The rumors which were received day or two
since, Of another revolution in Mexico, were some
what confirmed by the intelligence which reached
Us yesterday, and which we give in full in this day
paper. There is still doubt hanging over the mat
ter, and Arlsta may be quietly resting at Monterey,
in the interior, instead of getting off pronume1a-
msnto for breakfast. In case, however, that should
produce revelation, our chances for peaceabe
settlement of our difficulties with Mexico would be
considerably increased. But according TO the ac-
counts which came yesterday, Mr. Slidell renamed
in Mexico, and hopes were entertained that he
WOULD ultimately succeed, even with Paroles IN
power. 1t is difficult to tell, however, for the d.
plomacy and policy Of Mexico is of very extraor-
binary kind

commend our patrons TO read the speech OF Mr.
Adams, on the Oregon question, published in our

Adams asserts claim, up to 81 49, to be clear and
bases his assertion on Scripural authority This is
altogether novel view OF the question to us, as we
believe il is to our readers. We are very glad OF il,
however, for if we have Scripture authority for
claiming the whole of Oregon, we don't see how
England, ranking, as she does, first among Chris
uan nations, can any longer dispute our claim In
aeed' ner further perssting in asserting her claims
TO any portion Of that territory, would be contra
ry not only to her character as a Christian ma
tion, but in contradiction OF her praisewortbv and
humane endeavors 10 propagate CHRISTIANITY
throughout the world, particularly in India and
China. We now suppose that hencefortb ouY
claim to Oregon Will really be clear and unoues.

The New York PrLoTs AND THE WALL STREET
PRKss.-We perceive that the pilots have recently
presented petition TO the Legislature of this State
signed by sixtyfour OF their number, praying for
the passage OF resolutions urging on Congress the
propriety of amending the pilot laws. The petition
was read, and referred TO select committee. We
hope that the Legislature will give the case of these
hard working men an attentive hearing, and take
such measures as they think will have a favorable
influence on the Congress OF the United States,
who have the pilot laws now under conside ration.
The persecution which the enterprlsng and indie
fatgable pilots OF this port have endured from the
Wall street press has attracted the attention of the
newspaper press throughout the country. We have
already published extracts from several newspapers
which have corroborated the statements which we
have made, from time to time, of the venaty and
mahgnity of their assailants. We publish further
extracts this days paper and refer our readers TO
them.
1t will be perceived that the sherprsing character
ofthe pilots is indicated, even in the West where
indeed,we might expect candid and an unprejudic-
ed expression OF the vlanous warfare on these en-
terprislng men, by a Clique of stockholders and
SPECTATORS, backed by an imbece press. We have
no doubt that the pilots will have that Justice done
TO them which is their due.
