MEXICAN INTELLIGENCE.

We find in the New Orleans papers Of the
llth inst. copious accounts from Mexico,
and a variety OF official correspondence and
details relating to affairs in that Republic,
which are of good deal of interest. Mr..
McRae, bearer Of dispatches from our Gov
crnmen, to the American Minister in Mexico,
and of the answers to them from that tunc-
iionary, had arrived at New Orleans, ac-
companied by several American gentlemen,
among whom were Mr.. Van Ness, who il
seems went out Secretary to the Santa Fe
expedition, and Mr.. Lumsden one of the
Editors of the New Orleans Picayunc who
had visited Mexico for the purpose of pro-
curing the release of Mr.. Kendall his as
sociate, one of the caplives in that ILL Judged
and Inflated enterprise.
Mr.. Van Ness was released through the
good Offices Of rcrnel, the Mexican Minister
of War. Mr.. Faulkener, a British subject
also taken aagraate deiieto was released b,
Santa Anna upon the mere request of I'll,
British Minister, and came to New Orlean.

CENSURE OF MIR. GlDDlNGS.

BY reference to the Congressional pro-
rccdings in to-day's paper, our readers will
ho made acquainted with the recent high
handed proceedings Of the House of Repre-
scntatves in the virtual expulsion Of Mr..
GlDDtNGs Of Ohio, for presenting to that
body a series Of Resolutions IN regard to the
Creole" case. Although in our judgment
tho INTRODUCTION of these resolutions, pend
ing The negotiation between our Government
and England, was il-timed and injudicious,
yet the great truths which they assert will be
founl on "A close scrutiny, TO be in strict ac-
cordance with the doctrines of the Dcclara-
ton of Independence. Some of the doc
trncs may 60 a little too far, but in the main
we regard them as correct.
But the most alarming feature in tins
transaction is the insuIlcrable tyranny of the
House Of Representatives. We know those
Southern hullcs, with their natural allies,
tho Northern Tories, were boiling, with ILL
concealed rage, at the rising surees Of popu-
lar Indignation which broke forth from every
free State in the Union, at the recent AFRO
giant bearing of the Slave Representatives
towards the venerable ex-prcsident ADAMS
But VIC were not yet quite prepared for such
an unblushing attempt to choke the voice OF
free discussion in the peoples Hall. And
has il really come to this Do these South
crn blackguards really suppose that VIC oil
the Free States are such miserable cravens
that we will ,amely sit down under this ac.
cumulatcd load of oppression and insult
II so, we assure them they wolully mistake
their men. But one step further can be
taken by the Southland that is to demand
Of the North the immediate and uncond
tonal surrender of every man who doubt
the divine origin of their "peculiar institu
tons" to be tried by a jury of Shareholder
under the summary process Of Judgc Lynch
To the honor of the Northern wings be
spoken, they voted, with scarcely an cxccp
ton, against this abominablc proceeding Q

to their ancient scrvilily, Ccarncd in tn

uaanimity, in tacor Of this high-handcd out

THE DRUMMER Boy OF LUNDy's LANE.-Ma-
jor General Winfield Scott, while on the frontier
during the late border difficulties, at compile
mentary dinner given him by the citizens Of
Cleveland, related the following characteristic
anecdote that occurred during the battle Of Lun.
dy's Lane in the last war:
In the very midst of the battle, his attention
was arrested by observing at little distance,
where whole company of ri1emen had just
been cut down by the terrible fire Of the cne-
my, three drummer boys quarrclng for sin.
gle drum, all that was lief. to them. Soon the
two stronger ones went TO "listcuiS," while the
third quietly folded his arms, awaiting the issue
Of the contest. At that moment a cannon ball
srrck the boys and killed them both With
one bound the little fellow caught the drum from
between them, and with shout of triumph
and loud "ta,too," dashed forward to the thick
est of the fight. Said the General, 81 so ad
mired the little soldier, that rode after him ant
enquired his name, which was--, and d.
rected him to find me at the close Of the battle
but never saw him afterwards"

respectable merchants in Cleveland, arose, ant
With smile and bow, informed the company
that he was the drummer Boy Of Lundy'

JUDICIAL JOKE.

During the last war, Judge Banks Of Mas
sachusetis was at ono time the only Demo-
cratic Judge upon the Bench of the Common
Pleas Of that State. One day while he was
holding Cour, at Greenfield, Mr.. Wells, a
witty lawyer of that place, asked leave to
read some legal report with view to its &C.
ccptancc by the Court. But Judge B. re-
marked that as he had had fatiguing day,
and it was near night, he would adjourn tho
Court, and hear the report in the morning.
In the evening, the news arrived Of General
Hull's surrender. This was the subject Of
some iIl-naiured and unpatno,ic laughter
among the Federalists, of whom Mr.. Wells
was one, while it filed their opponents witt,
grief and detection.
Next morning Mr.. Wells came into Court
and was accos'cd by Judge Bangs as follows :
Mr.. Wells, we will hear the report YOU
proposed TO offer before the adjournment
last evening" The report is, your Honor"
said Mr.. Wells rising, " that General Hull,
and all his army have surrendered 10 the
British! ~ Slr," said the Judge promptly,
the Court do not accept that report"

INVASION OF TEXAS!

