~E LD. NEWS FROM YnxIco, — {From the New Orleans Picayune, Oct. oT, ‘The Bntish steamer Forth, Edwin Sturdee, Esq., commander, arrived at Ship Is!and early in the af- ternoon of Friday, the 20th inst. She left Tam- pico on the 14th, and Vera Cruz the 16th inst., and was at Ship Island one day ahead of her me. Her patsengers came up to town last night. A list of them and statement of specie brought are given in another column. Our dates by this ar- mal are to the 14th from the city of Mexico—a week later than we received by the Titi. ‘We have accounts from an intelligent Mexican, that the 9th of this month was fixed upon for a revolutionary outbreak in the city of Mexico, of which the reputed leaders were Generals Basadre. Tornel and Almonte. The government called out the National Guards from their quarters, and stationed them in the plaza, and artillery was sta- tioned to protect the square on which the palace fronts. The attempt was thus thwarted. Senores D. Augustin Iturbide and D. Manuel Parteanoyo, and imany other officers, have been thrown into prison by the government. The ob- ject ef the conspirators was to bring back Santa ‘Anna. All the papers allude to the projects on foot toenable Santa Anna to’ resume power, and men still predict that not two months will elapa? before he is reinstated. Two of his priva'e a zretaries, Senores Ariillaga and Gener, are nes. 4 Mexico, Seve proceeded thither on the lem ¥ sjage of the Porth, We have no new developeme in regard to the Tampico movement. The papers treat all the pretexts of Castilla as shallow and contemptible, regarding his operations as a Po of the Sierra Madre project, for which some of the papers would hold General Urrea responsible. General Busta- mente is to command the troops which are to at- tempt to stay the threatened dismemberment. ap ae amount, ima few days to 4,000 men, it 48 Said. The news we gave yesterday from Yueatan is confirmed by a further arrival at Vera Cruz. Great fears are expressed lest the Indians should be- siege and retake the towns of Sotuta and Tekax. A_new tariff has been reported in the Chamber of Deputies ot Mexico, which it 1s thought will be adopted. We have a copy of it, but no time to examine it before going to press, The Chamber, acting in the‘r capacity as grand jurors, have thrown out charges preferred against General Arista, the Secretary of War, by a large number of officers. ‘The war against the government monopoly of tebacco is still waged with zeal and with pros- pects of success. There was a report in Vera Cruz, on the 15th, that a vessel was ashore near Santiaguillo. Some supposed it to be the bark Eugenia. The U.S. steamer lying at Sacrificios went at once to her assistance. _ We find in the Monftor a letter from President Polk to General Herrera, in answer to one by the latter announcing his election to the Presigency. | pe is nothing in it requiring it to be trans- ated. The government is pursning a course of se- verity towards the press, though by legal rather than arbitrary measures. Senor Otero, the Min- ister of Relations, directs the prosecutions. For many years connected with the press, he was one ot the most powerful advocates of its entire freedom. | Senor Arrangoiz, formerly the Mexican Consul at this port, has been appointed Secretary of the Mexican Legation at Washington. This seems to us a judicious selection on the part of the Mexi- cans, and one which must be acceptable to Ameri- cans. ; We have not yet met in the Mexican papers any direct imputation upon the good faith of the go- | vernment of the United States in connection with the Sierra Madre project. Mr. Clifford, our minis- ter, has assured the Mexican government that our own will oppose the project to the extent of its powers. One paper says, ‘God grant that these repeated professions may be made in good faith.” ‘e see occasional accounts in the papers of atrocious crimes committed, but the number of crimes seem smaller than usual. The Mexican government iias sent a secret ex- dition to Tabasco, under command of the brave D ‘Thomas Marin, to attempt to arrest power from the notorious Miguel Bruno. Marinis appointed Commandante General of Tabasco, sailedfrom Vera Cruz with a command of 200men on the ‘steamer Neptuno. ‘The whole aflair was kept a profound secret until the expedition sailed. Mextco, Oct. 11, 1848. The ay season is now over, and business affairs D: are beginning to d more prosperous arpect. Several parties of Americans here are preper- g to travel toSan Blas and Mazatlan, off: the Pa- their way to California, some taking with es and other goods of various kinda, to fpectiute on, Notwithstanding all the rumors of revolutions thet have been afloat here for weeks and months past, no outbreak has as yet taken place; but this may in some respects be necounted for, by the circumstance of the go- yernment having in most effective condition a foreign lice force, (which I have spoken ot in a former let- hey now numbering upwards of three hundred and Atty men—a force fully capable of resisting and erush- ing almost any attempt that could be made in the country to raise a revolution, in Mexico at least, by any man short of Santa Anna; but ashe is yet at a civil distance from here, there is no immediate nros- pect of a pronunciamento on his part. The government is still in a very tottering con- dition, Without any unity of sentiment in the cabi- | net, or—what is an equally unfortuna‘e affair—n doliar in the treasury, President Herrera still, however, does what he can to keep the ship afloat, und would Coubilers do so had he different men in his administration, A few days since, the 4th, an interesting affair “came off” between the President a his Ministers and the Hon. Mr. Clifford, at a public audience which the latter had for the pur- pose of presenting his credentials from Washing- ton, not having received them until then. At the fare time Mr. Clifford presented a congratulatcry letter from President Polk to President Herrera — ‘The latter document has not yet been published. I am, therefore, unable tosend you @ copy. In making the translation of Mr. Cliford’s remarks, I have been the more careful, on account of rome vexa- tious, though trifling, errorr, that occurred in the published version of those made by him some time ce in the name of the diplomatic corps. On that occasion, in speaking of the ciimate, soil and pro- Guctionr of Mexico, he characterized the country as “a garden-epot” of the earth, To all acquaiated with the national resources of Mexico, this will not | appear a very highly wrought metaphor. In the Uni- States | ree the word “ paradise” js substituted for garden, This mistake will be readily accounted fot by all who reflect that any thing written or spoken here in English pastes through two trans- lajions befere it is published in tho American journals. The error is mainly chargeable to the Mexi- ‘can translator, who improperly rendered the word gar- den-spot by the Spanish word paraiso. which bas at least two meanings—paradise, and any delightful piace. Ne doubt he intended to ure it in its second significa- tian. But when the remarks were reprodaced in En:- Heh, in your city, the translator naturally enough adopted the first, thus putting into Mr mouth a wotd which he hud never employed.

