The oth or dey we reourted the artival of Dr. Cottman on an, important taisdon from Bussta, and today we are cal'ed upoato natice the prerence of a whole host of #4 reign celebrities, The recent revolution in Mexioo, ak'd the tyranny of Supta Anna, have criven a pa mber of distia- guisted Mexicans intocxile, several (of whom have taben up their residence among us aatil a chango of fortune permite them to returm (fo their ni tive. conntry. The Broadway promeay den, as he p ses by thet man with bronzed compl xion and Spuntsh cast of features, little thinks that'.he at one ‘imo was President of Venezuela, or that shat one has cocupied the most important offices uma'er the Mexican republic. Here, too, is snother, of ac ea- tirely different personal appearance, who cpaics from Russia to learn something of our institublons of learning, and to inform his iniperial master how the Western republic is going ahead in everything that makes a nation great and it: people intelligent and prosperous. New York has, in fact, become the grand centre of attra stion to all travellers; and no fcaeiguer thinks of leaving the United States without peying usa visit. We have endeavored, ia the following brief sketches, to give our readers seme idea of the cistinguishod strangers who are Row sojourning among us:— Gen. Jose Antonio Paez, who has been a resident of New York for the last three years, was born in 1790, in the Prevince of Barinas, Vonesuela. At the commencement of the revolution he enlistei as private scidier in the ranks of the patriots, and served with such distincticn that during the first compaign ho wes promoted to the rank of Sergeant of Cavalry. His military career is marked by the ereateat intrepidity and the most daring adventures. Rejecting the most tempting offers which were made. by the Spanish government, he adered to the cause of his country with s fimness that no adversities could shake. He was twice taken privoner, aud aw- rowly escaped being shot. In almost every action with the royalist forces he distinguished hitnself, and on one occcagion he routed an aray of twice his strength, at a place called Mata de la Micl, killed 400 of the enemy, took 400 prisoners, 3,500 horses, acd all their arms and ammunition. But notwith- stanéing hie incredible braycry and superhumin exertions, tho patriots were defeated inthe disas- trous campaigns of 1814-16-16. The year 1817, however, was morc favorable to their dauao, for Paez, joining his forces to these of olivar, wos. several battles, and ina few years after Spanish rale Venezuete, was completely over. thrown. Fer his services in the war, Gen. Paez wae rewarded with the rank of Commander in-Chief by tho Congress of his country. In 1830, ho resigned the office of Provisional Chief, to whioh he had been unanimously appointed at tho close of the revola tion, and was elected first Presidoat of the Vene guola Republic. His military talents were agin calfed into requisition in 1835, ia the suppreasion of the insurrection beaded by General Monagas, Fo his succeasfal termination of thie outbreak, he was presented with a golden sword, and received tie title of “‘Ikustrious Citizen,” from Oongrees.. The year 1839 beheld him the second time elected to the office of President, at the close of which he retired to private life, determiced never again to accept office. In 1846, however, he was again preposed for the office, but declined, and gave his influence in favor of Monagas, whoro restless ambitivn he thought would be thus satisfied. Tho result showed how much he was mistaken in his estimate of the character of his successor; for he had hardly ob- tained possession of the reins of government when he began hia attempts to establish a military despot- ism. Tho people immediately rose against the go- vernment, and, with their old tried leader at their head, marched against the nsurper. On this occa sion popular rights were defeated, and their gallant defender waa thrown into privon, where he waz treated with the greatest rigor. In 1850, however, be was cet at liberty, whon he came to this country. It is not at all improbable, however, that the pre- sent stiuggle between the people and their tyrants will terminate in favor of the former, when General Paez chall return once more to the country for whose liberty he contended ao bravely. Gen. Cevallos—who is at present staying at tho Metropolitan Hotel, with some twenty of his friends—- was formerly President of tho Mexican Republic, Ho is a man of great ability, and has rendered im- portant services to his native country. As he op- posed to the utmost the attompts of Santa Anna tocetablish a military despotism and overthrow what little there remained of popular liberty, he wos driven ito exile on the succesafal return of his antagonist and hia election to the Presidency, Cevallos, it will bo remombered, became President of Mexico, by virtuo of his office, after the resignation of Arista. He sorved with distinction, bosides, in some of the highest offlccs under tho republic— was President of tho Supreme Court of Justice, Governor of the State of Michoacan, and obtained & wide celebrity for his ability as .a lawycr. His libeval principles, attractive manners, and prepos- sessing appearance, have made him a great favorite with the people, who would greet his return with the mout enthusiastic wolcome. the numerons friends who have followed Cer into exile is Gen. Comonfort, who is justly regarded as one of tno ablest men that Megico has éver produced. He has been one of the most de- termined opponents of Santa Anna, and was in command of a fort at Acapulco daring the war be tween that general and Arista. A rather amusing Incident occurred here, which we consider particu- larly deserving of notice, as illustrating at once the character. Santa Anna and Comonfort. The lat- ter, it appeare, had about seven hundred men in the fort when he heard of the approach of the enemy's forces, numbering between aix and seven thousand, Although so much inferior, he bravely determined to hold out to the last man, and prepared for a dee peratc though it might prove a hopoless atrnggle, What was bls surprise, however, when he received an offer of one hundred thousand dollars from Santa Anns on condition that he would surrender. “Tho gallant commendor replied'that ho did not need his monoy, and added that if he wanted the fort be had better come and take it. The moxt Gay, however, Santa Anna came to the conclaaion that he could do better eleewhere, and yiarched off without even firing agun. At the conclvision of the campaign, in which he was generally unsuccessful, he retarned to the capital, gave a gl wing account of his victories, and received, with ‘he satisfied alr of a conqueror, the plandits of big adherents. Shonld Cevallos return to Mexice, Gev .Comonfort will be ono of the strongest supportery of his government. | the ¥etropelita Hotel.
