New MExIco.-The new constitu-
ton made by the mixed breed con-
vention of Spaniards and Indians,
with sprinkling of Americans, at
Santa Fe, was to be submitted to a
vote on the Goth June. The elections
were to take place at the same time
for members of the Legislature,
Governor and Lieutenant Governor
OF the State, and a Representative in
Congress. Thuy seem to be very
sure that the constitution will be
adopted. Short work this. The first
meeting urging the call of conven-
ton was held on the 10Th of April,
and in sixty days they will have is
sued notices, called convention,
elected delegates, held convention,
made constitution, held another
election to confirm and adopt it, and
elected all the State officersl We
should call this very rapid work for
the compact little State of Delaware
which a good horseman could ira
verse from end to end, and cross-ways
and all round in week. In New
Mexico it is wonderful, considering
that the sovereigns are scattered over
wide and unsettled region, without
mails ormeans of fcommunication and
nne--tenths of them utterly ignorant
OF what constitution is, and many of
them ignorant of the languages which
the others speak. What mongro
materials for Staten. o. Pic.
The Baltimore Patriot as good
reason for believing that the alleged
insult offered by the Spanisl Minis
ter, General Navaez, to the Ameri-
can Minister at Madrid, is sheer
fabrication. Private letters dated
from June 18Th to Goth, have been
received by the last steamers, in
which no mention is made of such an
occurrence. On the contrary, an ac-
count is given of the participation of
Mr.. Barringer and lady in diplo-
matte presentation, on the 18th, 10
the Duchess of Montpensier, sister of
the Queen, (only lately arrived at
Madrld) where their reception is spo-
ken of as highly courteous and salts
factory. The occurrence ofany such
outrage, as that spoken ofin the En-
glish papers would of course have
precluded any relation between Mr..
Barringer and the Spanish Govern
ment, other than that of demanding
and receiving an apology.
The WIG REvIEw.-The Ma
con (Ga.) Journal and Messenger,
one OF the most thorough-going Whig
papers in the South, gives the follow
ing frst-rate notice of this periodicals:
We desire to call the attention of
our readers to the June number of
the Wing Review, and particularly
to a biographical sketch of VIM. HI.
Seward. The article abounds il
Abolition sentiments of the grossest
and most infa nous kind. Ii is lust
such paper as ought not to be circu-
lated in the Southern States, and we
trust that every subscriber i'm Geor-
gla will at once direct its discontinue
ance. We have no doubt, from
what we can learn, that there has
been aplan concocted at the North,
by which Seward is to be brought
forward as the Free Soil candidate for
the next Presidency. The Review,
from present Indications, is to be one
OF his organs. The sooner, there
fore, it is banished from the Southern
States the better
