Whilst on the subject of Mexican affairs, wo may mention that letters were received in town yesterday from the city of Mexico, under date of the 2d instant, mentioning that Sante Anna had withdrawn his late letter of resignation, under the apprehension that it would be accepted. ‘This only goes to show the extent to which sincerity forms a portion of the churacter of thif'redoubted hero, who ia continually boasting of his amor dela p and of his readinras to lay dowa his te himselfas@ victim for his couptry’s The capital is represented as being in @ state plete confusion and anarchy; and as the letters do not mention that any steps been taken to fcrtify the city against th of our troops, we presume that Gen.

Vera Cauz, June 11th, 1847. Colonel Banks anced came in wit! small party from the train, which had halted, and was hourly ox pecting a renewal of the attack from the Mexicans, who athered in the road and chaparrals ahead in large d by a small perty, who, with Colonel Mackiutosh, the commander of the escort, were half a mile shead of the wagons. This party, well mounted and well armed, retreated—or fell back—upon the main Soles before an inferior force of Mexicans, an occurrence the first of its kind during this war, and 'sincerely hope it may be the last. The guerillas, thus inspired with confidence, took advantage of the confusion produced, and, avoiding the troops as much as possible, full upon the wagons and mules, which were stretched along a distance of some four miles, and were guarded along their whole line by a number of troops not exceeding four hundred—many of these, of course, rushed forward for their share in the fight, leaving large sections of the train entirely unpro- tected. The consequence was, that twenty-eight wagons aad between one hundred and two hundred pack mules, beoame the property of the guerillas, ‘The train left Santa Fe with one hundred and thirty- two wagons, and from five to six hundred packed mules —so you will ob-erve the loss forms avery large por cont- age. I am glad to learn by a letter which I have seen from Major Bennett, the Paymaster who had charge of the money which went up in the train, that not one of the wagons containing the government funds was taken, although & consideruble sum belonging to officers was taken in the different baggage wagons. captured wagons were loaded. About six or eight of our men had been Killed, and some ‘fifteen or twenty wounded, dur- ing the engagement, and the Mexicon loss was supposed to be much greater. Col, Bank and before Gen. Cadwallader reached tho round, is a matter of deep interest—not to say—eppre eosion. The confidence naturally springing from tne discovery that the Arrericans are not invincible, has doubtless induced an early renewel of the attack, in which cuse [ am not without hope that the reputation of the American arms will be fully maintained. ‘A great fault has been committed with refvreuce to this train. It left the city with an insufficient escort, while two hundred cavalry were lying here, ready, or nearly ready, to move on the same road. If not exactly ready, thelr preparations could have been hastened at least twenty-four hours, and the train could have been detain- ed at least an equal length of time. ‘That this was not done, will, | fancy, become a matter of future uccounta- bility.

But oven if thess reports prove true, that road canuot be closed by Mexican troops. General Seott can detach # division at avy bour, which would again aweep all such obstacles away for the woment ; und ti, be lw the trovps which figure s> satisf.ctorily in the Adjutant General # report, he could guard the road effectively, by occupying with his own men the passes referred’ to. ‘This, it 1s true, would require a good many soldiers, but it isu matter of very great importance, and the service suffers fom inability to do it | am inciined to believe that the General intends to open the road to Puebla, leading through Orazaba and Cordova. as it seems to offer rome advantages over that via Jalapa. By taking possession of these two cities, he would, strike at the root of the guerilla evil, by cout olling. to a great extent, the mountain hordes trom which this class of soldiers is principally taken.

THE SENCIMENT OF MEXICC, [From the Washington Union, June 29.

Santa Anna, so that the legislatures may elect him President; and finally, if this election should prove impossible, to negotiute in order that it may fall upon rome person who shall be under the exclu- sive influence of the peace party, asare Ocampo, Elor- ja, and Anaya. Unhappy country!” ‘Lhe Diario Gibteruo has recommended, in good terma, that this foreign mediation shall be admitted; and it is added by public report, that Mr, Minister Baranda is the author of the article in which this mediation is in- directly recommended. Be on the alert, ye legislatures and yovernments of the States.” (From the same paper, Mexico, May 4, 1847 No. 43.] In our two last numbers, we have informed the public of the advanced steps which were being taken in this most grave businoas,in which the ministry did not appear to bo pursuing the straightest and most becoming oourse, The report of the committee (of which Messrs.

