THE SAN FRANC SCO.
\From the Charleston Courier, nth
Terrible Disaster.
Loss of the Steamship "San Francisco—Nearly
Two Hundred Lives Lost.
The fears lor the safety of the {steamship San
Francisco have been realized. The vessel has
been totally wrecked, and more than one hi n
' died and seventy souls have perished. The news
of this teirible disaster has inspired the people of
this city with profound grief, and will spread
sorrow throughout the Union.
We glean the following particulars from the
New York Commercial Advertiser of Saturday
evening, received by the James Adger. and tele
granhic dispatches received at the Courier office
during yesterday.
Tne British Ship Three Bells, Capt. Creigh
ton, arrived at New York on Friday evening,
with two hundred and thirty persons rescued
from the lost Steamer. The following is an ex
tract from Capt. Creighton’s log :
British ship Three Bells, (ol Glasgow.) Creigh
ton, Glasgow 45 days, with merchandise and 16
passengers, to McDonald & Co. Dec. 31. lat. 40
12, lon. 59 30, spoke the Steamship San Francis
co, of New York, Captain Watkins, hence for
San Francisco, having United States 1 roops.
The San Francisco being in a disabled condition,
having had decks swept, &c., and wanting as
sitance, concluded to lay by her, which we did
for six days and succeeded in getting on board
two hundred and thirty of her passengers, and
brought them to New York.
Our attentive New York correspondent, in a
letter received by the James Adger, says that
Major Wyse, the commanding officer of the
troops on board the San Francisco, after having
been rescued by the Three Bells, signed a bond
lor $20,000, to indemnify Capt. Creighton, ol
the Three Bells, for his losses, he having nobly
thrown overboard a large portion ol his cargo,
constitingof Bleaching Powder, Soda Ash, Salt,
&c.,to make room lor a portion of the San Fran
sisco’s passengers. It is to be hoped the Gov
ernment will largely increase the amount.
Among those arrived in the Three Bells, at
New York, is Edward Melius, first officer of the
San Francisco, who makes the following state
ment; ~
At 9 A. M. Thursday morning, Dec. 23, ship
left anchorage off Quarantine, with light breeze
from Southwest and clear weather, ami discharg
ed pilot; hove log, ship making 7* knots per
hour. During the night, wind and weather
much the same.
December 24, (sea time.)—Moderate breezes
from the West, and cloudy weather; employed
in bending studding sails, lor making ah sail.
At about 6 P. M. wind died away to light, bal
ding airs. The weather looking very threaten
ing. lurled all sail ; ship going 8 1-3 knots. At
9 P. M., wind came out suddenly and with tre
mendous force from the Northwest, causing
heavy sea. At 10 P. M., ship broached to ; set
foresjiencer and lore stay sail, when she again
fell off before it; set foresail, and gave the engi
neer orders to give her all the steam he thought
prudent ; snip went along 10 Knots, until 11 P.
M., when she again broached to in a tremendous
sea, and all endeavors to get her off were una
vailing; blew away forestaysail ; hauled up the
foresail.
At about 12 M. blew away forespencer and
foresail Irom the lee yaid arm; put a lashing on
the head ot the spanker to haul out the clew ;
ship laboreJ heavily; ordered the troops forward,
excepting those who could lay about the door ol
the upper saloon. All this tune the ship labored
very heavily, laying in the trough ol the sea,
every sea striking her tremendous blows. Ihe
engine stopped, the end ol the air pump piston
rod breaking off. and the air pump buckets con
sequently adrift. At this time the spanker
b!e . away, leaving the ship entirely at the
mercy of the wind and waves. She was making
considerable water. S earn pumps were kept
running, and hand pumps manned ; but the wa
ter gaining, the troops were organized in bailing
gauss, to pass up water through the engine room.
At 7 A. M. the tore mast went over the side,
with all attached, breaking about six feet above
upper deck.
