OUR RELATIONS WITH ci! em LANE AND COMMMISSIONER BARTLETT=-THE SANDWICH ISL- ANDS—APVOINTMENTS— DEPARTMENT CLERKS—RU- MOR THAT JOHN VAN BUREN IS GOING TO FRANCE, HTC. SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE NEW YORK HERALD, Wasmoton, May 19—8 P. M. It is siated in certain quarters that recent advices have deen received from New Mexico putting an enticely dif- ferent aspect upon Governor Lane’s movemoats, aud that the'subject has been reviewed ia cabinet, and was under discussion within a week past. The truth, however, is, that up to the present time the government have received 20 official advice whatever as to Lane’s conduct. A New ‘Mexico judge brivgs a rumor that Lane’s movement!was ‘eaused by the proceedings of the Mexican authorities, ‘who had formally seized the Valley of Mesilla, Opposed to this is the fact, uncontradicted as yet in any quarter, “that the United States officers refused to assist Governor Lane; and it is quite improbable they would have done 80 bad violence been used on the part of the Mexicans. There can be no question that our government does not agree in the initial point claimed by ex Commis- sioner Bartlett, nor d ces it regard for a moment his pro- ‘Ceedings io fixing that point as binding upon the United States. The treaty distinctly says that the line shall be run by a commissioner aud surveyor appointed by each Bovernment. They were joint officers, and must so act— Precisely ia the same manner ia which the boundary was Fun between this country and the republic of Texa: ‘Mr. Gray refused to acquiesce in Mr. Bartlett’s course, and he was removed, aad a more pliable person appointed Dy Mr. Bartlott, under Secretory Stuart’s authority, The treaty, however, declares that the surveyor shall be ap- ‘pointed by the government. During the recess of Con- grece the President is held to be the government; but the President did not appoint the new surveyor, and con- Wequently that individusl cannot be resogaized as ne of the officers to run the boundary, under the treaty. All Mr. Bartlett's acts, therefore, after Mr. Bray left him, instead of being firal, as the quan- em commissioner claims, are absolutely worthless. The matter will have to be begun de nova from that date. ‘We have no hesitation in asserting that the govercment ited States has no idea of adopting hostile steps towards Mexico. She will be treated with kindness; and if she will not accept our friendship it will be her own fault. There are no questions between her and this coan- try which cannot be amizably adjusted. Tne Tehuante- pec que-tion, giving us a free right of way upon the terms granted to Garay, without the provision for oolo- nizing, the adjustment of the claim for Indian depreda- tions, growing ot. of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, and the boundary question—one treaty should embrace all these points. It is of the lust importance that the boundary should be run in such a way as to enforce a oad to bo made to the Pacitic. Mr. Bartlett's initial point would place this out of the question, and can- not be acquiesced in under any circumstances. It is therefore probable the administration will en- deavor to negotiate with Mexico in such a liberal manner as to settle her difficulties and at the same time secure to us advantages not in the slightest degree in consistent with the prosperity of our neighbor. We were ‘abe first to communicate to the public the selection of General Gadsden as Minister to Mexico, and his name is a guarantee of the great importance which the administra- tion attaches to his mission. Mr. Lane, of course, ceased to be Governor of New Mexico when Mr. Borland was ap- pointed and confirmed by the Senate, Mr. Meriwether is therefore appointed in place of Mr. Borland, declined, and not of Mr. Laue. It is understood that the subject of the Sandwich Islands will shortly be taken up in cabinet. It is known that the President is fully alive to the great importance of the question, and the absolute nece sity of preventing those islands from falling into the hands of any foreiga power. ‘The following appointments have been made:— J. W. Welborn, Postmaster, Clinton, Mississippi. R Voolittie, Postmaster, Madison, Tod. Paul C Jeffries, Pension Agent, Towa Charles L. Weller, Pension Agent, San Francisco, Cali fornia. The Secre‘ary of the Interior has caused quite a flutter- ing by refusing to appoint an applicant for a cleckship, powerfully backed up, beeruse he had sold out his office just before the commencement of Gen, Taylor's adminis- tration. 