NEWS PAPERIAL=-PUBLIC OPINION IN MEXICO. ‘The North American (city of Mexico) ot the Sth of October, furgishes the following artiole, copied from FE! Porvenir, a paper publisk ed Fray luca, the prigent seat of the Mexican government It is a singular document, and bas for ite otject more than the mere abuse of tho army andl ts generals, The proposition to divide, of rather collect, the army into guorrilla parties, is too in- famous, we apprehend, to meet with favor from the mili- tary or oi iction in regardto the gen- eral uprising of the people of the Mexican States, will be negatived by the coolheaded and patriotic.

The editor of El Porvenir is down upon Santa Anna, in no measured terms, but more especially on those who conceded to him the extrsordinary powers, which, the editor asserts, in other bands, would have saved the capital In the Boletén ot Toluco, of the 24th Sept., there is a severe reply to the editorial articly of the day previous, signed by many members of the Congress. In ailuding to the controversy between the editor of Et Porvenir and the members ‘of Congress, the North Americun, published in the city of Mexico, remarks ;— “Fight it out among yourselves, gentlemen, but donot let the probabilities or the possibilities of our entrance into you: cupital be a bone of contention among you, as youray be fuily assured that the army, with its three or four bundred generala, aud its forty thousand other ofiivers to boot, could not have kept us outof the halls of she Montesumas, once we had made up our minds to go ia.’ ?? jemies to calum- oided presenting ‘orvinir, abor ARMY INTELLIGENCE.

We cannot undertake o return rejected communications At length we give to our readers the despatches of General Scott and his associates. They will be read not only with breathless attention in this country, but throughout all Europe. The pre- sent batch only contains the operations which took place previous to the armistice. (eneral Scott and his fellow-heroes can write, as well as fight. There is no reading of the present day which possesses half the interest of these extra- ordinary despatches, recording,asthey do, events | the most wonderful on record. We have neither time. nor room for further comment. The next bateh of despatches will be even still more important and interesting. They will contain, from the same spirited. pens, an account of the operations ‘before the city of Mexico, and of the capture of that ancient metro- polis. General Scott stands truly in an important position before the country and the world. Mr. Cilay’s Speech and Resolutions. Mr. Clay’s speech and resolutions, presented at the Lexington meeting on Saturday last, have created great astonishment in this community. His proposition to abandon all the brilliant ad- vantages gained in the war—to throw up Cali- fornia and both sides of the Rio Grande—to heat the poker for Mexico, without asking indemnity for the fuel used in the operation—are beginning to be considered the emanations of a mind op- pressed with years, or with misfortune. Among the democrats, such a policy is, of course, langhed at and ridiculed; among some portions of the whig party the same feeling is almost dis- played, besides among the great mass of inde- pendents and stragglers belonging to every camp. In short, every party seems to be astonished, confounded, paralysed at the propositions and movements of Mr. Clay, with the exception of a certain branch of the whig,party—that amiable and philosopic branch which advocates abo- lition, anti-rentism, short pantaloons, long hair, white hats, and other outré indications, inwards end outwards. Mr. Clay’s resolutions are plain and distinct propositions, His speech, such as has been re- ceived, corresponds with the resolutiong, and we have no doubt, when a full report reaches us, it will be eloquent, impressive and startling. But no eloquence, no years, no wisdom, can sanction acourse of policy which will throw ridicule and | contempt upon the two brilliant campaigns in Mexico—the one by Gen. Taylor, and the other by Gen. Scott. In eighteen months an army of American volunteers, fresh from their mountains and their valleys, and without any previous disci- pline, have m-t in nearly fifty battles, five or six times their number of a military race, conducted by military cflicers thirty years in the field, and have defeated them in every engagement—in every campaign—and ended by taking possession of all their principal sea ports, and their magnifi- centcapital. This campaign exceeds, in certain points of importance, any military oy erations that the world has ever seen in its past history. The conquest of Persia by Alexander the Great, presents no such daring and wonderful deeds, against such odds, as the American arms have performed in Mexico. Gen. Scott and Gen. Taylor, and their associates, have accomplished in eighteen months what took the old Roman legions one hundred and fifty years, and three Punte wars, to accomplish in the conquest of Carthage. In modern history there is nothing that can be compared with it but the two early expeditions ot Napoleon, and the victorious career of his legions in Italy; and yet, instead of one Napoleon, we have them by dozens.— There is not a general officer in the American army who is not just as capable as Gen. Taylor or Gen. Scott to occupy the positions held*by those officers. There is hardly a private in this army, that is not fit to command, in some rank orother. Europe and the world may well be astonished, All this has been accomplished by volunteers,moved and directed by a few mili- tary leaders of the last war, and aided and assist- ed by the cadets of the West Point academy. The British government is so astonished at these things, that at this moment, it has sent out instructions to its consuls in this country to procure the laws and regulations which govera the volunteers and the militia of the United States. Now, after such a campaign as we have briefly indicated—after an expenditure of fifty millions of dollars, and a loss of ten to fifteen thousand of as brave men und generals as ever fell—after reaching the capitol of Mexico, and possessing all her seaports—is it possible that any man, pre- tending to be a statesman, claiming to be an American, and willing to stand by his country, cin come forward, and with the Lord’s prayer on his lips, and ‘‘a grace before meat” on his tongue, calm!y propose that all these advantages—all this blood and treasure—that all these fruite, should be abandoned and thrown away, and that we fice yesterday, on ® target excursion They marched with admireble precision, and showed that they were under very excellent arill Tue Movxaoz Buuys —This company also passed our office yesterday evening, on their return from a target excorsion, Their target appeared also to be pretty well riddled, New Hisrontcan Socretry.—Thia society celebrate their forty-third aoniversury on the eveningof Friday, the 1th, Hon, Benj.

