waseiousness of irresistible—superiority on the part of the victor, and of something, at leait, approaching to hopeless despondency on that of the vanquished. We allude particularly to the pecuniary indemnity, on which it will be neces sary to dwell at some length. The sum stipu lated to be paid is•ten millions of golden ducats, exclusive of one million and a half on account of the merchants' losses. Of the first named sum, a million and a half is to be what is called prompt payment ; but this expression is not to to be understood in a literal mercantile accepta tion. In the present instance, it is to be di. vided into three equal i►►stalments : the first to be made good before the Russians give up the possession of Adrianople ; the second previous to their repassing the Balka►► ; and the third on their arrival at, and crossing the Danube. Si listria is to remain in the hands of Russia until the whole amount of the indemnity is paid ; and the four Asiatic fortresses mentioned in the pub lished accounts are to be ceded in perpetuity.— When, in addition to these humiliating conces sions, are added the throwing open of the Bos phorus and Dardanelles—not to merchant ships only, but to men of war—the absolute abandon ment of direct dominion over Greece, taken in all its ancient extent—(on this part of the sub ject we shall have occasion to enlarge)—and the probable loss of Egypt, which is an event sup posed inevitable by persons the best acquainted with the subject—it ►s scarcely too much to say that the Ottoman sway has ceased to exist. To these severe conditions the British Ambassador at Constantinople was in no way a party, nor have they the sanction of his approval ; at the same time it is perfectly well understood, that from the previous course of events he had no means of prevention without involving the na tion which he represents as a principal in the war. The Prince Metternich, the Austrian Prime Minisrer, has been heard to declare that the preliminaries of Adrianople, if followed up by a definitive Treaty on the same conditions, may be considered as the death-blow to the Ot toinan Empire.—lbid. In addition to the facts communicated in our impression of yesterday, on the subject of the recent seizure in France, we have been put in possession of some authentic particulars, which will give our readers a pretty accurate notion of the present position of the parties implicated in that mysterious affair. So far back as July last, the British Ambassador, in contemplation of the return of Lady Stuart de Rothsay to Eng land, had given orders to his London tradesmen to send over some Imperials and trunks which were necessary for the conveyance of luggage ; the order was complied with, but on the arrival of the cases at Calais, their unusual weight at tracted the notice of the Custom-house officers, who reported the circumstance to the heads of their department in Paris. The French audio ritiea, learning that the consignment bore the address of the British Ambassador, made the circumstance known to him, and his Lordship instantly declared his utter ignorance of their eontents, and desired that they might forthwith be opened and inspected ; the inspection took place accordingly, and the packages were found to contain a large quantity of cotton twist, leather and other articles, either prohibited altogether, or subject to heavy duties. On this discovery, the French authorities, probably from an unwilling ness to adopt towards an Ambassador any step which might be construed disrespectfully, pro posed that the obnoxious consignment should be xe-exported, instead of being confiscated, as would, under ordinary circumstances, have been its fate : to this proposal Lord Stuart assented, and the articles are now in England, where a rigid scrutiny has been instituted, and will be futio:ved up as it ought. From what we have said, it is clear that of the clandestine introduc tion o f forbidden articles of commerce the Ambassador was, as we said yesterday, absolutely ignorant ; but his acceding to the proposal to send back the obnoxious consignment uncon fiscated was, we must be excused for thinking, a hasty and not well-advised determination, more particularly with a precedent before his eyes, PIPED, upon a similar discovery, the then British Arnba*sodor insisted that the contraband articles s abould be rigorously dealt with, according to the lawn of the nation against which the offence was coma Cited ; and we would suggest to those in w h ose hands the matter now rests, upon clear proo f o f illegality (of which we apprehend there can be no qu otion), to remit to the French authorities the whole consignment, to be dealt with in whatever way the circumstances may be thought to require.