1.-The Banks here, when specie is called
for, refuse to pay silver, and turn out sover-
eigns. One of them has an old man with
spectacles 10 weigh each one separately y, AT
the rate of 500 10 the hour. A gentleman
applied for gold to carry with him TO New
York, wanting $500. To accommodate
him. the old man commenced counting and
weighing the soveregns at ~ o'clock, and
continued very deliberately until 2 o'clock.
When taking out about twenty dollars OF
the amount, he very coolly showed all the
other pieces weighed, back among the pieces
laid aside as being deficient in weight re-
guessing the gentleman, as bank hours were
over, to call again in the morning.-D

MEXICO.

The New York Courier and Enquirer has
received advces from the city of Mexico to
the 18th Of March, and from Tampico to the
10Th.
On the It'll of March there was revolu-
tionary movement in the city of Mexico. 1t
originated in the alarm produced by the pub
hcation of decree Of Congress, ofthe 9th Of
March, making reduction OF fifty per cent
on the value OF copper coin. Many CONNER
cial houses, store keepers and retail shops,
refused to receive copper in payment for
their goods or provisions, whilst others only
consented to take it at discount of IS per
cent. The marke, people initiated this ex-
ample, which placed thousands of the poor
in the impossibility Of procuring bread and
ofthis state Of things was discomfort indig-
nation against the Government, and popu-
lar revolution.
At o'clock in the forenoon, large mum.

palace and the contiguous streets, and began
TO cry, "Docn wiM his Gooerament!-

was given to the Government and two OF
three patroles were despatched to disperse
the rioters. They refused TO retire.

Merchants. intelligent citizens and foreigner:
retired to their houses and stores, and burri
caded the doors, and the mob tried TO breal

From the London Times.
LONDON, March S.---The- resolutions
brought forward by Lord John Russell,
coupled with the circumstances out OF which
they arose, have opened discussion Of
some elementary questions, the importance
of which has been more or less disguised by
the conventional phraseology Of Parliament.
The mass of grievances set up by the
French malcontents of Lower Canada a
mounts, in plain language, to this-that they
are subject to the British Crown, and the re-
dress demanded by their advocates is, that
Lower Canada shall cease to be colony Of
Great Britain. Mr. Robinson was the only
speaker on Monday night who gave the
thing its proper name, and charged the
French party with broad attempt to throw
off the colonial character OF the province
and dsmember it from the British empire
Nor was this accusation fairly met on the
part of the French Canadian advocates
| They talked about constitutional rights, a
bout bad government, about the Tenures Act
the Land Company Act, the necessity oil
having an elective Council the necessity
that public servants should be responsible
the right inherent in the House OF Assem-
bly, to raise taxes, and appropriate the a
mount of them, and so forth: but they new
er came to the point, and said stoutly-"Wt
will not be governed any longer by Grca
Britain; we insist on being as Independent
of her as she is of US; we insist on being
British Colony no longer" They all i'm
piled as much but no one dared to avow III,
truth, even to the extent of which the Mid
dlesex orator had set them the example, b,
denouncing in general terms as intolerable
the 'baneful denomination Of the mother coun
try
i AS for Lower Canada, we care but it'll
about it but as a channel for the course o
the ST. Lawrence, the Nile Of British Nortl
America, and the only medium Of commu
nication between England and the far NOR
valuable region and more kindred people Q
the Upper Province. The French Cana
f dams mean separation, and nothing else, b.
, their turbulence. For themselves alon

After several months investigation, and hav-
ing seen many cases under treatment with this
and other instruments of the same kind, the
undersigned unhesitatingly pronounccs JA-
OUTFITS TRUSS, in his opinion, superior
in mechanical construction, retentive power,
manner of giving pressure, and especially in
ease to the wearer--to any instrument Of the
kind now before the public The principle is a
just one-lounded on the principle of adhesive
inflammation, and the anatomy Of the tissues
implicated. Aud still more cogent reason for
this opinion is-Hernia has been cured by the
application of Jaquiths Truss in repeated in
stances. DANA HYDE, Nj. ID.