At y A. M.. shipped a heavv sea amid ships,
carried
wfticti srnppeu
away starboard alter king post, both smoke
stacks, all the upper saloon, staving hall the
quarter deck through, and washing overboard a
large number ol soldiers, Col. Washington, Ma
jor Taylor and wile, Capt. Field and two ladle-,
names unknown, three civilians unknown, all
ol whom were in the aloon ; the soldiers having
been admitted to the saloon, owing to the se
verity ol the wea’her. A waiter named Brooks
and the barber, also a young man named Duck
ett, the carpenter’s brother, were killed by the
crash. Up to this time the water had been kept
under; but the sea raised the watei in the ship
so much that the soldiers almost give up in des
pair, and it was only by the greattst exertions
the ship was kept atioat. A gang ol soldiers was
set apart to hold blankets round the shaft to pre
vent the flowing in of water—made an attempt
to cut away the iriizen mast, but the ship la
bored so heavily it was not accomplished.
Sunday, Dec. 25, (sea lime.)—Heavy gale and
sea continued Irom northwest, ship laboring
heavily ; all hands engaged pumping and bail
ing—night more m derate, and we got the wa
ter down so that the engineers went to work
with the air pump—still at work heaving over
board provisions and coal to Tighten the ship.
About noon spoke brig Napoleon, ol Portland,
who promised to lay by us latter part ol the day ;
. more moderate.
Dec. 26. —Gale continued fresh from the North
west and a high sea. Engineers at work at the
air pump, soldiers bailing and pumping, and
lightening the ship. In the morning the Napo
lean was not to be seen by us; latter part more
moderate; employed in clearing wreck ol quar
ter deck, and about noon spoke brig Maria, ol
Liverpool, who promised to lay by us.
Dec 27—Continued with a strong gale from
Northwest and heavy sea; employed in clearing
the wreck, pumping, bailing, and lightening
ship; night much the same,and in the morning
nothing was to be seen ol the Maria At 10
o’clock, A. M. we again started the engine; it
worked about ten minutes, when the bucket ot
' the air pump, which the engineer had endeav
ored to mend, again gave out, and, in bending
the storm mizzensail, lost a seaman overboard,
named Alexander,and as night closed in saw a
barque hove to, to windward.
Dec 28—Commenced with a continued stiong
gale Irom Northwest and heavy sea; spoke the
barque Kilby, of Boston, who promised to lay by
us. During the night more moderate, and in the
morning, the baique still in sit ht. but a long way
to windward ol us, latter pait of the day quite
moderate; employed in getting in read ness to
embark passengers. At this time. Johnson, one
the h ad waiteis, died of diarrhoea.
Dec. 29 Weather continued moderate and
pleasaif; sea going down quite last; the baique
sent a boa*, and Capt. Watkins went on boaid;
he sunn returned and we commenced embarking
passengers about hall-past two. At 3, P. M.,
run a hawsei to th_- baique. which she held on
to. Belore night we succeeded in getting on
boaid the Kilby upwaid ol one hundred persons,
men. women and children, including Col. Gales
and lamily, Major Merchant and family, Captain
Judd and ladv, Leui Fremont and lam ly, Lieut.
Loestr and laujny, Capt. Gardiner, Lietlt Mur
ray, ot the United States Navy ; Vi r. Aspiliwaii,
Mr. J L. Giaham, Mr. J. Fameswoith, arm
Mr. South walk. Also sent on board a quantity
of stoles; during the night the wind increased to
squally weather. At about 10 o’clock the Knby

Was to he seen ol the Kilby. Latter part ol the
night strong bieeze Irom the Soutnwest and clou

■’waiter, died.
Dec 30—Cloudy weather, with strong gales
fron 1 the south-west, ship laboring heavily ; em
ploye-I >n stopping leaks anu canvassing over the
quarter deck. By this time a large number ol
the troop. s and hands had become sick ol diari oe i
and many dying daily. Continued to thiow
Coal oveiboariA and to freetheship liom watei.
