With referents to the proposed assemblage of a
National Committee in Dublin, Mr. O'ComiELL con-
tinues to express his unreserved anxiety for its
speedy convocation. The existing scarcity of pro-
visions is manifestly no casual visitation ; the blight
has for awhile absolutely annihilated vegetation ; the
agricultural condition of the sister country is such,
that some time of probation will be requisite before
it recover itself sufficiently to ensure the wholesome
and generous nourishment of the community, not to
speak of its being so restored as to enable the corn-
growers and cattle-feeders and dairy-keepers to
export to the English markets. It must be remem-
bered that the present is the second, and not the
solitary, season of scarcity, that it is more grievous,
instead of being less irksome, than its predecessor. As
we have observed before, therefore, this famine is no
casual or evanescent visitation ; it is not
to be remedied by any merely temporary
compensation ; it demands the most resolute,
the most determinate, the most compre-
hensive and systematic treatment. For these
reasons, among others of a more prospective cha-
racter, the convening of such a " National Com-
mittee" has appeared to ourselves so eminently al-

vis able.
In alluding to the particular character of the Lord-
Lieutenant's late extraordinary modification of the
Labour-rate Act, Mr. O'CONNELL has seized the op-
portunity for the purpose of disabusing certain among
the newspapers of the impression that that Act
sanctions merely unprofitable works. While we our-
selves have most strenuously advocated the employ-
ment of labourers in strictly agricultural improve-
ments, and have deprecated most strongly
the hiring of the destitute simply for the
promotion of what may be called public em-
bellishments, such as unnecessary roads and super-
fluous bridges, we have on no occasion contemned the
construction of such means of transit whenever or
wherever they appeared to be required. On
the contrary, we should be disposed to re-
gard such alterations, under such circum-
stances, and during such an emergency, as
equally advisable with the cultivation of the
soil. It remains, consequently, for the local ex-
ecutive to determine the relative importance of labour
in tillage, or irrigation, or the fabrication of
highways and bye-roads. According to Mr.
O'CONNELL, the western baronies of the
county of Kerry are singularly " scant" in good
roads and lamentably deficient in bridges. A pre-
ference, then, to bridges and roads to Kerry, by all
means ! On the same authority the barony of
Tervoe possesses already an ample allowance
cf those very necessary means of com-
munication. A decided preference, therefore,

:o the cultivation of the soil at Tervoe! And so on

throughout the different baronies in the distres-ed
portions of Ireland. Such a discrimination as
to what would be locally advantageous, and a full
and universal co-operation with his Excellency Lord
Ihsu'inouGu, will inevitably tend to the preservation
of many lives, and will effectually conquer the famine
and the pestilence which threaten to ravage the pea-
santry of Ireland.

