N New York, Thursday, February 12, 1546. Important from Mexico. The rumors which were received a day or two since, of another revolution in Mexico, were some- what confirmed by the intelligence which reached us yesterday, and which we give in full in this day’s paper. There is still a doubt hanging over the mat- ter, and Arista may be quietly resting at Monterey, in the interior, instead of getting off a pronwncia- mento for breakfast. In case, however, that should produce a revolution, our chances for a peaceable settlement of our difficulties with Mexico would be considerably increased. But according to the ac- counts which came yesterday, Mr. Slidell remained in Mexico, and hopes were entertained that he wouldj ultimately succeed, even with Paredes in power. Itis difficult to tell, however, for the di- plomacy and policy of Mexico is of a very extraor- dinary kind. Analysis of the Oregon Vote In the House Whe Probable Vote in the Senate, The vote inthe House of Representatives upon Kxsionation or Contector Lawnence —He has not yet resigned. Whether he will or not, remai: to be seen. We have taken some pains to enquiie into the cause of the rumor that Mr. Lawrence either had resigned or would resign, and have as- certained the following facts. The law recently passed by Congress, (Thureday, February 5th,) limiting the compensation of Collec- | tor to the maximum of six thousand dollars, has gone into effect. Senator Dix remarked, on its pas- sage, that “the duties of the Collector of the port of New York are exceedingly arduous and responsi. ble” They are more—they are encountered at mitch pecuniary risk. Any false movement or erro- neous decision, no matter how good may have been the intention, subjects the Collector to law-suits, which may go with him to the grave. Yet the | above law allows him no extra compensation for encountering these risks and hazards. In assuming the office, the Collector is obliged to give security 10 $200,000—or more fully, thus :— Collector’s salary $6,000, . .. . . bonds $200,000 Naval Officer's do.. do... 10,000 Surveyors do. 4,500. . 11. ...do... 6,000 The Collector not only guarantees his own integ- | rity end correctness, but he is obliged to guar- the notice resolutions, analysed, shows that the par- | tea have all been split to pieces upon this question. The vote was as follows :— + Affirmative. Negative. Democrats, 121 Democrats, 16 37 Whigs, 37 6 Natives, 1 Total Oo 163 Majority, 109. There were only three members absent—two de- | moerats and one whig. All the members from South Carolina voted against the notice, but one. This is a significant fact, asit points to a similar course on the part of the Senators from that State. The votes of mem- bers from the other Southern States were pretty equally divided. Tt appears that the only condition made in the resolutions that passed the House by such a large majority, was one preventing them from interfering with any negotiations that may be going on, or that may hereafter arise. This does not amount to much, as the resolutions will, probably, be very much altered and modified before they can have any eflect. It is possible, that the recent correspondence that has passed between the Secretary of State and the British Minister, and the position taken by the Pre- sident, as exhibited in Mr. Buchanan’s letters, may have a very great influence in the Senate, and pre- vent the passage of the resolutions giving the twelve monthg’ notice, of such a liberal character, as anti cipated by many previous to the publication of tha, correspondence. The Senators even in favor of con. curring with the House, in giving the notice, may not be disposed to leave so much to the President ag they have heretofore. Messrs. Allen, Cass, and Hannegan, are consid- ered the mouth-pieces of Mr. Polk in the Senate; and whatever may be stated by those Senators in de- bate, can, therefore, be considered as the Presi- dent’s views. The decided stand taken by these gentlemen, and the war speeches of Gen. Cass, clearly show that the government feel justified in placing the country in a position to meet any emer- gency. This indicates very little hope of an amica_ cable settlement of the question; but we are not dis. posed to put such a construction upon any prepara- rations the government may make for war. We have not given up all hope of the virtue of nego- tiations. Even in the event of appropriations being made to place our ports in a better state of defence, giving of the notice, the expiration of the twelve months, and the official announcement that mutual or joint occupancy has ceased, we do not abandon all hope of an amicable, satisfactory arrangement of the question. All may hasten negotiations, and bring about a more speedy settlement of the disputed points. So long as the question is left open, und both parties have before them an unlimited period, we cannot expect any decided action; but if the notice is given, something must be done at once, and the two governments will spproach each other with a deter- mination to bring matters to a crisis at once, and then’Mr. Pakenaam can offer the ultimatum of his government. The effect of the recent movements in relation to this question, upon trade and com" merce, has been of the most injurious character, and all fee] anxious to see the end of it. Any honorable compromise, any arrangement, rather than months or years of such uncertainty as now exists. Tue New York Prrots anp THE WALL STREET Prrss.