Dec. 31. Moderate gales Irom the sou'h-wesl;
all bauds employed Stopping water out ol the
ship, and .hrowing coal overbo rd. Two A. ‘ .
made a ship standing westward; fired guns
'hroughout the night, and at 9 A. M. w s spo
ken by the ship Three Bells, Capt. Robt. Creigh
ton, of Glasgow, who told us to be ot good che- 1,
for he would la>. by us. William Wilson, color
ed waiter, died.
Sunday Jan. I.—Throughout the day a heavy
gale Irom north-west, accompanied by a heavy
-ea; ship laboring very heavily. The Three
Bells still in company, and occasionally passing
under our lee.
Jan. 2. —Gale from the N. W.continued, with
high sea, although the wind was somewhat more
moderate. We built two rafts, launched one of
them and made it fast, but at day light it was
gone. The ship, however, still kept in compa
ny. part of the day much the same sort
of weaKr. The Three Bells passed quite un
der our lee and communicated with us—still a
great many sick and dying among the troops and
firemen.
Tuesday , Jan. 3.—Commenced with moderate
gales Irom the N. W. Boat of Three Bells came
alongside, and Mr. Gretton, second officer, was
sent on board by Major Wyse, senior U. S. cl
ficer ou board, to charter her for the government.
During the night fresh gales continued from N
W.; fired gunsthrough the night, and the Three
Bells holding on to windward. At BA. M.
made another sail, running before the wind and
apparently steering directly for us. Hoisted our
colors union down, and the stranger, shortening
sail, passed close under our bows. She proved
to be the ship Antartic, bound to Liverpool.—
She spokes, and asked it we wished to'leave
the ship, IPwhich Captain Watkins replied that
he did. The Captain of the Antartic then told
us to be of good cheer, as he would take us'all
off. He then filled his maintopsail, and shot
ahead some three miles.
Wednesday, Jan. 4.—Wore ship and lowered
away two boats, the Three Bells also sent her
boat, and wp succeeded in embarking some 70
or 80 passengers before night. The Antarctic,
had her two boats stove just at night. Du ing
the night the weather was moderate and pleasant
with a prospect of a fine day. Fired our guns
through the night, and our companions burned
blue lights. At 7, A. M. commenced embarking
our passengsrs again. Latter part of night weatb
er quite moderate and pleasant; the Three Bells
got her long boat, and she being short of pro
visions and water, the long boat was much used
for transporting water and provisions. To day
the Antarctic was able to lower only one boat
lor want of oars.
Tursduy,Jun 5 —The weather being moderate
and pleasant, we got along quite fast in embark
ing the people and provisions; and by sunset we
had all tbe troops and a quantity of provisions
and water embarked. The night continued
moderately pleasant. At 7 A. M , 6th, again
commenced sending water and provisions tothe
Three Bells. We then embaiked tbe crew, and
by half past ten every soul was out of the ship
but Capt. Watkins, Mr. Melius, the chief officer,
and Mr. Marshall, the chief engineer. These
then embarked—Capt. Watkins being the last
to quit the wreck.
Mr. Melius states that the sickness and deaths
were confined entirely to the troops, firemen,
and waiters. Having no means of cooking on
board, they eat imprudently ol preserved meats
and Iruits, which resulted in diarrhoea. Theie
was no sickness among the cabin passengers, of
ficers ol the ship or crew. Mr. Melius states
that the captain of the Three Bells, ol Glasgow,
and the captain of the Antartic, as well as the
captain ot the Kilby, deserve the highest praise
lor their persevering exertions to save the lives
ol the people o. board of the San Francisco.
Lieut. W. A. Winder, ot the United States
army, has furnished the following narrtive to the
Journal ol Commerce:
The noble steam ship San Francisco, which
lelt New York on the 23d ult., in thirty-six hours
after she passed Sandy Hook, was a total wreck.
On the night of the third day, a violent gale set
in, and Lieut. W., whose state room was on the
upper deck, found that the after guards were
tearing up close by him, and that water wi
dowing i.i copiously. In a short time it-was a
foot deep, and the trunks and other Jfiioveables
were washing about.
