He has arrived at San Louis Po- tosi. On attemp' to move from that famous halting place of all the armies of the north, he was ai a mutinous outbreak, and more than 1000 of his command refused to march further. The it General seizing the standard, appeared before Tevolterr, and sham- ing them as paltroons, stimulated their patriotism to fol- low the national banner. This appeal produced a mo mentary impression. Order was restored inthe ranks, and the of march resumed. But on arriving at the gates of the city, the mutin« were again inthe nd- ant, and breaking from the ranks, returned to th A took ion of some of the churches, and prepared to resists any attempts to coerce them Amoudia hes thus far diligently followed the footsteps of his illustrious pre- decessor, Paredes.

A full account of this disgraceful ioterview was sent by the printer to he editors ofthe Monitor and published, with the reply 0; the editors, in that paper.on the 12th inst. The Diario det Gobierno, the official journal, subsequent! occ! x nce, notices cer ae have been issued, propos: United States, a::d also New Mexico and California. The intention of the government is then announced of putting ry ead to alldiscussion on the form of govern- ment, under the provisions and penalties of an old ordi nance, which was euivalent to a threat of imprison. ment. In consequence ‘f these occurrences and official indications, the editors in Mexico'have issued a solemo protest onthe | Ae of “the Republican press,” these actr of the government, and denounce them to the nation. Aatbe republican portion of the press in thus brought out, this act of the government is doubt- less supposed to favor some polit move of the monar chical party. The protest is signed by the editors of the Contra Tiempo, Monitor, Reforma, Repub! 0, (former- ly Sigle XLX)'and Don Simplicio. The Locomotor, in aliuding to this subject, says that the proposed cession of Texas &c to the United States, is ao unworthy a suggestion, that it oonld net dave e: nated from Le sincere Mexican, and that it mus' been published by some of the adherents of the monar party, with a view of bringing the republican pert jent ac} of the press into d srepute, and provoking the Presi: to act against its literty.

In the meantime, whatever serves to gratify our aspirations for the | beautiful, ie good, and should be encouraged, al- though it may be far short of our ideal standard. A bad picture is better than none; for it is only by comparison with abetter that we learn to estimate each truly. As there are different standards of beau- ty, 20 itis are en ar establish an arbitrary one, aad condemn all wno do not come up to it, as uaworthy. We might extend these remarks, but will content ourselves with saying, that in the ob- servations we muy make on the exhibition, we shall endeavor to be just. When an artist has at- tained a certain degree of reputation, he can beara little criticism—it 1s wholesome, and may do him good ; while the ig aspirant for fame, if he has any heed be encouraged, Pl ho tn by unmeaning severity. So, courage ! ye young, Raphwls, who have been looking with tren solicitude to this exhibition! We Shall be lenient with you. New England Scenery”—C. Cropsvy.—This picture does not sustain the reputation acquired by the ‘view in Orange county—Greenwood lake in the distance.” Though there are parts of it beautiful ly handled, with much character, yet it is wanting in effect. Like the dove in Noah’s ark,the eye wanders over the picture in search of a resting place. The foreground lacks — The general tone of the picture is cold, although it is noon- day in summer; and the water has no motion, al- though from the character of the sky we might ima- gine wind enough to wake it. It is New England scenery, Lowever; it is nothing else, “View on George” —By the same.—We can. not well conceive how one who haa painted some good things, could paint one so bad as this. This picture is Jacking in what gives greatest value to a picture of this character—effect. There is no stre! in the foreground. The distant hills are never go blue in nature. The reflection in the wa- ter, of the autumn clad mountain. is good; but the water, we think, is too y. We never saw it thus. In the stillest day, with not a breath of it will be rippled, here and there, if not by its own inhabi- tants darting to the surface, by the numerous wing- ed insects skimming over it. Municipal Nominations—Municipal Reform. JamEs Benwert, Esq :— As we have failed in getting up an independent reform party, on the present occasion, owing to the apathy of the moderate portion of the citizens, and the fear of othersto throw off the collar of their party, &c., we have again to submit to the choice of such candidates as the wire-pullers and leaders of the different parties have seen fit to select. Now, sir,as I have thrown off the party collar, I intend to vote for the best men, if 1 can find which the best are, without any regard to their being demo- crat, whig, or native. As there are, doubtless, a choice as to which are most in favor of reform, I should hke to know their various opinions on that point, as well as their personal characters, qualities and qualifications, Wc. But as the party et cannot be expected to give use fair, impartial and candid statement, I appeal to you, as an independent journalist, who do not wear the collar of any party, togive usa fair analysis of the characters, qualities and quali- fications for the offices to which they aspire, par- ticularly whether they will go for such reforms as are needed and desired by the people, and a reduc- tion of our taxes. _ AsMr. Mickle is anew man on the political chess as and pale Roowa Uy the Hue or us party, @ briet report is character, &c., wou be very desirable. It is very desirable that the Com- missioner should be perfectly honest himself, ae well ag not to wink at dishonesty in those who turnish the soap, ol, &c., for the Alms House.
