a snecr uttered by Mr.. Leopold Bierweith,
a German unnaturalized foreigner. in his
letter to Mr.. Calhoun, Secretary of State,
enquirng into the authenticity Of the pub

pccted that the letter was of 'Rafire origin.
and therefore, he Judged, there could be no
truth in it. In Mr.. Bierweth's estimation,
whatever il Of .'nafirc origin" must be dis
credited, or nj least require extra confirma-
ton. Mr.. Calhoun should have treated a
letter coming from foreigner, containing
such a snecr and imputation, applied 10 any
portion Of his countrymcn, with infigna-
ton, or with contempt. He either should MT

MEXICAN NEws.-The barqIe Engenia
Capt. BIscoe, arrived in New \ ork On he
morning Of the 3lst ult., from Vera Cruz:
the Hon. Mr.. Gushing being passenger
on board. The Eugcnia sailed from Vera
Cruz on the 18th ult-, as we had before an
nouncei, our adrices being one day later
than those received in New York. The
papers of the latter city are crowded with
news of the revolution now in progress in
Mexico. Mr.. Gushing was 20 considcratc

sage of is days, in ting out a succinct
account of the course of the revolution
with some notes upon the prior history of
Mexican affairs to make these Ineligible
to those not conycrsant with the subject.
Ihis account he gave to the press imme
diatcly upon his arrival. Ii is written with
great simplicity and disfincfness, but we
lind no event mentioned in il which has
been overlooked here. Mr.. Gushing evi.
IDENTITY believes the days of Santa Anna's
power to be numbered. A horde Of letter
writers fom different cities Of Mexico. whose
productions find place in the New York M.
pers, have arrived at conclusions as TO the
Pcrmanency Of Santa Annals power, differ.
ent from those formed BY Mr.. Cushing.
They believe the tyrant viii yet succeed.
we adhere firmly to our previously express
ed opinions, and are glad TO find them con-
iirmod by the weight Of Mr.. Cushing's au-
thority.
The advices of Mr.. Gushing likewise
throw discredit upon the report received
here Of the defeat of Santa Anna at Puebla.
Mr.. q. appears to think that his only chance
TO save himself, however. from the difficult
ties in which he is involved, is by forced
march upon Tampico, SO as to escape into
the United States, or flight to South Amer

allusion to our late Presidential election, The

A CONSPIRACY TO CREATE An lNstR-

AZ an examination at the Police office I'D
New York, some very singular disclosures
were made respecting an insurrection whic"
was contemplated in Princess Anne county,
Virginia, among the slaves. Ihe Partlcu-
lars, as given in the New York sun, are as
follows:
A co!ored man, named George ID. Morse,
of No. 2il Houston street, who lives py
working in stores in the lower part of me
city, having received information, as he
states. that an insurrection OF the colored
nopulation was to be carried into effect,
about Christmas and New Year, to murder
indiscriminately the white men, women ana
children of Princess Anne county, Va, m

people who would not Join them-and hav-

been the correspondent Of this city OF the
colored conspira'ors of Princess Anne ano
had encouraged the proceeding. had gone
on to Virginia. 70 aid in maturing thc pio'
and to carry il into execution, who wa:
thereupon arrested and lodged in prison
where he will remain, and until the matter
can be fully investigated, will continue Y
custody. Others had been arrested but haf
been discharged. The .colorcd people
here, who were neighbors and acqualn'
, ances of Morse, having heard Of his havint
given information to the authorities ct tht

Hodges, swore to be revenged upon hin

: swore that he should not come down tow
to his work, and if he did, that he shoul'

Under these threats, Morse, who is an in
telligent colorcd man, went TO the oPPe
Police Office and preferred his complain

As this is an age of retrenchmcn', econ-

will not send special Judge at a cost to
the State of S1On. The special Judge
system is bad one at best, and we long TO
see the day when it will be abolished. In
the last fifteen months our State has paid

have been much better TO have given this
sum TO the regular Judges, and then they
would have interchangcd circuits and there