—We perceive that the pilots have recently presented a petition to the Legislature of this State, signed by sixty-four of their number, praying for the passage of resolutions urging on Congress the propriety of amending the pilot laws, The petition was read, and referred to a select committee. We hope that the Legislature will give the case of these hard working men an attentive hearing, and take such measures as they think will have a favorable influence on the Congress of the United States, who have the pilot laws now under consideration. The persecution which the enterprising and inde- fatigable pilots of this port have endured from the Wall street press, has attracted the attention of the newspaper press throughout the country. We have already published extracts from several newspapers, which have corroborated the statements which we have made, trom time to time, of the venality and malignity of their assailants. We publish further extracts in this day’s paper, and refer our readers to them. It wilt be perceived that the enterprising character of the pilots is vindicated, even in the West, where, anty, in ‘heavy penalty, the integrity and cor- rectness of numerous subordina,es, variously concerned in receiving and in disbursing mo- ney, and in the charge of merchandise on ship- board, in transit, and in public stores. Howe- ver willing and anxious the Collector may be to discharge his duty faithfully, it is not to be supposed, that with nothing to gain, and every thing to lose, he would authorize Inepectors to run any unreasonable risks in making seizures, where ani er- | ror would subject the Collector alone to personal pe- | cuniary loss. By this law, it is seen that the salary of the Collector only exceeds that ot the Naval Offi- cer $1,000, while the Naval Officer’s bonds are but one-twentieth the amount of the Collector’s. The Naval Officer is but a check upon the Collector—nor are we advised that he incurs any pecuniary respon- sibilities, or risks of any kind, disconnected from , the ordinary duties of his clerks and deputies. He receives no moneys—disburses no moneys—handles no moneys. On the other hand, the Collector is liable in various ways, and especially to be sued by importers for eXcess of duties exacted—and for which he 1s held personally responsible,”until, as a possible contingency, he may or may not be indem- nified by the department. In making seizures, prosecutions, &c., great pecuniary hazards are in- curred, tor which, heretofore, a share of the fines, penalties, and forteitures, have constituted a com" pensation. Now there is none. But this isnot all. The passage of Senator Dix’s warehouse bill will very greatly increase the duties, | cares, and responsibilities of the Collector. Where 18 to befound the motive to incur them? What merchant, or business man, who can in Wall street or in Pearl street, command a bona jide (not “straw” bonds) credit of $200,000—we say, where is the man, in his sound senses, who will, under $200,000 penalty, take the risk not only of safely collecting, and correctly disbursing $20,000,000 an- nually ; but also of safely warehousing merchan- dise to ten times that amount—and all for the paltry | compensation ot $6,000—all of which, in the course of the year, would probably vanish, in the way of official intercourse, political assessments, Wc., &c. You may find some aspirant who would accept and take the chance of creating an equivalent in politi, cal capital—or who would accept equivalent contri- butions as conditions from those whom he ap- pointed. But we venture to say, that no gentleman | of Mr. Lawrence’s character, capacity, and integ- and the increase of our Navy to a new standard, the | indeed,we might expect a candid and an unprejudic- | ed expression of the villanous warfare on these en- terprising men, by a clique of stockjobbers and speculators, backed by an imbecile press. We have no doubt that the pilots will have that justice done to them which is their due Mar. Apams on THE OrRGON QuesTIon.—We re- commend our patrons to read the speech of Mr. Adams, on the Oregon question, published in our paper of yesterday. They willperceive that Mr. Adams asserts our claim, up to 54 40, to be clear, and bases his assertion on Scriptural authority. This is altogether a novel view of the question to us, as we believe it is to our readers. We are very glad of it, however, for if we have Scripture authority for claiming the whole of Oregon, we don’t see how England, ranking, as she does, first among Chris- Man nations, can any longer dispute our claim. In- deed, her further persisting in asserting her claims to any portion of that territory, would be: contra- ry not only to her character as a Christian na- tion, but in contradiction of her praiseworthy and humane endeavors to propagate Christianity throughout the world, particularly in India and China. We now suppose that henceforth our claim to Oregon will really be “clear and unques- tionable.” Sream Vessets—Tae Svamercen Screw.—We bserve some discussion going on in several of the apers, as to the rélative merits of the old fashioned side wheels, and the submerged screws, as a means ot propulsion in vessels of war. There is great dif- ference of opinion on this subject, among en- gineers and shipbuilders. The Princeton is the only instance of the submerged propeller acting at all successfully ; but if it come at all near the wheels, in point of swiftness, it should not be con- demned, as, doubtless, it is susceptible of great im- Provement. But ifit should, at any time, be so im- proved that the same degree of awittness can be se- cured, as with the side wheels, it will be a great ac- complishment, and be of the highest utility as re- wards vessels of war, from the satety it possesses of being secure from the enemy’s shot Consut.