A REVOLUTIONARY RELIC BROUGHT TO
LIGHT.--A day or two since some wOrKmen
were employed in making an excavation in the
cellar of Mr.. William McNally's liquor establish
ment, Nos. LAG and 14S Water street. one door
above Walnut, on the west side. After digging
TO the depth of about two feet the spades OF the
workmen struck on something that would not
yield to the force applied to the digging uten-
sils An examination proved that two pieces OF
artillery lay embedded in the cellar, which we're
quickly unearthed and brought to light
They are regular old-fas hioned stX-pounders,
and, OF course, covered with rust to the depth OF
about halt an inch. They were found resting
on the blocks OF oak wood, underneath which
ran small stream of water. How they got
there is matter of conjecture; but the inference
is that they are either pieces OF ordinance buried
there by the American troops during the ReVo-
luton, and lust before the city of Philadelphia
was occupied by the British forces, or else they
constituted q portion OF a forthcation that
existed in that locality long before bricks and
mortar were known on the shores OF the Della
ware rlver.
The position of the guns, as discovered. gives
coloring to the supposltion that they belonged
TO some ancient torti6catlons. They were, as
far as appearances indicated, regularly mounted,
one pointing north, and the other south. IL is
established beyond dispute, that they have been
where they were found, for over fifty years; for
the deeds of the property occupied and
owned by Mr.. McNally, where they were
found, states that the building was erected
about the commencement or the present
century. 1t cannot be asceItained whether
any building existed on the site. of
the one where these guns were found
prior to the erection OF the present one, and the
plain inference is that il they we're not sccreted
in the cellar of some building that stood during
the "times that tried mems souls" then they
belonged TO some old (po3sibly Dutch) lortIdca-
ton. The semblance OF a crown can be dis
tlnctlY traced on the breach OF one of the guns,
and they are certainly highly interesting relics
" - .su iuns eyne. Hurng yesterday the
store where they we're found was visited by a
number Of persont, and the relics of former
generation were inspected with considerable
interest

Sir: have your dispatch of the 27th of ebruary
(No. l6O) by which we learn that efforts made
to lnCuce the Austrian governme.t to consent that
four thousand volunteers may b. levied within that
empire this year. tor Mexico, the ground that the
supplementary articles of the Convention of Mramare
permitted two thousand each year, and that
forwarded in the year year 1855.
Upon this state ment of facts the opinion
that the consent desired will probably be accorded by
the Imperial government. SO that Il the funds be
obtained for paying pping and ira sporting four
thousand officers and volunteers they will be found,
and may be expected in Mexico this year At the
same time you state that it is your Dpinion that
the funds have not been furn she'd The thus
sented renders it that should cal your espe
cial attention to my dspat No. l67 which bears the
date of and is sent forward this day. In preparing
that dispatch anticipated the case substantially
which your communication now preset ts.
You cannot, while practising the courtesy and re-

You may be assisted by information of the actual

to M. Monthoon on the 18th day Of February last.
As yet, reply has been received to this note, nor
have its contents become public. You will, therefore,
see the propriety of being discreet in such of it
as you ay find 1t necessary to make. After reading
that paper you will be Just fed in saying that tue
