sented; among them, one by Mr.. Clayton
from citizens of Philadelphia, asking for the
establishment of a post route between Phila.
delphia and New York, an opposi ton to the
Camden and Amboy railroad.
MIR. Clayton said few words in explana.
tion of the petition, and Messrs. Miller and
Dayton both denied its statements.
Mr.. Clayton called for its reading, and
spoke briefly in reply to Messrs. Dayton and
The petition was favorably referred to the

AS robber, Bruno is great man--ns

The most curious part of the affair Is that
Bruno prctends that he was in search OF Com.
Perry, when on this last excursion and, un.
fortunately for us and fortunately for him, he
arrived at Palizada after Com. Perry had left
and was at Vera Cruz.
This brave fellow arrives always too late

child Of an old man, who has, II seems, trea.
ted the Commodore kindly!
Is he not brave man, that, who deprives
an old man of his sole consolation in his old
days-his child?
Hurrah for the bravcst of the brave Mexi.

Capt. Naylor has turned over the National

little chance of peace. The National, of At.

MEXICAN AFFAIRS.

The following, from the Free American of
the 9th of April, shows that Gen. Bruno is ta-
king time by the iorelock:
WU!-The Armistiee broken by the Meri.
eans-Letters were received here yesterday,
stating that the Mexicans under Gen. Bruno,
taking advantage of the departure of Commo-
dore Perry for Vera Cruz, and that of the
gunboat left to guard the coast between Pa
iizada and Laguna, plundered those places,
while Com'r Bigelow had gone to Yucatan
with the intention of protecting the unfortu.
nate women and children, who had retired to
the sea-shore, being driven out Of their homes
by the Indians.
This Bruno, who has given new proof OF
his cowardice, has always avoided fight
with the Americans. He never could be
found when our seamen landed on the coast
but as soon as he finds-the generosity of an
American commander makes it a duty fo,
him to 60 and protect unfortunate women and
children, then, and only then he shows him.

NJ We shall Law before o,r readers nov

" Weshall lay before our readers, next
week, portion of the exciting debate, in
the U. S. Senate, on the slavery question.
The debate originated on Mr.. Hale's motion
to bring in bill to make the district liable
for any property that might be destroyed
by riot or mob, in consequence of the
riotous gathering and threats to destroy the
Office of the "National Era," an abolition
paper, published at Washington and which
was occasioned by the recent kidnapping
of about 40 slaves at Washington.

PROGRESS OF THE REVOLUTIONS IN
EUROPE

The arrival every steamer brings news
Of the extension of the revolution, now in
progress, in Europe. If the spirit of de-
mocracy, which has SO suddenly over spread
Europe, within month past, should con-
tinuc short time longer, such things as
Kings and Queens will hardly find ga local
habitation and a name" and will be ranked
with things that were. Probably the most
singular feature in the progress of these e.
vents, is, the fact that the King of Prussia
has become the leader in these popular
movements. The king has exhibited, in
this, more tact and judgment than the world
has generally given him credit for. Find
ing dcspotism unpopular, he wisely adopts
liberalism. He has espoused the cause of
Poland, which Kingdom was most wickedly
dismembered by Russia, Prussia and Aus
tria, and the territory divided between
them. The Poles, who have bravely strug-
gled against fate, for the last half century,
"'' INV hheiy w icdiiLt tuciI IOIiS CiIcf-
ished horc--a restoration of their govern
ment. The Russians have ruled them with
a rod of iron. Warsaw, the Capitol, has
again thrown off the Russian yoke and its
destruction by the Russians soon followed.
Nicholas, Emperor, of Russia, is gathering
his forces ready for any emergency. A
general war in Europe seems almost inev-
table, and the great battle ground will no
doubt be Poland. Prussia and Austria will
no doubt peaceably disgorge their share Of
the spoil, in order to save what they are
entitled to, while Russia will be compelled
to yield to the force of circumstances
Lombardy, in Italy, has thrown off the
Austrian yoke and attached itselfto Sardin-
ia. Savoy has declared itself Republic.
In England, affairs are not much more
promising for king-craf. The Chartist
movement has SO alarmed the government,
that they scarcely know how to act. Ire
land is ripe for revolution, and ready to
act at moments warning.

ARRIVAL OF STEAMER NEW ORLEANS.
Arrival Of Gen. Kearney and Mr.. Sewer
Elections in Vera Crus--The Meeting of
Congress-Ratifcation Of the Treaty Doubt
fd, &c. &c.
The U. S. steamship New Orleans, Capt.
Edward Aud, arrived yesterday forenoon
from Vera Cruz, whence she sailed on the
evening of the 9th inst. She arrived at Vera
Cruz from this port on Thursday, the 9th inst,
and landed her distinguished passengers,
Gen. Kearney and the Hon. Mr.. Sewer, amid
salvos of artillery from the Castle, the frigate
and the forts in the city
Gen. Kearney was installed as Governor of
the State of Vera Cruz on Saturday, the 9Th
inst. He was TO receive the troops in and
around the city on Monday last.
MIR. Sewer left Vera Cruz on the s;h inst,
for the city of Mexico, under the escort of
Capt. Tilghman's command, about sixty
strong. We learn from Capt Aud that Santa
Anna did not sail till "Wednesday, the 5.h
inst. From the Arco Iris, we learn that he
took his passage on the Spanish brig Mar,ino
Capt Aud informs us tha, il was supposed
at Vera Cruz that Gen. Scott and suite and
MIR. Trist would leave Mexico about the 5,l
instant, ''the Court having adjourned lis sit
ting to the United States )" but in our repor
of the proceedings of the Sd, we find no an
nouncement of such an adjournment.

