LATE FROM EUROPE.-We notice
the arrival Of the John Taylor, Capt.
Luce, at New York from Liverpool,
bringing papers to the Goth August.
The N. York Journal of Commerce
says: The ship John Taylor, Captain
Luce, arrived yesterday from Liver
pool, has put US in possession of Eng
lish papers to the Doth Of August, in
elusive, for which we are indebted to
Capt. l.. They furnish us with high
ly interesting news from Spain and
France. From the former country,
we now, for the first time, obtained an
account ofthe causes which led to the
proclamation of the Constitution of
1912, in Madrid, and the change of
Ministry. 1t will be seen by our ex-
tracts that this change was not effect
ed without bloodshed, and that Gen.
Quesada, the former military governor
Of Madeira, fell a victim to popular
vengeance.
The dissolution of the French Minis
try arose, it appears, from the prudence
of Louis Philippe, who refused to meet
the views Of his ministers, by sending
an armed force into Spain for the pur-
pose OF aiding the Queens cause.

MARYLAND.-The elections for Dele
gates to the General Assembly of Mary
land, took place on Monday, the Sd inst,
and from returns received from the whole
State, it appears that 60 Wings are elect
ed, and 10 Van Buren, men and in Caro-
line, there is a tie between two Van Buren,
men. for the fourth seat.
This election has been looked to from
every quarter of the Union, with the great
est interest, on account of the alarming
attempt of the Van Buren, Electors, TO de
stroy the Government, after they had fail
ed in their efforts to get it into their own
hands. II will be remembered that the
Wings had a majority Of but 2 in the
Electoral College, and by The above state
ment, it will he seen they have a majority
Of Al, in the House Of Delegates-more
than three to one. The election through
out the State, turned upon the conduct Of
recusaot Electors. In Baltimore, where
the Van Buren, elector had a majority OF
l64l, the majority in the Delegate cleo
ton is reduced to the meagre number OF
800, in a poll of more than eleven thou
sand votes. Ia Washington county, the
Van Buren, electors had a majority ofirom
a TO 800: in the Delegate election, they
have saved bat a part of their ticket, by a
small majority. In Frederick, they para
ded upwards of 600 majority. in Septem
Der; 10 October, they withdraw their tick,
ct, and refuse to meet the Indignation of
their insulled and betrayed constituents
In Annapolis, and Caroline county, the
treacherous electors themselves stood be
fore the people for the House of Delegates,
and in both, they were repudiated ard re-
jected.
Now for the avowed principles Of the
Van Buren, party: The doctrine Of hastruc,
ton obedience TO the popular wM. They
lave stalked over the land, with their eyes
starting from their sockets, their HAIR
standing like b~ristles, with horror on their
visages-proclaiming'that the very founda-
ton Of government and civil liberty. rest
ed on the right Of instruction, and obedi
ence Of the representative. Where now
is their love for the people, their submis
sion 10 the voice of the people, their holy
horror Of representative disobedience P
Their recent acts, stamp falsehood on their
past professions. They stand forth, offer
ing all their principles, as well as their
constitution, a sacrifice to the shrine of
party.-Else, why do not every mothers
son of them, post off to AnnapolIs-agree
that the people have rebuked their acts
walk into the College, and elect a Senate /?
We have no fears now for the salvation
Of Maryland. One Of the V. Buren, cleo
tors, Mr.. Sellman, has been driven into
the College, by the voice of the people of
Anne Arundel. But two more now are
wanted. 1t is rumored that Linthicum,
the colleague ofSellman. will also Join The
College, as well as the electors from Ca
roline. We think it by no means impro.
bable, that al the moment we write, a Sc
nate is elected. Then what shall this fac.
ton Of destfuctionists have gained-or ra-

A Coop ExAMpLE.-We arc graf
fled in being able 10 state that John
s. Sellman one ofthe "nineteen," has
promptly obeyed the instructions of
his constituents Of Anne Arundel, as
conveyed through the ballo: boxes, and
entered the Electoral College. He has
qualified according TO the provisions of
the Constitution, and honorably joined
himself to the twenty-one Electors
who have remained stedfast in the line
oftheir duty, without shadow ofturning
This prompt obedience to the voice
and wishes of the people, is a praise
worthy act on the part of Mir. Scllman;
but we could expect no less from one
who is imbued with the true spirit of
republicanism. To stand out p%erverse-
ly, after such an expression Of opinion,
as was afforded through the ballot box
es, on Monday, would be to offer duty
and patriotism as an oblation to the
requirements Of Faction
We do not hesitate to express the
confidence we feel, that the good ex-
ample Of Mr.. SelIman will soon be fol-
lowed by others Of the 10 electors, and
that, very shortly, the Electoral Col
lege, thus constitutionally organized
will proceed to the discharge gifts high
duties in the election of a Senate Of Ma

HoRACE EVERETT ELEcTED.-The
Van Buren, papers have said and re-
peated that Horace Everett, was not
elected from Vermont. The Clare.

that Mr.. Everett IS reelected to Con-
gross, by a majority of from 40 to so
votes. All the towns in the District
have been heard from, giving Mr.. Ev.

votes over Partridge and Flint, which
was reduced to between 40 and so by
about $50 scattering votes.

CONSTITUTIONAL CURRENCY.-We
observe that an attempt is making to
affix to silver and gold the especial
character of composing a constitutional
currency. No doubt the precious me-
tails make very constitutional money,
and so does buckskin make very con-
stitutional breaches. But there is no.
thing peculiarly constitutional in either
case. Nankeens and bank notes are
as constitutional as buckskin or specie

ment, when attempts to influence State
elections are so frequent on the part OF

"One thing | will say, that future

II have no later news from Texas

But there a be little doubt that coun-
ter revolutions have commenced, or
are on The eve of breaking out among

ing more nor less than a military des-
potlsm at present, under the fraudulent

much fear we shall not have the good
fortune to meet the enemy. Our con-
gress will meet in November next, list
Monday and ! suppose, as awful as
the consequences may be, we shall be
compelled to pass a solemn resolution
to wage Il war Of extermination, and
carry it from Rome to Carthage, I'M
less they on their part, repeal their

The ludicrous effect produced on a
body of armed Mexicans, who beheld
for the first time, the movements of u
steamboat, is thus described by one of
their officers:
cat the time of the Texian cam
paign, General Goana, from the interi.
or province Of GGanajuato, while on
the banks of the Brassos, with his
troops, ordered seven of his men, who
could swim, to go into the water, and
stop q steamboat, filled with Texan
soldiers which was approaching at the
rate of ten or twelve miles an hour ! !!
But as she came roaring on, sending
forth columns of smoke, with her sides
barricaded with cotton bales, not only
did the selected seven retreat, but the
whole force-eight hundred men-stood
appalled, at the "serpent of fire." as
they thought her. When opposite the
valiant army, the engineer let off a ter.
rIble blast OF steam, and the cavalry
wheeled and fled. The infantry broke
their lines, dropped their muskets, and
followed in the retreat; and the steam
boat was miles away, before the SOL
dicry could be rallied to fire a gum
Indeed it was with the utmost difficulty
they could be prevailed upon to ap-
proach the banks of the river at all,
and when they did so, it was with fear
and trembling"

Their, what hal they have lost? The
people Of Maryland have seen the sword
Of Damocles hang over their liberties, and

from its legitimate fouhtain-VAN Blu
