Condition and Prospects of the American Republicans in this City. There is a considerable degree of internal dis- turbanee in the American Republican party just now. The real friends of reform have become very much dissatisfied with the conduct of the cor- poration, and this feeling of disapprobation begins to be developea in several of the wards. Alderman Cozzens, of the 83d Ward, who was very much an- noyed by the neglect of duty manifested by the majority of his associates in the Common Council, tendered his resignation, some time since, but in consequence of the earnest remonstrance and re- quest of the influential members of the party in the ward, he has withdrawn his resignation, and holds onin the hope that something may yet be done in the way of fulfillment of solema pledges. In the Fifth Ward, resolutions expressing dissatisfaction with the conduct of Alderman Drake, the represen- tutive ot that ward, in the Common Council, have been passed, but at a subsequent meeting were re- considered, and now remain suspended over the head of the Alderman. In the Fifteenth a good deal of discontent is expressed with regard to Al- dermap Scheifflin. Altogether there is abundant evidence that amovgst a large portion of the party, in consequence of the failure thus far to realize the expectations which their promises excited, a very strong feeling of dissatisfaction has been awakened aiast the embers of the Corporation. Now, in some minor matters the new Corporation have made some show of effecting reform. The streets are ina somewhat better condition than formerly, and at the steamboat landings there is not so much disorder. But the great and all-im- portant measures of reform remain untouched. We have no hope of obtaining police reform from this party. We see no proper effort made to effect a reduction of the taxes, The expenditures are still extravagant, and in some of the departments, as for instance those for the City Hall, they are said to be altogether worthy of the old regimé. The truth is that there has seldom been a more glaring instance of the infidelity of a party to promises and principle after obtain- ing power, than that presented bythe new Cor- poration in this city. It is not at all surprising that so much dissatisfaction should exist amongst the intelligent supporters of the party. We perceive that, very probably to cover their neglect of duty in carrying out the local reforms, to effect which they were elected, the new party are renewing the old agitation about the naturaliza- tion laws. In the fall, they” announce their inten- tion of nominating Congress and Assemblymen and Senators, pledged to repeal these laws. Their object is to effect such an amend- meat in the constitation of the State as will meet their wishes. But all this fuss about the naturalization laws is of very trivial consequence. The privilege of voting is of very little practical value. The people who are mo:t Prosperous in this community generally take very liule interest in political matters, and certainly the enfranchisement of foreigners after a very brie! residence here, has often led toa great deal of folly, and also of injury to these voters themselves. Nothing, however, can save this new pary from destruction, unless they fulfil their pledges It was the pledge of reform which put them into power. Their proscriptive measures, what ever they may be in the abstract, will only hasten their disorganization and annihilation.— And if they really mean to retain office, or life as a party, they had better be moving in the work of reform. The shuttieg up of a few groy ehops, will not be deemed a sufficient discharge of those obligations by which the new corporation are bouad to give us adequate protection of our lives aad property, and relief from oppressive taxation. PostroneMENt ON AccoUNT oF THE WeatHER The Tyler “ ratification meeting” that was to hav been held in the Park this afternoon, hasbeen por:- poned until next week, owing to the ‘strong’ easterly storm that prevailed yesterday afternoon A“ Tyler pole” will be erected in the Park, + teat the powers of those who “still” believe thi the “ well” being of the Tyler party is to be bene- fitted by such proceeding. All the “ites,” includi the ‘*Graham-ites,” are invited to attend. Ther» will be a great exhibition of the powers of the “‘monkey party” onthe pole. This pole is not « “ fisher’s pole,” it 1s not ‘red wood,” but a puie hickory sprout, that few will climb without show ing all the peculiarities of their formation. Ninta Warv Native Reruscicans.—There was a meeting of the natives inthe Ninth ward last evening. Some fun was expected in consv- quence of intimation that war to the knife was to be proclaimed against all who would dare to ac- cuse the corporation of what the natives them 6elves in soine other wards have charged them infilelity to their pledges. But the warlike party did notcome upto the scratch, and the whole passed off, like many of the promises of the new Aldermen, in a quantity of “sound and fury signifying nothing.” Inoenrous Tactics or Tak Wuios.