Geneva, as was yesterday intimated in The San,
has recently been the scene of a rather serious insur-
rectionary movement. Cherishing a deplorable diver-
sity of jealousies and antipathies against each other,
and prepared to evince the existence of those jealousies
and antipathies on the first glimmering of an oppor-
tunity, the different cantons of the Swiss Confedera-
tion are cursed with an inherent tendency to disturb-
ance. Of this pernicious tendency they constantly
avail themselves with alacrity. Since the territories
and constitutions of Europe were mapped out and
defined at the Congress of Vienna, Switzerland has
presented a spectacle of protracted anarchy. From
1815 to the present instant discontent has mani-
fested itself, sometimes in one canton, sometimes
in another, sometimes, and not unfrequently,
in all of them simultaneously. The popu-
lation of the Valteline has at one period expe-
rienced a h€'artburning under existing regulations ;
at another the people of Ulterwalden, at another the
Grisons, at another Schwyz, at another Berne, at
another Neuchatel. As a modern writer has ob-
served of the various factions developed in Paris by
the great French revolution, society was broken into
fragments like a mirror, yet each fragment reflected
in itself a separate and entire idea. The condition of
the confederacy after the illusory compact, entered
into more than thirty years bygone, has been even
more disintegrated than that of the Parisian citizens.
There have been jealousies within jealousies, frac-
tures within fractures. Not merely have the neigh-
bouring cantons been opposed to each' other with
the most ineradicable animosity, but the people of
each canton have been more or less afflicted with in-
ternal bickerings. Since the great sceptical philoso-
phers first endeavoured to dissipate the faith of
generations, and daringly attempted the conquest of
revealed truth by the puny implements of sophistry
and incredulity, the Swiss have imbibed the less dele-
terious portion of that philosophy, they have striven
for the more rapid development of human institutions,
and for the more generalized emancipation of human
intelligence. The principal aspiration of this singular
race has been an aspiration for the subjection of every-
thing
of a despotic tendency, whether applied to their
civil, moral, municipal, or religious government. But
hitherto their ambition has been vaster than their capaci-
ties for its realisation. They have been ripe in will, but
crude in power; Titans in desire, but mannikins in
accomplishment.
Every one who bears in recollection the circum-
stances which conduced to the outbreak at Lucerne
during last spring will recognise the truth of
these opinions. It will be remembered that while
advocating the acknowledgment of civil and religious
liberty as the fundamental principles of the Govern-
ment, the insurrectionists were, in their insufficiency
of knowledge, absolutely endeavouring to violate the
latter portion of that glorious motto; they were

struggling to render belief compulsory, and to elicit
a coincidence of opinion in matters spiritual at the
point of the bayonet and at the muzzle of the blun-
derbuss. A similar incapability of discrimination in
the sanctity of individual rights is visible in the
recent insurrection at Geneva. The occurrences
which led on the 6th, 7th, and Bth of this present
October to the victory of the insurgents, and the
resignation of the Council of State, havp already been
recounted in our columns, and while those occur-
rences prove the impossibility of Switzerland accom-
plishing at present any satisfactory internal reform,
they demonstrate the astonishing earnestness and
physical unanimity of the populace. Properly
directed, that unanimity would inevitably lead in the
end to the consolidation of power and the perpetual
preservation of peace. Until then, however, the hap-
piness, the tranquillity, and the freedom of Switzer-
land will continue, as they have long been, a compli-
cated chimera and a fragile illusion.
Mail-id papers to the 7th have arrived.

The Government have received information that
CABRERA travels under the name of JosE LOPEZ,
merchant of Madrid, and orders have been given that
should he be taken he is to be shot instantly.
It was reported that on the night of the 6th a
person had been arrested at the door of the French
Embassy, on a charge of intending to assassinate the
Due DE MONTPENSIER. He had been previously
heard to utter threats, and on searching him loaded
pistols were found on his person. It was said that
the marriage of the Duke and the INFANTA had been
privately solemnized on the night of the 6th.
The Herald() gives a very high flown account of the
entry of the two French Princes into Madrid on the
6th. The "Progressista papers, the Espanol, the
Especlador, the Nuevo Especlador, and the Eco del
Comrrcio, were all seized on the 7th, because, in de-
scribing the entry of the French Princes, they said
they were not received with enthusiasm.
It was reported at Madrid that the English
squadron was at Carthagena.

The Paris papers of Monday are chiefly occupied
with remarks upon the recent outbreak in Geneva.

;; Hotel des Bergues, Genera, October 8.

