the vanguard ; our reserve will be the nati on en masse, which
admires our deeds, and will crown our victory or revenge our
glorious death. If the Mexicans in gencr, il, who cannot be.
indifferent to this title or to the national glory and honour,

" ANASTASIO BUSTANENYTE.
" Mexico, Dec. I, 1838."

(From the Baltimore American of yesterday.)
FROM HA RRISBURGH.
"YORK, DEC. 29.—Things at Harrisburgh have now set=-
tled down into a state of quietude, and though different opi-
