(From El Monitor Republican.)
" Mexicans !—The recent events of the war, and
the provisions which have in consequence been dic-
tated by your Government, render it my duty to ad-
dress you, for the purpose of demonstrating truths
of which you are ignorant, because they are mali-
ciously concealed from you. I do not wish you to
believe me on my word of honour, although he who
has never swerved from the truth has a right to be
believed ; but I wish you to judge of these truths
from the facts which are under the cognisance and
subject to the. test of you all.
" Whatever may have been the origin of this war,
which my country found itself compelled to under-
take from inevitable causes, of which, I understand,
the greater part of the Mexican people are ignorant,
we consider it as a fatality; for a war always is so to
the two belligerent parties, and reason and justice are
called into question, if they are not entirely unknown,
on both sides, each one believing that it is in posses.
sion of them. The proof of this truth is held by the
Mexicans as well as ourselves, since in Mexico, as
in the United States, there have existed, and
do exist, two opposite parties which are desirous, the
one of peace, and the other of war. Governments,
however, have sacred duties, from which they cannot
swerve, and those duties frequently impose, from mo-
tives of national convenience, a silence and reserve
which sometimes displeases the majority of those who
offer oppositition from purely personal and private
views, and whom Governments, which suppose that
the nation reposes in them the confidence merited by
a magistrate by itself elected, ought not to regard.
" Reasons of state and of American continental
interest compromised events in spite of the circum-
spection of the Cabinet of Washington, which, ar-
dently desiring to put a period to all the differences
with Mexico, left no means untried, so far as they
were compatible with its honour and dignity, to
attain so desirable an end ; and when it cherished
the most flattering expectation of obtaining its object
by means of its frank explanation and of arguments,
submitted to the judgment and practical wisdom of
the virtuous and patriotic Government of General
Herrera, the misfortune, least looked for, dispelled
that grateful hope, and at once obstructed all the
paths which might have led to an arrangement
honourable to both nations.
" The new Government mistook the national in-
terests as well as those of the American continent,
and chose, moreover, the influences most foreign to
those interests, and most fatal to the future prospects
ind the liberty of Mexico, and the republican system
which the United States deem it their duty to pre-
serve and protect.
" Duty, however, and a regard for our own dignity,
impelled us to the necessity of not losing an oppor-
tunity which was being violated by the adherents of
the monarchical party, and we labour with the
activity and decision necessary in such urgent con-
tingencies thus to avoid the complication of interests
which might render our situation more difficult and
more serious.

THE FINALE TO THE ELECTION.
The contest now 'twiat Whigs and Tories
Is past, 'whilst each successful glories ;
And, true, we have a mighty notion,
That ended is the great commotion.

Now it is strange amidst the fuss,
Which certainly amuses us,
To find that HYAM'S still retain
Amidst the world so great a name!

Go ask the Whig—go ask the Tory,
What tradesman has the greatest glory ?
The answer is, we vouch it clear,
Why, lIYAM'S first in every sphere.
And why is this ? Why all protest
His clothing is the very best ;
See for yourselves, and with surprise,
You scarcely will believe your eyes.
His cut, his fit, his style and make,
Precedence will at all times take ;
Whilst sterling goodness, lengthened wear,
Proclaim that standard clothes are here,

The Hosiery, Hat, and Outfit Department, recently added to thi:
Establishment, is now complete, containing a well-selected stock of
Shirts, Gloves, Hose, Handkerehiefs, &c. &c. Paris and town made
Hats, Travelling, Fishing, Youths', and Mens' Caps, in every va-

" Again, in the course of the civil war, your Go-
vernment, headed by General Paredes, was overturned,
and we ourselves could not but believe that it would
prove a benefit, because whatever other persons might
represent, the Government would be less deluded,
and at once more patriotic and prudent, if he attended
to the public welfare. Considering and weighing all
probabilities, their forces, and elements, and, above
all, the most general opinion respecting the pristine
results of the national war, we are mistaken, as per-
haps the Mexicans themselves have been, in our judg-
ment of the real intentions of General Santa Anna,
whom they recalled and our Government permitted
to return.

