From Mexico.
New York, Dec. L.

NEW YORK, Dec. l.. g.,
Advices have been received from the
city of Mexico up to the 18th ultimo. ;.
Gen. Gandara, whose defeat by the rev..
olutionists in Sonora was reported from
California, had put himself at the head Of
500 Indians and captured the town of Hor-
calitas.
Gen. Morens expected to fight decisive
battle with the insurgent at Peubla, on the
5th.
Many of the Government officers have
been shot in battle by the Pronunciados.
Great outrages by the Indians are re-
ported. They had murdered DR.. Deers,
an American, and all his family near Mon
terey.
The Indians had also defeated the gov
ernment troops at Rosario.
The Santiago river had risen and inun-
dated the valley of Haxcalla.. -.
An invasion of Spain was still feared,
and the people were preparing for a stout
resistance.
England's expected naval demonstration
was looked upon as pretty certain to take
place.
Herald's correspondence dated Washing
ton, Nov. 30th, says movement will be
made early in the session for the amend
ment of the Canadian reciprocity, for the
repeal of the act giving it effect. To this
end, call will be made on the Secretary
of the Treasury for information as to the
working of the treaty, and it is believed
it will show that the United States have
lost largely as far as revenue is concerned,
while the Canadians have received all the
benefits
The amendments sought is to- enlarge
the free list between the two countries 10
all articles actually grown BY each respee-
lively. This will include tobacco and su-
gar, which are now excluded, from the dm
ties on which the Canadian government
is manly supported. In ease the Canadian
government refuses to accept this amend
ment, then notice is to be given so as to
put IN end to the treaty.

The Charleston Mercury has a very clear and
vivid appreciation of the power, though If

The steamer Quaker City, from Havana
the 35th inst. arrived this morning.
1t was reported in Havana that Gen. Con-
cha had been re-appointed Captain Gener-
al for the next three years.
FRANcE.-The event of the week is a
semi-offieial editorial in the Constitutional,
on the questions at issue between the
French and English Governments. This ar
ticle speaks plainly, and says: "The pres
ence Of the naval squadron of England in
the Black Sea, and of the Austrians in the
Pnncipalities, are henceforth only an arbi-
trary and violent means of preventing So
luton of the differences. which Russia has
been the first to propose, in offering to sub
init the question to its natural judges. 1t
is desired rather to have recourse to arms?
Is war again desiredl Does the English
Minister itch to enter again into hostihties
without France-not certainly to assure the
execution of the treaty of Paris, but i'm
prudently to rend it in pieces in the face of
the world, with the object of satisfying an
ambition that had been for the moment
disguised' We repeat, it now depends
upon the cabinets of London and Vienna
to put an end to the pending disputes and
to terminate the anxieties to which the
present situation gives rise. Let their con-
sent to the re-assembling of the Plenipo-
tentiaries be given without making arbitra-
ry and inadmissable exclusiveness condi-
tion-exclusions which would change the
character and be an additional breach of
the treaties. Let us add that if peace
full solution is desired, this is the only pro-
posal for that purpose that can be decent
ly made"
1t has been rumored for some days back
in Paris that the French fleet was about to
proceed to the Black Sea. This, however,
is not certain. The fleet may perhaps
leave Toulon, but it is not probable that
it will 60 so far. Should it 90 to the
Black Sea, it is difficult to suppose that
this object could be cooperation with the
British Squadron.