—Seth Bryant has been Tecognised the President of the United States, Consul for bd republic of Equador, for the port of Boston | Will come to.— Boston rity, is the man. Under the administration of Mr. Lawrence, the public at large may repose confidence, not only that the chief revenue of the country will be safely collected and correctly disburse?, but that the Cus tom House will not be administered as an en- gine for private and political purposes. And as the Senate has delayed his confirmation for the ex- press purpose of diminishing his compensation, it is to be hoped, when they come to act upon the warehousing bill, they will see the propriety of add- ing to it aclause which will give adequate compen- sation to the officer who discharges the duties which it shall create. It is to be hoped this city is not to be again thrown into the excitement and political disturbance consequent upon the resignation of our present Collector. Martiat Law in New Yorx.—Our readers will have observed, in our Jegal reports, a remarkable trial, in which Hencke, a young German, 18 plain- tiff, and J. Gulick, the militia fine collector, 1s de- fendant. It was a case of trespass, and the defence was justification, under a warrant ieeued by a court martial. We think itis time our citizens should know, that we in New York are under martial law, and that in addition to the courts of common law, there are also Courts martial,which not only claim, but as proved in this trial, actually put in exercise, the right of penetrating into the houses of citizens, seizing them forcibly by the throat, and carrying them off to jail! ‘The whole affair may be read, fully reported, in the Herald of the 6th and 7th inst. But the object we have in view, in noticing this matter out of the course of our legal reports, is the character of the instructions which the presiding judge is reported to have given on that occasion to the jury. Notwithstanding the very high respect we enter- tain for the ability and legal reputation of Judge Ulshoeffer, we are obliged to differ trom him, toto celo, in thig,matter—and we think that it isa high matter—touching the personal liberty of every citi- zen, which requires that the question of jurisdiction should not be left to the surmises of a jury,but should frst _be{epecially set out in pleading, before the case is permitted to come before a jury; and if not in all particulars so clearly made out, judgment should be final on demurrer, upon defendant's ignorance or knowledge ; as, for example, whether he knew or did not know that plaintifi resided within the juris- diction. All that the jury can decide upon, are the acts and deeds of defendant, as given in evidence. Now, whether he knew or knew not that plaintift resided in or out of the jurisdiction of the court, it matters not at all, provided he committed the tres- pass without jurisdiction; for every officer ought to know what he is doing, before he seizes upon citi- zens by their throats, in their stores or private houses. The instructions of the court, it will be seen, are in direct violation of these well known and undisputed legal principles. They are as follows :— “ The first question the jury are to decide was, had the Court Martial authority ‘to issue the warrant? If the laintiff resided within the beat of the court, it certainly ad ; but if he did not, then it had no jurisdiction, and the warrant was illegal. The next question is, did the defendant, at the time of the errest, know that the plain- tiff did not reside within the beat? And lastl: he know he was an alien? Upon the testimony before the jury, they are to decide these questions; and if they come to the conclusion that the defendant knew plein- tif’ was an alien, and not residing within the beat of the court, plaintiff is entitled to a verdict.” We think there would be an end of all personal liberty, and the courts would no longer be the de- fenders of the people’s liberty, and assertors of rational common law rights, if the person who drags the citizen out of his house, and casts him into jail, can get off, if a jury decides that Court Mar- tials have authority! How can a jury tell? We thought the law only could give jurisdiction, and the Judge isto know and make known to the jury what is or what isnot the law. Who would be sate, if juries could, by their deciding, make law ? For it might happen that the very members of the Court Martial might be on the jury, and make them- selves and their court a lawful tribunal, by the de- cision which they are here invited to make. We have the highest respect for the Judge, but beg leave to differ from him in this matter, —_—_. Expresses.—It is rumored that the Po are going to beat the New York Hove ks foreign news by the Cambria, now six days out from Liverpool. The modus operandi is to have an agent board the steamer off Halifax, cross over land by horses to Annapolis, join the steamer Kennebec, and run to Port. land; from thence by railroad to Boston. We are in- clined to believe this operation will cost Treneereps, Feb. 10. oe Pang Tueatac.—The new and beautiful pantomimio Dallet of “Le Giselle,” was presented last evening fcr the sixth time, toan admiring and fashionable audience, | Tie t ‘won the hearts of all who havo poetry in their souls, and who can appreciate the manifold beauties of the ballet.

