"And what good-por el nomhre de Dl- es.-wii his marriage do you"
 "Alari marries her for me-iny thousand dollars pay him for his bride. Do you un- derstand!"
 "Como no!" (,chg not2) and the villain laughed loud and long. shuddefed at their rruph2n--but they spake again. '1'was the voice of the latter.
 .sYou have a rival Did you see that -Amerscaa betting at the bank! He and Isabel meet every day or two, in the yine- yard"
 Ait that followed this was indistinet.- sSwords-seryants- of the church | of Our Lady of Guadalupe." This was all. 1 had lost my game-careiessness, you know. went into the monti room.- Stanley was getting up, and his servant ] was putting money i'll bag. l bowed to the two priests, who had been playing took Stanley by the arm, and walked into the air. Gu now cool and delicious it came off from the mountains, and throi the vineyards, after We had breathed the pofiu- ted atmosphere of the gambling room.
 We walked towards the river. The moon was just rising. We sat down on the bank of the stream, and told him all that have now told you. He swore and raved.--- These Virginians are as hot as pepper.-- Now am cooler-I am Marylander.-- am like a cueumbeT-and never quarrel more than three times week. ! am never rash;" the had threatened to pull the Gov eraof's nese, in Santa ke,) sand soon brought him to his reason. In the mean time we had risen, and were going douctly along towards our homes, and ] had just got him in a pretty good immor-he was as mild, as Bottom says, as any sucking dove, he was cooi-not Yankee eool--that's be- low zero-when out jumped three or four fellows from behind the corner of a church, with their swords drawn, and charged upon us. We were both well armed, and as they came on, we both fired our pistols, and down came one fellow, crying to doz- on saints that he was HpRefto (dead); and after two or three passes with our swords, the rest of them took to their heels, and left the valiant Connandante to get help as he could. So did We; but it turned out the next day, that we had only broken his arm.
 Perhaps l ought to explain a kttle.-- By remaining in the country after the pas- sage of the law banishing the Gachanins, Don Santiago was liable 10 fine, if not inl- prisonment.
 T The word sGachupin', which IS applied 10 the Old Spanards, IS word used by the Mexicans, when they first saw the Span- iards, to express what they took them to ha And don't suppose that l exaggerate the deprayity of Atari. Oh, TO. Such exam pies of corruption are very common in this country, for a New Mexican Is never known to possess either honor or virtue.
 The next morning, according to promise, introduced Stanley to Don Santiago, and he was invited to dine with us. After din- ner. and over our wine. i've had delieious wine,) engaged our host in atete-a-tete.- inquired the character of lturbide, and she incidents which led to his dethronement and execution.

He qaarreled whh another General, who was engaged to mar " the daughter of itMblde. Both were ordered to the presence of the Emperor ne heard thelr statements, and tho Sant' Ana was plainly in the right, still he repri- manded hun, and approved the condlei of the other. He was then weak enough 10 send for sant' Ana, and to tell him priyate- iy, that nc blame attached itself to hifr- that he was on the same footing as before. lie then directed him to repair to his sta ton, and to forget what had passed. He also inquired, in how many days he should reach Vera Cruz. Sant Ana answered. that he was perfectly satisfied, that he in- tended 10 return the next morning, and with out hurrying himself, would reach his post in three days. He left the city that night. and the next day, was in Vera Cruz-put his army in motion, who idolzed him-rais cd the flag of the Republic, and tulnbled itnrbide from his throne. The people are already lamenting the Emperor-theV are half sick of a republic. There is neither virtue nor knowledge among them, and they are not fit to be lree.n
 The old man looked round as he conclu- ded. Stanley and Isabel had left the room. 'Iwas my time to speak. laid philoso- phy aside-told him every thing, and plead ed for Stanley. l am eloquent when l take a fancy to be so.
