“EURTHER FROM CALIFORNIA. i. The Indians. The San Diego Herald, of the 22d May, contains the following :— A party of Americans, Frenchmen, and Mexicans have just arrived here from Sonora, from whom we gather the following particulars :— They are five aus ‘om Camp Yuma, on the Co- lorado, and report Mujor Hointzelman’s co! as all well. Major rews, with thirty men, had ne on & scout up the river. They report the Indians as being all quiet on tho route, wih the exception of the Yumas, with whom they did not come in contact. Tne Mexican government has » ‘sent large reinforcements to the troops in Sonora, to effect, ible, the reduction of the Apaches, and com) Choe savages to cease their accustomed tory invasions Some seven Aundred soldiers ad already arrived in Guaymay, and more were xpected. * line of frontior posts will be established on the northern boundary of Sonora, taking in every possi- ble by which the Apaches can enter, or have been in tho habie of escaping with their plun- 4 der. Intelligetce from New Moxico announces that the United States troops in that re- ion gro_actively engagéd in hostilities with ‘d me Indians, who, it is probable, will now take refuge in Chihuahua, where they are received with open arms by the inhabitants and government troops in that State. ‘The fact appears rather start- Ing to en American, that one State of a federal republic should openly receive and countenance the deadliest foe of axsister State und of the gene- ~ ral government. Yet, not only is this the fact, but they are publicly known to distribute ra- “tions to these Indians, once a month, in the town ef Jannos. They also offer a market, not only for the horses, mules, and cattle, stolen by ‘these savages from Sonora, but even go so far as to purchase their fellow countrymen and wo- men, who my ¢ have been carried off from their homes by the apenas: not for the purpose of libe- ratin; ant restoring them to their homes, but in orderto make peons of them—a state of bon \ worse than slavery, and from which they never dis- -enthrall themselves. All these facts are fully known by the general government in Mexico; but yet, nothing is done to prevent it, or to correct the ~ abuse—from which the American reader can draw his own inferences as to the moral leprosy that taints the whole political existence of that unhappy nation. Large aumbers of Americans and French were go- ‘ing into Sonora to work the extensive mines of that * State. A number of parties were airoaty out “‘prospectipg” for mines, and our informant tells us that a new and pamercnes rich silver mine has recently been discovered. There is sourcely a moun- * tain inthe State (and it is nearly all meuntains) that does not contain a mine of some kind or other, } which is and has been for many years lying un- worked, from the dread the inhabitants entertain of ‘the Apaches. It is confidently asserted, that intwo * years from this time the State of Sonora will equal California in mineral wealth and commerce. ‘That sho has within her own borders the means to do so, we ourselves feel confident, and we flatter ourselves that we speak not unadvisedly on the subject, as we have travelled leisurely over nearly the whole State; but that such will ever be the case under a Moxican administration is very much to be doubted. Everything is done there by favoritism. Senor Fernando Cubillas, the present Governor of the » State, waseducated in France, and is a gentleman of talent, education and accomplished manners; but -unfortunately his hands are tied by old Manuel Gan- -dara, who in reality guides the helm of State, and "whose only desire is to enrich himself and maintain | » the power and influence of his family. Tho govern- «mont do not object to foreigners working the mines, with the 6xception of ‘‘yankees.”” Some how or other, we are strangely of opinion, that e’er many years none but ‘“‘yankees” will work them. We shall enter on this subject more fully at ano- », ther time. The French Expedition to Sonora. THEIR HOSTILITY TO THE AMERICANS—MEXICAN JEALOUSY OF THE AMERICANS—INVIBIOUS ORDERS. a the San Francisco Herald, May 26.] Mr. W.S. Moore, who joined the French company of seventy-four that left California somo time last fall fer Sonora in Mexico, has jus’ returned by way of Mazatlan, and from him we gether the following particulars relative to the past history and course of the expedition :— Tho party of French which he had joined by in- vitation of the captain, Mons. Lepindry, were well received by the inhabitants, and were granted by ‘the government three leagues of land near Carcos- ; py about eighty leagues from @uyamas, at the ' head of the Santa Clara valley, on condition they : pe it for ten years before disposing of it. _ They have algo received from the authorities and it habitants thirty horses, thirty mules, thirty bur- vos, and [page for six months, to sustain them until they can raise sufficient for them- selves. They have not yet commenced mining, as they had at first intended, owing to the neighbor! of the Indians, who had sworn vengeance against them, and were onthe look-out for an Sppersunity to wreak it. They kept watch and ward at all times, and were pre- pared to give the savages a warm reeeption, in case they made an attack. They have applied to the overnment for liberty to send for 500 more of their countrymen, either from California or France, which application had been granted As soon as these reinforcements reach them, they will be strong enough, and design to work the rich mines > inthe north. Wo should mention that the grant of the three leagues to the Frenchmen was on the express condition that no