" llavlng been an eye-witness of the recent outbreak
at Geneva, and learning that ma►;y exaggerated reports
had been circulated regarding it, I send) ou an account
of the circumstances. In consequence of a dispute between
the Government and the people, of the merits of which I,
as a stranger, do not pretend to form any opinion, the
latter determined to maintain what they conceived to be
their rights. They accordingly eeized the gates, and
took possession of the four bridges across the Rhone,
which they strongly barricaded, in order to cut off
the communication between the two quarters of the town.
All attempts at an accommodation having failed, the
fighting commenced yesterday, the 7th, towards three
o'clock, simultaneously at the Porte Cornavin, o❑ the
Place du Bel Air, which commands one of the bridges ;
and, finally, at the bridge facing the Hotel des Bergues,
where two diligences, forming a barricade, were set on
fire and destroyed. The cannonading at these several
points continued till towards evening., but without pro-
ducing any decisive result. Last night the four bridges
were partially set on fire, and were still burning this
morning, but, owing probably to a heavy rain, without
sustaining any very considerable damsge. A tra!n, how-
ever, had been laid on each, which it was intended to
blow up in case the passage should be attempted. In
fact, things wore a sufficiently formidable aspect this
morning, for we were virtually in a state of siege, and
had the Government not felt themselves obliged to
yield, they had decided on firing this quarter
of the town, and God knows what would have been
the result. In anticipation of such an occurrence
most of the strangers left the town, which they
were permitted to do with es much baggage as they
could carry, I and my family, together with the under-
signed, remained, and we unite in bearing testimony, not
only to the irreproachable conduct of the people, who
throughcot manifested the utmost forbearance and
consideration both for person and property, but also to
the extreme civility and attention we have experienced
in this hotel, where the proprietor himself has been the
most actively zealous in procuring permits of departure
for those who chose to avail themselves of them. The
report of the killed and wounded is so vat ions that it is
impossible at present to form a correct estimate of it.
We have had one or two narrow escapes here. One ball
pierced the shutter of the room on the ground floor, de-
stroying a valuable mirrcr, and penetrating throug'e an
adjoining wall into the ream beyond. Tranquillity is at
present completely restored, and all further epprehees=on
at au end. I shall feel oh.iered by your inserting this
in your valuable paper, and remain your obedient
servants.

A telegr:phic dispatch received by the French
Government on Monday announces that the mar-
riages of the Queen to I)on Francisco d'Assis and of
the Infanta to the Duke de Montpemier Here
solemnised on the evening of the 10th. There was a
grand mass performed on the morning of the 11th.
MADRID, OCT. 8, SEVEN O'CLOCK, A.M.

Mr. Bulwer has presented another protest to the
Spanish Government on the subject of the Infanta's
marriage. It is short, but strong and decided in
character. This protest is to the effect that the
British Government will refuse to r: cognise the
claims of the children of the marriage to the Crown
of Spain.

The person arrested on the charge of meditating
the assassination of the Duke of Munpensier is a
retired military officer, named Olavarrieta. He was
formerly editor of a Republican paper called El
Huracan —" The Hurricane." When taken before the
Minister of the Interior, he declared that he in-
tended one pistol for the Duke of Montpensier,
and the other fur himself, as soon as the act was
consummated. The pistols were loaded with balls
and slugs. It was near the portico of the Royal
Palace he was arrested, where he was waiting the
arrival of the Princes. The report is that he is
insane. He had been arrested some hours pre-
viously in a gambling-house, but was soon
set at liberty. •His anxious inquiries in the Palace-
square, and his great curiosity as to the identity of
the Princes, attracted the notice of the police. A
grand dinner was given yesterday by the French
Ambassador in honour of the Princes.

More than 200 persons, it is said, were arrested
yesterday and the (lay before.

