On the road to Santa Fe, at adeserted rancho about ten miles from here, they were met by some thirty or fort uerillas, by whom ‘they were exceedingly maltreate he guerillas took the eotirg party of travellera, and the vehicle in which they roda,tbeo an adjvining woods, and there held a consultation as to the policy of murdering them unreservedly. The guerillas made several demon- strations to sapere the carriage.and bura it, but were finally dissual-d trom their fiendish purpose, both murder and wanton destruction, by the expostulations and entreating decl jiony of the ladies, that no one of of them present was in any way or form connected with the Americans, either then or at any other time. Their request to have their lives spared, and their carriage saved from being burned, finally obtained, and they succeeded in procuring permission to proceed on their journey immed ately, but not till the maurauders had Btripped them of almost every thing in the shape of clothes and money. ‘A Mr, Castillo. a gentleman of this city, was one of the number; the guerillas took from him his sword and fire- arws, The constant exclamation of some of the rob- bers was that none but Americans ever travelled that road nowad«ys. Dr Galven, a native of Havana, who is direct from the city of Mexico, fell in with Mr. Castro's family at Jalapa, and accompanied them to this city; they ‘suffered very many privations in the encounter with the guerillas. By the kindness of this gentleman we were put in the reocipt of very important intelligence from the city of Mexico, He left the city of Mexico on the 7th of this month, and on the llth, at 5 o’cloca, P.M., he entered H mantla, (® town alittle east of the Perote road, and about half way between Perote and Puebla.) There he learned that the force of Gen. Lane had entered lied Defore, and so sudden and unexpected was his arrival, that Santa Anna had barely time to get away by ano- ther quarter of the town. The Americans captured two pieces of artillery belonging to the fores of Gen. Santa Anna, which the latter in his hurry had not time to remove, and also took two prisoners, Colonels Vega and Iturbide. Santa Anna, after leaving Hustmantia, which he did at the head of 1000 horse, was reinforced by 1500 men of the command of Gen. Rea, and both remained in the neighborhood of Huamantla till Gen. Lane’s departure, after which this town was again taken possession of by Gens, Santa Auna and Res, who, following up the rear usrd of the Americans, killed seventy men. princtpaily foebriated straggi-rs, and took twenty prisoners. The Mexicans had two pieces of artillery with them, one a brass 13-pounder and the other a 16-pounder, of the same metal Gen. Rew rallied out of Puebla at the head ofa pretty conriderable force, and was awaiting at ) Pinal, (atown afew miles south of Huamantla.on the same road to Puebia.) the approach of Gen. Lane, whose flank and rear the Mexicans are reported to have been inoccasantly harrassing. But wo know and are confident that though the Mexicans should muster a force four fold the amount of that which it is reported they have, yet Gen Lane, the Buena Vista hero, will extricate himself with honor and with glory from their midst, and wiil form a junction with his geueral, unscatched by the ordeal of passicg through the soldiers of Santa Anna and Res. *The decree by which it waa ordained that Mr: Pena Peva should take charge of the supreme power, in Junction with two ussociates, hrs been repealed, and | Santa Anna has agdin been called upon to assume the reins of government. if it cau be called one, end the commend of the sey.

Even should the rumor prove true, which reached us yesterdag, that Santa Anna has been recalled to power— to which we attach but little fuith—the documents which we annex will possess importance,as unfolding the views of two eminent citizens of Mexico, whose views proved too moderate to satisfy the expectations of their countrymen. But we do not yet believe that the over- threw of the government of Senor Pena y Pena has been s0 speedily effected, Circular of President Pena y Pena PRovisionaL Presipercy or Mexico, ‘Toluca, Sept. 27, 1847 { Excettent Sin—In the discharge of an inseparable duty imposed on ma by the constitu’ ion, for the faithful discharge of which I am responsible to God and my country, I have resolved to commence from this moment the exercise of the Supreme Executive power of the Republic, and to organize a government. which may be- come the cen! of the Nations! Union and may save Mexteo from t narchy and dissolation which threaten it under its present circumstances—circumstances by which the invader himself doubtless sees with surprise how much his designs of Soernanen or conquest are | promoted, the State being without. head. and public affairs involved in utter confusiom May it never be suid of me by my countrymen, or by foreigners friendly to Mexico, that through my irresolution or cowardice tse nation was abandoned to her sad fate, and that I alone am reapcusible for the awful destiny which awaits her. unless some constitutional authority gathers up and unites again the ties, now broken which should bind the States of the Republic together, and which may yet taake of them a respectable and powerful nation. [am fully of opinion that without beiug wanting in any of the queliflcations prescribed by the constitution, I can, at this moment, and alone, assume executive power; but even were there some coustitutional requirements with whioh [ could not rigorously comply, the same bein. by the foree of circumstances rendered iimpossible, even then, I say,! should feel bouad to place myself at the head of the sdministration of the Republic, as being called to power by the constitution, and in order to pre- vent a contest for this power whioh would inevitably en- sue by foree of arms, bringing on civil war, by which the Repubdlio would be« estroyed in the very presence of an army of invaders, When the public power of a nation cannot be embodied ina form strictly constitutional, the way to avoid anarchy cannot be to establiah an ad- ministratien absolutely unconstitutional and revolu- tionary, but to organize a government as nearly in con- formity with the constitutien as is possible. These are my views, and I flatter myself that they arelikewias en- wrtained by your Excellency; but I repeat to you that my conscience is tranquil, when | assure your Excel- lency that I have not the slightest doubt of the consti tutionality of the power and duty incumbent upon me of discharging the executive functions of the nation by myself alone, and without waiting for the assembling of Congress or the Council of Government, or the nomi- nation of associates. This. my resolution of instituting from this moment the National Government, may perhaps attract upon me the hatred of some faction, which irom the bloody ruins of the Republic may raise its head fierce to dispute for the possession of power for a few days, which will be to me but a martyrdom; such a faction may perhaps pr vail against the efforts which the nation will doubtlers make for its own salvation. Bat if this Presentiment should be realized, I shall have discharged my duty; and should I survive the last convulsions of the Republic, I shall retire to lament the fate of my country with no other solace than the tranquillity of my conscience, Your Exo-llency will acknowledge that this is perhaps the last attempt at the formation of a government which may be made in our unhappy country. and it awakens my deepest sensibilities to think that in this great work of political reorganization, Providence bas furnished my country with so weak an instrument as I. Only one consideration suyports me, and it is this: that my ad- ministration will last only a few days, if, as hope, | can obtain @ prompt reunion of the National Congress in the city of Queretaro, Actively employing all the means in my power to effect this reunion, andto remove as far as possible the obstacles in the way of it, I shall.afford my countrymen the most incontestable evidence of my dis- interestedness and of the desire which animates me to ae absolutely indispensable to avoid civil war or reby. admivistration in the out- 'Y.

