-r in the National Gazette admits, that die first meeting of the Yorkino Lodge Was at Mr. Poinsett’s house, and gives as the reasons, that he was applied to by tin principal ojjicrrs of five. York Lodges to ■stnd to the United States for Charters, ami that there w as no other person itt Mex i co, who from Ins rank as a mason, and commission from other Grand Lodges W as competent to instal the Grand York Lodge. He was assured by the members, that .the Government were aware of their inten tions and did not disapprove of them.— •1 he installation of the Grand York Lodge at the house of Mr. Poinsett was consider ed hy the Scotch masons (who hud used Ate institution for political purposes) us Wiirsltulling ngniust them the ranks of nn opposite faction, and every effort was made b’ them from tlmt time, to put down their adversaries. Untilthai moment Mr. Poin sett was not aware of any great political excitement in the country, and as soon as he became acquainted with the real state ol the political parties, he withdrew from od communication with the Lodges. No other Masonic meeting was ever held in his house, nor lias he had any communica tion with the Lodges for the last three .years. To the charge tlmt the chief mo- vcr °f die revolution of last December, Was secreted in Mr. Poinsett’s house dur ing the explosion, a Jlat denial is given, and the English residents are charged With propagating the calumny, while they said nothing of the repeated attempts to shoot Mr. Ponsett, which was nearly ac complished in one instance,'the ball Imv- btg passed between Mr. Poinsett and Mr. Mason, the Secretary of the American Le gation, while they were stnuding together )[' balcony of Mr. P’s house, and lumiiy cannot successfully rench.- il/cr. Adv, N. Y. 4 * It was supposed hy the Mexicans that they lind only to adopt the same form of irovernment as that of their sister Repub lic, (the United States,) to rival them in virtue, knowledge, and national prosperi ty ; hut, filled with nn idea of their supe rior wealth and resources, from tho cir cumstance of their possessing mines of the precious metals, and from the dreams, of Baron de Ilumlioldt, they disdain ed to adopt the economy which distin guishes otir general and .state govern ments, and at once established theirs up on the most lavish mid extravagant foot ing of expense. The loans they made in England enabled them to defray these ex penses for the first year or two, and in this manner they luid the foundation of their ruin. They not only kept up all the n- buses of the vice-regal government, hut they aggravated them ; their pension list and salaries to superannuated officers, are not equalled by that of the most ancient and corrupt government in Europe. They never thought of forming a system of fi nance, hut relied solely upon their mari time duties. The former were so badly administered, that not more than one-fiftli part of the nominal sum raised ever duced by Mr. Poinsett, all who have had any thing to do with public concerns in that country, and who will speak im partially, will do him the justice to testify lie has used his utmost exertions to initi- gute or to remove.” MR. JEFFERSON. most THE EOS DOS MORS ISO CHKOSICEB. We have received the highest gratifica tion from a work which has just issued from tiie press—die Memoirs and Corres pondence of that great and good man Thomas Jefferson, the celebrated Presi dent of the United States. The specta cle of mnn of strong powers, devoting himself during the whole of n long life to the good of Iiis fellow-creatures, is like the sight of an oasis in the African desert to the spectator of the dirty jobbing and selfish aims of those who call themselves the great in this country. If Captain Basil Hall's Tour in the United States generated in him a hatred of the social condition of a country in which there was not a class of splendors and u class of happiness. If any body thinks that Kings, Nobles, and Priests are good conservators of the public happiness, send him here. It is the best school in the universe to cure him of that folly. He will see here with his own eyes, that these descriptions of men are an abandoned confederacy a- gainst the happiness of the mass of the people. The omnipotence of their effect cannot lie better proved than in this coun try ; particularly, where, notwithstanding die finest soil upon earth, the finest cli mate under heaven, and a people of the most benevolent, the most gay and amin hie character of which the human form is susceptible ; when such a people, I say, surrounded, hy so ninny blessings from nature, are loaded with misery by Kings, Nobles, and Priests, and by them nlot e.

Mr. Clark testified us to her conduct from the time of her leaving Mr. Smith, until tho HMh of November, when she was arrested, (accord ,.g to the indictment): and in tills lie was most fan anil unequivocal, that she hud clinrgu of file in *st. valuable tilings in Iiis house, such as plate, money, Ac. und'that she wns to him utmost invaluable (torn her carefulness, h musty, ability und integri ty.

Mr Smith and Mr. Clark re marked (hat nt times she w us absent in mind, tre- (piently milking mistakes in the discharge ol soma little errand or duty, which might arise from not being accustomed to the station assigned her,-.of from having her attention withdrawn by some new object.

In h few days she had so far recovered ns to say " not guil ty" to the indictment, and these were used in pre paration by Iter friends to impress her with forti tude to calmly abide and endure llie trial w hich n- w ailed her. tier two hoarding school friends the Misses became tiie partners of her prison— they assisted her with the consolation of friend ship und religion—they made cheerful tiie grated ceil and gluomy walls,and witli more than sisterly kindness, endeavored to raise up this crushed (lower und bid h blossom anew.