American should be al- lowed to join the colony. After they had advanced into the Indian country, a large portion of them insisted that Mr. Moore should leave them, and made the most ferocious threats against him and all other Americans. He was at first not inclined to obey; but asthe French attempted to take his life, and were only prevented by Capt. Lepindry, » who was his friend, he quietly left Am camp, and made bis way back to” the Mexican settlements. At Guaymas he met Mr. Thompson, who, in com- pany with Mr. Hays, had been conducting a party ¢ of ten into California, but had been driven back at the crossing of the Colorado by the Indians, who were then eet Y every American they could tay their hands on. Mr. Thompson atated he had trailed a party of about 100 men ahead of him, and at the mouth of the Gila came across their camp, ‘but could see nothing but. bloody clubs. Ho could track them no further, and concluded they had been murdered by the Indians. After he and his party had been compelled by the Indians to turn back from the Colorado, they struck down south into Sonora, and were compelled to valk some eighty miles before they reached a settle- ment. At the small town of Ermis they came upon “the party of seventy-four Frenchmen who had so summarily driven Mr. Moore off. The Frenchmen encountered them in the streets with threatenin Jooks and ready arms. Before attacking the hand- ful of exhausted Americans, however, they deter- ynined to -heap every indignity upon them. Their first act was to advance, and seizing one of Mr. \ Thompson’s party by his long beard, jork a handful of hair out. The Americans were compelled to re- treat into the house of the Alcalde, which the French, now wrought up to a sci of passion, + surrounded and made preparations to force. Y i ‘ that the Americans were under his protection, and should not be harmed—that they were few, and worn out by along march through the desert, and eould not protect themselves against the odds that were brought against them. The rvenchmen would pay no attention to his remonstrances, so he erdered out the inhabitants to assist him. With their aid he succeeded in getting the Americans out of tho town, and sent a strong guard with them for fifteen miles. As they left the Frenchmen told them, “ You may escape us, but there are parties behind who will get you.” Mr. Moore states Mr. Thomp son is convinced they would have been all massa ored but for the interposition of the Mexican authori- ties. The reason the French assign for their hostilily tt¥ Americans is, that they were treated badly at Moguelumne Hill, in this State. T. Moore was delayed a long time at (fuaymas hy the authorities refusing him passports to leave. Where being no vessel in port, or likely to be for months, for San Francisco, he applied for a pass- port to cross the gulf into Lower California, so as to make his way up by land to San Diego. It was yefused. He then attempted to bribe some of the wficers, when he was arrosted and put under a uard. He semt for the American Consul, who en- deavored to obtain the desired passport for him from phe authorities, but was informed it was impossible, ‘as orders, which were shown, had heen received from the central government not to allow any Amorican a passport into Lower California. Qur ‘consul had immediately written to the American Minister at Mexico, comple OE the injustice of these orders, and asking instructions. While detained at Guay- mas, Mr. Moore desired to satisfy himself beyond westion as to the report he had heard that no Ame- Means would be permitted to settle in the country. For this purpose he applied to an English gentleman, Mr. Thos Waller Perkins, who had long resided in Guaymas, and occupied a high and influential posi- tion in the town, to aid him. Mr. Perkins under- ‘wok the case, and the following report, signed by himself and now before us, will show what Ameri- cans have to expect in Sonora :— REPORT T faithfuily report to you the remlt of my interview with his Excellency. Fernando Cabillas, Governor of the ) State of Sonora, on the subject of Foreign Colonization: * 1 proceeded to Uris, where [ requested Dr, James Campbell, aa American, to go with me to the Governor, to make kuowm our plan, and ask for license, Mr i declined again appearing before his Excellency, having been so positively refused when he went to him with the deputation from Captain Hayden and com. paty, who were retused both the liberty of mining aut passports, or letters of irity. 1 afterward solicits Oe Ton dio Suckstoff, on behalf of the Germans. who ¢aid he deemed any appl 1 useless, Thus, baying At this stage, the Alcalde appeared and declared | C0, “Ordinances de Mineria ;"" right of locating land for agriculture under the colonisation act of Mexi- co ; to receive implements, tools, seeds, animals, and pro- visions, similar to those given to the Fremch company. Said colonista in return to reoeive an oath, tobe adunini tered by the Mexican Consul in San Francisco, Valifornia, other as the Governor or State might ap- point, to su the constitution and sovereignty of Mexico, and to defend her frontier against all forelgn ag- grersion, Indian or otherwise. And in case any of tho aforesaid colonists inte: any impediments to the ad- ministration of the land, or by arms or otherwise proved himself disloyal to his oath of allegiance, he should, on fair conviction thereof, forfeit all hia right, title, amd in- ‘terest of all government grants, and to all benetits accru- ing therefrom. Such being our desire, I requested his Bx- cellency todo me the favor to inform me what was the accustomed mode of procedure, wheiher