LArEsr.-We learn that the Protestant Episcopal
Convention which has been in session for several days
past in Philadelphia, before their adjournment yes
teiday afternoon nominated and elected as bishop,
in place of the Rev. Fl. u. Onderdonk, for the do
cese of Pennsylvania, the Rev, Alonzo Potter, of
Schenectady, New York. The clergy in conven-
ton, on Thursday afternoon, nominated the Rev.
DIR. Bowman, Of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, bish-
op; but the laiy (who have the power of approving
or disappearing the nomination Of the clergy reject
ed it by majority of eighteen In the evening, Dr.
Tying, who had Withdrawn from the canvass in the
morning, was placed in nomination again before the
clergy. DR.. Bowman was also re-nomnated An
Intellectual effort was then made to make nominal
tom neither having received majority ofthe votes
in convention. Considerable difficulty now ensued,
and much excited debate; and the matter ended for
the evening in the appointment OF committee of
conference, who were to report new candidates. On
the morning Of Friday, the committee Of conference
reported the name Of the Rev. Aonzo Potter as the
compromise candidate for bishop. The clergy then
proceeded to take VOTE when DR.. Potter received
forty votes, being a majority of the whole. The
nomination then referred to the aity, and unani-
mously confirmed. The new bishop has the repu-
tation of being man of great ability and eloquence.

England, incolors Of the deepest dye. We would

Of this cordial admonton to sister republic on the
same common continent we ourselves nhabit, we are
conscious of higher motives and nobler guide than
any which the ascendency of an older sister could
dictate, or the has.y displeasure Of younger one

Providence has graciousy delegated to the people of
this continent the opportunity to decide the great
question whether can be trusted with the gov

should emulate the Others in procuring decision
which may enlarge the liberties Of man, and vindi-

figure in history shall We truly exhibit! We should
then inform all nations Of the earth that we borrow
ed the of republic only to disgrace 1t, and to
render it odious and abominable TO future times

continent Peace--the nurse Of prosperity, and
mother--will hide her repudiaed face, and tell her
sorrows to the winds Freedom, in her mourning
vestmens, must reveal the anguish Of her acerated
heart, whilst she signs the havoc which the
madness of, ambition could inaict the repose Of
the world
But the people of this Union owe it to God and
to their country to this mischief if they can
For ourselves, we shall employ whatever faculties
we possess in stimulating the citizens OF the repub

The cause of the people cannot be defeated while
this great and growing country shall continue to adj

republic shall indeed wander from the sphere in
which she ought to move, we, at least, will move
EDWARDS. We will attemp. to keep alive the spec
tacle of liberty, uncomfortable and sublime. Peace
we desire. Peace we would cheerfully cultivate.
But it must be an honorable peace Let Mexico
but strike the first blow, and we shall then be the
last to decline the contest.

MEXICo.--No. 70.

. :" . u.
In continuation Of the paper from which we are
extracting the French minister thus proceeds: "In
this state Of things his Majesty's government con-
WINGED that the Mexican cabinet has sufficiently sig
n6ed what its dispositions in respect to the de-
mands of France for the reparaton Of wrongs nict-
ed, has ordered the undersigned to present once
more, and for the last time the same demands upon
the Mexican government.
a. The treasury Of the republic shall deliver, prior
to the 18th day Of May next, on board the French
squadron which may then be at Vera Cruz, the sum
Of 5000 000--the disposition Of which sum his Ma
jestys government to ITSELF as well as the
apportionment among those Frenchmen who have
suffered, within the Mexican territory injuries sus-
tanned under the three heads or classes which are
designated.
"This payment being made, the Mexican govern
ment shall be released from all claims by France,
arising prior to the first day ofthe present month OF
March, ~ E
al. The credits which French citizens hold against
the Mexican government, are not comprehended
within the preceding stipulation &C.. and the Mex
lean government soemnly binds itself to interpose
no future difficulties in the way Of the regular and
prompt payment Of these debts. Ut
Gil. General Gregorio Gomez, who ordered in
Tampco the assassination Of the two Frenchmen,
Demovesent and Sausieu, shall be deprived Of his
employment; and there shall be paid, as an indemni-
fcsonto the families of the two victims, the sum Of
twenty thousand dollars. 1a'
sCoonel Pardo, commandant OF Coloria, guilty OF
the attempt to assassinate and severely wounding
M. Giraud Duong, shall be deprived of his Office;
and there shall be paid to this Frenchman, for this
outrage, the sum Of nine thousand six hundred and
sixty dollars.
''Senor Tamayo, judge in Mexico shall be de-
prived Of his Office, for the illegal, iniqutoua, and
atrocious sentence which he perversey gave against
M. Pe,ro Lemone. This Frenchman shall be inn
mediaely set at liberty and shall receive an indem-
MITIGATION of $4,000 for the prolonged and wholly
unjust detention which he has suffered, and the bad
personal treatment which he endured in prison.
There shall be paid an Naturalization Of $4,000 to
the families of the Frenchmen who were assassina-
ted with impunity at Aienzingo.
"Those ndemnfcatons providedin this article are
included in the sum total demanded in the first ar
ticle.
1.-THE undersigned has certainly the rght--and per-
haps il il his duty--to demand the punishment Of a
number of other funciionaries who are designated,
for the offences stated; but, awaiting himself of the
discretion reposed in him by his government, he
confines himself TO the requiring the punishment
exceedingly moderate in its character--of the be-
fore-named individuals, whose barbsrous conduct is
abhorrent to every principle justice Of morality,
and civilization.