—lbith Much of the inconvenience now felt in many parts of die country arrises from the rain efforts of men to oppose themselves to the changes which time, the great innovator, renders inevitable. Mr. Loudon, alluding to the distress he observed in different parts of the country, says-- h e low pcce of corn and wool, the increase of paupers and 0 . . c poor rates, and executions for rent and for asse:sed taxes, were almost the only sub jects that we beard talked of either by farmers or tradesmen ; aria . the influence of these evils we saw every where obv:. ous both in the landowners and their gardeners. . The landlord deeply in debt, and the tenant. with a long lease and an inexorable landlord, vaigit unavoidably suffer sooner or later." He remais, how dif ferently situated the landlord is who has not mortgaged his estate, and who can thus afford not to ruin his tenants. Mortgaging land is in a great measure the result of a Law of Succes sion, which originated in feudal times. The estate descends nominally to one, but parents must provide for their children, and hence the estate is biirthened. If we may credit Sir James Graham, the nominal owners of land in England do not at this day possess more than one-tenth put of the clear rental. This shows the incon venience resulting from any attempt to perpetuate in one family the occupation of estates. It would be much better were land, like other ehattles, regularly circulated, than that it should he kept in nominal ownership, with mortgages fettering the judicious occupation of it. In a commercial age every thing is measured by money. Money • leads to the highest honours, as is evinced by half the House of Lords having been ere,- at, d since the commencement of Mr. Pitt's :'Mini `try, from parvenus of Hebrew and Chris tian blood. Family passes in such an age for nothing. The younger sons of a gentleman de- Emended from one of the Norman conquerors, rank in public eztimation no higher than the son of a butcher or tailor, who gives as good din, ners, keeps as many servants, or wears as good a coat. Hence the necessity of making decent provisions for ,childeen, and dui abandonment, according to Mr. Humphrey, of the notion of making estates. The Catlnliic Religion seams adapted for the perpetuation-of families in coun triesin which there is lifietcororneme and in dustry. Religious Cortions, by holdi ng a large share of - the land such countries, atlord an asylum to the childret 91 the INublvise, and enable one son to take the family estate. But there can be no feudalism for a length of time in a Protestant and commercial country. The at tempt to provide for younger children at the ex pence of the public will not do, for the increase of burdens bring on a crisis by which the owners of estates are sharers of the common ruin. Mr. Cobbett often laughs at the estates passing from the old Gentry to the Jews and Jobbers. But these Jews and Jobbers, after becomine Gentle. men, have their estates taken by new men in turn. And why not ? What is it to the coun try who holds the estate, provided it is benefici ally cultivated, and the fruits of the earth are properly distributed through the country ? If the attempt to bolster up an Aristocracy by re strictive laws and mortgages be mischievous, and fetter the profitable occupation of the land, the sooner the estates get into other hands the better. The sun rises and sets. It is in the order of things that the high should become low, and that the low should become high,— /bid. The Times of yesterday, in observing upon the proceedings in Newark, affected to be ex ceedingly indignant with the Duke of Newcastle for ejecting his refractory tenants at will, to pre vent his influence in the borough being totally destroyed. We have stated our objection to the system of close boroughs, which is founded upon a usurpation of the people's rights, and is in op position to the spirit and letter of the British Constitution. It matters not to us whether that usurped power be exercised by the Duke of Newcastle or by his Grace of Bedford, it is equally opposed to the principle of free repre sentation, and ought to be abolished. The Journal in question, however, while upholding all that is base and rotten in Whig politics, pretends to be utterly astonished at a Tory Member of the House of Lords exercising an influence in returning Members to Parliament. The Times has actually discovered that aristocratic authority has something to do in the selection of the Re presentatives of the people. Such a discovery will, no doubt, go down to future times as an era in political science. In the vehemence of its " honest indignation," it asks what will Parlia ment say to this. We ask, in return, what will Sir James Mackintosh say to it ? What will Mr. Tierney say to it ? What will Mr. Brougham ' say to it ? What will Mr. Macdonald say to it ? What will Sir James Scarlett say to it ? What will many other Whig Representatives of the close borough system say to the exercise of Tory influence in the election of Members of Parlia ment ? Should such a case be brought before them next Session they will be at a loss for words to express their sense of the novel and porten tous evil. They will hardly believe it credible that the " purity of election" has suffered such grievous violation at any period of our Parlia mentary history ! The Times also feels indig nant that the " traffic in boroughs" should em barrass Ministers. Indeed ! Who, then, repre sents Westbury ? Did it embarrass Ministers that, when Oxford was lost, there was such a thing as a " traffic in boroughs" to console the disappointed candidate ? Have Government no boroughs at their disposal? Is the purity of" elec tion" a rule of political faith in the politics of the Treasury ? Away with this nonsense ! Is it not upon the records of Parliament that the sale of seats in the House of Commons is " as