prOueriv.

The fact that the insurgents at Puebla had sur
rendered to the forces Of President Comonfort has
already been announced. Il appears that all the
officers of the insurgents have been reduced to the
ranks as common soldiers. Comonfort has issued
decree placing the ecclesiastical property Of
Puebla, valued at $50, 200, 900, under government
control, and its revenue win be appropriated to
the reimbursement Of the Republic for the expense
OF the campaign. The clergy of Puebla, who are
charged with exciting the rebellion will suffer to
the tune OF some three millions of dollars. Co
monfort, on his return to the capital, was received
with an enthusiasm never before witnessed All
the streets we're gaily decked with flowers and
banners and he received unanimous vote Of
thanks from Congress,

The london Times ON Cen. Cass.

lhe LOnOOn Times ON Ten. Lass
The London Times, after quoting from one Of
Gen.. Cass's late war speeches, " his eIhortations
to brotherly love, and his own exemplifcation of
that virtue" says:
The only comment we make, is to ask the
American public--which, on our word, we believe
to be very like the British public-whether Mr.
Cass is genuine specimen of the American dove,
and his speech is a true sprig from the American
olive? We have too much respect for the United
States to believe that Mr.. Cass is anything but Mr.
Cass--a uery Incorporate and very foul-,nouthed
old Jello,o."
The article concludes as follows
To the general question, apart from the agree.
able episodes imported into it by this amicable
peace-maker, have only to call the attention of
the Americans to two or three points, which they
may take on word. The British people bear
no ill-will whatever to the Americans they have
no designs whatever against them, and take quite
as much pleasure in hearing of the unbounded ex-
tension of the Anglo-Saxon family, language, COM
merce, religion and laws in the New World, as the
Americans can possibly do themselves.
They don't think it worth while to rake up the
histories OF the American wars and are almost to
man Of opinion that the Americans were in the
right to assert their independence, and deserved
all their success. They would certainly feel a war
with the United States to be an unnatural, dis
creditable, and inevitably unfortunate one, mas
much as neither side could gain honor by it, nor
any advantage which peace will not bring sponta-
neously in time. They are of opinion that two
such great, populous, wealthy and energetic States
could not possibly 60 to war without inflcting
great losses upon one another, and that such is
our common interest in peace, that the triumpbs
and disasters of either side would be almost indif
ferently disasters to the other. They would much
prefer that neither side should suffer any loss of
honor; they are, however, bound to look after
themselves, and only desirous to make no great
er concessions to the United States than they would
to any great European State. The gentleman whose
speech we have commented on above, says that
the public press, and in particular, are faithful
exponents of public opinion in this country. On
his own showing, then, we appeal to the American
public to accept our assurance that we have no
other wish whatever than to get out of these ques
tions without improper and needless humiliation;
but that we certainly shall think it due to our
character and position not to make greater con-
cessions to the United States than we should to
any other power in the world"

Mr.. FILLMoRE AND HIS NoMrsArIoS.-Th cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Ledger, writing
from Rome on the goth ultimo, says:
The news Of Mr.. Filmore's nomination by the
Americans" was received here on Monday last,
and caused great rejoicings 1t was announced to
him bya numerous body of friends, but had not the
least influence on him, who really seems to be the
most imperturbable man ever saw in my life. He
returned the other day from Naples, in very good
health and fine spirits, and will return ea-ly this
summer to the United States.
Balls and festivals have been given to him all
over Europe, and at this distance from home,
where party fealings naturally subsde, and Ameri-
can sentiments naturally become the only ones dis
tinguishable to patriots, it is no exaggeration on
my part TO say, that Mr.. Fillmore has no enemy on
this side Of the water, where every American U
use the term in its legitimate, most extensive
meaning) is proud to see himself so handsomely
represented in the person of our worthy, dgni6ed,
selfpossessed Ex-President.

has been recently appointed Professor of Ancient
and Modern History in Harvard University, and
win spend some time in Europe previous to enter
ing upon his charge. Professor Torrey Is grad
uate of Harvard Of the class of 1888, and one oi
the most accurate classical scholars ever gradu-
ated from that University. His whole life has been
devoted to study and reflection, and his accession
to the corps of Professors at Harvard may well be
regarded as auspcious to the future welfare of that
venerable institution.
Professor Torrey is native of Plymouth, Mas
sachusetts, and is descended, in the maternal line,
from Edward Winsow and Richard Warren, who
came out in 1920 in the Mayfower. His great

Convention, the great question will come up, Shall
the time-honored principle Of a two-third vote be
adhered tor, shall this rule be rescinded, and
a mere majority vote sufice9 It says there is no
doubt effort will be made to substitute the ma
joity rule for the twothirds rule, in spite of all
precedent, and the authority and sanction Of the
oldest and most honored names of the Democratic
party who, for the last quarter of century, have
followed this rule for the regulation and govern