Tranquillity was completely restored at Geneva
on the 10th. The Revue de Geneve of that date pub-
lishes the following announcement :
" This morning, at ten o'clock, the people of Geneva
met in General Council, and voted unanimously the fol-
lowing decree:—` rhe Grand Council is dissolved. The
resignation of the Council of State is accepted. A Pro-
, visional Government, composed of ten members, shall
be immediately elected by the General Council. A new
Grand Council is convoked for the 25th instant. The
number of deputies is reduced by one-half. The elec-
toral colleges of arrondi,senicat are reduced to three—
viz , one for the city, one for the communes of the left
bank of the Lake and of the Rhone, and one for those
of the right bank. The constituent power is conferred on
this Grand Council to prepare a revision of the consti-
tution, to be submitted to the votes of the people. The
paid guard shall be disbanded. All the damage done in
the affair of the 7th shall be charged to the Council of
State which has resigned, and the officer who commanded
in chief the armed force of the Government.' After
voting this decree, the fellowing persons were unani-
mously elected fur the Provisional Government :
James Fazy, L ads Rilliett, Leonard Gontin, Bordier,
Francois Janin, Balthasar Decret, Castoldi, Pons,
Moulin* Fontanel."
The Provisiotal Government was installed the same
day, and immediately published the following procla-
mation :
" Fellow-citizens,—ln the midst of the anst difficult
circumstances, we accept, from devotedness to our
county, the task of assuming provisionally the views of
Government. With the co-operation of all the citizens,
we can accomplish everything for the maintenance of
order and public peace; without it we can do nothing.
Fellow-citizens, of every opinion, rally round us fte the
inkiest of all. Our charge, which is purely provisional,
emanates from a council general of citizens, assembled
to-day in the place du .Mol:Ird. Constituting ourselves,
in consequence, a provisional council, we maintain in the
existing stat..., the authorities and administrations. We
render ech responsible, as far as it is concerned, for the
mantenance of public order, and the complete execution
of the orders which shall be given them. We conjure
all citizens to maintain by their energetic co-operation
public peace, and thus prevent calamities which would
press upon all. Fellow-citiz.ns of all parties, have
confidence in us, and wait patiently the result of our
deliberations, which shall be carried on as promptly as
possible."
The Constitutionnel, in giving a resume of the
events of the last two years in Switzerland, attributes
all the evils which have befallen that once happy
country to the retrograde and selfish policy of M.
GuizoT. It says—
" Civil war has again broken out in Switzerland. The
Governments of Europe ought to have expected it; they

zens of Switzerland, divided, it is true, by political
and religious passions, but whom wi er and 1,..i0re intelli

nt counsels on the part or France, Austria, and the
other Powers would certainly have reconciled. The ques-
tion of the admission of the Jesuits into Switzerland, and
principally into one of the directing cantons, had called
forth animated debates and sanguinary struggles. On
one side, Lucerne, braving the wishes of the majority
of Swirzerland, had invited the Jesuits, and in deli-
vering itself up to their influence gave them a prepon-
derating action over the ger.eral affairs of the confe-
deration one year out of the three. On the other hand,
the armed intervention of the flee corps had violated
the territory and independence of the canton of Lucerne.
Sound sense recommended the Diet, assembled two years
back, to oppose, at the same time, these two causes of
disorder; first, to prevent and repress all armed inter-
vention of one canton with another ; and, secondly, not
to permit, in a directing canton, called on to govern in
its turn—a state composed of Protestants and Catholics

