Venezuela.

AS we intimated yesterday, the verbal re.
ports Of revolution in Venezuela prove to be
incorrect. Our correspondent at Porto Cabel.
10 is silent on the subject, although he gives US
mercantile intelligence The same gentle
man, however, writing to a friend in this city,
under date of Dec. 25th, represents the excite
ment among the politicians as very great, but
saws there were hopes of an accommodation.
The quarrel relates to the administration OF
President Jose Tadeo Monagas, who was elect
ed by one party, and makes his appointments
from the other. His administration COM
menced on the 10Th of Jan. last, and should
continue four years. No revolution had TAX
Ell place, says the correspondent, nor was any
apprehended.
Another gentleman here. a merchant, has
letters from his correspondents in Venezuela,
but they make no mention of revolution
The report, in that shape, is evidently untrue.
One of the letters says: "Every portion OF
the country is quiet the authorities are obey
ed.''
Gen. Paez was at Porto Cabelle few ca.
before the Greek sailed, and remarked that
there were no grounds for impeaching the
President. whatever. The influence Of Gen.
Paez is great, and being exerted, as it will be,
in favor of the administration, will go far to
sustain it.-Journal Of Commerce.

BATH WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 26, ls4S.

The Editor of the Boston Atlas, writing
from Washington, says:
"a great interest is felt here to see what
course the House will take, in relation to the
refusal of the President to communicate to
Congress and the country the sohole Of the
correspondence which led to the return of
Santa Anna to Mexico, and the instructions
given to John Slidell, when he was sent Min
lister to Mexico. There are certain facts in re.
lation to this matter which honorable men,
bers here believe-it is by many believed, and
there are good grounds for the belief, that Sill
dell was instructed to demand of Mexico
considerable portion of California, and to de-
mand the Rio Grande as the western bounda-
ny of Texas; and it is believed that Santa An
ma had agreed, when in Cuba, that he would,
if again in power, accede to our demands,
whatever they might be-and as an equivalent,
we were to give up our claims against Mexico,
and in addition, as a douceur to himself, we
were to give him three millions of dollars
As part, therefore. of the scheme, Slidell was
instructed to threaten the Mexican govern
meut, in the event of its refusal to accede to
our demands. with return of Santa Anna
from banishment-and as part of the plan,
to coerce the Mexican government, our ships
of war we're ordered to cruise in the Gulf, and
the army under Gen. Taylor to advance to the
Rio Grande. 1t SO happened that Mr.. Slidell
was not received-consequentl the purport
of his instruction is not known. He returned
home, the army was marched to the Rio
Grande, the American feet was in the Gulf,
and on the very day, the 18th of May, that the
war bill passed Congress, letter was sent by
order of the President, from the Navy De-
partment, to pass Santa Anna and suite (com-
posed of upwards of 40 Mexican oficers) into
Mexico. 1t is to get the whole of this mi
guilty before the country, that the House pas
sed the order-and it is the purpose of the
President to prevent this by plumply refusing
to respond to the call of the representatives of
the people"

The War VS.. the Business of the Coun-



We are now realizing, to a painful extent,
the mischievous effects upon business OF the
Mexican war-efects which we predicted with
confidence almost at the commencement OF
this journal, and at time when scarcely any
of the commercial papers had bestowed a
thought upon this view OF the subject. We
know, indeed, that not few business men re-
fused to believe that there was any ground for
apprehension. but rather rejoiced in the opin-
ion that trade would be quickened by the OPP
Grafton Of the war, inasmuch as it would open
new fields for commercial enterprise, and in
crease the demand for our manufactures. The
Wing journals opposed the war on political
grounds, but seldom for the reason that it
would check and embarrass home industry and
enterprise. Meanwhile, this grand cause Of
mischief to all the interests of business has
continued, like huge constructor, to wind its
deadly folds around us, getting us completely
within its power; and now the fearful pres
sure grows more and more painful, scffocating
and crushing, and a thousand voices cry out
at once, in recognition of the deadly embrace.
The activity of business which war was to
produce has not taken place; the contribu-
tions in Mexico which were to sustain the war
have not been realized but nearly every dol
lar of its cost has been withdrawn from the
capital employed and needed in the legitimate
business of the country; thus creating confu-
sion, contraction by the banks, and general
apprehension in the mercantile community
In short, from being in highly fourishing
condition in all branches of trade and bust
ness, with an indefinite prospect of general
prosperity. everything has been brought to
sudden stand; feeling of anxious apprehen-
sion prevails; enterprises of great Importance
are arrested or embarrassed; contracts in ship
and railroad building are given up, and the
vast Indebtedness of the country for merchan-
die purchased is wantonly placed in great
jeopardy. 1t is not possible to doubt that all
this change results from the operation of
single cause, the war with Mexico-a war
commenced by politicians for political ends,
without the least regard to, or concern for, the
prosperity of American industry aad trade

the people.

Seventeen Deputies were at Queretaro, ready
for the assembling of the new Congress. The
Monitor publishes list of those who were
present at preliminary meeting. The revo-
lutionists are brought to stand, public opin-
ion being too strong for them. Many of the
chiefs had given in their adhesion to the gov
eminent and avowed their determination to
aid it to the best of their means and ability.
They think it the best and surest course to
leave the General Government and State at
liberty to form their own opinions in regard to
peace or war-thus submitting to the exigen-
c;es of the time and the will of the majority.
The Monitors correspondent thinks the men,
bers of the new Congress will readily and eff
GENTLY work together, inasmuch as they will
cast aside everything like the qualification of
personal interests or unworthy prejudices.-
We really hope that such may be the case.
We have noticed many of the liberated pris-
oners asking aims in the street, with their GER
tifcates in their hands. Whether worthy OBJ
jects of charity or not we are not advised
Being able bodied men, however, who have

are Industrious can no doubt find employ

Ian have been received to the 30th ult. The
guerrillas, under Mijarez, made an attack upon
the Cape (Lower California; and were COM

leans being killed. La Paz, further north in
the Peninsula, was also the scene of san.
CANARY conflict between the guerillas, under
Capt. Pineda, and the Americans. The place
was reduced to ashes by the fire that took
place between the combatants. The Mexicans
were finally compelled to retire. There are
rumors of other engagements, but nothing tc
