/ .FRoM Mexico. The Madisonian OF Tues
day evening --''Intelligence has reached
this city from an authentic source, that the army
of Santa Anna has deserted him, and that he
has been by formal decree Of Congress, ban
ished from Mexico. This intelligence was
brought by the schooner Ventura, which reach
ed New-Orleans on the 2Sth ult., foureen.days
from Vera Cruz"
The Ventura sailed from Vera Cruz on the
9Th ult., one day after the sailing of the Eu-
eenia, in which Mr.. Gushing took passage
Her accounts are therefore but little later
The New Orleans papers Of the goth and Soth
ult., while they contain voluminous extracts
from Mexican letters and papers, do not con-
tain much which was given by Mr.. Gushing in
succinct account of the state of affairs in that
distracted country. The New-Oreans Bee,
speaking of the revolution, says, "Nearly all
Mexico had joined in the movement. The adj
ministration was displaced, and Santa Anna
hurled from power and transformed from die
tator to skulking fugitive" The Bee closes
as follows -
We have seen several letters from various
parts of Mexico, all OF which speak in glowing
terms Of the pacific accomplishments OF the rev.
olution, and of the beneficial results which are
likely to flow from the establishment Of a firm,
vigorous and above all, honest government, in
lieu of the military despotism and grinding ex-
actions, which under the dictatorship of Santa
Anna, crushed the people for The last few years.
The escape Of Santa Anna is highly problem
atical. At the last advices he was at Quere-
taro with abont $500 men. His troops were
daily thinned by assertions. There is every
probability that he will be ultimately left alone,
and that he may be SO hemmed in by his enc
mics as to leave him no chance OF quitting The
country. Should he succeed in escaping, he
will proceed, as we are informed, to Cuba, where
with his princely revenues he can still live in
10 his accustomed splendor His private fortune
is estimated at some four millions Of dollars
For the last twenty-three years, Santa Anna
has with very brief intervals welded the desti-
nies of Mexico.-Boston Courier.

WASHINGTON ARRANGEMENTS.

Col Polk brings his own editor to Washing
ton-Mr J. G. Harris, of the Nashville Union.
Col A. o. p. Nicholson late a U. s. Senator
pro TEN, and protege OF Polk, is TO succeed
Mr. Harris in the conduct of the Union. Blair
OF the Globe is TO be offered foreign mission,
or something equally nice the Madisonian is
TO be brought up, and, If practicable, the three
Loco Foco papers now published at Washing
ton, are TO be rolled into one,' which will reg
ularly play the genteelest Of tunes, from notes
furnished at the White House, having all the
patronage Of the Executive and Congress to
sustain it. This is good plan, if il can be
carried into practice.
We observe in the Madisonian that Mr. John
Tyler and his interesting little party, are troub-
led with fears that Mr. Polk is not aware Of the
extent of his obligation to them for his Presi-
Dental luck. They are determined, however,
to illumine his darkness on this point, and to
awaken his sluggish gratitude, and secure their
pay. They mean to keep what Offices they
now have, and get some more ifpossble. We
see that Mr. Tyler himself has hankerng az
ter seat in the U. S. Senate. He has an ex-
cellent chance, as there is Tyler party of one
in the Virginia Legislature, and il is probable
that the vote of that one will make the Sena-
tor. With his usual luck, Mr Tyler cannot
fail to be elected.-N. " Tribune.

We understand that the exceptions Of Mr..
Dickinson to the decision of the Court of Com
men Pleas, granting the prayer OF the N.& S.
Railroad company to cross the Connecticut at
Wimanset instead of Hockanum are not al
lowed. This, however, does not prevent the
case from being brought before The Supreme
Court And we understand that there will be
no delay in making application TO the Supreme
Court, to review the whole proceedings OF the
Court Of Com. Pleas in this case, and that the
decision Of the matter will be obtained at as ear

We have prepared an article in relation 10

prevents its insertion. We trust the appica-
ton for a charter on this side of the Connecti-
cut, from Hockanum TO Miller's river, will be
successful. We know OF no intention on the
west side. II the VT. and Mass. railroad is
built where lis friends have desired it should
be, and where il is undoubtedly for their inter-
est to construct it, it can be united with the N.

not greater than the two roads can be united
any where else without an additional bridge
over the Connecticut. And while ii must nee
essarily take the business which comes down

OUR NEW MINISTER TO GREAT BRITAIN

-t I 4 y r Il
Il is announced in the government paper Of Mon
day night that the Hon. Lou5 McLANE, the newly
appointed Minister to I.ondo,, will leave the Uni
ted States BY the steam-packtt which sails on the
10th instant as,
The /" Union" further sayb as follows;
One thing we undertake to say, that Mr..
McLANE has accepted The mission to London with
Z "a full and patriotic dissemination to devote his
distinguished abilities to tbe public service, and
that he win not return to he United States until
he has exerted every effort to settle the present
7 differences between thetwo countries. 1t is true
that the main negotiation On Oregon will be kept
on this side Of the Atlantic, and very properly SO
but collateral questions may incidentally arise in
: London in the discussions Of this important ques-
! ton, which may shed no inconsiderable influence
on the final arrangement On all these questions
the presence Of such q minister in London as Mr..
4 McLANE may be deeply and advantageously felt.
Mr.. McLANE is undoubtedly gentleman Of fine
talents, Of high personal character, with much ex-
perence in public affairs and advantag known
in London by his former residence at that Court in
quality Of Minister Of the United States. The Sc.
lection Of him. therefore, for that important trust
in the present juncture, does credit, in our jndg-
ment, to the discernment of the President. This
opinion we should have expressed before, but thai
we did not choose to give the Jacobin Clubs " here
and elsewhere" motive for denouncing him.

now threatening to become so usual, and which are
fast taking from us the barriers Of constitutional
Government and making the temporary will of the

Hampshire, Alabama, and Georgia had to the seats
they occupied in the late House Of Representatives,
every one Of them being elected in contempt Of the