by petition to his Excellency, or to Congress. In answer, he told me tbat the sprvprete mode was by memorial ‘‘instancia’’ to himself, when, if he deemed it necessary, it was then passed to the State Congress. I therefore thanked him, and returned to prepare an “instancia.”” In the mean- time, being informed that the Governor had said that in the act legalizing the French colony there was a clause preventing them from receiving any American into their colony, I deemed it my duty again to apppear before the Governor, and Taquize into the validity of the statement, which was done as follows :—*If your Excellency please, it is our earnest desire so to form ‘and modify our ‘instancia’ that it may be im accordance with the previous legislation of the Congress of this State, and alike acceptable to the legislators and people of the Mexican confederation; nevertheless, I am cre dibly informed that a portion of the people mentioned in eur requisition, viz., the aus, have, by legislative enactment, been prevented not only from colonizing themeelves, but alsofrom joining the people of other nations. who might colonize here. Ifthe impred- sion 1 am under is inaccurate, I will thank yous Exoei- lency to be corrected.’? He repled: L have positive orders from the city of Mexico to sanction the establishment of colonies in the State, but as far as possible to prevent the introduction of Americans. L replied: Your Exceilency having, from other business. my letters of security iu your porsersion, must know that I am an Englishman by birth; therefore your instructions from the city of Mexicocould have no particular reference to me—it would make no personal difference; but though to me there was no indi- vidual difference, yet im the furtherance and¢xecution of my plans, in the fulfilment of my designs, which were in- tended not only for the welfare of this State, but for hu- manity and civilization, those “ orders’? would make a difference great and important, so much so that I doubt whether with all the energy of English character and the Perseverence of our German coadjutors, we should be able to free your borders from the savage foe that has deso- lated your frontiers, that has made the fairert portions of your country into a wilderness, and consigned thousands of her citizens to a most brutal slaughter—that has de- prived the government of this State of those resources andrevenues that she might have were her mineral trea- sures made available, her agricultural capacities fully de- veloped, and her citizens on the frontier living with con- fidence and security. This might be done, and more: the capitals of surrounding countiies would open their ave- nues of trade and occupation, and consummate the gene- ral advantage resulting from a more perfect civilization; but no partial remedy will cure her infirmity. and if the dose I have prescribed should be deemed unpalatable, I must ask for time to study before I alter my rAaeeripton. THOMAS WALLER PERKINS. After this reply had been received, and no pros- pect of getting away from Guaymes by sea appear- ing, he went down by land to Mazatlan, where he was joined by Mr. Thompson. He stated that another company of forty Frenchmen had arrived at Guaymas onthe 28th of April, the day he left. The two harrassed Americans at last took passage on board a sailing vessel for this port, where they arrived afew days ago. Mr. Moore informs us that no American can now obtain a passport to land in Lower California, or go into tho interior of Sonora— and without them they are sure to be maltreated. Although on entering Guaymas he had with him his pemreres regularly,issued by the Mexican Consul ere, and letters of security, every Moxican he met, except the few gentlemen of the higher classes, scowled upon him as he passed, and by words and ac- eee coneg: their hostility to the ‘‘detested Yan- ees. After the publication of the above in the San Francisco Herald, the French citizens of San Fran- cisco held a meeting at Mons. Delessert’s office, to consider the course to be adopted in view of tho re- rt made by Mr. Moore, in the Herald, of the con- luct of the French towards the Americans in So- nora. A letter addressed to Mons. Dillon, the French Consul, by Mr. Hopper, was read, de- nouncing, in the strongest terms, the course pur- sued by the French, and enclosing a circular con- taining Mr. Moore’s report, headed ‘‘Miner’s Atten- tion,” five thousand copies of which, the writer stated, had been struck off for distribution in the mines. After much discussion, it was decided to make no reply in the papers, as it would involve a nowspaper controversy, and it was their anxious de- sire toavoid agitating matters that might tend to create ill feeling between the French and Ameri- cans in California. For the same reason no formal resolutions were passed. The chairman, however, made an address to a gentleman representing this office, embodying the views of our French citizens. They state that they are loth to believe that their countrymen in Sonora have been guilty of the conduct imputed to them by Mr. Moore—that they will wait to hear what is said on the other side before giving credence to it; but if itis true, they totally disavow and condemn their conduct, as they do that of all other people who act se wrong- fully and interfere with the rights of others. They further urge that they should not be held responsi- ble tor the evil doing of others, and trust their de- fence to Biel on as Americans in France might safely do under similar ciroumstances. They strongly condemn, however, the attempts to create an excitement in the mines, and stir up ani- mosity