notorious as the sun at noon-day ?" The affected prudery of the Paper to which we have adverted is directed, not against the sin itself, but against the person committing it. Sir James Mackintosh escapes, but Mr. Sadler is branded. The Marquis of Lansdowne is honoured, but the Duke of New castle is denounced. We say let the system of close boroughs, whether in Whig or Tory hands, be done away with, and let the people be fairly represented. If there had been a fair represen tation of the people in the last Session of Par liament, their petitions would not have been treated with the contumely and disdain which they experienced. The nominees of Whig Lords then called the people " boors," and laughed at the notion of their forming an opinion upon po litical subjects. Yes ! persons in the class of the freeholders of English counties were morally disqualified by the opinions of Whig Senators and " Liberal" philosophers of the Press. Had the people been fairly represented, neither their intelligence would have been questioned nor Itheir petitions laughed to scorn.—Morn. Herald. We know not precisely what degree of credit ought to be attached to the various versions which are given of the proceedings which are said to have taken place previous to the signa ture of the treaty of peace between Russia and Turkey ; but if the fact be as stated, that the Sultan not only threw himself on the generosity of the Emperor of Russia, but actually solicited General Diebitseh to come to his aid, and re lease him from the importunities of the French, Austrian, and English Ambassadors, he must have been very sadly used indeed by his pre tended Allies—and, we fear, that when the whole particulars of the transaction have come to light, that it will be found that those who insti gated the Sultan to hold out to the last, and on whose support he relied when matters came to the worst, that some of them were, on the one hand, the first to desert him, and others so dila tory in their proceedings, as rather to have in jured than benefitted his cause. In the former class Austria stands first and foremost, and in the latter, we fear that we must, in justice, include both France and England. That the Duke of Wellington was sincere in his wish to support the Sultan there can be no question ; but the English Ambassador appears pot to have been furnished with sufficient powers to act according as circumstances might dictate, or General Diebitsch to have outrun the calcula tions of the Premier—and the English force and the English troops in the Archipelago might, in consequence, have as well been nearer home, for any use that they appear to have been to the cause which they were intended to support. But the affairs of the East are not yet ended ; and while it is impossible not to perceive that the basis of a future war is laid between Russia and Turkey 4/ the conditions of the present peace, we cannot help thipking, at the same time, that theie conditions are of th4t nature which neither France nor England will ultimately agree to sanction. The attempt on the part of Russia, if the fa,et be true, to dictate to the Porte respect ing the boundaries of Greece, without asking the consent of her two Allies, without whom, be it recollected, she had no right to treat on the subject, is a tojFrable sample of the cavalier manner in which she wane to act, as well as of her intention to make use of 6weege as a tool for the annoyance of Turkey ; but every other feature in the treaty which is said to have been concluded, bears the most evident marks of the most insidious and unprincipled ambition. If ratified, Moldavia, Wallachia, and Servia, will in future be Russian provinces—the coml.: try between the panube and the Balkan open to invasion at all times—and Constantinople itself exposed to attack at any moment that the Autc? crat of Russia may will it ! And can this be termed a peace ? But, as we have already ob served, we cannot believe that the Government of this country has acceded to it, or will under take to guarantee it, and until we know officially that it has done so, we shall not believe it. The Premier might, indeed, as well yield our naval supremacy at once, and permit a complete dis memberment of the Turkish empire, as agree to a treaty which paves the way so fairly for the destruction of the one, and the complete attain• merit of the other.—Morning Advertiser. The view taken by some of our Contempo raries of the conduct pursued by the Duke of Newcastle towards his tenants in the Borough of Newark amounts simply to this—that the power possessed by his Grace, and the manner in which he has exercised it, is a new proof of the necessity of Parliamentary Reform. We are decidedly of opinion—in common we believe with a great majority of the intelligent and re flecting part of the community—that the Con stitution as it is works well upon the whole ; and therefore, although we were to admit that the Duke of Newcastle had acted the part of an op pressive and tyrannical landlord, we should not thence conclude that the Constitution ought to be subverted. Individual misconduct can be alleged as a reason for altering the system of government in a country only by men who are the predetermined friends of innovation, and would scarcely be insisted upon even by these unless they felt