SANTA ANNA AND GEN. SCoTT.-Ihe
Mobile Tribune contains translation OF
letter from Santa Anna, transmitting to his
Government some intercepted documents,
among them Gen. SCOTS recent proclama-
ton, Of which he says:
This proclamation of Scott's is written
with the most refined hypocrisy and with
the most Infamous perGdy. 1t is the great
est insult yet offered to the Mexican people,
whom it has attempted to lull Ia quien So
pretende udormecer) to make it the victim
of the ambition Of that nation which is the
enemy of our race, when, in another place,
it feels no embarrassment in proclaiming by
the press and in official documents, that it
carries on against us war of conquest and
that this war must be made at the cost Of
the blood and treasure of this unfortunate
country.
Your Excellency will note in one of the
accompanying intercepted letters, that Scott,
the Inspector General Of the United States
Army, considers the above proclamation
well adapted to aid the views of the inva-
ders.
You will observe, that this letter harmoni-
yes with others which have been lately pub
lished in this capitol, and which, with rea-
son, have been regarded by all well dispos-
ed Mexicans, as more prejudicial Tor the
venom (ponzona) which they conceal, than
the loss of battle.
But in the midst of the maevolence (en-
cono) which General Scott shows he has
against me, he does me too much honor
when he says that they had been deceived
as to my real intentions, and that on account
of this mistake his Government permitted
me to pass to my country. Indeed, most
Excellent Sir, the United States did deceive
when they dreamed that was capable of
betrayng my country. Before this should
happen | would prefer to be consumed by
fire and my ashes should be scattered and
not single atom left.
Would to God that the Mexicans would
open their eyes to discover the poison in the
golden chalce that the perlidious Scott
prohers to them, and that the reply to his
proclamation may be one shout of universal
indignation against the invaders of our soil.
Let war be made against these without
perion, that when we may no longer be able,
because Providence may have decreed the
subugation of this unfortunate country,
there may remain TO our children or grand
children, when the wrath of the Omnipo-
tent shall have passed, the noble work of
revenging the outrage committed by the
republic of the United States on Mexico.

THE CANAL-The arrival of the last
steamer from England, says the Cumberland
Mountaneer, brought US the news of the
perem.ory refusal of the Messrs Earrings to
lars Of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
bonds But we have it from an authentic
and reliable souree-from one of the parties
engaged in the negotiation, that the amount
will readily be taken by the capitalists Of
Boston and New York

our squadron, and that it was the purpose
of the Americans to land and take the town.

Gen. Taylor, it is reported, will soon
move on towards San Louis Potosl-but
this must be mistake, for he has no men
to move any where. His IL months vol
unteers have all returned home, which leaves
him totally unprepared to move upon that
city. Col. Doniphan has reached as far as
Parras, on his way to join the General.

The CARLISLE RIoT-We learn from
the Hagersiown Herald that Mr. James H.
Kennedy, of that town, who was in jured in
the late abolition riot at Carlisle, is recover
ing, though it is feared he will be crippled
in one Of his legs Cor long time, if not for
life. The Hagerstown News says:
The recent riot in Carlisle, in which our
worthy fellow citizen, Mr.. Jas. H. Kennedy,
was SO seriously maltreated, added to the
from their owners in this county, has awak-
ened but one sentiment in our community,
which is, that all free negroes must be CON-
PEELED to 7care the State The action of
the Legislature upon the subject will be
anxiousIy awaited, and if not satisfactory,
other measures will be resorled 10, we have
no doubt.
We agree entirely with the editor of the
Marlboro Gazette in the following remarks
in reference to the same outrage:
The people of Maryland are bound at
once to take notice of this outrage, commit
ted upon respectable citizen, in the pur-
suit of his property. We are one of those
who believe that the question of the rights
of our people as shareholders is not legi-
innate subject for discussion; and would as
soon think of arguing the right of the high
wayman to seize travellers pocket-book,
as to contend about the rights guaranteed to
those who possess negro property. 10
longer permit the interference of worthless
fanatics, would be to tolerate species of
robbery.
The time has now arrived when it is ne
cessary to pass such laws as will bring the
people of the non slaveholding States to a
sense of the wrongs they inhict on us by
this dishonest course of proceeding-and
the slave States, if they fail to get ample re-
dress from the Supreme Court, will be forced
to adopt non-intercourse or retaliatory laws,
as was done bv Virginia in regard to Mas
sachusetts. The motto of Maryland is
"Peaceful remedies if we can obtain them
forclble remedies if we must.''

PARIS FAsHIoN.-Grey hair is now all
the rage in Paris. Probably some antiquat-
ed spinster among the nobility had become
too lazy to attend to the adjustment Of her
wig, and so set the fashion by returning at
once to nature.