between the French and Americans by dis- laa | these circulars through the interior, and trust to the press to counteract any injurious influ- ence they may have. The views they present are entirely just. The entente cordiale which now so happily exists between the two people in this State, should not be disturbed by the course of others inanothercountry. It would indeed be an outrage were Americans to visit upon unoffending and peaceable Frenchmen in the mines, the sins of some of their reckless countrymen in & nora. With as much justice might’ the French government maitreat Americans in Paris, because of the injuries inflicted upon Frenchmen by indivi- duals in this or any other country. Our people love justice too well to countenance any attack for this cause upon the French, and all good citi will at once frown down any attempt to instigate it. The French in this city are among our most respectable and valuable citizens. Ail who know them esteem them, and throughout the mines they bear a high character for honesty, enter- prise and industry. We have no fearthat this cir Jar wall sway the minds of our citizens from the | principles of justice, or diminish the kindly feeling they now entertain towards their fellow citizens who happened to be born in France. Tho remem- brance vf the aid we received from them in our war of Independence, is too green to be effaced by the bad conduct of individuals in another land cially when that conduct is as heartily condemued | by their countrymen here as it can be by our own | people Another Revolution in Baja California, (From the San Diego Herald, May 15.)

Thoy state that when the steamer Santiago loft Callao, the Rimac, a Peravian man of war steamer, was making preparations to leave Callao. She was to be placed under the direction of Gen. Deustua, Governor of Callao, and was to be dispatched under sealed instructions. It was generally believed that her destination was Guyaquil, or at least as near there as Flores and his forees might be found. Gen, Deustua is one of the bravest and most en- ergetic men in all Pern, and he enjoys the confi- Yenge of his government to an unlimited extent. His temporary absence from his post, as Governor s with significant importance to 01 the object’ which has thus suddenly drawn bim | hi away from it, It is highly probable that he has gone to render Ploros the assistance he has been waiting for; and if so, he reached Guayaquil about the same moment a3’the Quickstep, which must have reached there last Thursday, at farthest. It is very certain, from the tenor of the letter written | on board of Flores’ steamer Chile, and published in another column, that all he was then waiting for— toadvance on Guyaquil—was the arrival of the Quickstep. That vossel is now there, and the pro- bubility ts, we shall have somo highly important news via Paita, by the Quito, which is due at this vt | port on the 19th inat ReTrADOR Letters dated on hoard the steamer Rostaurador, join the substance of another proclamation issued | article of export from this country, being worth | storm of hail, which passed over that place on t (Qhilo) informs us that Flores is still in Puna, ing reinforcemonts from Panama.

The stoamer returned, and all was settled.

The principal pearl fisheries of tho Pacific are those located about sixty or seventy miles from this city, in the bay or gulf of Panama. They were formerly the property of the Spanish crown, and were carried on under the direction of the Spanish government, being considered the same as the gold and silver mines. Fishormen were allowed the pri- vilege of diving for peals by paying to the govern- ment a duty called guinto, that is, five per cent of their earnings. Soon after this country threw off her allegiance to Spain, and assumed independent powers as part of the republic, the duty on pearl fishing was abolish- ed; pearls being considered as the natural products of the sea, and like all other fis, free toall. There is, now, no duty required—-every man enjoys the same privilege in commga wiih another, and is en- titled to all the results of his labor. He can dive Lathes? in the waters of the bay, and is protected in his possession of all he can, in this way, uire. The most extensive and valuable fisheries are those of the Pearl Islands. These islands were formerly called Mas del Rey, or King’s Islands, and are so aid down and denominated on the old maps. They are now called Ilas de Porlas. The business is chief; carried on in the Archipelago of these islands, whic number from sixty to seventy. The principal island is called San Miguel. It hasa town of the same name, containing & population of about 1,500 inha- bitants. All of these islands are more or loss inha- bited, and most of them have become private pro- rty. San Miguel being the largest, is owned by a large number of persons. ‘here are, at this time, from twelve to fifteen hundred persons engaged in the pearl-fisheries of these islands. The value of the pearls taken varies from $80,000 to $150,000 per annum, seldom less than $100,000, besides from nine hundred to ono thousand tons of pearl shells, averaging, in value, $40,000. These'shells were formerly esteemed as worthless, but recently they have become the chief from thirty to forty dollars per ton. Diving for pearls is an interesting, and at the same time dangerous pursuit. The diver generally dives in from three to seven fathoms of water; and brings up ateach dive from six to twelve shells They dive at low water always, as the diviug- und at high water has been cleared of the shells. they usually work from two hours and a half to three hours, during