New Orleans papers OF the 10Th inst. con.
tain the important intelligence of the invasion
of Texas by the MeXicans, received by tho
steamer New York, which left Galveston on
the l2h inst. Several Texas gentlemen wers
passengers in the New York, who state ,ha,
the invaders are variousy estimated a, from
To $4,000 strong, under the command Of Arista,
and had entered Texas at various points. Tho
MexIcans already occupy San Antonio and Go.
lad The TaSans were concentrating on Vic
toria, Gonzales, and Austin, at which places
desperate resistance will be made.
From an Extra OF the Civilian, (Galyeston)
OF the 18th of March:
by the steamer Dayton, Just arrived from
Houston. We learn that expresses arrived yes
| terday from Austin, dated Oh Monda, last, e.a.
ting that intelligence had reached that place,
that San Antonio was taken by Mexicans on
Saturday last. Capt Do,,on, who brought tho
intelligence from Austin, states that the mum.
Der OF MeNlcans was large, numbering several
! thousands.
The express which reached Victoria last
night, states that body OF 800 Mexlcans, who
captured Capt. II. Ferguson, and from whom
he escaped, stated that their force on this side
Of tho Nueces numbered 500, who were des.
tined for Victoria. that 5000 had gone to San
Antonio, and that there were in all 1900, this
side of the Rio Grande.
Men are turning out rapidly at Houston.
a number Of men left this city yesterday for
the seat of war, ard company IS expected to
leave to-day
The Doe adds the following from an au,he mite
source -
AT IL o'clock on Sunday, as the New York
was coming out from Galveston, we met the
steamer Edward Burrelson, Just from Houston,
and learned officially of the surrender of San
Antonio to the MeXicans, under the command OF
Gen. Nasquea, on the 9th instant. His force
consisted OF so lancers, $50 cavalry 100 infant
, 30 mounted Caddo Indians, and about $50
rancheros, aud is, no doubt the advance guard
= OF the army. All the MeXcans IN Bexar have
r joined the invading army. From the iniorma-
9 ton we can get, the entire Mexican force now
in Texas is believed 10 be about 10000. Gen,
, Burrelson has about 1000 men under his COM
maud at Gonzales. and is daily receiving acces.

warm reception, and although, the numbers arc
largely against them, he and his men arc Ger.

manned Of some beneficial legislation by the present
Congress could have been medi,atcd, in the offer of
these resolutions
Can i be supposed, that Mr. Gddngs is not aware
Of the dsessc state Of the country, and the absolute
necessity of some legislation 10 prevent its utter ruin!
Can he suppose that members are performing their
duty 10 their constituents, in thus making sport for
themselves by arravIng one section of the country
against another, by the agitation of such questions
these, while the public Treasury is suffered to become
bankrupt, and the industry of the nation is parazed,
through their neglect of their proper duties If the
House cannot pass vote Of censure upon such con-
duct we trust the public will raise their voices against
it, We hold it to be duty TO protest against conduct
which places so much at hazard the highest interests
of the country.

WOLVES ON THE PENoBscoT.-Tt is a re-
markablo fact, one worthy the attention Of
our Legislators, that these fcrocious animals
have been rapidly increasing for the last few
years, destroying and driving the deer from the
back forests down into the settlements, and &C.
canonaly killing sheep. The remains of large
Mouse have frequently been found, that were
run down and killed by the wolves.
One of our citizens had quite an adventure
with them last week. Col. John Goddard, who
has teams on the Matawamkeag, was going i'll
TO his camps, and n approaching spot where
an OK that had died was hauled out of the road,
he discovered seven wolves to work on the car.

his gun with him in his sleigh, but his only am
munition was a small partridge charge and sin
gle ball in his pocket; this he dropped into his
gun, and advancing near enough TO be sure OF
his object, he selected tho largest and most fe-
rocious looking one, fired and brought him
down. This, instead Of frightnng away the
others, only caused them to look up and glowl
Col. G. wishing to secure his game, advanced
cautiously with his gun in his hand, ready to use
the but should they attempt TO make game OF
him. This however they did not attempt, but
walked around, keeping about 20 or 30 feet
from him, snarling, growing, and showing a
most formidable lot of teeth Col. G.. notwi,h.
standing did not relinquish his object, but sue
ceeded in bringing off his prize, and carried him
safely to the camp. This would be exciting bu

but it was rare sport for Col. Goddard, for he
loves adventure, and the more hazardous it il
the more fun for him.

The Earl Of Aberdeen announced in tho
House Of Lords, Feb. 81, that the ratification
of the quinluple treaty relative to the slave
trade, had been exchanged by four of tho
powers, but that the ratification of the King
OF the French had not been exchanged with
those of the other powers. The protocol al
the desire of the French PcnipotentIary had
been left open for the accession of his Cow
eminent at a future day. The treaty would
now bind but the four powers who had rati-
fed 1t; but the treaty with France concluded
in 1881 and 1888, to nearly the same pur-
port as it regards France, remained in full
force and vigor.
A letter from the correspondent of the
Times, dated at Paris. Feb. 20, says that
council Of Ministers was 10 be held that day at
the Chateau Of the Tuieries, under the pres
dcncy of The King, at which the protest Of
the American Minister against the ratification
would be discussed. If it be true that Gem
eral Cass had made sucl, protest, it mus,
probably have been done on his own respon.
sibity, as he could hardly have received in
structions on the 17th of date subsequent
to the intelligence Of the signing of the trea-
ty being received in this country.
Later news from India had been received
by an intermediate overland mail. The ad-
wees from Calcutta are to Jan. II, and from
China TO Nov. 80. The latter is not inpor-
tant. There is a variety of news from India
OF some interest, but no events had occurred
of great importance.
1t is stated that reinforcement Of 10 900
troops was going forward FROM India to Chi
ma, with number OF heavy guns. 1t was
