AFFAIRS IN WASHINGTON. Our Washi: gion Correspondence. Wasmatoy, Nov, 22, 1853, Tee exiles tek Wan ehaiseer the Reoctatraney ident wi ever may have lost, — have eee by that alsoreditable trans action ‘This fact addresses iteelf with peculiar force to the de- mocracy of the Southern States. We do not eavy that Pha Sesession Successes against the Unionists— Defeat of Gen. | jan his soscgonmie who can, unmoved, contemplate such Brote and Gov. Cobb by the Cabinel—Admunistr ation Leader fm the Senate, fc. ‘To-day’s telegraphic despatch from Georgia struck the @abinet like a thunder clap. They enjoyed the defeat of Bowell Cobb with s gusto, and hailed the return of the @reat secessionist, MeDonald—the President of the Nash ‘ville Convention—as a triumph of Davis and Marcy, to be ‘ased as an offset to the New York electicas, until it oc- eurred to them that all the democrats of Georgia might mot be bowing their heads to King Caucus, and prefer @eath and party obsequies, to life, sword im hand, amid twoubles among traitors. Howell Cobb honestly tried, feat te save the Union, and then the democratic party of Georgia. The administration promised to aid his efforts fm regard to the party; for they placed, very justly, a high value on the Expire State of the South. Yet scarce- dy had Johnson been elected Governor, by about 500 ma- jority, than the word cf command went forth from Wash- imgton to bring Cobb’s head in a basket, for the gratifica- thon of the Seeretary of War, and his coadjutor of the Beate Department. The head, however, does not seem to eome, and Cobb, it would appear, has it in bis power to punich the perfidy of the Cabinet. The administration is determined to put down the na- tional democrats in New York, and to exterminate the ‘Union men of the South; “for,” say the spoilemen of the Gebinet, “Dickinson and Cobb are ambitious men;” and ‘the administration is determined to curb the ambition ef the outs! of the spoils Cabinet has been, either to The whcle strike down every man who has aspirations’ beyond a Place under the government, or to make him accept a Commission. Dickinson did not accept ® commission; therefore he had to be struck down. Howell Cobo could Bot be got rid of by a foreign appoiniment; so he, too, had to be + ited As to Gener«| Cus, the plan was to kill him by con- temptuous ovglect. He was not consulted om any sud- ject and it was sufficient for him to indicate a preferrnce any direction, even so far down as the postmaster in ‘his own city, to be refused. Finally, whem the quarre: between the national democrats and free avilers ensued, the administratior, with that old political huckster, Mar: Rhy its head ventured on trying to obtain Gen. Cass’ against his own friends. His ears were poisone! against Dickinson, and & letter addressed to nim by the President, caloulared to draw from him some unguarded expres:ion of benevolent seutiment, that was to be used to pamper avd fatten the Vao Buren faction in Sew York Some time ago, while Mr. Atherton was yet alive Gen. Pierce’s free soil friends were loud in their jests that Gen. Cass was ‘but a Senator.” and Atherton, the ebi sen Jeader of the administration, “‘another;’ yet, no sooner was Mr. Atherton in his grave, than the administration was anxious to appoint Gen. Cast Gen. Pierce’s im by dubbing him ‘administration lead But the most perfidious of all mover yarsued toward Mr. Buchanan. In the first place, ds were taken from him and disarmed by being tate of things. Why Jo they approve ‘he course of “softer” The answer is obvious. Because they are ** bone of their bone and flesh of their flesh.” REPAIRS AT THE WHITE HOUSE. The i Pe ee ad ay An Tepairs at the jent’s house are progreasing rapidly under the direction of Capt. T. J. Lee, of the To. graphical Corps of the United States Army. By the guage of the act makipg the appropriation for repairs and furpitue, &e., Congrers provided that the money be ex under the direction of the President. ané he as. signed the entire duty to Capt. Lee. From what we have seen from day to day, we are sacisfied that the money has been expended with jucgment and pradence. The great item of expense has been the heating apparatus for warm. ing the house. Ail who have had occasion to visit the President’s house in the winter ¢: are aware how ir perfectly all previous nts for heating have succeeded” The present, we have no doubt, will werk admirably. It was selected by Capt. Lee, and put up bj Merers. Walworth & Nason, of Boston, Mas+. O pen tions of the house, demgned by directien of the officer in charge, including painting of ceiling, &c., are simple, and in exceilent taste. The carpets and pestry furnished by Merars. 