1t is suppored this decision will operate with equel force against those soi disant democrats who, just efore the fourth of last March, purchased offices from whigs. It has been decided that all the clerks in the depart. ments will require to be recommissioned on the first of July, as they are legislated out of office under the provi- sion of Senator Hunter's bill reorganizing the depart- ments. Sad news for mavy. ‘A New York paper complains that the advertisements Yor proposals for stationery, &c., for the departments aro only published in the Washington papers, where con- tractors aro not likely to nee them. The fault, however, is not with the departments! but in the law, which spe cially declares that such proposals shall only be adver- ised for in papers printed where the articles are to be moed. The Union of this morning contains an extraordinary Mticle, and which it is to be hoped doos not reflect ‘the views of the administration, It is a leading editorial, Ppesking of Russia in the most laudatory manner, and Giving it the palm over every other nation of Europe in ‘the elements of national strength and happiness, and in the energy and honesty of its rulers, M. Bodisco himself Could not bave written a greater puff for his country. A rumor is afloat that John Vaa Buren is to goas Minister of France, and Henry A, Wise’s son as Secretary Of Legation. Canaot say what trath there is in it. x. Y. 2, The Gardner Trial. Wastincton, May 19, 1853, District Attorney Fondall resumed his argument to- Gay, and proceeded with the third proposition—that here were no mines in Laguinillas. He referred to J. C, Gardner's letters to Verastequi, in one of which hein quired for the position of his brother’s mines, being igno rant of their location, although he had visited them three times. He reminded the jury that no evidence had Deen given of any steam engine, or any remains of mining machinery, having been seenjthere—that of the 500 work- ‘men and men of science, enough to constitute a town or 1p large village, not one had beep heard from—not one leas brought into court—none of the witnesses had seen Or heard of them, The plea that the Mexican govern- tment, conspiring with the United States government, provented Gardner from getting witnesses, was ground- lesa, all of which, taken in connection with the signal failure of the United States Commission to find the mines, iter using every means in their power, amounted to a lepine gre ined Ma ea nine belo onl J procveaed ¢ fourth proj jon, =o ‘a mine in Laguinillas, and quoted the ntimony of yasious Wtnonen aboring tat al Wie Pa: pers filed in of hia claim, the title deeds, certifi. cates, and depositions, were forgeries—twenty-one acts of forgeries in He egain exhibited the papers to the jury, avd tracing paper Being applied, the signatures, in cluaing a complicated flonrish, were found to correspond exactly, which he argued would be impossihle te genuine signatu: Upon each every one of these four grounds, then, the defendent was proved guilty of the crime charged against him. — One of thom would have sufliced, but, having proved all, not a shadow of doubt remained. He procesded, "fa conclusion, to review the testimony of the defence to disprove the evidence of the prosecution. He vindicated the character of the witnesses for the United States for veracity, and said if their statement with regard to the boundary of the Leguinillas and other points were true those of the defendant's witnesses could not be, Abbot and Slocum, be contended, went out us partizans of the accused, and were biassed—thei: letters, written for publication immediately after they arrived in La- gninillas, showed this, He culled attention to the remark- able circumstance, that while the burden of Slocum’s letter was about an attack on the Gardnor party, and attempted murder of Gardner, Abbot anid nothing about it though professing t> describe their route to Laguin- illas. It was for the jury to determioe whether the witnesses fer the United States or for the defendant were to be believed. He also called attention to the conduct of the deferdant—that he claimed to be innccent from the first, and defied the go: ernment— professed to be ready for trial upon all occa. slont—yet, when witnesses had arrived, complained that the United States had changed their ground to a charge of false swearing, and wanted time to get witnesses to meet them on that ground. That he refused to point out his mines to the government commission, instead of seizing, a8 an innocent map would havy done, that golden mement to establish his innecence before the world. That when this trial was finally commenced he spent two daye in cadeavoring to keep the memorial, upon which ‘he charge was based, from going to thé jury. All these circumstances, he argued, were incon: sistent with