By this arrival we received the first number of “The Genius of Liberty, w paper published in Vera Cruz, by Mesars. Mathewson & Quinn, from which we gather the following information. There had been no communication between Vera Crus and the city of Mexico, stnce the news brought by the Maay, Kingeland, already laid before our readers.

The fortification situated between the sentry boxes of Belen and St. Thomas, St. Como and the citidel, was next at- ‘ed by our forces, The resistance of the Mexicins this place was truly desperate, and the herolsm dis- played by them worthy of the best days of the Republic. Santa Anna led his troops in person. ‘After nine hours hard fighting, according to the Mexican circular now be- fore us,Gen, Scott retired, drawing off bis forces. The Mexicans, {t appears, after repulsing the forces under Gen. Soott, dreading a bombardment and being anxious to avoid the horrors attendant upon assault,concluded to surretnder the city, the government and the forces under Santa Anna retiring to Guadaloupe. Gen. Scott untered the capitalon the 15th ult.

The galkant General and his brave band were somewhat harwised by the enemy, who kept con- tinually hovering on his flanks, fring on them occasion- ally. but the vigilanee and ciroumspection which he un- ceasingly manifested, deterred the enemy from an ap- proach within anv reasonuple proximity. ‘We are extremely sorry to add that Licut.

I shall endeavor to sketeh come of the incidents of the route. We are obliged to resort to novel and amus- ing expedients in order to get letters to the United States, The rai fe; we have, however, left some 14 or 15 wagons behin® us as a measure of precaution— the enemy did not succeed in getting one by legitimate capture. ‘T' it Jalapa, where our troops are now quartered, is regarded as one of the wealthiest and most important in Mexico. It is situated amoug the moun- tains and within a few miles of Orizava, Here may be found every thing that could be anticipated from a noil that yields with spontaneous luxuriance all the various prodictions of a tropical elimate. . . * “ But you are anxious to know how we got here—it is said that our troops have never been exposed to more fatigue and hardship in Mexico. The guerillas, from a per h in a New Orleans paper, got an idea that we ad one and « half millions of dollars. With all our ef- forta, we could make but four milos that night—noarly one-third of the command had fallen tothe roar, “fave you ever bivouacked ? Heavens!

We discovered the enemy posted on a hill, en our left, in some force. The command halt- ed. ‘The order tocharge was given 1 scrambled up the hill, jirked myself over the rocks with the men, on getting to the top, the enemy had gone.

