But the news, telegraphically announced in all the papers of yesterday, is very plausible when you getat it, and it, therefore, ought to be read with great care.

Sante Anca had not taken up his quarters in the palace of Mexico, as was anticipated ; but was residing at Mango de Clavo, his country seat, in the neighborhood of Jalapa. Ii] health was said to be the cause of his not proceeding at once to the capital. But we doubt if that be the real ove. [t may be to arrange the preliminaries of the peace or war with this country. Santa Anna will have to communicate pretty frequent- ly with Commodore Conner, or some other agent of our government. Now he can do this more readily whilst living at Jalapa than Mexico, .for it is only one third the dis tance from Vera Cruz that Mexico is But another cause may be assigned for this change in Santa Anna’s destination, It will be in the recollection of our readers, that the pro- nunciamento which took plece in the city of Mexi- coon the 4th ult, in favor of Santa Anna, was | Who is this got up by acertain Gomez Farias. Gomez Farias? He 1s a physician, famous for his skill in bettering the constitution of States, as well as those of individuals. He is the chief of the federal party in Mexico. Now, of that party | Santa Anna has been the bitter enemy the Inst fifteen years. In 1841, a portion of the Federalists forgot and forgave Santa Anna’s former delinquencies, and aided him deposing the President, Bus’amente. The moment he got into office, he treated them with as much contempt as before. This Gomez Farias, though something of a fanatic in politics, is a shrewd, clever man, notwithstanding. bability, the events of 1841 are fresh in his memo ty. He may have suspicions of Santa Anna ; and may seek to impose on him conditions, which Santa Anna may think too stringent. Possibly Santa Anna is as much afraid of Farias as Faris is of him. There may yet be another reason, why Santa Anna tarries at Mango de Clavo. not the adventnicus man some people take him tobe. Inthe revolution of 1841 he didnot Openly “ pronounce” against the government, till the exertions of Paredes, Valencia and others, had rendered failure almost impossible. More- over, Santa Anna’s prescience of dangez is very great; he sees it from afar. And what is Te- | markable, whenever his power is on the wane, | yy, he generally goes to his country seat, in the vi- cinity of Jalapa, and generally with the same ob- | ject—the recovery of his health! Aware ot this trait in Santa Anna’s character, we may be sure, that he would not go to the city ef Mexico, if he were likely to incur great risk in so doing. That he incurs such risk at this moment, is very proba- ble. It is the opinion of many that he is unpopu- lar with the balk of the Mexicans. True, his par- tizans in the army are very numerous. But, if we may believe the ‘news brought by the Arab, that portion of the army which was the first to pronounce in Santa Anna’s favor has recently ‘‘ pronounced ” in favor of Paredes, | the deposed president! What guarantee has San- | ta Anna, that, on his arrival in the capital, the garrison there will not do what the garrison of San | Luis Potosi has done ? j In our paper of the Ith, we asked, ‘‘ what has | become of Paredes?” We repwat the question, | for we like to know the end of great men; wheth- @r great as warriors or murderers—politicians or roguvs.pWe are told that Paredes is a prisoner in | the castle of Perote.