themselves miserably destitute of arguments of a more general character. We cannot but rejoice, however, that our Contem poraries have taken this ground, since they thereby distinctly admit that their censure of the Duke of Newcastle is inseparably connected with their desire to alter the Constitution of Par- liament, and that if they thought the established system of government in England a good one, and a political revolution unnecessary, they could no longer see in his Grace's conduct any thing to condemn. To this ground indeed they must have been compelled to resort, for they could not long have maintained an absurdity so pal pable, or asserted a contradiction so direct, as would have been involved in the propositions that the existence of a certain kind of influence or power is legal and beneficial, but that its exercise in every particular case is tyrannical and mischievous. .The Duke of Newcastle, if we adopt implicitly all the statements even of his bitterest antagonists, has only done what every man who exercises an influence upon the state of the representation by means of his property may at any time be called upon to do—what men of all parties have done before, and what there is no doubt whatever every man of every party would do in the same circumstances, ra ther than submit to the overthrow of that in fluence which he and others have been hitherto accustomed to consider an inseparable appendage to his property. It is disingenuous and absurd in the highest degree to consider it as a hard ship upon the tenants of the Noble Duke to be ejected from their houses or farms, in conse quence of their having acted in opposition to the political principles of their landlord. This view of the case can be taken only for the pur pose of promoting the objects of a hostile party, and of exciting popular odium against an indi vidual whom it suits the momentary purposes of faction to depreciate. It is no hardship upon any man to fulfil the stipulations into which he voluntarily enters, whether those stipulations are of a nature to be fully expressed, or are only distinctly and unequivocally understood. Why do Members of Parliament accept the Chiltern Hun dreds when they no longer choose to vote in Par liament, in pursuance of the implied compact under which they obtained their seats ? Why, but that in the estimation of society, and in their own opinion, they would become infamous if they retained their seats, refusing at the same time to fulfil the condition by which they are held ? The tenants of the Duke of Newcastle have not the power of retaining possession of his houses and farms, and at the same time of voting in opposition to the tacit, but if we may judge from their own assertions, well understood con ditions upon which they have always held them. But is it to be thought a hardship upon an in dividual that he has not the power to do that, the mere attempt to do which, in the estimation of all just and honourable men, would be infa mous ? Patriotism disdains the alliance of per fidy and baseness. If the political influence of borough proprietors can be shewn to be mis chievoui, let it be manfully and honestly attacked upon general and consistent principles. Let the same measure of correction be applied to Whig and Tory proprietors. But let us be no longer disgusted with lamentations for the fate of men who only complain because they cannot desert a system, and at the same time retain the personal advantages it yielded them, or who more proba bly declaim against corruption only because they are prevented from reaping personal advantages from two opposite parties at once.—Morn. Post. INVASION OF MEXICO. (From the American Papers). " THE SPANISH EXPEDITION.—We have at length news of the landing of the rash and misguided Bar radas on the coast of Mexico. Captain Ssrgeant, of the brig Magnolia, arrived at Charleston from Havannah, with papers and price currents to the 23t1 ult., reports that a Spanish frigate, a gun-brig, and two transports, the Robin Hood and Triton, part of the expedition against Mexico, arrived at Havannah on the 22d ult., having landed the troops 30 miles south of Tampico, on their way to that city. (From the Baltimore American, Sept. 7.) " THE SPANISH INVADING EXPEDITION. " Captain Crothers, of the schooner Spartan, who arrived here yesterday evening in 12 days from Havannah, reports that a few days before he sailed, all the transports which had been engaged in con veying the Spanish troops to the Mexican coast, with the exceptio❑ of the Bingham, which had been driven into New Orleans, had returned. Captain Crothers conversed with the captains of the transports, many of whom were Americans, who informed him that the troops had all safely disem barked upon the American coast—one half of the number within the Bar of Tampico, and the rest about six miles below the city, amounting in the whole to 3,300 men. Immediately after the land ing of the troops, a body of Mexican cavalry, to the number of 400 marched down to the shore with the colours of the Republic flying, but upon approach ing the encampment, they hoisted the Spanish flag and joined the invading forces. The Spanish com mander then presented to each of the soldiers a doubloon, arid paid the amount of the arrears due to them by the Mexican Government. Capt. Crothers