Aris,a was taken prisoner by the French.
and General Santa Anna was so grievou.-
Nv wounded o. TO render necessary the
ampatation OF q leg.
The Mexican government, not willing
TO recognize the treaty entered into be-
tween Admiral Bs1din and General Rim
cor. and having declared war upon the
French government, General Santa Anna
placed himself st the head OF 5000 men,
and entered Vera Cruz in spite OF the
treaty. .Admiral Baudin having learned
that Santa Anna was advancing towards
the city. sent a number OF boats flied
with troops, with orders to spike the can
non Of the batteries a, Vera Cruz. While
they were engaged in this labor, the Mex

considerable number OF officers and sol.

THE PARpoNING POWER.

Gov. GaAsoS, OF Maryland. IN his Inaugural
Address, says -
"The most painful duty Of the Execu-
tive Is the negative one OF declining to
interrupt the Course OF Justice. The pow
or OF arresting prosecutions and of pardon
ing criminals Is The more liable 20 abuse,
because i, Is difficult 10 resist its exercise.
when the life or liberty OF a lellow-crea-
,urc is depending upon 1T and when 1t
Is expected that official errors will be
readily excused, il they are supposed TO
spring from feelings OF humanity. The
power OF pardon Is. however, a public
trust. intended for extraordinary cases,
which could neither be distinctly dcscrib-
ed. ror provided for. in any general law.
/, sat. therefore. 10 DO used ia such
cases only. aud not for the qualification Of
the ?ers5n invested with it, OF tor party
purposes. or in opposition TO the general
policy OF the CRIMINAL law; the object OF
which Is to suppress vice, preserve the
public peace, aud protect every citizen
from injury and violence"

Now the bright morning-siar,
Days harbinger
Comes dancing from The east,
And leads with her
The 1owery May, that from her green lap throw.
The yellow eowslip and The pale primrose.
Hail, beauieolis May, that dost inspire
Mirth, and youth, and warm desire:
Woois and groves are of thy dressing,
Hill and dale do boast thy blessing.
Thus we salute thee with our early song,
And welcome thee, and wish thee long.-Jfilt0n
ON THE Sandy Leigh Hunt
May, thou month of rosy beauty,
Month, when pleasure is duty;
Month OF maids that milk The kline,
Bosom rich and breath divine
Month OF bees, aud month oil flowers,
Month Of blossom laden bowers;
Month of liltle hands with daisies,
Lovers love and poets praises;
Othou merry month complete,
May, Thy very name is sweet
My was maid in older times,
And Is still in Scottish rhymes;
Mays the blooming hawthorn bough
Mays the month that's laughing now.