—The whi are using the arguments of Benton and Theodoie Sedgwick against the annexation of Texas with agood deal of efficiency. Certainly this use «{ the speeches and letters of these democratic leu- dors must have some tendency to distract the opin- ions on that subject in the ranks of their party This is « species of tactics rather novel, and very ingenious. It is fighting the enemy with their own men and their own we Fasnionaste Movements at THe WareRinc Praces.—It will be seen that the season is very gay and fashionable at Saratoga. We give to-day a communication giving some account of the move- ments there. All over the country the same bust ling, gay, and lively stir in the fashionable worid is apparent. The change in the weather yesterday may have deterred some from going off to the country; but this will only be a momentary chee). Hamilton House is very gay. The first ball of the season took place on Monday night, and was exceedingly brilliant and fashionable. Long Branch and other places in that region are filling up rapid$ ly. Staten Island is fu'l, in all directions. Scanpinavian Society .— The natives ol Sweden, Norway aad Denmark, in this city, are making arrangements forthe organization of an associn- tion under the title of “The scandinevian Soci- ety,” for the promotion of literary and social inter- course. This will likely {iy the foundation for a benevolent institution, for the rendering of assis- tance to their countrymen here and elsewhere. The natives of these regions ot Europe are not, however, we believe, numerous in this city—not over one hundred and fifty or two hundred—but those who do reside here are highly respectable, honest, and worthy members of society, ia the various ranks of life. Louistana Etection.—The returns show the election of two democratic and one whig members to Congress, a democratic majority of one in the State Senate and a whig majority of cight in the Lower House. There is one member of Congres. to hear from. Martin, THe Muroeren.— We understand thai the unfortunate Martin, who was murdered at Hoboken, has been buried in Greenwood Ceme- tery. This laet act of kindness to the murdered stranger was performed by Mr. A. Schroeder, whi paid all the coroner's fees and funeral expenses. Sreamsure Britansts, Capt J.

Interesting from Mexico—Santa Anna on the Annexation of Texas, We have received late and interesting intelli- gence from Mexico, S:nta Anna had addressed a long letter to the Minister of Foreign Relations, expressive of his views with respect to annexation. His reasoning is quibbling and futile. He is evi- dently willing to consent to annexation, if he finds that a bargain can be made on satisfactory terms Here is the letter from the El Siglo of June 12. {From Mexican Official Journal the Ei Siglo of June 12.) Very Excenvenr St Ta an American steamer which anchored at Vera Cruz on the 1th inst. arrived an Agent of the Uni- ted States named Gilbert L. Thompson, Chief En- gineer of the Navy of that Republic, and as he had informed the General Commandant of Vera Cruz of his wish to confer with me_ personally, caused that functionary to let him know that he could pass to this place, to which I would repair yesterdey. Accordingly the said agent arrived to-day in the Diligence, accompanied by the “ Intendent of Ma- rine, Don Joaquin Maria del Castillo” y?’Lanzas— to act us interpreter, und after the usual forms and courtesies he declared himself to the following ef. veti—That the President of the United States had signed a Treaty with Commissioners en the part of Texas, thereby incorporating its territory with that of the Union—that this treaty had been brought before the Senate and upon its discussion there, it had been deemed an_ indispensable act of justice, before any definite action on the subject, to conter with Mexico, seeing the relations of amity which exists between the two Republics; thatthe American Government had been compelled to this procedure in conse- quence of the necessity of attending to her own preservation, having observed the sinister views manifested by the English Cabinet, in proportion 4s it gains strength in Texas, and in consideration of her commercial interests which suffered enor- mous injury from the introduction of the products of the various countries of Europe, which in the curse of one year, according to information fur- nished to the agent, Mr. Thompson, had been im- ported into Texas to the value ot at least two mil- lions of dollars, and of which the larger part wag ‘ntroduced clandestinely into the United States and Mexico—that for the rest, itcould not have been the intention of the President of those States, us it certainly wasnot that of the Senate,to decide up en a subject of so much gravitv,without previous! consulting the wishes of this Republic,and in sets case offering a competent indemnity, and that therefore, not only that body, but that all friends of justice and persons of judgment agreed in ask- ing the consent of Mexico as a preliminary step— further, that an opinion has been strongly pro- nounced throughout the United States in tavor of the annexation of Texas in such terms, that even the opposition party were obliged to acknowledge it, but notin such terms as to lose sight of tht which the honor of the country and justice de- manded—that it was considered to the interest