The docu- meat is an important one, and to those who have fol- lowed the windings of the Dictator’s intrigues during the past year, it wil) present but another art alep towards the overthrow of the republic and the estab Kalment of an anarchy in its place, It is true that he appeals to the people (dla Bonaparte) for their vote, but at the same time it must be remembered that he has converted the once free Gtates of Mexico into de- partments, and making them directly responsible to the central government, has trampled dowa indlepenient public opinion, so that it cannot be heard on the present issue. Here is the document :— APPEAL OF SANTA ANNA TO THE MEXICAN NATION, ‘TUE MINISTER OF THR INTERIOR TO THE GOVERNOR OF THK STATS AND THE POLITICAL CHLEFS OF THE TRERRITORINS, Your Excelloncy:—The nation, after the events oc- curred in Guadalaxara and in this capital, at the end of 136: and beginning of 1853, called H. 3. H. to preside over ite destinies. The General-President, a3 a gool Mextoan, considered it his duty to sacrifice his owa do: mestic tranquillity to the exigencies of his country, and, obeying the will expressed so freely by his countrymen, he came to offer his Inst service to the republic, con tinning those that he has, at all times, rendered her, either in prosperity or advorsity, guided always by & patriotism which he is proud to have eleva ‘ed as bigit as any of his fellow-citizens. Having thus assumed the Bupreme power, which he neither ambitioned or con- quered by the force of arms, the people, with a notorious unanimity, prolonged his unlimited powers for aa in- definite lapse of time, when, according to the convention of the 6th of February of the preceding year, the con- vocation of an assembly threatened to destroy a great part of the full powers with which his Highaess was in- vested. That was the second manifestation given by the people at that time, by which it freely and voluntarily trusted to his Highness the precious fate of the republic. ‘The General-Presid received with unbounded grati- tude auch an explicit and dattering testimony of cond- dence from the Mexicans. He consequently sees, with the greatest sorrow and indignation, thé insurrec tion, without motive, of Don Juan Alvares at the jent’s arrival, expressed the grief he is State had not deen the first to give H. 8. H. proofs of loyalty and adhesion. Nobody is ignorant of the events which afterwards took plaice ia the South, being anques- Liouably the most remarkable of ‘all, the promptttude with whigh the President ran to those’ deadly climates, in order to procure the re-establishment of pence, w: is the first condition for securing the happiness of a tion, All know perfectly well that then, for the third time, all the Mexicans, trom the great cit to the re moitest villages of the republic, sent to the government unanimous manifestations, expressing their loyalty and obedience to their chief magistrate, and universal re- of sedition. H. S. H.. cmaiianing all theme adhauions ta the eaves ho ropra- sents, did not doubt, nor could he have doubted a mo ment, that the vote of the people which called him froma foreign country, is the only case upon which | bear to fulfil the mission he received, of constity ablic, awed by the fuil powers, withou winced that he could by no means exe t enterprise. But asthe spirit of seditio arose in Guctrero and Michoacan has beea imitated in the distant village of Tamaulipas, and as in places minds are labori it duced by disloyal means, convinced that he cannet yet govern nor Wishing to rule the Mexicans against their will, and sthout being favored with their opinion, wants to know it by all possible means, and by the way which might betéer consult the public general free vote. at purpose he orders that, on the lst uf December next, popular assemblies be convoked, under the presidency of the'goyerno’ - fects, sub-prefects, or other respective suthotitie ese acsvmrblig will be composed of all the Mexican citizens of oay rank or condition, who are in the full enjoyment of all their rights. The assemblies will take place in the “State House, or any other public building of the capitals cited, towns and villages of the republic, in order that they may express the same day their opiaion, with fail, absolate liberty, and inviolab! security of the citizens, after this solemn act of express. ing their will on the two following interpeilstions:— 1. If the actual President of the Republic will con- tinue as chief magistrate, with the same full powers he now has? 2. if he is not to continue with the same full powers he now has, to whom is he to remit immediately the Presidency ¥ In each of the assemblies there will be an act, which aii the citizens present will subscribe, in presence of its President, in order that it might be closed, s sent to the respective Governors, who will remi President of the Counci) of State, in whose power g ect will remain until the 1st of Febraary next. That they, the Council, in full session, will select be tween its membérs a commission to take notice of the dominant opinion of the assemblies, the will expressed by the majority.