—the prosence of a celebrated company profoundly in-
tolerant, and which from its origin had declared a deter-
mined war on Protestantism. wo emit here the other
motives. To repress the free corps, and to expel the
Jesuits, was to make moderation prevail, and remove
the principal causes of civil war. The majority of the
cantons would certainly have adopted this course if
the European powers had employed in this sense
their incontestable influence. But nothing of the
sirt took place. We beheld France the first to ad-
dress to the Swiss Government, in a tone of menace,
a sort of injunction, contrary to the Liberal party,
and favourable to the Jesuits. All the other powers, in
a language, it is true, more polite and moderate, pur-
sued the same course. This was a great imprudence.
Thus, the distinction of conquerors and conquered was
set up in Switzerland, and resentment and discord were
perpetuated. M. Guizot and his friends did still worse
than this. Their policy aimed at lowering the central
power of Switzerland, at taking away whatever strength
remained in the Diet, in other wcrds, in the moderating
power, and in exalting the pride and resistance of the
cantons. All our Ministerial journals set about declaim.
ing, as if for a wager, in favour of the absolute sove-
reignty of the cantons, as if they had the design to de-
stroy the confederation, and bring about a dismemberment
of the Helvetic body. The consequences were such as
might have been anticipated. The cantons en aged in the
liberal policy carried to the extreme point their domestic
reforms, and chose for their magistrates some of the most
renowned leaders of the movement of the free corps. The
ultramontane can tons, forming a little confederation within
the grand one, organised a systematic resistance to the
central power, and braved in advance the decisions of
the Diet, if these decisions did not huppen to be in con-
formity with their hopes. Between the two parties so
irritated, the Diet, with its neutral half votes, its eternal
propositions, only served to register dissents, enhance
divisions, and proclaim in Switzerland, by its very want
of power, the inevitable decision of force. The federal
assembly, enervated by the detestable policy of France
and Europe, is nothing more than a meeting of diplo-
matists without power, who pass their time in defying
each other, and preparing war amongst the petty states
which they represent. The canton of Geneva, one of
those over which our influence might be exercised, had
the most contributed, by its holding back, to annul the
Diet ; and of late it had inclined towards the league of
the seven cantons. Civil war has burst out in the midst
of this canton, which the two hostile parties had so great
an interest to win over to their cause. The sanguinary
conflicts of Geneva, are then, as may be seen, ths natural
fruit of the wise policy adopted by our Cabinet. The ve-
ritable policy of France, which was of necessity connected
with the liberal cantons, would be to support in Switzer.
land an intelligent liberalism and a prudent reform of
the federal compact. Far from entering on this path, it
is impossible that our Cabinet does not go further from
it than ever. At this same moment M. Guizot is solicit-
ing throughout the whole of Europe, and particularly
from the Government of Austria, the recognition of

Queen Isabella, England, invoking the treaty of Utrecht,
which Austria signed, opposes with energy the desires
of our Government, which she accuses of having violated
the treaty. It is beyond all doubt that M. Guizot, to
bear down the scale in his favour, and to draw ton ards
him the absolutist Government of Austria, will, if neces-

. .
nary, enounce an ultra-Conservative policy, and will par.
ticipate in all the measures which it may be deemed
suitable to adopt against the liberal part of Switzerland.
A well understood alliance of France and England would
hare answered in Switzerland the cause of moderation.

The recent rupture perhaps, on the contrary, is going to
cruate between those two countries a sort of pretended
Conservative emulation, by which liberty will suffer
throughout the world."

The Great We:tern, which sailed hence for New York
from this pr.; on the 12th ult., had reached New
York on the :oth, after a protracted passage of 18
days. She ercountered terrific gales, and had almost
foundered. The particulars of the weather, &c., will
be found in OT extracts from the papers received.
The steam slip Hibernia, which sailed from Liver-
pool on the 19th ult., was at Boston on the 21, hav-

A destructiie fire had visited Philadelphia, by
which eighty poor families were rendered destitute.
The loss is estimated at 15,000 dollars.

The papers V this arrival contain a great deal of
interesting and rather important intelligence as to the
state of affairs between the United States and Mexico.
The rumour which was published in the London
papers of Monday, stating that a settlement of the
dispute had taken place, is untrue ; on the contrary,
the latest papers from New York state that
" The expectation which prevailed when the last
steamer took her departure, that the offer on the part of
this Government to treat with Mt xico for peace might
be t.ccepted and lead to the prompt teeminatiuti of the
war, is now dissipated. The answer on the part of
Mexico to this proposition, received at Washington some
days ago, without declining the offer, refers it to the
decision of the National Congress, which is to con-
, „ in the early part of December next—the same
period at which the Congress of the United States
commences its annual session. In the actual con-
dition of affairs in Mexico this course does not
seem unreasonable, and ought not to be looked
upon as disingenuous. There is no recognised and effi.
cient Government in that country just now. Paredes,
who had been duly elected President has been over-
thrown by a revolution, which recalls Santa Anna from
the exile to which Paredes' party had consigned him,
and consig,ns Paredes himself to the prison of Perote. A
military chief, General Salas, exercises ad interim the
chief powers of the Government, alike without the con-
sent and without the control of any legislature. A new
Cabinet has been formed since the return of Santa Anna
which is of his dictation." ,