Messrs. Reid, Irving & Co. were the agents of the City Bank, in London ; their agency consisted in keeping the transfer books of the stock of the bank held in England, and ,n paying to the stockholders there the dividends. Atthe time of their failure, they had £932, at the credit of the bank, intended to pay the let September dividend. This {s the extent of the implica- tion of the City Bank in that failure. The bank has drawn no bill on that house, or on any other in Europe, during the last year, nor has it purchased any foreign exchange whatever. The Loulsians State Bank had £6000 running on Reid, Irving & Co. at the time of the suspension of that house, which have been protested by the Lizardis. This is the extent of the connection existing between the banks of New Orleans and any of the suspensions in Europe.

The Present Tariff. The revenue under the present tariff, for the first quarter of the current fiscal year, exceeds the revenac ofthe first quarter of the last fiscal year, under the tariff of 1842, by four millions, nine hundred and forty-five thousand dollars, ‘This exceas.ison the increase. The returns already received of the fourth month, October show an excess of between eight and nine hundred thou- sand dollars over the corresponding month of last year; and when all are in, it will probably be augmented to a million. This cannot .be all ascribed to the fe- mine in Europe. Starving men do not eat iron or coal; and still these articles, which it was thought would be more injuriously affected by the new tarlif than any others, bring advanced prices, and an in- creased demand at those prices. We will soon be able to underbid Russia and Sweden, in supplying Europe with charcoal iron. England, having no wood, cannot manufacture charcoal iron, and is dependent on Russia and Sweden for the article. It will oon be her interest to buy of us. The export of wool and hemp bas also increased, and these articles have increased in price.— There is every reason to believe, too, that our exporta for the remainder of the year will be as great as they have been for the last season. There are two conditions of Europe, either of which will command a large export of breadstuffs from America—the one, great soarel- ty; the other, great abundance. In the latter conti gency, the quotations will not be so inflated, but never- theless, there must be a large and steady demand for American food, as an abuadant harvest always causes an increased consumption of five, or even ten per cent, Of cotton, too, there is every reason to believe there will continue to bee fair export. The English government is fully aware that all efforts for the cultiva- tion of the plant in her East Indian possessions will prove unavailing. ther the soil nor the climate is -adapted for its culture. Under the mort favorabie cir- cumstances, tho soi! will not yield one quarter as much to the acre as that of Missiseippl, and what it doos yield is of inferior quality and full of weeds. The soil, in- stead of being light und sandy, is loamy, thick, and heavy. Half the year the broiling sun bakes this thick soil hard, and the other half the rain pours down with out intermission, beateng the cotton to the earth, and rendering it unfit for use. Moreover, in order to protect the plants from the flerce heat of the sun, those who oul- tivate it are obliged to suffer a rank growth of weeds to spring up, side by side with the cotton, and to overtop it. From this cause the plant is puny, and the fibre is un- cleanly, and consequently of but little value. The scheme can never succeed, even with the aid of Mr. Ayl- win’s plan of reducing the duties on salt imported into India, the labor of the natives is barely sufficient to supply them with the most scanty subsistence; and, even as it is,many thousands die annually of starvation,and of diseases produced by want of ealt—the rice, which is the great staple of their food, being extremely unwholesome in that country without such seasoning. It would be impossible, therefore, to divert their labor into any new channel, without enormous outlay, which would yield poreturn, The United States, then, will continue to supply the world with cotton and corn. It evidences strongly the mischievous extent to which this has been rendered @ party question, that one is obliged to diselaim all party bias, in saying, as one is compelled to say, in all truth and candor, that it is vain to deny the beneficial results of the operation of this tariff. The evils which were, doubtless in good faith, apprehended from it, have not resulted. The unprece- dented prosperity of the country furnishes its complete vindication. it is to be hoped that, in future, the tariff question will be regarded as one which no party will presume to make a party question.

The opinion of the court requires the ac- cured in his cross-examination to regard certain limite- ons; and not unnecessarily to proceed into details of the history of California.