(From the New Orleans Picayune, Nov. 13.) Tuere have been a good many changes-in the inenm- bencies of government offices of lute. ‘To our mind they are indications of anything but stability in the existing state of affairs in Mexico. On the 23d ult., Gen. Yanez, who had been superseded in his political and military command of the department of Sonora by Senor Ramirez Arellano, handed over his office to the second in command, Von Manuel Gandara, vatil his successor should arrive to take formal posses sion of his post, Gen. Manuel Andrade has been nominated President of the supreme tribunal of place of Gen. Bassa: dre, who has been removed ai lered by the govern- ment to take up his quarters in the town of Tepeaco, ia the department of Puebla. Gea. Mariano Martiner has been appointed Governor and Commandant Generel of Coahuila. een. ante has been recalied to the capital from Lis political and military command in Nueyo Leon, and Gen, Jeronimo Cardona has been appointed his suc- cessor. Don Juan N. Rabago has been appointed administrator of Maritime Dues at Guaymas, In a village near Aleit anémute is reported to have been got up by some to the authorities! Liberty forever !’’ They were head- cd, it is stated, by the schoolmaster of the place. A force was sent against them from Tepic, and five of them, smong whom was the leader, were arrested, after which quiet was restored. The corvette Santa Anna, (not the schooner of the same name) of the Acupulco blockading force, narrowly escaped the same fate as her namexake. en, her sails, her upper works, and was rendered so helpless that she was only saved by being towed into She had on San Blas by assistance seut from La Suerte, board 93 men, of whom four sustdined serious injuries, | and one would have to undergo the operation of having his arm amputated. 1e papers of the city of Mexico report that the revo- lutionists of Yantepec killed the Administrator of Taxes there because he refused to deliver the public funds to them. At the beginning of the present month the inhabitants | of the Heroic city were much astonished and alarmed by dead fish being cast on the beach from the sea. In suc! quantities were they thrown up that the authorities ad- judgedt i necessary to take active measures to provide against an ill effect on the public health; among others, ‘aving them buried and prohibiting the sale of any fish in the markets or about the city. Orders had been transmitted to ail adjacent districts to have similar pre- cautions adopted. An examination of the fish having een ordered to be made, the military medical. corps re- ported that the fish were found, although quite fresh, with such an extraordinary extent of tumetaction that their eyes were started from their orbits, while their In- testines were swollen to the utmost extent by gares. he Presence of no poisonous agent, either mineral or could be ed by the tests applied. On them and the fish in lime water, an enormous quantity of carbonic acid gas wax evolved, and this agent is therefore concluded to have been the immediate cause of the extraordinary mortality, Asub-marine volcanic eruption is conjectured to have been the soarce from which it was furnished. This opi nion is offered on the authority of statements made by Baron Humboldt, in his Coemoa."? In 1821, it ia said, & similar phenomenon oceurred in the Mediterrancan, wien the shores of Corfu, Cephalonia, and Albani were infected by it, There and in adjacent provinces it caused a very destructive typhoid epidemic. At latest accounts, the quantity being thrown ashore at Vera Craz Lad materially diminished. ‘The vovernment have consented to the application of Mr. Wm.

The second article provides that they shall mutaally send representatives to their gov- ecnmments., The third provides that the armed forces of one power shall not trespass on the territories of the other, except by previous consent. The fourth pro- vides that deserters from the armies of the contractin, powers ball be mutually restored on being elatmed; and the fifth provides for the mutnal surrender of fugitive criminals. The sixth provides that neither government shall allow political refugees from its ueighbor to take asylum underits jurisdiction, or to be accorded means of annoyance or injury against the country from which they may have fled. By the seveuth article, citizens of the two States are to be allowed free commercial inter- course under the laws provided for the government of each of them, without any distinction of nationality: and the commercial treaty between the two countries of the 5th of March, 1847, is declared in full force.

To that. trade St, Louis is indebted for her growth and prosperity. She bas been frequently waraed, however, that her policy in reference to this couatry would eventual, send it elaewbere; but the warnings were unheeded; sbe remained firm in doing nothing, and to-day her rival, Cricago, from whom ste has most to foar, is in possession of what St. Louis ought long ago to have esoured forever. Much of the resuit is due to tbe natural advantages of position claimed by Chicago, and the tendency of trade and travel from the West, Eastward, bat more to the unaccountable eupicess of the St. Louia merchants, who, with this change all the while staring them full in the face, have not lifted a fiager to ward off the blow.