also reports, that the schooner Hound, formerly of Baltimore, had been chartered by the Spanish au thorities, and was despatched to New Orleans to transport to Tampico the crew of the vessel which had put in there. The transports now at Havannah had been re-engaged to convey a further supply of troops to the coast of Mexico. A few days before the sailing of the Spartan, a vessel had arrived from Omoa, haying on board a number of padres (priests) in a most destitute and wretched situation. " The evening the Spartan sailed, while within the Moro, she was boarded by two officers of the guard, ship, who rifled the trunks of Capt►in Crothers, raking every dollar of cash therefrom, whielQhey di vided between them. " Baltimore flour was quoted at Havannali at 13 to 15—a small cargo, it was supposed, would do well." " EXTRACT OF A LETTER, DATED VERA CRUZ, AUG. 13. (Communicated for the Network Daily Advertiser.) "You must have been informed already, that on the 27th ult. the expected Spanish expedition debarked at Cabo Rojo (Red Point) to the number of 3,000 men—the greater part negroes and mulattos. They threw us proclamations of peace and pacification, offering to pay for whatever they got, and for every infantry soldier who will desert to them eight dol ltrs, and 15 for a dragoon. " 7 hey remained there a few days, and when:the transports and ships of war had set sail for Haven nab, leaving only three of the latter, they marched to the Old Town (Tampico), dispersed three citizens, and there they remain. On the sth, a party of them went out to explore, and the Cossacks on the coast made an end of them—being 50 men; taking a cap tain and three soldiers alive. On the 4th Santa Anna sent 500 dragoons from Jalapa, Vera Crus, and Orizava, and o• the 6th he went by sea to Tecolutla, with 1,900 veterans, selected from the 2d, 3d, sth, ar.d 9th, permanent regiments, with two companies, arid succeeded in landing without impe diment. The infantry, commanded by Landers and General Santa Anna, chief of the troops, which hare come in from all parts, already to the number of 10,000 good merf. There exists a general enthu siasm—parties have ceased--every body is making loans and presents—the state of San Luis Potosi alone has offered 20 men, supported by their own rents. Of the present expedition, we are sure not one will survive; and if more come, they may ex pect the same. " Bustamente, Valdivielso, and all the best chiefs are gone down; such enthusiasm prevails in the army, that from this pl►ce even convalescents have gone to take up arms. A squadron which arrived at the water at Tuxpan, in order to avoid any delay in their march, swam their horses, placing their pistols on their heads to keep them dry, and were so fortunate as to pass without accident. A Mexi can Countess has offered to gine all the horses re quired by the Government. Another lady gave up to the Government securities to the amount of 3,000 dollars; and her husband, who is a retired Colonel, marched with No. 7th infantry as a common soldier. I should never stop if I were to attempt to tell all ; you will see more in the public papers. " On the 12th, Santa Anna left Tuspan with his division, to whom an officer and six of kis men from the invading army surrendered themselves. They stated that they had lost a vessel of the con voy with about 200 men, and that they have now 500 sick in their camp. " No one knows what they have come to do; but they will soon get their chastisement. Farewell. "I. T. Y." " PROCLAMATION OF THE COMMANDER OF THE 7TH REGIMENT TO TILE SOLDIERS WHO COMPOSE IT. (Translated for the New York Daily Advertis,.r.) " ' Fellow-Citizens ! Companions !—lf a chief prostituted his word last year, to arm you against your brethren, the friend whom you have now at your head, merely informs you that the Supreme Government announces to us that he has positive information that the Spanish expedition is now en our soil, to destroy our dear-bought and precious liberty. The frequent concurrent reports which he has receised on the subject of this invasion by our oppressors, proceeding from Havanna!), and other parts of those detestable countries, have induced him to employ his supreme authority through all its valiant defenders; and as we take a noble pride in counting ourselves among their number, we ought to hasten to enjoy the victory of which we ure secure, and their final destruction, so greatly provoked, and brought upon them only when they attempt to de prive us of our liberty and independence. "' I desire not to recall to your memory the at tempt of their Ministers, their vile arts and venal offers, for the blood of our liberators sufficiently ex hibits them, and demands our vengeance; and I anticipate only that a flame, a dagger, and a scaffold, would be our reward, and the inheritance which we should leave to our descendants would be the, most degraded slavery ; for I am thoroughly convinced, that the oppressors would die as soon as their pol luted feet are placed in our gates, if their well-known cowardice were capable of permitting it. " ' Yes, soldiers, in the field of Mars glory awaits you; and your heroic valour will be brought into exercise. Our enemies tremble when our name reaches their ears; and if you wish to see them con• quered, only pronounce the name of