FRENCH PoLTcE.-The Paris correspondent of the
Boston Atlas tells the following anecdote:
The French Police is very inefficient except for
political purposes, then 1t is unrivaled, and go IN
what circle If society may, he never can be cer-
tain that any expressions he may drop against the
powers that are, will not be duly communicated and
registered against him at the 9uai de Jerassem. One
Of the most popular saloons of the faubourg st. Ger
main, is that Of Madame Deamarque; it is sort of
neutral where of all parties meet and converse
freely the prominent topics of the day. Colonel
Rattn, of those worthless who gained their enau
lets in the Spanish Legion, recently obtained the
etree but his first appearance the busy tongue of
scandal whispered that he was a Mouchard, or to
speak more plainly police spy. The hostess per-
ceiyed the sensation created by her new guest, and
was indignant when she learned the cause. He

perfect explanation - and forthwith gave him an
invitation to follow her her 5oudoir where she
once broacEed the matter. Colonel, do not wish
to offend you, nor know how to express myself but
these people say you are sent here by-the-" go

me, Madame, to ascertain II you earn the fifteen
thousand francs which the police pay you for spying
your guests" "Ah you know It 7" "Pshaw,
Madame, is it not my business! Madame Della

utes afterwards, leading by the hand the Colonel upon

OEFSome of the New York papers censorious
about Indiana reputation" though Indiana had,
meant to repudiate dollar of her debt While the
PiOus and Just editors complain so loudly of this State,
couldn't they inst Jog the memory of the Morris Ca
nal Company, besides dozen other scoundrels, who
have four millions of Bonds, for which never
got cent Those Eastern rascals should not be al
lowed to go unwhpt, while the lash is numerically
applied to Indiana. Indeed, some of them seemed to
think, from 1886 to lS40 that Broken Banks, broken
fortunes, and broken character could be mended by
dealing in Indiana Bonds for which they never expect
ed pay dolar-and they have kept their faith most
nobIy The money lost by these Northern brokers and
bankers would pay the interest debt nine years,
and stop the reproaches heaped upon State At all
events the People of Indiana will be driven into
of payment but they will, promed BY their
own Of justice, Immediately prep to meet the
State liabilities. There is growing anxiety to urge
this in the Legislature and it viii only be
tarded by promptiggS such as are common with the

POLITICAL ABsoRYrIoN.--What is the reason that
the nobest Of professions that of the surgeon phys
clan, is so little sgnalized by the mention Of the names
and achievements of its professors! How politicians
gorged with the praise and fame which should be
diffused among scientific men! We talk of certain
men identified with the history of country, and they
alone figure in its written annals. Chatham, Burke,
Fox, Washington, Madison, Jackson, these are the
names that put into the pages of Histories, such
as Hume's, Smollett's and our American annals But
with one exception there greater POLITICAL names
in England and America than these. Arkwright and
Fulton had higher influences in their political desti-
nics Perhaps 10 these might be added the name Of
Inner. OF all men of the last century in England,
Arkwrigbt was tie chief political character and oi

England could not have maintained her position

Benton versus Brown.

Benton's measure for Annexation is both more " i'm
mediate in time-morc sure in certainty of consum-
maton-more Wise in fitness to unite party-more
calculated to be acceptable Mr. Polk in point of con-

Later from Mexico.

The brig R. de Zado, Capt Kingsbury, arrived this
morning from Vera Cruz, which place she left the
18th ult.
We learn from Capt K that Gen. Santa Anna had
made five different attacks upon the city of Pueba,
and had been repulsed each time, with some loss. AT
length, despairng Of success at that point, he with
drew. with all his forces about 4G00 An express
arrived at Vera Cruz from Jalapa just before the Z.
sailed, stating that Santa Anna beseiging Peroe,
to which place 1t appears that he retired after leaving
Puebla. Generals Erayo and Peredes, the chiefs of
the Revolutionary party, (Which welds the civil
Powers,) were still at Puebla the 18th ult.. with
about 10000 men. 1t was supposed they would sooi:
march in pursuit of Santa Anna. Even should he be
taken prisoner it thought at Vera Cruz that his
enormous wealth, Che having it Is said, more than
Sl2 00O, 600 in Engand would avail TO purchase his
life and the lives of his officers although his
duct at Puebla represented to have been exceedingly
brutal, and to have raised the popular Indignation
against him TO the highest pitch.
The people of Vera Cruz expecting a visit
from Santa Anna soon, either with beseiging army
or fugitive He would, however. be obi ged to
pass through de6e (about ID miles from Jalapa)
which well fortified ard commanded by Gen. Jose
Rincon. At Vera Cruz there were also fortifcatons
which, although incomplete, supposed to be suf-
hclent to prevent his capturing the town.
Information brought by the express from Jalapa,
mentioned above, excited apprehensions at Vera Cruz
that intrigue going on, TO save him and his
officers, and that fresh outbreak and much blood
shed would be the consequence.
TIE officers commanding at Vera Cruz, were Gen.
erals Moza and Hernandez; the Castle is under the
command Of Gen. Jaan Lotto, q sterling man, and an
inyeterate enemy of Santa Anna.
1t was deemed probable that Santa Anna would soon
find his fortunes desperate, and escape board an
English gate stationed at Sacrifceos with orders,
1t said, to receive HIN and protect his person..
Another report was, that Santa AEna had sent in
his submission TO the new Government and had placed
himself and his troops at their disposal.
The brig passed, she was coming out Of the har
Dor of Vera Cruz the Mexican steam frigate Monte
yuma, going in with troops from Campeachy.-N y.