It would be children’s play. We do not believe there is a fraction of the people of this country that woul — sanc- tion such a course of action on the part of their government, their President, or Congress. There is, to be sure, a small faction of fanatics who din the world about the colored race, that would sanction the wildest notions, under the name of humanity and moderation; but beyond that rump, it is our firm belief there exists among the American people not the slightest disposition to adopt such a policy as that indi- cated by Mr. Clay. The measure he proposes does not settle the Wilmot proviso question— it dodges it altogether; but we conceive the Wil- mot proviso to be a mere straw in the way of a railroad car. It is no impediment to the great movement of the age. Tt is all talk and bluster, and end in smoke. In this part of the country, therefore, the speech and resolutions of Mr. Clay have fallen onthe public mind like a hand grenade. The first effect of it will be to rend into two factions the whig party, juet flushed with the victory it ‘has accomplished in this State. There is a por- tion of the whigs who will adhere to Mr. Clay, as their candidate, up to the day of judgment; but there isa large section of them,with American teelings and American principles, who will never follow the course pointed out by him; and who will support any other candidate for the Presiden- cy, in preference toa man who would take such a course. Gen. Taylor, heretofore, has been named; but he hos written letters enough to injure his prospects. We are persuaded, theretore, that the name of General Scott, instead, in con- nection with future events, will be brought for- ward with great force, and this, too, by a sec- tion of the whig party who will support him in preference to any other candidate. Such, we believe, will be the result of Mr. Clay’s singu- lar movement. We will, however, wait, and watch, and report the progress of things as they are developed. But, rely upon it, Gen. Scott has a large body of friends in the whig ranks, and they will not now miss the chance of trotting turn, stabbed his adversary fn the abdomen quite doubtful whether the wounded man would recover. him into the ring.