which time they dive from twelve to fifteen times. The best divers remain under water from fifty-eight to sixty-one seconds; but the most of them can only remain under from forty-five to fifty seconds. It is altogether a mis- taken idea that has gone abroad, and is now cur- rently believed, that pearl-divers can remain under water ten and fifteen minutes. We have conversed with a distinguished gentleman of this city, who has been engaged in the pearl trade upwards of thirty years, upon this poing and he assures us that the very longest time he ever knew a diver to remain under water was sixty-one seconds, and that he was induced to do so, by the promise of a reward of two or three ounces (doubloons). The pearl oyster is used for food, and resembles the sand-clam of the Atlantic coast. The fishermen and the natives use it both fresh, when just taken, and when preserved by being par-boiled and dried. It is exceedingly latable, and is esteemed as very good, substantial food. Tlie preparation of pre- serving the oyster in this manner is very simple, und the oyster, after being preserved, is strung on a string, and hung up in a cool dry place, It keeps a long time, and can afterwards be cooked in a va- riety of ways, as fancy or custom or appetite may suggest. The pearl is considered to be a disease of oyster. It is generally found in tbe flesh of the oyster, al- though, sometimes, it has been found adhering to the side of the shell. Upon opening the oyster, the diver uses great precaution to prevent the pearl from dropping out, should the oyster contain one. The price of pearls varies according to their puri- ty, shape and weight—say from ten dollars to five thousand per ounce. From five hundred to fifteen hundred dollars are very frequently paid here for single pearls not weighing more than throe-six- teenths of an ounce. An English company, some yeurs since, obtained a privilege to fish with diving ‘bells, but the enter- prise proved a total failure in consequence of the unevenness of the bottom. «Since then, no attemp’ of a lar character has been made, nor has any mac! ly or apparatus ever been used to bring up | the shells.

THREATENED COUP D'RTAT OF ARISTA—TROUDLE BH- + TWEEN THE PRESIDENT AND THE BRITISH MINISTER. {From the New Orleans Bee, June 22.) By the brig Tehuantepec, we have rocoivod files of papers from the city of Mexico to the 5th inst. n extra session of Congress is talked of, but does not seem vory probable. There are rumors of a contemplated coup d'etat by Arista, and the Constitutional speaks very gravely of the probability of auch aa event. It is reported, moreover, that the government had dos- patched to the officers of the customs ut Vera Cruz, Tampico, and Mazatlan, orders to suspend all pay- ments, and to retain the specie paid im, subject to the call of the government. In short, everythiog seems in disordered confusion in the unfortunate ru- public. Tho treasury prosents a vacuum, and Con- greas has a ‘journed, without sottling any of the im- portant questions submitted to it. In Sonora, some weeks ago, a body of govern- ment troops were attacked ny three hundred In- diaus, ard forced to retreat. Three of the sol- diors were killed. and a number wounded. Tho In- dians ary said to have lost thirty or forty of their men. The Legislature of Jalisco has pardoned half a dozen highway robbers. At Saltillo, eighteen cri- minals, who had been condemned to the galleys, had managed to escapo. & The telegraph is operating between Vora Cruz and Mexico, und the lino is frequently interrupted by the breaking ofthe wires. The journals continue to announce frequent as- ions and robberies. alan Opera still attracts the music loving portion of the capital. {From the New Orleans Courier. June 22 } From the city of Mexico we yesterday received pers to the 6th inst., with Vera Cruz journals as Tate as tho 12th. ‘The papers of the capital are filled with rumors of un coup a’état, by which despotic powor would be assumed by President Arista. The Mexican Con- gress had adjourned, after a session of four-and-a- half months, in which time nothing had been dono to improve the situation of the country. Woe have not yet seon the list of acts passed by that Con- grers; but from the summary of their proceedings, and the complaints of the press, we must inter that no treaty has been made with Mr. Sloo, or the United States—that tho tariff has been left as oppressive as ever—that nothing had been done to replenish the national treasury—nothing to repel the incursions of the Indians or arrest the bands of highwaymen in the interior. On the other hand, we are told of a very serious quarrel between the British Ambassador in Mexico and Presidont Arista —a quarrel that has induced the departure of the British Secretary of Legation for London. Inthe Vera Cruz papers we read an account of the proceedings of a mob, which compelled the au- thorities of that city to issue a liconse for the im- portation of 3,000 bbls. of flour, on paying moderate duties. Other articles of food were scarce in Vera Cruz, and the mob may be soon tempted to ask fresh indulgences. {From the New Orleans Picayune, June 22.] By the arrival of the sehooner Bonita and the brig. ‘Tehuantepec, we have dates from the city of Mexico to the 5th inst., and.Vera Cruz to the 12th. The Mexican Congress adjourned sine die, accord- ing to the Tvait d’Union, at half-past eleven o’clock on the night of the 21st ult. Nothing was done to furnish the administration with the resources necessary to carry on the govern- ment. ‘The administration,” says the Trait d’ Union, * has only one resource left, and that is Providential