LATER FROM MEXICO.

We have been favored with letter received IN
this city last night, from which we learn that the
United States brig Lawrence arrived at pensacola
on the evening Of the LIST instant in thirteen days
from Vera Cruz, with dispatches for the Secretary
of State from Mr.. Slidell and Commodore Conner
Up to the time of the sailing of the Lawrence
(sbout the 18th umo) Mr.. Slidell had not been re-
ceived by the authorities Of Mexico, and the lette,
saws that ia supposed he will return to the United
States as soon as he receives answers to the de-
spstches which he has now forwarded.
This letter also states that the citizens OF Nera
Cruz were looking out and hoping for the return Of
Santa Ana from Havana whose arrival was Tex
r,cc,ed To he the signal for the authorities Of Vea
Cruz to declare in his favor.
No other news had transpired, The dispatches
for the Secretary Of State are said to be very Vo
luminous.

FROM AFRICA.
Capture Of the barque Paris, Of Philadelphia, on the
coast Of africa, ,oith nine hundred slapes.


Capture Of the barque Paris, Of PHILADELPHIA, on the
coast Of .9fica, ,oih nine hundred slapes.
We are informed that circular has been received
from the Methodist mission press at Liberia,
stating that the evening of the l4th Of December
arrived at Monrovia the slave-shp Pasis, of Phil
adelphia, captured few days before by Captain
Bell, of the United States sloop-of-war Yorktown,
off Cabanda, with nine hundred slapes on board;
which number was reduced during the fourteen
days Of her passage to that port to sepen hundred
and ftfy-sir. All these miserable people were land
ed as soon as possible under the direction Of DR..
Lugenbeel, agent of the United States for recap
trred Africans, some Of them in well-nigh dying
state and the best provision possible made for their
relief and comfort. A special meeting of the mis-
sionaries and members Of the Methodist conference
was Immediately held, subscription raised fol
these unfortunate Africans, and the superintendent
requested to take one hundred of the children and
youth under his care. Most of these rccaptured
slaves are between the ages of and 30, large
proportion between and ID; and OF the whole
number are but Al girls. -.
The description Of this slave ship, and Of the hor.
rors of the condition Of the miserable beings crowd
ed almost to suffocaton beneath her matches, as
given by DR.. Lugenbeel and the missionaries, j,
dark and shocking as can be imagined Ninetecr
died the first day after capture.
The mission appeals with great earnestness TO
aid in it's benevolent work. Under the act Of Con
gross, Of 1919, we presume the government will
extend immediate aid to these unfortunate Africans
which, in the execution of its own laws, have bee,
brought within the humane and Christian colon,
of Liberia. To that colony, in its feebeness, tn
support Of such number Of helpless halfstarve'
people, thrown suddenly and unexpectedly upon it
would prove a burden difficult to be borne.
U5-We receive the above interesting intelligence
from the coast of Africa Just we were going t
press. 1t will harrow up the feelings of every on
who reads it, We expect to lay before our reader
tomorrow evening the official account received q

few Jesuit missions in California established a hun
dred and fifty years after the claim had been made,
and enforced. The claim to Oregon was founded in
its contiguity, not to California, but to New Spain
and New Mexico. The right asserted, was, as we
remarked before, the same by which Russia claims
and holds Siberia--BrazH the vast and almost UNI
peopled Mesopotamia, that intervenes between the
La Plata and the Amazon--Grcat Britain, and after
her. the United States the valley Of the Mississippi
The last of these instances is perfectly in point to
the present purpose and sustains the original Span

should fail to perceive its applicationor if she dc
perceive it, should consent, by resisting it, to stamp
one of the brightest pages in her own political his,

It may be interesting and instructive to dwell for

Tragedy IN Paris. mutual pas
sion had been formed between a young
clerk of Paris and a married lady re-
siding near st. Germans. The clerk
few mornings back paid visit to the
lady, and Informed her that he was
about to travel, but was resolved not TO
go without her; and, on her directing
10 elope with him, declared, that il, by
five o'clock in the afternoon he did not
receive from her promise TO accom-
pany him, he would come again to the
house, and, if certain signals were not
answered, he would ring the bell. II
this should bring her husband TO the
door. the clerk assured her that he
would first shoot him aud then destroy
himself. Madam b., though under the
greatest agony during the day, remain
ed firm TO her resolution. The appoin.
ted hour arrived, the signals were made,
and, being answered, the bell was rung
with grea, violence. The husband rose
TO go TO the door, his wife threw her
self at his feet, and entreated him not
10 stir; but he broke away from her,
and had his hand on the lock, when
the report OF pistol was heard. On
opening the door, he stumbled over the
dead body of the clerk. the head of
which, split by the contents of the pis-
toll. was lying upon the step. On see
ing this horrid spectacle. Madam d.
who had followed her husband to the
door, fell dead at his feet.