" In this state of things, the Mexican nation has
seen what have been the results which all lament,
and ourselves sincerely ; because we duly appreciate
the valour and the noble decision of the unfortunates
who go to war badly led, worse directed, and almost
always the victims of deceit and perfidy.
" We are witnesses ; and, as interested parties, we
shall not be accused of partiality, when we have
lamented, with admiration, that the heroic behaviour
`;.f the garrison of Vera Cruz, in the valiant
defence which it made, was disgraced by the
general who had just been routed and put to a
shameful flight by a force very inferior to that which
he commanded in Buenavista; that this general re-
warded the promaciados in Medico, the promoters of
the civil war, and ouWaged those who bad just sin-
gularly distinguished themsolvc6 by a resistance far
beyond what could have been expected, and charac-
terised by an admirable decision.
" Lastly, the sanguinary affair of Cerro Gordo has
shown the Mexican nation what may reasonably be
expected if it continues to remain in ignorance of the
real state of affairs to which it has been conducted by
some of its generals whom it has most distinguished,
and in whom it has reposed the most confidence.
" The most hardhearted man would be melted into
grief and tears at the contemplation of the battle-
fields in Mexico a minute after the last shot had been
fired. The generals whom this nation has paid for
so many years without deriving the slightest service
from them (with a few honourable exceptions), served
on the very day when they were wanted, to prejudice
the cause for which they contended, by their
bad example and their unskilfulness. Amongst
the dead and the wounded no proofs of mili-
tary honour are discerned, because they are
almost reduced to the sad fate of the soldier,
and this has been on all occasions, from Pulo- Alto to
Cerro Gordo, the cause of the dead remaining un-
buried, and their wounded being abandoned to the
clemency and charity of the conquerors. And sol-
diers who went to battle with the knowledge that
this recompense awaited them well deserve to be re-
cognised as the best in the world, because they are
neither stimulated by an ephemeral glory, a sigh, or
a remembrance, but only a tomb.
" Contemplate, then, honoured Mexicans, the fate
of the peaceful and laborious citizens in all classes of
your society. The property of the church threatened
and held out as an allurement to revolution and
anarchy—the fortunes of the rich proprietors indi-
cated as the prey of rebel rapine—the merchant
and the artizan, the labourer and the manufac-
turer, loaded with contributions, imposts, du-
ties on consumption, and surrounded by guards
and officers of the odious internal custom-
houses ; the literary man and the jurist—the
free man of knowledge who dares to speak,
persecuted without being judged by any party, or by
the very Governments which abuse their power ; cri-
minals set at liberty without punishment, like those
in the fortress of Perote. What, then, Mexicans, is
the liberty which you enjoy?
"I do not believe that the Mexicans, sons of the
present age, are wanting in courage to confess errors
which do not dishonour them, and to adopt a system
of true liberty, peace, and union with their neighbour-
ing brothers of the north.
" Still less do I believe that they are ignorant of
the infamy with which we are assailed in the perio-
dicals for inciting the people to rebellion. No, public
spirit is not created or reanimated by falsehoods. We
have not profaned your temples, violated the persons
of your wives, or taken possession of your property,
as they would have you believe ; and we say it with
pride and attest it on the evidence of your own
bishops, and the curates of Tampico, Tuzpan, Mata-
moras, Vera Cruz, and Jalapa, and all the ecclesias-
tics and civil authorities in the vicinity of those dis-
tricts which we have occupied. We worship the same
God, and a great part of our army, as well as the po-
pulation of the United States, are Roman Catholics
like yourselves. We chastise crime wherever we find
it, and reward merit and virtue.
"The army of the United States respects and will
always respect the private property of every class,
and the property of the Mexican church; and woe
to him. who shall fail to do so wherever we may find
ourselves.
" Mexicans, the past cannot be remedied ; but
future. evils may nevertheless be prevented. I have
repeatedly declared to you that the Government and
people of the United States are desirous of peace
and youtr sincere friendship. Abandon, then, ranco-
rous prejudices, and cease to be the tools of privateam-
bition. ; behave like a great American nation ;
aban don for once these habits of colonists, and learn
how to be truly free, truly republican, and very soon
you may be very rich and very happy, since you
possess all the elements of both ; but reflect that you
are Americans, and that your felicity is not to be
de.rived from Europe.
" In conclusion, I desire to proclaim, and with
equal frankness, that if it should prove necessary, an
army of 100,000 men would very promptly arrive,
and that the United States would not terminate their
differences with Mexico—having to do so by arms_
eit her in a precarious, uncertain, or dishonourable
ma nrier ; and I should insult the enlightened part of
this. country were I to doubt their knowledge of this
tru
". The authority to form guerillas to rto2n war

