The "New York Courier" has devoted two arti-
II states that he was concerned the revolution in
Jalisco; that It learns 'by advees from Washington,
through a source fully entitled to confidence, that
similar movement is in progress in Zacatecas" that
"inta steps have been taken in nearly all the de-
partments, for combining together to overthrow the
existing administration" The Courier then gives the
fern Of declaration, which prepared in Havana
by Santa Ana himself and which has been toroarded
by hi, friends 10 every department of Msrieo" But ",he
project has been devised after mature consideration
and will be carried into effect beyond all doubt
with all the ability and energy of the prominent
men who are connected with it. At no distant day.
therefore, we expect to see Santa Ana again at the
head of the Mexican republic; and although he will
regain that position partly by protested hostility
towards the United States, we have too much con-
fdence in his wisdom and foresight not to believe
that he will exert himself to the utmost to end the
existing war. He must know that its continuance
will inevitably prove destructive to his country; that
the Mexican army will be annihilated; the national
treasury drained, and the whole resources of the
country exhausted. Upon his advent to power,
therefore, shall expect propositions Of peace; and
in that event the President stands pledged to do all
in his power to terminate hostilities."
The "New York Courier" does not stop here. 1t
states that it has received Every full details Of the
movements now in progress, of which, we may add,
our government has been cognizant for some weeks
past"
We deem our duty to state, in the most positive
TERMS that our government has sort Of connection
with any scheme of Santa Ana for the revolution of
Mexico, or for any sort Of purpose Some three
months ago some adventurer was in Washington who
wished to obtain their countenance and aid in some
scheme or other connected with Santa Ana. They
declined all sort of connection, cooperation par
ticipation in any effort for the purpose. The gov
eminent of this country declines all such in,rgues
or bargains. They have made war openly in the
face of the world. They mean to prosecute it with
all their vigor. They mean to force Mexico to do
us justice at the point Of the sword This, then, ID
their desgn-this is their plan; and it is worthy of
a bold, high-minded, and energetic people.

CELEBRATION OF THE Arb OF JULY.

There was no general system Of arrangements for
celebrating the anniversary of American independ'
ence in this eity-no public dinner Our citizens
were broken up into several professions, and into
small meetings. The largest public meeting was at
the dedication of Jackson Hall. II was dedicated by
able letter from Messrs. Blair & Rives, to the
uses of the Democratic Association Of this city.
Mr. Norris accepted the offer, and delivered a
striking and eloquent Grafton in the name OF the
association. We shall publish these proceedings in
full,
The Presidents mansion was thrown open, and
large crowd of ladies and gentlemen of members of
Congress- officers of government, strangers and clti
zsns attended TO congratulate him on the return o.
the day.
We had the pleasure of participating in the cee-
bration of the college in eorgetown-decidedly
ono Of the most agreeable visits we have ever
paid. We found young Andrews, OF Virginia,
reciting the declaration of independence, which
followed by some fine music, executed by
band of the young men Of the institute. Mr.
Landry, a student from Louisiana, delivered an
Grafton, which distinguished by great beauty of
language, and enriched by the highest patriotic SEN
timents. The tribute which he PAID to the ehValry
of the army of the Rio Grande, and the ouPourng
spirit of the volunteers, touched every heart.
We will not undertake to describe the profusion
Of good things which graced the festive board
The presden, of the college, Mr.. MuIady, pre-
sided with refined and cordial hospitality which
dehes description. Those walls which have so
long been dedicated to the noblest learning rang up
on this occason with patriotic toasts and eloquent
speeches, and the finest strains of music.
The company were entertained, and occasion
ally electrified, by speeches from Messrs. G. w.
p Gusts, of Arlington; Tibbatts, of Kentucky, and
Benton, of New York, (members of the. House of
Representatives, Major Hobbie, the Assistant
Postmaster General; Mr.. Crawford, of George
town. Messrs. Robinson, and Houston of New
York, &C., &c. The whole scene was delightful