THE Rio FRO PAss.-This pass will
now become the great point Of interest, as it
is evident our Mexican enemy intend to
make stand there, and that we shall have
another severe battle. 1t is described as
much more formidable than that of Cerro
Gordo. Itgoes through the mountain with
steep ascent, and for nearly three miles the
road, with high and rugged sides, is only
sufficient to admit the passage of single
wagon at time. The pass is about thirty
six miles from the capital and Rio Frio
Gold River,) supplies the city with water.

PRICE OF BREADsTUFFs.-We Grooming
Crops.-The Baltimore Sun says: The ex-
element in breadstuffs, occasioned by the
European news brought by the Hibernia,
has pretty generally subsidized, and the price
of flour, especially, has considerably de-
clned in New York, Boston, Baltimore,
Philadelphia, Albany, and Buffalo. few
days since Howard street -four commanded
$40 in Baltimore, and some were even look
ing for higher figure, but so tremendous
has been the outpouring Of the surplus stocks
from the interior of New Y ork, Pennsylva-
MA, and the Eastern and Western States
since the resumption of navigation, that
holders have been compelled TO give away
81 81 per barrel, and there is still an incli-
nation on the part of shippers to demand
further reduction.
mere are so many steamers on the ocean
now that it is difficult to say which may be
expected first, but the news from LIVERPOOL
will be looked for with grea, anxiety, espe-
cialIy by holders of breadstuffs, many of
whom are storing their stock in anticipa-
ton Of an advance.
The growing crops, generally speaking,
oSllI vi "uCot ouA IolH, Will uIuOuUtCUIy
yield well in the aggregate. At the North
the crops are pronounced fine by the most
inveterae croakers. We yesterday noted
the receip pit of some fine stalks of wheat from
Baltimore county, the least famine-like OBJ
jects that we have seen since last July, and
indeed we have heard so much of the '.total
destruction" of the crop, Of ''pIoughing up
fields" &C., that we were almost tempted to
enquire whether they had not been grown in
hot-house.
Feeling some pride that our State should,
amid all the croaking, be able to produce
such fine indication of good harvest, we
exhibited them TO farmer-friend from Lam
caster Co., Pa, who had been Boosting Of the
glorious wheat fields in that region. Our
surprise can be imagined better than descrb-
ed on being assured that on Mundroff's is
land, on the Susquehanna, and in the vicini-
ty, it would be difficult matter to find, in
the extensive fields of growing wheat, a
dozen stalks either as poor in straw or light
in head as the fine specimens before U.S.
We also learn that in York, Washington,
Adams, Cumberland, and all parts of Lacas-
ter county, the same favorable indications
of an abundant harvest are observable.

SINGULAR Acknowledgement years ago
a charity sermon was preached in a dissent
ing chapelinthe west of England. When the
preacher assembled the pulpthe thus address,
ed the hearers only brethren, before pro-
ceeding to the duties Of this evening, allow
me to relate short anecdote. Many years
have elapsed since | was last within the
walls of this house. Upon that evening,
among the hearers, came three men with
the intention not only soothing at the minis
ter, but with their pockets filled with stones
for the purpose of assauting him. After he
had spoken few sentences, one said, On
him, let us be at him now;' but the second
replied, mo, stop till we hear what he makes
Of this point The minister went on, when
the second said, We've heard enough now
-throw!'' but the third inlerferred, saying,
He is not SO foolish as expected; let us
hear him OUT The preacher concluded
without being interrupted. Now, mark me,
my brethren-of these three men, one was
executed three months ago at Newgate, for
forgery; the second at this moment lies un-
der the sentence of death in the Jail of this
city, for murd er-the other CONTINUED the
minister with great emotion 1.-THE third,
through the infinite goodness of God, is
even moao about to address yoa-listem to
him !"

JALAPA.-The American Star, paper
just started at Jalapa, thus speaks of the
beauties of this captured Mexican city:
If there is any one place in Mexico, that
we deem superior to all else we've seen,
combined, that place is Jalapa. 1t is the
prettiest town, has the handsomest build
ings, loveliest gardens, and most delicious
fruits Of all others taken together and wha,
adds more than all this to the interest of
the place, is the fact that it seems to be
peopled with race distinct from those we
have encountered elsewhere possessing
more ideas Of refinement, more intelligence,
more industry, and more neatness. The
women are decidedly pretty, and there is
not man who will say aught to the con-
tIary and in their habis-we mean Of
course the supper ten''-they approximate
nearer to American refinement. Naught
can be said of the men but what is to their
advantage, and many time, whilst passing
up the principal street, we imagined our
selves in some thriving Yankee city.