[From Ei Repubiicano, (viexico.) May 10, 1847 } The popular eiection of vue bigh tunctionaries of the State has in some cases the dixadvantage, in others the advantage of being the’ result of the impressions by which the multitude are affected at the m ment, kc., ke. By the deoree of the 1st of April, of this year, the Stute =; t has happened since NEW: YORK, FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 2, 1847. legislatures are to proceed to the election of President of the republic on the 1oth of the present mouth, (Slay) The circumstances under which this important act, {s to be performed, could not be more grave or solemn. The republie panting in a struggle of life or death, the army destroyed, the greater part of her territory ocrupled by thi note, the very capital closely threatened, in no onre, ke . ke. " So that, if we attend solely to our critical state, the ap proaching election of President might ap & matte ofgreat delicacy. but. upon taking a jer view of the subject, it is easy to perceive that it offers at present fewer difficulties, fewer conditions to fulfil, than under other clreumstances incomparably less gad than the present Because, in the first pisce, the signification which should be attached to the election of our first magistrate, is Sep for this is the character of the great question which now preocoupies all minds, Peace or war is the only SBing wae. at the present day, is to »peak the character 6 person to be elected to govern Before the urgency of whol peared. me the cy of wl |. Fuss or ra, therfore, is what the result of the election to ry. Toasmuch as the discussion of the project of a constitu- tion is already far advanced, and about to close, the con- tinugace in of the President now to be wlected will, according to every probability, be ler icegne 2d short, and consequently {tis not necessary, with reference to the future even, to take into consideration the political creed upon other points which may be held by the chief magistrate whose elvction is impending. Happy should wo be, if, during the ephemeral existence which is allotted to him, we eould be exposed to the risk of his Socupy ing himself upon other subjects, in consequence of his hav- ing first brought to @ happy end the war in which weare now atraitened. Nor must we allow ourselves to be governed by such an error as would be that of seeking for a man whose qualities should cprrespond to the difficulties of the circumstances. If this wer @ problem, we should confess that the acts of the legislatures should come in blank; for we do not know—the nation does not kuow—the man whose high personal qualities are equal to cope with the pre- cipitancy and violence of the events of the day. But we must not deocive ourselves; they are not to be controlled by one man, but by the whole country; und, therefore, what we should seek for isa candidate who, deserving the confidence of the country, can cause it to riso—the whole of it—at his voice; one who will not meet with in- vincible resistance from any of the parties existing among us, and who therefore shall be able to bring into play the elements of resistance which reside in the nation ‘Thus it is that the signification which, bes vg J to our view of the matter, should be attached to the eleo- tion of President, is simple, and easy to be found; for the determination in favor of war is now general, even amongst many of those who formerly were for peace, . ke. THE MEXICANS AND THEIR CAPITAL-—~-THE AMERICAN PRISONERS. (¥rom the Little Rock (Avk.) Gazette, June 17.] Crry or Mexico, 9th May, 1847. When I last wrote to you, I sat ona brick floor and wrote on my knees; but these Mexicans are so much like our Spaniel dogs, that the more you whip them the better they like you. und that being the case, you may imagine that after the drubbings they got at Vera Crus and Sierra Gordo, they have treated us more kindly. We have the liberty togo where we please, by reporting ourselves at the Carcel Santiago twice a week. But, though they are thus lenient to us, they uro still acting in bad faith. We were exehanged for, by Gen. Taylor, after the battle of Buena Vista, and are still kept by the Government here, in violation of the terms of our ex- However, we received a letter aday or two since from General Worth, in which he says that Gen. Scott had not, until the 26th ult., been ndvised of our detention at this place, in violation of Gen. Sanca Anna's agreement with General Taylor; and that General Scott would take the earliest and most prompt measures to have us exchanged for —he having the greatest abundance ot prisoners, say seven Generals, thirty-four Colonels, with 4,600 other officers and men. We understand that Gen, La Vega is asain a prisoner, to Gen, Scott, and those who know hii best say he is glad of it; for by being taken a prisoner at Pulo Alto, he was promoted, sud travelled through the United States and made a great man of by our people. I hope that the people of the United States will not make #o great a set of fools of themmelves again, for Gen. La Vega is, to say the beat of him,an ungrateful puppy, and unworthy the attention so generously bestowed upon him by our people. The way he acted (or rather did not act) in our case, is proof of ‘the truth of iny assertion. When we were first brought to the city of Mexico, none of us had a second shirt to our back. We were taken on scouting party, with nothing but s suit of clothes on, and nothing but | or 2 blankets that we had taken with us to supply us, as we thought, during our temporary absence, Being sur- prised and captured, wo were brought to the city of Mexico, without being able to get a change of clothes. and the consequence was, that when we arrived here wo were dirty and lousy. Gen. La Vega was in tho city at the time of our arrival, and fully advised as to our con- dition. He remaine re for more than a month, with- out paying us any attention, or even faquiring for us; and if t had not been for the kindness of thu foreigners, we would indeed have suffered. The foreigners, of all nations, have been extremely kind to us, rendering ua every assistance in their power. ‘The citizens of this place now seem “to give it up” that Gen. Scott will come here, and it is useless to op- pose him, if we except the hirelings of the government And 4 great many of them have been so roughly hand- led by Gen. ‘Taylor and Gen, Scott, that they feel no disposition totake the field again. Speaking of our con t sta with the Mexicans,reminds me that | have yet seeii no particular accounts of the last three battles, 1 saw wo order from Gen Taylor, in which he spoke of the cou- duct ofthe troops on the occasion; he spoke generally in high terms, but sald there were some exceptions —toat some did not act bravely. It isto me a source of deep Tegret and shame, to think that any of our troops should act cowardly,and you may easily imagine the state of #uspense that | am in, not being advised us to what por- tion of the command ‘merited the displeasure of General Taylor, [hope tt was not our regiment.