Parsarrenian Cuvacu, TentH Staret—On Santey , the Rev. Dr. Potts delivered a very interest ing discourse, onthe moral claims and social influences of the Sanctuary, taking for his text, the Sth verse of the 26th Psalm. "Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honor dwelleth.” Teverend doctor introduced his subject, by @ rece pitulation of the principal points of the morning’s discus. sion, embracing a statistical statement ol the present con- worship, exhibiting the deficiency in the number of churches required, the great and sad disparity of seats for the accommodation of the increasing population of this city in connection with the neglect or defective attendance, evidenced by the vacant seats in those churches already provided, by the various denomi nations of Christians; numbering the churches, includ ing all sects, at about 230, with sittings for about 150,000 persons, out of a population of 400,000, which this _me- tropolis now contains. On resuming ‘the theme of his discourse, the preacher expostulated on the demoralizing tendency and ful effects consequent on a disreger’ of the obligations of the Sabbath, with especial reference to @ non-attendance on the ordinances of religivus wor- ship, and the disestrour results which accrue to soctety, were the destroyed, the preaching of the gospel silenced, and the orgauie insti tutions of pester ya) ap shad lyf pe |, which, if ever pee to the despisers enemies of all re- ed as subversive of the best interests, relations, and well boing of mankind at lange. In the prosecution of the subject, the tema with searching inguity, con sidered the vapid pleas and vajn excuses which were frequently urged for a nou al lance on public wor- ship—to wit, indisposition of body, which would not pre- vent the pursuit of secular occupation on other dvys; inelemency of the weather, which was only terrific on the Sunday, but was fearlessly encountered on the Mon- day—the demands and avocation of business, including the srrearage of mercantile correspondence—the una- voidable claims of domestic duty- perusal of reli- ligious or theologicalworks aa more beneficial to the soul’s improvement contrary to divine appointment, &c., all of which would prove of no avail at the dread tribunal of God in the day of judgment, but rather aggravate the it end doom of the offender against Jehovah’s com- mands. The remedies for the removal of the evil, aud sin of neglecting to attend on the services of the sanctu- a were next suggested, as regarded the professors of religion and the non professors or mere respecters of the truths and ordinances of Christianity. ‘The first related to more effective exertions on the part of the ministers of the gospel to relieve the dullness and dryness of their pulpit ministrations, which too frequently occasioned, ‘and would easily account for many a vacant seat ; for to the gospel successfully required ability, labor, patience, prayer, and faith, in those who were “set for the defence of gospe},” earnest and persevering en- deavors of serious persons, to urge the attendance ot their associate: acquaintances who manifested an in difference to services of public wership, strongly re- commending the exercise of Christian courtesy in ac- commodating with seats the many strangers and visiters who are constantly coming either to seitle or sojourn in this city; for it was the highest act of benevolence to seek every opportunity of promoting the spiritual wel- fare of our race, ke. The preacher concluded by a most impressive ful application to the con- sciences of his numerous and fashionable auditory, call- ing upon them to sustain tl and avowal of their profession by a constant at , mot only on the morning but afternoon service, to the eucouragement of the preacher, and by way of an important example to the rising generation, particularly of mercantile young men who would naturally imitate the cogduct o/ their parents and superiors in age and station of society, ob- wie with marked emphasis, that the regard paid to the Sabbath was the true source of the prosperity and moral pete and influence which gave to Great Britain, as well as this country, s0 commanding a position over continestal Europe and other nations of the terrestrial gabe. The discourse displayed the usual and acknow- ledged ability of the preacher, and was delivered with striking fidelity, solemnity of manner, and edification of remark ; the dogtor stating, that next Sunday he would finish the subject, by showing the necessity of the mui- tiplication of churches to meet the (tae 4 demand of the augmenting population of this thriving cit; Hosoxen.— Winter, like all other coming events, casts its shadows before. One of our reporters went to Ho- boken on Sunday for the first time since the middle of August, and was forcibly struck with the change which that delightful retreat has undergone within one short month. e do not mean to be understood that it is now less interesting to the pent-up citizens, or that they and their families cannot spend as agreeable an hour there as they cculd a month since. we mean to say is that the change very distinctly indicates tho approach of winter. The foliage of the trees has already assumed the various shades of color that our Indian fo- rests present at this, or perhaps a later period of the sea- son, and we furthermore observed that the oak trees in particular were almost leafless, and some of “he forest trees alvo partially stripped of their 1 The green sward, 60 delightful and refreshing to the sight durin the late hot weather, is becoming withered and parched, and in many places has assumed the hues of the neigh: boring trees; but that which more than anything eise distinctly marked the approach of the equinoctial gales, and the change of season, was the dark und angry swell of the Hudson, so different from its placid and unruffled appearance during the bygone months of June, July, and August.

Upon receiving this advice frem his Honor, the complainauts left the office to consult with their counsel.
