The Southern mail at Washington this eve
ming brings New Orleans papers, containing ac
counts Of an arrival with news from the Brazos Il
the 9lh, and from Tampico to the 9th inst.
! From The Brazos nothing more was received
| in relation to the situation of Gen. Taylor.
From Tampico we learn that al the troops
had left The Island of Lobos.
twas reported at Tampico, and believed, that
Gen. Taylor had retrealed, first TO Salllo and
then TO Monterey, without batlle.
Other accounts, brought solely by Mexcans
say that an action took place al Aqua Nueva, and
that Santa Annu defeated Gen. Taylor.
Accounts had been received ut Tampico of q
Revolution in The city of Mexico, headed by the
Clergy and Madonul Guards. Parias was despo.
sed and Saas made President. A Proclamation
was issued by the RevoIulioniss, for The rostora-
lion Of true Federation principles.
The Mexican troops al lalisSo had deserted,
and La Vegas troops which had been ordered to
Vera Cruz, concurred in the Revolution.
The result Of the Revolution upon the ques.
lion of the relations of this country with Mexico,
were known, or even its results in Mexico.
The Mexican newspapers contain letters writ.
ten by Santa Anna from the Army, announcing
his determinatonto TO attack Gen TAYLOR on March
l2Ih, at which time he expected to arrive at Sal
tillo. He writes in his usual magniloquent and
boasing style.
He stated that the attack would be made with
four Divisions. lie expected TO find Gen. Tay-
Ior at Satillo, his information being that Taylor
had abandoned Nueva.
The Plan of operations formed by him was
that Generals Mnon and Torrejon should get in
the rear of Gen. Taylor and cut off his retreat 10
Monterey, when he should have defeated him.
The revoluIionists, aiicr getting the reins of
Government into their own hands, elected Santa
Anna Commander in Chief the army.

James Frazier was tried on Monday and Tues.
day Of last week, before the Court Of Common
Pleas, Of WASH ngon county, for the murder Of
his wife on the 22d of February last. The pro.
sccullon was conducted by William D. Emcr.
son. Esq, Prosecuting Attorney, assisted by John
Welch, ESQ.,; and the defence by Gen. Charles
B. Goddard; William A. Whiulesy, and C. r.
Rhodes, Esqs. The testimony, which is pretty
fully reported in the Marietta InIeligencer, de.
veopes the fact that the deceased was murdered
on the night of The 92d of February, and her boz
dy cast into the well. The prisoner manifested
a great degree Of GOODNESS and Indifference up TO
the time Of the discovery Of The body, which was
three or four days after the murder. The Jury
returned verdict of ''murder in the first de.
gree"-and the counsel for the prisoner moved
the court for new trial. Without hearing argu.
ment upon this motion, the cause was continued
until the next term Of the couu in Marie,tu.-O.

The voice of freedom. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1839-1848, 1847-12-16

After copying the whole of the first chap
ter of the Message in relation to Mexico, we
deemed best, in consequence of being short
of room for the whole, and leave room for
other matter, to give fair presentation of
the points embraced instead Of the whole.
One item in the statements Of the President
was omitted in our synopsis, which was this :;
he says $24,l2I, 2s9 in specie were imported
during the last fiscal year, and that $22,276,-
10 were retained in this country. Since the
exports for that year exceeded the imports
only S12,122,9SA, there must have been at
the close of that year, due to foreigners, the
sum of SIC, l53,1S6 for their manufactures,
provided matters stood square at the Begin
ming of said year. When this shall be de-
handed and sent back, and starvation ceases
to stare people in Europe, in the face, the
tables will be turned in regard to specie be-
ing brought from abroad, q. e. if dutiabIe
articles arc brought in 50 abundantly as to
produce the revenue antici patcd. 1t would
rather seem that Mr.. Polk must be satisfied
from recent movements in England, in regard
to money matters, that, as soon as a usuaI
supply of food is raised in the British domin.
ions, the drain of specie from England will
be checked and the tide turned against the
United States-as compared with the last
wear. If tho scale is not turned we shall be
very satisfactorily disappointed.
One idea in regard to the peculiar desire
of the President to see justice done, struck
us very forcibly. 1t was this, that when this
nation has expended untold millions in trying
TO collect one and half million from the
Mcxicans offering at the same time to pay
three millions in cash, and defray all the ex
pcnses of the war and give up the pretended
original claim, if the Mexicans would give W
their birthright in exchange, that the Pres'
dent could not extend some Of his sympathy