ANTONIO LOPEZ DE SANTA ANNA.
Heroic Vera Cruz, Aug.. 16, 1846.
General Salas has been rather active of late, and
has sought by several addresses to the Mexican people
to arouse it to action against the United States armies-
And on the 15th of August he issued a proclamation,
in which he cites a new insult and cause of resent-
ment—the occupation of California by the American
forces. The following is a brief synopsis of the docu •
meat. We may just add that it appears to embody
the views of Santa Anna—

First. Until the new constiaition shall be adopted,
that of the hear 1824 shall be in full force in every
ar-
ticular in which it is not repugnant to the plan of the
citadel of Mexico of the 4th of August, and in which the
preent anomalous situation of the country will allow it
to apply...

Secondly. The functions of the assemblies of the de-
partmets, and of the exiting councils of governratnr, are
thereby &aired to be at en en:l.

Thirdly. The present Governors of departments are
to remain in the exercise of their functiens, and to be
known as the Governors of the State.
Fourthly. Governors of new departments., without
constitution, will be regulated by those of the States
whose capitals are nearest.

Fifthly. As these functionaries have ro legitimate
title to power, it is declared that they owe their existence
to the political movement which is to regenerate the
country, and consequently the General-in-Chiet can re•
place them, as may best conduce to the interest of the
" movement."

The expedition for Calefonia sailed from New York
on the 25th ult.

The news from the army of occupation state that
General Taylor was on his march to Monterey.
General Taylor had joined General Worth, 1016 had
reached and occupied Seralvo, a town about midway
between Camargo, and Monterey. A New York
paper of the 15th says—

Our forces on the Rio Grande have taken up their
march for Monterey. General Taylor, with his army,
joined his advance, which under General Worth had
reached and occupied Seralvo, a town about midway be-
tween Camargo and Monterey, about the 15th instant.
He Iris sufficient force and ad, quate provisions for push-
ing on to Monterey, which he would probably do with-
out loss of time. General Arnpudia is in command at
Monterey, with an army differently estimated at from
three thousand to six thousand men. Monterey is not a
strong place, and the army of General Ampudia, what-
ever its number, cannot be either well organised or well
paid, or we;l provided. There is, therefore, little to
apprehend from any resistance it can make to General
Taylor's forces. He will easily take Monterey, and
probably Saltil!o, though that is more of a fortress.
What afterwards will be his course cannot be an
tic:pated.

We have a rumour—possibly premature—but only
premature, for it will be verified, that General Kearney
had entered and occupied Santa Fe. That he will do
so can hardly be doubted. The rumour we refer to,
adds that Armijo, the Spanish commander, remained in
the city.
In commercial matters there is a goed deal of anima•
tion. Our wheat crop this year, and that of Indian corn,
are very large, and the farmers are hurrying them to
market to avail of present high prices. The quotations
under the usual head will show what the ruling rates are
Wm! US-UAW If tile It, a now X.,,A
prices there, ours will take another jump.
Th, cotton crop, it is now the conceded opinion, will
be quite short. Sound judges do not carry their esti
mate beyond 1,800,000, and their estimate is founded on
the backwardness of the crop—unparalel!ed since 1838
—the known ravages of the army worm—and the small
receipts of new cotton at New Orleans up to the 19th
inst. The whale quantity received up to that date was
2,389 bales, which is less than half the quantity received
in the preceding two years up to Ist September. In 1840
the receipt of the new crop at New Orleans up to the
19th September was 11,650 bales—and the crop of that
year only turned out 1,635,000 bales.