Capt. Jones’ Comp 5 of North Carolina, 12th ‘Regiment, was in the mouth of the pass. the last of the advance. We formed into toons. Some confounded mules having been wounded, came rushing down the hill, trains and all,"into us, but the officers of the company soon set all to rights agein. ‘We formed on the of the bushes, and fired low and We delivered two fires. This produced a very eloquent silence, Inthe mean time, while this was joing on inthe rear, the enemy’s ca charged the Bead of the column. Lieutenant Sears, of the Artillery, routed them with a couple of his grape and cauister ap- pli and portion of the and Voltiguers under Captains Alvord Cummit ad jdwell, charged in pursuit. The two latter were both severely wounded ‘The Mexicans left many killed; our loss was five in killed and wounded, “ From this time we wore constantly exchanging shote; some times receiving whole vollies, which killed and wounded a few men, but harrassed the command ex- ceedingly. “On he 12th August we reached the National Bridge, met the enemy,and at first suffered some loss—and upon the top of this bluff, perohod some 600 feet above the Bridge, stands the Castle, which commands the bridge and fe ‘approaches. Our little army, properly disposed, arrived at the h of the defile; ws windings and gained the bridge. Evory thing was si lent ; we passed half way across, where we saw an em- bankment, which would seem to render further progress rather doubtful pproached, and when within point blank distance a volley of eacopettes burst from behind; at the same moment the castle on the left and heights on the right Er us a severe and galling fire. In vain tho cavalry charged—the embankment was im- passable. The artillery belched forth its iron messen- gers of death, but the dread weapon could not touch the foo. The men werefalling fast; the cannon was left for ® very short time dismantled on the bridge. An officer volunteered to repass up the bridge and Lag | ‘up one, and with the ald of nine men of company C, it was ac- complished in one hour. ‘'hey remained on the bri ige, wnsheltered, in the midst of the fire, where the gallant Lt. Twiggs joined the party, but did not share their suc- ceas, having been shot immediately after, dying with ‘the drag rope in his hand and a smiloupon his lips. His friend Sears, another noble hearted gentleman, and my- self, went down after his body and brought it up, spite of the curses and fire of the enemy. “From this piece a fire was opened upon the castle; they retired, the fort was entered by our force, and upon an officer of the 12th waving the stars and stripes from the point of his blade, the shout that rose to Heaven made a fellow feel rather glorious. We were victorious. I do not know how to do justice to the coolness and cour- age of the troops and the gallantry of the officers, who for halt an hour, stood under @ pretty hot fire. Here were wounded Capt. Ciark, Lieuts. Creanor, Wender, and Adams, and Capt. Twiggs killed. We remained two nights on the bridge, dressing the wounded, repairing losses, &c., and pushed on for Plan del Rio, destroying on the way 14 wagons to lighten our train and condense our forces. We found the enemy had destroyed the stone bridge, but we quietly waded over, driving the teams before us. We learned Plan del Rio that the enemy wero waiting for usat Cerro Gordo. A plan of battle was ar- Fanged, and we sallied out_with 500 picked men to thrash im. = “We had no sooner approached this seeming impreg- nable barrier than our advance was arrested by a fire of escopettes. The command opened to the right and left out of the road. The lett ascended the steep hills and stormed copes yey, fort after fort, line after line, party after party. The charge was resiatless ; the enomy fied, leaving their dead behind them. We halted for the night and slept on our arms. “In this gallant affair, the voltigeurs bore an importaut part. Every where the click oftheir weapons was followed by the groans of th nemy. "The 3 companies ofthe 12th had been ordered to the right, and were equal- lysuccessful. A large body of the enemy were in the bushes, peppering away upon the road; we were ordered to dislodge them, Company C in front; we crept stealth- ily along the road—the enemy opened a raking fire upon the files which were surrounding’him—the boys charged. Heavens! if you heard the shout—they were driven into the snare—they fled, we sought to head them, but their knowledge of the ground ,and spved, aided their escape —they suffered severely—a few trophies fell into my hands, some of which are with me, and | may show you, when peace is made, and we all get home again. “Three pieces of artillery were among the most impor- tant captures. These were spiked. “Several amusing incideats oecurred during the ac- tion, which I will relate some other time. The North Carolina boys bebaved nobly. “ Two days after the action the train was again inmo- tion. I was, for a while, with the advance guard,— The next day we stopped at another hacienda of Santa Anna, and found excellent water, ko. On starting next morning, the train was again attacked, in the rear, but was not continued after one or two vollies. Although constantly fired into by the enemy, we did not meet him again until we reached a spot three =e short of Jalapa, where 900 men, under the famous Padre Jarauta, dis- puted the passage for 15 minutes. We poured the can- nop shot into them, charged them with cavalry, finally routed tl by a flank movement on their rear, made by crawling through the grass, at which operation our men have, from practice, become Lia peed expert. The gallant Mejor Lally was shot sn the neck during this action. “The citizens of Jalaps had turned out en masse to witness the defeat of the Northern barbarians. “The next day, being the 20th August. we cntered Ja- lay So fatigued were we, that in defiling through the ae the work of some hours, I placed my head upon the stoop of & aboemaker’s door and was soon fast asleep. The men had suffered from hunger and fatigue, and were harassed from so much watching and hard fighting. “We are all now rallying wonderfully. I have got over chills and fever. We are ready for more bush- fighting if neoersary, though to say the truth, we long to be with Scott in his grand and brilliant combinations,’ FROM SANTA PE AND FORT LEAVENWORTIL. Major Walker, recently Paymnster in Santa Fe, Lieu- tenants Noble, Wilson, and others, arrived about noon to-day, on the’steamer Rowena, from Santa Fe, ‘They left on'the 11th and 13th of August, which, however, is not as late, by two days, as we have previously received.