The suspicion that the two Mex-
can war steamers, were transferred as
mere rusc, to enable them to repair to
a neutral port, where they could be
fitted out for privateering service,
seems to gather force. The Picayune
thinks recent events justify these opin-
ions, and that there are reasons for
thinking that, when they next appear
upon the Gulfthey will be ugly custom
ers for unarmcd merchantmen. 1t is
said that Almote declared, long before
Mexican and American affairs got
desperate, that, in case war should
break out between the two countries,
Havana would be the port from which
Mexican letters of marque would sail.
Almote is now in Havana. He left
Mexico to 90 as Minister to France, but
changed his destination when he
reached Havana. The reason for
this abrupt termination of his mission
is varously given. The impression
was that his attachment to the cause OF
Santa Ana induced him to remain
near the person Of his chief. The
cause assigned by those who know him
best, was that the former Minister 10
France (Mr. Garro) had recently died,
and he required other instructions up
on the happening of so untoward an
event. To most people it would seem
that Garro's death should hasten him
in his journey, as it left his Govern
ment without representative in one
the principal courts of Europe.
Almote, nevertheless, is still in Gu
ba, and il is not violent presumption
to imagine his business there to be that
ofissuing letters of marque and getting
privateers ready Tor sea. The eircum-
stances OF the case are suspicious, and
the Pieayunc thinks it would only be
a wise precaution in our fleet TO seize
the two war steamers reported to have
been sold, wherever they may be
found
The Picayunc also urges that suhi-
cicnt fleet, also, ought to be at hsnd 10
reprcss piratical expeditions against
ouT IOIlillClCts eHOuiu titCf ut ulluSt-
taken by other than Mexican bottoms.
The business of prvatecring is at best
equivocal. Ii is allowed between bel
ligcrents by the old writers upon inter
national lew, on the ground that any
person, citizen of government at
war with another, has right to do as
much injury TO that other as possible, as
j. is in effect doing his own country
good by cripnling its enemy. But
this principle Of the law should not be
stretched TO cover every amateur pirate
who takes il into his head to rove the
seas under a commission from foreign
Government There is no feeling Of
patriotism TO consecratc his robbery.
Itisas cold-blooded villainyin him tode-
predate on our commerce under Mex
lean permit as il would be to rob under
a commission from the viceroy of the
Isle of Pines. An Englishman, a
Frenchman or Spaniard, found under
Mexican letter of marque, is as much
pirate in morals ms though he sailed
under black flag blazoned with
|" deaths head and bones"

will be prosecuted with vigor, and 10
speedy and successful termination
The Hero OF Lundy's Lane and Chip
pewa, is to be despatched TO the COM
mand OF our army at the immediate
seat Of hostilities. The present ext
Igency demands determined bravery
and the utmost experience, and these
qualities are to be found in their full
est perfection in the person Of General
Scott.
As successful in war as he has been
as a paciicator; prudent in council and
vigorous in action; perfectly conversant
with our national rights and the laws
which regulate civilized warfare; pos
sessing all that confidence of the A.
merican people, which ever encirc!es a
successful general; the very announce
ment that he will, in short time, be at
the head Of our army in person, on
the Rio Grande, will operate as a
herald of victory.
The news Of this determination will
allay excitement, quiet panic and re-
move the apprehension of the timid.
1t gives an assurance that hostilities
will be prosecuted no further than is
necessary TO preserve the rights and
maintain the honor Of the country,
and that while the commander acts
like a gallant soldier, he will bear in
mind his duties as christian. and close
the contest as speedy as possible.
With commander like Gen. Scott,
and with such associates as Gen. Tay-
lor, Col. Twiggs, &C., we may conf
IDENTIFY anticipate termination Of the
war, which will be equally honorable
to our arms, and grateful to the
cause of humanity.--North American.
