FROM MEXICO.

NV ORLEANsr Jan. 12.-By the arri-
val yesterday of the sehr. George Wash
ington from Vera Cruz, we have Mexican
advices to the cath alt. (which are translat-
ing.) Emperor lturbide having determin-
ed on capturing the Castle Of ST. John,
had marched his army as far towards Vera
Cruz as Aalapas, about GO miles distant,
when his advance was arrested by a re-
publican army under Gems. Lopez and
Guadalupe Victoria. Some small affairs
had taken place between them, but no con
siderable battle and several hundred of
the imperial troops had passed over and
joined the counter-reyolutonists
The republican chiefs addressed letter
TO Itmbide, assuring him that they had no
hostile views againsthis person, but against
his measures-they tell him he has nsta-
ken the will of the Mexican nation, who
will not be ruled by a despot, but are de-
termincd TO be governed by fixed laws. II
he will throw off his crown and become
again private citizen, they will not only
respect him, but pledge themselves to pro-
tect him, in life aud liberty. But there
must be no throne in Mexico, and they
have sufficient bayonets to carry their re-
solution into effect, &c. &c.

OPINIONS OF BONAPARTE.

Characters and Anecdotes, from Las
Cases Journal, Just published in London.
The Emperor Of .luStria-His good ma
ture is well known, and makes him con-
stanty the dupe of the designing. Ills son
will be like him.
The king Of Prnssia--As a private
character, is an honorable, good, and wor
thy man but in his political capacity, he
is naturally disposed to yield TO necessi-
ty he is always commanded by whesever
has power on his side, and seems about TO
strike.
The Emperor Of Russio--Ts man, su-
perior to either the Emperor Of Austria or
the King of Prussia. He possesses wit,
grace, information is fascinating, but he IS
not to be trusted he is devoid of candour.
he is cunning, false and expert-lie can go
great length If die here, he will be
my real heir in Europe.
The Empress Of .7uStrtd-She has adj
dress and ability, and that sufficient 10 en-
barrass her husband, who had acquired a
conviction that she entertained poor o.
pnion Of him. Her countenance was a.
greeable, engaging and had something very
peculiar in it she was pretty little nun.

of uater of all my Generals. Some adj
ded hc, joining actions to his words, " will
sink to the waist, some to the chm, others
over the head but the number OF the lat
ter is very small"
Junot-During the erection Of one ofthe
first batteries which Napoleon, on his arm
val at Toulon, directed against the English,
he asked whether there was Sergeant or
Corporal present who could write man
advanced from the ranks and wrote to his
dictation on the epaulcment. The note
was scarcely ended, when cannon ball,
which had been fired in the direction OF
the battery, fell near the spot, and the pa
per was immediately covered by the loose
earth thrown up by the ball. Well, said
the writer, shall have 10 need of sand"
This remark, together with the GOODNESS
with which it was made, fixed tie atten-
ton of Napoleon, and made the fortune OF
the Sergeant. This man was Junot, alter
wards Duke Of A brantes.
Duroc-Had lively, tender and concealed
passions, little corresponding with the cold
ness of his manner. Chance or some incl
dent could alone have made me acquainted
with Duroc's character. He was pure
yirtuous man, utterly c;sinterested, and ex-
tremely generous. He was one OF those
persons whose value is never known till
they are lost.
Kleber-Was endowed with the highest
talent, but he was merely the man OF the
moment; he pursued glory as the only
road to happiness but he had no national
sentiment, and he could, without any sa-
crifce, have devoted himselfto foreign SER
vice.

1t is certainly time that the principle on
which pensions are to be granted, should
be settled. We have now before us the
petition of Mary Tanning Hibbs, of Bucks
county, in this state, Which petition, after
being presented to Congress, referred and
re-reierrcd, accol ding to all approved for
mulas of legislative practice, has finally
been reported on unfayorably, with leave to
Withdraw the documents though from
their tenor it would secm that few persons
have stronger claims on the country.
The petitioner states that she is the only
child of Captain Joshua Tanning, ho was
kt1sd in the service of the United States,
while acting as Lieutenant Of the Randotph
Frgate, in the year 1873 in the memorable
engagement with the Yarmouth man OF
war. In that gallant, but disastrous action,
the officers and 400 men were by lone
common ruin" suddenly blown into eter-
mtg. At that period, the petitioner was
child of two years Of age, resident with her
mother in Philadelphia. In early life, she
lost her mother, and was obliged to depend
for support and protection on her reiatIyes,
whom the incidents of the revolution had
considerably reduced in Number for, eve
nv male in her fathers family entered into
the service of their country, and all came
thereby to their untimely deaths. Her
grandfather and his three sons, engaged IN
the naval service as officers. The old gen
tlcman died on board the Stromhola Pm
son ship. John Tanning. his eldest son.
was lieutenant of the Trumbull Frlgate,
and was drowned. Simeon Fhnniis com
