 San Louis and Guadajara.-The Eco del Comercio of yesterday states that let ters received from these cities, as we'll as from Queretaro, go to show that revolu ton is on foot, headed by Paredes, aided by the Santa Annaists and monarchists. Paredes was concealed in San Luis, ant message had been sent to Quereiaro fol him to reside in that city. The writer of the letter in the Eco thinks the. Governor of San Luis is in connivance with Pare. des, and will favor his attempt at revolu- ton. ,-rJ .,,...4.;,..e, .,.,,.-, ...i1 If tt,,
 The same correspondent adds, that the rcvolutionists in Gqadalajara are quite an. iinated. They have the protection of the clergy--indced Farther Barajas is suppo- sed to be the soul of the movement. Bishop Aranda is said to be ignorant o the plot, and the Eco hopes that ii. Baralas lis culpable, they will bury him in a pris- on, because the mission of the clergy is the gospel, not take part in re. volutions. ssa sadsni As aUa5iaA q
 We doubt whether these movement: will amount to anything. Paredes is moi the man to head revolution in Mexico, at this time, and two such incongruou, materials as Santa Annaism and Paredes

 Coscailm--The Eco has extracts from letter dated on the 10th ut. at Coscat Ian, stating that Santa Anna has recuetl, been issuing permits to guerrilleros though he had not power to do so.

olution is the instant abolishment of sla- very in the French colonies. So between you and l, there is little hope that the vote ot . majority of the whig party in either house. will be thrown for any expression of American Congressional sympathies for the new French Republic. The de- mocracy, aided by fragments of whiggery, will, however, probably carry something of the kind.
 To-day, in the Senate, Foote had a per sonal altercation with Baldwin, which banged everything of the kind I ever heard there. Contrary to expectation, the whigs permitted the consideration of AL lens resolutions. without opposition, and contented themselves with opposing their passage when up. Niles was the princi- pal speaker against them. Dayton, how ever, helped him Their plea was, that any such expression was premature. AL len, Dickerson, Johnson of Ga. and others spoke on our side. i, Baldwin made his muss by interrupting Johnson to explain. In the course of his explanation he made a mean and snealSing allusion to Foote' S difficulty with Badger, which caused the former to handle him as man never was before handled on that floor. .af.) iI l Taylorism was the subject matter of the home debate of to-day, nominally on the West Point appropriation bill.

Will. son to carry him out of the country, but courteously declined.

The Comrt of Inqniry.

This tribunal, called by the War De. parment at the instance of Gen Scott has been progressing but slowly. We have received its eight days proceedings. The plain evidence has been given that Gen. Scott. Freaner and Trist have been colleagued together, since the chivalric battle of Cero Gorda, to bring about the destruction of one among the bravest and most worthy Generals in the American service. Rolled in all their attempts, un. til Gen. Scott thought ''he had him" on the "Leonidas' letter, he immediately called for Court Martial, but as Gen. Scott had been in the habit of taking "hasty plates of soup" the Department called a Court of Inquiry. Now, when this court progresses, and he sees that his proofs are not "so clear" as he at first supposed they were, as to the identification of Gen. Pil- lows writing in the said 'Leonidas letter. he turns the issue upon a few words that happened to be written in different hand- writing fro m that of the original, which his pets, Messrs. Freaner and Trist had instructed the editors of the N. o. Delta to save, as "they would have a use for it." And after this poor, feeble, and only accu- sation has been resorted to, which the ed- itors of the Delta could only give intorma- ton as to who made the interlineations, the editors make the following comment upon the matter, which we think is suffi- cicnt to justify us in saying, that not the first single transaction nthis court has re- flccted the least spark of credit upon Scott, 'Frist or F'reancr, but that Gen. Pillow, like pure metal, the ';more it is rubbed tho brighter it shines" and will come out oI this battle of tho ''plates of nasty soup.'' unscathed: ."GEN. PILLow.-We consider it due to Gen. Pillow to correct a misapprehen- sion which scenes to have possessed Gen. Scott and Mir Trist, in regard to the interlineations in the Leonidas letter known as No. 3 in the charges. These interliniations were made by the editor ol this paper, in claim and exercise, of cor recting and improving the language of anonymous communications. The inter- lineatons cid not essentially alter or af. feet the substance of the narrative, but somewhat improved it, according to our judgement. We think it highly probable, from the direct testimony, as well as from other circumstances, that the letter No. 3, or the real Leondas letter, was written without the cognizance or participation oI Gen Pillow. Ofthe letter No. l, which is certainly very similar to ,Leonidas, we know nothing. But having in our pos session proof of Gen. Pillows innocence iG regard to the interlineations in the Leonidas letter, we think it our duty to make the statement we have made.

