The UNITED STATES N MExIeo.-The
reader viii find on our first page a part OF
the correspondence, and all that is essential
to an understanding of the matter, between
Gov. Shannon our Minister at Mexico, and
Senior RECON, the Mexican Minister of for
eign affairs, TO which W. alluded last week;
and each one wilTread it with deep humilia-
ton, that representative of our Government
has been SO utterly and shamefully discom-
fitted by the fuuctionary of a nation we have
all along been disposed 70 look upon as only
half civilized. A more complete overthrow
never took place in a diplomatic e~ncountei
between two countries. "If recalls forcibly

WABASH AND ONO CANAL-Wno

WABASH AND OHIO CANAL-WHo
AREITs FRIENDs.-We saw a Memorial to
Congress, a day or two since, praying for a
grant oflund for the completion of the above
mentioned work, signed by the Captains.
Clerks, Pilots, and Engineers, of the princi-
pal boats navigating the Ohio river. 1t was
sent, by a gentleman in Cincinnati, who has
for a long series of years been connect
ed with Boats on the Western waters, 10
this place, to be forwarded TO Washington.
We hear of similar fayors from friends of4he
work in all parts of the country occurring
daily, and we have little doubt that the mum
Der ofpetitions in favor of our Canal, which
will be laid before Congress at this session,
will far exceed the number that were pre-
sented last year.-The interests felt in the
work by all parties in all sections oil the coun,
Try, and the slight opposition made to it by
the friends of the Wabash for the last SIX
months, lead US TO believe that the mea
sure will pass the two Houses of Congre S.
at an early day. In the Senate, as we have
already noticed, Mr. WHITE has introduced
a Bill to grant the lands prayed for, which
will no doubt pass without opposition. Ii
the House, we see that our Representative
Mr.. Owen, on the 9TH inst, gave notice tina
he should on the next or some subsequen
day ofthe session ask leave TO introduce
similar Bill. If the measure is pressed cad
in the session, and we doubt not it WILDE,
will certainly pass, and we think, receive th
signature of the President

OUTBREAKS IN MEXICO.-We learn
from late New Orleans papers, that by the
way of Texas and direct arrivals at New Or
leans, intelligence has been received in re-
gard to the seditious movements in Guadala-
lara. These outbreaks are represented to be
of the most serious character, involving a
large portion of the army, and threatening 10
occasion a general revolution. 1t was ru-
mored at Galveston that Arista had openly
embraced the cause of the insurgents and
had taken part with General Paroles, and
that he was on his way to San Luis de Poto-
81, at the head of a large force. The report
is quite probable, as Arista's disaffection to
Santa Anna is we'll known.
1t is doubtful whether Santa Anna can OBJ
tain control of the necessary funds for carry
ing on the war both with Texas, and the re-
b%ellious portion of his country. A strong in
terest in Mexico is represented as prefering
to see Santa Anna WELD absolute power,
and the British minister's said TO be at the
head of this party. II is further stated that
large amounts have been offered to Santa
Anna on condition of the.repeal of the pro-
tective tariff; together with guarantee Of a
loan Of twelve millions, on a pledge of one
hale of the increased duties, and that Santa
Anna is disposed TO accept those propositions
How much truth there may be in these ru
mors we shall shortly learn. The Dictator
must have money, and will probably accep
any terms by which he may obtain it.
Letters received at Matamoras state tha
San Luis de Potosi and Zacatecas, as vel
as Guadalajara had taken part in the sediti
Gus movements of Paroles against SAINT;
Anna and the Government.
Gen. Alvanez has placed himself at the
head of an instruction in the South OF Mex
leo. 1t was thought at Matamoras that tht
contest between the two factions would b
very fierce. 1t is even stated that some 80,
900 of the inhabitants of Mexico had declar
! ed against Santa Anna, and he purposes re
ceiving protection in Vera Cruz; but tn
gates of that city, it was expected, would b
] closed against him. This intelligence want
confirmation.
Tampico, Matamoras and other cities {
: Mexico, were, according to last advice.
greatly ravaged by typhus lever.

