naiinanla. The cccncc throufb which wc hare
cured and are pauln*here are varioue.
For a fortnight the world euppoeed thorn lo
hare been occupied In the reliHoMton of a treaty
of peace. And though the world had boon nhul
out, etrong aonranee. had been given ua of the
pro.peetoratMatyofpeMe to eoneole ue. Not
e tempnrarv peace—but a permanent oue.which
ehallout offtheir expetnee, and return our chil
dren Itom the land of .laughter and .till more
d.adlyclimetOour dre.ide.
Scarcely had then nolee died away when we
wen called upon for thie additional force to pro.,
home by fin and the eword, the claim, whieh we
had pot forth against a fallen, ho bad almost taid
an iguoble, foo. The doctrine put forth by the
Senator from Michigan waa, that not only waa it
necessary to secure peace, but to press the war
with increased vigor. ....
Whit then should all thia mean? Waa it an
•dtaiwion that we were no nearer a pence thin
when wo anatohod up a piece of paper and
pawed it through thia body. His strong doaire
had been peace. The ectual order of proceeding*
had been to negotiato first and ratify afterwards.
But we bad reversed the order of proceedings,
had ratified a treaty and then sent agents to nego
tiate. It etruck him that the course which they
had adopted waa strange, waa grotesque—unpre
cedented in the history of diplomatic intercourse.
We were in possession of California and New
Mexico, and were informed of tho intention of
tho president to ratain them as provinces proper
to b« added to the United States, and these troops
wore to coerco Mexico into a session of this ter
ritory. Thia is the object of these additional reg
iments in his opinion, tho identical object for
which the war was commenced. All. all Mexico.
The mouthers of the other house had ill been
elected since the declaration of tho lltlt March,
184(1. That other house had declared by tlioir
vote that this war was unnecessarily and uncon-
ntitittionaliy commenced by the president of tho
United States. Ill that declaration he concurred,
aud he believed a majority of tho people also.
There was auotlior proposition equally capa
ble of demonstration,that this war was begun and
has been prosecuted for the acquisition of new
territory, with a view to bring new States into
this confederacy. • ,
Aud tlds force is lobe used to force Mexico in
to nn acquiescence in this design on our part to
bring in new States from her territory. We
know that the Mexican people will never accede
to thie treaty unless compelled by irrosistiblo
force, and for this it was that these thirty thon<
sand troops were to be sent into Mexico.
It was apparent to all, he said, that tho war
was substantially over—that there was to be no
more fighting. It was his opinion that tho peo
ple wonld not sustain this war. Ho hoped the
ten regiment bill wonld not become a law—and
for this be supposed that he should be called a
Mexican whig. For saying that he would not ap
prove a measure proposed liy the administration,
a roan was now to be termed ou enemy to bis
country, or what was deemed the saute tiling—an
enemy to the President.
He did not know a greater Mexican than the
Senator from Michigan. Ho had said that his
object waa to frighten Mexico, which would be
more human than to harm her. This was said
in the hearing of Mexico, and even of the people
oftlte United States. Thia wos on the telegraph
ic wires, and floating over tho Gulf of Mexico.—
and in order that he might not frighten her too
much, he bad taken the precaution to inform
Mexico that Ills object wasi only to frighteni her.
lie quoted ••Snub,” iu the character of the Lion
in "Midsummer's Night Dream,” showing but
balfhia Ace. as illustrating the course of the Sen*
•tor from Michigan in this particular ease—••La
dies, Air ladies, don't think mo a lion—I am no
lion—lam only 'Snub the Joiner.' "
He contended that there was no necessity for
this additional force. Sickness and battle had so
thinned the ranks of the army in Mexico, that U
would require 10,000 meu to fill up the present
regiments.
This was all that was necessity. Ho nndor*
stood that there was a report from Gen. Scott,
(upon whose career in Mexico he passed a very
high compliment,) showing, that ifthe regiments
were all filled up, there would bn, including re-
emits on the way, 55,000 troops in Mexico.
