A iene jary of tho 6 having been empavnelied, the commission declared that there was sufficient causo for am in- diotment.

Six months ago Mr. Yanez might have succeeded in arresting progress of the revolution; now it is perhaps too lato, and it is very difficult even to delay it in its T88. With reference to the revolution bogun at Jalisco, Isend you an account of what took place in the ital of that State, between the most influential prj table persons. You must remembor t! in article twelve, it isdeclarcd that tho forces of Ja- lisce shall be commanded by General Don José Lo- pes Uraga so we!! known in this city. This distin- d officer, on the 21st ultimo, was staying at Miguel de Attende, where he was informed that the government had issued an order to have him ar- | rested, and brought to this city, and that a body of cavalry was aay on the way towards Allende, for the purpose of fulfilling their orders. (General Uraga did not think proper to await this troop. Ho therefore determined to pronounce himielf, and this he did on the 25th of October. With only umdred men and four pieces of artillery, he marched towards Michoacan, where Bahamonde joined him, both adhering to the political plan of Jalisco. The acquieition ot Generai Uraga is of the utmost im- portance to the pronunciamente, for he is universally acknowledged to be the most talented, and most General ofthe country. The other Gonerals are all either too old or without talent. In the la- eenic proclamation directed by General Uraga to the people of Jaliseo, and to the brigade formerly bearing his pame, the following paragraph has a'- becrts | much attention, its sentiments being by no means common in our pronanciamentos :— “J accept the plan of Jalisco, and I promise to sustain it, but I beg that you will make one protest with mo, neither I nor any other General, chief, or officer belonging to our ranks, shall accept aay Office or fixed employment from the revolution, or the government that may result therefrom; nor shall =e our services, or demand rewards for our Aa attempt at revelution has broken out at Pu- dela.

The commission ap- pomted by the Ramires mivistry could come to no conclusion on the matter, and it ecems that the go vermment has reserved to iteelf the right of deciding te whom the contract shall be given.

Itconssqnently has | all the egriou'tural onpacities, and more, taat are to be found in tho climates of Iniia. Those great re- tources of the La Piata for the most part lie dor- mant. ‘They are hidden in the bosom of the oarth, or conceslea in the recesses of the mountains. he wators of the La Plata flow through climates that are favorable to the growth of sugar, of tea and coffee, of rice, hemp, and tobaceo, of cotton and corn, of drugs, woods, dyes, and spices, and of al- most all the vgricultural staples of the earth The Kio de La Plata lies wholly withia the south- ern hemisphere, and it is the greatest river thatdoes fo lie; consequently it has opposite seasons with those of the northern. When the husbandman is sowing in the north, thon he who tills the earth in this beautiful river basin will be gathering his crop; and consequently the planter, and tho farmer, and the merchant of the Lx Plata will havo control of the northern markets for six months of evory year, without & competitor. The Rio do La Plata, properly speaking, is that arm of the sea hetween the parallels of 33° and 36° of south lativude. Its breadth isa hundrod miles or more, according to the place of moasare- ment, and it is formed by the junctiou of the Parana and the Uruguay. I treat of all the eountry drained by these rivers and their tributaries as the valey of the La Plata. ‘The Urognay is a beautiful stronm. | rise in the Brazilian provinee of Santa ©. the western slopes of the “ Serra'do Ma sea range of mountains. Its course is first west- wardly and then southwardly; it is about soven | huncred miles long; drains a rich, fertile, and tole- | rably well settled country. For part of the way it isthe boundary between Brazil, with the Banda Oriental on one side, and the Argentine Confedera- tion on the cther. The Parana isa mojestio river. It is formed by the junction of the two Brazilian streams, the Rie Grande and the Paranahiba. The former takos its rise near the parallel of 20 deg south, not far feom the scaskore, and in the wealthy province of Minas | Geraes. The valley in which the head waters of this river are gathered into the main stream is most magnificent. It is about two hundyod miles broad in the widest part, by four hundred miles | long. The couree of the Rio Grande through it is due west, and for about five hundred miles, until it | meets the Paranahiba coming from the northward, where its sources interlap, and almost intermingle with those of the Amazon. | . The population of the two interior provinoes of Minas Gerace and Giosz, in which these two tribu- ' taries of the Parana take their rise, and in whish they lie, is for the former ene million, for the latter one hundred and fifty thousand The Japavese-like policy whioh has been observed with regard to scientific explorations of the Ls Plata and its tributaries, has kept the world in the dark as to many parts of that vatley. | Dr. Francia eatabliehed in Paraguay, many years age, a government founded upon the Japanese sys- tem. Rosas attempted an imitation of this policy so | | ed by it wich the extent drained by rivera in the | | Tt takos its , long as he was in power; and Brazil has always | 