A friend at Washington notified us las,
evening by telegraph that the Supreme
Court Of The United States has given a

The Eleanor arrived at New Orleans on
the 9th, from Vera Cruz. She brings four
! days later news from the city Of Mexico
| General SocTT had issued his OF ders, stat.
ing that the army was about to spread
over and occupy all Mexico until it sued
for peace. Each State was required to
pay to our officers all of the taxes and rev.
fenues due fron ii to the Mexican Gov
eminent. The various taxes, duties, &c.,
are enumerated in the order, and are to be
taken for our use. Letters and transit du
lies between the Mexican States are pro-
hitited. The tobacco, playing cards, and
stamped paper rents were TO be !armed
out To the highest bidder:
The Free American tells US that Colo
uei Miles was about to leave Vera Cruz
TO Join his regiment.
The American Nar, dated Mexico, 18th
December, intimates remoyaiof troops
from that city, for. other and perhaps dis
tant places; and in another column says ]:
1--WE understand Col. Riiey's brigade,
consisting Of Cd Artillery, and ID, Alb, aud
5.h Infantry, and the Voltigeurs, willmove
this morning for Tacubaya, where they
are TO be stationed for the present. Per-

The American Star Of the 10th inst,
contains the following:
A letter in the .uonitor of yesterday,
dated at Queretaro, on Monday, states that
the present Congress will not come to-
kgeher again, several Deputies having left,
and others being about 10 leave. 1t adds,
tina, the new Deputies and Senators would
soon be in the city, many of them being
already on the road.
The Government is silently taking all
necessary measures for suppressing the
intrisues Of the monarchists. In conse-
quence ofthe Governors not having fulfill
ed their promise to aid the Government
with such resources S they could COM
mand, it was much cramped for means.
Some Of the Deputies in favor Of reyo-
lu,ionary measures, were enaeavoring to
get up pronunciamento in several towns
Of the State of San Luis ,the object of which
should be convention. the continuation
of war, and declaring Santa Anna gene
ral-in chief. 1t was thought it would
amount to nothing. ''t
Assistant Surgeon Suter, U. S. A., died
at the city of Mexico on the 18th inst,
very justly and highly appreciated as a
surgeon and gentleman.

Lieut.. Caiinet, Asst Quartermaster, aud
Mr.. Rivers, interpreter, with small par
iy, left PuebIa for Jalapa, on the 18th ult,

of the party who had arms, they defeated

hour, and the charm and the power of his
thoughts and words gather strength as he
proceeds. Scarce an individual leaves the
house, though the Missionary, Tract and BIZ
BILE Societies Anniversaries invite them to go.
There is no meeting in this city, during this
great anniversary week, which can be COM
pared in interest and power with this. There,
he is done, and there is great applause.
Frederick Douglass now takes the platform,
and is welcomed with applause The as
sembly is now liked in lis close attention,
and Frederick is going on to show up the
cowardly and sneaking conduct of John L.
Hale in bringing in a bill to protect proper
ty, and not daring to stand up and fearlessly
advocate the right of the slaves to run away,
and the right and duty Of abolitionists to help
them. Frederick is describing Punch's por-
trait of Brother Jonathan-with the devil
lowering over him, cycling with satisfaction
passing events. The audience give him
great applause. He is speaking to great eff
fect-portraying the wrongs of the colored
population of this nation. His eloquence
sweeps the great assembly with him. He
Genounces the northerners who swear to sup
port the Constitution, as the real Shareholders
Of the country. 1t is good TO listen TO him.
He shows up the northern apologistS of slave
ry, as those whose smiles he does not want.
He pledges himself TO denounce these enc
mics of God and man, who swear to supper
the Constitution, as his enemies. Frederick
has got the audience in a great state of glo-
riication, and he is now showing that there
is no way to abolish slavery except by the
dissolution of the Union. There, he is done,
and the meeting is breaking up. 1t has been
a pleasant and profitable time. Blu, l must
close and send this oil.

BRoADwAv TABERNACLE, INV YORK, !
10 o'clock, Tuesday morn, May 9, 49,. !

To ANDREW PATTON, Giasgov, Scotland.
DEAR FRIEND-I left Boston last evening,
at 5 o'clock, and arrived here in company
with Abby X. Foster, Edmund jackson, and
several others, to attend the Anniversary of
the American Anti Slavery Society. Arrived
here this pleasant, bright morning, at c.
Garrison, Wendell Phillips, Edmund Quin-
cy, Theodore Parker, Francis Jackson, and
others, came on yesterday morning, and arri-
we'd here last evening. | am now on the
platform, in the Broadway Tabernacle, where
our anniversaries in New York have gener-
ally been held. The building will hold from
three to four thousand. The people are gath
ering in. Before me is seated Isaac Il. Hop
per, whose nam has, for more than half a
century, been a beacon-light to tle fugitive
slave. His 'IGhs Of Oppression is one of
the most thrilling narratives-or rather series
of narratives, | ever read. 1t contains the in
ycidents of the lives of many f~ugitives from
republican whips and chains. Near by sits
Lucretia Mott, with her calm, pleasant, but
most earnest and determined face. Near me,
on the platform, are Theodore Parker, Wen.
dell Phillips, VIM. Lloyd Garrison, Edmund
Quincy, VIM. w. Brown, Frederick Doug
lass, Parker Pillsbury, and others, many of
whom have been pioneers in the anti-slave-
ry movement, and who long ago laid proper
ty, reputation and life, on the altar of free
dom, and who have stood like pillars of light
amidst the gross darkness that broods over
all this nation. There is a great ~buzzing in
the spacious room-friend greeting friend,
and a smile of welcome rests on all around.
These are truly delightful gatherings. Many
come to these meetings, who are lukewarm
or hostile to our glorious struggle for liberty.
Struggle for liberty! How that sounds in
this land. But it is true, ours is a death
struggle between slavery and liberty. There
is no despotism on earth so fierce, so potent,
so malignant, as that which is perpetrated by
this mls-called republic.
Garrison, the President of the Society, has
CONT forward, and is now calling the NEE
ting to order, and making a few remarks
He says, by the help of God, we have come
together to utter such testimony against slave
ry as shall make every slave leap for Joy, and
every apologist of slavery tremble and shrink
in his wickedness. He says, According to
our custom, an opportunity will now be offer
ed for any person present 10 pray, who feels