The effect of creating new regiments, raising
nsw recruits, and appointing new ofilesrs, with*
out filling up the old regiments, would be ulti
mately so to thin the ranks that the oificers would
exceed the privates in uumber.
The government of Mexico, he said, probably
owed its existence to the expectation of relief
from the three millions appropriation. Then
where the necessity of sending this new force into
Mexico. The main object of tiie.** wishes he
baflwed was patronage—the gratification of
frienf**
Toe bill would render necessary the appoint-
neut of sonio fivo hundred officers—colonels,
' majors, captains, Arc.—but 111* rs was a'so pay
masters, commissaries et Id omne genet—down to
sutlers, who, in tho language of Corporal Riiu,
declarest
'•Sutler lie would be unto the camp.
And profits should oniure.”
To the object for which this war waa prosecuted
—tho bringing of netv states into the union—ho
was opposed. Ife was opposed to bringing new
•tatosinto tho union from foreign territories,East,
West, North, or South. Ilo would reject att
end if the question were put to him to-day,wheth
er he would liavo peace with new states, he
would say no!
For there waa no reason whatever to believe
that we conld not obtain as apeedy, aa safe, and
as honorable peaco without as with territory.
Mexico does not wish us to take her territory—
she yields it reluctautly—and every man hero
knew It
And Ifthe Trlit paper waa rejected by Mexico,
it would be in consequence of tho roluctauce of
the Mexican Congress or the Mexican people to
give np their territory. They preferred to keep
their territory and that we should keep our mo-
noy—just os lie preferred that wo should keep our
money and alio should keep her territory.
He denied that the people of tho United States,
in concluding a treaty or peace,desired the acqui
sition of territory—and such territory. Through
the Sotith and West, lie believed there was no
general feeling in Avor of taking territory, and
such he bolieved the preponderating sentiments
at the North.
He knew no roason than, why the purpose of
the President should control them, any more tlmn
that their purpose should control him. Jlo
would stand out, it was said, against them, and
were they afraid to stand out against him. Ilo
was willing to go to the people on this ismio, or
on tho issue whether wu shall not take territory.
If the constitution was to be broken down, let
it be tho net of the people, not Ids. Rut he did
not distrust the people, lie was willing to sub
mit it to them, whether they will take territory,
paying for it a thousand tunes more than it is
worth, or whether they will take peace without
territory.
But the truth could not he concealed that we
trembled before Executive power. Mr. Polk
would tuke nothing hilt tills, und we feared that
if we opposed, the King's auger would lie kin-
died. And who was Mr. Polk? Ilo meant no
di.rnepect. lie wu in (lio lull year of lii. official
terra, end in two ahnrt uionilia, event, mipln oc
cur which would render hi. withr. ul‘ very liulo
coneenneuce. We were on {he eve of n P/ci-
drntinl nomination.
It ini|litbe that Ur. P. would receive the nomi-
md'.onol'hi. oarlyibutlf not, hi. position end in-
fiiaeocr would bewinilinUicant a. any of Iheire.
Who then would care for the coneiitejny of the
E reeem incumbent! Slenifeat d.itiny will then
ive pointed outcome otherman,a*only#lto beet
the head of thie government. Therefore ll wee
tiul he did not ercrlbe any particular come*
gu.nca to tho will of tho proaent Executive in
lio*wtyi<d,lik< Zachary Taylor, elthobettle of
Dnene Vltt», that they had the prudence to "ftel
the enemy," before aeUSBemlif they dM eojia
believed that, u in the other ceja. they would find
him on hie way to Ben Lola Potoiif From the
iiinuietion of Teieidown to thie moment, ho had
oppoied the annexation of new territory to the
AtnericaitUnlon. ,,
H« then explained his position, in Mr. Tyler’s
cabinet, on the Texas question. Ho i«W ettbse*
qusntly in 18411. when not in public life, tliat the
annexation of Texas waa the settled purpose of
the Administration, and he had then deemed it hie
dutv to let the public know his views thereon.
Just before the coming In of the present adminis
tration, when tho resolutions Ibr the annexation
of Texas were before the Senate, he bad again
taken the opportunity, ea a member of that body,
to expreaa Ida viaws in opposition to tho annex
ation of new tonritnry, ami he here reiterated the
views whieh he had then expressed.
