AN lNDEFENsIBLE TITLE. --During the
debate on the New leland question, last
week, Lord Howick said that witness ex-
amined before the committee stated Incl
dentally, that he knew a chief in New Ze-
land who maintained that he had a great H.
tie 10 his land. inasmuch as he had eaten
the former owner. This. to our European
ears, seems rather barbarous title, but we
do know that it is,in reality, one viii! more
so than that by which The descendants OF
Of The Norman ;hieves and lreeboolers, who
came over with the conqueror, hold their
lands at the present day They pillaged,
tortured and oppressed our Saxon unces-
tors, sparing neither man in their anger,
nor woman in their last; and we have no
doubt whatever that, had it been though,
accessory for the security of their titles TO
cat their victims, as we'll ns TO plumber and
massacre them, the 'Norman chivalry"
would never have made wry mouth about
the matter.

IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO-YucA-

TAN REvoLuTIoNiZED AND INDEPENDENT.
The counter wave in favor of free gov
eminent, which our Yucatan correspon-
dent predicted a few weeks ago, has been
set in notion. The patriotic and in;elIi-
gent republicans of that ancien. country
are once more in the enjoyment Of an en-
lightened system of selcgovenmeni, for
the faithful administration Of which their
own sialwart frames and virluous lives
are the sures guarantees.
This gratifying intelligence comes 10 US
by The brig Joseph Atkins Captain Higgins,
al ihis port, iwenty-s days from Tobasco,
Mexico
On the 9th of last month, the Yucatanese,
under Gen. Blrneo, took possession OF q
mexican schooner of war, and having pla
ced on board Of her AL the Mexican runc
tionaries and soldiers IN lha, state, ordered
her captain to sail with them Cor Vera
Cruz, whence she departed Immediately.
She had been despatched by the Mexicans
to levy men and money for the rexian
war, but the people Of Yucatan had suffer-
cd too much already from the oppressive
tyranny OF the central governments; an i'm
mediate separation was resolved upon. and
carried out in the manner stated, without
shedding drop of blood. The state gov.
eminent was at once changed to nation
al one, retaining all the republican princi-
pies which have dis inguished the citizens
of that stare.
A letter from the city Of Mexico was re-
ce:ved a, Tobasco on the Eth ult two DAYS
before the Joseph Atkins sailed, announ
cling The departure Of six thousand troops
for the Texan frontier. The government
of Tabasco had not changed since the last
advices; but that, land some oe the udioin.
ing states, will probably rally around the
standard Of Yucatan.