8o that geographers really know very | ractised it. ittle as to the Brazilisa tributaries of the La Plata, their navigability, avd the commereial resources of | the countries which they drain. According to the map ‘Do Imporio do Brazil,” | ' published in 1846, under the auspices of the (eo- frapbioal Society, Rio de Janeirp, and which is now efore me, the Parana, for the first ive hundred tiles below the junction of the Rio Grande and Pa- ranahibs, runs through uninhabited parts ef the pro- vinces of Gayaz, Motto Grasso, and Sao Paulo. Passing these uninhabited parts, it then runs through ana among the Spanish republics of that region tor + about twelve hundred miles to its entrance into the Plata. Aloug this part of its route the couatry is pretty weil settled, and, according to Montgomery | Martin, whose authority is more recent than that of the map of the Geographical Society of Brazil, must be in a high state of cultivation. Writing last year upon this river, he saye :— During the six or eight months that the Parans, or Plate river, was recently opened to Kuropean commerce, upwards offfixteen miliions dollars worth of goods were exchanged for produ id this without any previously organized mercat establishments or system, Two convoys of metch«nt ships, one of 110, and 1 er of 76 veseels, came down the river with full cargors. It is true that t to the accumulation of property owing tothe previousin- | terdiction of commerce vy tienéral iow, wooss exslu- cive policy is an imitation of that of Dr. Francia, as he has himsclf boasted, He ie therefore entirely hortile to mor- cautile. or indeed to any Intercourse, especially with Ku- ropeans. Were Rosas to succeed, he would form a State such as Japan bas been for the last two centuries The commerce of this river I know is valuablo; but whether it be o very valuable at this time | the above extract from Martin would make it, I doubt. But, suppose it were one million instead of six- teen that was brought down through this unex- pected free navigation for rix or eight months, | what would it not be under regular steam and free | navigation at the end of six or ight years, when | the steamboat and commerce shall have stimuloted the productions of the oountry up to tho oapscity of its industrial capital 7 ei ; Leaving the Parana, and travelling still further. weet, we come next to the Paraguay, the most mag- nificent tributary in this water shod. Toilowing it in ite windings, it is ni able to the distance ef about two thousand miles from the sea. It is the Missouri of the Le Plata valley. A friend, who has been residing in the capital of the Republio of Paraguay for several yoars, returned thence a few months ago Ishall, therefore, draw upon him for information touching this iaterosting river and region of country ; also, Francis del Cas- telnau, who travelled through that counay in | 1848-9, is quite full. | According to Hopkins, Paraguay is but snother paradise f this country an acurces, says he :— I can rpeak with the greatest certainty, from my own perscna! knowledge Ajmoet divided by the tropic of Ca- pricorn, its eurface is like a chess board, checkered here and there with beautiful pastures and magnificent forests, Unlike all other lands with which I am acqutinted, it reems destined especially for the habitation of man flere, im the eastern portion of our own land. the first settlers found the whole country covered with woods; west of the Mississippi the other extreme exists, in the vast extent of prairie, deetitute of timber. On the north of Bravil ina similar manner, are aubroken forests; in its southern . and throughout the Banda Oriental, Entre-Rios, Corrientes. and the Argentine Repabiic, we find contina- ‘ous pampas, like our prairies in neny instenoes without bearing the necerrary fuel even for househoid purposes. Not to in Paraguay, where, added to a sufficiency for building ficets of » theusand steamers, ita forests {Raed with every descriotion of ornamental aad useful woods, Beginning with the headwaters of the river Paraguey, we find the productions upon the Brazijian side to be gold and preclous stones sugar, molasres. hides of extraordi- nary size, hair. tallow, wax, deer, and tiger skins with | rice, corn. and the different manufactures of the mandio- ca rcot; in Bolivia gold and precious stoves silver, coffee considered by good judges to be equal to Mocha—and Peruvian bark. Though umdoubtediy we could di from there two eountries many other produotions of tropi eal America yet it is {n Paraguay that we find the great. | eat wealth of all there valleys. } Of medicinal herbs, they yield in great profusion “rhubarb, nice py a, p, bew ica, enfras, holywood, drag blood, ba, nax vomica, liquorice, and gin; ie toe, are fount dye stuffs of yin mort ex. quisite tints. Among these he includes cochineal, two kinds of indigo, a ‘' vegotable vermilion, | saffron, golden rod, with other plants, producing | all the tints of dark rod, black, and green.” In the forests are found sixty varieties of wood, valuable for sbip building, or as timber, or for oabi- net work. Among them are the ‘‘Scibo ¢ which, ‘‘ whon | ee is spongy snd soft as eorl and can be ou: like an apple, bat when dry it is so hard as almost to defy the action of steel; the Palo de Vivora, or make-treo, whose leaves are an infal- lible cure for the poisomeus bites of sorpouta; the Palo de léche, or milk tree, may be called a vegotable ow; and the Palo de borracho, or drunkon tree, a vegetable distillery.