But we admitted Texas, end with the provi
sion that we should thereafter have the power to
make four other now States from Texas—five
new States altogether, and ten new Senators.—
And now U is proposed to make two other new
States from California and Now Mexico—four
teen new Senators, in all, from new 8tatea thus
coming in from foreign territory, with a popula
tion orsome 900,000 only.
Ilad the Sonata looked at the consequences ?—
He trusted if they had not, that they would—to
the disproportion of people, two Senators from
these now States, lie held it to be a most flagrant
imposition upon the government and constitution
which we professed to support. To he sure it
waa provided that these new States should come
In at a suitable time—but that suitable time would
he, as in the case of Texas, when party votes
were wanted. . _
Mr. W. said the two rotes of the Texas Sena
tors,-who came in in 184(1, overthrew the tariff of
1819, one of the best systems of fluauce which
had ever existed in this countty. This was then
the suitable tiuio for them, and possibly two years
hence we may ftgain be engaged in revising the
present system, when it will petbapa again be the
suitable time for the admission of another of
these new Staten.
If we take New Mexico end California, who is
so weak as to think that the hunger for acquisi
tion will bo appeased, unless upon the presump
tion that what we get is so worthless, that more
is undesirable f
He had heard no err so absurd as that wo arc
getting indemnity. We were payiug a large sum
andwnatdid we get for itf lie proceeded to
show that there was no pubtic domain in New
Mexico—that there are plenty of people, such as
they are—and that thoro will not be 200 planters
or farmers who will go from the U. States to
Mexico in 60 years. They cannot live there. For
agricultural purposes, it was useless to us.
(Mr. Ilmk hure, Mr. Webster giving way, ex-
f ilained that a vary great portion of the territory
n New Mexico ly ing between the Nueces and the
Rio Grande was valuable,and that Mexicans were
emigrating to this portion of Texas.)
Mr. Webster proceeded. Much had been said
about leaving the regidaUon of certain matters to
tho people nftheso now States when they shall a-
dopt a constitution, sud ask for admission into the
Union. Who did not know that the people of
New Mexico and California, were wholly lncom*.
petent to form a Constitution for themselves—that
when the "suitable time” arrived, a Constitution
would bo provided for them by the executive gov
ernment at Washington ?
Mr. Wohster said that while their territories
remain territories, they will bo troubissoms—ar
mies will bo required for their protection. When
they become Slates they will be still more so.—
He thought he saw in the future a determination
to destroy the proper checks and balances of the
constitution, lie should do his duty, whsther
supported or unsupported. He defied all augu
ries, and looked for support to no omen but his
country's good.

Eirin reading the history of the American Re
volution, we have frequently beon mortified at the
slight notice taken of the gallantry and patriotism
of Georgia. Though the weakest and youngest
of the thirteen colonies, she contributed much to
tho establishment of independence, and tho brave
ry of her sons was not surpassed by any of the
aetors of the times tiiat tried men's souls. Her
history, if Aiihfttlly written, would exhibit in
stances of courago almost without a psrallel In
the annals of the world. These remarks have
been made with a view of presenting to our Al
low eitixens an incident which occurred in the an
cient county of Effingham, tho inhabitants of
which were eminently distinguished for'their do-
votiou to the cause ofUborty during the American
Revolution. Wo think wo hazard nothing in
saying that it ought to occupy a high place among
the examples of bravery whioh so often occurred
iu tho glorious period ofthe revolution. Our friend,
Rev. Geo. White, has permitted tw to exaraiue
some of his unpublished manuscripts, which con
tain accounts of men and events which have nev

choice morsels for the entertainment of our read
er*. Among these Is an order of General Antho
ny Wayne, returning his thauks publicly to five

Sxiuen, of that ancient county, for their gal
lantry in repelling five times thoir forco,

Fire of Colonel Jackson'* dragoons and young
Snider were surrounded and fired.upou a littlo
before day light on Sunday Morning at old«Sni-

Major Dell, but without effect. Tho fire was re
turned by Snider with so good a direction as to
leave the Mnjnr dead on the spot. A pistol fired
by one of the dragoons wounded two morn of the

people on this occasion, the oiiemy flying with
such precipitation to their boats as to escape the

Mr. Webster’s Speech.