MEXICO.

We have received, through Havannah, a file of Vera
Cruz papers to the 30th ult. As may be supposed from
the date, the most important parts of their intelligence
has been anticipate d.
The papers are filled with pronunciamentos in favour
of Santa Anna. We notice those of Mexico, Agnas-
catientes, Puebla, Vera Cruz, Cajaca, Qtteretazo, San
Luis Potosi, Durango, Zacatecas, Tobacco, and others.
On the 24th ult., Almonte, Crescentio Rejon, and Boves,
reached the city of Mexico. They had accompanied
Santa Anna from Havannah.

Don Juan Morales has been appointed Governor of
Guanajuato.
As soon as Santa Anna arrived at the Capitol a de-
cree was issued conferring plenary powers upon the new
Congress to meet in December. The promulgation c f
this order created general satisfaction. The people
hastened in large numbers to the National Palace amidst
cries of " Viva Santa Anna!" " Viva Farina!" " Long
live the army."
The Yera Cruz papers express a strong desire that the
new Congress should convene before the period first
agreed upon—the 6th December.

—Don Francisco Olagnibel has been appointed Gover-
nor of the State of Mexico, in place of Senor Cortina,
and 1)on Juan Soto Governor of the Department of Vera
Cruz.

We notice several addresses to various portions of the
army by different chiefs. They breathe nothing but
vengeance ag.ingt the United States, arid express 0 con-
fident belief thrt linnet the invincible Santa Anna, a
splendid victory will be achieved over the troops of this
country.

On the 26th ult., a boat left the Gulf squadron with
a flag of truce, and approached the town of Vera Cruz.
Having touched the shore, an officer delivered a letter to
the Commander-General, and returned without await-
ing a reply. According to the Vera Cruz Indicador, the
letter contained another address o 1 to the Mexican Mi_
nister of Foreign Relations. It contained, in all proba-
bility, the overtures of peace.
Another decree has been put forth by the Provisional
Government, which delares the Constitution of 1824 in
full force, until a new one be formed. The Depart.
mental Assemblies, and the Council of the Government
are abolished.

The appointments which have taken place, are
Gomez Farias, Secretary of Finance ; all these
Rejon,war; Secretary of State; Almonte, Secretary of
it is believed, certainly the two former, companions
in exile of Santa Anna. Meantime this chief remains
at his Hacienda, and does not approach the capital.
Yet he seems to be recognised as the arbiter of the
public fortunes and destinies, for on the 20th August,
four days after he had landed at Vera Cruz, General
Sales addressed to him, as the recognised Commander-
in-Chief of the armies, a statement of the condition
of the nation, and of his own acts, as the temporary
head and chief. One of the New York papers,
sPeai
not peaceful ;
ofhiseaaddress, says---" The tone of the ad-
dress and special credit is taken
in it for the effort made to organize efficient
resistance to the American invaders of the soil."
Santa Anna, in his reply, professes his readiness to
lay aside his " functions" as Commander-in- Chief,
under which title he was recalled by the various
pronunciamentos, whenever the destinies of the nation
are secured by an independent national Legislature ;
and expresses a hope, which full surely he does not
entertain, of being permitted yet "to lay at their
feet laurels plucked on the Sabine." This is mere
"caviare" for the multitude, and is only of importance
as denoting the conviction of a sagacious man, who
knows his countrymen, that any hope, however dis-
tant, of driving back the Americans, even beyond the
limits of Texas, is eagerly caught at by the people.
In addition to the proclamation published by Santa
Anna on the 16th of August, and which arrived here
per the Marmion, we find the following addressed to
the troops of San Juan d'Ulloa :
BRETUREN IN ARMS—
Your generous call having reached me in my exile, I
could no longer be indifferent to it, seeing that it was an
echo of the solicitations made for my return from other
departments. It were impossible for me not to watch
with solicitude the calamities that have been crowding
on our unfortunate country—l could not but feel an ab-
sorbing interest in the progress of the national conflict
in which she is engaged. Your conduct, brethren in
arms, has been noble—patriotic. By declaring in favour
of the plan of Guadalajara, you have rendered an im-
portant service to the nation. For this the nation will
not forget you, nor suffer your sacrifices to be forgotten
strongest feelings of enthusiasm
in the shade of oblivion.
The joy which I feel, my friends, in finding myself
once more among you, is unbounded; and when I see
you, as I do, with the
devoted to the service of our common country, my satis-
faction is uttbonnded. Relying on your patriotism and
virtue, I hurried to join you as soon as it was possible
for me to do so; and I am now here for the purpose of
co-operating with you in working out the salvation of
the Repeblic—reserving it from impending ruin, and
raising it from the ignominious position to which it has
been reduced by treason and imbecility. The cause
which we are about to espouse is a just one—aye, a just
one. It exacts from the devoted sons of the Mexican
nation great and heroic sacrifices. Never, perhaps, before
have we brandished our swords in a cause more noble.
True, everything is destroyed, but we, with the proper
spirit,-and aided by the Mexican people, can everything
recreate. Let us then to our duty, and labour inces•
santly till we raise the Republic from the abject position
in which, at this moment, it finds itself, on account of
the itiramous conduct of those against whom you have
raist d the cry of indignation---who, without legal right
or recognised mission, usurped the national power.
Finally, we will, by our 'pint efforts, contribute to