About daylight, he got up, aturtfascertained thal
the ship had broached to, PjlKentmg her sides to
rough. He
mm n - L / MQI-,
then went into the lower
a group ol ladies collected at the loot of the
on mattrasses, to keep them from the
water, of which there was a good deal oil the
floor. Laying his head on one of the steps, and
holding on t 6 the banisters, to steady himselt, he
was soon asleep. Bu - only a short time elapsed
when the ship was struck by a heavy sea, im
mediately followed by a rush ot water sweeping
down the companion way, carrying with it pie
ces of timber and various articles Lieut. W.
was struck on the head and breast by the latter,
injuring him s-verely. and he was swept across
the cabin with a force almost sufficient to stun
him. After repeated efforts he was enabled to
regain his feet, and saw persons climbing up the
steps. He followed, and the scene presented on
reaching the deck was such as no peu can de
scribe.
The ship was rolling from side to side, at the
mercy ol the waves, the sea breaking com| le’ely
over her at eveiy roll. Belore him lay the bod
ies of two dead soldiers, kibed by the fall of the
upper cabin ; and the surface of the waves lor a
considerable distance was strewed with a great
number of soldiers who bad been brought into
the cabin to protect them from the weather,
struggling lor their lives. All the boats were
swept away, both wheel-houses are gone, be
sides a large quantity of live stock, intended lot
provisions, hen coops, &c. At least one hundred
and fifty men, including four officers, were
among the lost. The struggles of the drowning
animals frustrated the efforts of many to save
themselves, which otherwise might have been
availing. As it was, nothing could be done to
save them, and the whole were engulphed in a
watery grave. The officers lost were CrHonel
Washington, Major Taylor and wile, Captain
Kield, and Lieut. Smith. Nothing but the top
of the upper cabin remained, all the state rooms
having been washed away, with those who oc
cupied them. Some of the masts went over
previously. The primary cause ot this di-astei
was the breaking ot a littie piston rod to the air
pump, probably not more than 2J inches in di
ameter.
Duiing the gale, many persons were washed
off the ve-sel, but were enabled to regain—then
position by the return ol the wave which boie
them away. Sergeant Brown was washed ofl
no less than four umes. The first wave swept
him away twenty feet, and the next bare him
back. Several soldiers and two £abm passen
gers had similar experience.
The next move of Lieut. W. was to scramble
over the dead bodies b loie him, to seek a place
more secure. Officers were seen holding on to
the deck, to save themselves from going over
board. Thes'iipnow looked as though she was
lull ol water, and had settled down to the wa
ter’s edge, and Lieut. W. thought the d-ck wa

All that, day, the ship was expected to go down
every minute, but in the evening Capt. W# Kills,
who comiucted himselt with great bravery, •di
rected the officers to keep the privates baililig
water at the engine room, hoping to make t»e
pumps work. Incredible lobors were perforßf"
ed. For the first two days and nights the uweu
w< rked incessantly, and during four days ith
trifling intermission. The engineers wrlrkeii
night and day, trying to get the pumps ini mo
tion. Whenever the wind increased, balling
was continued more actively. Finally all Bauds
became completely exhausted, arm many were
sick. However, the water was got under as tV?
gale abated and efforts were made to lighten t®e
ship and stop the leak. Hope revived. %
On the 25th, a sail was descried, which prove' 1 /*
to be the brig “Napoleon.” Sue was said to b 4
short of provision and water, but her officers
after picking up some of the provisions thrown
overboard from the San Francisco,abandoned tfce
wreck. The wea’her was not so severe, hip
that she could have stayed by. The same da;*,-
'he brig Maria came in sight, but did not speak
Heavy blows continued tor fourteen days, during
which time bailing was continued. The nex;
vessel spoken was the barque Kilby. Though
short of provisions she agreed to take off the men
to the neaiest port. Accordingly an officer anti
twenty men were sent on board to commence
lightening her, by throwing overboard her cargo
ot cotton, &c. Those officers who had families
were then sent, with all the ladies cam i women.
&c., with sixty men, making in all 120 or 130
persons. Scarcely any ptovisions, howevei,
were got on board, and they previously had bu'
one barrel of bread and one and a ball ol water.