of Mexico to proceed immediately to the establish- Inent of a boundary, although in doing so she might yield up some part of her territory in view of a corresponding indemnity, and that the final determination of the boundary might be made uoder the guarantee of the United States them- selves, or if the cuse required it, even under that of some of the powers of Europe, eo that in this manner, a well ordered state of things might be established, iree trom all foreign influence and from the percicious effects of an unlimited contraband, to sustain which, there are fears that in the end some of the principal ports of the Coast of Texus may be declared free, in order thus to admit with- out any kind of restriction, the entrance of all fo- reign vessels; finally he set forth that the actus! population of Texas had undergone a notabl: change, because already for each citizen from the United States, there were five from other nations—aud that in no manner could the righi+ of Mexico over that territory be denied, 01 important basis for the negociation under con- sideration, and that under this aspect, it would Se of the highest importance to throw aside as if it had never existed the so called ‘ Texas question” and proceed to the establishment of 4 boundary without respect to the class of inh» bitants living in that territory. That the gove ment of the United States having considered ali these causes had deemed it proper to declare them to that of Mexico, and to set on foot the preliminn- ries of a Treaty which having a cagerdite equit) and justice, might do away the difficulties whicl: presented themselves, consulting at the same tim: the mutual ipterests ot both Republics, which hence- forward would have a cause common to both, that of American interests which they ought to protect and sustain, with the firmest unien and good taiti: against all the ardcles and interested views of any ol the European powers. ‘To all thiy reasoning L replied—that of the illegal traffic which is earried on in Texas, if. prejudicis| to the interest of the United States, it is their own fiult, because of the protection they have given to the adveniurers who have there united themselves, evento the degree of recognizing them as a nation —that the President of the United States, in my opinion, has not acted very properly in treating «1 the anoexation of Texas with its actual possessor= because the majority of these being but a portion of the American community, although with the name of Texians, they have no right to enter into treat) of a territory which does not belong to them. That Mexico was resolved to sustain her rights without ever yielding them, because she considers them un- questionable, thought, the proposition made on tne vartot the Am-ricans to be inadmissable, and re- sounced all idea of c-ding her territory. That Mexico being resolved again to undertake vigor- ously the campaign against Texas, for which she held in readiness a large army, with all the neces. sary resources which the peace she has latterly en- joyed, and the general prosperity of the country hasenabled her to obtain. That if she has not proceeded to open the campaign during the present year, it is because she has been awaiting the result of the armistice agreed wpon, in order to treat of the termination of the actual war. Chat if the United States desire in good faith to ar- rest the disorder which ex sts th~re so much to their prejudice, che best plan is to induce Texas to recog mise the sovereignty of Mexico, disposed as she is to make every concession which situation, religion, custom, &c., may require, but that inno manner will she consent to dismember her territory, rather will she carry the warto any extreme which may be necessary to sustain her rights; and that as ne- tions do not die, the right of reconquering that ter- ritory shall remain to our children and our grand children ; that this was the opinion of the govern- ment and of he Mexicans. With respect to the establishment of the boun- daries of the two countries, it is known that at sev- eral former periods, arrangements had been made (or that purpose, but without consummating 1', as the Mexican government so much desired—ai one time on account of the Spanish invasion of 1829, and latterly owing to the internal dis- turbances of the Republic—and she ought not in eny way to sanction an act which may tend to the recognition of Texas, nor even give her con- sent or approbation to the annexation of that terri- tory to the United States. In reference to the de- mareation of boundaries, there is no reason why « scienufic operation might not be set afoot forth- with, under the articles of the treaty for running the boundary liae, based upon those points which since the time of the Spanish Government, have been considered as fixed. Ihave the honor of advising your Excellency up- on this affair, in order that his Excelleacy, the Pres- ident ad interim, may have cognizance of it, add- ing, that the agent, Mr, Thompson, starts for the Capital in the first Diligence. {take the opportunity of renewing to your Ex cellency the assurance of my esteem, God and Liberty, Puente Nacional, , May 17, 1844. ; Antonio Lor'kz Dk Santa ANNA.

