representation of of their national prowess, without
meanly attempting, by vague insinuations, to impeach
the personal bravery of their chief antagonist. The
known character of SANTA ANNA is of itself a suffi-
cient answer to this unworthy imputation. Not
merely in respect of real patriotism, but also in regard
to individual valour, the proofs have been
not only not frequent, but of the strongest kind, in
favour of the Mexican General. It is impossible
to read the address which he issued on the 3d of April
to the Supreme Congress, previous to taking com-
mand of the army against General SCOTT, without
admiration for the principles by which he has been
actuated throughout the campaign, and without the
fullest sympathy for the extreme difficulties that stood
in the way of his prosecuting the war with anything
approaching to becoming energy. The wonder
is, that, in a state so much divided against
itself, he was so far enabled to overcome
the obstacles as to offer the resistance he
has done to the unprincipled invaders of his country.
Whilst the Americans have been endeavouring to
procure a peace by basely corrupting their foes with
the money dishonestly voted for this detestable
purpose by their Congress, under the baneful counsel
of Mr. POLK, SANTA ANNA has had to silence civil
dissension by fervent appeals to the noblest instincts
of human nature, and to kindle the patriotic ardour
of his country, by indicating that " much as peace is
wanted, it must be a peace to be won by valour
and constancy, bought by victories obtained by a
people that detest oppression." It appears that,
naturally dispirited as the Mexican authorities were
at the receipt of the fresh reverse which has over-
taken their General, they nevertheless continued to
be animated by the sentiments embodied in the ad-
dress, above alluded to, penned by their military
leader. Apprised of the defeat, Congress imme-
diately assembled, and decided upon continuing to
defend the nationality of their republic, and passed
a decree prohibiting the Executive from making
peace with the United States, or disposing of
any part of their territories." Subsequen t
to the battle of Cerro Gordo SANTA ANNA had
rallied 6,000 men at Orizeba, so that, should he be
duly supported by the Government in his further
efforts to vindicate the wrongs of his country, he may
yet, by having recourse to guerilla warfare, con-
vince the Americans that, if they should succeed at
all in their iniquitous policy, it will only be con-
summated by sacrifices far heavier than were anti-
cipated when first they attacked the independence of
Mexico.

by the Kabyles on the night of the 17th in the
country of the Beni Abbes.
" The fire of the Kabvles," writes the correspendent
of the Debuts, " was at first extremely brisk, and, as we
remained in the camp, preparing our means of attack,
they thought they had annihilated us. But at three
o'clock A.M. the drums beat to arms, two battalions re-
mained to guard the baggage and haversacks, and all
the others rushing towards the heights, carried in suc-
cession several villages. The resistance was obstinate,
for we lost fifty-seven killed and wounded. Three vil-
lages, containing manufactures of arms and gunpowder,
were burnt. The casualties on the side of the Kabyles
must have been considerable; for in the evening of that '
day their chiefs repaired to our camp to tender their sub-
mission, which %as accepted. General Bedeau had
effected his junction with the Marshal. He had been
previously attacked with vigour, but the Kabyles had
not thought proper to continue to oppose his passage.
The particulars of that engagement have not reached us.
It is believed that our troops will remain in that dis-
trict of Kabylia until the 15th of June, under the com-
mand of General Bedeau. On the 20th no account of
further hostilities had been received at Bugia. The
column of General Joussouf had returned to Algiers."
ABD•EL-KADEE is likely again to take the field
He is in the district of Rif, the inhabitants of which
have revolted against ABDERRISAMAN, and pro
claimed ABD-EL-KADER. Sultan.
The squadron under the orders of Prince DE JOIN
VILLE left Toulon on the 25th, and was in the
evening off the 113 eres. Nothing positive was known
as to its destination, but it is still reported at Toulon
that the Prince, being dissatisfied with it, intended to
resign the command in favour of Admiral DE MACJAU.
The accounts received from all parts of France

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were 4,000
bales, with a very steady market. In Railway Shares a large
business was done, at considerably advanced rates, and the
market was still looking up.
The advices received to-day from the United States and
Canada have been the all engrossing subject of conversation,
and there is no difference of opinion, as far as we can learn,
with respect to its importance and its favourable tenour. All
doubts as to the prospect of our receiving adequate
supplies from North America appear to be set at
rest, and the question will be merely as to the
power of obtaining the requisite means of transport.
It is true that there are statements of the weather not being
altogether as favourable as could be wished fer the growing
crops of both corn and cotton, but we must at all times re-
ceive such accounts with caution from sellers, when we
know that it is their interest to get as much as possible.
The navigation of the St. Lawrence being likewise open we
shall shortly have supplies of grain from Canada.
There is an arrival of gold from Russia, but whether on
account of the late Government financial operation remains
to be seen, as the amount at present consigned does not, we
believe, exceed 120,0001.
The armed convention in favour of the Queen of Portugal
gives rise to some difference of opinion with respect to the
popularity which such a course is likely to gain for us, and
although all desire to see the civil war ended,
many doubt our right to interfere where there is no foreign
enemy, even though Spanish intervention may probabl)
have been threatened. The hope is, that all will ncw be
amicably accommodated; but the Junta, if disposed to resist,
may yet give a little hot work to all parties, and even suc-
cess will not strengthen the Queen's cause, if obtained by
force of arms and by foreign bayonets.
The English Fuuds are better again, Consols having
touched 88% 1/2 for present transfer, and 89 to 8914 for
time. There has been an idea that the Savings' Banks Com-
missioners will sell stock to purchase the unfunded debt, and
this, with the uncertainty relative to a French loan, and the
heavy railway calls of next month, rather checks the still
greater improvement which the fine weather might occasion.
Consols Scrip is 3/4 discount. The New Three-and-a-Quart er
per Cents. have been 89 to 891/8, and the Three per Cents.
87% 87%. Batik Stock is worth 1941/2 to 196. Exchequer-
bills have ranged from Is. to 4s. premium. East India Bonds
are 2s. premium.
There has been in the Foreign Market no general increase
of business. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been quoted
3314, being comparatively dull upon the announcement of
the intentions of Lord Palmerston. In Spanish there have
been no bargains. Mexican Bonds have been quoted 20% 1/2,
being a shade lower. Venezuela Stock is at 391/2. French
Rentes Five per Cents., have been 116 f. 25c. with the Ex-
change at 25f. 65c.
Railway Shares have all advanced again, with a moderate
business doing.