It is feared, therefore, that they may have suf
fered, as the night following she got separated,
and it is presumed bore off lor Bermuda.
Again left to their fate, despondency ensued,
and tbat night a terrible gale was ex|ierieuced,
and the ship made water fast, around the guards
and near the shafts. Three or four men were
constantly employed to hold mattres-es near the
shafts, and the bailing was continued. This
was done by the soldiers.
After the Kilby left, additional horrors came
upon them, tor the ship, repeatedly taking fire,
was threatened with destruction from that source
But, happily, this danger was averted. Through
out these trying times many of the officers and
men behaved heroically. The serv ces of Ser
•ieaiit Brown,of Company G, were invaluable.
For five nights bis eyes were not close ', anil he
ceased bis efforts only from sheer exhaustion.—
I’wo or three days intervened before anothei
ship was spoken. In the meantime, a teach l
mortality commenced among the troops, which
threatened to sweep off almost the entire num
oer. It is impossible to tell how many died, li
is known, however, that after the men were
transferred to the ship I'hree Bells, subsequently
spoken, twenty-four died, ten of them the firs
night.
The disease was a sort ol congestive diarrhoei.
sup|iosed to be induced by excessive eating ol
preserved meats. Many heart rending scenes
occurred. One corporal, with his wife and two
children, a.I died ih two days. The husband
d.ed first, and the mother was afterwards found
dead in her state room with a living child on
her bosom, ar.d a sister by her side, insensible
■ rom exhaustion. But soon after the men were
transferred to the Three Bells, the sickness d's
appeared. This ship’s lights were first seen in
trie night, and signal guns from the steamer, dis
charged about once eveiy halt hour, were an
swered with blue lights. It blew so hard the
-hips could not speak, but ideas were conveyed
by means of chalk maiks on black boards. Capt.
Creighton magnanimously stayed by till good
weather, though he was short of provisions and
leaking badly. The steamer sent on 500 to 700
gallons of water, and other supplies.
On the 4th day after the 1\ B. was spoken,
the ship Antartic was brought to the help ot the
s eam r, by Capt. Creighton, and by evening al
ot the men were transterred to these vessels,
with the exception of Capt. Watkins arid some
30 engineers, firemen, &c. In the morning
..ttese were t -ken off, and the vessel abandoned

LATE FROM MEXICO.
I From the N O. Picayune, I'Mh inst |
Later from Mexico.
Arrival of Gen. Gadsden from Mexico—Conclusion
of a Tiealy for the Purchase of the Mesilla Val
ley.
By the arrival of the steamship Texas, Capt.
Place, which we announced iri our evening edi
tion of yesterday, we have papers Ironi the city
of Mexico to the 4th inst, and from Vera Cruz to
the Bth inst. She was detained at the latter
place twenty-four hours beyond her time by bad
weather.
The Texas left Vera Cruz on the morning ol
9th inst., at 8 o’clock. She bring some thirty
five passengers, among whom is the Hon James
Gadsden, our Minister to Mexico. She also
brings $lO7 990 in specie on freight.