0r Listen, ye whigs of little faith, to the dictums of the Montgomery Journal. Can the honest whigs in Alabama, whose liberty and right it is to support Henry Clay as their choice for the Presidency, stand to be accused of aiding the nomina- ton of man so objectionable as Tom Corwin, to the Presidency. The Journal in its tirade against the Clayites, says: 'It is not so much love for Henry Clay as il is for Tom Corwin, that urges them for. ward" On no, Southern men, Clayitcs of course, are aiding Tom Corwin to the Presidency, and that "eyery movement made in favor of Mir. Clay is but paving the way for Tom Corwin's nomination" 1" This samcJ ournal would seem determined to run down the throat of every whig in AL alama, Gen. Tayls r,immaterial how bitter the pillmight be, and seems determined to read all those honest whigs who intimate preference Tfor Clay, into the Corwin ranks and out of the Clay church. Il even goes so far as to say that these same whigs will, when it comes to the pinch, take Corwin in preference to General Taylor. We do not wish to be an inter. meddler in this family quarrel, but it does seem that the language and conduct O that concern towards men of the South and whigs who support Henry Clay as 5 matter of right, is both disgusting and , gross libel.

They had not been long in the store before they were discovered, and conse- quently did not make as 'large haul'' as they no doubt would have done, if time sufficient had been given them. The loss, we learn, was but trifling. It has been as- certaincd that negroes were the perpetra- tors.

0T The Taylor presses throughout the country, are out upon Bolts and his late letter to the whigs of Virginia. placing him in a position that we are confident he gives them no thanks for, nor do the loco- iocos, whose party purposes they say he is serving, think it much of compliment. Mir. Bolts. like an honest politician, gives to the whigs of Virginia his honest opin- ions. and for this, we suppose, the whig presses which have been inveigled into the support of General Taylor, must abuse him as hypocrite and disturber of the party. Surely the position taken by this soft-sided portion of the whig press, is un- excusable-dealing towards their politi- cal brothers in manner lily becoming mon who claim the same platform. The result can well be predicted. This plat form, which they arc making so much noise and fuss about, will, about the first of November next, turn out to be con- plete deadlall to both the Taylorites and Clayites.

Dear Haray .---In your last paper, and in fact in the two or three last num- bers, have noticed with no little pleas- ure the merited rebukes and severe casti- gations which you have bestowed upon that ape of the Montgomery Journal, J.. j. II. My object is to place you on the right track. Would you believe it, if were to tell you that Democratspad his ex- penses in Montgomery, last session. x x * As you say, Hooper got defeated in his aspirations before the Senate, but 10 and behold, he steps back into Mir. A. B. ClitheraPs room and becomes his wirate secretary. And this will account, l think, for the severe verses which eminated from that quarter against Matt. Davis, and the poetical efiusions generally. For acting as Clitheral's prirale secretary, the House allowed J. J. Hooper only $4 per day, for writing poetry against Democratic mem. bers., You will see when the acts come out. **.
 Comment from us is unnecessary. Sc he did aeorm himself in at last, indcpen- dent of the castigations of the Senate.- How long, in the name of Heaven, will Democratic members of either branch oI the Legislature continue to vote for men to office, who will continue to employ such ''mutfins" us this same Hooper, at the e1. pense of the public crib!

In the Mexican Journal of the 23rd ult., is the second epistle of the " Demagogues of the Alabama Legislature" the subject of which is another Democratic Senator. The Hon. Mir. Scott, of Jackson county, is made the second object of blackguard. ism. Not satisfied with vomiting forth his abuse upon Mir. Davis of Limestone, the black berry yegitation has to continue his trade still further. Making the mos' siandcrous charges, and dealing as usual in his billingsgate blacksuardism, upon the private character of Mir. Scott, We have been pleased to sec that all the press. es throughout the State have reprobated the conduct of that foul blasphemer in a manner, so much merited. As we have said before, the author of these tirades up. on private character has been induced in this way, to satisfy a revenge upon demo- cratic members of the State Senate, jus because they would not vote for him fol an office, which he was, from debaucher, and dissipation, incapacitatedto fill.