4. T. Stewart & Co., of New York, are substantial and serviceable. They ace’ not so elegant and expenvire, perhaps, ‘a8 are to be found in many private houses of wealthy gentlemen in our large cities, but are fitting and roper, both in design and material. Much c-edit is due Mr Strickland, of the houseof Mesers. Stewart & Co, for his promptness and unwearied efforts in advancing the work, and superintendiog the hanging of the tapestry. Nothing bas been doue to the portion of the house occu- pied by the President for bis business and reception rooms. He preferrnd that so far ashe personally was concerned. things should remainas they were. The credit of these neces+ary, economical, and well chosen repairs, is due, frat to the liberality of Congress in making the ap- propriation of money, and vext, to the fortunate selection of tne President, in detatling eo judicious and accomplish- ed an officer as Captain L+e to take charge of the work. A SINGULAR OMISSION. We hear that the secretary uf the Treasury has of late devoted much time to a revision of the titles to much of the realestate long held by the government for Custom Houre purposes, Se. In the course ot this examination, it has become manifest that the general government lost the usw@} exclusive jurisciction over the Custom House at Alexandria. Vs., by the act of retroeession, passed in 1846, it will be remembered. The property on which the building stands was purchased by the government in 1820. when Alexan ‘ria formed part of the District of Co- lum bia, which precluded a necessity for an application to the State of Virginia to -est in the Cuited Srates exclu sive jurisdiction over it. Ia drawiog up the act of retro cession, the title to the property iteel’ was only secured to the general government, the jurisciction being caded back with that of the rest of Alexandria county. The rem dy ix sn application to the State of Virzisia to pass an act again according the requisi jurisdiction to the general government, which, we understand, is now being prepared in the ‘Treasury Department. AN IMPORTANT EXTRADITION POINP DECIDED. We hear thst in revirig a recent case, the Attorney vested with power and office;then himseif was seat to | England, with the cistinct understanding that he should have no opportunity aflorded him of distinguishing him self; and lastly, Col..onn W. Formey (?) was made the leader of the kitchen Cabinet, for the special purpose of gagging Mr Buch«nan’s friends in Pennsylvania. Gene ral Pierce imagines that Forney is essential to Mr. Buchanan’s success in Pennsylvania, and for that purpose is desirous of keeping him a prisoner in Washington. To make bis captivity comparatively easy, he is allowed 'o ‘de moderately hard ia New York and Pennsylvania, while in other respects he is employed to do ihe dirty work o! ‘the administration, and to be, in his own person the ds. fender 0: Gen. Pierce. The game is a singular one on both sides, each being alternately duped by the other. ‘While these things are going on, the Unio continues its fulsome praise of the President and bis Cabinet, and its denunciations against the honest and virtuous men of his party. Verily. if the President were a violinist, a fs- vorite tenor, or # piano player, and the puts in the Union paid for, they could not be in more wretched taste, or more clumsily written. Never has any previous adminis- tration made such a systematic effort to subsidize the press, or to gag it by oificial patronage. YN: Wasurarox, Nov. 22, 1853. The Health of the President—The Message—The Mormons— What Wilk Congrevs Do, ée., de 7 A gentleman just from the White House says that the President is a little uacer the weather today. The troubles in the party, the troubles in the Cabinet, the troubles of making up his message, and the reports for ongresa, to say nothing of the office-morgers, have wor ried him exceedingly for the last six weeks, Still he maintains his equanimity, and exhibite a remarkable amount ef patience and philosophy where evea an ortho- dox Quaker would lose his temper. Whoa provoked beyond endurance, he puts en his bat and walks two or three miles. If you have any stock in French spoliations sell out Polk vetoed the Dill of five millions indemnity, and Pieroe fans strict a constructionist as Mr. Polk, The surplus funds in the treasury will be wanted for ‘manifest @estiny.” And Iam disposed to believe that the President will be even @ stricter constructionist than Mr. Polk upoa river nd harbor improvements; and that throwiag ont a sug gestion or two upon the policy of collecting tonnage du ties for the purpores of river and hsrbor improvement’, he will leave the subject to the discussion of Congress, He will do enough, however, to convince both houses that the surplus money in the treasury is not for rivers ant harbors; but