But there he reckoned without if is host, for the treasury being bankrupt, and the priests having all the money, they bought up the government officers and troops, and, by the aid of their money, induced them to “ pronounce.” We, as prisoners, changed owners dur- ing the revolution. Our change was truly farcical. The government penitentiary, in which we are confined, is commanded by # colonel in the army, nssisted by ano- ther colonel, # lieutenant colonel. a captain, and two or three lieutenants. When we arrived at this place, they had, as prisoners, some fifteen or more officers of the Mexican army, who were confined here for crimes of different kinds, among which may be enumerated rob- bery, house breaking, &c. Well, when we arrived, the comunandant of our prison was reckoned as one of the most staunch adherents of the government, and held out in their favor a whole week, which is a long time, when we consider that the government was very poor and he very fat, But, at the end of the week—on Sunday, day which the church devotes to doing good acts and the service of God—our colonel folded to the eloquence of the priests, but not until he felt the roughness oftheir dollars, The other officers gave in, in like man- ner, as well as the soldiers—every man for his price — The next to be brought over, or, rather, to be bought over, were the officers who were detained as prisoners, They yielded, but yielded | graoefully—every man for his price—and our prison, which had been as poor as the head quarters of poverty could be,was enlivened by the eternal chink, of money--for, so unused were the poor devils to _. that it seemed to burn in their pockets, and they kept it shaking to keep it cool. We were then in the hands of the revolutionary party. One of the offi- cera, who had been a prisoner here, proposed to me to join'the revolutionary party. I thanked him, but de- clined—telling him that it was « family quarrel, like one between a man and bis wife, and that I was in favor of their having a fair aioe I expected General Scott would soon be knocking at their gates for admission, and thatthen, if he had any curiosity in seeing me fight, to look out, for { should certainly do my best. He bade me good morning, and retired. Y, dint of bribery, the priests succeeded in get- ting the largest party. “The revolution waxed warmer and warmer, It had now continued for fifteen days, when Santa Auna arrived from Saltille, with the rem. nant of his army which had escaped from Gon. Taylor. He put a stop to the revoluticn, by turning againsi the government. which had done every thing that he had asked of them, and joined the priests, which was the stron, party. Gomez Farias has been compelled to resign, and Santa Anna now holds the reins. ‘hat he willdo, 1 know not. He speaks of lvaving soon, for Vera Cruz, to meet Gen. Scott. LIEUT. COL. JOSE MARIA MATA. {From the New Orleans Delta, May 26.) ‘We had the pleasure of w long conversation with this intelligent and gallant officer of the Mexican army, who isat present in eur city, on parole, Col. Mata com manded @ battalion of the National Guards on th fortification on the rigbt of the enemy's position at Cerro Gordo, where Gen. La Vega gave Gen. Pillow such a warm reception. [lis talents and capabilities are so highly esteemed in Mexico, that an earnest effort was made to have him exchanged, which was at last effected, and he will soon depart for his native country. The Colonel isa gentleman of fine education and great ac- complishments. He speaks French with very great fluency and beauty, and seems to possess a considerable store of valuable intormation. Col. Mata has written, during his residence here, his views of the war, and the relations between Mexico and the United States, which he intends to publish on his return to Mexico. I Mexico but two days after the arrival of the American prisoners, and upon orders suddenly given by the Government; that he, however, took steps to have Mid- shipman Rodgers released, and had assurances, which were afterwards justified by the fact, that the other pri- soners would also be released. They were placed temporarily in the Carcel de Santiago, more as protectionthan as a restraint or imprisonment. Gen. & Vega and his brother captives were confined by Col, Wilson, the American commander at Vera Cruz. in the guard-house, which the Mexicans think is harder case than that of any of our prisoners, Gen. La ‘motive for remaining in Vera Cruz, instead of coming bere, as he desirad, is one which is creditable to his character. His companion, Gen. Jarero, is a poor man, with a large family dependent on him for support, and ‘cannot, therefore, leave Mexico. Gen, La Vege thinks itis his duty not to desert his countrymen in their distress, and be will not, therefore, voluntarily leave Mexico, but will await the disposition which Gen Scott may think proper to make of him. We perceive that the company, which Mexican bombast swelled into a legion, composed of the deserters: from the American army, has been disbanded and ordered out of Mexico. The habits and custome of these rascals did not please the Mexicans, though it appears they fought very gallantly at Buena Vista (>: of seventy-two who were in that battle, twenty-eigh were killed. At Vera Cruz. Col. Mata informs us, ther wore about sixty deserters from our lines, und be thinks these desertion will increase as our army penetrates the country. ‘The delicious climate and beauty of the country. he thinks, will cause many of our veterans to awerve from the path of loyalty and duty. But the Colonel, perhaps, counts too largely upon the suscepti- Dilities of our soldiers. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Quebec Mercury, May 27.] It is now pretty evident that nine tenths of the flour and wheat now in course of transportation, to the tide- waters of the St. Lawrence, will be shipped to Great Britain and Ireland—and the remaining portion very likely to find its way into the United states;—firatly. in consequence of those being the most tangible articles toconvert into money, with prospect of profit to the mewhant. and lastly. in consequence of the great ad- vance in breadstuffa in all the Atlantic cities; equal on an average to twelve shillings and six pence per barrel on flour in the short apace of ten days, Upon the eve of our session of Parliament it may not be unneceasary to cull the attention of the Governmont to these facts Happity for us, in Canada, s0 far, scarcity of food bas not been felt by the present generation; how long such A state of things may continue is not limited to man's experience. Without being an alarmist—in what position should we in Canada East be found, during the ensuing winter—in the event of an unfavorable season for pro- ducing the ordinary grain crops at present raised. oats, barley, und peas? ‘Wheat, hax been out of the question for some years past, and asfor potatoes—what depen- dence can be placed upon them now?—in what posi tion should we then be placed? Why, in # position worse than Ireland ever has been, because communi- cation with all other parts ef the world with us is stopped for a period of six months of the year.
