lHI AMERICAN AND IEXAN FRI SON.
ERs liz MExICO.-The New Orleans pa
pers ofthe lst and I'd inst, contain &C.
counts from Mexico, brought by a gentle.
man who had just arrived in that CITY,
The advanced guard of the MexicGns,
with about 80 prisoners, had reached the
city. From the Bee we learn that they
were brought in, in most wreIched con-
dition, having been marched bare.looted
and almost naked from the place of their
capture. Amongst the prisoners was the
son of Gen'l. Leslie Coombs. The
charity of the foreigners in the city fur
nished them some necessary apparel.
So far from receiving humane treat
ment from Santa Anna, as reported, they
were chained in pairs, and were compelled
to WOrk in the streets as common felons.
The resident Ministers of foreign coun-
tries, had interfered-in an informal man
ner, TO arrest this disgraceful and bartar
Gus treatment, without success. Young
Coombs was extremely ill; his constitu
tion had proved TOO frail to endure the
cruelties to which he had been subjected.
The accounts Of the treachery resorted
TO, 10 capture the expedition, are confirm"
ed. Mr.. Kendall had not reached Mex
leo; he was expected daily, in company
with about 200 Texans.
Mr.. Ellis, our Minister at Mexico, had
demanded young Coombs as a citizen OF
the United States; but that tceek had
elapsed without his receiring any re-
SpOnSe from the government.
The Bee dds:-"We have read mum.
Der of private letters, that speak of the
sufferings Of the captives as most appal-
ling. There has been no clemency
shown to the citizens of the United
States. The general belief in the city
was that nothing short of force would
meliorste the condition of the prisoners,
and that all would be tre 9ted alike. Be
sides these, we have been favored with
the perusal of official documents, detail
ing the circumstances of the capture oI
the expedition, and the march of the prs
oners TO Mexico, which exhibit refine
ment Of treachery, kardihoOd of Perfdy
and an excess of cruelty, arrogance ane
rapacity on the part of the Mexicans
scarcely equalled by the barbarty of thei
forefathers towards the helpless aborigi
nes whom they subjected to every species
of torture, and slaughtered in very amuse
ment."
Mr.. Lumsden,ot the Picayune, was me
about half way between Vera Cruz ant
Mexico, whittier he was fastening, il
hopes of doing something for the benefi
of Kendall, and other American prison
Crs.
Accounts from Vera Cruz, state tha
General Paradez. hitherto partizan o
Santa Annals, is getting up a revolution
in the North to overthrow the ruthless ty
rant.
1t having been reported in Mexico tha
many of the priests Of Spain were making
arrangements to come 10 Mexico, wher'
an asylum had been offered to them b.
the Mexican clergy, the minister of jus
tice issued decree forbidding their be
ing considered as belonging TO the regu
lar clergy of Mexico.

The ENGLISH Whatever may
have been said that was untrue,in in relation
TO the distribution Of English gold during
the last Presidential contest, the fact is
now proven beyond the shadow Of doubt
that there is an English party in the Uni
ted StnIes, whose highest aim is the di'
olutiOn of our blessed Union, and whose
daily acts are disorganizing. 1t is a mel
lnaholy fact, and the angel of truth as
she bears it up TO Heavens high chance
ry, wells her face with her snowy wings
and weeps as she gives it in. The son
of the elder Adams appears on the fl ,or
of Congress as the High Priest at the
shrine of Moloch, and the frost of ages
meIts before the fire of phrenzy, and the
tongue that should be lisping prayers at
the threshold of time, hurls withering cur
ses upon the heads of every lover of his
native land. We weep over the sad spec
acle. We mourn as Washington mourn,
ed when the Newburg letters were found
in the American camp. When West Point
basely sod to the British, and the
mercenary Arnold became a traitor and
IA British General in day. How long
will the people of this glorious Republic
suffer the riEgleaders of faction to go un.
punishedR How long will the spirit Of
party shelter the spirit of hell and glory
in National dishonOr?-Inder.

nrAn extra orthe New York Herald
Of Monday, contains news from China to
the 14th October, by the Valparaiso.
1t appears by this arrival, that the city
ofNingpo, said to be the greatest com
mercial city of China, has, been captured
by the British forces. This city is situa-
ted opposite the island of Chusan, TO the
north of Amoy-lhe last scene of Brit.
ish rapine.
It had been determined by Sir Henry
Poitinguer 10 60 into winter quarters, at
Ter the taking Of Ningpo. This will give
the emperor time TO reflect. In the
spring, nearly the whole British force will
commence operations further to the north
10 penetrate 10 Pekin. We do not be-
lieSe his Celestial Majesty will make any
concession of consequence till that is
done.
With the exception Of the affair at
Ningpo, every thing appeared to be IN
the same state as when The Probus sailed
1t is said that the Mandarns, to keep
the Chinese soldiers from running, when
the attack was made on Annoy, chained
them to their guns. Then, when The
English landed, the long qued Mandarns
took to their heels, and left the poor sol
diers at the mercy Of The enemy.
One Mandarin, just before the attack
sent flag of truce TO an English captain
stationed opposite his post, and desire'
TO make an agreement that neither shoul
use balls, bat TO blaze away at each 9th
er with powder. He said it would pleas
the Emperor just as much as if the ball
we're fred.

The passengers for Albany took stages at
Utica, and had 10 ford several streams
Innumerable masses Of ice we're thrown

the passengers, many of whom were la.

features in the plan and if Congress in
their wisdom should adopt it they certain
~ viii amend il to meet every emergency.
In reference 10 tho objection raised to tho
plan that il would unite the sword and the
purse, the Secretary rcmarks.
Nor is the plan justly liable to the OBJ
lection, that il creates a union of the purse
and the sword, by giving 20 the Executive
the custody or control of the public mo-
ney. Far otherwise. The President
cannot touch dollar Of the public money,
BY his own authority, nor change its Gus
tody. The Secretary Of the Treasury
cannot touch dollar, nor change its Gus.
lody, except to meet the occasions of the
public service, and by public official act.
Whoever shall come TO the Exchequer for
money, nust show the law Of Congress
under which he comes; and no payment
can be made but IN compliance with such
law. Until appropriations are made by
law, the President win have no moro au-