wiil be required to meet the contingen™ ex a of “manifest dertiny ” I understand that the President has been fully posted up with official information concerning the Mormons, of t importance— inasmuch as it shows that what the a of Sheba reported of the glories of Selomon, mi de truly said of the kingdom cf Brighsm Young, not one half has heretofore been told about it. My informant, however, is of the opinion that the Presicent will ¢o mothing more in this business than to call the attention of Congress to the question. whether the Morm ne shall be any longer recognized and supported asa territorial Organization under the protection of government, polyg wy and sll: or whether measures shall be taken to re- duce these Latter day Saints to the level of the laws and usages of civilized society. This is a nics question; but ‘the sooner it is settled the better. Tam assured that there will be s considerable number of the House of Representatives who d» not approve the the dismisea) of Bronson, but who will be diposed to hush up the affair for the sake of peace in the family; and for the same reasons it is most likely Mr. Re ifield will be quietly confirmed. The hards must compare notes and count noses before they can venture upon open war with the administration. They have not forgottea the fate of the conservatives who revelied agsinst Old Hichory? such as Tallmadge, Rives, of Va, and that set. It will therefore take »ome time yet to rally an organized democratic opporition in Congress against the adminis. tion, Took, for example at the case of Guthrie. Not one, but every man from Kentucky, who has expressed to me his opinion in the removal of Bronson, says that all maa of all parties in Kentucky condemn that act—that Guthrie is net so popular in the State as many other de- mocrats—that the democratic pepers in the State are itehing to let out upon him; but from respect to General a and froma desire to restore peace, they keep quiet. You know, too, that Hannibal’s army, in the very oc- eupation of Italy, was demoralized by the spoils, and the same may be seid of a large number of the compromise or national democrats outside of New York. Take the ease of General Cass himself. How ean he consistently he administration without first recalling his son from Rome, And 0 it may be said of other natioual democrats—‘‘The spirit is willing, but the flesh ix weak ’? “Siow can any ambitious young member, looking to the ehances of 19°" uw oan ne venture to ron his hesa i the Cabinet without first being perfectly sure it he can make a hole in it? ‘ I have no doubt that General Pierce’s see will be a perfectly ortacdox and thoronghly satisfactory demo- erstic document. No doubt of it—thoroughly national anc thc roughly progressive, yet strict construction to the beckoone. Iam quite sure that the recommenda tions of the message will commend themselves to s large majority of both houres. And that the reports of the several! departe ents will show more or less of retrench ment aud reform there is no reason to doubt. Strong. tren, upon its measures, and the execution of the la vs, the administration can only be attacked ny the dias flected of the party upon its appointments. And upon this issue, apprehend that New York will staud pretty much alone—at least in the outset. Each raember has to loob after his own chanorr at home, and auything that might stir up a third party i= his district i4 @ ticklish ven ture. J bavshesrd that the hards intend to get Mike Walsh t» throw a bon. bshell into the House, the very firet chance, im the form of a resolution reprobating the dismissal of Bronson ae an uninstifir ble interference in State rigats; but Mike Walsh, I take it will first inquire what can be éone with such's resolution, He is ready to go before, in & bold move with any man, but Mike is not the man to waste his amb unition. Biair and Rives, of the old Globe, of the Van Baren dy. masty, are sure to be quite sanguine of the Houre print- ing. Their new plan of a daily evening paper, which shall include a fall report of the debates and proceedings of both houses, is intended mainly to show what they ean do with their printing Taterials snd arrangements, endation. Aad they will which will be a practical reeom be backed up oy Benton from the start. The Union, if there is any ight it out; if not, it will carry off the fat jobs of both houses. The quertion of giving the Union the printing of either houses will ve « more pi jeal text than Redfield. But as things now “ar, the hards will be too weak tomake even a respectable show of resistance, As members gatber in, however, and rub their noses together in the oyster cellars, the complexion of affairs may change; but just now itis as soft as the weather, ia very soft.

