constitution to be referred, and that
they were subject to future Legislative,
action. They knew all this, and with
their eyes open, voted for members OF
the legislature, who were in favor oil
the law, and for creating the debt. Il
would now be breach of faith as well
as of law, to attempt TO repudlate the
bonds on this ground.
But il IS said that the first section Of
the supplemental act is unconstltution-
al, because it alters or repeals the 9th
section, without being acted on by two
legislatures. This is untrue in point oil
fact. No part of the 9Th section IS al
tered. So far from it being altered by
the supplemental act, the latter ex-
pressly recognizes and enforces it,
That it repeats and modifies other sec
tons Of the act, is admitted, but this
the legislature had the unquestionable
power to do. It is only necessary to
compare the provisions Of the 9Th sec
ton with the first section Of the sup
elemental act, to see that there is not
the slightest alteration, The 9th sec
ton says, in order to facilitate the bank
in making the loan, ''the falth Of thsS

the affair sifted, and redress obtained.
The venerable President Bustamente was
very indignant at the transaction, the more
so as he said it was then the grand object
of Mexico to conciiate the favor both Oh
the United States and Great Britain, and
this business would prove damper upon
all the friendly relations which they were
trying to establish. Castro had been sent
for to answer the accusations brought
against him, and it was thought by many
that he would suffer severely for his con-
duct.
We were within three days travel OF
Vera Cruz, and within twenty five days
of home, and my impatlencc to he on the
road overcame all my curiosity to witness
the lions of the far famed city of Mexico.
But here we must wait or proceed to la
lapa, and there wait for the sailing of the
monthly packet there being at this time
no opportunities for New Orleans, which
generally are frequent; but an English
steamship had advertised to ply as pack
ct between New Orleans and Vera Cruz,
and having made one trip and driven
away the small packets from the line had
found it too Improbable to continue and
thus we were without any opportunity Of
reaching the place. We made the best of
our disappointment however, and amused
ourselves with looking at the lions Of this
splendid city.

TThRQLYNEXH
Honolulu, Saturday, Nov. 27, lS4l.

AS the accounts which we have hitherto
published of the loss of the U. S. Ship Pea
cock, have been but partial, and in some
particulars incorrect, we are induced to give
fuller report, gathered from more recent
intelligence. The Peacock in company with
the Flying Fish, made Cape Disappointment
July 18th ult. both vessels having been de-
tanned on their southern cruise, and in put
ting into Oahu for provisions, three months
later than the period appointed for their juno
ton at the Columbia with the Vincennes and
Porpoise; in consequence of which Capt.
Wilkes had become much alarmed for their
safety, and indeed entertained fears of their
total loss upon some one of the coral islands
at the South. The next day, being Sunday,
the 18th of July, Capt. Hudson in the Pea
cock approached the mouth of the river, and
supposing that the Vincennes was inside, de-
termncd to enter Immediately, by sailing di-
rections and chart which had been furnished
him at Honolulu, by a vessel recently from
the river There was no hope of obtaining
a pilot. The first attempt was made with
light breeze from the south, which brought
the ship to the leeward of the mouth. She
was then put about, and stood off. After
divine service the wind becoming more fa-
vorable, Capt. IL. stood inshore again, fol-
lowing compass bearings according to direc-
tions, until the water shoaled to about four
iathoms, with breakers in sight; the ships
head was then kept more to the eastward un-
til the water deepened, but no channel being
discovered, Capt. II. had determined to stand
out to sea again, when smooth water was re-
ported to him, with every appearance of the
channel sought for. The vessels course was
then changed for it, and in few moments
she struck upon the outer edge of the north
bar, in smooth water, and lay humping
heavily. Every eXertion was made to oct
her off, but all were fruitless. AS the tide
changed, the breakers rolled in, and the shin
forged further ahead upon the bank, thump-
ing more heavily each time, while the sea
rose so high that no boat could have lived in
1t. With night the dangers increased, and
she renamed In a most critical situation

whom he informed that although she had
an undoubtcd right TO impose upon stran-
gers, rhen she could, yet that she must not
appeal to the law for redress when she |
failed in her laudlblc attempt. Thus was
this important legal case closed, the most
interesting one probably, which has ever
been brought before the tribunals of san
Juan de Lagos. The old landady made
her exit in a tremendous rage, having had
her days journey for nothing, abusing the
officer who had been Of such assistance
to us, telling him that he had no business
to interfere between his own countrymen
and foreigners. We left the Hall of JUS
tice, quite satisfied that we should not at
present have an opportunity of visiting
the mines or seeing David Crockett, and
returned to our room to enjoy Il hearty
laugh at our adventure.
Our next days journey brought us to
the town of Lagos, fourteen leagues from
San Juan. Here we met with another
adventure, and with an instance of McXi-
can honor. Some Mexicans who were
interested in the sale of the coaches in
which our party was travelling to Mexico,
met us here, and after consultation with
the Patron who had charge of them, he
informed us that as they wished the
coaches to proceed to Zacatecas, as they
were in demand there, they had conclud-
cd to leave us to proceed to Mexico as we
best could. Here was charming situa-
ton to be left in the heart of Mexico,
ignorant of the means of proceeding, after
we had chartered Il coach and paid for it
to take us the whole distance. We ex-
postulatcd, but in vain; the coaches must
go to Zacatccas. We threatened to APP
peal to the Alcaldc, but the Patron, know
ing that we had no receipt for our money
and no means of proving the bargain, on
ly laughed at us. AT last, in the morning
we seized our pistols and ordered the SER
wants to lash our baggage as usual to the
back of the coach, and made the Patron
understand that we were determined not
to be so imposed upon, and that we should
not allow the coach to leave without u.s.
Seeing our resolution, they held another
coaches but the one we occupied, and
furnish the officers with horses and mules,
forcing two Of them upon US, and crowd
ing our crazy old vehicle, which we had
hired for ourselves exclusively, when it
would hardly hold the weight of us four.
This affair being settled we proceeded
slowly and uncomfortably, our mules hav-
ing begun to give out before, and the adj
ditional weight of passengers seeming to
check their go-a-head propcnstics in
great degree.
This our sixth days journey brought
us to Leon; large town where is held
annually an extensive fair for the disposal
of produce and merchandise, which are
sent here from Mexico and Guadalajara
and bought by the merchants in the inte-
rior who flock from all quarters Of the Re-
public. In the evening we walked round
the Plaza which was lighted with torches,
having a very picturesque appearance, and
crowded with people buying and selling.
Goods of every description were exposed
for sale, and one would suppose that this
was fair in large city rather than a
daily custom in town. Here one of our
