NEW YORK, Sept. 28.-Gen. Santa Anna
has addressed reply to Minister Romero,
in which he takes the leaders Of the pres
ent Republican Government in Mexico to
task for refusing to receive his services
against the Empire. He declares that their
refusal will not deter him from doing his
best in behalf of his country. How he
means to do this and preserve harmony
among the defenders of the Republic, as
he AYERS himself anxious to do, is not
stated.
Thaddeus Stevens, in repl to letter
asking what effect the success of the Presi-
dents policy would have on Nationl secu
rites, says: "ln answer to the inquiry
what effect the success of the Presidents
views will have on the National securities,
l am of the opinion that its effect would
be very injurious. The President con-
tends that the body of men acting an
Congress has no Constitutional powers and
can do no valid acts in the absence of the
excluded States. The Congresses that
authorized the war debt and laid the
Internal duties to pay it were com posed
OF precisely the same number OF repre-
sentatlves from the States as the present.
If it should be decided that those Con-
crosses had no Constitutional existence
then the 5-20's, 10 DOS and the legal ten
der greenbacks will have been issued with
out authority and will be worthless.
Whether they would ever be redeemed
would depend on what the President
would consider Constitutional Congress
after the admission OF the Rebel repre-
sentatives when the condition of the debts
OF both belligerents would be considered"

AsPY BAY, Sept. 2s.-There are as yet
no advices from Europe by the Gable.
The Newfoundland lines are still pros
trated, but we learn that communication
is expected every hour to be restored. Not
many persons understand that the lines in
Newfoundland pass through dense forest,
and in one case . continuous distance of
$50 miles. Stations are established every
fifty miles, and in case of q freshet it be-
comes necessary in making repairs to make
q detour of fifty miles into the interior to
get across the swollen streams. The pub
tic are unable to understand why breaks
are not sooner repaired, but one who has
tried q journey such as the Newfoundland
woods offer, can readily comprehend the
delay.