[From the New Orleans Crescent, Nov. 16 ] A most strange and eventful ty agedy—having its begin ning im an illicit and violent attachment, aad market througbout by a strong shading of romance—was yester day brought to a bloody conclusion in the hitherto quiet precincts of Bourdon street. The chief hero was a French- Tman—none other than a fiery Gaul could have played out a role so blovdy—and the heroine a French woman, young, fascinating, and endowed with a beauty at onee her scle fortune and her curse. But ture so strongly marked needs no touching at our hands, fe will at cn ¢ proceed to the facts which we desiga tore- ate. Yesterday, about one o’clock, the inmates of the house No 80 Bourbon street were startled by the sharp report of a pistol, and then another, followed by a fall as of hea. vy bodies on the floor of one of the inner rooms. Rushing into the room, the occupants «f the heure found s young end beautiful woman—Madame Eleanor Fouget, wife of Charles Sage—laying prostrate on the fidor, purple with blood, and apparently struggling in the death agony. Near her lay the bocy of a man, whose bloody brains co- vered the flcor, with his skull blown to pieces, and quite dead. In each band he held pistol, with oue of which he had fired at tue woman, and with the other had slain himself. It then appeared that a servant of the house had ben present, who had seen both the attempted mur- der and the a’ter suicide. ing mace strict inquiry, we learned the foliowing —The woman was a native of Franee, married to Charles Sege, anc the twain hai lived in Cincionati, where the decessed became acquan’ed with them. Madame Sage had kepta cigar atore in that city, on Sixth stieet, between Maio and Walnut streets, With har éxtreme beauty and attractiveness she Crew around her a host of customers, among them {he deceased, and the prodisof tha little shop were soon wace the means of the purchase of other property Sage removed with his wife to Latoaa Springs. on the Kevtucky ride of the Onio river, and ouly two or thre~ miles from Cincinuati, where he purchased a house. Thither the deceased, whose name was J. Bett- ford, followed them, having become so desperately en amored of Madame, that living cut of her presence was tohim a thing unsvpportable Here also Bettiord pur- chased a property, and falling into bad health, waa takea to the howe of Sage, where he was nursed by Mada until bis recovery, Her constant friendly visite to him during bis sickness increased his patsion, and on his con- Valescence be resolved to follow the pair to this city, whither Macame came to fll an engagement as av actress in Vaudevilles, in the Orleans Theatre. They came own onthe steamer J. Cheaoweth, and having arrived here on Sumday, Madame and her husband took rooms at the house where the tragedy occurred, Qn $he trin 4syq Bettford bac taken frequent Ge to declare his pas sion for Madame, and éven went so far aa to propose an elopement. ‘This proposition it would appear, she had r jected and failed to make known the overtures made ber, fearing that from the desperate charaster of her admirer that some fatal volence might take place btween him and ber husbaad. Bett(urd had frequently threatened Madame that if she did not comply with his wishes he would take ber life. Yesterday he resolved to renew hix importunities, but fiadi ug the virtue of Madame proof againg: his seductive solicits tions, entered ber room, and the result was as we ha related. He Cid not, however, proceed to extrem without baving made @ final effort to compass his desires With the weapons in his hands, and with words of burn ing attachment on his lipr, he onee more rene we? his im portunities, which failing, his hellish instincts were aroused, and the catastrophe as was stated.

Of her re: covery physicians entertain not the slightest hope. In an hour the fatal shot was fired the self.de- etroyer was a corpse. The weapon he had used was a re- vclver, and well had it performed its allotted work. An inquest was held on the dody of the deceased by Deputy Coroner Terrill, and a verdict attributing his death to a pistol shot wound, inflicted by himself, was returned. It appears that he first fired at the artiste “and then discharged another barrel of the revolver in his ightesr, He was bora in France, bat had lived several INTESESTING FROM THE FAR WEST.