evi' is to the country, and none wh

SERIOUS CHARGE OF WILL
FORGERY AT BATH.
The magistrates of Bath have been engaged during
the week in investigating a charge against four per-
sons of the names of John and Daniel Davis Ford,
John Lewis, and Francis Garland (housekeeper to
the deceased), for having forged the will and codicil
of a gentleman of considerable property, named Wil-
liam Slack, who resided at Bathwick.
It appeared from the evidence that Mr. William
Slack died at Bath on the 2d of July, 1845, having
been taken ill on the previous 10th of April, up to
which time he had been in the habit of coming into
Bath, and transacting his business with his tenants I
and other persons at a house in Quiet-street, where
his letters and papers were kept. On being taken ill, '
he sent a servant to fetch from Quiet-street a will
which he had previously made and cancelled. On
the 11th of April Mr. Dowding and Mr. \Vintle, so-
licitors at Bath, were engaged the greater part of the
day in taking instructions for a new disposition of
the deceased's property, and on the 16th that will
was duly executed, and after that time several codicils*
had been framed, which remained as genuine codicils
till the 30th of June in the same year, which day wis
on a Monday. On Sunday, the 29th of June, Mr. Slack,
who was fully 80 years of age, was fast sinking,
and upon Mr. Dowding calling on him, expressed
a wish to have a codicil prepared, by which to devise
some property which had yet to be disposed of. That
codicil was accordingly prepared, and on the Monday
was executed in the presence of two of Mr. Dow-
ding's clerks, who witnessed it. The following day
the deceased grew worse, and early on Wednesday
morning he expired. During the preparation of the
will Mr. Slack expressed a wish that it should not be '
proved till the expiration of six months. Two days
before the expiration of that term a letter was re-
ceived by Mr. Dowding from the Registrar of Doc -
tors' Commons, giving him notice of the receipt, by
Mr. John Ingledon, one of the deputy registrars, of
a letter signed "E. A.," and dated, " Bristol, 16th
of December, 1845," in which the writer, in very bad
orthography, informed Mr. Ingledon of the decease
of Mr. Slack, and enclosed a copy of a will purporting
to be his, requesting Mr. Ingledon to get a proctor
to prepare the probate. The envelope was directed
"To the Prerogative Court, London." On the re-
ceipt of this communication Mr. Dowding went to
London, and at once saw that the said will weri
a forgery. The signature was not in Mr. Slack's
handwriting. The document was badly spelt and
worded, and contained not less than thirty-five
mistakes. The will purported to be witnessed by a Mr.
Mant, a solicitor, since deceased ; but Mr. Dowding,
who knew his handwriting, at once pronounced it not
to be his, though a good imitation. On legal pro-
ceedings being threatened against the suspected par-
ties, every one seceded except Stephen Ford, who
prayed the Court to be allowed to prove in forrna
' pauperis, and a suit was instituted and proceedeid.
Twelve months, however, had elapsed. Mr. Ma9t,
having died in the interim, was not produced. Jacrlb
Stoodley Manning, the other witness to the will, was
not to be found. Fifteen months elapsed from the
date of the death of the deceased, when up started a
codicil, purporting to be signed by Mr. Slack, and. ;to
be dated at the same time as the will—viz., the 30th
of June, but making a different disposition of the
property. This document, it was stated, was found
in the house of the female prisoner ih the Wells-road.
It was witnessed by John Lewis, John Ford, and
Henry Mant. Lewis and Ford ..had also sworn that
they had seen Mr. Slack sign the will in the
presence of a person named J. S. Manning and Mr.
Mant ; that they saw Mr. Mant and Manning put
their names as witnesses, and that DR. Mant Olen lift
the room and came back with the codicil in hisishaiid,
which having been signed by Sleek, thwe(Lewis
Ford) attested it with their signatures. In the end
this evidence was rebutted, the signatures were,
proved not to be genuine ; it was shown that 1\ r.
Jacob Stoodley Manning was an imaginary being ;
the suit was settled, the affidavits of the prisoners
rejected, and the Judge of the Prerogative Court
pronounced the case to be one of forgery at Bath aid
perjury in London. Various witnesses proved that
Ford, who had been very poor, had said he should ;be
very rich by Mr. Slack's death r that the signatures
were not in the handwriting of Mr. Slack or llr.
Mant; that the body of the will and codicil were,, to
the best of a witness's belief, in the handwriting: I(
Daniel Davis Ford ; and that the female prisoner Was
to get 3001. per annum under the codicil. It eras
also shown by the female servants of Mr. Slack that
neither Mr. Mant, nor John Lewis, nor John Fokd,
who purported to be witnesses to the will and
codicil, had been at Mr. Slack's house on the 30th
of June in question, when the will and codicil pO-
- to have been made and executed. The magis-
trate thought the evidence sufficient, and committed
the prisoners.

