On Monday eveniug, 20tli Feb. as was expec ted, the Cuurtof Peers condemned Fiesrhi, Mur rey and Pepiu, to death, Buiren to twenty years’ iiuprisouiuettt with hard labor, but acquitted the remaining prisoner, Beschcr, who. during the same night was discharged. The effect of the sentence otiou the prisoners was various. Fies- ' chi appears to have hecu thundcistrpck at first, became frantic, but afterwards recovered his self- possessiou, and was described cveu as cheerful. Morey, tho old man, received the cntuuim.icatiqn of his doom with resignation; hut all tlic feeble ness of Pepiu’s < Inu'acter was made manifest when it canto to Ins turn to learn his lot. On Friday morniug, nt teu minutes past eight o'clock, tho awful sentence of law was carried into effect upon Fieschi and his accomplices. Pepiu was the first to descend from his vehicle ' He mounted the scaffold with a lirin step, aud ex hibited in his entire deportment a degree of calui- uess aud resignation that formed a strong con trast with the weakness and irresolutiou display ed by him during his trial. Ou reaching the fatal pisiform bo bowed to the assembled multitude, resigned himself iuto the bnnds of the executiou- er, aud iu another moment censed to oxist. The appearauce of the next prisoner (Morey J who ascended tho scaffold excited au intensely paiuful feeling among the populuce. lu conse queaco of his extreme debility, be was actually lifted on tho scaffold by the executioner and his assistants, by whom he was strapped to the fital board. The knife theu descended, anti almost be fore the countless and breathless multitude could perccivo the sigual given for its fall, the wretched criminal was a headless corpse. Fieschi, though he satv the axe raised, colored with the blood of his accomplices, never showed tho slightest emotion of fear or horror, but contin ued to couversc with those arouud him till the us- ststautexeciitiouer laid his hand upon hisshoul- dor as indicating that the latal moment bad arriv ed. lie mounted tho stops with extraordinary rapidity, aud placing himself iuihc attitude of an orator, pronouuced the following, words with a dear aud firm voice: “I am about to appear be fore my God. 1 have told the truth. I die con tent. 1 have rendered a service to my country by pointing out spy accomplices. I have told tho truth and no falsehoods, as 1 call upou Heaven to witness. I am happy aud satisfied. 1 demand F iirdon of God aud man; hut above ail, of God. regret my victims more thau my own life.”—> Upon this be turned quickly round aud delivered himself into the hands of his executioners. The eutire of tho fatal ceremony occupied but tho brief spaco of five minutes,, it being exactly that time after eight o'clock when tho reeking axe fell upon the last of the criminals.

Sir—Iu the present confusion of the political authorities of the country, aud in the absence of the Commtiadvr iu Chief, I beg leave jo commu nicate to you the -ituatiou of the garrison Yon have doubtless already seeu my official report of the action of the 25tfa .ult. made on that day to Geu. Sam. Houston, together with the various communication- heretofore sept by express; 1 ahull therefore confine tujsdf to wuat has trans pired siuce mat date. From the 25th to the present date, the enemy have kept up a bombardment from two howit zers, (one a five and a holt inch, and the other nu eight inch.) and a heavy cannonade from two niiio pounders, mounted on a battery ou.tho op- pos'le side of the river, at the distance of four hundred yards from our walls. During this po- riod the enemy havo been busil) employed iu en- circliug Us with cutreii' iied encauipmctits ou all sides, hi the following distances, to w it:—lu Be- jar four hundred yards west; iu Lnvillera, three hundred yards south; at the powder bouse, ouc thousand east by south ; on the ditch, eight hun dred yards uorth east; and at the old mill, eight huudred yards north: Notwithstanding all this. company of thirty-two men from Gouzales made their way iuto us on the morning of ihe 1st iust. at 3 o’clock, aud Col. J B. Bonham, *» cou rier from Gonzales, got in this morning at 11 o’ clock without molestation 1 have so fortified this place, that the walls are generally proof a- gainst caunou balls: and I still continue to in trench Oil the iusidc, aud strengthen tho walls bv throwing up the dirt. At least two hundred shells have fallen inside of our works without having in jured a single man, indeed we huve been so for tunate as not to lose a iiiiin from auy cause, and wo have killed mauy of the enemy. The spirits of my men are »till 'hi^h. although they have had much to depress them. Wo have cniitcuded fur ten days against an enemy variously estimated at from 1.500 to 6000 men,, with General R xnirez Seizina and Col. Bat res, the aid de camp of Santa Anna at their head. A report was circulated that riauta Auila himself was with tho enemy, but I think it was false. \ reinforce ment of about 1000 men is uow entering Bcjar from the west, and I think it more th n probable that Santa Anna is now in town, from the rejoic ing we hear. Col. Fannin is said to be ou the march to this place with reinforcements, hut I fear it is not true, as I h ive rept uiedly sent to him for aid without receiving any. Col. Honhnin, my special messenger, arrived at La Bahia four teen days ogo, with a request for aid ; and on ihc arrival of the eneim in Brjar ten days ago, I scut mi express to Col. Fain.in, which am veil at Go liad the next tlay, urging biiu to scud us rein- forcemeats—none have yet arrived. I look to tin- colonies alone for aid : unless it arrives *oou, I shall have to fight the enemy ou hi- own terms.— I will, however, do the best I can under the cir cumstances: Hinl I fee I confident that the deter mined valor aud desperate courage heretofore e- viticed by my' men, .viil not tail them m the last struggle; and although they may lie sacrificed lu the vengeance of a gothic enemy, the victory will cost the enemy so dear, that it will be worse for him than a detent. 1 hope your honorable body will hasten ou reinforcemeuu. annum.itiou aim provisions to o;u aid as soon as up»ible. U c have provisions for20 days for the men we have; our supply of nuuuuiritiou is limited.—-At least five huudred pounds of cannon powder, aud two hundred rounds of six, nine, tw elve and eighteen pound balls—ten kegs of rifie powder, and a sup ply of lead should bo sent to this place without delay, uuder a sufficient guard. If these things are promptly sent aud large re- iuforcemeuts are hastened to this frontier, this neighborhood will be the great decisive battle ground.