Mr. R. immediately commenced a suit against Webb, which has just been decided. Our correspondent in Syracuse has sent us the particulars Syracuse, July 15, 1844. Yor will, perhaps, remember that Mr. Philo N. Rust of the Syracuse House, commenced an ac- tion against James Watson Webb some time last winter for a gross libel on his character and on the character of his house, which originated in the robbery of Pomeroy’s Express. ebb, upon the authority of mere floating ramors, implicated Mr. Rust in that robbery; and after the real robb had been discovered and Mr Rust entirely exon- erated from all suspicion, Mr. Webb came out with an apology, much worse and more insulting than the original libel. Webb, it seems, declined to plead, with a view of getting off with slight dam- ages. This artifice hus in some cases succeeded extremely weil, sad probabl in this case has re- sulted favorably to Webb. But {hs jue who were this day empanvelled to assess the damages in the cause, being some of the most respectable men in our Village, were not to be caught in such a snare. epey had too much self-respect, as well as too much regard for the character of their fellow citi- zens, and too high a consiveration for the liberty and importance of a well regulated press, to pass this case over without at least the auimadversion of a respectable verdict. They gave a verdict for the plaintiff fer seven thousand three hundred dol- lars. I presume Webb means to place his detence on the execution.

Dean Bennett— I can scarcely summon the resolution to write you a line on account of the heat, which is intense in my office—only think, the thermometer in th: shade ranging for the last week over 93° and not u breath of air stirring, and at night eat up by mus- quitoes. The city is supremely dull—every depart- mentot trade is closed—and all'those who could get away have done so, giving the city a very deserted appearance. The 4th was but poorly celebrated ‘The operations in cotton are very limited, owing to the unwillingness of buyers to pay the current rates. The stock on sale is very light, probably not exceeding 40,000 bales. The disastrous sales in Europe have floored speculators, here, (as well a: elsewhere,) effecting the credit of some of ou; leading houses. The banks, it is said, have suffer ed severely from itie puralieas of bills. There is no demand for Texas securities. The elections passed off very fortunately without uny fighting—although there was every indication of the probability of a row in themorning. We have not yet disgraced ourselves by mobs and riots, bu: in other atrocities we are not far behind New York or Philadelphia. People here seem to content themselves with deciding trifling diflerences wits the pistol, which happens so often that it makes the heart sick to think that the life of man is held ai so cheap a rate in this city. Judge McCaleb has sentenced J. M. Breedlove and his associates in crime, to ten years imprison mentin the Penitentiary, for stealing Treasury notes from the Custom House in thiscity. He wa~ anephew of the Ex-President of the notoriou Atchafalaya Bank, which beggared hundreds o people in this section of country. The governmei, will probably loose nearly $70,000 by this robbery Heavy fees were paid to the lawyers engaged i: their defence, and every exertion was made by th: triends of Breedlove to get him clear by technicw! quibbles. The sentence has given universal sati« taction. It isthe only case, however, among ai! our bank robberies and defulcations, which hss been punished, although it is said more than fifty individuals are going at large who are implicate: in them, some of whom have been tried, and gv! élear on technical grounds only. It isa very di! ficult matter to geta jury in this country that wi | honesily do their duty. The solemn oath they tak« in general is considered of no more importance tha), the wind that blows.

He was no doubt urged upon the Preside: : ty his Irish friends, as one who could secure hin: the Irish votes of this city. Thus again has th: President been humbugged.

They then made a | short tour from the Park down Centre street and returned to their head quarters—the “ Astor,”’ stop- ping for a short time at the Arsenal, where Gene ral Storms met and congratulated them on their visit to this city, and paid a h compliment to their soldier like appearance. As they passed along, the concourse of spectators who attended them was unusually great.