There is nothing new in them. The feeling in Peru against European inter- vention on the South American continent, is very strong indeed, as it is among all the other republies there; and the course of General Rosas in the’effairs of La Plata, is highly ap- plauded, | Affairs between Bolivia and Peru were in the same unsettled state as at last advices. Arrarrs In Cusa.—We are in receipt of Ha- vana papers to the 30th ult., by the bark Rapid. By way of Charleston we have received dates to the 21 inst, In the Faro Industrial of the 27th ult. there is an article claiming the honor of the discovery of the electric telegraph for a Spaniard, Don Francisco Sabia, who is stated to have read a paper on the subject before the Academy of Sci- ences at Barcelona, about the end of the last century, and that ‘his idea was experimented upon successfully. in presence of the Prince of Peace, on the 29th November, 1796. The politi- cal troubles which have reigned ever since in pain are assigned as the reason of the inven- tion having fallen to the ground. Quite an advance is taking place in the news- paper world in Havana. The Faro Industrial ne commenced issuing a weekly illustrated edition. Gen, Flores and Col. Wright were at Havana, on their way to Venezuela, via Jamaica. Arrams IN GuaTemaLa.—We are in receipt of files of the Gaceta de Guatemala and La Revista, to the 17th"September. Kvery thing was perfectly quiet there. The 26th anniversary of their independence from Spanish government, occurred on the lth Sep- tember, and was duly celebrated. The editor of La Revista congratulates his countrymen on the occasion, and compares their condition with that of the Mexicaas, all of whose political re- vulsions and ‘present difficulties, even, he attri- butes to the absurd manner in which their men in office managed things, or rather mismanged them. Agriculture is progressing in Guatemala, and efforts are making to encourage further advances in this branch, {From the Gaceta de Guatemala, Aug. 27 } Krom a comparative statement of the value of the im- ports and exports, taken from the custom house books in Guatemala, for the years 1945 and 1946, and 1846 and 1847, made up tothe Bist May, each year, the value of the importation for the former year, amounted to $663,449 43g rs., whilst this year it yields $939,279 3 rs., giving an excess in favor of the latter year of $169,829 6 ra. The value of the exports. on the contrary, shows a de for tho former year they amounted to $1,039.785 51a, and the latter $1.014,865 3 rs., leaving « deficit of 45320218, This falling off has been accounted for by the indigo xoing direct to Yzabal from San Salvador, in- stead of whioh that artiele was formerly brought to Guatemala first, aud from thence sent on for exporta- tion. It is also stated, that no doubt is entertained that the cause of the value of the imports being much larger this year, has been the continual peace Guatemala has enjoyed, and the confidence which the present govern- ment inspires. a Theatrical and Musical, Parx Tueatne.—The admirable play ef the “ Cava- lier’? was] again performed last evening at the Park, and with the same success that has attended it on former oc- casions. Mr. Pitt, by his admirable personation of the high-minded and sensitive Hargrave, won the roba- tion of the heuse, and the other characters ¥ | sustained as could be desired. Tho afterpiec: he | new and deeply interesting moral drama of » Bot- tle,” founded on Cruikehank’s graphio illu ons, known by that title. The scenes are painful! ural, and many of them wrought up to an intensit ally horrible. There are eight tableauxs, First: © The Kappy house”, shows the inside of the neat and eom- fortable house of a thriving mechanic, with his wife and ebildren about him. The table is laid, and Richard ‘Townlay, the mechanic, for the first time introduces the bottle; his wife remonstrates foretell thy evils which mustresult from intemperance. The drama on, aad the successive scenes show “the sot discharged,” the “execution the cou@rmed drankerd at * the public house ;”’ then follows a scene of domestic misery, “ the dead child,” the infant having buen brought to an early death by privation and exposure; its parents are beggars. Drunken, brawling and ‘ brutal violence” follow, and next “the dead wife—murder.”” The bot- tle has done its work, and finally, “the drunkard a hopeless maniac.” The by-play of the piece is exceed- ingly good, introducing a capital low comedy character, first @ pot-boy and afterwards a pie-man; this part is handsomely sustained by W. B. Chapman. In fact, the whole thing is weil dramatised, and it has been produced at the Park with great care. Mrs. Jones, who plays the part of Ruth Townlay, the drunkard’s wife, deserves great credit for the manner in which she acquit her- self, The moral lesson whioh the piece inculeates, can- not but be forcibly impressed upon the mind of the au- dience. We think itcannot but draw. ‘lo-night Mr. Chas. Pitt appears as Sir Giles, in “A New Way to Pay Old Debts.”’ Soweny Tueatar.—The beautifal piece, * The Stran- ger, or Misanthropy and Repentance,’ was performed at this theatre last eveniog, Mrs. Shaw taking the part uf Mrs. Haller, Mr. Marshall that of the Stranger, Mr. Clark that of Baron Steinfort, and the remaining cha- rasters a5 well filled. This is all we can say of this piece, for we found it impossible to procure @ seat, so densely crowded was the house. Hundreds, we were in- formed, were obliged to leave without being able to ob- tain admittance, ‘Chis is the best commentary that can be formed on the attraction which the Bowery presents at the present time. ‘The new gtand national spectacle, the “ Revolution, or the Patriots of 1776,” was likewise performed last evening; but, from the cause mentioned above, we are prevented from noticing it in detail, until | the soultitude thins off. The same bill will be performed | this evening. Cuatnam Tuearre.—The nautical drama of “ My Poll and my Partner Joe,’ was performed here last evening, to one of the largest houses of the season, Mr; Hield taking the principal part. Afterwards,the Mode! Artiste gave a variety of mythological and classic rep- reseatations, which were, as usual, hailed with vehe- meat applause.

