PAnEDEs.--The arrival of the exiled Mexican,

FAREDEs.--The arrival of the exiled Mexican,
Gen. Paroles, at Vera Cruz, and his making his
way INTO the INTERIOR under the nose of our autho
mites without being detected, is one of the most
singular of the many singular incidents Of this pre-
sent Mexican war. That Paroles had friends in
Vera Cruz who were apprized of his intended ar.
rival in the British steamer "Teviot," and who
were consequently prepared to aid his designs,
there seems to be no doubt but that he could es-
cape the vigilance of our people in that city,
a little curious, we must confess. Some of our
contemporaries seem to censure Mr.. Campbell
our Consul at the Havana, who was acquainted
with the fact of his (Paredes) embarka,ion, for
not sending special messenger to {" Vera Cruz
to look after the handsome Senor," as the New
Orleans papers style him. Doubtless Mr.. Camp
bell thought that his writing TO the authorities in
forming them OF the movements of Paroles. would
be sufficient; and we inclined to think so too.
had not the British commander of the "Teviot !"
aided and abetted him in his maneuverine. Be
this as 1t may, there is no doubt but that Paroles
is more the soil of that unfortunate Re.
public, from which he was SO recently banished.
What effect his arrival will produce on the present
aspect Of Affairs it would be difficult now to con-
lecture. Santa Anna is pledged to hang him if
he can catch him; but it NAV be that Paroles
Will he able to raise new party for himself that
will be able to overthrow the present dictator

A ENTHUSIASTICALLY, we think that San
ia Anna is in pretty predicament. Some three
months ago the Mexican Congress decreed that
any man who would attempt to conclude treaty
of peace with Los Amercanos on any terms.
whilst the said Los Americanos were occupying
any portion of the Mexican soil, would be deemed
guilty of high treason, and dealt with accordingly
Well, now, Santa Anna, when the propositions
came from Mr.. Buchanan, laid them before Con-
gress, with view of avoiding this penal statute,
but Congress was too smart for him, and, after
considerable debate, referred the whole matter
back to the Erecutire! What then, the
" Hero of Tampico" do! Ifhe attempts to treat,
this penal statute is in full force against him, and
Congress will neither treat itself nor will it repeal
the bloody Decree Truly, we opine, his Excel
ency, Mr.. Santa Anna, is in rather tight place.

DEATH OF SILAs WR1sHr.-This dis,inopi h..
ed statesman died suddenly of an apoplectc fit, at
his residence IN Canton, st. Lawrence county. n.
York. on Friday last, the 9th inst Mr.. Wright
was about 55 years ofage at the time of his death.
The death of such man as SiIas Wright is a
national calamity. His ntelect-his services
his Vlrtues-are the common property of the whole
people Of the Union, and their extinction bv the
ruthless md of death cannot but he considered as
national loss by every right thinking man in the
Republic, no matter to what political party he be-
longs.
Mr.. Wright has long occupied position, as re-
CARDS intellect, upon the same platform with such
men as Calhoun, Webster, Benton. and Clay, and
as pure and patriotic statesman, have long
regarded him as occupying niche far above most
of them.
Silas Wright was not a politician in the ordi-
nary acceptaton of that term. He knew nothing
about wire-working. As statesman he was
pure dsinterested and straightforward. He new
err was an office seeker indeed he has frequently
refused to accept the very highest Offices in the
gift of the Federal Administration. In May IA
he declined the nomination the Baltimore Dem
ocratic Convention the ground, it was then
supposed, of his personal relations to Mr.. Van
Buren,, who was then prominent candidate be-
fore that body. His last public position was the
Gubernatorial Chair of his own State, (N.Y
AS statesman, SlIas Wright had few equals,
and in our opinion no superiors in the Union In
the Senate chamber of the Union he had no su-
penor as an able reasoner, and as a ready and
powerful debater. His loss will be severely felt
by the Democratic party of the Union for we be-
lleVe that many had turned their eyes upon him
as the next candidate for the Presidency.
