CruIanO Of the 10Th ullImo, by the cOnEu of thr
King Prussia. 10 II, all the subjects OF said kug,
and of other German princes HppertaInIng 10 tho
said eonsulship, are called upon 10 present thGm-
selves and obtain "leers Of security for the year
now commencIng-oT TO renew their letters of the
,sI year. Some idea may be formed of the lusC-
curily Of foreigners in Mexico, when they nrc
Obliged, for their personal safety, TO resort 10 the
name and influence of European powers for protec-
ton. Without similar papers as the above, a for
egner in Mexico is liable to all manner of ill-treat
and plumber, and even his life is MT sne. The
principle which, IN great measure, has reduced Mex
leo to this degraded position, is principle ope
rating in some minds among us-it is the principle
of native Americanism. On this principle, The
Mexcans expelled all the old citizens from EuroTr
-,lrove out oil foreigners-and left behind pcopla
who now become the jeer Of civilization and the
contempt of nations.

Arista might make certain Communications to tho
government, upon the movement Of the troops OF
tie United States upon Matnmoras.
Extracts from the papers Of Mnthmoras pub
hshed in the Vera Crusano speak of ncursions Of
the American troops, Of detachmens of pearics of
40 so soldiers, accommodating and spying out the
land.
The position and movements Of the United

States troops are about 10 march upon Matarnoras,
to seize upon that place, and thence, perhaps to
march TO capture some other Of their cities Ever
since our little army has been encamped at Corpus
Christi, every movement has been watchcj; and if
few soldiers ride out to any distance in the coun-
try, the rumor Immediately is carried TO Mexico
that the American troops are marching upon Maa-
moras, &c.
The official register of the department of Durango
publishes a terrible account OF the bold and daring
incursons of the Indians or barbarans, as they are
styled. This account is copied into the Monitor
Constitutional, Of Mexico, and states that the city
of St. Juan del Rio, of the department of Durango,
was attack ed by horde of Indians, in number $50
The inhabitants went out TO attack them, the
counts state, without arms and without discipline,
and after long and severe fight the inhabitants were
repulsed. and the town taken by the barbarians
Sxty-eight of the citizens left dead on the field
| Of battle, and more than fifty we're severely wound
ed. Meantime, the government is actively engaged
in sending out troops TO put an end to the "barba-
rian war" if possible This intelligence shows the
deplorabe situation to which Mexico has arrived
when the Indians all sides warning against
them, and capturing even considerable cities.

to come from him. The Mexican papers, however,
take up his defence with great warmth; assert HIM
/, be incapable of such treason, and abuse the
Madrid editor with great fury for inventlng, as they
saw such a scandaIou scharge against Santa Ana.