aid.” “The Chamber of Deputies per- sisted in its first resolution in favor of abolishing the rohibitory duties on certain articles of import. Tho Senate persisted in refusing to favor this resolution. Nothing was done in the matter; the tariff remains unaltered. No change was made in the tobacco monopoly. The administration demanded, at the last moment, extraordinary powers to carry on the government during the recess—a committee of supervision to be appointed by the Congress. The demand was refus a very large majority. We find not the slightest notioe in the Mexican perers of the news of the rejection of Col. Sloo’s fehuantepec contract. We learn, from a private source, that on the 16th ult., tho day fixed for signing this contract, Minister Ramirez made somo objection to the interpretation of a particular word. The matter was referred to Congress, which inter- preted it in a manner favorable to Col. Sloo. The subject returned to the Minister. We presume that he persisted in raising difficulties, and that the Pre- sident convoked the Congress, in secret session, to act on the contract, which was then rejected. e do not see how this result could have been kept so juiet as not to get into the papers even in the shape of an on dit. Our authority in stating that the contract was rejected, was of a reliable nature, being a well known resident of this city, who re- d yesterday from the city of Mexico. era Cruz papers publish a decree from the Minister of Finances, permitiing those merchants at that port to re export their goods brought from fo- reign ports into Vera Craz, trom the Ist of Decem- ver to the 26th of May, on which the duties had not been paid.

The Ayantamiento assembled the same night, ana passed the following resolution :— ‘That we will send abroad for such quantities of flour as may be, in the judginent of the Ayuntamiento, necessary for the consumption and supply of this munictpality The next day the Ayuntamiento reassembled and passed several resolutions. Onecalls upon the prin- cipal military commandante and the collector of the customs not to obstract in any way the landing of flour imported by the Ayuntamiento ; another resolves to send immediately to New Orleans for 3,000 barrels of flour, in five portions of 600 barrels exch, to be sent monthly; a third says that the cor- poration will pay a diflerential duty sufficient to muke the flour cost in Vera Cruz $13 for each bar- ) rel of 200 pounds, more or less The remainder of the resolutions merely regulate the prices and weight of the bread, and pr that. if the bakers should not accede to these r lutions, the Ayuntamiento will estab! a bakery of th but the last authori the municipal 1d to New Orleans, by the brig Tehu- pec, for the first instalment of the flour. rom tho tone of the papers, it is evident that this movement in Vera Crua is regarded as a pro vinted seven new chiefs | | that he has ' tendered to him, | resign his present place, will most likely not be the i} | badly beaten at Vera Cruz from this | nunciamento against the govornmont, and tho ro, sult was looked for with great anxiety.

The Whig Nominations—Mr. Webster—Mr. Law= rence— Symptoms of “Bolting”—Literary Matters —Life of General Pierce, by Mr. Hawthorne— Mastory of Boston—The Brewer Case—The New Daily—Temperance Convention—Conviction of Davis, §c. Things are very quiot hero, and are fast sottling down to a calm, equitable state. All talk of bolting against the nomination of General Scott is fast cons- ing to be heard. There will not be so miuch money spent by the whigs as thero would had Mr. Webater, or even Mr. Fillmore, been the nominee; but tho strength of the whig party will be rallied in support of Scott, and he will receive the party vote. That much enthusiasm will enter into the matter, I am fur from predicting; but it will not bo necessary. The vote of Massachusetts has already been “bagged” for the hero of Chapultepec, and will be givenout in due time. Should all three of the great States vote for him, our elestoral vote will be of no great importance to the whigs ; but should Scott fail in either of thom, as ho is very likely to, Massa- chusetts’ vote will aot improbably tell on the result ofthe contest. Would it not be an amusing evont should that vote—which, but for the existence of the plurality law, never would have been even dreamed of—for Scott decide the character of the result of the campaign? The plurality law was the work of the coalition ; and if Scott should be clocted by it, he would be under vast obligations to the coalition- ists. That it is not unreasonable to believe that Massachusetts’ vote may be taportant will bo seen from the importance which it had in 1848, when it contributed twelve of the seventeen electoral votes which General Taylor had over the precise number necessary to elect him. Then Now York and Penn- sylvania voted for the whigs, and Ohio against ane Had they failed in Louisiana, Massachusetts would have had the balance of power in her hands. Ihave been told by not a few persons who were present, at Baltimore, during the entire session of the whig convention, that nothing did Mr. Web- ster’s cause so much injury as the multitude of his supporters (2) who went there from Boston. There was no objection made to their congregating in that city by myriads, if they chose to do so; but, un- fortunately for their cause and for themeelves, they could not shake off what the late Fenimore Cooper would have called their ‘ provincial” habits. They talked and acted just as they do at home, for- getting that Massachusetts, or rather Boston, is not all the world, and the ** rest of mankind” to boot.

