FROM MPICO,

By an arrival here yesterday from
Tampico the 9th inst, we have received
the Defensor of that city TO the 9Th inst.
inclusive.
That paper announces that Gen. Ca.
males is to be brought to trial by order
Of the President Of the Republic, for
the murder of Don Ignacio Flores, whom
he captured some time back august 2O)
and shot, under the pretence that he
was engaged in revolutionary pIots
against the State of Tamaulipas. The
Deiensor still continues its attacks on
Don ]. Cardenas, thefGovernor of Tam
aulipas, and Gen. Arista, the Secretary
Of War, for upholding Canales in the
@Iatier's atrocities. Flores, it appeas
was, at the breaking out of the
war between the United States and Mex.
leo, an extremely rich and estlmabIe
individual. When General Taylor was
about laying siege to Monterey, Flores
lent the Government $4,000, which
sum was applied to the support of the
troops under Gen. Ampudia. He sub
%sequently went 10 Mexico TO reclaim
payment, when he was made a General
by Santa Anna, in order to induce him
to wait the convenience of the Govern.
ment to liquidate the debt. He then
accepted a mission to the South, where,
under Alvarez, he acted for a while
Unfortunately. he acquired those revo-
lutionary tendencies which led 10 his
premature death. Canales manifested
great ferocity in executing him, and
besides, violated a fundamental article
of the constitution, by shooting without
the forms Of a trial. That officer is act
cused ofhurying the unfortunate Flores
to his grave, through the desire to appro.
pirate the money the latter had about
him at the time Of his capture. which
is said 70 be $4,000. Flores, althougb
a native Of the South, was related 6v
marriage to the principal families Of

From santa Fee.

Letters have been received in this
city from Santa Fe to the 3Olh of Octo-
Der. They confirm, in every particu
lar, intelligence Of the murder Of Mr..
]. N. White, Mr.. Galloway, and others
on the Santa Fe road, the capture Of
Mrs. White and her daughter by the In.
dams. EIf Mrs. White had been killed,
says one Of these letters, it would have
been a misfortune only, but as it is-a
captive, at the mercy and liable to any
indignity which the indians may see
proper to commit is horrible. She
can only be obtained from her captors
by negotiation. Fighting will never
get her away from them. After she is
secured, however, then will be the mo-
ment to destroy all of lhem-not one OF
them should be permitted to live,
The news reached Santa Fe the night
of the 29th October, and next morning
Mr.. Aubry wrote 10 Vegas, Mora river,
Taos and other places, directing his
friends 10 send out Pueblo Indians, OF
Mexicans, to negotiate for the return OIL
the unfortunate lady and daughter, and
authorized them to draw on him for one
thousand dollars, and if the expense;
were over that amount the citizens c
Santa Fe were expected to pay then
cheerlully. But it is feared that the
Indians would ask a still greater amour
for their liberation. The father of Mrs
White resides in Virginia, is said to bC
wealthy.
The Indians are said to have killeC
thirty-six men belonging toa California

the Copper mines. Some troops iron

INTERESTING FACT IN GRATING DIR. Hamel,
the celebrated French pomologist and horti-
culterist, engra(led a young lemon of the size
Of a pea, upon the branch Of an orange tree.
1t grew there, r%ipened, and had all the qualities
of a lemon, without partaking of any Of the
properties Of the orange. It is evident, in this
instance, that the stalk of the lemon changed
the color, taste, and smell of the juices of the
orange tree. And from this experiment W.
have reason to conclude that all the different
figures, %colors, tastes and smells, which we
find in different plants, are formed in the plants
themselves.