The Kansas Herald of Freedom Of Nov.
22d, speaks hopefully Of the future, es-
peciaIlv in the falling out between Gov.
Gearv and the other Territorial officials.
II has hope that Gov. Gealy will now re-
cognize the rights of Free State settlers as
well as Pro-siavery men.
The result of the Presidential election
was very disheartening to the Free State
people in Kansas, but the Herald expresses
the opinion that it will only lead to great
er diligence and efforts to secure Freedom
to the Territory by increasing the popula-
ton from the Free States. So NAV it be.
Relief for the destitute in Kansas, made
such by Border Rufiamism, is coming for
ward liberally. T. Hayatt, Esq, Presi-
dent of the National Convention, is in
Kansas, and two hundred boxes of cloth
ing, valued in the aggregate at about Sl3,
600, have been forwarded to Kansas, tbro'
the National Committee at Chicago, for
the relief of needy. The Kansas Central
Committee are purchasing 5000 sacks of
-four, and a proportional quantity of gro
eeries, to supply those who are absolutely
in want. They hope TO be able to feed all
the destitute in the Territory, with the sup
plies being purchased, until May next.
The weather for ten days previous to
the 22d had been delightful.
Over million of acres of public lands,
known as the Kickapoo lands, lying north
west of the Delaware Trust Lands: also a
quantity south of the Shawnee Reserva-
ton, have been turned over to the Register
of the Land Office, by the Surveyor Gen
eral and will soon be open to preemptors
The new elected Territorial Legislature
will meet at Lecompton on the second
Monday of January. The Free State vo-
tiers took no part in the election of these
Missouri representatives in Kansas, and
Congress made no appropriation to pay
them. They will probably make the back
code still blacker
We are glad to note that the Southern
Kansas emigrants, who went to the Terri
tory to vote and rob, murder and drive
out the Free State settlers, are getting sick
of the job and the country, and are going
back to niggerdom. The St. Louis De-
mocrat of Thursday last says:
The Southern Kansas ennigrants, it seems
are quitting the territory about as numer-
ously as they flocked to it. The steamer
E. A. Ogdon, which reached the city yes
terdy, had on board about two hundred of
them, all on their way back to their old
homes, and most thoroughly disgusted
with a country so close to the North Pole

Testimonial Of Respect.

The term of the Court of Common Pleas
which closed its session here last week, be-
ing the last at which Judge NJ. WELKEn
would preside, a number of his friends, with
out distinction of party, rendered him a
supper, of which they all partook. as tes-
timonial of their respect for him as man,
and their appreciation of his irmness and
fidelity as a Judge. The supper was got
up by mine host of the "Empire" in good
style, and that the company appreciated it
was evidenced by the way they ate
Speeches were made, toasts drank. and the
best of good feeling prevailed.

Daniel McClain- an Irishman.

Daniel McClain, an Irishman, died in
New York, last Tuesday, (26th,) from in
.uries received on election day, at the hands
of Dennis and Bernard Lowden, also Irish
men. McClain, though Catholic, refused
to vote for the Catholic candidate for Al
derman in his ward. This provoked the
two Lowdens, Catholics, and they attack
ed him with great violence, knocked him
down, jumped upon his breast and abdo-
men, and stamped upon his head with
their heavy brogans until life was nearly
extinct.

One OF THE BETs.-One of the most
amusing instances of betting on the late
election which has come to light, was by a
German in Chicago, who bet his house, lot
and wife and baby, that Mr.. Fremont would
be elected. After hearing the result he
took his deeds, wife and child, and made
a tender of all in good faith. But his
friend having wife and five children, re-
fused to increase his stock in that way, and
therefore declined to take the poor mans
family and property, but gave him piece
of advice, took drink Of beer, and parted
good friends.

Fillibustering Democracy.

Ihe result OF the election has shown that
the power of Democracy is broken at the
North, and the necessity for the manufac-
ture of more Slave States is urgent
Hence, even before Mr.. BUcHANAN's inau-
guration, the party intend to inaugurate
his Ostend doctrine Cuba and Central
America are more than ever coveted, and

made to insure our ascendancy in the Gulf
of Mexico"
In response TO this toast, SwEETzER, of

W AbHINETUN, NOV. 20.
The Democratic papers are congratulat-
ing themselves that they have secured a
large majority of the House of Representa-
tives, thus completing the machinery nee
essary for the successful Administration
TO be inducted on the 4th of March. This
claim can have no other foundation than
the assumption that all party divisions
have ceased at the South, and that the
Slave States have united themselves in a
compact sectional organization for the con-
troll of the Government. This may be
true, but if so, the truth can only be shown
by experience. The Congressional cleo
tions thus far have resulted as follows:
