From the Pennsylvania Sentinel

General Santa Anna.-We are author.
lied to state, says the National lntellegen-
Ger Of yesterday, that letter was received
yes terday by Mr.. PINcKNEY, of South Ca.
rolna, dated the I'd instant at Lexington,
Kcntucky.) from BARNARD L. BEE, Esq.
one of the Texian escort of SANTA ANNA,
in which thaAYsIer informs him Of the ar
rival Of III }ral at that place, on his
way to th eaSf Government of the Uni.
ted State AIe is represented as having
suffered from serious indspositon on his
journey. His lungs are said to have been
affected "by the transition from warm
cabin 10 the GOODNESS of travelling on horse.
back, which he was obliged to do in cross
ing the country" On his arrival at Lex.
ing,on medical aid was Immediately pro.
cured. His physician, Or. DUDLEY,) at
the date of the letter, considered him con.
valescent, and it was expected he would be
able TO resume his journey on the 9th.
Theparty accompanying the General, were
anxious to reach Washington with all pos.
sible rapidly, in the confident expectation
that "grcat good will result from the move
he has made" What that "move" is, the
letter does not state. No explanation is
given of the specific object for which he
has undertaken this visit TO our Govern.
ment. Gen. Bravo's proclamation had
caused no mischief in Texas.--Doubt!ess,
preparations are making by Mexico for an.
other struggle, but the Mexicans cannot
stand winter campaign, and the writer
has no doubt that before the spring all will
be well. Santa Anna travels in an accom-.
mediation stage, as he would be una.
bleSto sustain the severity of travelling at
night.
lie is said to be courteous, intelligent,
and dignifed. Considerable inconvenience
has arised from the necessity of conversing
with him by means of an interpreter. But
it was remedied as far as possible by AL.
monte, who is said TO manage the inter.
course between the General and his escort
tolerably well.

GTAt Reading, Penn, a meeting was held re-
Gently, on the subject Of high prices in provisions
The committee, in its report, attributed the high
prices to the spcculatons in flour and the distil
latioa Of grain. 1t was resolved by the meeting
=" That it be recommended to the farmers Of
Berks county, to withhold the grain they have
on hand from all persons whose object it is to
make profit it, and to sell it out at fair price
to their neighbors and such other persons as may
require it for present support That the dstilors
be requested to suspend the further dstilltion Of
grain, until the next harvest and that the tavern
keepers pledge themselves not to sell any ,ohis-
key, until the present price of grain is reduced.
King Appetite, is an arbitrary old Huaks-so
that if the holders of grain in that quarter are as
thirsty grain dealers in some other parts of the
world are, prices will soon be reasonable.

LATER FROM SPAIN.

By tho politencss of l.. O'Sullivan. ESQ.,,
who came passenger in the ship Alfred,
from Cadiz, we obtained the following YER.
bal intelligence, the ship having brough no
papers:
: "The army of Gomez, the Carlist Gen.
eral, which had been ravaging the province
of Andalusia for three months, and battling
all the troops of the Queen, by which it had
been constantly surrounded, was at length
destroyed in a battle near Medina Vidonia,
almost within sight of Cadiz. Gomez had
made an unsuccessful attempt TO retire to
the Taeus, but was prevented by the pre-
sence Of Rodil, the Minister of War, with a
large force interposing. Rodil was recall.
ed to Madrid to answer for misconduct in
not bringing Gomez TO action. lis army
was left in command of Gen. Narvaes,
who commanded in the battle of the 25th
and 26ih, near Cadiz. Espinoza was sus-
pended as Captain General of Andalusa,
by Ordonez, his second in command.
"Gomez has twice entered and sacked
Cordoya, took Almadcn by storm, threaten
ed Seville for nearly fortnight. He
marched down to Algeziras, where he had
a slight action, in which an English frigate
from the Bay, took part in favor Of the
Queens troops.
alt was reported at Cadiz, when the AL.
fred left, that Gomez had been taken pri.
soner. His army was entirely dispersed,
and the prisoners were being brought into
Cadiz."

