From Acapulco.

ASAh 4aGdtIu1CC.
The Panama Star and Herald, by the arrival
Of the steamship Madison at that port, had re-
ceiyed later advices from Acapulco relative to
Santa Anna and Alvarez.
Santa Anna broke up his camp on the 26th Of
April retreating towards the city of Mexico,
During the encampment of Santa Anna near
Acapulco, he had several light skirmishes with
the reVolutionists, resulting only in killing two
or three on either side, and a bombardment of
the castle, the bombs doing no damage, falling
rather short
lie then sent a flag of truce to the castle, de-
handing the peaceable surrender. The bearers
were sent back to Santa Anna, by the COM
mander of the castle, General Comfort, to say
he would send his answer After consulting his
command, (about $50 or 200,) his answer was
sent IN discharge of round shot into the camp
OF Santa Anna, killing six men and taking an
arm off of another
During his withdrawal, Santa Anna expected
to be attacked whilst passing some defiles in the
mountains, sent the litter in which he had IRE.
vlousiy been conveyed along with his army, and
took more circuitous route on horseback, to
the place they We're marching.
A severe shock of an earthquake was exnari
enced at Acapulco on the morning of the 9Th
inst. no damage done.
We have received much more interesting news
from various quarters, which we are compelled
to postpone the publication of until our next

\ THE FRAMIRs OF THK CONSTITUTION
AND SLAvERY.-Messrs. Editors The jour-
nal of the Convention to frame the present
Constitution of the United States exhibits
the following facts in connexion with the
subject of slavery:
The first committee on the subject con-
sisted OF Rutledge, of South Carolina, Ran
dolph, of Virginia, Wilson, of Pennsylvania,
Gorham, of Massachusetts, and Ellsworth,
of Connecticut and they reported, as
section for the Constitution shat no tax
or other duty shall be laid on migration or
importation Of such persons as the several
States shall think proper to admit, nor shall
such migration or importation be prohibit
ed"
This was the first action of the Conven-
ton on the slavery question and it will be
seen that committee, the majority of which
were from what are strong anii-slavery
States, reported against any future prohi-
bition of the African slave trade, but were
willing to legalize it perpetually.
THIS section was subsequently referred
to committee, selected by ballot, consist
ing of Langdon, of New Hampshire, King,
of Massachusetts,, Johnson, of Connecticut,
Livingston, Of New Jersey, Clymer, Of
Pennsylvania, Dickson, of Delaware, Mar
tin Of Maryland, Madison, OF Virginia, Will
hanson, of North Carolina, Pinckney, of
South CAROLINA, and Baldwin, of Georgia.
This committee, majority of which
were from Stare States, (then and now,)
reported the clause with authority to Con-
gress to prohibit the slave trade after the
year 1900, and in the mean time with au-
thority to levy tax on such importations.
This section was afterwards modified and
adopted as it now exists in the Constitution,
extending the time before which Congress
could not prohibit the trade until 1903
Massachusetts,, New Hampshire, and Con-
necticut, free States, and Maryland, North
and South Carolina, Slave States voting for
the extension ; New Jersey and Pennsyl-
vanis, free States, and Delaware and Vir-
ginia, slave States, voting against it.
From the above it appears
lst. A committee, the majority of which
were from free STATES, reported in favor of
denying to Congress the power at any peri
cd to prohibit the African slave trade.
2. That subsequent committee, a ma
jorily of which were from the Slare States,
reported new section authorizing Co gress
to abolishing the trade after the year 1900.
Sd. That this period was extended until
the year 1903, thus giving eight additional
years to the traffic. by the vote Of New
Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Connecti-
cut, whilst the vote of Virginia was against
such extension.
Were the representatives in that Con-
vention from these three New England
States less virtuons or less patriotic than
those of the present day, and would it not
be as well for the latter, when Illuminating
their anti-slavery anathemas, to recollect
how their sires voted and acted ON The ques-
ton, and that their curses may, according
to the Arabian proverb, "like young chick
ems, come home to roost ?"--National Iniel-
ligencer.

FLOUR AND WHEAT DEcLINING.-The
declining tendency of the market for Flour
and Wheat, noticed yesterday, continued
to-day, and prices at this Mornings market
were 25 80 cents lower for Flour, and s
a 10 cents for Wheat With increasing
receipts and entire absence ofany demand
for export, the prospect of materially lower
prices within short period, is highly en-
couraging. Prices of Breadstuffs have
been ridiculously high for the past three
months, and this sudden breakdown will be
good news to every family in town, more
especially everybody in INDECENT circum-
stances. The attention of bakers is re-
spectfully directed TO this important decline

no An unusual number of people,
summer visitors, have already either engag-
ed private houses, or are making arrange
ments to do so, in this city, for next sea-
son. In fact we have never known so
large number engaged, at any previous
autumn. In consequence of the depres-
sion in the money market and other causes,
of a public financial nature, but little land
has been sold here this season, and there
probably will not be many sales during the
autumn some few have been made, and
those at as large prices as at any previous
year, which, of itself plainly shows that
real estate is as valuable here now, not
wiihstanding this depression, as it has been
at any period during the last five years.
Owners hold at the sane prices, and those
who would like to buy are willing to give
the amounts asked, but they do not deem it
prudent to invest large sums in real estate
in the country,with the improvements which
they would desire to make while financial
affairs are so unsettled. If holders saw fit
10 sell for small advance in cash and the
balance secured by mortgage, we are conf
dent that sales to the amount of three hun
dred thousand dollars could be effected
within the next thirty days; but they pre-
fer to hold on, feeling. well assured that
they can obtain higher prices another sea-
son, or as soon as the money market shall
become more settled ; and we think that,
under oil circumstances, they pursue
wise course,-because it is now fixed fact
that Newport is the great and permanent wa
tering-place Of America and nothing can ev-
er deprive her Of the hold which she has
upon the wealthy pleasure-seekers of the
country. Too much money has already
been invested here in splendid residences
hx many of the best families in the country,
'YoPthe tide ever to turn and then, in addi-
ton 10 all this, the natural advantages of
Newport give it pre-eminent claim over
all other watering-places.

A DELICATE SEARcH.-The St. Louis
Herald states case of young lady of mos.
undoubted respectability, who entered a
shoe store in that city, and asked to be
shown some gaiter boots IA number were
shown to her which she examined and tried
on. While the attention of the storekeeper
was occupied with another customer, sever
al pairs of the CATERS disappeared. The
lady concluding not to pnrchase, he was
compelled to accuse her of secreting his
shoes she denied it, and he insisted, and
proceeded to search, and found several pairs
suspended by hooks which were attached
TO the lady's garters. He took from their
hooks those belonging to him, and left there
severel others, which had no doubt been
taken from other stores. She was allowed
to depart.

marks-"The general style Of this gospel
is characterized by an equality OF tone. a
tranquility and self-colectedncss, and Il