On Monday last, General Twiggs and staff arrived at this now sequestered city, by stage from below, in consequence of an order from Wasbington, which, as your te'egraph | wires) eport to the New Orleans papers, was prompted by recent difficulties in the Creek nation. This was an event creating some surprise and a sensation distinctly felt im all parts of the town, more particularly as but few knew of and fewer hid learned anything dednite concerning the said ‘ difficulties.”” ‘The law in relation to intercourse with the Indian tribes authorizes all agents, sub-agents, military officers, ete., to spill any spirituous Hquors found unlawfully intro- duced inte that country, and also libels the goods, pack- ages, and peltries of “any white person or Iniian” found with such spirits im possession. Besides it subjects to fine and imprisonment any ‘person’? found guilty ef un- lawfu ly introducing the same. This act is also a viola- tion of the Creek laws, but our courts have not as yet re- cognized Indian courts as having authority to bar an ac- ticn in them. Upon the question whether under this act an Indian may be considered @ ‘‘person”’ liable to fine aud imprison- ment, various opinions are heli, The judge of the District Court (Ringo) an! the super- intendant of Indian affairs, (Drew), however, hold the affirmative, and some few months ago, some five or seven Creeks, #ho bad been punished by the Creeks’ laws, wore arres\ed under writs on indictments found for the same offence by the grand jury at its last (May) term, aud were noon after rescued from the hands of tha deguy marsbal by some of their tribe. The ma:shal himseif (Hays) bas but lately returned frm atrip to that nation. where he was unable to find the parties, but he received acsurances that they would be forthcoming at the next court, ‘The U. 8 Commissioner at this place, (Hinckley,) and otters are willing to believe that as the act was iatend+d to regulate inte: course with the Indian tribes, and as the word Indian is used in the act, the term pervon, although once restricted by the adjective “white? was not iutended when used without any restriction, to comorehsnd Indi aps. Doubtlys, the matter will claim the attsntion of the Indian Department, and Cong) ess will 1e-express its senti- ments—let us hope a jittle more preciwly—on this subject.

We have kad an arrival from the Upper Missouri. The party consisted of Lieut. Saxton, of the United States Ar- my, with 5 detachment of soldiers; Alexander Culbertson, Esq, an old trader amongst the Blackfeet Indians, and Mr. Jobn ©, Tevis, of this city, who went up the river for | his healt BE@Lieut. Saxton was ordered from the Pacific const with provisions and supplies to relieve Governor Stevens | and party. He deposited them at several pcints, the last | being st St. Mary’s, west of the mountains, about two hundred miles from the great falls of the Miesouri, and in ths territory of the Flatheais, where Father De Schmit, formerly founded a Jesuit Missionary establiskment. The Lieutenant proceeds on to Washington with despatches from Governor Stevens. In former letters I have given an account of the jour- ney of the Governor and party, as far as Fort Usion We will now follow his footsteps onward. A few days after his arrival at Fort Union, at the mouth of the Yellowstone, a portion of the presents for the. In- diaus were distributed to Assinabonis, a warlike ang nu. merous tribe, occupying the country northward of the fort into the British territories, and east of the Blackfeet. ‘They were much pleased, of course, and evinced a diapo: sition for once to receive and act upon good advice. Mr Culbertson had very recently prevailed upon them to patch up a piece with the Piegars, @ baag of the Black feet, and thin peace was farther cemen‘ed hy the Gover nor. Mr. Culbertson thi nks that if the influence now ac- quired is judiciously exercised, other tribes and bands may be induced to come to an understanding Thave before said that the Governor arrived at Fort Union on the Ist of August. He remained t days to repoxe his men anc recruit his animals. 11th he departed for Fort Benton. Mr. Culbertson, Mr. Tevis and others, accompanied him. Measured by an | odometer, the distance between the forts is three hun | dred and’ seventy-five miles. They met several parties of Indiaze. With one of these they were neer having brush but escs by the prudent and prompt inte: rence of Mr. Culbertson. One hundred’ and twenty-fiv miles from Fort Union the party reachea Milk eroek, a steam tearce)y known to our maps, and followed it for about one hundred and eighty miles in a direction nearly cue west. Pressing up to the banks of Milt creek, they foun’ two very remarkable mountains, one ealled by the traders Little Rocky and the other the Bear’s Paw. The first is | evidently volcanic and of more recent formation. Crosa- Affairs in Mexico. the New Urleans Picayune, Nov. 4@ } ‘There are t@o a1 ts of some interest #'(th which the Mexican papers have been occupyiug ther aselves since wa reosived our last files. Que of them re! steg to diffi sultien which arose at Acapulco between the slexiean authorities and American citizens, and the oth’r to reported projects for the invasion of Senora. We have already had sowe notice of both in our California, rs, but both seem to have been of more oonseque“sce what we have yet seen would bave led us to #appose, With regard to the affair at acapuloo, the steamships of the San Francisco and l’snama lives putting in there were not afforded the facilities for eoaling and uring pro ‘visions and water, which were guaranteed to them by existing treaties; and as we have already announeed, ey. therefore resolved to stop calling at that port. The feel- ing thts createc was subsequently heighteaed by a report reaching San Francisco, stating that the Ame: schooner B, 1, Allen had been seized there without the slightest provocation, detained by customs’ authorities of the port, and her captein and crew imprisoned in the fort.