The arrival of our Munster, Gen. Gadsden
would uaturally awaken expectations of some
event of importance having occtrretl to induce
him so unexpectedly to quit his post and return
to the United States. We are glad to be able to
announce that that event is the conclusion ol a
treaty with Mexico lor the purchase ot the Me
silla Valley. We have not such full particulars
on this important subject, in the papers be'nre
us, as we should like to be able to lay he hue our
readeis this morning. A paragraph m the Vera
Cruz Ecu del Comeicio, oil be bth lust., announ
cing the arrival oi Gen. Gadsden in that city on
the previous day, simply states that, according
to assuiances which it bad received, he was on
his way to Washington to present to the Gov
ernment of the United States the treaty which
he had effected in Mexico on the subject of the
difficulties in reference U> Mesilla. Neither ol
the two Spanish papers of the city ot Mexico,
which we have received—the Siglo IX and the
Omnibus—has any notice either of the conel -
sioii of the treaiy or the departure of Gen G ids
den Irotn the capital. The affair, therefore,
would appear to have been discreetly managed,
and the departure ol Gen. Gadsden to have been
made very quietly, if no suddenly. The vigi
lant and reliable I'rait u’Uhion, in its issue ot the
4th inst, has, however, a notice ot the execution
of the treaty. It says: “The diplomatic con
lerences between the Mexican and Amencan
Pienqioteiitiaries have 'esulted in a treaty which
is no longer a secret to any one. In selling the
disputed territory ol Mesilla the Mexican Gov
ernment has sold an etnbai rassinent. In treeing
uiinselt from the 11th article of the treaty ol
Guedalufre, Mr. Gadsden has got rid of an oner
ous duty; but in abolishing this dangerous article
Selior Bonilla has closed the door against Aineii
eau intervention; lor who can deny that the du
ly ol defending a Ironlier in volves the light ol
coming to it and traversing it. We do not know
exactiy what is the figure ot sum that the Uni
ted States undertake to pay Mexco: it is made
ro vary Irom $18,000,000 to $26 000.007. This
intelligence has been received with joy by pub
<ic opinion. It is lor tbe treasury a resource,
which managed with wisdom and intelligence,
will naslen ttie realization ol those ameliorations
which the Cabinet contemplates.”
According to tne Mexican accounts, which,
as to results, at least appear tube quite reliable,
'he expedition of Walker has failed nearly, it not
quite as badly as might have been expected, and
quite as badly as the woist reports hitherto re
ceived here had repiesented. According to the
fra't d’Unnui the lacts may b: thus lesumed.
The duel of the “ pirates” finding his position
at La I’. z compromised, anil leaung an attack
• roin the inhabitants on their recovering trom
their panic, set sail on the 6th of December, and
proceeded to anchor in trie cove of Tod os los
Santos, not lar irom Cape St. Lucas This is a
desert bay, like many ot eis with which this
coast is indent'd It was here that he planted*
ms banner of two red st. rs, and proclaimed his
presidentship and his independent republic he
lyK*the open sea, the coast, and the desert hot :-
f spouse. Counsel was takenfaud it was decidJß
j to surprise Santo l'omas, a small market town]
i f situate about forty seven miles (rom the bay.
' Santo l’omas is an old Jesuit mission station,
I with a chuicb, a convent, and a tew houses. In
the whole district scaicely 200 armed men
■ Could be collected. The expedition ol adventu
, Ters proceeded by land t.cross a dry and desert
, country, completely covered mess and
mils They had canied off from a lairn situate
near the bay some horses ami other beastsol bur
den, and were advancing without any mistrust,
when they lound themselves suddenly surround
ml and attacked by Capt. Castil'o Negrete, the
captain commandant of Santo Tomas, who had
leceived intelligence of their movement. The
disconcerted expedition refreated for the purpose
of rallying at their headquarters, sustaining a
loss of lour men. On arriving there, hey found
the bay empty. The captain r.t the Caroline,
seduced by the offers and remonstrances of the
two Governois (Kebolledo and Espinosa) piis
oimrs on board, had set sail A despatch irom
Espinosa himself announces these facts, and adds
I that himsell a d bis companion Reb>lled», had
been landed by the captain of the Caroline at
Cape St Lucas. The Trait d’Union thus coil
eludes its latest notice of this matter, with these
remarks: “ What has been the lot ot these lor
ry men, abandoned on a hostile shore, ill the
midst ot an exasperated people? It is easy to
loresee. It is no longer a warfare; it is a chase ’
The. Caroline is said to have been captured.
The Mexican Government has purchased two
•steamers, destined to watch and protect the
coasts of the Pacific. “They will have plenty
'o do,” says the Traitd’Union Despatches had
been received at the capi'al of the organization
uni presence of large i:>rce. b »th in Sonora and
Lower California, tor the defence of the territo
ry. withabumlanciWf resouices.