A synopsis of Mr> Webster's lata spsech in the
8enate will he found in our columns this morning:
Aa usual ho has placed himself upon the unpop*
tiler side of every question ho dUcnsses, and has
Allen into the immense mistake of euppoeiqg
that a majority ofthe people of thie country ere
opposed to tho acquisition of territory from Mexi
co. His main ground of objection to tho admis
sion of new states in the direction of the 8onth
seems to be the idea that they will bp oppoied to
the principle of protection. The protective tariff
Is evidently the sun of his political system, end
every measure which does nut revolve-quietly
around this centre light, lie rejects and discards.
His speech will doubtlese be interesting to our
readers, and we may comment ftirther upon it
hereafter.

Tho correspondence which w* give below in
roferoucA to the extent, population, resources,
and trade of that portion ofTennossee which will
be connected with us by the Rail Road communi
cation now progressing towards he completion,
will be of great interest to our readers. AlUiough
the information itconveya was elicited in Charles

own city. It gives us an idea ofthe great coue-
ty which will bo opened to us, and should stimu

to secure o due proportion ofthe trade that is oft
forsd.and to reap the harvest of money and labo4
already expended. We shall hereafter speak oi
fhe occasion whieh called it forth.
CttAtaBiTox, March 34, 1846.
Gentiemon—1 have so little time to see and
convene with you, that 1 hope you will excuse
me if I ask you by note a few questions. I wish
to understand the operation, the influence, the
control, your road will have, if built, over trade
in your State, as well as beyond it; To do this,
wo must look not only to itaisnasdAts results, but
to those that will grow out of it, be created or
caused by it. I will therefore ask you to set
down answers to my questions and send beck
questions and answers.
There is one point I would most particularly
Invite your attention to: Tho trade of the Cum
berland river and those counties affected hy the
Turnpikn roads leading into Nashville. The rea
son for this is, that this trado stands on a differ
ent footing from that of the Tennessee river in
this pnrticnlar, vix: When the Georgia roads
reach Chattanooga, the Tennessee river is, to a
considerable extuut, onr tributary. It sweeps in
a semi-circle of some six or eight hundred miles
in aud around your 8tate, both ends being, to
some extent, feeders at {Chattanooga; but the
Cumberland and all your turnpikos will be now
aud now wholly unknown sources of business.
To mcjfoe Cumberland river is on abject of deep
est interest. I know too little of It, end would
know more. I heard you eay it had a vast pro
duce and bore on Its bosom'a groat number of
steamboats You spoke once in conversation of
what 1 have thought much sitieo, and of which 1
wish to know more, much more—the mode of
carrying on its trade, viz: by smull end large
steamers on a regular and systematic plan. Fray
describe it for mo. I see marked on the map
towns high up into Kentucky—how far up is it
navigable t
I fear I shall give you trouble, but It may
not be a fruitless trouble, and I am sure you will
excuse it.
Yours, truly. F. H. ELMORE.
V. K. Stxvbnsox, Esq., and Committee.
1. What was the population of the State of
Tennessee in 1800,1810, 1830,1830, and 1840;
and what do you estimate it at now ?
3. What portion of that population will be in
immediate eonneetion with your Road when you
{ •t to Nashville f By immediate, I mean will
aye fltoniMA open to the Road, and can come
to it ifthey please with their produce.
3. What will that produce be? I mean the ar
ticles and probable amount of each for sale.
4. Whut are the note ezhting channels for
these communications? State the rivers, torn-
pike roads, See.
5. What navigable river* may be trihittarv to
the Rond, or to our end of the great line from
Charleston and Savannah, to and beyond Nosh*
villa? Pray name them, and how far up the* are
navigalU. I will epecify some, vix: The Ten
nessee; ffolston, Elk, Duck, and Cumberland—
the latter most especially.
