The election of the " Giant Webster" TO
the u. S. Senate is alike honorable to Mas
sachusetts and the Union. 1t will do much
to redeem the lost dignity and reputation
of that once august body. Faction VIII
stand rebnked by his frown, and intrigue
shrink from the quailing influences OF ms
reproach. His presence will restrain tne
Incorporate, his watchfulness expose the
designing, and his talents confound ana
overwhelm the boisterous and corrupt lead
ers of the opposition. He goes there
shielded in the armor of truth and tdellty {;
his motives pure and lofty, and his reputa-
ton unassailablc. The withdrawal OF Mr..
Randolph from, and the election OF Mr..
Webster to, the Senate, is a tWo-fold gain
which cannot be too highly appreciated.

A RUSSIAN PRINcEss. The Swiss doc

consulted by persons of distinction from
all parts of the world. There were once
assembled in his laboratory a number of
French ladies and gentlemen, and others.
and amongst them a Russian prince, with
his daughter, whose singular beauty at
tracted general attention. A French mar
gus was endeavoring, without much sue

ROCHESTER,, y tllS L.
CoSGREss OF TAcUBAYA. BY private
letters received in this village from Mex
leo. under date of April 18th, we learn that
the prospect of reunion OF the General
Congress of American States at Tacubaya,
is somewhat doubtful. The winter says,
!" Every day adds new confirmation to the
suspicion that this THE Mexican) govern
ment, is in all its departments opposed to
such reunion, and is determined, II they
can, without palpable violation Of good
faith and hospitality, to prevent It's further

secretly but powerfully at work in attempts
to defeat it. The Treaty, concluded at
Panama ia s+et i.4 the lfuIIttS or tne select
committee of the respective powers of the
Mexican Congress, to which it was orig
inally referred. A majority of each are
reported to be opposed to its ratification,
and when such happens to be the case, l
believe that according to the course of
/ Legislation here, no report is made, and
the referred subject sleeps. 1t seems that
Chill, has appointed two Ministers to the
/ Tacubaya Congress, who are daily looked
| for here. There arrival may possibly
/ have some influence upon the Counsels of
Mexico, and prompt them to change their
present course of policy, respecting the
General Congress, but as the matter now
stands, whether it be from the presence of
of transatlantic influence, or from jealousy
of Bolivar, whose power it is thought by
j Mexican politicians, will be increased and
strengthened by the General Congress,
this Republic viii not cooperate in re-
vival of it, if she can avoid it gracefully
From the letter we gather, that from some
cause, our country and countrymen are
not fayorably looked upon by men in pow
er in Mexico. With the Gatchupins Or
Old Spaniards, tultras) It's represented to
be still worse, and the Colombians are
looked upon with an eye nearly as unfavor-
able. In the other Republics of the South,
we are gratified to learn that such hos
tile feeling towards the United States and
/ their citizens, does not exist. Accounts
are given of serious disturbances in eau
tamala, where the insurgents headed by a
daring leader approached within or 10
leagues of the capital, and the Constitu-
tionalists of all ages and classes, were
turning out in defence.