rrRolative to the Bank Of constantine. W

pRoative to the Bank Of Constantine, w,
wero in error in saying that the commissioners
ire by the act of incorporation the board Of d..
rectors for the first year. In looking at the char
ter, we observed in section l, that the "Commis.
sioners shall act as directors, &c. until the first
election of President and Directors, as provided
for in this act !" which is the first Wednesday in
January. That day having passed before tn
stock was taken, we clme very naturally to tn
conclusion, that there could DO no election until
the first "Wednesday of January next year. But
on looking further, we find provision made for
that default, as follows:
"Sec. 6. That in Gaze it shall at any time hap
pen, that an election of directors shall not be
made on the day when, pursuant to this act il
ought II haze been done, the said corporation
shall not for that cause be deemed to be dissolved
but it shall and may be lawful, on any other day,
to hold an election for directors provided thirty
days previous notice shall be given of the time
and plac, of meeting, as provided for in the first
section of this act"
This shows the authority for tho election noti-
fed in our advertising department, for an eloc-
ton of directors on tho Gath of February.

" When President Houston, of Texas, asked
the advice of his senate, relative to the release OF
Santa Anna, with liberty to proceed to Washing.
sponsibility and referred the matter back to him
Whereupon, he released his captive forthwith.
Santa Anna, with his secretary Almonte, was
escorted to the American territory, by five cav.
airy soldiers. Some farther account of him will
be found in our paper to-day.
The Senate, in surprise at the sudden release,
asked of Houston an explanation; which he may
or may not give, shall suit his disposition.
The army and the people rcposc SO full confidence
in their president, that they have manifested not
the least displeasure at Santa Anna's release.

o. We invite attention to a notice, for a meet
ing in this place, on the 4th of February, to form
an agricultural society. This is exactly the
right subject for useful and respectable organi-
cation, and no better season Of the year could lie
selected for attending to it.
The improvement in the breeds of stock, sug-
gested in the notice, is an important considcra-
ton, Us reason for forming an agricultural SO.
ciety in this part of the state, Immediately. No
country can be better fitted for stock farming, in
all tho varieties Of domestic animals, than the
counties of Cass and st. Joseph. The introduc.
ton of the best kinds of grain and grass, would
bo encouraged by well regulated agricultural
society; besides stimulant for growing the mul.
berry and production of silk-well adapted to our
soil and climate.
In fact, the market demands the great improve.
ments in the productions of butter and cheese, in
quantity as well as quality, which an efficient
society woull encourage. We hope tho notice
will meet prompt attention.

Mr.. CGnning.-For several days before
his death Mr.. Gallatin, the American En-.

and much of Mr.. Cummings own situation
and conflicting parties. Mr.. Galatin told
him he could never live amid so much bust.
ness. To be secretary for foreign affairs
in fact-first lord of the treasury in fact
and nnme-and not only prime minister,
but soc minister. Mr.. Canning explained,
that Lord Dudley only took the. place of
secretary Tor foreign affairs TO oblige Inn,
and pro tempore. But that he had been in.
duced to come out of the Office, with all
the details of which he was acquainted, and
to take the Treasury, by having received
letter from an ancient friend OF Mr.. Fox,
who told him that Mr.. Fox always regretted
he had not taken that, as there lies the
patronage and said Mr.. Canning, although
| might have put friend there, it is very
different my asking favor, or q favor be.
ing asked Of me and am determined,
said he, waving his hand with most EN-.
phatc gesture of ambition, to hold tho
reIgns whiie I lice. He lived fourteen
days He told Mr.. Gallatin he had not
been free from a great pain since the Duke
Of York's funeral, when they kept him ia
the cold damp vault two hours--nor slept
whole night since Lord Liverpool's illness.
Such is worldly honor, and the best thing