•46. Whatis the extent of trade commanded by
the Cumberland river? Does it extend into
Kentucky I What A the number and character
of boats engaged ill it?
7. Are there any new turnpikes in progi
of construction which will enlarge the trade to
the terminus at Nashville or elsewhere ?
f Will tho construction of this Road to Nash-
villo bring any other Railrouds into existence to
extend or enlurge the area of trado ?
9. Will the opening of this outlet far your pro
ducts stimulate any increase of production, or
have you attained the highest point for that al
ready 1
10. Are there any reasons In the nature of
your produce and tho New Orieaus port and
market which will make Charleston and Sa-
vaunah more desirable markets for that produce?
V. K. Stbvbxson to Col. F. H. Elmore.
Charleston, March 25.1848.
Sirs In answer to your several inquiries in the
order in which they are presented, 1 have to
state:
1. That the population of Tennessee in 1800,
was!0o,003; in 1810,361.727: in 1820,432,813;
in 1830,683.904; in 1840, 839,910; and at pres-
ent it is not less than 1,000,000.
9. The population (in Tennessee) aceommo-
dated by the budding of this Road, and having
access to it by rivers, turnpikes, and common
roads, in convenient distance, is about 515,000
out of East Tenuessuo and beyond the influence
ofthe Georgia Railroad. In addition to tills there
»• population in Kentucky accessible to Nosh-
gy^Turnpikes aud the Cumberland river of
3. The present marketable produce of tho sec
tion of countty embracing this population, may
be stated as follows: 50,000 bales of Cotton,
700,000 sacks of Corn, 30,000 hogshead, of To-
bocco, 500,000 head of Pork Hogs for packing,
driving to market, and for Bacon, 31,000 Beef
Dottle, 40,000 Horses and Mules, 32,000 Sheep,
600 tons iof Hemp, MS,000 dozen Poultry, 3100
pounds 13
449,000 pounds ....
39,000 bushels Dried Fruit and Nuts, 17,180 bush,
els Peas and Beans, 33,000 gallons Appto and
Peach Brandy, 31,000 barrels Whiskey, 1G3,000
pounds Furs and Peltry, 40,000-barrdN Flour.—
There Is manufactured, mostly for sole, in Mid-
dlo Tennessee, of Iron, Negro .Cotton, and
Woolen Goods. Socks, Saddlery, Machines, Cot
ton Gins, &c., $4,035,000 worth annnzlly.
4. Twonty*one graded Macadamized Roads,
diverging from Nashville and penetrating the
country in all directions, and the Cumberland
River, with its tributaries, giving 800 tnilos of
Steamboat navigation, are tho now dieting chan
nels for these communications, aud accommo
date the prosont trade of Nashville.
5. The Cumberland River and its tributaries
tiirotighoni their extont will bo immediately tri-
ti*i" Rood at its western terminus at
Nashville. The rivers in the Mississippi Valley,
above the month of tiio Ohio, exclusive of the
Tennasseonud Cumberland, have 12,600 miles of
Steamboat navigation, all of which must, to a
great extout,ho tributary to this Road, for rousous
given in answer to yuur tenth inquiry.
6. The Cumberland River extends into Ken
tucky, aud is navigated hy Steamboats to Whit
ley County. This navigation passes through nnd
drains tho couutiuM of Pulaski, Wayne, Clinton,
Cumberland, RusmiII, Monroe, Trigg, Caldwell,
and Livingston, in Kentucky, and in Middlo
Tunnessuu it commands the trade of five-sixths
of the country described in unswer to second
question.
Thera aro thirty-nine steamboats engaged i
tiie trado of this nver. One third to New Orle
ans, currying from 300 to 1100 tons. Eight or
tan boats run in the trade above Nashville during
winter nnd spring, discharging their cargoes at
Nashville: and,being of light draft,euter tho trade,
in tho lower Cumberland, in summer and fall.—
Tho other boats make up n semi-weekly line of
S achets to} Cincinnati; two coml-Vveckly tines to
mithlnud, at the mouth of the Cumberland;
weekly lines to St. Louis ami to New Orleans;
and an irregular, but constant, communication
witli Wheeling aud Pittsburg.