CAT this mement England is in a state of the high
est excitement with respect to home questions. Last
night the corn question virtually settled in the
House of Lords. All amendments have been
lected and the measure in that body has majority
of twenty three. A week ago it was supposed that
the ministry would have 10 retire upon the Irish
coercion bill. An opinion seems to prevail Just now
that Sir Robert will be sustained upon that question
though it must be admitted that his friends are in
great alarm. Should he, however, succeed in this,
the sugar duties stare him fully in the face, and will
assuredy defeat him, unless he d,ssolpes and goes
to the country. still entertain the opinion ex-
pressed in my former letters, that the Peel min
stry will be forced to retire.
''The elections in France are soon to come of;
and although | believe that Guizot will be sus-
tanned yet there indications in one or more Of
the departments that his majorty-which ia now
but barely a fair working one-w be consider
ably reduced. If Guzot strongly fortified
in The chambers, Great Britain, you may rely
upon it, would assume high ground upon the bal
ance-of- power doctrine. ! trust in Heaven that
it. in the war which we are now so glorousIy
prosecuting in Mexico, it becomes necessary that
we should take the capital, our flag will be plant

powers
81 send you the Times's leader relative to our
victory. Its editorial this morning, although writ
ten in a somewhat subdued tone, compared with
ts usual articles for the steamers, is still in rather
belhgerent temper. The President has gained
caste; the administration have gained caste; Con-
gress have gained CASTE in pord, The whole nation
has gained caste, from The triumph Of our arms and The
aniecedcnf measures. 1t is distinctly in Europe
that although the blaze Of patriotism ceased for a
long time to shine radianty in the United States,
it had not burned out. The true fire Of the flint Of
l776 is still there"

We have received a communication from the city
of New York. stating that "the miserable charatan,
G w Dixon IS hourishing about in Philadelphia
in generals uniform; that he gives out he is in the
pau Of government" 1t states that he Dixon twas
once a servant to Blythe, the circus rider, IN New
York; bsffoon singer, and once the notorious
publisher Of an Infamous and BLACKBOARD paper call
ed the Polyanthus." Our correspondent deprecates
the idea of such "a man wearing a commission in
the service Of the United Staes and calls upon us,
in short article, to put down rumor which is $50
offensive to the volunteers and officers Of all denom-
nations" Since receiving this note, we have seen
the following paragraph from the Philadelphia Spirit
Of the Times Of Saturday last
"THE Conquest OF YUcArAN.-Gen. Dixon is
still in our city making arrangements for his expe-
duon to Yucatan. He leaves to night, via Pitts
burg, St. Louis, and New Orleans, accompanied by
an accomplished German interpreter. The army
have already gone by to Laguna. They are
mechanics, representing every branch of industry,
from making a shoe to building ship-of-war, and
will be Just the men to annex that portion Of Mexi-
co to the constellation"
We deem it our duty, therefore, to expose the
impostor. We understand that G. w. Dixon has
no commission, and species Of authority from the
government of the United States. We warn our
western friends to beware Of such an imposition.
The plan, too, which is here attributed to him is
abhorent to the policy of our government. Con-
quer Yucatan! Why Yucatan is already indepen-
dent of Mexico, and is the friend of the United
States We have no disposition to ''annex that por-
ton of Mexico to the (Amercan) constellation
whether it be by conquest of her soil, or even by
the voluntary consent of her people Let no man
therefore be taken in by this adyenturer.

In the Chamber of Deputies the Minister OF
Marine, in reference to the war between the United
States and Mexico was asked fine intended to toll
crate the extreme abuse which the Mexicans APP
peared disposed to make Of their letters Of
marque. The minister replied that the principle
which guided the ministry in reference to the cor
sairs was that for a ship to have the right to sail
under the French flag the captain, The officers, and
two-thrds Of her must be French. Neverthe-
less, in certain circumstances, il was sufficient if
three-hflh Of the crew French. II was on
such conditions that letters Of marque were delivered
in time OF war to vessels sailing under the French
flag. The circumstances which constituted piracy
were determined by the laws Of 1926, which are,
that vessel must be found in the precise condition
defined by that law to be reputed pirates. But in
case French vessels Of war ordered to cruise in
places in which French commerce needed protection,
and if the captains Of those vessels Of to
meet a ship which sailed under foreign flag, and
should have a captain, officers, and majority Of the
crew not belonging to that nation, there would be
Just motive OF suspicion, and the captains of such
vessels of war ought to protect the interests Of their