FROM HAvaNNaft.—By the arrival of the barque Ta
cio, we have received Havannah papers to the 10th inst.
They contain little worth translating.
A bank is about to be established in Havannah.
During a thunder storm in the vicinity of Havannah, on
the 2d, the house of Dr. J. M. Rosada was struck by
lightning, and the mistress of the honse, a servant, and
child, were immediately killed. The building took fire,
but the flames were extinguished before damage had been
done.

FROM THE CAMP.—The news which reached us from
the army, on Saturday night, through the New Orleans
papers, is not to be received without many grains of al-
lowance. No dispatches have been received for the last
three days; but it is not difficult to see that the last
rumours from the army have come to us through reporters
who have imparted hues of too dark a complexion to their
stories. We do not credit the report, for example, that when
General Taylor arrives at Seralvo he intends to tarry
for dispatches from Washington. It would have been
far more consistent with a tactician to have remained at
Camargo, near to his depots, than to have gone on with
provisions for 12,000 troops for thirty days, and then
pause upon his march to consume his rations, and to
receive dispatches. We do not believe it. The reports
oul ion.
fsiiockness, too, are probably extravagant.— Washington

THE NAUVGO CAPITULATION.—A letter from War-
saw, Illinois, dated Sept. 20, and publish( d in a St.
Louis paper, gives the following account of the terms
dictated by the besiegers of Nauvoo and forced upon its
defenders, in that transaction of disgraceful violence
which has just ended by driving the last remnant of the
Mormons out of the state of Illinois.

On Wednesday, the 16:h instant, through the media-
tion of the Quincy Committee of One Hundred, articles
of capitulation were signed by the belligerent parties.
They had been given by Major Brockman as his ulti
matum, from which he would not recede, ar.d were
finally accepted by the Mormons—Clifford being their
Commander-in-chief. These articles were to this effect:
" Ist. That the posse might enter the city on to-
morrow (the 17th) at 3 o'clock. 2d. The arms of the
Mormons to be given into the hands of the Quincy Com-
mittee, and by them re-delivered, after the Mormons
had left the city. 3d. The posse pledged protection to
the persons and property of the Mormons. 4th. The
Mormon population to immediately leave the state.
"At three o'clock on Thursday the posse marched
into the city and encamped in the south end of the town.
Before they had arrived, however, nearly all the Mor-
mons and Jacks, agreeably to the stipulations, had left,
by crossing the river into lowa."
