he said he looked tor gocd deliverancr Tor

: Mr.. Fisher followed on the same side,
and the court adjourned until Saturday

Mr.. Kane, Attorney General, addressed The
court or an hour and half in a speech of
much ingenuity. Judge Eldred then adj
iourned the court Tor one hour, when he de-
livered the ch rye to the jury; and after
reviewing tn testimony, instructed them,
that, il they believed the testimony OF Piol-
let, which was corrobOrlted 10y Galloway,
they must render a verdict Of guilty against
the defendant.
In his charge he remarked that, as to the
law, there was no case, so far as the court
had teen Informed, where a member OF
Parliament in England, or a member Of
State Legislature in this country hal been
Indicted for bribery at common law.
In Elackstone's Commentaries, the Of |
fence of bribery is defined to he "where a |
judge or other person connected with the
administration Of Justice takes an undue re-
ward to influence his behavior in office"
It al been decided in England before
our revuluton that the offence OF bribery
can be committed By any person in an eG-
ciat situation, Dho wW corruptiy use the
poroer or interest IF his place for rswards or

Legislature sometimes "relates to the adj

lnarily so.
The offence charged, is one highly niu-
rious TO public morals, and strikes at the
DOT Of our government. The community

IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.

BY the U. S. ship ST. Mary's, which arrived
at Pensacola on the I'd inst, in ten days from
Vera Cruz, we learn (through the Pensacola
Gazette) Of the refusal of the Mexican govern
ment to receive Mr.. Sldell as Minister from the
United States. MIR. S., however, has not return
ed in the St. Mary's, nor does The Gazette vouch
tor the correctness of the news; but says that it
is disposed to credit it ON account of our crit
ical relations with Great Britain, circumstance
of which Mexico would not hesitate to take ad :
Vantage"
On the other hand, the Pensacola Democrat.
which says that Mr.. Slidell "was not we'll re-
ceired," ascrbes the conduct of the Mexican
Government TO the impending revolutions by
which it is embarrassed
The Mobile Herald of the 7ih inst received
last night, states that nothing further had been
received there from Pensacola, and that further
accounts were looked for with great interest.

GIVING NOTICE TO GREAT BRITAIN
PREPARE FOR THE WORST

When John Quincy Adams seized an inoppor
tune and trlfilng question to launch his ouixotic
bark, fraII, rcketty and unseaworlhy as it was, on
the ocean of popularity to catch the OREGON gale.
which was to wait him TO "glory," we believe we
were the only press that limited doubt of the
genuineness of his patriotism, and even that
doubt was smothered by the perfect applause that
burst from the public press on every side. We
know the man of old, and in all sincerity, we do
not believe that ever patriotic pulse throbbed in
his bosom. We hailed and copied with plea
sure, the judicious structures which appeared in
the Baltimore Sun. that deprecated the inordinate
praise bestowed upon old Adams, and forgot the
steady, persevering patriotism Of host of men,
who have long and ardenhy struggled to make our
flag compass the whole of our territory proper,
regardless of the threats, rdicule and denuncia-
tons Of Mr. Adams and his party through long
series of years.
A word from the 3" old man eloquent. :" az he il
ridicuously called, is caught by his friends. and
pulled as the wisdom Of the DeIphie oracle. and
too often our own party, stand with mouths wide
open, gaping with stupid wonder at his marvel
lous sayings. Why his speech on claiming the
whole Of Oregon was so much admired, we can
not say. It is we'll known, that it was his desir,
TO settle that question while he was President al
the 49th parallel of latitude, and that being IN
able to do it, the famed treaty Of " joint occupa
ton, )" was renewed during HE Administration in
