an accoun, Of the bombarJmenl and sur.
render OF Santa Cruz, oae of the s,ronges,

to have been quite brilliant affair on the
part of the French; but we are struck with
the utter impotence of the Mexicans in
conducting tho defence. That they could
have discharged 100 piece. of artillery,
with so lrIhng effect, seems almost past

bomb cannon is all invention to throw
shells, instead Of shot, as now in use and
from the result Of experiments, il has ex.
ceeded all expectation. BY the report of a
Commission, appointed to try experiments,
in the first trial, one Of these cannon was
fioa,ed on small pontoon, about GAO yards
from an 80 gun ship, moored, and the first
shot was fred; the bomb entered low down,
making breach Of 81 inches in diameter
IN the ships side, which was 20 inches
thick; it had torn off feet OF the inner
plank, and, then exploding, made hole in
the orlop deck Of 2 or 3 feet; knocked and
scattered to atoms more than l6O square
feet Of timber. A number of other shots
were fired, with more or less effect. and
the results obtained from several trials

PENSIONS.

The administration 10 beginning 10 talk
about retrenchment. and the Secretary Of
the Treasury recommends the application
Of the pruning knife to the pension list
The following remarks from The Intelligcn.
Ger, are very much to the point.
could nothing be found to cut down
but commerces Yes, one thing more -
The Pensioners efthe Revolution, it is hint
ed, arc too numerous, and enjoy in their
old age too much Of the favor Of the Gov.
eminent that they built up and cemented
The foundations Of with their blood. Why
does the Administration look upon this
hardy class Of venerable and venerated
freemen with distrust? For they are iden
tilted with public liberty and republican
government. In their day they stood
against all favored classes--all bands OF
office -holders-al custom. house tyrants.-
all the servile instruments paid out Of the
Peoples money to hunt down the People,
and force them into obedience. They
stood against all this governmental DONNA.
ton, and scourged it from the land. Is it
not surprising that they find so little merit
in the eyes OF the Secretary that he can
scarcely condescend to view any Of their
pre,ensions as just, being. as he says, sin
a great degree gra,uitous ," Whatever
the Administration may think Of it, the
friends of public liberty will always view
with equal adherence oil the efforts of the
Executive TO sustain itself by q train .ba nd
Of ofice.holders q, the polls and elsewhere.
and that cold, selfish, sordid spirit which
g,udges small pension to the war worn
veteran who stood BY the country and the
great cause Of liberty when that country
had nothing to offer him in return. The
Revolutionary Pension Lis. will never be
reduced but by that power which. in the
course Of time, gathers into one tomb both
those who receive and those who pay the
pensioners.