InpiAN Trounies.—We regret to learn that considerable excitement exists among the Sac and Fox Indians, because of the treatment which they have received from the Unted States government. We are told, but cannot vouch for the truth of the report, that so great is the dissatisfaction of the tribe, and so impossible has it been to do justice to them, from the vi- olation, by the United States, of the treaty stipulations, that the Agent, Msjor Beach, who has been with them somo eight years, has been compelied to resign his of. fice, The Sacs and Foxes, for several years past—in fact ever since the Black Hawk war—have been peacea- bie, and relied entirely and implicitly upon the treaty stipulations for support end protection. During the past summer, they visited the agency, as they were ac- customed to do, for their rations and their annuities. — But, frem some unexplained cause, neither could be paid them without further instructions from Washington, and they were, consequently, kept about the agency, euffering, not only for food, but for water, unt!l disease setin upon them,and hundreds have fallen victims to the neglect of the commissioner of Indian affairs at Wash- ington. So loud, says our informant, became the demand for relief, that the agent, rather than endure the dis- tress which he was compelled to witness overy day, Paid over the annuities of money without the re- quisite instructions from the Department, and then re- wigned his post.— St. Louis Republican, 5th inst.

After the usual morning services were read, the House organized, and the minutes of the preceding day’s ser- sion were read and approved, after being amended slightly. © Mr. Cousrow, of Virginia, reso in his seat, and asked for information concerning the admission of persons into the galleries ofthe chapel in which the convention is maing bold and wished to know in what manner tickets are distributed. Rev. Mr. Mrav, Secretary of the Convention. gave the gentleman information on the subject. He referred to journal, and showed that on the second day of the caeore teats was made and carried, referring it to @ committee to make such arrangements ea they might think proper for the admittagoe of persons in the gal- lery; and that, at the ion of the Reotor of the arish, the ticket system was adopted. For his part, although he was at the trouble o: signing six hundred tickets. the greater part of which are still on hand, he did not care if they were all cast in the fire, provided the convention so willed it. Mr. Cousrow again rose and said he would move that the order referred to by the seoretary be resBinded. A Detecare, whose name we did not luarn, said that the reason of making the rule was, that at the session of the convention in Philadelphia, tho doora of the church pows were torn eff, and the house otherwise de- recrated, and that a bill of upwards of five hundred dol- lars had to be paid for the damage done. Mr. Couston remarked that the ticket system was odious iu the country, and savored somewhat of aristo- Rev.