I propose to speak of t at another time Ivis a question whether the waters of the La Plats and the Amezon do not unite through a na- tural canal, as those of the Amazon and the Oro nooo do through the Casiquiari, and thus afford an inland navigation from Buenos Ayres in 35 dogrees | south, to the mouth of the Oronoco, where it emp- ties in 11 degrees north into the Caribboan soa Truly such a navigation would be bringing tho commercial drainage of the Atlautio slopes of South America rot only at our feet, but it would be emp- tying its treasures into the vory lay into which our own Mississippi poursits waters, its surplus produce, acd its wealth. At sny rate, whether there be a natural oanal there now or not, we may look forward to the time when settlement, steam, and civilization shall have taken root upon the great Amazon water shed, to fee canals and channels which, if nature hi completed, art will, by which the La PI will bo turned uptide down, and its mouth placed, for all equa- r where the Amazon discharges iteelf into the a. ‘ Castelnau, ® French savant, who was sent by Louis Philippe, in 1813, to explore the interior of the country, and who went from Rio along this Divide over to Bolivia, thenee to Lima, and then across the Andes and down the Amazon to its mouth, gives much new and valuable information concerning this | whole country. He was go as the first part of his travel ed. The prinsipal object of his expedition, he says, “ was to study in all its bearings the vast basin of the Amazon, which is destined to play a grand art in tho future history of America nhs he adds, four or five years, has just been pub- | “the utter neglect of thisriver-basin by the nations of Europe will one day greatly astonish the political and commercial world. An excursion in the northern parts of the Province | of Matto Grosso,” says Castlenau, “afforded us an op- portunity of determining the posilion of the sources of the Paraguay, ae well as-of the Tapajos ; and we could contemplate at the same time the arms of the two great- est rivers in the world. the La Plata and the Amazon, as they lesped from the bowels of the earth at our feet and interlocked one with the other. Again, asjif to render more attractive to men this curious and interesting port, vature has placed her mines of diamonds in a region of country where their value is emall in comparison with the gteat advantages which commerce is one day to roap from this marvellous junction of waters. It wasin this region that the intrepid old Ser- | | geant Jezo de Souza found a natural tunnel through | which the Sumidouro—<go called because it runs for about the quarter of a league under a mountain— carries its waters to pay tribute to the Amazon. Setting out ftom Cayaba, in 1716, he descended the river of that rame to the Paraguay, which ho ascended te the mouth of the Seputuba. Following this to its sources, he then cut with a hatchot a way throvgh the forest for three leagues, over which he transported his vessels, and embarked them upon Following this river until it disap- peared under a mountain, he then disombarked, and sent his vesrels through. Then going across the mountain to the place where the river comes out again, he had the good luck to find his vessels had passed through without damage. | Re-embarking, he then descended the Arinas and Amazon to Para, where he was put in prison on ac- count of his discoveries, for it was the policy of php ot and has since been that of Brazil, to be asexclusive as Japan, with regard to these groat tiver-basins, and the treasures they contaia.

A do claration to this effect L had beard several times emana- ting from persons of intelligence and imduence, f did not intend to vindicate the character of Mr Webster—it | needed no defenee I did it to disabuse the minds of | those who bad beard it from the imiluense of a direct ascertion which I knew to be without any foundation. I | meant by a simple reletion of circumstances wader my _ own obcrvation to show that the charge was entirely | untrue | I stated that after the injury Mr. Webster recelvod | from » fall from his cerriage in Duxbury, in May, he came to this city, and was under my professional oare for some | duyr previous to the delivery of his speech; that I had | visited him two or three times deily, and had reduced his | ciet below his usual mode of living, im somtequeace of | inflammation im his arm. ‘That on the day of bis dress, I visited him twice iu the morning ang dressed bis arm ‘ieularly for the occa | sion, After dressing him I “T have kept you very low. sir, for some time, and as y: ve an ar- | | duous duty to perform to 1 think I shalt advise | you to take a glass of wino at diuner, and to eat tle | aat.?? ie was walking across the room at th's time, when he | stopped, and turning towards mo, replied ima familiar | but dr cided manper— “don't know Doctor, T think I shall not. I have | found the benefit of temperenos, I shall take a cup offoup, relire to my chamber and lie down for two hours, then I shall dress and be ready for his Honor the Mayor when he caj!s to attend me to Vawoutl Hall.” At his request { went wilh bim to the Hall, and em fully convinced that he bad not on that day, or tor rome | preceding, taken even the smallest amount of stimu- lwivg drinks. 