CONSUL TO RIO JANEIRO.

The Independent throws some light on the
character of Powell, who has been nominated to
Rlo-and who, for some cause or other, the day
alter his appointment, sent in his resignation.
From the Independent
MIR. Powell was long, we learn, the intimate,
and even The confederate of the famous Col. Mum
roe Edwards. The singularity of such an APP
pointment Is increased by the fact that Edwards
committed one of his iorgeres against Mr.. Web
ster himself SO that his attention cannot fail to
nave been directed towards what has been made
SO public as the relation between these men, But
| besides, this man Powell is here connected in
the public imagination, with the old burning of
the Treasury. He is Massachusetts man. and
(ike Edwards) of very influential connexions,
irreproachable but OF him. 10 conciiae them,
was no doubt Mr.. Webster's object in the an
polntment; and such-now that the chief and
Doldest OF those few In the Senate who ALWAYS
spoke right out their honest thoughts is with
@rnwn-sucn VIII now, we have no doubt, soon
be the visible game of the Administration and
especially of Daniel Webster, the chief, the SUI
Preme manager 1--WE aver it without the slightest
nesitation) OF every main corruption now subtle
~ and secretly spread every where that thera-is
nope OF making party strength. In the Senate
they VIII now grow holder. That is the power
most capable of checking all their designs /;
winch, Tor their entire hope, look to the bride of
places to buy up friends, and to command a peo-
pie whom they cannot delude, by swayine their
leaders with Indirect inducements. What is
more notorious than that any Senator, who has
TINS lar held firm, has now but to relax into even
partial support of the Administration, in order
to command for his friends almost any offices he
pleascs! This, gentlemen may do, without for
letting their public honor, their party connexions,
or any thing, but that last of all things which
shouid De forielted-tlie perfect, the undoubinp
confidence OF those with whom you act, in yonr
high, sincere, fervid fidelity to your friends and
your cause,
Against Mr.. Slacum, we can hear of no legiti
mate causes for removal-none, except posi-
o''ity OF his having been injured by the fact that
nephew oil his-Mr. May-made certain scan
oalous communications in Louisville, as to the
Secretary OF State. Mr.. Slacum is originally of
Alexandria, and of couse well known here. We
understand that his character is excellent. The
once is an important one--probably worth above
$4,000, per annum.

this was true, might look upon it with less alb

Sir, have already said more than intended to

gentlemen, in their vote on this resolution, not tc

States, but the good people Of Virginia. But ]
may be going too far. Other gentlemen know

condemnation OF the Bankrupt law in all it's pro-

THE AMERICAN PRISONERS in MEXICO.


A letter from the United States Special Agent
to Mexico. Mr.. McRAr, is published in the Fay
etteville North Carolnan, in which he SAYS:
"Whcn arrived in Mexico found that the en-
tire party of those captured had reached their pins
ces oil destination; ninety or one hundred of whom
were confined in convent i'm the suburbs of the
city, the others In the ancient convent of San
Christoval, some twelve miles distant. Those in
the city, previous to my arrival, had been in a
measure rendered comfortable by certain resident
Americans, though they were suffering the daily
ndigniy Of being exposed, heavily ironed at
hard labor upon The public streets; and forced to
submit to the still further degradation Of being
seoa'sod by their bratel cop,ors. Those at San
Chrstoval were in a deplorable situation; part of
them were almost entirely naked all of them
nearly starved; for they had not, at the time of
my visit, morsal of food for three DAYS. A vio-
lent epidemic, OF the nature of smallpox, was ra-
gng among them, and those who were ill., desti-
tute OIL blankets and wanting the necessaries Of
sick chamber, were absolutely lying on stone
ioor and rolling in their vomit, presenting pic
ture OF wretchednesS and misery shocking 10 he,s
man nature. Most of the sick have, however, rc-y
covered, and all have been tolerably provided for
vi those confined at San Christoval, a new dis
position has been made; about 80 or 100 having
been sent to Puebla were said to be suffering
greater indgnties than the others, they have been
placed In irons, and at labor cleansing the sewers
OF the city, and to add to the disgrace of their
Ineianchoiy Situation, the Indian convictS the
hlthiest and most disgusting wretches, have been
chained with them, hand in hand
but Tor the strenuous eXeItions Of his friends

state) would be in the same situation he and DIR.
hi!aker are, for the present, in the hospital Of
San Lazaro, where the lepers are attended. 1t is
said, however, that immediately upon the Iecove-
ry OF their health they TO be transferred to the
company OF their friends, to partake OF their suf-
ferings and distress. Those at Perote have fallen
into better hands, and have met with comparative.
ly kind treatment. 1t is TO be feared, however,
that their happiness will be of short duration for
the tyrant who holds them in bondage knows no
generosity, and will allow it's existe nee in none
OF his subordinaies. His determination seems to
be the entire determination of the 'and pirates of
Texas; and his hatred to Americans is but little
less in degIee. His will is absolute law. His
people dread his power they detest his person
and surrounded as ne is with an army of 10000
men, and spirits vile and black as his own, fear
that nothing short Of the most energetic policy on
the part of this Government, or their own death,
can possibly mitigate the cruelties which are
hourly pracised upon unfortunate citizens.

MOVEMENTS OF THE IMPORTERS.

The new movement of memorializing Congress
In favor of an increased tariff of countervailing
duties, by the IMPORTING MERCHANTS Of New
York is indeed an important one. II has been
thonSht that they were the most decided adver-
sarles OF the Tariff, and that they most proiitted
by The nominal duty; but experience, the best OF
teachers, has convinced them otherwise For
eigners have taken the trade from them. Vsrv
truly, and with it's wonted comm on sense view OF
things, does the New York Express say: s.rhe
Free Trade has been found free all on one side.
and that oar side. The world takes nothing from
us 1t can do without, and we take every thing
from the world. This city, therefore, has be,
come the great entrepot and auction mart for For
eigners. 1t is a huge suburb OF London. 1t is
second Lyons. 1t is Manchester shop. The
Foreign Trade is going. or has gone into foreign
hands American Merchants are becoming but
Clerks or Factors.-'rhus times change and men
change with them: and hence this Memorial in
our columns.''
And from this how easy it is to see the consc-
quent general paralyzaton ordomestic enterprise.
Improvement and advancement in every thing
that can minister TO nations greatness. Our
mineral resources partcularly--such important
sources of wealth and independence TO the coun-
try as they are-rnust become unavailable with
out proper protection. The coal and iron interests
OF Virginia, which vast, and which if encour-
aged would greatly increase her wealth, must
languiSh and become insignificant without the
proper protection-so must similar interests in
other States-Without change Of our revenue
laws, declension, and decay must be the conse.