One democrat won no less than fifteen bets from as many Webster men.

Any disaffection in | that election would cut both ways, reducing the | whig strength, and operating to the prevention of bolting on the part of hunker democrats from the coalition, as they would not wish to be loft alone, | and without having accomplished anything. You will recollect that the Webster whigs, last year, did their utmost to prevent Mr. Winthro; i | In the literary world, there is nothing of special | | importance going on Mr. Hawthorne 1s engaged on a life of General Pierce, the Democratic eandi- date. They were chums at college, and it is a pleas- ing feature of General Pierce's history, that he shoul have retained the friendship of a man like Mr. Haws thorne, who has so utter an aversion te ything like public life. The book will be well written, and readable, which is more than can be said of most | | lives of Presidential candidates. Prof. Longtellow, the poet, was also at the same college with General Pierce Mr. Parkman ix completing hi y of the | Canadas, which will be a valuable addition to our literature. It will be a more comprehensive work than that on the same subject by the late Eliot Warburton, who always failed ag signully in writing history as he was « books of travels. Mr. Parkman, on the other hand, appears to be endowed with those faculties that lead to suc« cess in historical writing : patience, ness of mind, vast knowledge, and last, th | least, that leisure which springs from the pos | of wealth. Teall leisure—and consequently weal fuoulty, for without it small would be the num! | @f works prodyced requiring research, All qur his | an exactly opposite view of the subject. The: torical writers aro rich—Bai man, and othors. We are to have a new history of Boston, or rather tho rising generation., Mr. Drake, the ant rian and beo'« seller, is to get up a now edition of Snow's History of Boston, and will so re-caat it, that it will be, ia effect, a now work. The original book was not @ lively affair, but as good as most town histories, perhaps better than some of thom. There is muck about the annals of Boston that could be made te toll in historical writing; but, somehow or other almost every writer of such works is given to be awfully dull. Mr. Hawthorne could do the aubject Jvstice, as his allusions to Boston subjects in various of bundantly show. His Scarlot Lotter isu) Boston in the olden time, and shows more knowledge of colonial history, than any pro- fessed historical work on the subject that wo have. The new anti-liquor law daily paper dooa not “progress” as its friends woula desire pears: that there is a hiteh on the subject of what Mr. Weller would call **the fups.” ‘Vhe liquor retailers hold that the distillers should come down with the ‘tin’ in large quantities, while the distillers take truly enough, that the law does not materially m- jure thom; that, on the whole, it favors thom, as it not only allows them to manufaeture and ox liquor, but specifically protects thom in so doing- Under these circumstances, they do not think they can justly be called upon to pay in moro than one- half tho capital of the new paper. Tho rotailera say that they, in most instances, have city licenses to sell, und therefore have no particular necessity te pay out money. On the whole, I should not be sur- prised if the whole project ‘‘ slumped through”— to use an elegant expreasion. Not ono of the olf ortablahed jegenals, of any party, will haye. — thing to do with the matter of specific opposition the liquor bill, sg that ifthe new papor should not be started, the men whose interests mast be affected by the law’s existence, will not have an opportu of boing heard. Whether this will be advanti for them or not, T cann ndertuke to decide. Cor- tain it is, that the “ agitation’ of the question of the repeal of the law would be very likely to stir wu the temperance folks to a white heat, and wor throw into the political cauldron, now almost boit- ing over, something that would’ make its interests © thick and slab” as the ‘hell broth’ browed by the weired sisters, whose double-meaning propho- cies had so evil an effect on the fortunes of the poetical usurper of the crown and sceptre of the gracious Duncan. i m In about four weeks the liquor law will go into operation; but if any one out of tho Stato is under the impression that thore will be less liquor sold here than at any former period, he had better got the notion out of his head forthwith. In tho first placo, so far as Boston is concerned, all ‘ respeot able” liquor solling establishmonts have boen ti- censed by the city authorities, and they mean to sell under their licenses until the courts declare them to be of no value, which it will take some months, at. the least, for those slow-moving concerns to