The steamer Bklt.r,nir, which sailed hence on the 4th
of January, aii:vod out. et Boston on the 22d, with a
motii's news from gland, the packet ships of the 7th
and 13th Dec. not having reached New York. Sufficient
time hal not elapsed to know what effect the news would
have on the money market.
In the Senate the Bill for the issue of five millions
dollars, to meet the exigences of the Government, had
been passed, and- the Bankrupt-law was to be brought
up the day after the sailing of the packet.

seat in the Senate.

' From Canada.the news is unimportant. The Gayer

deem all its circulation, subject only to the delay neces-
sary, for collecting.
The Cotton market is.more buoyant; about B'oo bales
were sold at an advance on most descriptions of 1-4 c.

MEXICO AND THE TEXIAN
PRISONERS.

We are informed by a friend who has letters from the City of
Mexico to the 16th of December, that at that time General Santa
Anna, the Provisional President of the Republic, wad dangerously
ill of dysentery. The Texian prisoners of war were on their march
to the capital. Three of them tired on the road, just beyond Chi-
huahua, and could proceed no further, when the Captain of the
Guard who escorted them, as soon as the fact was reported to him,
had them shot. This cold-blooded act of barbarism, it is repre-
sented, had excited the indignation of all classes of the community,
even in Mexico.

A constituent Congress of the nation bad been called by Santa
Anna, to assemble in the city of Mexico on the Ist of June, of the
present year, for the formation of a new Constitution; in which
Congress all the Departments (including Texas) were to be repre.
sented in the ratio of one deputy to every 70,000 inhabitants.
The population of each department is stated in the decree of the
President, based upon an estimate of the national institute of gee.
graphy and statistics, and is made to amount, in the aggregate, to
7,044,140. The population or Texas is stated at 27,600.—Rich.