Mr. Waron, of Philadelphia, ssid there was very lit- tle danger of the bullding belng desecrated by ladies and he saw no good reason for limiting in any way their ad. mission. It would be impossible for tho convention to get on, ifthe ladies wore not admitted. Rev. Dr. Wrarr, President, said it was suggested to him that it was on the terms of granting tickets of admission, that the useof the ehapel was obtained. Dr. V N suggested that the whole subject be laid on the table till the galleries were perfectly full of ladies (they were then haiffull) and then the subject could’be disposed of, Judge Cuasturns explained how the rule in the first place was passed, and aald thet he was the mover of it, and did so in consequence of «specific understanding to that effect with the rector and vestry As the conven- tion took the building on these terms, it could not now very well rescind them. Mr. Coxston thought it well to recommit the matter to the committee, and direct them to fix on some other method of admission to the galleries, He did not wish to have any favor shown to the members of this conven- tion. He had brought his family with bim, and if they chose to come to the house and secure their seats be- fore the galleries were filled. he should be glad to m; but he wished no other favor shown them than such ag they might gain by thelr activity. As to admitting persons to the galleries on any principle of favoritism,be could not reconcile himeelf to it. He did not want’ to settle this matter of precedence among the ladies at all. Leave the matter to them, and they would settle it to their own satisfaction. Mr. Coutina enquired if the tickets were for the ad- mission of ladies only; and on being informed that they were not, he said he thought the argument against the tickets would fall to the ground. He would vote against the desecration of ajchurch of God, but was an ardent @ republican, as far as free admission to all who wished to attend, was concerned. Dr, Vaw Ixcen’s motion te lay the subject on the table till the galleries be filled, was put and carried. A message from the House of Bishops was announced, informing the House of Deputies that it has passed a re- solution that the several reports of the Missionary Bish- ‘ops be tranamitted to the Convention, and that if the House concurred, the reports be referred to the joint committee of the two houses on Missions, ‘The Chairman of Committee of Canons, reported on the resolution referred to thein, to enquire into the ex- pediency of repealing canon 1ét of 1789, that in their opinion it is inexpedient to reper] that eanon. The next subject on which that committee had to re: ort, he said, was whether it was expedient to provide by canon that no diocese should have more then one bishop in the House of Bishops. On this they report, that it is inexpedient to pass a canon on bishops sitting in the House of Bishops, because it violates the third ar- ticle of the constitution. ‘The third subject on which they were ready to report was. on the expediency of excluding an assistant bishop from acting ag a member of a judictal court, when his principal isa member. On this they think it inexpe- dint to report, because the whole subject of trial of bishops was referred to them. On the substitute for the canon, ia roference to ex- pensey of conventions, they deem it expadieat to recom- mend It for adoption. Mr. Pacx rose and said he had @ resolution to offer, which was in the following words :— % Whereas, The doctrines and principles of the Protestant tantEpiscopal Church in this country are go firmly estab- lished—so justly balanced, and 60 well understood, as not to require frequent legislation ; and whereas, un- necomsaty interference produces confusion, tending to instability and party spirit, injurious to brotherly love and good order in our holy commanion— Resolved, That a special committee be appointed to inquire if any, and what, alterations shall be made in the time of holding the meetings of this bedy ; and that sald committee be instructed to report at the next gen- eral convention. SDr. Oarny said the same subject wes referred to a Committee at the last general convention, aud he under- stands they will report at this session. Mr. Pace then moved that his resolution be referred to the same committeo. Rey. Dr. Broox had no objection to the reference asked, or to the changing of the mevtings of this body; but he has strong objections to the preamble of that re- solution. He called for another reading of the pream- ble and resolution. for the purpose of seeing whether the Convention aro willing to refer it. ‘The Secretary accordingly read it, and Dr. Buoox suid he objected to the’ preamble, because it asserts literally that the discussion of important to- pics are calculated to do injury to the church; that its doctrines are 0 firmly estublised that they cannot be moved, and that the discussion of such topics as were discussed at lnat session is improper. He denied the ground taken in the preamble, and hoped that if the re- solution were pressed, there would bs some discussion on the subject, which had better be postponed. Laid on the table. Rey. Mr. Haxscumt, the chairman of the committee on the theological seminary, waid if there was no business before thy house, ne would report in part on the subject referred to hin committeo, He turned tbe attention of the house to the fifty-fifth canon, and said that incon- sequence of said canon not being complied with, the committee could not report fully. ‘Tho canon requires the secretary of every diocesan convention to forward to the General Convention a cortificate, stating the ox- act number of clergymen in the diocese, and the amount of funds paid, or secured to be puid therein, to the Ge- neral Theological Seminary, and also the nomination by the diocese of a trustes or trustees for said seminary; and without such certiffeate the nominatioa shall not confirmed. In consequence of « number of those certifi- cates being detective, they were not enabled to complete their report. Mr. Hasscuxe then submitted the trienaial report of the trustees of the Theological Sominary, which was read by the Secretary, aud,of which we give an abstract. ‘The report shows ihat the number of students during the past throe years, had been, in June, 184 59 “ "1846, + 63 bey 1847... 59 Of this number + 16 In 1846. ’ . + 19 In 1847 19 —loaving the present number of students, exclusive of the class just entering, about 40. ‘To the library there had been added 689 volumes. ‘The present number being 9,784.

The Sxcartany proceeded with the reading of the re- port.

