letters state, that a mistake took place respecting the
signal for assembling the conspirators, and that several
Royalists appeared in the street armed, and in their uni-
forms, supposing that the moment had arrived for proclaim-
ing the revolution.
" Some houses were to be set on fire, in order to attract
the attention of the citizens, and in the meanwhile the
citadel and forts of the gates were to be taken possession of.
Some of the conspirators have been embarked for Cadiz
and Alicant, and vessels are preparing to convey others to
different places.
" The real or. supposed appearance of Don Carlos, the
Pretender, Ins not failed to produce more or less movement
in different places. It is not correct to say, as we have
heard it said, that this event has bad no other ill effect than
to have augmented the revolutionary ranks by one rebel
more. A certain plan has been disclosed, which the good
sense of the nation has, however, already suppressed on va-
rious points. Within less than six leagues of Madrid, the
factious have been exemplarily chastised by the lancers of
the Royal Guard, and a troop of infantry, which we believe
also belongs to the same guard.
" As soon as the entrance of Don Carlos into Spain was
announced, we called the attention of our Government to
the fact, and showed how necessary it was in such circum-
stances to ascertain the fidelity and decided character of the
public officers, because we are aware that the occasion re-
quired them to give irrefragable proofs of attachment to the
cause of Isabella 11. How much advantage might not the
conspirators of Valencia have derived from the assistance of
the Administrator of Posts of that city, and of another
officer of the same department, who has also been arrested !"
The draught for a criminal code, which was presented to
the Procuradores on the 11th, is divided into four books,
46 chapters or titles as they are called, and 808 articles.
On that day only the introduction and 348 of the articles
were read, to get through which employed the secretaries,
Trueba and Nelda, during the greater part of the sitting,
reading alternately. The Minister, in presenting this vo-
luminous plan, stated that it had been prepared by. en-
lightened judges, possessing great learning and practical
knowledge. Among its great advantages, one of immense
importance was the uniting in one statute all the existing
laws. Notwithstanding this praise, some of the Madrid pa-
pers express disapprobation of the plan, which is said to
abound in the pain of death and other severe punishments.
The Minister stated that it was the work of a committee,
and admitted that all the members of the Administration
were not perfectly agreed as to some of the details. The

however, thought: it advisable, on account of the urgency oi
the measure, to submit it to the Cortes, by whose delibera-
tions they conceive it cannot fail to be improved.

AMERICAN PAPERS.

(From the New Orleans Bee.)
FROM MEXICO.—The New Orleans papers contain fur.

ther advices. The allusions in the article from New Spain,
charging Santa Anna with violating his duty. and the con-
stitution, by " construing" that instrument as he understands
it, bears apt allusion to a certain other defence of usurpa-
tion. It is a shield broad enough to cover the grossest
•
tyranny.

" We have just received a number of the Ata'oyez Vic-
toria (Tamaulipas), of June 17th. In it is to be found
official information, which makes us fear that New Spain is
now becoming desolated by a civil war. The following are
extracts To the Supreme Head of the Free State of
San Luis de Potosi. Most excellent Senor,—ln the com-
munication which the General Don Antonio Lopez de
Santa Anna sent on the 31st of May to the Chambers of
the Union, you will see that he has exceeded his legal
powers, and broken the Federal Charter, in construing it
as he understands it. The Congress, in consequence of
this, and before they had any knowledge of the conduct of
Santa Anna in breaking up the national Government, issued
the following decree, and also the proclamation which has
been published. Never was there an occasion when we had
more need of union and energy. Now is the time to resist
this tyrant, who wishes to constitute himself supreme Dic-
tator. For this reason we wish you to receive the enclosed,
and communicate it to your Legislature.

" The Constitutional Congress of the State believing
" Ist. That the President of the Republic has not a right to con-
strue the Federal Charter as he understands it;

" The Governor of this State shall communicate this decree to

LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM PERU.—We have been
favoured with the following extracts of letters from Lima,
giving an account of the betrayal of George Bermudez, and
the surrender of the whole army :

LIMA, APRIL 28.—0 n the 26th instant we received the
important intelligence of the surrender of all Bermudez's
troops at Huancuyo, about 1,200 men, to the President,
and we hope this may decide the contest in favour of the
Constitutional authorities, and restore us again to tranquil-
lity. People are too busy in rejoicing to think of business
yet, but we hope they will turn their attention to it in a few
days.

( From another letter, dated Lima, April 29. )
On the 26th we received the important intelligence that
the officers in Bermudez's camp in Huancuyo had effected a
revolution against him, and had surrendered all the troops,
about 1,200 men, to the President, who had appointed Ge-
neral La Fuente to take charge of them. This event may
be considered as decisive of the fall of the insurgents, and
we hope will soon restore us to tranquillity. The Presi-
dent intends marching immediately upon Cuzco. Bermudez
was first arrested by the officers who effected the revolution,
but was afterwards permitted to escape with only one or two
friends. He is pursued, but we think will escape to Cuzco.
Although this severe loss to Bermudez may be consi-
dered decisive of his fate, it will take some months for the
President to obtain possession of the Southern Provinces,
and much longer for the storm of passions which civil Nfar
always creates to subside.
As yet we see no disposition to resume business. The
dealers are generally deeply in debt to the importers, and
until they see means of better payment than they have
lately been able to command, they will not buy freely, nor
will holders be anxious to press goods upon them.
Since the Ist of January the stock of goods generally
here and in Chili has been augmented, and several vessels
with large cargoes are daily expected. We see no prospect
of any improvement in prices, nor do we believe that those
of December will be maintained.--Journal of Commerce.

Dr. Bowring leaves Paris on Saturday next ; he
has had, while there, several conferences with the King and
the Ministers of the Interior and of Commerce.—French

DINNER TO SIR E. SUGDEN.—A dinner was
given at Cambridge on Wednesday by the Conservative party
to Sir E. B. Sugden, the defeated candidate at the last dee-
_

tion. In the course of the evening several speeches were
made against the Whigs and the present Government, and Sir
E. Sudden retaliated the charge of bribery which had been
thrown out against him by his opponents, whom he in return
accused of using certain secret funds for the purpose of cor-
rupting the voters. He recommended Churchmen to unite in
the same manner as the Dissenters were united in support of
their cause, and he expressed his confidence that at the next
election one of the Whig Members would be thrown out ; and
he promised to come forward again as a candidate for the suf-
frages of the Cambridge electors. The health of Sir Robert
Peel was drunk with a " galloping nine," which signifies re-
peated acclamations till the lungs are exhausted, and several.
other conservative toasts were drunk with loud cheering.

We stated that the Wesleyan Methodist Conference
has decided on restoring Mr. Stephens to his station in the
body, on condition of his giving a pledge that he would give
up the secretaryship to the Association for the Separation of
Church and State, and not attend any more anti-methodist
meetings, and that he should be allowed one year to consider
of the matter. Mr. Stephens is unwilling to admit that he
was in error, and will net subscribe to any such imputation, and
has therefore tendered his resignation.—Blanchester Guardian.
Two valuable horses were last week stung to death
by bees, one dying in great agony within ten minutes after it
had been stung, the other surviving about two.days. The ani-
mals were turned into a yard at Chittern, Wilts, where there
was a stack of bees, which they soon upset ; the bees fastened
on the .horses, and the result was as stated.—Western
Luminary.

The antique canoe dug out of the earth at North
Stoke, near Arundel, on one of the estates of the Earl of Egre-
mont, has since been presented by the Noble Earl to his Ma-
jesty, and is to be deposited in the British Museum. This
curious piece of antiquity is supposed to have been buried in the
bowels of the earth for at least eight centuries. The canoe is
thirty-five feet long, and four feet eight inches in breadth, and
appears to have been constructed from one solid tree.
About five months ago the keeper of a public-
house, called the Palais Royal, in one of the suburbs of Cam-
.bray, irritated by a quarrel with his wife, struck her a blow
which laid her at his feet ; and believing that he had murdered
her he immediately afterwards blew out his own brains. The
woman, however, recovered her senses, but finding her husband
formed the resolution of destroying herself
also. lying
ie
the 9th instant she carried her long contemplated
suicide into execution ; having contrived to learn how to
charge and fire a gun, she waited till night, and when all her
children, one of whom is blind, were asleep, she placed the
muzzle of the gun to her throat, and fired with such terrible
effect that her head was severed from her body.—Paris Paper.
