Address Of Governor Marvin.

Before the Florida Convention adjourned, a
committee was appointed to wait upon Governor
Marvin and inform him that they were about to
adjourn, and invite him to address the Conven-
ticn.
The committee returned. accompanied by Gov
ernor Marvin, who said he was glad to hear their
labors were ended, and was also happy to be able
to saw to the Convention that their action met
with his full appreciation. both as Provisional
Governor and as a citizen Of the State Of Florida
He said there were some few things he would
have preferred to have different, but in the main
thew had done nobly. He was particularly
pleased that the right of testimony had been
granted TO the colored people, and that it was in
corporated in the constitution. All the other
conventions of which he had knowledge had eva.
ded the question, leaving the matter to be settled
by the legislature. This he could not but think
was mistake. The President and the country
expected different action.
He wished success TO all these States in gain
inc admission to the Union, but feared their ac
ton in this matter would cause them delay. The
State Of Florida had come up manfully and award
cd 70 this class of citizens their rights, and in hi
onipion she would be the first State admitted t.
her full rights under the Constitution. He con
graduated the Convention upon the harmony ant
GOOD feeling which had characterized their ACTON

Important from Mexica.

The Matamoras Ranchero of the l 9th, says that
the firing On the steamer Antonio from the north
bank on Tuesday last was one of the most das
tardly outrages perpetrated on the frontier. The
Antonio having on board detachment of French
marines and two field pieces, was finding her wa,
up the river Under heavy fire from the com
bined force of the Liberals. She grounded sever
miles below the city, and while engaged with the
enemy ON the Mexican side, furious fire, a Ions
range, was opened upon her from the neutral sidt
Of the river, which was effective, wounding tive
marines. The Liberals on the south bank were
dressed in Federal u nifor ms The French com.
mander refused to return the fire from the Texas
bank.
The same paper says it appears to be the settled
purpose OF some men to bring on a war between
the United States and Mexico. 1t also says the
outlaws have been on the American side in force
enlisting recruits, &c:
The Antonio was fired upon from the Texa
shore, near where Cortinas had been camped.