Fret Negro Suffrage in .Veto York—Mr. Vau Bnrcu is violently assailed by the nullifying press, because fifteen years ago, iu revisiug the consti tution of Now York, be voted for a clause per mitting free nogroes in that State to vote, if “pos sessed of a freehold estate of the value of two huudred aud fifty dollars.” These eulightotiea politicians do uot point out any tiling wrong in this vote. They seoni to believe there is so much cowardice and ->clfishucss iu the southern char acter, ihat it is only necessary to sound au alarm; aud instantly the fears of our people will be star tled, aud they will unite in hostility to auy man accused of differing from them. Tho nullifiers seem to have formed a most uuworthy estimate of the character of the people of ihe-oouth. lt is fortunate for us that they are in the minority. If our character hud been iu their keepiug during the last few years, wo should have lost all repu- tatiou fot courage, aud liberality, uud justice. This votemav. or it may not, have heeu judi cious. Weprctcud not to deterniitfe what regu lation ou this subject is suitable to the condition of tho people of New York. This provision is approved by that people: auil why should it be made a subject of complaint with citizens of Georgia, on whom it does uot operate? Are we so intolerant as to require every mau, ia every part of the world, to -be an enemy to the Africau race wherever they may he fouud ? Aud are we such vile cowards as to be alarmed at a poor pri vilege granted to a small huudfui of Afrirnus in a distant State, which cauuot extend auy iuflu cure to the slaves within our limits? The use which the nullifiers make of this topic, is au iu- sult to the rioulh. Every man of commou sense must perceive, that it is the duty of the legislator to adapt his laws to tho condition of the people, for whose government they were. made. A legislator ap pointed to make laws for the colony of tree blacks at Liberia, on the coast of Africa, could uot be so ineffably stupid, ns to endeavor to adapt his laws to the condition cither of the free negroes iu the midst of tho white population of New York, or of the slaves in Georgia, lt would be the first dictate of common sense, that his laws must be suited to the coudition of the Liberian colouUls, on whom they are to operate. Ou the other hand, a legtslalot in New York would be guilty of extravagant folly, should he, overlooking the condition of the people of that Slate, adapt bis laws to the c.»u«kuc«» of the free colonists of Libe ria, or of the African slaves of Georgia. Bat oureuligbteucd politicians huldjn defiance, these plain dictates of common sense; aud they require that Mr. Van Hurcn. while acting as a le gislator lor the State of New Yerk. should forget his situation, aud voteasif he were sitting iu the l.-gislature of Georgia. Slavery had beeu abol ished in New York; the Africans residing in that state were a small and feeble part of her popula tion; and it became a question of internal policy, to be dcteiniined'by her statesmen, whether any part of them should be allowed to participate in j the exercise of the elective franchise, in voting for such a regulation as ho believed to be adapt ed to the state of the population of New York, Mr. Van Burea performed his duty to his constit uents; aud the regulation for w hich he voted, be ing (tinned in its operations to that State, docs uo injustice to auy other people. lit Georgia, the state of things is very different Domestic slavery is ati important element in the constitution of our society; and free blacks exert a most corrupting und dangerous iufiueuco over the minds of our slaves.. A political privilege which might be snfely granted to the free blacks of New York, no sane man would bestow ou the freo blacks of Georgia. The vote of .Mr. Van Harm to graut the elective franchise to a small portion of the free blacks of New York, furnishes no evidence that he desires to bestow this privi lege ou the free blacks of any sontheru State.— It is uo just cause for Southern hostility to him. Nor have wc any reasou to be dissatisfied with the accidental and iudirect influence which this internal regulation of New York may have on our colored . population. Privileges grained to free negroes in tho unrtherti States must operate nsau inducement to this most pernicious part of our population to leave the South; aud will thus he subservient to that policy, which requires us to get rid of them. We believe ihat every man who will reflort on this subject, must admit that the voteof Mr. Van Bttreu, on which the uul'ifiers are straining to kin dle southern hostility to him, is no violation of the rights of the South, no interference with the interests of the South, no evidence of hostility to the welfare ol tho South. We believe that the brayc and generous South, far from being fright ened by the simulated alarm of the nullifiers, will support with zeal, a niau so reviled ; and that the unjust accusatinus of his cuemies, will ag .in strengthen him in the affections of the people : that they will be the precursor to a more splendid triumph.

