Extract of a letter from the British Vice-Consul at
Vera Cruz, dated Oct. 4:
"-I have now to inform you, that on the 28th ultimo the um-
guard of the Government fortes arrived off Paoti. Santa Anna
sallied-out with a !Kong body and attacked them, but was imme-
diately repulsed with some loss. On the 30th Generalitiocon,
who commands the GovernMent forces, haying arrived with the
whole of hia division, summoned Sams Anna to surrender, end,
gave him 48 hours to consider. An express arrived 'this morning.)
with the intelligence that he absolutely refused to give himself op,
preferring rather to sacrifice himself and his puty. A bombard-
ment will consequently be commenced..

The rebels at Puento having also refused to deliver them-
selves, the attack commenced yesterday at five r.u. and we hourly
expect the information of its being in possession of the Govern-
ment forces
" The Government continues tivinost energetic measures, and
receive from all quarters assurances of the ,good disposition of the
States In its favour ; thus I hope the rebellion will soon be at an
end, as it may now be said to be at a crisis, mid appearances very
much against it."

In the Court of Sessiowon the 9th of December, the
Judges decided, by a majority of eight to five, that the driwer of a
bill, though he have discounted it, may, during its currency, .take
out a fogs warrant against the acceptor, is the same way as if it
were an ups* debt. The connection, it was found, of the drawer
of the bin weans so much broken off as to deprive him of an
interest in the debt. He still remained liable for it, if not paid by
the acceptor; and it would be contrary to the principles of eter-
nal justice, to deprive him of the power of protesting himself
when be wfs visibly about to he defrauded. He might not, in
many cases. be able to get the bid back igto his own Mad, for it