Tax Great Gas Microscopic APraratus — As we promised, we have procured the following description of this splendid apparatus. The objeci of the instrument is to present to a large assem bly the minutest objects of nature, and the most delicate productions of art magnified to such an extent, that the finest details of the structure shall he distinctly visible to all present. This is accom- plished by giving to the microscope the form of the magic lantern, throwing the magnified object on an extensive surface coated with white Poe Toef- fect this, two things are indispensable—first, the object which is to be magnified must be so in tensely illuminated that when the light collected upon it has been diffused over the enlarged surface, it will still be sufficiently bright to produce easy vision; and, secondly, the microseope to which the object thus illuminated is exposed, must be constructed with such exquisite perfection that the magnified object may retain all its natural precision, and be free from the fringes of prismatic color, which attend all ordinary cases of retraction. Let us see, then, how these two objects are attained. The illuminating apparatud’ consists of a drum- mond light of extraordinary power, whose rays are condensed upon the object by large lenses resem- bling powerful burning lenses. A cylender of pure time ,an inch in diameter, is kept in slow revolu- tion by clock work. It receives the flame of a strong compound blowpipe, by which it is heated until it becomes intensely luminous. In front of this are placed two enormous lenses of the purest glass, each of which presents to the light a surface of nearly an hundred circular inches. These col- lect to a focus the cone of rays which falls upon them and condense it on the object. Supposing the object to have a diameter of the tenth of an inch, it will by this arrangement receive upon it nearly ten thousand times more light than it would re- ceive directly {rom the burner if placed in the place of the lens. But with this immense illum- inating power, a heating influence would be unavoidably produced, which would instantly kill any living object, and scorch and de- stroy any prepared one. This is prevented by in- terposing, between the lenses and the object, a caval of a highly transparent saline solution, by passing Murouess which the light is strained of ite heat. The illumination being thus effected and the object kept cool, the microscopes are intro- Juced before it, and the enlarged representation wroduced and exhibited on the whitened surface tlready mentioned. There are six microscopes of graduated powers in the present apparatus—the ower adapted to the larger, and the higher to the more minute classes of objects. Each of these ie composed of two Paaatie or at lenses, each of which lenses is itself double or triple. being a chro- matic in the most perient degree. rowers, the butter Y tribe, locusts, leaves of vege- tables and chemical processes, such as the decom- position of water, are shown. With the higher powers, the more minute objects, such as animal- cules in water, eels in paste, small insects, &e., &e, are exhibited. The lenses of the highest power are so minute, that to exnibit with them an insect one tenth of an inch in length, the instrument must be successively moved over the object, which will be seen, not all at once, (the magnitude being far too great to permit that,) but uke a moving panorama. : The apparatus is accompanied by a cabinet fur- nished with a large collection of prepared objects including various insects, sections of wood, wings, r {Is for living animalcules,means cial objects, crystallisation of salts, chemical decomposition, &c. ‘The Croton water as it comes from the hydrant: will be exhibited this evening, when a@ lecture on water will be given. With the lower Saratoga. [Correspondence of the Herald.) Saratoga Sprinas, July 14, 1844. First Ball of the Season—Great Crowds— Postages and Puddings Dear Bennett :— By reference to the columns of the Herald I do not see your wonted notices of the present “‘move- ments, doings and so on,” in this miniature para- dise. Those who have once visited this place need not be told, that for all the comfort that can be at- tained by sumptuous fare and’agreeable landlords, is realized here at the (Astor of this place) the United States Hotel. The season has fairly commenced, and it is es- timated there are 2500 strangers in the place, of which 450 stop at this house ; among whom there are many persons of distinction, such as Governor Wickliffe, our Postmaster General, with his three amiable, beautiful and accomplished daughters ; Gen. Eaton, also ot the Post Office Department, Gov, Marcy and Hon. M. H. Grinnell of your city. There are many more here than were last year at this time, and they al} sppeas to have leit dull care behind them. Last night was the first ball of the season, given in the usual magnificent style with which our enterprising landlords do everything ; it took place in the parlor comprising the spacious north wing of this edifice, and it was truly an evea- ing of great mirth and gaiety. The music wasgood, and the decorating aud dresses were re: herche, pre- senting as much beauty and fashion asa happy unity of good taste and high spirits can supply. ft Talk about ‘*away, away e’er the mountain’s brow,” amid cliffs, cascades and broken shins for rural sport, when such attractions as thie place af- fords is ouly a few hours distance from your pent up city of mephetic atmosphere, and furnishing within its immediate vicinity as good hunting and trout- fishing as can be had on the Oquaga Mountains.