The Monitor seems to be at a lors why the government does not ar- rest the revolutionists, as it doubts not the members must be well aware who they are, when they take such extreme precautions to guard against danger.

POLK, By thi President, Janes BucHANAN, Secreta Written at Washington, Auguct 9, A, D. 188, A warm discussion has been going on in the two houses of the Mexican Congress for some days, the subject of which is a bill to remove or lesson the duties on imports and exports—especially the latter. Such is the demand at present for exchange on the United States, that United, States Treasury drafts are sellin; at 17 to 20 per cent premium, and are difficult to get a those rater; for a small amount one man paid 25 per cent for Treasury drafts, This state of things has caused ase- rious lors to several here, who bought up large stocks of goods, and fold without foreseeing or calculating on the expense, risks and difficulties of getting their mo- ney home. Should, however, the bill now debating pass, it will have a most beneGciel result for those per. sons, and will increase the facilities of trade and com- merce between the two countries. To-day’s Monitor covtains the propored tariff; but from the present state of feeling manifested in both houses, it is doubtful if it pasres. Before closing this letter, I must again call attention to the shameful negleot of the United States govern- mentin regard to the communication between the States and Mexico. The United States mail bag, which English packet to Vera Cruz, re- the American Consul, or the per- ting for nim, being either ignorant of its being dor unwilling to torward it, leaving all here who have American corierpondence, without either a letter or paper. Such acircumstance as this is most unworthy of the gevernment at Washington, and is justly complained of by every American citi- ven in this city. Doubtless there are many in Puebla and Vera Cruz, who labor un. fame inconvenience, It may be d that Mr,Cliffofd, who is by no means the least sufferer by this want of a postal arrangement. will see to this on his return home. Notwithstanding the ccurier who brought the Trent's news, arrived here in the x orning. three days since, up to this date the Amert- can Mipieter has not, as I am informed, received any letters or papers, and this at a time when he doubtless would be likely to receive (did the mail come through) important communications from hisgorernment. The acket leaves Vera Cruz again on the , 80 that he is deprived of the means of replying in time, by the fame evil which prevented his receiving them.

Charge of Embezzlement —Oilicer Leland, of the lower police, arrived in town yesterday morning from Albany, ¢ in custody two Germans, by the names of State, 1s, of Charles Wickelheusen and Herman’ Bauer, on a | charge of embezzling various quantities of sill goods, | such as pursvs and raw silk, valued at over $100, from their employers, Messrs Louitz, Becker and Claudius, importers, No. 68 Jobn strect. "These men, it appears, were in the employ of the above firm, and at different times embezzled sik from the store, ' Some five or six pounds were found with aman in Duane street, where it had been sold at a cheap rate by the prisoner. The accused parties, finding themselves suspected, made | their ercape from this city to Albany, at which place they were arrested on, Sunday afterzoon, at No. 17 Montgomery street. On searching the trunks of these men a large quantity of the stolen silk was found. They were brought before Justice Lothrop yesterday, | and commitied to the Tomb> for a further hearing. <1 New System Sdopted —On Monday evening last @ young man, rather green, and from Green county, this State. by the name of the E. M. Stevens, was pe- ranbulating along Broadway, enjoying the sights of the eplendid stores, together with the vast number of retty girls who promenade that vicinity, holding out Tnducements tothe innocent youth end’ unsopiilati- Mr. Stevens was not long before he was attracted by the smiling looks and pretty coun- tenance of acertain young woman residing at No. 57 Reade street, at which place he was induced to visit. However, on leaving the premises he discovered that his purse bad vanished, containing about $40; this somewhat astonithed the poor countryman, an} not being accustomed to city movements of this na- ture, he consulted one of the policemen, whom he met near by, with a bright star shining on his left breast ; after relating the circumstances the policeman gave knowing nod, and a wink of his eye, and laughing, he nid, “1 fee, my good fellow, you have been ‘touched.’ “Touched,” said the green countryman; “what do youmenn, Lhay’nt been touched, | have been robbed. I know that much, and no mistake.” “Well,” said the policeman, “come with me and I will ree what lean do for you.’ The ficer then pro- | ceeded to the house poinjed cut by Stevensas the one he entered, and procec@td to the room, but no one wasin ; the officer then rearched the room, in order, if possible, to find the purre containing the money, but without success; and failing in their rearch, they lef the house, and thus fer the matter ended. The guilty parties feeling alarmed, and I:nowing full well that an arrest would be made, and further difficulties a corsequence, addressed an anonymous letter to Capt. Magnes, of the Sixth ward pelice, setting forth that if | the rom, at No. 67 Reade etrect, was searched, the money would be found that was said to have been taken from the countryman, Mr. Magnes went. to the 100m in accordance with the requisition of the let- ter, avd there, sure enongh, was the purse containing the money as described, the money was handed over to Mr, Stevens, the owner, who tendered Mr. Magnes twenty five cents for histrouble, This reward for his services Mr. Magnes very reepectfully declined, saying that he, (Mr. Stevens) had better retain the quarter, and recommended him to go to Sweeny’s and take breskfast with the said quarter, This anonymous letter tystem, adopted in the police department, is becoming a vew feature, which we shall nvtice hereafter more fully Charge Dismissed.

