LovE LErTEps on MAnY STUART.
The Courier des Etats Unis states that the
Edinburgh Review intends 10 publish tho
recently discovered love letters Of Mary
Queen ef Scots, written to Boutwell, befbte
the assassination Of Datnley, her second
husband. These Is tors were produced
by Regent Murray, dtting the trial against
Mary instituted by Queen Elizabeth.
Their authenticity was denied and defen.
ded by Mnry's friends and enemies.-The
letters remained in the English archives
until tho reigns Of the Chatleses, when
they disappeared, and it was thought were
destroyed. II was tho interest Of these
kings TO hide al proof against their grand
mother. Instead Of being destroyed i now
appears they were taken 10 Scotland, and
Sir William Knox has discovered them In
the library Of Sir Arthur Lesley, u knight
Of the western highlands. Lesley, Bishop
Of Ross, q progenitor Of Sir Arthur, was
an attached partisan Of Mary Stuart, aud 9
commissioner appointed by the unfortunate
Q3ecn to defend hor interests, wlIsn the
arbitrary Elizabeth s]0intnoned her before
the English tribunals. II would seem pro-
bable from this, that the Bishop Of Ross
COLLECTED and preservod this correspondence
and left It among his family memorials.
Tho fortunate discoverer has shown tbs
letters to tho most distinguished ~literati o
Edinburgh, and their authenticity seems Il
be placed beyond all dispute. These com
petept Judges are confirmed in their opinion
by the prime Council Of England, after tbr
letters have been compared with thr
known and acknowledged ebirogrghy, 9
Mary. They are written in very bar
style, and show evidences throughout Z
the Garelessness and familiar tone peculin
. to letters hastily iDterchanged betwoe
familiar friends. The details are minute
, and Of a character Which no one woul
y have gone 20 the trouble to invent had the
/ been forgeriey. They are all written in tb
& French language, and as every thing con
i nected with the history Of the beautiful, Vt
2 fortunate and perhaps erring Mary
Scots Is imbued with a melancholy in
~terest, their appearances will bc awaitc
q with considerable anxiety by the curiou

9rDuring the heat of the late politi.

EFDuring the heat Of the late poii'l-.
cal campaign an article appeared IN the
Herald OF the 18th uIt., impugning the
vcrscity of Solomon Bare, Esq, of La
vansyiIIe. by charging him with circula-
ing report that Gen. Irwin had taken
the benefit OF the Bankrupt Law.
mr.. Bare denies having circulated any
sarh report, and from other circumstan-
ees independent of his denial, we feel
bound 10 say that we believe Mr.. Bare
innocent of the charge. 1t was made
upon what the writer deemed good au-
fnofny at the time, but il originated in a
misunderstanding of Mr.. Bare's language,
which was that Irwin had voted for the
Bankrupt law and Patton had taken the
benef. Of il.
We consider il matter of justice to
Mr. Bare TO make this statement, and TO
say further. that personally we have al
ways esteemed and do yet esteem him as
good and worthy citizen.

MK. poLK's FRIEND sANTAANNA

The American public have daily cause
toadmire the foresightand sagacity which
induced Mr.. Polk TO permit Santa Anna
TO return 10 Mexico. To be sure il
would have occurred TO ordinary minds,
that man who would bargain for re-
turn to his own country, in order that he
might be able 10 belray it, was not much
to be trusted. But Mr.. Polk is not an
"ordinary mind" and the result of his
negotiation with Santa Anna proves, be-
yond peraiventurc, that il was the
most extraordinary piece of diplomatic
tact that the world has been called on to
admire. Look at Santa Annals last pro-
clamation. Defeated in series of bloody
engagements, and driven from his capital,
observe what mild and peaceful sen.i
mcnts he breaihes; admire how exactly
all Mr.. Folks anticipations have been re-
allied, and see the policy Of permitting
Santa Annals return amply vindicated.--
Take he following sentence as evidence
of Santa Annals friendship for this coun-
try and desire for peace:
"Mexicans! You will find me, rs ever,
leading in your defence, striving to free
you from heavy yoke. and to preserve
your altars from infamous violation, and
your daughters and wives from the ex.
iremity of insult. The enemy raises the
sword to wound your noble fronts; do
you draw il likewise TO chastisc the ram
corous pride of the invader"
How Mr.. Folks eyes must be rive,ed
on these peaceful sentiments thus gently
and how must he chuckle in
his inmost soul when he reflects that
Santa Anna owes his power, to hold this
language, to his prudence, to his sagarity
and foresight.-Pelersburg lva.) Inielli-