7. There are three new Turnpike rouds being
constructed, which will Acti.'ate and increase the
I trade of Nashjjtic.
$ The construction of this Road tf ili pu .
If iUuce the building of Railroads extending
CM ft on the west side or the Cumberland
italn to Huntsville and Decatur, Alabama t
»to North {Mississippi. Also from Nash*
south to Colombia, Tennessee, west to
rippl River, and notth lo Louisville. Ken*
', and Cincinnati, Ohio. Tha Columbia and
•tippi Roads have been chartered,nnd Ken*
has chartered a Railroad from Louisville to
Itate line in the direction of Nashville.
0] There Is comp
bufa small portloq
.. _—_ —jporatively l... „ r —..
of tic Und ill cultivation in the district ofcuuntiy
tobs iccomtnodateil by this Road, perhaps not
•icetdmg a tenth port. If proper inducements
were offered, it U not too much perhaps to say.
that its productiuns might be increased tenfold*
Urge as they now seem to he.
10. There are many reasons why Charleston
and Savannah would be better markets for.tbe
Mississippi Valley than New Orleans. Blast of
thy produce ofthoMimlttippl Vailoy reaches Now
Orleans after thu 1st Juue, and U milch injured
from the heat and dampness in tins bold of*
stuatiboaL At least ons*rourth of the Tobacco
that left home In good order, and of good quality,
has, before arriving at Now Orlonus, undergone
wlm: is called a sweat, and not drying from it,
tpols, is crossed, that U, condemned, and aetls
for one quarter its value In a sound state. The
Corn, Wheat, and Rye are all mere or less swell-
id and softened from damp and heat. Flour,
Corn Mtal, Bacon, and Pork all undergo great
damage, so that the buyer at New Orleans refti
■es to give a price at all to compare with the val
ue ofthe same produce on tne Atlantic. Ask
him why ho offers no more, and lio wilt tall you
that the-voyage to New Orleans has already in*
jnred your produce, and its exposure ou the New
Orleans whorf in their humid and hot atmosphere
hoe heated it much, and not dried it, so that it is
in tiio worst possiblo condition for shipment a*
broad \ and that half of it would spoil on its long
voyage through the Gulf and round the Florida
Point to Europe, so that ho will only buy it at tho
price of damaged produce.
The intelligent owuer knows tills to be true,
and as the market is always ful est nt this season,
snd tho home detnaud not equal to half tiio «up*
pftfs the holder thinks I; best to take any prino, as
liisproduce launder Heavy exponsos, and deteri
orating each day from the elfoot of oliumto, so that
a short time would bring the quality to a point
where the cost of storage, Ac. would leave him
In dibt for its transportation to New Orleans.—
Such has often been tho case to our owu knowl
edge. This atato ofthe New Orleans market Is
most oppressive on the Northwest of the Valley
of the Upper Mississippi and Missouri, with near
ten thousand miles ot navigation, which does

ARtUVAL OFTHR GREAT WESTERN.
Ntoa Day* Later ftwm tha City el* Mextee,
Punctual to her day the royal mall ateara pack-
•ttireat Western, Capt Chapman, arrived at
Ship Island at 11, A. BL, on Wednesday last.
By this arrival wa hava letters and papare from
dur correspondents—our dates from the city of
Bletlcobrinf to the 13th Inst nine days later
than our laat accounts. The news Is interesting,
and will he found below.
The Great Western left Vera Crux on Satur
day afternoon, tiio 18th, bringing letters and pa
pers from tiiat city to her day of sailing. Mr-
Lane, Air. Mackey, Mr.Lluch and Mr. Bax came
over on her to this city.
It Is said that Gen. Twiggs exprtmos great
anxiety to visit the United Status, bo having baeu
five year* absent from his family.
