AMERICAN PAPERS.

(From the New York Papers of Feb, 8.)

" SOUTH CAROLINA.

" The Charleston Mercury of the 28th ult., tells us
that the Bill reported to the Senate by the Judiciary Com-
mittee, to provide for the collection of the revenue, bad
caus,d much excitement in that city. The Mercury call.
it a Bill to invest the President with unlimited power to
coerce South Carolina, and concludes some remarks on
its tendency by saying, If this Bill does pass Congress,
South Carolina :1;N secede ; and it might with propriety
be entitled, A Bill to dissolve the Union.'

(From the Charleston Evening Post.)
" VottuvrEEns.—The Abbeville Whig of the 24th
Jan., informs us that the Volunteers in that district have
raised a fine artillery company, two troops of cavalry,
two companies of riflemen, and two companies of in-
fantry; and that six more companies of infantry are in
progress, filling up. The Edgefield Carolinian of the
26th Jan., states that the regiments in that district have
been reviewed by Colonel Pickens. In Col. Talbert's
regiment, when the order was given that all ready to vo-
lunteer should march forward, the whole regiment ad-
♦anced, with the exception of 31 men, several of whom
have since volunteered. The spectators, amounting to
about two hundred persons, unanimously volunteered also.
This regiment is 1,000 strong, and there are in it not less
than 108 men from 55 to 80 years of age.
" On the Monday previous, three troops of cavalry,
amounting together to about 200 men, assembled in Edge-
field Village, and unanimously volunteered. One of these
troops was composed principally of citizens, who have
heretofore acted with the Union party. They are called
The Meeting Street Cavalry.' They did not formally
volunteer, but declared that they would go with the State.
" On Tuesday Colonel Elzey's regiment volunteered,
with the exception of about sixty men ; and the specta-
tors also came forward with great unanimity.
" On Thursd my the Saluda regiment volunteered, with
the exception of 206 men ; and 150 spectators also came
forward. This regiment will furnish '7OO volunteers.
" The Carolinian say, that it is now certain that
Edg, field will afford at least 2,000 volunteers. The field
returns show that 1,872 have volunteered on the field,
including spectators, and excluding those under 18 years
of age.
" The Pendleton JTlessenger of the 23d instant, states,
that the Colonel of one, of the regiments in that district,

Col. AlsKinney, a Union man, has declare.' for South Ca-
rolina, and entered his name as a volunteer."
" IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.

"We are happy to find the interesting news from
Mexico, which we received last week through the Ha-
vannah papers, confirmed by the following letter, which
comes through a very respectable channel, and is entitled
to great credit. It is a most interesting trait of the pre-
sent times, :that soldiers in different countries have, in
several instances, been among the first to make peace.
This inclination on their part must have a tendency to
render ambitious men distrustful of them, and, of course,
to discourage them from attempting, by their means, to
oppress their fellow-citizens.

' New Orleins, Jan. 17.

" We yesterday received news from Mexico. Santa
Anna and Rustamente agreed on an armistice, to last
until the Congress should approve or disapprove of the
project of peace proposed by General Pedraza. It was
rejected, upon which Bustamente, whose situation was ra-
ther unfavourable, declared in favour of the plan of Santa
Anna. The latter then marched for the capital, and, on
his approach, th,. inhabitants received him with open arms.'
" MORE DIRECT AND MORE PARTICULAR
FROM MEXICO.

"We have received, from a correspondent at Vera
Crue, papers of that city to the sth of January, which fur-
nish us with full accounts of the pacific triumph which
Gen. Pedraza has obtained, his juyful reception at the capi-
tal, and his entering upon the government of the Republic.
" After the amnesty had been tormed, the supreme legi-
timate Government was installed at Puebla on the 26th of
Dec. ; and 6n the27th, the garrison of the city of Mexico,
beaded by J. J. Herrera, declared in favour of Pedraza.
" The accounts from Vera Cruz, received at New Or-
leans, inform us that the declaration made by the garrison
of the federal capital in favour of Pedraza, took place on
the night of Dec. 26.

" On the receipt of this news by the acting President,
Musquiz, he convened both Houses of Congress, and ten-
dered his resignation, which was accepted, and he has re-
tired to private life. The offices of the four departments of
state have been shut up, and the archives are placed in the
hands of the secretaries who administer these departments.
" On the 2d of January two divisions of the opposition►
forces entered the city, and were received with enthusiastic
acclamation by the whole population. It was supposed that
the chiefs would enter the next day."

The Right Hon. E. STANLEY, Secretary,
had an audience of his Majesty on Thursday, which lasted
upwards of two hours.
Lord DUDLEY, who still continues at a cot-
tage in the neighbourhood of Norwood, was so extremely
ill yesterday, that his physicians scarcely expected that he
would survive the night. In the event of his death, the
estates entailed on the title, amounting to about 6,0001.
a•year, go to a relation, who is a clergyman in the neigh-
bourhood of Bath ; but the bulk of his Lordship's fortune,
amounting to nearly 100,0001. annual rental in land, be-
sides an enormous sum in ready money, his Lordship is
said to have bequeathed to a younger sun of his legitimate
heir. The will is thought to contain some curious items,
and rumour already states that the validity of it will he
contested.

The LORD CHANCELLOR, accompanied by
Sir J. B. BOSANQUET, inspected, at SOTHEBY'S in Wel-
lington-street, on Saturday, an interettting collection of
Egyptian Antiquities—among which are fourteen enrolled
and perfect Papyri; magnificent statues in white and
black stone ; five mummies, in the highest state of preser-
vation ; a grand wooden sarcophagus, the inside delicately
painted, and covered with hieroglyphics; forty sepulchral
tablets, in stone, in the most perfect and beautiful state ;
v ises, in alabaster and black mat ble ; idols, in terra-cotta
and in wood, and other extraordinary antiquities, found in
the various temples in Egypt, Nubia, &c., and consigned
to this country for sale. These splendid monuments of
antiquity were, we suspect, collected by some of the
scientific followers of BONAPARTE, when he was in Egypt.
They are more numerous, and in a more perfect state, than
any similar antiquities at present in England, they must
excite great attention in the learned world.

Mr. ROTHSCHILD gave a grand dinner on

Marchioness of WESTMEATH. Earl and Countess of ALBE-

Prince TALLEYR AND has, we hear, prevailed
upon the purchaser of the very extraordinary letter written
by Louis XVIII. to the Duke of FITIJAMES, involving
" Bourbon honour, and fraternal affction," and which
was sold a few days ago at EvANs's, in Pall-mall, to re-
linquish the same in his favour. The PRINCE intends to
incorporate this precious and most authentic document in
his memoirs, which already extend to many volumes in
manuscript.

several of the late gales, was seen off the entrance of the
Bristol Channel on the evening of Wednesday, the 20th
ult., with signal, of distress flying, by the City of Water-
ford steam-packet ; but the state of the weather at the
time prevented her rendering auy assistance. The Erin
was a very fine vessel, and well known on this station,—