Since | have been out of prison, I have visited all the principal places in the city. Alexico is a grana place, there are in the oity near three hundred churctes. muny of which are magoificent. The principal Cathedr: which joins the main taza or square, and the church of Guadalupe are two of the finest churches in the world. The Mexican Government has induced the ehurches to coin a great quantity of their silver and gold images and vessels and give them to the army, by making them bo- lieve that they would be robbed by our army if it should come here, Voor devils! Ifthey only were as secure from their own people as they are from us they might sleep soundly. The Americans here are all called Yankees. The least Mexican in the street can articulate the word “Yenkee”’ 80 a8 to be perfectly understood. One poor Mexican, the other day, anid Yankee for the last time (aow they apply the term to all men who have white faces). The story goes thus:—A foreigner, the other day, was walk- ing ulong the street and met a. purty of Mexi one of whow culled hima Yankee. He demanded why they in- suited him, as he was peacably seenaing to his own business. The xican becat al foreigner shut his fist, hit him under the him stone dead. The Mexicans imagined that he was merely knocked down,and suffered the foreigner to walk off unmolested. Who the foreigner is nobody knows, but I strongly suspect him to by a relation to Jim Fears ‘There was @ Lieutenant brought up as a prisoner from Gen. Scott's army the other day, and charged with being « spy. He was under the charge of Gen. Ainpudia and a guard of Mexican officers, und brought in the it stage. When they arrived, they were so overjoyed at meeting their friends, that whilst they were hugging id kissing each other, the Yankee left “for parts un- known,’’ and has not been heard of since. Our men are still confined in prison; they you may say so to their friends. | am not permitted to visit them, though all the other officers are, except Lieutenant Davideon of Kentucky, We suppose the reasos of itis that we, in the council of war when we surrendered to Gen.

It was, perhaps, in view of the power of evil example upon the morals of men, that one of the most iutelligent of the Chihuabus expedition said to us, that “the more of that country we annex tothe United States the worse off we will be.” In Chibuahua there does not appear to be a better social organization. There, too, as in New Mexico, gross, sensuality predominates over all nense ofshame.

But this determination was sbandoned.when it was afterwards ascertained that the present Supreme Court could not be constituted « without there were three justices. to wit :—a chief jus- tice and two associate justioes.

J., forthe use of the Law School, was dedieated on ‘Tuesday, A correspondent of the Newark Daily Adver- tiser gives the following account of the proceedings on the occasion :— The President, Trustees, and Faculty of the College of New Jersey, together with the Professors of the Law School, recently constituted, with a large body of the alumni and friends of the College, assembled at the beau- tifal new edifice just erected on the grounds, and threugh the beneficence of Richard 8. Field, Eeq., one of the law professors, and formed a procession to the Presbyterian Chareh to hear the address from Chief Justice Green, of the New Jersey Supreme Court. In the procession was the Governor of the State; the two United States Sen- ators; the several Justices of the Supreme Court; the Chanerllor; the venerable Chief Justice Hornblewer; Judge Dickerson of the United States District Court, for this State; Judge Grier, of Pa,; Bishop Doane, and many other personseminent in Church and The chure! was crowded to an overflow, the gal presenting a brilliant assemblage of the beauty and fashion of the State. After an invocation of the Divine favor, by the revered president Carnaban, Chief Justice Green rose to pronounce the discourse, which held the profound at- tention of the audience for upwards of an hour; and | need scarcely add that it was «discourse every way worthy of the man and the occasion. After a few graceful and introductory remarks, during which it was said that law rather than literature would be the theme, the speaker proceeded to establish the great proposition that a nation’s laws form the most in- structive portion of its history. It is there that the character, the genius, the progress and the refinement of @ people are most legibly written. They constitute, it was said, the monument and the record of @ nation’s clvi- lization—the only sure criterion of its freedom or its ser- vitude, Tbe inlerence is obvious that the laws must ever present an interesting subject of study and investi- gation; and hence under the Jewish theocracy—under the polished despotism of the East—amidst the demoora- cles of Groece—in the Roman Repnblic, as in every sub- sequent period of time, the study has ever been a favorite pursuit of enlightened and educated men, Upon the re- vival of letters it became the favorite study of the clergy, wod ander the auspices of the church it was introduced into schools and universities, and formed an essential ele- ment of all liberal education. After brietly pursuing the history of the hief Justice set forth ant ‘orga. main propositions of his learned and able discourse—the nocersity of a a sedans cultivation ot legal sci- ence—ot # more thorough, systematic traini eandi- dates for the Bar.