Beauvallon fled to Spain,as id also his second,
d'Ecquevilley, who holds the rank of captain in the
Spanish army. Alo • Along time had not elapsed before
an acquaintance of d'Eequevilley, de
made important disclosures, to the' effect that he knew
the pistols used in the duel to be those of the brother--
in-lawn of M. Beauvallon ; that they had been tried-
before the duel by the latter ,in the garden of the
house where ,d'Ecquevilley resided; and that Beau-
vallon, who performed some shots which excited
his admiration, replied that he was perfectly acquainted
with the pistols, as they belonged to his brother- in-
law. Upon this the indictment against d'Ecquevilley
was framed. In the course of this trial M. Beau-
vallon appeared as a witness on behalf of the accused,
and the testimony which be gave being compared
with the established facts of the case and the evidence
of other witnesses was, in the opinion of the court,
such as to place the judge under the nocessity,-in the
discharge of his functions, of committing Al. Beau-
vallon to the Conciergerie on the chaw of giving
false testimony. An observation having fallen from
M. Beauvallon in the court, to the effect t4t the
proceeding of the president would have the e..ect of
producing a duel between him and M. Bertrana (the
son of the Marshal of France of that name), the lore-
sident, at the close of his charge to the jury, said,
" Having thus,,Gentlemen, placed before you the cir-
cumstances of the accusation, allow me to notice the
impudence of that man whom I ordered into arrest
to-day, and who will no doubt be prosecuted. It
was not without indignation that we heard him say
to the court, You desire, then, to have a duel between
me and Arthur Bertrand !' Gentlemen, a duel of any
gentleman with Beauvallon is now impossible ; for if,
as the public prosecutor maintains, he have not used
unfair arms in the duel with M. Dujarrier, he must
be admitted to have used suspicious weapons. Beau-
vallon is a person who can no longer find adversaries.
A man of honour would utterly lose his position if he
should accept a challenge from him." These con-
cluding words of the Judge were received by the
large assembly which crowded the court with an ex-
pression of loud and general approbation,which, how-
ever, was immediately suppressed.
At the close of a prolonged investigation and legal
discussion, the jury, after retiring for only five
minutes declared by the mouth of their foreman—
" On my honour and conscience, in the sight of God
and men, the verdict of the jury is—" The accused is
Guilty.' The verdict is found by a majority : there
are extenuating circumstances."
The Court retired for a quarter of an hour to deli-
berate, and on its return pronounced sentence against
Ecquevilley of ten years' solitary imprisonment,
without public exposure. He was also deciAred liable
for costs. `n-law

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT
STALEYBRIDGE.

On Sunday morning some men, in the employ of
the Huddersfield and Manchester Railway Company,
were in the temporary wooden building erected near
the tunnel which is being made under the town, and
which serves as a storehouse and stables. The men
were hunting out the rats that infested the place, and
for this purpose put some gunpowder down the holes
and set fire to it. Unfortunately a cask containing a
large quantity of powder was in the building, and'
the fire having communicated with it, an explosion
of a most fearful character ensued, shaking the build-►
ings in the neighbourhood and burning several of the
.unfortunate men in a frightful manner. Two of the
number contrived to scramble out of the place and
jump into a pit of water adjoining with their clothes
on fire, and the others were taken away almost life-
less. The building contained a large quantity of
oil and tallow, and was set on fire and burned to the
ground.
One of the sufferers, named Matthew Gomersall,
aged thirty-four, who was " gaffer" over the horses,
died on Sunday afternoon, leaving a wife and three
children. James Platt, William Shirt, and Abraham
Hardy Smith, were so severely burned that they are

