ton Of curious and interesting nature
A circular, dated the 7ih Of June, addressed by
Mr. Cuevas, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, to tho
governors Of the departments, informs them of q
revolt which suddenly broke out, at three O'Clock
in the afternoon Of that day, among the government
troops in the city of Mexico, comprising the guard
! of honor of the President. The movement Is said
to have been directed by General Joaquin Range,
and to have been secretly instgaed by the partisans
Of The late administration. The Insurgents took
possession of the government palace, and made
prisoners of the President and three of his ministers
Of state but were speedily oyerpowered. One Of
the ringeaders of the conspiracy, a Captain Oton;
belonging to the Presidents guard of honor, was
killed during the conflict. General Rangel made
his escape.
The Monitor Constitutional, in giving account
Of the recent personal attack on the French minister
in Mexico inmates that it was provoked by HIM
self, and that he has no just cause Of complaint.
The Siglo Diez .Niiere, of the 9Th of June, de-
votes several columns to another affair, equally tri-
ding in its origin, bur which appears likely to lead
to serious results Ii seems that in the month of
July, of last year, bake-house, owned or occupied
by two Frenchmen, in Mazatlan, (Gaucheron and
Bernet) was shut up by the alende of the place, in
consequence of the complaints of the neghbors
| that they annoyed by the smoke and heat of
the establishment. About the 18th Of May last,
the French corvette L'EIeroine arrived at Ma
zatlan, and the French consul resident there
profted by the occasion to address letter to the
sub-prefect of the district of Mazatan, demanding
indemnity in behalf of Gaucheron and Bernet, and
estimating the damage sustained by them, up to the
18th Of April last, at ,557. To this the sub
project replied, that the subject Of Gaucheron and
Bernet's complaint belonged to the civil tribunals,
ver'which he had no control. Captain Lecomte,
the commander of the corvette L'Heroine, then
wrote to the sub-prefect demanding immediate and
complete PREPARATION for Gaucheron and Bernet, and
threatening him with the consequences of refusal
The sub-prelect, in his reply, states, that he can
carry correspondence in relation to the matter;
and that he cannot exercise any diplomatic func-
| tons.
The Siglo comments at length, and very indignant
ly, these proceedings of the French authorities;
and declares that the tone of their letters is insulting
and threatening to degree truly intolerable, and
whoy.ncompatible with the harmony which regns
between the two countries; and repeats the language
(, used by French newspaper in Mexico, when
speaking Of the personal attack on their minister
thaLit was frightful outrage, unexampled in the
history of civilized nations.

MEXICO.

Our latest advices from Mexico are of the LIST
June. They were received here via Charleston, by
the Neptuna, fortnight ago; since which time, al
though we have had other news by the Anahuac,
which vessel left Vera Cruz on the 29th ultmo; by
the Tit, from Havana to New Orleaps, bringing Ha-
vana dates of the 18th June; and by the Juaquina,
arrived at New Orleans on the 10Th, from Tampco
LIST June, we have nothing as late
These accounts left the Mexican Congress at
work on the tariff laws, which will undoubtedly be
so framed to inure the United States as much as
possible, and favor England. Then somes up a
question with regard to our existing treaty of com
merce with Mexico, to which She perhaps, will re-
ply that we have broken faith with her; such being
the popular view in Mexico of our proceedings
in regard to Texas. The feeling in relation TO any
direct action by way of retaliation, was evidently
subdued little. 1t had, for the time being, re-
solved itself to this determination to wait for
Texas to refuse to be annexed.
The Texan Congress is now in session; and,
from what is known with regard to the disposition
of majority of the delegates, there is no doubt of
an overwhelming majority in favor OF annexation.
On that event being known, 1t is more than probable
that Mexico, unless revolution should take place
in that country in the mean time, will authenticate
the use of the letters of marque which now
known to be in existence
II is wrong to suppose that we have made any
progress in the settlement of this grave question.
We know no more, nor is anything more known at
Washington, than was known equally well a
month ago.--.N Y Eus Post.