The TrcCll d Union quotes 'he Universal as con
fiiming the rejxiit thai all the diffi. ut'les connect
• d wi'h the Tehuantepec question hnl been re
moved ami that the works were abour to he
commenced without delay The undertaking,
i* is added, at present, rested oil the gliaran'ee o
an English house ol good standing In its issue
ol the 4'b Hist., however, the Trait d' Union
-eems scarcely satisfied with the state ot the al
air. “Reflecting people,” it says, “who imeres'
hemselves in the positive interests of the coun
ry, have been struck by the silence of Mr
Pierce on the subject of the Tehuantepec affnr.
I- this irom douot. from h-s rve, or on account
o disapprobation? We are much emhairassed
mr a reply to this threefold alternative For our
parts, it is from reserve. We are assured that
this important question has been treated iluiing
the late conferences —at least it has been touch
ed on. Everybody hopes that the Senate ot the
United States will definitely settle it when p
hall be cahed on to ra lll y the treaty concluded
during the pas’ lew days.”
“ 1 bis qu--»’io ioi IVhuantep'-c,” it continues
•'so oflen taken up abandoned ai d resumed, so
agilat-d, so dis'r night, by unloiseeii incidents
seems to be bound,at length, to be reanz-d and
embodied in wood and iron. But bowe er much
• t may have been agitated, it is tar irom being
exhausted. It has a healing which the future
alone can develop. The discussion has hitbe to
embraced only the Isthmus, and has not. con
template*! the res ; but it is time to think of it, ami
o say some wouls on it here. Ceitai ly, theuu
lertaking is a great one, and. no mater who
carries it out, it will he one ol the gr atest woi ks
of the Centiuy. But it we are o be contented
with leveling or piercing a route ot communica
tion between the two oceans, only slight benefit
will have been conterr-d on the Mexican Rs
public. Mr. 8100 is about, to do h r what
'hat. phys cian of Molieres would do who put
the heart on the right sice. Ti e heart ol the
Sliepublic will not go to the right side, nut to tiie
-outh As lor the interior towns, and the in
terest already eut.ib istied. they will find trn-m
--selves deceutraliZid, and wnJ lose all that
'he southern provinces may gain. Belore
ten years the revolution will be accomplished.
To neutralize so rude a change there is only
oie thing to be done Hencefoith we must
'hmk of connecting the Isthmus with all
the large cities, and with all the centres ol
the interior. There must be railroads every w here
—irom Mexico to Guanajuato, to Vera Cruz &c.
&e , Stc. Without this precaution, God knows
what disorganization, what convulsions, what
destruction landed property will undergo in
twenty years hence.”
Gen. Lombardmi, Commandant of the First
Military Division, and one ot the chief actors in
the late revolution, whose illness we noticed in
our list intelligence from Mexico, died on the
22d ult. His luneral was celebrated on the 24th.
with all the military honors established by the
old Spanish statutes. His inanimate body,decked
with all bis insignia, was bone along uncovered.
He was very popu'ar and much lamented. One
ol his aides-de-camp having exclaimed in griel
tor his death, that the physician had killed him,
the latter narrowly escaped injury, and was in
sulted and menaced by some who understood the
exclamation to be literally intended. So says
the Trait d’ Union, which pays a warm tribute to
the excellencies of the decea ed.
The report of the amnesty, received byway
of Tarnpico, and published in our editonsof yes
terday, is fully corroborated. Several have
already returned to their homes under it. The
Trait d' Union and others earnestly appeal for a
general amnesty, extending to those who have
left the country, and it seems not improbable
that Santa Anna will grant it.
Gen. Aicorta, Minister of War, has been com
pelled to resign in consequence of ill health.
His successor, it is believed, will be Gen. Morary
V l ll a m 1 1.
The Island of Carmen has been opened to
foreign commerce.
The inhabitants of Tampico having implored
the Supreme Government to allow the intro
euction ol 4000 or 5000 barrels of foreign flour,
notw ithstandniging its prohibition by the t"-
riff, in consequence ot their want ofiood, it is
believed the permission will be accorded.