THE IRON TRADE.—About a
iron of
ago a
no t
con-
siderable elasticity of demand for mostderip-
tions was felt, iu consequence of the ogiving
con-
tracts that had been withheld at quarter-day,out O
and it
appeared probable that the improvement that had been
realised in Welsh bars would extend to this district.
Such, however, has not been the case. Owing to the
movements of the Bank, and the difficulties experienced
in the money market, a feeling of caution has again been
induced, and a week of quiet, regular working for orders
has passed. A considerable difference of opinion exists
as to the future prospects of the trade. From the uncer-
tainty necessarily attending all speculative conclu4ions,.
its present position, with the movements and transac-
tions daily taking place, form by far.the most important
matter for our consideration yet it may not be unpro-
fitable now and then to glance at the probable effect
passing events may have upon its interests: _That the
harvest here and abroad will prove most abundant.and
productive, and will be gathered in an unusiiallyexcel-
lent condition, appears almost beyond a doubt; and a
vast reduction in the prices of' articles of human suste-
nance must inevitably follow ; so that all apprehen-
sions of stagnation to trade from scarcity of provi-
sions must be abandoned. At the same time, the export
demand for manufactured iron, and such articles as are
chiefly composed of it, seems to be brisker than ordinary,
and the consumption for railroads cannot by any means
be diminished for a considerable time to come. There
are also causes that, under prosperous circumstances,
have hitherto generally pointed out the present season
of the year as the proper time for an advance in price,
and always induce a greater activity at that period than
any other. That those causes have not" ceased to ope-
rate, tho incipient movement already noticed evidences,
though their influence has been partially checked. IV the

DESTRUCTION or noun Muas.—Yesterclay
morning, about half-past three o'clock, a most terrific
and destructive fire broke out in the extensive flour mills,
known as Ray Mills, near the Maidenhead station, of
the Great Western Railway, the whole of which, to-
gether with the adjoining brewery, is now a heal) of
ruins. The fire was first discovered by a man who was
at work on the premises, who alarmed the inmates of
the dwelling-house of Mr. J. T. Bell, which joins the
mills; but such was the rapidity with which the devour-
ing element spread from one building to another, that
the family had barely time to escape, which they !did
almost in a state of nudity. Amongst the first on the
spot was Mr. Charles Venables, jun., the extensive
paper manufacturer, who, on hearing of the fire, at Once
closed his mills, and conducted the whole of his workmen
to the scene of devastation, and by their exertions some
of the valuable furniture was saved. By this time it was
found that the fire had communicated to the dwelling-
house of Mr. Stearnes, of the Stock-Exchange, and 'for
some time it was feared this would share the fate of the
rest; fortunately, two engines from Maidenhead arrived,
and by their prompt exertions (there being plenty of
water at hand) that house was saved, but not without
considerable damage to the furniture. The whole of the
adjoining brewery was now one mass of flames, and 'for
some time it seemed as though no part of it could be
saved; but at length the firemen succeeded in saving the
brewing plant, which is, in fact, the only thing saved.
The loss must be very great, as in addition to the stock
of corn, flour, malt, &c., there was a very large stock of
beer, nearly the whole of which is destroyed. The pre-
mises are insured in the West of England Office. 'No
cause can be assigned as to the origin of the fire; but
there is no doubt that it was accidental. Much praise
is due to the Maidenhead firemen for the great pronipt-
ness and activity they displayed.
GUN COTTON.—The Committee charged, under:the
presidentship of the Duke de Montpensier, to proceed to
a series of experiments to ascertain the advantages of
employing fulminating cotton, as compared with ordinary
gunpowder, has made known the result of a part of its
labours. The experiments have proved that in certain
cases of blasting, such for instance as of soft rocks, its
effect was less considerable than that produced by gun-
powder—four times the weight of the new agent. In'
the second place, it was proved that after the explosion,
. a deleterious gas was generated, capable of occasioning
a new explosion. It was thought that the' introduction,
in preparing the fulminating cotton, of a chemical
to oxygen,
pi capable of producing a considerable quantity inconvenience
would be likely to do away

ny THE ELECTRIC TELE -
ANOTHER CAPTURE
--A little GIiA.PII excitement was caused on Saturday
.
morning in Agnes-street Waterloo-road, by the sudden
arrest of a fashionably-dressed young man, named John
Bell, about 24 years of age, on a charge of embezzlement,
committed by him on Thursday afternoon last, in Bir-
mingham, to every considerable amount. The description
of the man was forwarded by the Friday night electric
telegraph, and after some trouble it was ascertained that
