The Presse goes on to show that immense
advantage can be derived from the late revo-
luton, which has substituted negroes, friends
of France, in the Government, to the iealons
mulattoes. THERE'S little probability thatthe
next instaIn1ent due in July, will be paid. A
pretext will be that Boyer has carried off the
money. France can take every advantage Of

LATER FROM MExlco.--By the arrival oftbs
u. $. ship Vineennes at Pensacola, the editor
of the Gazette has received papers from the
city of Mexico to the 9th Of June, three or
four days later than previously received.
The Gazette translates d decree Of Santa
Anna. denouneiug the punishment of death
upon foreigners taken with arms In their hands,
fighting against Mexico. 1t bears date at the
palace, June 18th -
1st. For the future no quarter shall be-
granted, and all foreigners who invade the ter
ritory of the republic on their own account,
that may be captured under arms, shall imme-
dIately be put to death, whether accompanied
IN Their enterprise by few or many adventure
ers, and although ostensible it may be justi-
fed by the pretext of Interfering in the civil
discords, with the view Of attaining a political
end.
This penalty shall be inflicted upon all for
be they of what country they may;
because the Mexieans being at peace with all
other nations, the responsibility Of him who may
make war upon them is purely individual, and
places him without the protection Of existing
treaties.
I'd. The generaLin-chief of the army, the
generals commandment of the maritime and
frontier departments, and all having military
authority that shall apprehend a foreigner in
vad1ng our territory or p~romulgating civil war
arms in hand, shall be responsible for the
tn1ot srrrf,,ihtts nnr,.rItat,..n. - AZ =
cree, and the punishment for its infraction
shall be the loss Of office by the person respon.
sible.
Therefore | command that this be printed,
published and circulated, and receive the pro.
per execution.
A MOTHERS DEvoTfoN.-The Augusta
CHRONICLE says. on Sunday an aged and re-
spectacle looking matron, the mother of the
murderer, Green, who was recently sentenced
be hung in Columbus, Ga. passed through
bis city, having travelled from Baltimore, on
ler way to see, commune with, and offer CON-
ISOLATION to her wayward soE in this hour of his
adversely. What a striking evidence
If the devotion of a mother for her offspring,
md how beautifully does il illustrate the truth
II the remarks OF the writer who, abiding TO
mothers love, says:
A man, mother is the representative of his
maker. Misfortune, and even crime, set up
10 barriers between her and her SON. Whilst
lis mother lives, he will have one friend ON
'arth who will not listen When he il SANDER
%, who will not desert when Re suffers, who
viii solace him in his sorrow, and speak TO
i'm Of hope when he is ready to despair. Her
Elections know no ebbing tide-it flows on
rom a pure fountain, offering consolation or
preading happiness thTonght his vale Of tears,
nd ceases only al tire ocean Of eternity.
O." Al correspondent writes that while ira
cling through Lancaster, Pa, a short time
lnce, be observed the following lines on the
cor Of an inn -
"Come, customers, and pay what ID due,
Or give a note that ] can sue ;
] wish TO close my old arrears
With all my frie ndss and cnstomeers
Then come and cit and take your ease,
Drink what you will and what YOU please;
Fat, drink and dance, and smoke and play
And when you're done, don't faH III pay.
Ny books are full / cannat trust,
So do not ask, for pay yon ntsssk"