[From our regular correspondent.l
PHILADELPHIA, July 1,

AhiLhDELrbih1 July Il, lOfc'
The cold rains Of the last two or three days, in
Producing the first July, have been very cheeress.
There Isl however, consolation, which cannot fail
to be gratifying everywhcre-that these copious
rains are most opportune for the country. Phila-
delphia is in nothing more blessed than in its mar
kes. Situated close to Bucks, Delaware Mont
gomery Chester, and Lancaster, she enjoys the
earliest of the products of these rich and hghiy-cu-
tivated counties--a fact which has given to her
markets just celebrity all over the country. There
is no sight more cheering than to pass through
Market-street on Wednesday or Saturday morn
ing and observe the great plenty and chcapness of
as well as their superiority. While, therefore, the
late rains may have been unpleasant to us, Il is
worth recollecting that they have contributed much
TO the Improvement of the country, from whose pro-
life bosom we mainly draw our support. They
may talk Of the failure OF banks and Of merchants,
but the people most affected by the failure OF the
crops.
That was an eloquent and unrivalled figure Sir
Walter Scott applied TO the death Of Lord Byron,
in the full tide Of his popularity and fame, and may
be quite happily applied to the recent national loss
in the death of General Jackson Language never
produced finer or more expressive idea: "The
voice of lust praise and the voice of malignant CEN
sure are alike suddenly senced and almost feel

JACKSON HALL.

lG-On Tuesday night last, the Democratic
Association appointed committee to make arrange
ments for laying the corner stone of Jackson Hall
IA building intended by its generous projectors,
Messrs. Blair & Rives, as an enduring monument
to the memory of the great man whose name it
will bear The committee of arrangements believe
that the democracy of this District could not in
more appropriate manner celebrate the Goth ami
yersary Of American independence than in the
mony Of dedicating this institution-from whose
halls they fondly anticipate that the principles and
precepts Of that great patriot, hero, and statesman,
who now lives to Immortality, will be inculcated
upon generations yet to come. In accordance with
this belief, the committee are making arrangements
to effect the audabe purpose of doing further honor
on the anniversary of our independence, to the
memory of Jackson, who, by his patriotism, wis
dom, and heroic Deeds contributed SO much through
life to perpetuate the blessings secured to us on
that day.

THE CHERoKEEs.

We throw open our columns to the discussion Of
the Cherokee Question. IL is subject with which
we are not acquainted and, therefore, our only Of
fee will be to furnish the field for the tournament
without actively partaking Of the battle. The cham
pion, who takes the field this evening, proesses to
understand the subject" and certainly he ought TO I'm.
derstand twe, from the position which he has occu-
pied, and the experience he has obtained What we
would ask is, that the combatants ON both sides
would discuss the subject with proper moderation
as well as commendable brcyiy. BY this course
only can they command the public attention, and
win their way, as the present writer desires, to the
ear of the President.

GOVERNOR SHANNON AND MEXICO.

We had the pleasure of a most agreeable and in.
terestins interview with Gov. Shannon to-day
We had never seen him before. He gave us
very minute account of the state of parties in
Mexico-the character of Santa Ana, and Of hel
present ru!ersthe tone of the army, and its direction
to the North--and the British influence, which APP
pears to be in the ascendant in her public councils
lie is of opinion that the largest proportion of hei
people are in favor of federatve system. The au-
thentic accounts which we have on paper from an
other quarter and which we lay before our readers
incline to the opinion that the spirit of Mexico is
less military than has been supposed; and that, u,
all events, she will take no decided measure towards
the United States, until the election of new Presi-
dent has been made in August. Governor Shan
non is inclined to believe that, unprcpared as Mex
leo is for war-destitute, indeed, of almost all re-
sources for carrying it on, upon her own hook
and willing as her present rulers may be to decline
hosties yet that the excited spirit of the army
and of her people may compel the government to de-
clare war against the United States. England may
|prevent it. But will she? Mexico cannot do us
much serious injury, without the indirect and under
banded cooperation Of England. But will she lend
|if viii she consent TO plunge Mexico into war,
|the flames of which may extend to herself and which
must place in our hands the territory of California

|gering looks'n

citizen of Washington, who is by no means
extravagant in his Imagination, reports the cell
sbration as one Of the most magnificent scenes
he ever beheld. The streets teemng with the
thronging multitudes-estimated by some at from
100000. to l30,000-the whole area, of five acres,
around the Washington Monument, appearing as
one sea of heads. The procession extended from
two to three miles-the most brilliant paraphernalia
of military and civic display shrouded in the habili-
ments of mourning-all party distinctions extin-
yushed-some of the houses of the most distinguish
ed wings covered, as it were, with Grape and black
cloth. He returned last night to Washington, with
sentiments of the deepest respect for the people, the