liberty, which you possess. A Guerrero guides you, and the na tion will follow him with decision. We are all idolutors of our country ; and before her liberty is lost, the last American will perish covered with glory. Naturalized in wars, and accustomed to pri vations, nothing will discourage us, as we disregard danger, arid look on:death when any invader assails our rights. We are unchangeably determined, and civic virtues are found in the camp. Self-interest does not actuate us : and as for cowardice, we know no such thing►. No hero has imitated the one svlio commands us; and his great prowess has made secret enemies to tremble. They may believe that our swords are sheathed; let us assure them that they are deceived; for in our land sacred liberty, whom they despise, has her• abode; and that the soldiers of the 7th Regiment will die with that glory to which all their fellow-patriots have been aecustomed, when it is for the defence of their liberties. " ' Friends! I know you !—I am acquainted with your virtues. I know your deeds, your sufferings, and your resolution ; I know your decision, and I will be warrant for your gallantry and constancy. But, finally, I remind you that the knowledge and fulfilment of your duties as soldiers must be made more perfect ; and that when the citizen dies for his country, he will die with glory, blessed by his friend., and having performed the sacred oath to defend with his blood liberty and independence. " Mexico, July 22. "' FRANCISCO ARCE.'. " Commodore Porter is said to be under arrest in Mexico." " LATEST FROM MEXICO. (From the Louisiana Advertiser of Aug. 18.) " Capt. Choate, of the schooner Venus, from Rio Grande, arrived here on Sunday, brings intelligence from the Spanish squadron, anchored at a small port about 15 leagues south of Tampico, and that the troops had effected a landing. " On the 10th of July Gen. Santa Anna and his army arrived in the city of Vera Cruz. Three days afterwards he demanded of the merchants of that place 50,000 dollars for the support of his troops, but was only able to obtain 16,000. On the 15th he laid an embargo on all the vessels in the port of Vera Cruz and the island of Sacriticios; and on the 22d issued a Proclamation forbidding the different Consuls to hoist the signals of their respective na• tions. On the 31st of July the embargo was raised. " The foreign merchants throughout the country were apprehensive of a second attack on their pro perty, and were shipping their most valuable articles as fast as possible in British and French vessels of war. No American ships of war in port. " VERA CRuz, AUG, 15.—8 y letters from Tuspan, which have been received in this city, dated the 11th inst., we learn positively that Gen. Santa Anna remained in that place with the expedition under his command, making every preparation to give the Spaniards a warm reception. The same letters say it was reported in Tuspan that the in vaders of Caho-Rojo (Cape Roque) had gained some advantages over 150 or 200 citizens, whose intrepidity carried them too rashly into the presence of the enemy. It is added, however, that the Spaniards will very soon experience the vengeance of the Mexicans, as, in the immediate neighbour hood of that place, there were more than 12,000 men determined to conquer or die. " The- paper of the 12th gives-a list of fourteen _ . expelled Spaniards, who hive embarked in the expedition against Mexico. " PROCLAMATION OF GENERAL SANTA ANNA, GENE- RAL-IN•CHIEF OF THE DIVISION OF OPERATIONS AGAINST THE SPANISH INVADERS, TO THE TROOPS UNDER HIS COMMAND. " Soldiers !—The Spanish expedition, so often announced as preparing at Havannah for the inva sion of our territory, has at length arrived ; and these vile slaves of the greatest of despots have already dared to set their feet upon our soil at Cape Roque. " Obstinate in her purpose to reconquer this country, Spain has nu ceased to provide the means for eventually accomplishing it ; and this army which now presents itself is the vanguard of the great expedition which she has prepared as the result of her arduous labours. It is the last attempt which will be made by that imbecile nation to de prive us of independence. " Solliers ! These perfidious men provoke us to an encounter. They will find, to their sorrow, that you do not shrink from this, but that you are already on the march to accept their challenge. They threaten you with death ; but the sharp edges of your swords will infallibly cause them to perish by hundreds, and to bite the soil which they have dared to profane; insomuch that not an individual will remain to witness the destruction which their rash enterprise has merited. " My Friends! A delightful field of glory opens before us, in which we will gather new laurels —valour and constancy, discipline, subordination, and order. Such qualities as these cannot deceive us. Always remember you fight for independence and liberty ; and let those dear names urge you to combat with double ardour till the triumph is achieved. That it will be achieved, who can doubt? " Soldiers ! It is better to die—to die a thou sand deaths if possible—than to suffer the hard yoke of oppression, which these tyrants seek to impose. Independence or death. Let it glitter on your standards; let it be the only sound which echoes through your