Surneme Court—Cuamnens, Nov 15,—Before Jud Edmonds.—The People vs. Madame Restell,—An appli- cation was made to-day by M¢rars. Graham and Brady, to have Madame Reatell admitted to bail. The counsel for the prisoner contended, that when a writ of error was signed and a stey of proceedings granted, it was no longer # matter of discretion with the judge to admit the party to bail; he was bound by the statute to take such bail as would ensure the appearance of the prisoner in the Supreme Court to receive sentence, in case that court affirmed the judgment of the court below. They further contended, that even if the taking of bail was in the discretion of the Judge, he ought net to place the prisoner in @ worse condition than she was in before she was tried. She was then indicted for a felony and ad- mitted to bail. She was afterwards tried for the felony and only found guilty of » misdemeanor, and if error of law was not apparent in the judgment of the court be- low, a writ of error would not be granted; they contend- ed, therefore, that in this view of ths case the prisoner hades entitled to bail, pending the decision in the court of review, Mr, Ocpen Horrman and the Distaiet Arronnsy, appeared on the part of the people, and argued that it was a matter purely in the disoretion of the judge to ad- mit to bail or not. Where a party is held to bail before conviction, the presumption of law isin favor of in- novence until the accused is convicted; there the pri- soner is entitied to all the favor that can be grantad consistently with the due administration of the law, but after conviction the case is altered; there is then no lon- ger any doubt of tho prisoner's guilt. The prisoner in this case has been found guilty by a jury of twelve men, and before a judge renders that verdict inoperative and lets the prisoner out on the world again, he willtake care that in the judgment record of the court below there must be more than a mere technical erior in some walporens point of law. ge Epmonps suid, he would adopt in this case the rule laid down by Justice Cowan in cases of felonies, which was not to take bail, and the statute made no dis- tinction between felonies and misdemeanors ; but there was another reason why the prisoner ought not to be admitted to bail; her sentence began to run the day it was pronounced, and the period for which she was sen- tenced may expire before a decision can be had in the Supreme Court on the writ of error, in which event, should the judgment of the court below be affirmed, the ould be inoperative. She must, therefore, be to the custody of the sheriff. 8. Circuit Court, Nov. 13.—Present, Judges Nel- son and Betts —Decisions,—Benjamin Wilder and others va.

Bold Attempt to Break into the Seventh Ward Bank, Seventh Ward Bank, situated on the southeast corner of Burling slip and earl street, between Saturday night and Monday morning.

The stock market was a little more buoyant this morning, but the transactions were to a moderate ex- tent. At the first board, Canton advanced 4 per cent, Norwich and Worcester 4, Pennsylvanis 6’s %; Morris Canal, Reading Railroad, and Treasury Notes, closed at prices current on Saturday; Harlem fell off per cent, and Stonington 34. Although some of the fancies show an improvement, there has been no change in the complexion of the money market. The banks are par- tially panic struck, and are contracting as rapidly as pos- sible. ‘The drain of several hundred thousand dollars im apecte, for shipment to Europe, has had the effeet which might have been expected. We hope the fright they have experienced will dothem a great deal of good and induce them to confine their operations to » safe limit. Contraction is the ory, and we shall ring it in the ears of all as loud as possible. It is the only thing that will save us froma revulsion as disastrous as that which sweeps over England. At the second board there was very little done, with- out any change in prices. The demand for exchange for this packet, (Cale- donia,) has been much better than we anticipated, from the high rates demanded by drawers of first rate bills. Ten per cent premium have been obtained for sterling bills of unquestionable character, and shipments of specie to some extent have been mado by the Caledonia, in pre- forence to remitting bills of any kind. Abeut three hun- - dred thousand dollars in specie go out in the Caledonia; and as much more will be shipped by the Washington, in the event of advices by the Britannia, now nearly due, with eleven days later accounts, being of a gloomy na- ture. Should the Britannia bring favorable reports rela- tive to the European markets, there will be « partial suspension of specie shipments, and an improvement in the standing of many bills in this market.