conscious innocence. The hour of adjournment again arrived before Mr. Fen- dal! had concluded. He will probably finish in the moin- ing, and will be followed by Messrs. Carlisle and Brady for the defence, and Mr. May, who will close for the pro- secution, Late and Interesting from New Mexico. THE INDIANS—fHE BOUNDARY QUESTION—GOY. LANE FOR CONGRESS, ETC. Lovsvitnx, May 19, 1853. ‘The Santa Fe mail arrived at Independence, Mo., on the Lith inst , making the trip in 17 days. The Cheyenne tribe were encamped near Fort Atkinson, awaiting presents from Myjor Fitzpatrick. ‘They were perfectly friendly. Business was dull in New Mexico, and everything ata low ebb A disposition to leave prevailed among the Americans. Considerable excitement existed on the subject of the Pacific Railroad, and in favor of the route from St. Louis, Albuquerque, &c., thence to Walker’s pass. An associa- tion had been formed at Santa Fe, with a capital of $1,000,000, to invest in the Atlantic and Pacific road, pro- vided the main trunk passes through New Mexico. Governor Lane is spcken of as a candidate f. r Congress, and one county bas already nominated him. Goy. Lane returned to Santa Fe, on the 26th April. The excitement ‘as to the Mesilla valley proclamation had somewhat sub sided. The correspondence between Governor Lane and the Mexican authorities had been kept back from the people of Santa Fe, but Goy. Lane is said to have the advantage in the controversy. The drivers had sustained heavy losses on the plains in consequence of stampedes. The mail party met Superintendent Beall and party Willow Spring—all well and getting on finely. The Connecticut Legislature. ACTION RELATIVE TO THE NORWALK CALAMITY, Harrrorp, May 19, 1853. In the Senate, to day, a resolution was adopted autbor- izing the committee on the Norwalk disaster to sum- mon before them the President and Superintendent of the railroad, and directing them to examine the condi- tion of the bridge at Norwalk, and to give the Superin- tendent of the road reasonable notice when the iavesti- gation was to take place. Mr. Butler, of Norwalk, made a powerful speech upon the subject. He had examined the bridge with care, and described the timber as worm eaten and rotten. He éwelt at length upon the inefliciency of the directors of the road, and thought the road greatly needed legislative supervision, Jt will probably be some time before th committee make their report.

Revo.vTionsRy Re1ics.—We were shownon Wednesday a picture frome, which was peculiarly iateresting on ac: count of the many historical reminiscences which it celled forth.

PEDRO P. CRU We translate the folowing editorial on Mexican affairs from the Diario de la Marina of Havana, of the 13th Msy:— The fervid sympathies which the recently established goverument of Mesico enlists among us are a seutiwent whieh we would ill a tempt io conceal, even were it necos- sary loco so. From the time that the movement was inthoted in Jalisco, at whose cousummutiva we are to- Ovy assisiing notwithstanding the uncertainty at times Cippls) ed 10 its progress. and notwithstanding the peca liar dhlaterinets of its developement, we never wavered ia prociuiming our desires, nor in avnouneing its sealiza ion As wlogical necessity towards which events see wed bound by wcertain irresistibie power. They who accepted the morel responsibility of counsel in the uolucky moment of indecision would make #& show of useless dissimulation and puerile hypocrisy by dissembling their satisfaction at triumph in the end And therefore we are not to be blamed as infringing the neutrality which we have always professed, aud which we sbould profess, respecting the iaternal affairs of forviga vations, so long as our own aflairs do not seem affected therevy. To preiend that the salvation of Mex co will not ha ve the effect of exercising a great and advantageous influence over the balance of power on the American cow Uncut would be doubtless some exaggerated pretension, and it is no Jess evident bow much thet equilibrium coo cerps and protity us, not through ambitious views, (in the highest degree absurd,) but through a spirit of just and intelligent conservatism. — But berides, the question of race formed from this mo ment ab explicit exception in regard to the cold indiifer- ence which in that respect could not tiuda place ia our minds. Apart from every petty consideration, if au ele vated pride and the desire of perpetuating the monu- ments of its xlory are to be +0 reputed—apart, we say trom every petty consideration, Spain desires ‘0 seé all the branches ‘ol her ancient stock prosperous and strong Spain oppesed and attempted to preveat their untimety separation, as any