camp; as it is and will be the motto of your General. " ANTONIO LOPEZ DE SANTA ANNA. " Heroic Vera Cruz, Aug. 3.' " Information was also received at Vera Cruz at a later date, that the Spanish troops had taken pos session if Tampico on the fifth day after their ar rival. There are three towns of this name, two of which are situated in the state of Vera Cruz, and the nearest, Pueblo Viejo de Tampico, is at a league's distance from the new or commercial town, and between which flows a river of nearly a mile in width. We learn from Captain Clark, that the garrison at Tampico consisted only of 400 men, which leads us to imagine that at the date of these advices the most important post had not fallen into the hands of the invaders. Immediately on this intelligence reaching Vera Cruz, General Santa Anna, with an army of 15,000 men, left that place for Tampico. The American brigs Splendid, of Newhaven, of Newport, and Ursula, of Boston, were seized, and compelled to convey 2,500 infantry to a landing on the coast near Tampico, and had returned in safety to Vera Cruz: 600 ca valry had started at the same time by land, and on the arrival of the vessels at the place of rendezvous, it was ascertained that the cavalry had proceeded direct to Tampico. Although Admiral Laborde had issued a proclamation, offering a bounty to all Alexi cans who would join his standard, in not a single instance were his proposals accepted. The Mexi cans were confident of success; and although the navy had been dismantled, Vic., the troops were ge nerally well paid and in good spirits. The embargo that was raised on the 31st of July was relaid on the 10th of August, and continued until the 14th, when it was again taken off. " It was reported that Commodore Porter had been arrested at Mexico, but on what charges had not been made known. The citizens of that place were much dissatisfied with our Minister, Mr. Polo sett, declaring that he had taken too much interest in the political disputes of the Government. " We learn from advices of a later date, that a resolution was proposed in the Mexican Congress, to order - Mr. Poinsett out of the country, and wart lost by a small majority. Although Santa Anna had taken all the troops he could collect in Vora Cruz and the vicinity, they were still pouring in from all quarters. We also learn that considerable deser tions had taken place in the Spanish army, and that the expedition had suffered severely from sickness and other causes. " The above gratifying intelligence will be read with pleasure by every advocate of free principles.

Bishop; one of the Bow-street officers, arrived il l Dublin on Sunday, having in charge a young marl , named John Scarry, who, it appears, made bilk: escape from the Richmond Lunatic Asylum, Bruns'; wick -street, about three weeks ago, and having made. his way to London fell into the hands of the peliee [ authorities there under rather singular circumstances.. It may be in the recollection of some of our readerV that this individual was tried about three yew, since for offering a very unpleasant and vexation" annoyance to the family of one of our moat recite', table citizens. He was convicted of the offences; and sentenced to three months' imprisonment; however, from the extraordinary manner in which' he conducted himself upon that occasion, it appeared; that he was labouring under an aberration of mini , —a species of mental delusion,—from which it woe: found necessary to send him to the Lunatic Asyluoll where he remained until the occasion upon which he made his escape. However, his long confinement ; in the asylum had not the effect of removing thia-sf' Meting malady under which he laboured, as the first' object to which he directed his attention in Londoa wits to address letters to ladies of the first distinctio n' in the metropolis; among others, to Lady,Mati e Conyngham, daughter of the Marquis Conytighatei and actually went to the lodge at Windsor for th 6 purpose of obtaining an interview with her LadyshiPi where he was taken into custody and sent before 9!e Richard Birnie, who had him transmitted to this country. He was brought before the Magistrat e yesterday, where Mr. Grace, the Governor of th e " asy'um, and one of the keepers, were in attendance , when Mr. Tudor informed him he should give bile in charge to Mr. Grace. He addressed the bench in a very collected manner, and appealed to Mr,: Tudor, as a Magistrate, not to send him bac'', to the asylum, and deprive a subject of hie liberty, unless he were satisfied he was a coy firmed lunatic, and called upon him, or any other person, to point out a single act of his upon which he (the Magistrate) could ground an opinion that be was a fit subject for a mad-house. Mr. TUDOR said, although it was not for hint t ° enter into an inquiry as to his state of mind, it merely to send him back to the place from when*" he escaped, he could not avoid saying, that if were then sitting as a juror under a commission! lunacy, from the singular conduct he had adopted,' addressing a letter to Lady Maria Conyngham, could not pronounce him of a sound mind. The unfortunate man was then sent to the asylote' CORONERS' INQUESTS. On Wednesday evening an inquisition was take before Mr. HtGc,s, at the White Horse, Knigle bridge, on the body of Henry Rowe, aged 62.