Prisoxen’s Counser objects to this mode of exami- nation ; it having no connection with the issue before the Court. and only tending to draw into this cause a collateral iseue to create a prejudice in the minds of the jury against the prisoner. Thr’ Dintnicr Artonxey —I propose to show that it wana premeditated design of the prisoner to kill the deceased, and for that purpoteysharpened the hatchet two day placed ‘the deceased in a position to carry out his de- sign. (Objection overruled ) Examination resuned.— Saw the mate two days be- fore sharpen and grind the hatchet ; itwas not be- fore used for anything, when witness saw it cleaned and ground; he asked it from him, to keep in the pally ; heenid,“ you can’t have it.

The Court decided that although the acts now offered to be proved, are distinct and inde- pendant acts, and Jead to a collateral issue, yet as they are offered to chow the motive of the prisoner, and with .shat mind the crime was committed, we think it ia admirsible, District Arronxey.—I_ now farther state thaf I . intend to show by this witness that the prisoner in- tended to kill the men fone by one, to cet possession of the ship and money, which he thought was on board, and then to run her ashore Witxrss,--On Monday forenoon I was in the galley when the mate came in and rat down ; asked me if I was 4 religious man ; I answered, not particularly. but knew what was good and bad; the prisoner then said he had a good plan in his head; “I can make both our for= tunes; he then saidthe passenger wos asleep in the cabin ; the captain was legning over the head-rail on the starboard ; Ican puttmy knife into the captain ond laugh at him at the same time; I then can go into the cabin, put my knife into the passenger and throw him out of the cabin window ; you can stand by with an iron belaying-pin. and if you reo any of the men approsch me, while this is going on, hit him over the head with the pin, and throw him overboard ; as to the man at the wheel, he sai him; when this was done. they could go into the eabin and take what money and watches there were there; they then could alter the course of the veesel and run her towards the shore; when they got her close into land they could order the others of the orew below and then go ivto the run, scuttle the vessel and send them down with her: they then could make the land in the bent, from whence they wouid, in all probRbility, be taken off by soma parsing vessel or the wreckers, and taken to New Orleans; from thence they could proceed to Boston and claim’ their wages of the owners of the vessel; if they refused to pay the wages then the priconer would go tothe insurance company and inform them that the veerel was lost on the Florida Reef by illegal stowage, and for this they would receive $1.00 or $1,600, which they could divide between them; they then could go to Boston and enter intothe maskeral business, and in the winter he the pritoner, would introduce witness to s7me ex- cellent company; the witness then said be was sick, and was not used to killing menor taking ships; the prironer said he did not wish witness to kill any one, ut only tortand by and ‘see that no one molested him; witness said that ifhe would let the vessel cot the other side of the gulfhe would assist him; the prironer then said he would leave the whole affair to | the witners; they then thook hands on the subject, and the prisoner went into the cabbin. iy Cross-examined —Never went by any other namo than that of Joseph Stone; never shipped by any other peme; is 26 yeara of age; is a native of York shire, North of England; has gailed from the United | States rince 1826; is not a citizen of the United | States; knew aman of the name of Gardner, at Sa- lem; if bis name was Gardner, I'll take oath he lived at Salem thea; he put me on board a vessel to coma to New York; it was about nine years ago; | would not Tecollect him if I eaw him now; [ have not been at Selem since; | don’t know the name of the schooner I came in nor the captain’s name; remember that after I came from the Coast of Africa, I came to Salem, and then went to some town to the north; think it is Manchester. if there is any town of that name down Eart; I don’t know the nome of the eaptain or the | Dame of the schooner; in 139, I called from this port in the Roscius, Capt.