Being strongly impressed that the intentions OF
our government in relation to the Recruitment DIFF
fculty are truly disclosed-indeed, were intended
to be understood as dsclosed-in letter from this
city to the Journal of Commerce, we consider it
due to our readers to lay the essential portions Of
the letter before them
WASHINGTON, Wednesday, April is.
"The Executive Government INDUCES in the
hope that the British Ministry will see the propri-
ETY. of compliance with the demand made in Mr..
Marcys letter of the 2sth December for the recall
Of Mr.. Champion and the three Consuls"
Whatever may be the opinion of the press in
New York on this subject, there is but one in the
Senate and in the administration to-wit: that the
British Government has, as yet, rendered no ade-
quate or acceptable apology for the conduct Of her
officials for the infringement of our laws" -
The answer Of the British government cannot
be much longer delayed and now wish to say,
that it is positively certain that Mr. Champion will
be Immediately dismissed In case he be not recall
ed, let what may be the consequences As to
these consequences, l have word to say, in con-
nexion with the parallel case of the dismissal OF
Sir Henry Bulwer by the Spanish government In
I848"
This letter bears to our minds internal evidence
of authenticity, and we have no doubt the writer
had the best authority for his statements so far at
least, regards the feelings and purposes of the
Erscutiue. As to what he says Of the unanimity
of the Senate on the subject we must entertain
some doubt National Inteihgencer.
RECIPRocIrY.-There is now bill pending be-
fore the Canadian Parliament making change in
the Patent Laws, so that the citizens of the Uni
ted States can. obtain patents on the same terms,
and for the same inventions, designs, &C., as can
Her Majestys subjects resident in the provinces.
This will be great benefit to our citizens as they
now have to pay such heavy fees that few avail
themselves Of the privilege.
The bill has passed the second reading, and there
hangs, as doubts were entertained as to whethe,
the United States and other countries would re
ciprocate If these privileges granted to their
citizens.
The following resolution introduced IN the Sen
ate by Mr. Sumner, yesterday, will probably re
move all doubt as to reciprocation on the part O
the United States, in which case the Canadian
Parliament will undoubtedly pass the bill:
" Resoived, That the Committee on Patents and
the Patent Office be instructed to consider the ex
pediency of amending the Patent laws so far m tt
allow the inhabitants Of the neghboring British
Provinces to enjoy the benefits Of these laws OF
equal footing in all respects with citizens Of thu
United States"
The articles specified in the Canadian act, 70
which citizens of the United States, and othe
countries can obtain letters patent, are manufac
tures, designs, works of art and ornament, and Il
fact all the articles which can be patented in thi
country.

Fer Annapolis.

The President and Secretary of the Navy left
town yesterday afternoon for Annapolis. A large
number Of the members of both Houses left this
morning for the same place, to inspect the new
steam frigate Merrimac, now lying in Annapolis
harbor.
Annapolis Is one Of the most interesting cities
in the Union. Before the Revolution II was re-
garded as the most beautiful town in the Colonies
As 1t has changed very little since the members of
the present Congress who visit It to-day may form
very just idea Of an ante te-Revolutionary town.
We orly regret that 1t is too carly in the season
for them to form an equally adequate idea of soft
crabs-the post-Reyolutonary as well as the ante
Revolutionary luxury of Annapolis.
In colonial times, Annapolis was the winter res
dence of many of the prominent landhoders of
the Province of Maryland. They erected many Of
those fine old mansions which are yet the pride
and ornament Of the city, and within their ample
walls dispensed those hospitalities for which Ma
ryland has ever been renowned. The Calverts
the Lloyds, the Ogles, the Bladens, the Dulanys,
the Taskers, the CAROLS, the Pacas, the Edens
the Tilghmans and many other families Of dstinc-
ton, formed society in Annapolis unsurpassed
for elegance and refinement by that of any other
town in the colonies
The drama was established In Annapolis, nearly
century ago, by the elder Hallam ; and the colo
nial governors ogle and Sharpe imported about the
same time, horses Of tho best blood in England
which soon began to show itself on the Annapolis
race course. It could also boast of the finest hotel
in America during the Revolution and singular as
II may seem, the building is still occupied for the
same purpose, and is still the principal hotel in
Annapolis.

British Materials for American History.
A memorial, asking an appropriation to enable
MIR. b. s. Somerby to select and take copies, for
preservation at Washington, of certain papers ex-
isting in the British State Paper Office, in London,
was recently presented in the Senate by Mr.. Clay
ton.
There are upwards of two thousand folio volumes
Of manuscript in the archives of the British Gov
ernment, containing vast amount of valuable and
unpublished matter relating to the history of the
founding and progress of the original States of the
Union, and illustrating almost every possible Incl
dent, public and private. during our dependency
on the mother country.
These records show the origin, character and
position Of the individual colonists the physical,
moral, and religious history of the founders Of the
nation; the men who determined its character /;
the periods and amount of emigration; the pro-
ducts of the country; the course and changes OF
trade the amount and increase Of navigation from
time to time the revenue laws and their opera
ton.
They throw light on the history Of the aborigi.
mes and the mutual relations of the Indians and
the colonists.
They contain copies, and in many cases the orr
ginal records, Of the legislative assemblies of the
colonies occasionally supplying hiatus in our own
records; the private and official correspondence of
the Royal Governors and subordinate officers of
the Grown; the reports and res geste OF cases ap-
pesled from the Colonies to the higher Judicial tr
bunals at home, often involving the titles and
boundaries of large tracts of territory, occasionally
Of towns, counties, or even Colonies, original char
and surveys
Though these documents are in possession Of
the English government they belong peculiarly to
the history OF our country and the convenience Of
this government and Of our statisticians and his
torica students renders It desirable that copies Of
them should be preserved at Washington, where
they may be consulted at the smallest expense Of
time and money.