people in like circumstances would have done; and if the struggle was most bitter, if not- withstanding the influeaces of a thousand adverse com- Dbinatiouns, and that even of foreign perfidy, we sustained tor the space of fourteen years a sangutnary contest. it proceeded from our nutional character, which for deter- tmination and impetuosity knows not how to do things by halves. Even at the present moment Spsin may believe, or rather may judge, that these societies, without sufll: cient elements of moral and political lite operated against their own good in dissolving the old bonds, to falt under the ipfiuence of covetous people wh have already, with armed band and with violeuce, robned them of their ter- ritory, and who are now satisfied with dispoiling them by oiplomatic artifices, absorbing their substance. But ia these remixiscences and in these abstract opinions, there is no ill will concealed, nor views of impossible re-action dis;embled. The Spanish,american nations do not reckon to-day an ally rere si , more tirm and disinterested, than their ancient pales Sonate ; none whow it sv much ries to une ng row themsélrea sometimes into the arms of theories teading to dissociation, Ratierepeiet to ‘the laws of ite own being; and none who with mure faithful, and realous friendship receives the symptom. of regene- ratiou which advance onthe horizon’ Therefore itis that the mternal situation of Mexico is aod always will be for vs,the object of a marked predilection Alicr thus justifying our persistency on this subject, and on subjects of uu identical character, it remais also for us 10 #firm the approbation, which, ‘without ¢ simulation, we concede to ‘he dictatorical energy esta- biished im Mexico And in Comgso we do not deviate from that wucient temperance which serves as a guide to our opinions, nor do we defend that eageraes- beyond the absolute in theory, which in every kind of aflairs, public a weil as private. serves as an origia to numerous evils, The fixed rule of human things is in the system of perpetual transition and transaction through which are freed useless appendages, aoa the course of events is mouléed to the real exigencies of a pacific developement. But there aré also critical moments which require extra. ordinary remedies, wud nou-deviation from the beaten path comes to be in such case on act of weakness as ig norant ax unpardonable, Such momeats are those Mexico is at prevent passing through, and it is ecessary in them to recoucentryte ail her turce and energy to weke a vigorous head to the threatening dangers, Che madness of past days is alike the cause und the jastii- cation of present severity. Wherever disorder is ea Ubroned, or where it begins toaypear, there iv is most necestary to reinvest the chiet in authority with the widest and most irresponsible power. In proportion to the severity of the k will have to be the means of defence, and therefor 3 we will never cease to respect, nud ae experience daily confirms—the chief eaemy of all improvement aud of all progress comes to be the revola tiovary schools. Its positive aud its nega.ive action alike exercise equal and noxious sway In applying to Mexico the condition of such a situa- tion, wedo not yield to any sudden attsek of heated fantasy; the proofs everywhere abound.

The hderal democratic party Oi Mexico itself, in a long, badly written and badly son ceived manifesto, which at the last moment it direcved to Grnesal Santa anna, in support of his views, placed, as a primordial condition, the defence, to the last ga<p, of rationality against the advances of envious neighbors. ‘The frontier population of the Rio Bravo, repul-ing at every hazard tte intrigues and invasion | of Caravajal, has given another even more solemn and defiuite proof of the spirit which animates then. The word nationality is the only one which to day bas anecho in the mind of the maases, because their instinct advises them that the pre tended Christianizers do not trouble themselves with their education out of pure philanthropic charity. All this is certain; and, nevertheless, itis sufficient that one has had the boldness to pronource traitorous words against the sacred principles of nationality and race, to urge the curbing of such attempts. At least to inspire foreigners witb respect, and to prevent cajoled people fiom being emboldened of such futile promies of aid, there should be established a strong dictatorship in Mex: ico, as a matter not only convenient, but indispensable. ‘The period of organivation adequate to the hab ts and sada 9A SANE Tt , : TERA , sbecimens shown us are «f the most beautiful chara ster. necessities of the country will come somewhat later.