Not withstanding the unparalleled severity of the weather subsequent to the shipwreck, they have used uurcmit-.cd excftious to recover and restore to the ag nt of the underwriters, the most valua ble portion of the cargo; and we aro glad to learn for the sake of all concerned, that success has crowned their oudeavors. Of course, they have had abundant oppottumty to appropriate to tneir own use, any portion if tlic manufactures which they pleased—but there is reason to be lieve that every article which has been recovered from the ocean, has been accounted for v,itb the agent. We have the authority of the un-leru ri ters for asserting (hat there were on board at the time when the disaster look place, about fiv. thousand pieces of Kusrian manufactures, wlti-'b were immediately scattered over nil extent of iva ter *<md coast ufa mite &a half,but ail have been found and dragged from tbe watei by the inhab it au is of Cohasset, exceptiug about three huu died pieces, and handed over to the a.:tnt of tf'e underwriters!—and a grea part of the remainder will in all probaiHlity yet be found Of 1080 pie ces of thick duck, atm Nos. 7 aud 8. all have been recovered excepting 92.

An ImportanC Arrest.—for several mouths pass (says the Baltimore Pat. of 2Gih ult.) the Treas ury Department has been in possession of infer ■nation calculated to lead to the detection of the persons engaged iu cauriugjhe destruction by fire ofthe-.Treasury °ffice nt Washington about 3 years past. On Wednesday la-t a person was arrested in the city of New York, charge I with firing tho building with his owu hands, hired to commit tbe act, as we have heard, by some of thos!- who had committed frauds upon the Pen sion Office, which they wished to have oes’royed to screen tlu-ir guilt. Other persons, we hear, before this, will have been arrested in the west ern part of New York, one in Vermont,' anti an other in Ohio. The person that was taken in New* York, was hi Ought on yesterday in the; steamboat line in charge of Mr Blaney, the high constable of Philadelphia, Mr Kelly, Deputy- Marshal of Ohio, and Mr Merritt, ol tho New- York Police, l'he officers left Baltimore this moraing with their prisoner for Washington, where the trial is soon to take place.

Head has been enabled to sail iu smooth wa»er hut a very brief period of his po- Jiticql voyage in Upper Canada. When lie com menced his administration, all the liberal tongues and pens were loud in his praise, and their joy at his accession to the government, was only equal led by that which was felt ou the retirement of Sir John Cofoorue. Ami when, a few weeks since, the baronet infused a largo portiou of li- burnittih iuto the executive council, his democra tic friends were quite sure of their man. True, ou the nppoiutuieut of Captain Macauley to be sur veyor general, they were somew hat dushed; but he vv as compelled '-oluntarily to resign in a couple of days, ami all again was well. On opening a Toronto paper ihis mot ning, however, we were startled.by tho following communication, iu the won's and. letters following, viz : Highly important.— Dissolution of the Execu tive Council hy the resignation of all its members, which was accept< d late on Saturday ajternoon.— Messrs. Robinson, Markland. Wells, Dunn, Bald win and Ralph, no longer Executive Councillors. Sir Francis and his Algerine Government exposed. Proceedings of the Legislature, and state oj the Colony. Accompanying tins ainmucjation is a long and furious commentary, filled with abuse of the uew governor, but affording no direct information as to tbs cause of the resignntinus—other than the Rumors at Washington.—Wc learn from aW authentic source, that Mr. Livingston will be sent back to France as minister, although, after w hat has passed, such an appniufmcm may uot be ve ry palatable to the French Kmg. It is said that Mr. Cess will nevertheless go out of the War De partment, oud that Mr. King of Alabama, and not Mr. Hpeaker Polk, tyill be his successor— Del. Journal. Surplus. Revenue.—We learn from tile Globe that the Post Master General ‘fully approves of the plan iu Mr. Grundy’s bill, «f employing a por tion of the revenue in purchasing from rail road companies the right of the Goverum’t to use them for the transportation of the mail, and for other purposes-of a public character. Tht Surplus Revenue.—Wc have reasons for believing*, (says the Philadelphia Gazette) that a proposition will be shortly submitted to Con gress. for loaning tho Surplus Revenue to the different States, in the ratio of. Representation. without interest, to he repayable when demanded by. Congress, with interest from the designated date of repayment Such a measure, it is thought would obviate tho constitutional soruplos of the Southern members who aro opposed to the dis tribution of the revcuue, aud could not fail to lie acceptable to tho whofe people. Instructions.—The Pennsylvanian of the 1st inst. says:—“The resolutions in the Pennsyl vania Legislature instructing our Senators iu Congress to vole ngutust expunging, have been postponed until the extra session, by a majority of one vote - iti tho Sctmio. The bill establish ing a branch of the U.