do, the law’s delay not being likely to experience a ch: at the instance of the temperance men. Secondly, the liquor sellers will evade tho law in a hundred ways, as theircontemporaries of Maine have dono. Tho tem- perance folk, to be sure, have had a convention to provide ways and means for the thorough onforee- mont of the law; but it did not accomplish mudh. ‘The dominant idea was, that it would not do to ge too fast, which was just what tho opponents of law said in the Legislature last winter. Tho opi- nien that any action under the law would be attend- ed with effect on politics, seemed to be fully deve- loped in the minds of most persons at tho conven- tion. ‘The sentence of Brewer, the defaulting bank offi- cer, to three years’ imprisonment in the State prison, is almost universally approved of. If fault is found, it is with the mildness ef tho punishment. The relatives and friends of Browor did all they ec. perly could to have him sent to tho common jail, as they wished to avoid the infamy that is held to at- tach to confinement in the State prison at hard la- bor; but Justice Wells could not be prevailed u to gratify them. The statement that the Suffolk Bank has lost halfa million through Brewer and Rand’s operations, though it has receivod a sort o€ semi-official denial through the Advertiser, is, no doubt, true; at any rate, it is universally belioved to be true. The Supreme Court has been all this woek en- ‘aged on the trial of Davis, charged with the mur- tee of his sister, Mrs. Van Wagner, under circum- stances of a most atrocious charactor. Mr. Farrer, senior counsel for the prisoner, made a very power- ful and ingenious defence of his client; but the evi- dence was so strong against him, that nothing cowld prevent the jury from returning a verdict of guilty.

The Indictment for Alleged Kidnapping at Syracuse. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Syracuse, June 26, 1852. In your paper of to-day is an editorial artiole which, for want of a full statement of facts, croate a wrong impression. I will give you tho facte— you will make your own conclusion. Henry W Allen, Deputy United States Marshal, was indicted, under the laws of New York, 1840, for kidnapping Jerry. He was acquitted by the jury on Wednesday last. You say it shows reaction against tho aati- slavery cause in Syracuse. I say it does not. You know Lam an abolitionist; but you know equally well that I never sent you a misstatement. So I will give you the facts. The law of New York, of 1840, provides that he who attempts to take from thia State a negro or mulatto against his consent, ‘‘with- out authority of law’—mark the words—shall, oa conviction, be fined $500, and imprisoned in the © prison ten years was under this act that Allen was indicted a few days after Jerry’s arrest by him. What the testimony before the Grand Jury was, I do net know ; and whether there was testimony that Allea | took measures against Jerry’s liberty, outside of the | warrant, is more than I know. The indictment was found, and was met by Allen with a special plea, instead of a general plea of ‘not guilty.” He was never arrested—never gave bail. It was asserted on all hands, that the question was to be tested— no feelings of unkindness were entertained towards the marshal, personally. The special plea admitted that Allen arrested Jerry, but claimed it was done by ‘authority of law,” and set forth the affidavit ot the U.S. Commissioner, the warraut, the return on the warrant, and closed by denying that he had | authority to act— | ever way the deci done any “ other acts” in the premises. ‘This wae mot by the presecution, with a denial of ali the al- Jegations of the special plea, as to Allen’s alleged nied that Salien was U.S. Come missioner, that he issued a warrant, &e. On the day the trial commenced, counsel stipu- lated to admit the a be true. When the case wag opened, the counsel for defenee utained that inasmuch as they, in their special , had admitted the doing of certain acts touch- ing the man Jerry, named in the indietment—all of Which the prosecution in reply specifically denied— that inasmuch as they had in terms Jeclared they lad done ‘no other acts,” and the prosecution in reply had _been silent as to that allegation—therefore, the case was limited to showing on the part of the defence that the acts admitted to have been done were done by due * authority of law.” The prosecution called witnesses, and offered te ovove that Allen was guilty of acts fer the detom- side of the warrant, before and e court took the view givem uded all testimony save rd of the warrant, &c., which the proseca- the re ton had stipulated to admit. Ta other words, it sion, this:—Was a warrant, issued ive Slave law of 1850, “authority of left the only q under the E law 1° Gerrit Sinith and Charles B.