10 uR SHIpPING MERCHANTs.-Weare
satisfied there is not a single individual in
our community, from the highestio the low
est, but feels the deepest interest in the pro-
posed extension of the Wabash and Erie
Canal 10 the Ohio River at this point. We
doubt if there are a dozen voters in this Coun-
ty whose names will not be found attached 10
our memorial 10 Congress TO that end; and
in the adjacent Counties, and throughout the
State generally the same good feeling in ia
vor of the work is known 10 exist. But the
measure has its oppposers, as every thing
else has, and it is as well, perhaps, that the
friends Of The Canal should know who they
are, especially when they are continually
asking business of us. A letter from a gen
tleman residing in Cincinnati, connected
with the River trade, TO a friend in this place
says that the writer after procuring the sig
natures Of the officers of most of the princi
pal boats, called on Capt. James Summons
of the DE-. FraahliR, for bis signature, which
he refused TO give, and he not only %refuse(
to sign the memorial himself, but used ever!
e~xertion in his power 10 prevent others from
doing SO. Capt. Summons pursued the same
course last year, and we are disposed t.
think that when this fact is made known Il
cur Shipping Merchants, Capt. Summon
may as well travel by with his boat, for h
will get no freight here, even should he of
fer TO take it at half price. ''lVe votes 70
them as ote for as as the Dutchman hd
it. 1t is a rule that all world works by, and
the Captain of the DIR. Franklin will find b,
and bye that the people of Evansville under
stand it.

THE CHINESE TREATY.-Thee ar
rival OF the Sappho at Boston from Canton,
brings intelligence that a treaty has been
concluded between the United States and
China. 1t is said that the treaty is brought
also, and The Boston Advertiser states thatil
learns from letters thus received, that it was
understood at Canton that the treaty negoii-
ated by Mr.. Gushing has gained several i'm
portant advantages for Americans. Among
these are mentioned a reduction OF the duty
on lead to 81 mace, and the privilege of A.
merican ships going from one port to anoth-
er without paying port charges more than
once, or suhiecting their goods to the pay
ment of more than one duty. 1t is also said
that an increase of good feeling between the
Americans and Natives has already beeno one
beneficial effect Of the embassy.
The Boston Courier says: A letter from
Mr.. Gushing to a friend in Boston, states
that the treaty, with the tariff and other mat
tiers, had all been finished, and he was about
TO embark for this country, as stated above
and expected TO be here previous to the ar
rival of the Sappho. He may therefore be
looked for within a few weeks, at farthest.

INDIANA LEGlSLATRE.-Our Legs
lature seems to be doing very little, so far,
at least in the pu blished proceedings of the
two Houses we can find little which we
think would interest our readers. Such is
the regulation Of our mails that we frequent
ly receive our Baltimore and Washington
papers on the same night with those from
indianapolis, consequently we are behind
the times in regard 10 our State Legislature.
A Resolution to instruct the Committee
on Elections, to inquire into the expediency
OF so altering the Election Laws, as o confne
voters to the township in which they reside,
in giving their votes, has passed the House
of Representatives by a large majority.
u. S. SENATORIAL effort was made a
few days since by the Wings of our Legs
~lature, to bring on the election of U. S. Sem
ate but by the casting vote Of Lieut. Gov
ernor Bright, in the Senate, the further con-
| sideration of the matter was postponed until
the Doth inst,
OF Col. LANE, Senator from this district
introduced a resolution, a few days since,
asking of Congress, the unsold lands in the
Vincennes District, 10 continue the canal
from Terre-Haute to Evansville, which was
attempted 10 be hampered by an amendment
of Mn. EwING, of Knox, for a similar grant
for the improvement of the Wabash River.
"While this was pending" says an Indianap-
oils correspondent, "Mr. EWING made his
annual Speech against the Canal, pretty
much in matter and manner like those here
tofore delivered by him. II would be use
, less TO add a word about this effort, except to
I, say that it was characterized by his usuaI
temper, and by the felicitous employment o
the words, f'priyate speculations, y ''indiVid.
. ual benefit 'waste and extravaganza " &c
. &c. He declared that the river was big e
: nough for all purposes, and adoptedthe ide;
o of the old Portuguese priest who opposedth
d making of a %canalin Portugal, ON the grounc
e of its impiety: "for," said Mr.. Ewing, 81
!. The God of Nature had intended it, HI
e would have made the Canal himself!' o
o course, such reasoning is quite logical an,
. unanswerable. The Senate, however, re
y fused Mr.. Els amendment, and by a larg
y majority. Mr.. Ewing feels sore at fndin
himself at the tail end of the joint committe
4 OH the State Library, and it was to be e1
pected he would rail at every thing. Fine
ing there is no opportunity for HIM for di:
i play this session, he is for an early adjourn
5. ment; and in that matter we go with him.
h We believe the sooner our servants com
d home, the better it viii be for the People
~ their masters.
The appraisement laws were up incider
,e tally in the House on the 9th, on a resolt
to ton of Mr.. Stapp, to instruct the committe
TO on the judiciary to bring in a bill repealin
rs the same. After a protracted discussion, til
lie resolution was indefinitely postponed, by
f. vote of go TO 50. This would seem to ind
or cate that these laws will not be touched
as the present session.
