The news of the action of our senate upon the treaty
wed Mexico at the end of last month, and was
despatched at once to Queretaro. The Star an-
nousoed it on the 2nd inst., and gave fall particulars
on the 3rd.
Ex-President Gen. Bustamente arrived at San Luis
Potosi on the 27th March, with a division of troops
from Guadsjualo. lie repaired thither by order of
the general government, as is supposed to suppress
any symptoms of rebellion which iaredes may
attempt
From the Star, of the 4th inst., we learn at how
ruinous a sacrifice the Mt xican government extri-
cated itself front the hinds of Manning and Mackin-
tosh. Wo quote : The Mexican Bonds.—The five
million dollars in Mexican bonds, which the house of
Manning and Mackintosh expected to receive in dis-
charge of their loan of 600,000 dole. to Santa Anna,
who at the time was at the head of the supreme go-
vernment, have been disposed of at one million one
hundred thousand dollars. The purchaser is Senor
Berstegan. Ile pays 64)0,000 dohs. in cash, 100,000
dole. in instalments, and 400,000 dole. in bonds. The
latter may possibly be had for 50,000 dole., which
will bring the whole cost of the bonds recently adver-
tised for sale at 730,000 dole.
The Progreso at' Queretaro publishes communica-
tions from Durango, which states that Governor
Angel Tries, of Chihuahua, with some of his officers,
was taken prisoner on the 16th of March at Santa
Cruz de Rosales, by a body of Americans proceeding
from the camp at Buena \ iota. The action at Rosales
began at
.nine in the morning and lasted until night,
when the Americans carried the plaza by assault.
Eight pieces of artillery, six esmeriks (a smaller kind
of ordnance), and more than a thousand muskets, fell
into the bands of the Americans. On the 17th, ac-
cording to this Mexican account, the American
troops sacked the place. Whatever they found in
the houses of any value they loaded into their
waggons; everything else they destroyed.
A correspondent gives the following information
concerning Mr. Trist and the order of the President
to arrest arid send him out of Mexico:
Mr. Frcaner, who arrived at Mexico on the 16th of March,
with despatches from Washington, brought, among other
communications, an order to Gen. Butler to send Mr. Trist
out of the country as soon 83 he had given his evidence before
the court of Inquiry, as a prisoner. Gen. Butler
immediately communicated to Mr. 'Feist the orders of the
government, and apprised hiss of his intention to execute
them. Mr. Trist then addressed a long letter to Gen. Butler,
deaying his right to arrest, or forcibly more from the coun-
try, an American citizen. The reply of the general was,
briefly, that he had received orders from his government,
imperative in their nature, and that he would execute them
to the letter ; and furthermore, it was neither his duty nor
inclination to reply to the argument of Mr. Trist, is relatioa
to his rights as a citizen.
We mentioned in the intelligence per Ilibernian that
a riot had taken place at Washington, in consequence
of the part taken by the National Era, an anti-slavery
paper, in the matter of the escape of several slaves in
a schooner. A letter from Washington of the 19th,
in the Courier anti Enquirer, says :
Very great excitement exists in the city in relation to the
escape and recapture of the slaves, who left Washington on
Sunday night in the sloop Pearl. Not less than two and I
should think three thousand individuals assembled in front
of the office of the National Era, an anti-slavery paper,
published immediately opposite the Patent.offiee, for the
purpose, as was alleged, of demolishing the building and
press. Capt. Goddard. the chic! of the police, was speedily
upon the spot, and, with the assistance of the excesuvely
small number of the city watch (I think but twelve in
number) succeeded in keeping the mob at bay. Taking
his position against the centre door of the building, his
uniform reply to the threats, imprecations, and be-
&etchings of the crowd was: "If you enter this build-
ing it must bo over my body : and if you demolish it,
it must be while I maintain my post, unless lam disabled
by violence." Many stones were throwndbut nearly all fell
short of their mark, the projectors keeping far in the back
ground for fear of rec-gnition, sad the only damage done
was the breaking of three or four panes of glass, the loss of
a single letter of the sign, and the breaking !
readyyr of a
letter from General Taylor, whida was set up for in-
sertion. At a late hour the mob dispersed, having adjourned
to meet again at the City Hall this evening, for the purpose
of concerted action in transmitting a request to the publishers
of the Era, to remove their office from the city, and in case
of their failure an to do to destroy the building and press.
The examination of the white men found on beard the
Pearl is going on at the gaol this morning, while the building
is surrounded by an immense concourse of highly excited
persons. The negro buyers are here in numbers, to take
advantage of the present panic in relation to negro property,
to make advantageous purchase for the southern market.
A further letter of the 20th says :
The summary process contemptoted for removing the
abolition paper, called the New Era, has brew abandoned.
A few warns are collected in the neighbourhood of the
office, bat all remained quiet.
In the sitting of the House of Representatives on
the 20th, Mr. Palfrey, of Mass., rose to a privileged
question, and wished to offer a resolution setting
forth the whole proceedings of the recent mob, raised
in consequence of the capture and imprisonment of
the runaway (ANTS, end proposed to appoint a select
committee to report what action the house would take
to secure its members from personal threats and
attacks. A debate sprang up, the house raised objec-
tions, and the appeal was withdrawn. Various
amendments were offered and discussed, after which
a heated discussion was renewed, but the house ad-
journed without any further action.
A great fire had taken place at Albany.

COMMERCIAL AND MONEY.
NEW YnnE, A PittL 21, P.M.—The news by the Acadia
has kept the city in a state of agitation all day. The political and the
commercial accounts arc full of importance. A considerable amount
of French bills are returned, and in business matters the news Is dim
emceeing. The state of the eomol market, which is gradually de-
clinine, shows alarm, and even its actual prices were kept up mainly
by in, stolen. from the continent of Euro,e, seeking greater safety
in the English fumbi. The effect upon oar own markets of the
Aeadia's intelligence was us to stocks rather favourable—as to ma
duce, unfavourable. Indeed, on 'Change, no prices could Infixed for
either cotton, corn, flour, or wheat. At the second stock Board,
U. S. Traeury Notes, which at the flog board was done at 1011, went
tip to 1021. Penuasylvanis Fives rather drooped, for otter laving

not hear of .y stocks sent out by this tit:atoer for mle, nor of any
orders to purchase. These latter, however, .611 come, and t 1.4
change on London is held at, 1104 telll, it woiald seem to as, that as
• remittarce, United States Six per Cents. at the current rate might
be an advisable substitute for bilis or epeeie. Money is easier in the
sheet. The banks are strong, and coin from the Int. rior is steadily
Ending its way thither. The canels of this state are to be opened On
Monday week, the Ist of May, and that iways impart, additional
animation and activity to the business of our city. Here, all looks
well.
