shall not be prolonged one day later than Tho
Mexican Government makes it absolutely
necessary, TO carry this determination into
effect.
lie had sent, in the capacity OF commits
sioner to The head quarters o. the army in
Mexico, Mr.. N. p. Trist. chief clerk IN tho
State Department, with foll powers to con-
clude a definite treaty Of peace with the
United Mexican States. Mr., Trist ~ re-
commendcd as possessing the full confidence
of the President, and worthy that OF the Mexl-
can government.
| In conclusion, Mr.. Buchanan forbears CON-
meDting upon the closing passage OF tho
last letter from The Mexican Minister, lest II
should give to his present note less con-
clliatory character than he desires from II d;
he recurs with pleasure to another passage
wherein is expressed the pain with which the
Mexican government has seen altered the
cordial friendship which il had cultivated
with this Republic, the continued advance
ment of which it hud always admired.
and whose institutions had served as model
of its own.
Such sentiments, continues Mr.. Buchanan,
the President desires to see restored, and
that the United Mexican States, under such
institutions os prevail with us, would protect
and secure the liberty Of their citizens and
maintain an elevated position among the na-
tions of the earth.
This letter the Mexican Minister acknow-
ledges on the 22d of April, saying that the
President had instructed him to reply that tho
whole subject matter Of it had been express
ly reserved by the sovereign Congress OF
the nation for it's own control, and that the
letter would be at once transmitted to itfor
its action.
We learn by the Mexican papers that
Congress was at once convened to take the
matter into consideration, but up to the 29lh
OF June no quorum had been procured.
By letter from a source entitled TO great
respect, we learn that Gen. Scott gave tho
Mexican government until the 30ih ult., to
act upon the letter, when, if nothing should
be done, he would march OIL.
Nothing farther had been heard from Gen.
Cadwullader or Pillow at Vera Cruz; but it
is presumed that they had arrived at Gen.
SCOTS headquarters.

FROM MEXICO.

BY the arrival Of the steamship Alabama
at New Orleans, the Plcayune has direct ad
vices from Mexico to the morning Of the 29tf
June, and Pueba to the 30th Gen. Scott
was at Puebla awaiting reinforcements iron
Generals Cadwallader and Pillow. Genera
Cadwallader was at Perole on the Goth, a.
waiting the arrival of Gen. Pillow.
The news from Mexico is indefinite. Gen
Scott had communicated to the Mexican
government that Mr.. Trist was with him and
was authorized 10 negotiate for peace. San.
Ia Anna vanly cndeavored TO procure n quo.
rum of Congress to consider Gen. Scott's
communication.
1t is supposed that Gen. Scott will have to
march into Mexico TO secure peace. The cen.
sorsbip of the press prevents the knowledge
of what measures for defence are contempla-
ted. Santa Anna will leave the city in three
days from the Both, for the benefit OF his
health. 1t is stated that every avenue or
entrance TO the city is fortified, but the sue.
cess Of the Americans is not doubted
Gen. Pillow, il is said, was compelled to
contest the road with the Guerilla parties
ill beyond Cerro Gordo. They took advan.
,age Of every defle 10 arrest his progress
His loss is said TO be severe. The Govern
ment OF TueOIa was GntTuSteu Win COOnel
BeI,on, Of the Sd artillery Alvarez was at
AIaxeo on the 18th June, with 300 cavalry.
The American Star, published at Pueblo,
says there is three months supply Of provis.
ions in the city for the army, and the fields
around sufficient TO supply the necessary
forage.
A Mexican had been detected by one Of
his own countrymen on the way from the
Capital to Puebla, with drawings Of the dif-
ferent Notifications around the Capital, was
tried and condemned, but afterwards es
capped. The Mexicsns used every means to
induce our men to desert, and would then
treat them shamefuly.
A letter from Mexico to the Star says, the
American prisoners were at liberty, and no
one troubled them. The writer snys he sees
Major Gaines daily. The decree ordering
the Americans away wos not extended TO
them. II is believed that they are again re.
incarcerated at Santiago. Majors Gaines
and Borland may be al liberty, but the rest
doubtful.
The Prefe CT at Puebla recently decamped
I o Aloxeo with all the city funds.
Com. Pery's expedition TO Tobasco was
entirely successful. A rumor was current OF
Vera Cruz on the morning Of the LIST, that
Gen. Scott had entered The capital and Gen.
Pillow captured by the guerillos. The for
ner is false, and no faith put IN the latter.

FIFTEEN DAYS LATER FROM
EUROPE.

