About daylight they reached the mountain of San An tonie Eesoapulalco. The track over and around this mountain ceomed too diffloult to traverse on foot, but the leader was followed, andit was accomplished—a hacien- da reached, and the futigues of the jourmey rested off by a good night’s sleep. Feeling pertectly secure that his movements were un- kaown, the General did not start until late next morn- ing, and after a jourmey of three leagues again halted at the hacienda of San Cristoval, represented as being ¢! most beautiful scome in the country. The next plac ree as El Plapa,the euthorities of which came out, and with «large white flag in hand, tendered the com- raand the hoapitelities of the place. A few moments passed, and again in the seddie and off for san Nicholas, where every thing needed was speedily provided At 7 o’clook that night they again started, and after travel- ling fourteen consecutive houra reached Tuiaacingo. Our readers were apprized by a letter from the com- mand, published inthe Star, that Paredes had escaped from his house in that town, by a back way, » few moments before it was surrourded. Tue wife of Ge Paredes very hospitable to the @exeral and his staff. It was early i) the morning when they reached Tu- lancingo, and they rematned all day.

Police Intelligence. Bstensioe Defutcation On Thusaday last, the ox tensive house of Messrs Vyse & Co , importers, No. 1 Wiliam street, was thrown into some conriderable ex- oitement, owing to the defale: clerk, Marvine McNulty, who is ascertained to have em- heauied from the above firm some $30,000. It appears from the facts in this caso, that MoNulty hes been a confidential olerk in that firm for some five years past, at a salary of $4,000 @ year; and about six weeks ago, from some accidental circumstances, suspicion rested upon ing some defalcations, and on Thurs- ly ascertained that MoNulty faulter, bat to what amount they were pnable to ascertain; but enough was discovered to w: vant the firm in discharging him from their service. The next day (Friday morning.) McNulty called upon Mr Vyse, and stated that he wou'd go out and see his ad whatever money: were short,he would make up. This was the last timo McNul'y was seen by that firm, and not returning to the store as promised, on Saturday Mr. Vyse madea complaint before Justice Drinker, and ® warrant was irsued for MoNulty’s ar- rost, and placed in the bands of officers Welch and Hays, who searched the British steamer before ber departure, but without success. It was sub- sequently ascertained on Sundsy that MoNulty bad evidently taken passage under the ni of jones, in the bark Ann Louisa, Capt.

However, if they should fail to overtake her, they will make their course direet for the pert of Matar 2as; and if, perchance, they should arrive before the bark, they will lay off the port and board her before she enters, secure their prisoner and the money, and immediately return for New York McNulty is s men about forty-three years of age, ‘ormerly a merchant in thie city, aod was once one of the appraisers in the cas- tom ho Ho is known to have berrewed over $6,000 a few days before he vamosrd.

There are a number of small wooden houses which ontirely dis- figure the appoaramce of some of the most, business and handsome streets of the ward. The streets are kept very clean, and free from filth of every deseription. ‘chere is one thing, however, which doos very little credit to the appearance of Grand street. The market between Grand and Broome, and fronting on Essex street, presents a very poor appearance. Its ides are filled with bills of every description and cha- r, and it looks more like stable than aplace where od things of life aro sold.

[n tho upper sestion of the ward, where most of the chiffoniers are located, the buildings are generally small, aud con- #Hructed of wood, and the building of private residences is very little carried on in that vicinity. In the Ninth ward are still « number of old houses, whish are said to have been standing in the days of the revolution; they are generally in ® poor condition, and presenta very natique appearance ‘There in great room for improve- ment in this ward, andit seems to have caught the oon- tagious influence, the vacant lots being filled up very fast.

He conteded that, asanation, as Americans, as republicans, with the liberty they allenjoyed under the starsand stripes. they were bound to offer their aympa- thy to France, ie did not mean to say that the people of Europe were to be bound by what they did; but be was of opinion that the time would srrive when their con- stitat would be the constitution of all the world. He anil sred that the principles of the American constitu. jon Fonld obtain oli over Europe Gentlemon seemed to be alarmed at their taxing sotion in advanes. Sup. pose the revolution was not sacomplished, would it not show the good will of America, whero it was due? Was it pot better to thus act than to reat upon their oars, until they should hear from France? He jknew that men from America had as- tually gone to France to aid in her struggin, and in the stragglo of every oppressed nation, whether of Ireland, France, or sny other nation on the European continent. The tyranis of Europe would tremble at these movements, because of their oppresrious of the people; and theyin Ameriow would not only aid and aa- fist, but they would supply the oppressed wits meann to establish free government. These paopls were com: pellad, many of them, to flee here, to the land of liberty, to escape oppression, and he contended they were bound to support the resolution, as a nation of fyeemmen. ‘Tho resolutions ought to pans, end ought to be published to the world—that they were willing to sustain the caute of freedom in France, and everywhere that despotism: suled—and to protect freedom by their own ‘stars and stripes.” Ald Puasen again rose, in reply to Ald. Lawrence, and adyoeated the adoption of the resolutions, which he would take occasion to read, as follows:— “Whoreas it appears that"the French on, indig- nan: at the oppression, corruption, and tyranny of @ jnonarchical government, has snoceeded in offec ing its cverthrow by a revolution, proposing to establish on its ot epuctic; and whereas, consetous that the vepud. loan institutions of America have mainly contributed to ite p osperity, liberty and greatness, and are best coleulated to develope the powers, and secure the rights o/ man, We desire to now them extended to the oppressed. yieases Of Europe, ond identified with the mations that have given to the worlda Lafayette, a Hampden, and an Emmett. “Therefore, resolved, That appreciating the bleewin, of free institutions, and grateful for the services rea- Gored to Auerica in its struggle for independence, we sympathies with the French people im their recent united efforts to replace a European monarchy by European republic, and establish the freedom and e quality of the new world among the oppressed nations of the old.”’ The quostion on the adoption of the resolution was here put and carried, with one dissenting veice, that of Alderman Lawrence.