younger brother for of pottage. II the spirits
ofhe mighty dead take cognzance of subunay things,
tho immortal patriots of our revolution rown with in
less to appreciate, and who want the the courage to
rescue from the grasp of foreigners, the noble legacy
they left US.
Fellow citizens, we warn you in the most solemn
manner to beware of, and to suspect that man Of
cherishing treason in his heart who would willingly
share with foreigners at cheap rate as our laws
allow, our dearest political rights, the very foundation
and bulwark of our republican government. He that
will not cherish these and defend them from foreign
aggression, as he would the very wife of his bosom,
hold to be unfathfu to his country, and unworthy
Of the inestimable privileges he enjoys. And equally
unfahful, and equally unworthy is he, who shall at
tempt to sow division in our ranks, whether by en-
deavoring to identity us with party, or, by other
means. -
Rouse up, then, native Americans! Hitherto you
have slumbered in false security Awake to a sense
Of your DANGER already the Philistnes surround you,
your Della but to destroy. Awake eer you
be shorn of your strength. The crisis has arrived
when you must ACT, or expect from your indulgence
and apathy to your government and country in the
hands Of foreigners and yourselves and children the
servants Of the slaves of Kings.

A friend from Norfolk inform u.s. that on his pas
sage up the river from that city, while in the bay, he
saw vessel bound to Baltimore, filled with passen-
gers; he says they stood the decks and sides of
the vessel "thick as hops," Ito use his emphatic
expression.) They snugy fixed away in the
Dutch tavens Of tho Monumental city, smoking their
pipes and dreaming of fatherland Think they in the
abiding and holy enthusiasm that characterized our
parents, Of the blessings of political free
and unshacked-alone and gloriously Independent;
know they aught Of bloody Lexington and stern Bun
ker, Of old Putnam and the brave men who fought on
that sacred height-of Washington, and of his deeds
of war, and self sacrifices of peace. Know they how
the Thirteen Colonies up and in the days of their
infancy shook the Lion from their thresholds and drove
him from their possessions; how ancestors in the
assembled Congress-, after mature deliberation and
wise reflection issued the Bill of Rights, and how
(wondrous and sublime spectacle,) whole people,
without murmur of dissent, ratified the covenant
and the declaration; the to maintain freedom
the declaration that proclaimed it to the world the
birth right of Americans! No-they know nothing
Of all these things; years of study may teach them the
immortal history; but will these people study? Can they
study! No-they are not students Of the Unvers-
ties Of Germany they the men who have from boy
hood up, have doffed their caps to passing royaty
who have paid four dollars to the government for lib
erty to kill OK to support their families; who have,
with characteristic apathy, allowed themselves to be
taxed to clothe with jewels the princes Of their adora
ton. And these the who are to negative the
votes of native born citizens; these men ignorant
have said, of all doctrines, and Of that
luton and those wars which cradled those principles
yrh tO at of
men, rather to be equal participators with US, in
those imunities, which at such prices Of noble blood
and suffering, we proudly and fearessly enjoy.

Owing to the want ofthe regular exchange papers, we
have not been enabled to give as great variety ofmis-
cellaneous matter as would have wished, we have
been obliged to rely upon our own resources, which
possibly not ofthe first order, and in the hurry and
excitement incident TO the establishing Of paper upon
moral and distinct principles, these resources have been
somewhat confined. To all, every apology for these

Office, until gathering to focus at the feet of the Pre-
sident it bursts into long and dreadful shout; and
To- from the midst of these heterogeneous factions,
springs up the monarchca, the tyrannic principle;
and the land of Washington is converted into the foot
stool of Tarquin.
We are occupying too much space. We would not
weary, but there statements to be made-opnions
to be broached and sustained; and in the incipieni
stages of moral revolution, there is under current
of enthusiasm, which rises to the stern and stubborn
surface, and minges its glowing coors with the steady
stream.