The American Consul was also said to have entrusted to Oapt. Bhrnt, of ‘hat vessel, a despatch from our Minister at Mexico, addressed to apy commander of a vessel of war cruising in the Pacific; and it was supposed that this ‘despatch contained a requirement for the commander to repair immediately to Acapulw. It was further stated thet the ‘rigate St. Lawrence was to sail immediately for the purpose, as was said at San Fraucisoo, of demancing redress for the injuries of which the United States had to complain, and to insure for the future the protection due to American citizens. The Trait d'Union of the 224 ult., in giving these reports, remarked that it knew nothiog whatever of their correctness, but subjcina 10 them the following correspondense from Acapulco, dated Oct 14 “The American frigate St. Lawrence ix expected hece every mcment, as the Ualifornia papers will have already informed you. If we are to believe the passengers by the Jat steamer, certain (slxe rumors, joined to some mere truthful reports, have caused considerable excitement at San Francirco. We rhall see the result of these proceed- ings; for the S. Lawrence comes with a fixed object; the agent of the first line expects her every moment —Ame rieans have for long time prclsimed that they had some old accounts to reitle with Acapulco; but notwith standing all this, I thick everything will be satisfactorily arranged.” In its issue of the 26th ult., the 7'rait d’ Union publishes the following correspoxdence from Acapulco, dated the th “The St. Lawrence, of sixty-six guna, arrived at our port yesterday, the 17th. She is commanded by Commo- dore Dulaney. The St. Lawrence was about to leave for Honolulu, when upon information being received that an American schooner had been .eized in our port, and that the crew had been massacred (a statement perfectly false,) he directed her course for Acapulco. Her duty, therefore, will, in all probability, be confined to the pre ferring of some claims relative to the American steamers which touch bere.”’ The Siglo of the 24th ult, referring to these events, says that some time previously the schooner L. B Allen had been released by the supreme government, of which. however, the American Commodore was doubtless una- ware. It also announces that some cc mmunicationt had, in the first instance, been exchanged bet the com- mandant of the port of Acapulco and tie Consul of the United States; but the commander of the St. lawreace had declared that he should himself undertake the set- tlement of the question connected with the Ll B. Allen, At the time of the departure of the courier with this in- teliigence a report was current that a bombardment of the town was threaten:d. ‘The Diaro Oficial, referring to all the foregoing reports, eays:— Mevhiey are 1acucreab itu every ‘xeapesti aa well’ ta. chat relates to the treatment which Unied States versels re- ceive in our porte, as in what concerns the affair of the schooner L B.

The whole story, comequentiy, must be consilered incorrect ’” only further notice of this affair is given ia the Siglo VLY., of the 7th inst . in an article refering to the foreign relations of Mes ico, ia which the fullowiag passaga occurs :— ~ “It was aleojreported in the most valgar manner that the frigate o' war Bt.