were Sc Deputies and 10 Senators present a
Queretaro. The Monitor says ii required on
ly Is more Deputies and Senators to form
quorum to proceed to business; but we re
gret to say that some members of Congress
had left Queretaro under preteN of reluc,anc,
to vote for the ratification of the treaty. From
the very earnest and indignant manner il
which the Star mentions this subject, we in
fer that the gravest appehensions are enter
tanned lest sufficient number of factious De
puties should withdraw to prevent quorum
from assembling.
THE MEXICAN BoNDs-The five millions
dollars in Mexican bonds which the house o
Manning & Macintosh expected to receive
in discharge of their loan of $500, 600 TO Sant'
Anna--who at the time was at the head o
the supreme government-have been dis
posed of at one million one hundred thousant
dollars. The purchaser is Senor Berstegan
He pays S5Oo,oOo in cash, 100000 in install

o. MILITIA TRANINGs.-We were in
error last week, in saying that militia train
ing have been abolished. The bill has pas
sed the Senate, but the House would not
pass it. Politicians find at these trainings,
fine opportunity for electioneering, and
will not, therefore readily consent to aban-
don them.

o. MAIL ARRANGEMENTs.- stated
last week, upon what we presumed good
authority, that there would be fast line
from Pottsville, through Danville to Will
Transport, in 2t hours, from Philadelphia,
and that the line from Northumberland,
would connect with the Cattawissa line,
and run through according to the old sched-
ule. We have, however, learned from
Mr.. Kapp, one of the proprietors, that they
may or may not run separate and distinct
line from Danville, at their option, but have
not yet determined to do so. The only
difference between the old and new ar
rangements, is, that the mail will leave
Northumberland at SIX in the morning, and
arrive at Pottsville at six in the evening, a.
bout three hours earlier than formerly.

FAREWELL ADDRESS OF SANTA ANNA.

Santa Anna, before he took his departure
from Mexico, wrote farewell address to his
fellow-ci,izens, which the Picayune has trans
| lated. 1t is a long and very well written pa
per, recounting all the sacrifices the writer
had made for his country, the disasters he
had met with in his various efforts to sustain
the honor of the country, and the causes of
them. The internal discords of the States,
the want of unanimity among the various
factions, the inadcquacy of the means that
he was furnished with, are given BY him as
the causes of his numerous defeats, while he
points with evident pride and satisfaction, to
his extraordinary march upon General Tay-
lor at Buena Vista, his rapid reorganization
! of the army after that defeat, and his meet.
ing the enemy at Cerro GorJo He says his
duty was ''to fight, not to conquer" The
world will certainly do him the Justice to say
that in the latter particular he faithfully per-
formed his duty. The defeat at the capital
and the overthrow of the third army that he
had organized, he attributes altogether to
disobedience and want of discipline in the
army. He fought as long as the national dig
nifty required. His enemies then raised a
shameful clamor against him, and to conci.
late the country he abandoned power. The
assertion that he sustained war only for pri-
vate ends, he indignantly repels; it was to
prevent the losses of territory and the dishon.
or and ruin of Mexicos political existence.
The war has terminated, and with it all his
hopes for the nation. He deals in dismal
forebodings of the future for Mexico, and
finds satisfaction and confirmation of his
views in the American capital have raised
their voices to warn them of their danger.

and humanity" The treaty is condemned
as thing to be "forever execrated,n by
which two-thirds of the national territory
has been sold for dish of lentils. A sh anne
tul and absurd armistice has been sanctioned
to consummate the iniquity. Here his grief
quite overcomes him, and he concludes in the
following mournful language:
"What recourse, therefore, remains, ci,i.
zens, for him who only returned TO his conn.
ty to satisfy the public wishes and to fight in
suppor, of the noble cause against the foreign
enemy! What is he to do who is pursued
in every direction! Retire to distant land
to bewai the immense misforiunes of the re.
public, since political passions and pal,ry in

over the holy cause of the country

THE ELECTION,

II seems an astonishing, aud indeed an
awe-inspiring thought, that a whole vast
people-twenty millions of souls--scattered
over an area of 100000 square miles,
should IN single day, between the rising and
setting OF the sun, by one concerted action ac-
compllsh, and that without any effort or vio-
lence, the mighty task OF changing their ru-
lers--revolutiouIzlng, So to speak, their
whole government, and deciding upon n
complete change of men and measures. Ii
Is still more astonishing that, within less
than twelve hours after the completion of
their task, the result should he known-or
so much OF 1t as to enable judicious calcula-
tors to announce the probable nature of the
change.
N was only on Tuesday the people of this
country held their election for President Of
the United States; and, on Wednesday
morning, with Intelligence pouring upon u
