the News.of the 24'h.
The steamship John McKim arrived al
Galveston Oh the Odd insl., and was to
sail for This place on the 26lh.
BY The News we learn that the Caron-
kawas have been committing depredarions
in Victoria county. They recently mur-
dered Capt John R. Kemper, a much res
peeled citizen, and afterwards burnt his
house down. His wife, children and
morher.iu-law escaped 10 lhe woods and
got Of. These Caronkawas are The rem
naut uf a tribe that have long infested
Southern Texas, as they would have long
since been punished and driven oil but
from motives of humanity.
The La Grange InteHigencer gives the
account of an engagement, with party Of
Lipan Indians by The citizens of Seguln.
Two Of The Indians were killed. They
had stolen some property the night before
which was oil relaken.--Picayune.
AFFAIRS OF Mexico
A further perusal ofour files Of Mexican
papers, received on Saturday last, gives
US little to add TO our intelligence of Sun
day-in fact we do ncI discover an item OF
importance omitted. A few words, how
ever. in relation 10 the course pursued by
the Congress in bringing about the revo-
luton.
The formal protest of the Senate Of
Mexico against the tyranny of Santa An
na is document written with dignity and
| perfect calmness. We have before stated
,ha, it was signed by every Senator save
four. The proles, contains six distinct
grounds Of opposition 10 the dictator aud
in favor of chanse Of rule First, that
Santa Anna had manifested, most une-
qrivocally, a design Of suppressing the
ralinnaI representation and the organic
bases to which The nation had sworn.
Second, that he designed to estahlih 90
| vernment Of arbitrary rule: Third, that
lie had adopted despolc measures against
the civil authorities of the Department Of
Qmerctaro: Fourth, that he had been iIe-
gaily inveslsd with military authority -
Fifth thai he had decreed against the
lawful assembling of the Senate: Lastly
the Senators protest against every act Of
executive power which may attack or tend
10 attack, the rights, guarantees and hher-
lies OF Nicxicans. The names Of thirty of
the Senators are signed TO this document.
The protest Of the Chamber Of Depu.
ties is in somewhat different fnrm, but
conceived in nearly the same spirit. Both
houses are resolute in their expressed lie
termination to resist any military Or other
arbitrary rule.
The eJidor Of FL Sigio Die= y Nueve-
always calm Iignified and liberal jour
nal. and which has suffered much from the
prosecutions of The lyrant; Describes in"
re-enlry of lhe Chamber of Deputies nlo
their own assembly room from the Con
vent of San Francisco as Of The most en-.
rhusiasric description. The members were
preceded by an immense cOncourse of all
classes, who cheeIcd vociferously and ap
peared half frantic withjoy at lheirrelease
from tyranny and misrule. Multi'udrs Of
lhe young men of the higher orders had
iaken up arms, determined to resist any
acts by which the Dictator or his friends
may strive 10 regain their power and as
cendancy.
Now that the Constitutional Govern
ment once more has the reigus of power in
its hands, we trust rha, liberal spirit may
preside in its counsels and tba, all proper
clemency may be shown. We sincerely
hope that Jose Antonio Navarro. one of
the Commissioners of the i'll faled Santa
Fe expedition may be set at liberty. He
is now advanced in life, and a cripple, and
for three years has been immured within
| the walls of the ioathsome Acordadr, or
else in the Castle of San Juan de Ulua
and all TO crafty The personal spite Of San
ia Anna He was always liberalst, and
TO release him would be an act which
would rebound greatly TO the credit of the
new rulers Of Mexico.
One effect of the downfall of Santa An
na will be TO restore to the Republic many
Of her most gifted and liberal sons-,nen
who have been prescribed by The Dictator
from The fear that their incorrupiibie hon
esty would prevent the numerous vile
speculalions in which.he has oeen engaged.
as well as Obstruct him, in the attainment
ofthat supreme power his ambition has so
long coveted. We might mention, among
other names, that of Gomez Farias who
has for some lime resided in this city; aud
scattered over The world in addition to The
thousands of honest, talented and deser.
wing men within the confines of Mexico
who have been kept i'll the back ground.
there are many others whose influence
aud whose counsels would go far towards
giving sound, healthy and liberal
tone to The future government of the Re-
pubIic.-Ibid.