The interesting letter of our cor- respondent, which we append, will give our readers a connected and satisfactory account of the nature, ex- tent aml objects of the new revolution, headed by Aris- ta, in so far as they were known at t! pital and at Vera Cruz, up to the last dates.

Lieutenant White, of tne Somers, was bearer of despatches to our Minister in Mexico, left the capital in company with Mr. Slidell on tl pe sansny. Mr. Slidell wil remain at Jalapa a few weeks before proceeding to | Vera Cruz. The dilatoriness of the Mexican Govern- | ment in furni our Minister with an escort, which ast afortnight before it was finally ranted, andthe lame pretences under which it was do: layed or reft from time to time, have been tho ght | | to indiegia a disposition to detain our Minister in the | Country to the last possible moment, in hopes that the | seutiment of the people might finally take a turn favora- ble to negotiation. ia the capital a functionary of the principal agents in the revolution had before declared, ‘to be an insult to a free and b: per ple.” 1t has been suggested that the Government were waiting for President Polk’s Message before they allow- ed the Minister to leave. message was conveyed to Mexico by Mr. White about the 12th of January, and was immediately transla- ted into the principal journals, withont comment of any xind. The message appears to have given great satis- faction to all the American residents. Information was received by wate advices from Mexico, the after Mr. White left, that Gen. Arista had arrived at Luis Potosi, and declared in favor of | | the former order of things, and invited all to join him in | | putting down the revolutionists,and those who would destroy the peace of the country. It was added that Arista had taken Tampico and levied an additional duty of 62 cents to Sappert his troops. This intelligence is | without doubt authentic. Gen. Arista’s disaffection to- | wards Pared ‘as very Clearly indicated in his official | | letters of the 24th December, which you have without | doubt seen, as they were published on the Sth January in Mexico.’ Since then, various official declarations from the Northen Departments have been published, in- dicating a determined opposition to the revolutionary | movements of Paredes.

Geverat sil brief salient @ singular inci- | dent in Arista’s history may furnish the American reader some grounds for an opinion as to the effect of the re- ported new revolution in Mexico the issues now ending between that country of Mexico. He has resided in the United States, is well educated, understands the English lan- perfectiy, and has a better comprehension of both Siewioan and American affairs then any General who has yet headed a rebellion in Mexico. He wes violently Oppos of Texas, for reasons ak been so pom- predecessors ii enterprises. It washe who conceived the idea of form- ing a separate confederacy out of the States of Tamauli- pas, Coahuila, New Leon, Chibuabua, Sonora, kc ke. A main feature of this plan was to bring Téxas into the new con‘ederacy, egotiations were begun with a Ruse hes Texas ones tte mee invited to ou. > the pro; revolution, under a guaranty tha Trey would be allowed their just influence in the adzal- nistration of affairs. It was he, Texas that Arista hoped to get recruits from tho United States to the A force com; in to establ the new sove! casion to w the difference between such troops and the lazarroni rabble from which Mexican levie: this enterprise. Since that event we of his movements except in the wa: have from time to time reached the , in re- gard to military operations in Northern Mexico, until his letter of 22d December last, in opposition to the re- volution of Paredes, which is now before us. General Arista, if our accounts by wey of Pensacola should | prove true, has taken up arms in favor of Herrera’s go- vernment. The complete success of Paredes may not have been known to him. The feeble resistance of Herrera,while in possession of the revolutionists, would scarcely indicate that he is a fit person to relly or sup- | port acounter revolution. If Arista knew this, there would be no room to doubt if the present enterprise may | not be undertek-n with the pu of establishing the NorthernConfederacy,the erect of which hehas had so much at heart.