The Steamship Britannia arrived at Bos-
ton on Saturday morning, abou! Q o'clock, in
about twelve and half days from Liverpool
The Hiberna arrived out on Monday
morning, the 2Sh June, in little more than
| days from Boston.
The New York packet ships Henry Clay,
Capt. Nye, and the Washington Irving,
Capt. Caldwell, arrived off Liverpool on the
Odd ult.
The Sarah Sands left Liverpool on tho
18th of June, but had been obliged to put in
to Cove with machinery damaged, after run
ming abou, 500 miles on her course. II was
expected that she would be detained but a
few days.
There has been more animation in the cot
ton market, during the past fortnight, says
the Liverpool Times, than we have had oc-
casion to record for some weeks back, This
is no doubt caused in great degree by the
improvement observable in the state of trade
in the manufacturing districts, the decline
tendency Of the grain markets, and the sPlen-
did weather, which is forcing forward the
American and Surat was fully I'D per h.,
during the week ending June 9th. And up
TO July Cd, prices Of all descriptions were
Lid pc: ID. higher
Since the 18th ult., the state Of the Corn
market bas commanded general attention
from all classes. During the week succeed
ing that date the weather was wet, subse.
quen,ly it improved, and il is now warm and
seasonabe. The London and Liverpool
markets accordingly have felt the effects, and
a fall of from los to Ids. per quarter on
Wheat was established up to July Sd, when
the market in London showed further ten
dcncy to decline. In fact, from the highest
point in the middle Of May, the total fall can
not be estimated OF less in Liverpool, than a.
bout 34s. per quarter whilst American
Flour, which, at tho middle of May, fetched
here 4Ss. Cd. per barrel, it fell in June TO dos.
Cd. per barrel, and at the present date, the
same description of Flour will not realize
more than 33s. Cd. per barrel, with general
tendency to decline.
The Times odds :-"The genial weather
which now prevails cannot fail to bring ior'

A new scheme had now blended itself
with Flint 3 paueuvres. Ills eve had
fallen on Rebecca, and he fancied that
he loved her. We say faRcied, because
he was incapable of loving anything but
gain and a scheme had occurred 70
h,m by which he could convert Rebecca
into a GROWING item in the robbery oi
her father. lie trusted 10 the lawsuit
eheciually to cucumber what was lett OF
poor Moulion's farm, by new mortgages,
and other methods Of stealing, and II he
could have the daughter, too, there
would be a legitimate opportunity to
take up the mortgages as the son-ln-law,
and thus come out at the expense OF a
little form, the mageanimoas assistant Of
the father, out Of love to his wife-,he
property Of course reveriing to himself.
The reader will not fail to have seen,
before this, who was the real holder Of
the mortgages. Flint knew that the
consummalioD Of his plans must result in
the end, in his acquiring clear title to
Moulton's farm, at one third of its val
ue and this indeed was his intention
when he first inveighed the victim into
his rolls. BY marrying Rebecca he
could obtain the whole at even less cost
the slight circumstance Of swindling
the other children presenting no obstacle
to his rapacity. And to this scheme he
now turned his whole system OF arifice.
That he met with symptoms Of ill-con-
cealed aversion on thesPart Of the per-
son most interested, only stimulated his
resolves. The father was in his tolls
and he trusted TO the daughters affection,
and the parents unreasonable exactions
upon his child, to complete the success
Of his manGuvres.

FReNps EDITORs:-
1t may be interesting to the friends Of the
slave 10 know what is being done in this re-
mote and neglected corner. Liberty party
has the entire ascendancy and gives character
Ia aboliiionism here. There are but a hand
full Of Disunionisis in this section, and they
are persons unused TO public speaking; but
we are doing what we can, though we have
to contend against powerful odds. We have
had several meetings lately, and are about Or
ganiaing a society here but so little are the
Disunion principles known in this region, that
| have received several invitations from Lii
ber,y party to hold meetings amongst them
which | shall comply with, though suppose
they will be the lastihat will be extended, 1t
am enabled to represent our principles fairly
We had a meeting on the llth insi.' at
which "No Union with Shareholders" was
advocated by J. Armstrong, Jr., which pro-
duced much sensation and dissatisfaction
among the friends of Liberty party. One
Jealous supporter Of the party declared that
if he were required 10 give up his vote, he
would have nothing more TO do with aboll-
ton. The professors think we are violating
the Sabbath by pleading for the slave on that
day, though if a COW were 10 fall in a ditch
on the frs, day of the week, they would moi
scruple TO pull her out. How much better
is a COW than a man. Such Sabbath-keepers
troubled the Messiah when he healed on the
Sabbath. They also object to non-professors
espousing The cause of the slave. They seem

against whom he has personally no enmi,y,
but whom the State authorizes him TO wound,
STAY, and destroy and his achievements are
received with enthusiastic rejoicings and the
church prays to the God Of Battles to bless
his murderous deeds. Mosler, the other muir
derer TO whom we referred, is but the muir
derer Of one f; that one he had enmity against;
he did the deed without Slate authority, and
wore no murderer's uniform community re.
cciyes the act with curses and execrations,
and the church, instead of blessing it, blesses
the hand Which strangles the lesser criminal
to death, for il Mosler deserved 10 die upon
the gallows because he murdered one, Tay-
Tor deserves for his thousand murders to die,
if it were possible, a thousand deaths.
The newspapers tell us the poor man died
happy, that is, lie became reconciled TO God ;
and yet the Sheriff Of Philadelphia county,
not by an agent, but in person, hung up that
christian man by the neck as you would hang
a dog; and the people who sanctioned it and
authorized him TO do the deed, on the next
Sabbath entered the sanctuary, raised their
blood-stained hands to Heaven, and prayed,
Forgive us as ,0e forgive those who tres
pass against u.s."
1t is said that every execution sows a crop
of murders. The first fruits Of Mosler's eS-
%ecution was seen in the murder of a colored
man, vino three days since was attacked by
three white men and so bru,ally beaten tha,
he died a few hours after.