1 admitted that Mr. Webster was in tho Occesional use of wine, and sometimes of other alooholic drinks, and gave asa probable reason that it was much more the custom in Wa hington than in this city ; bat L confidently exprested the oginion that no msm could be produced, who could show that he knew—althouch many wight erroneously presume, as in the instauce above re- ferred to—thet bis great intellect was ever clouded by stinvulants : or that he was unfiited at any time, even for the production of state papers I avsil mycelf of this opportunity to add a few words more in confirmation of what I nave stated above. At the time of his reception by the city Mr. Webster appeared to possess his full totellectual strength In re- pty to an apprehension expressed Ly me that morning he feel as able now to make @ speech of two hours duration, as ever T did in my life.” But he was laboring under great physical debility, re- quiring the coustant assistance of an attendant about bis person. 'This was dispenred with. by a great effort om his part. as was also a sling for his arm. becnuse ho did not wish to appear before his fellow citizens as a sick man. T have always found Mr. Webster perfectly obedient as & patient, expecially in following atcictly the diet and regimen prescribed for him. The nature of tho complaints for which I have attend- ed him has required that these restrictions should be sometimes revere, and, om one important occasion, were | directly opposed to his own view of his case; but he nevertheless yielded implicitly to my instructions Tn his last sickness he required the mort exact ad- measurement of such stimulants as were thought advi- sablo, and would take none without my express direction, Tam also assured that he always practised the greatost | self denial whenever especially called upom for the exertion | of his intellectual powers, The mighty productions of his pen exhibit the clearness of his intellectas much as the profoundness of his thought. The most rigid casuist | may be defied to point to one line in his voluminous works which indicated the weakness of the inebriate. | Tfear that I have trespastod too much upon your in- dulgence, Mr. Editor, and will only express, im conclusion, my regret that I do not feel at liberty to give you, for publication. some observations upon the religious charac- ter of Mr. Webster ; a subjest which I entered upon in my late remarks. but had not time to continue. | _ Some unintentional inaccuracies have entered into the memorited report of the gentleman at New Bedford, which do not, however, affect the general truth of his statements. | As Mr, Webster bas appointed literary executors, of the | | highest standing and acquirements, it is most proper for those who have any information, on any point of interest, to piace it at the disposal of thoze gentlemen. | e hymn which I repeated to Mr. Webster on the | night of the 16th, just one week before his death, was re- | cited a originally written by Cowper. mot im the muti. luted form in which it often appears in modern versions The Liqucr Law in New Hampshire—Opin- | | Jon of the Saperior Court Judges. The following is the opinion ef Judges Bell, East- men, Gilchrist and Woods, of the Superior Court, respecting the constitutionality of the Liquor bill: Ist. The bill confers on justiees an extent of | thority the constitution does not sanction, particu- larly in respect to the power it gives them to pro- nounce a sentence of forfeiture om liquors seized for “The bl provides for no trlal by j ft 5 e vides for no y jury, or for appeal and tral by jury before a higher cock The constitution provides that in all controversies con- | | fons property, the parties have a right to a trial yy jury. | 3d. The seventh section of the act conflicts di- rectly with the constitution of the United States. | Thie section provides that no action can be maintain ed in any court in the State, either in whole or in part, for intoxicating or spirituous liquors sold in apy other State or county. No law of this State can deprive a citizen of the United States of the right to enforce a claim of debt befors the tribunals of this State. | 4th. Legirars are property. The law, in reco; nizing them as such in the fourth section, when in the hands of town authorities for sale and me- | chanical usc, cannot, by the force of a fow phrazes, make property lose its character when in other custody. 5th. Double or imcrensed penalties in cases of conviction under appeal, because it operates as penalty upon the party claiming appeal, confli with his rights to am appeal, and cannet be sup- ported bythe constitution. 6th. The bill is designed by ite provisions to de- mand exceesive bail, and ronder it difficult for the deceased to procure securities. If it had been added | that the accuesd should not have the benofit of couneel to defend him, the paralle] between the | present law and the practice in England, in former would have beon complete. 7th. The conviotion of a principal throughiany | act of an agent, is held to be unoonstitutional. | | The accused should be confronted with the witnesses ainst him, bok the constitution, but the liquor bill sa; and it is therefore opposed to the con- | etatutional rights of the citizens. 8th. The people have a be dichad eecoured against all unreasonable cearch of their dwellings, &o , and all guch sesrch warrants must be undor oath, ac- cording to the constitution; but searches and ar rests may bo made according to the bill, without | | warrants on oath, and it is thus unconstitational. | Inconclusion, the judges state that some of the objections are of the most serious charact oy THR Srars —' jotermined not to designate any day for | cloring the canals of the State—being desirous that ma- vigation should be continued as long as the weather will permit. Although this determination is not in accord. | ance with the general usage, it will, mo doubt be moro | im conformity to the wishes agd interest of most com- mereial men, and of all doing business upon the onnal, or interested in canal navigation.