— Here, as the poem entitled the pride of Lewden atates, all tastes are suited, tor there are— “ Blue spirits and white, Red spirits and gra: Mingle, mingle, min; You that mingle may.” And you may all mingle if you please, or enjoy the sport most consonant with your wishes in exclu- siveness. You may either hunt, fish, and ride alone or ina party, ard though it might be deemed odd by some of the Gothamites to dance alone, still, I would state for their intormation, that that even is not prohibited. This place I think Willis would be inclined to call an “entightened republic.” Every person does as he pleases, but every thing is done in the best taste, because it is done by the most dite and intellectual people in the Union. By the way, I learn that the P. M. General feels sore at the recent decisions of Judges Story and Conkling in favor of the individual right to carry letters independent of Uncle Sam’s mail. Gen. Eaton says that about all the expresses are now openly advertising to carry Jetters, and hints that the price of postage must be reduced by the De- partment in self-defence. This must and will of course be the case very shortly, and it is a great py that the advice of the New York Prees had not been taken during the last session of Congress — The topic of politics is the only subject voted down here, as they desire to keep as cool as dog-day weather will permit; but now aud then an ebulli- tion of “ Palk and Dalias” will escape. eae Yours truly, G. Western Froops.—-The Missiesippi opposite here, up to 6 o’clock last evening, continued te re- cede, thongh very slowly, having fallen only 24 inches since 7 o’clockin the morning. Jt has fallen, from the highest water mark, five and a half (vet, but is still from 12 to 20 inches deep on the floors of all the stores on Front street above Pine street. The steam: t evening, reports a rise of 18 inches at the upper rapids, and it was rising there when she left. The Annawan, from Weston on Wednesday evening, re- rts the Missouri to be at a stand there, and from the eavy raing that had fallen, it was thought that a rise would probably take place, but not enough to affect the river below. * She reports the river falling at Boonville, and below, to the mouth. At Ottawaa rise of abot eight feet had taken place ; but it had commenced ing when the Dove and Chicago left, and no damage was likely to result from it. Missouri River.—The Lewis F. Linn arrived this morning from Brunswick. When she left the river was rising slowly. The however, is thought to be temporary, and it is believed will have no material effect upon the stage of the water below that pluce. The river is entirely within its banks from Beunawit mouth. The mon done to the town of Bru said to be slight. The towns of Rocheport. Nashville, old Franklin, Pinckney and Marion, have suffered severe- ly. Mostof the landings which the Linn passed were out of water, and was enabled to procure a very full freight on her passage down.—S. Louis Rep. July 6 Great Srorm anv Fagsust.—On Wednesday morning our town was visited by a severe rain, with violent thunder and lightning. ‘The Jightning struck the conductor ef the Winooski church, and the sidewalk near Mr. Cutlin’s on the hill. About 1 o'clock therain and thunder again came on, and lasted for an hour or more, But the evening brought the severest and most violent rain which has occurred here fer fourteen years. It rained torrents for two hours, flooding the streets, and carrying away bridges aud huge masses of earth, almost in an instant An extra stage coach from thesouth, coming toward this village about Lo’clock at night, was precipitated into a deep gully across the road, made by the carrying away of a bridge, and one of the pas engers, Mrs. Whitney, the mother of our townsmen, Messrs. Henry and Stephen Whitney, was drowned be- for e could be extricated from the coach. The other passengers, four in number, were rescued. Two hurses were also lost. This melancholy accident is the only one which has yet come to our knowledge, but we fear there are more tocome.

Having been organized, a prayer wus offered, and the chairman then read the “ Address of the Southern Delegates in the General Conference,” directed to the ministers and mem- bers of the slaveholding States. A committee appointed for the purpose, of which W. G. Kendall, Eeq., waa chair- man, then offered ap eamble and resolutions, which were submitted to the meeting. The preamble in substance condemns the action of the majority in the New York Conference, considera its condemnation of Bishop An- drew as equally applicable to all members of the church in the South, alleges that the South oceupies sition in perfect keeping wath the discipline of th rch, and deprecates any further discussion of this question with our, northern brethren, as further sgitation cannot result in geod to them or to ourselves—preferring an equitable di- vision and separation upon terms of amity, to nominal union w: ing strife and alienated feeling.