Tne Free American ofthe 17th Inst, announ
ces the death of Lieut. Col Allan, ofthe 2d In
fantry. He had but reoantly arrived in Vera
Crux, on his way to join his regiment iu the in
terior. Ho was attacked hy bitiioita fever, and
died at 8 o'clock, P. M. ou tne 16th.
His remains were escorted to the grave by the
1st Regiment of Artillery and n great many of
ficers of tiio army, among whom were Gen.
Twiggs, tiie Limit. Governor, Capt. Winder,and
Dr. Wright, surgeon ofthe general hospital.
Santa Ajma has applied to Gen. Twiggs,
through Col. Ilughai, for permission to puss
through Vera Crux and out of the country. A
special express from Jalaps rescind Vera Crux
tne evening of the 10th lust, with the application,
and as tho general at onee granted the permission
asked, it was supposed the es-presideut would ar
rive there in a day or two.
A report is current In the city that the steamer
was detained at Vera Crux from the 17th to tiie
18th, to receive Sunta Amiu on board, and that he
is iu truth a passenger ou her. We mention (he
rumor, hut without putting confidence in.it. At
all eveuta, it was not known to the passengers
with whom we have conversed.
A large train was on its wny down from the city
of Alexico wlion tiie Great Western left. It wus
at Jslapa the evening of tho 16th inst., but a pri
vate express was sent through the same night to
Vora Crux by which we received our correspon
dence. There have been many resignations in
the army since tiio promulgation of tho} armis
tice.
It appears from one of otir correspondent's
letters that tho officers detailed upon the groat
court of inquiry have arrived in tiie city of Mexi
co, and that they were to commence their pro
ceedings on tiie 15th of this month.
We nave seen a private letter frdm the city of
Mexico dated the 14th inst, The Mexican and
English couriers arrived there on tiie 12tlt from
Vera Crux. There was mulling talked of at tiie
capital but peace. It is said that.foreign mere
chuhta are more displeased at it than any other
cluds,dreading as tltoy do the insecurity which will
fo|low the roitistatement of Mexican rule.
A merchant's train which lately went up from
Vora Crux to Orizaba was stopped by the guer
rillas and tiie merchants forced to pay a heavy
dutv ou their goods.
We infer from an article in the Free American
ofthe 17th hut tiiat Gov. de Soto (governor of
the state of Vern Cruz) was shortly expected on
a visit to the city of that name or its vicinity.
A Mr. Hastings, tho proprietor ofthe Orleans
Exchange iu Vora Cruz, was robbed of a trunk on
the night ofthe 15th, coutainiug $500 and valua
ble papers.
lit lngeido, published at Morelia under date of
the Utli mst., says: "A revolution has just brokan
out in Guadalajara, against the Government ofthe
Union, against peace, and ill favor of Gen. Santa
Alum.”. This we find in the Star of the 14th—
the latest paper from the city of Mexico. A rev
olution in the powerful State of Jalisco has long
been apprehended. That Department has long
been ahot bed of revolution*. Should this news
prove well founded, it bodes no good to the cause
of peace, but we hope Santa Anna may be woll
out ofthe country before the revolution reaches a
crisis. In tiie North American of the 14th we
find the following paragraph, which Avon the
idea that Santa Annuwilileave tho country:
Santa Anna nnd Paredes.—The Monitor stataa
that there i* a rumor afloat that Santa Anna and
Paredes had made up their minds to Hnne a joint
pronunciamento in San Luis, but tills, he adds
cannot be to,as two cats could not live in the same
bog,and that a person worthy of credit haa assured
him that he baa eoen a letter from Santa Anna to
a friend desiring him to place money for him in
the islaud of Jamaica.
Tho Star ofthe Othvays Senor Quljano, one of
the armistice commissioners, had gone to Cuer
navaca, with instructions from the Government
to make use of every means in his power to sup
press the Indian rebellion in that vicinity, which
we have before mentioned.
The North American of the lOtii inst. has ac
counts ofa revolution in Guatemala. Ifthatpa*
pur be accurately informed, Gen. Carrera nos
boon deposed from tiio presidential chair, and
the Vice President is acting in his place and eu<
deavoring to put down the insurrection.