The former, therefore, cannot be justly | © 80 regarded or inflicted as to bu rendered practicully the same with the latter, in points in which, according tothe established meaning of words, there is between them an essential difference. Functions, Spowers or rights, per- sonal or ofttclal, cannot be destroyed by the wi Which only suspends them When the 39th canon of the general convention of 1832 declares “ no degraded minister” (or which the canon makes the same thing, no | then to deposed minister.) “ shall be restored to the ministry,” it implies an awful extremity of punishment and suifer- ing on & particularly defined class of persons, which no man, or body of men, has, without express permission of luw, aright to inflict on any other class cf persons. Sus- pension cannot deprive a minister of a claim to restora- tion, except upon the principle which would subject the kind and degree of judicial punishment without ro- straint of law, to the will and discretion of a court.— Hence your memorialist argues, that if there is no power appointed by lew to termiuate & sentence of surpension, rnd if there is no general law regulating the term of sus- pension, and if such suspension, passed by any court, does not contain within itself provision for its termina- tion, either for prescribed time or on prescribed condi- |*0' tions, it is passed contrary to law and equity, or at least independently of law; either of which must be consider- ed as rendering it null and void; while its tendency can- not but be to tyranny and oppression, Your memorislist, therefore, respectfully pleads that he is now suffering under the shame and reproach, and under the manifold privations and afllictiona of an’ ille- gal sentence passed upon him by a court constituted un- der the authority of your venerable body, and that in the absence of any canonically appointed courts of ap- peala, be has an equitable claim upon the Supreme Coun- cil of the Amerioan Church, for redress of the grievous | ! Injury and wrong thus done unto him. In respectfully calling the attention of your venerable body to this subject, your memorialist will not pretend to independence of the personal considerations connect- od wit himself individ: relations, and with the id Usefal in the several grades of the christian minis. try. Still deeper, however, ho trusts, is the solicitudes with which the occasion tills me, for the cause of truth and justice, and for the christian roputation and inte- rests of our portion of the Church of Christ. Other branches of that church, and the world, will now have an opportunity of judging of our character for deference to law and order and for equitable regard to the rights and liberties of all sorts and conditions of men in our communion. Nor in judging of this will they forget our Peculiar responsibliity as & Protestant branch of the church, and one established amid the free institutions and the just and equal laws of the North American Re- public. Your memorialist confidently trusts that he will be understood to raise no question respecting his Right Reverend Brethren who pronounced sentence upon him, excepting in regard to thelr judgments. These, it is well known, aro often erroneous, in entire consistency with general intelligence, and with purity and uprightnoss of motive and intent. ' The question of the legality, or equi- ty, of judicial proceedings and decisions, he regards an the sacred right of every Christian freeman—which, when exercised respectfully and courteously, cannot be justly impeached on the ground of any of ita personal relations or bearings. Its exercise, in the present in- stance, your memorialist regards as an indispensable re- quirement of a conscientious sense of what ia jusy and right, It isa duty, in the honest discharge of which, in tho fear of God, he throws himself upon the Christian principles and feelings of your venerable body. fore you, you may by guarded by the Holy Spirit of wis- dom, understanding, counsel, and the fear of God, your memorialist devoutly prays.

He therefore hoped the subject would be ré- ferred to a committee, ferred to a special commitioe. Rev, Mr. Youna, of 8. C., offered tho following re lution, which was referred to the committee on canon: Resolved, That the committee on canons be instruct- od to inquire into the expediency of so amending canon 566 of 1832 as to allow the testimony required by said | canon to be furnished from other sources than the se- | cretarivs of diocesan conventions. Dr. Mason, of Maryland, offered the following resolu- tion, which was referred to the same committee :— Resolved, That the following be « substitute for the second section of the 9th canon of 1838, viz: The edi- tion of the book of common prayer, ret forth hy the joint! committee appointed gby the last convention, 1s hereby declared to be the st vadard edition.

The resolution was appropriately referred. Rev, Mr. Craik, of Kentucky, submitted a resolution from his diocese, recommending that the general con- vention be requested to repeal all special restrictions contained in canon 6th, of 1844.