The Universal publishes the important and quite novel intelligence that an €x sedition was being prepared io the United States against Yroatan, with the view of taking possession of the peninsula, and thence directing attaces against Cuba Our very shrewd eotemporary dwells on the subject at great length, and in the course of its obeer- vations declares that the late revolution in that depart- ment—as Santa Anna bas decreed the ci-d:vant Staes shall be called—was pleinly fomented and guided by Ame ricans. The Trait d’Unim, however, very deliberately throws cold water on tris iugenious story of the Universal, and declares that it hac heard nothing whatever of the facts referred to, as our readera will doubtless readily believe. The same paper El Universal, in ite ive of the 4th inst., says that it had for some time known that several persons bad b-en arrested, In consequence of the discovery of a révoludonary plan for the re éstabdlishment of the federal system, but tant. it had waited for i s cotempora- ries to announee it. In one cay, it says, toree persons rested, and among then Senor Zavala, formerly ¥ from Oajaco. there are many fii 4 of trouble brewing in Mexico. The Trait d’ Union of the 29th ult. gives an account of certain perscns having forged the rignature of the Minis- ter of the Interior, and saving, under color of the forgery, addressed notes to certain of the Governors, calliog oa them to exert themselves to procure a change of the exis'- ing policy of the country. A circular of the Minister of the Interior, it saya, requires all the authorities of the re- public rigorously to search out and prosecute the authors and perpetrator of the xchesne. The most extravagant s:ories are being propagated about the weight and odious character of the texation about to se imped on the people by Santa Anna and nia governxent, They had been so widely +pread, and were #0 generally believed, as well they might be, considering the experince already had in this direction, that the Dario Oficial had thought it neve ray to refer w them, and to declare them wicked and absurd, spread for the purore of depreciating the acts of thy administration * Ic is reported,” it says, ‘am mg other things, that {tis in contensplation to impose a tax upon water, ano'ber upon light, and ¢0 on, upon objects of prime nece-sity ‘The people have alvo >een anvured that a proposition for the re estatlishment of the inquisition in the republic wi under consideration. The @ rumors,” it adds, ‘are the work of calumny; as also all those are which refer to general or partial changes in the cabiet.”” ‘The Unitersal, ia a long article, founded, it in anid, gord authority, enters into an explanation of the causes of the rupture between Mexico and the Spanish Minister. The manuer in which it arose is said to be this:* The pre- rent government refused to ratify the arrangements made with Senor Ramirer, purposing making new regalations for Spar ish conventions, the dish noradle ones formerly accepted by Senor Pacheco, and sub-equently assented to by Seror Ramirez, being opposed, it is said, to one of the articles of the treaty existing between the two countries. Negotiations for a new arrangement were accordingly made, when, according to the Universal, they were inver- rupted by a trifling incident, and at the same timeall re- lations between Mexico and the Spanish Minixter were suspended. This incicent, it says, was the neglect of the Minister cf Finance to attend at a meeting fixed to treat ofthe alfair. Itis quite clear, however, that this is a lame attempt to gloss over the facta of the case, These wou!d seem to be much more truly that the Mexiean g vernmert had endeavored with high hafd to over:ide exinting treaties, to endeavor to overreach the Spauish creditors of the couvtry, and to feroe the Spacish Minister into,a course favorabl- to their views; but to all of #hich Senor Remire offered firm and eventually indignantgoppo- sition. The Orden of the 26th ult, publishes a supple- nt, containing » letter of some four colamns in tength, signed by four Spanish creditors, ia which they refer par: ticularly to the conduct of the legation in relation to the existing conventions between Mexico and Spain, the at- tempi ofthe Mexiean government to override hem, aw) the endeavors of the Universal to support them in doing #0. Senor Ramirez also, in the® Siglo of the 27th, publish- ena similarly lengthy letter, reterring to the Universal's article, and vigorously defending his course with respect to the conventions ; and the Univeral sub-equently an nounces that relations were likely soon to be renewed, and that there was every reason to believe thats new arrange- ment would be come to, which would putan end to all ifferenees ; an¢ the Diario Oficial cf the 7th inat. an- f noupcer that all thir had been done, to the great gratia. cation of all parties.