Capt Kelly’s company of Florida Volunteers,
at Puebla, ordered to New Orleans to be dis
charged. Their time expires 8th April,
The Savannah Jfon/s.—Wearo pleated to learn
that travellers from the np-country of Georgia nud
Tennesseo, are beginning to torn their attention
to tho Savannah route,oven when visiting Charles
ton. Tliroo merchants—one from Walker comi
ty, Gs., and two from East Teunessee, left here
on Wednesday last, on their way to Charleston,
but determined to go by way of Savannah.
We understand tiiat the sisw schedule is to go
into operation next Alonday, whieh will render
this lull more luviting to the traveller. Passen
gers can then leave here in the morning, aud
arrive in Alucon tho same evening—and after a
comfortable night's rest, take the ears on the
Contra! Rail Road next morning, and arrive in
Savannah nt 6 o'clock in the evening. They are
then in a city equal to Charleston in every res

seventy-fee cents less than the fare from hers to

Thn following proclamation of the Popo waa
published at Rome on the lUth nit.:
"Pius P. P. IX.—The Pontiff, who in the
course of two years bos received from you so
many proofs of love and Ailh is riot deaf to yonr
desires, to your fear*. We never cease to madi-
tate within onfselves how to develops moat use
fully, consistently with our duties to the church,
those clyil institutions which we established, not
forced by necessity, hut from the desire for the
happiness of our people and tho esteem we felt
for thoir noble qualities. Weaho turned our
thoughts to the roorgauixation of tiie army, be
fore even public opinion demanded it: and w* have
sought tho means of obtaining the services of for
eign officers to aid those who honoruly serve
the Potifical government. The better to extend
the sphere or those who con bring their talents
and experience to bear upon public reforms,we
had also taken measures to increase the laical
port of our Council of Ministers. If tho unani
mous will ofthe princes tonvhom Italy owes the
new reforms, is a guaranty ofthe preservation of
those boons, received with so much gratitude and
applause, we cultivate it by maintaining nnd
consolidating the most amicable relations with
them. Nothing, in short, which may he condu
cive to tiie tranquility and dignity of tiie State
will everihe neglected. O, Romans and Pon l*
leal subjects*, hy your father and sovereign, who
las given you the most certain proof ofnis affec
tion for you, and is ready to give you more, if he
be worthy to obtain from God that ho may inspira
your hearts and those ofall the Italians with the
pucifio spirit of Ids wisdom; but ho is ready at the
same time to resist, by means of tiie institutions
already conceded, all disorderly violence, as he
would also resist demands contrary to his du
ties and to your happiness. Listen, then, to
the paternal voice that admonishes you, nor be
removed by that cry that proceeds from unknown
mouths, to agitato the people of Italy with the
terror ofa foreign war, aided and prepared by
internal conspiracies, or by the malignant igno
rance of those who govern. This is, indeed, de
ceit, to impel you by terror to seek pubtic safe
ty iu disorder; to confound by tumult the coun
cils of your ruler; and to prepare, hy creating
confusion, pretexts for a war that could never,
by any other motive, bo declured against us.—
What danger, inflict, can Impend over Italy so
long as a bond of gratitude and confidence, on-
corrupted by violence, unites the strength of tiie
people with tho wisdom of princes, with the sa-
cgpdness ofright ? But wo principally—we, the
head and sovereign Pouttif ofthe most Holy Ca
tholic religion, should wo not havo in our de
fence, if we were unjnstly attacked, innumerable
sons who would defend the centre of Catholic
unity tike the house of their father I It Is indeed
a great blessing among tiie many which Heaven
hath imparted to Italy, that scarce 3,000,000 of
our subjects havo 300,000,000 of brothers ot every
nation and of every tongue. This was in more
dangerous times,and in the confusiou ofthe whole
Roman world, the safeguard of Rom*. It is for
tills til* ruin of Italy was never complete. Tills
will ever be her defence, so long as tills Apostolic
See shall reside in her centre. Ob. then, great
God, shower thy blessings on Italy, and preserve
for her this most precious boon of all, faith!

with the benediction that the saints tp whom she