The brokers appear to be all lost amidst the crust of faucies. As for any immediate improvement of consequence, it is entirely out of the question, The public mind is mot prepared fur anything of the kind, aud in the event of a relief to the money market we much doubt if prices for stocks would atoncendvaace. The existing state of things is entirely against any such results, and the proper course for alists, and others haying means, to puryne under @ circumstances, is to invest in the most | deprecisted securities on the market possessing ordinary resources, and patiently wa ip the tide, There ma: ng edd, much Longe is now anticipated, but the “cetura curreat sooner or later tae place, and those who are aftoat wil! he the first to reach port. The time Las passed for the exercise of proper judgment ia keeping out of difficulties, for we are in the midat of them, up to our very eyes; but it fg the proper time to look about and sec what reme ies can bo applicd to the disease before it becomes epi- demic iu its character, For more than two years we Lave urged upon the community more care and caution in their financial aad commercial speculations. We have pointed out the cesult of the extravagance and specwia tion which bad 80 absorbed every class; we havo shown, time and again, that there could be but one effect of ao much expansion in public and private credit, and did overything in our power toprevent the recurrence of such acenes asa gonéralrevulsion produces. We have at al times adopted a conservative course, and applied checks whoro it was possible upon the rapid advancement of @alerprived whore Chore Was a04 Auiiicions basa Cor per. must opera company, | ke, Lester, | Prougham, Miss Rosa Bennett, Mrs. Hoey, and other ar- | recker’s | finished Pic- | fident the Garden must pros- | No one tion, we placed every obstacie in ite progress, knowing that the propensities of our people were tpo much in fa- vor of blind, reckless, desperate projects, rather than those of a more legitimate, reasonable, steady, permanent character; but nothing we could do was of sufficient force or influence to prevent a collapse in the financial world, | We did not expect to be successful in so doing, but we | hoped it might be mitigated, and its disastrous effects | lessened, and the probability is that our anticipations will be realized. Since it became evident that the revulsion was upon | us—that the collapse had commenced—it became our duty to limit its effects, and, if possible, prevent one of those | convulsions which have occasionally swept over the | country and prostrated for years every interest, and nearly annihilated our resources, When everything was inflated, and all were apparently in the enjoyment of the greatest prosperity, it was well enough to sound the alarm; but now that all are in trouble, aurrounded with embarrassments and difficulties, it is necessary that | something should be done to arrest the panic, and, if possible, prevent a total destruction of confidence. We have a very sick man to take care of, and we must apply the proper remedies. The patient is reduced to a very low stage of debility, and requires restoratives. From a dangerous plethora, he has been reduced almost to helplessness, and must have good care. It is not the time now to show how he became so sick, and to scold him for his dissipations, extravagances, and high living, but to bring about a healthy action again, and then talk to him seriously about the future. ‘The present state of financial affairs may be much im- proved by the public mind avoiding all undue excite- ment and keeping free from panics. The failures at the West are the result of a most rapid increase of banks and inflation of paper currency. It was carried to an extent far beyond the wants of the community iu an incredibly short space of time. It fortunately had not been carried on long enough to have involved the people in many wild schemes of speculation, and the has therefore been confined in its effects to jes directly interested. Another and a better currency will supply the place of that forcibly withdrawn, and a short time suflice to reinstate confidence, and remove the diffi- culties experienced. The passage of an act in several | States, within the past few years, prohibiting the issue | and circulation of small bills, has 50 improved the cur- | rency of those States that we have no fear of trouble among those banks, and we hope the result of the bank- | ing operations in Indiana and Illinois will induce the | Legislatures of those States to adopt similar laws rela- | tive to the issue and circulation of small bank notes. The application of such a remedy would be immediate | in its favorable influences. From thé report of the president and directors of the Wilmington and Raleigh Railroad Company, we learn that the gross receipts for the past year have been $482,880 62; expenditures, $201,220 73; net profits, $191,559 89; from which deduct interest and exchange, $63,697 12, and there is left as net profits to stockhold- ers, $127,962 77. The liabilities of the company on the Ast of October wore $1,052,070 47. ‘The entire receipts of the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad Company for the year ending 20th September, 1854, have been $238,410 21. The entire expenditures on all ac- counts, including dividend, were $159,701 97—leaving + $78,708 24. The receipts from freight, passengers and mail were $173,923 77, and the current expenses $70,530 96, showing a profit on the year’s business of $103,502 81, or over 1034 per cent. A correspondent of the Boston Post, writing from Pa: Brazil, under date of September 17, says :— The American commerce of Para will this year reach about five millions of dollars, or one-third of the whole commerce of Para, and of this great valley. This com- merce consists, too, in one article, whose demand is every | day rapidly increasing; so much 80, that instead of five millions, it must very soon be twenty millions. Nor isit a less interesting fact that four-fifths of all thejrubber Ftc here fs manufactured in the United States, and that the whole increase of ita trade, ed, will yield a vast wealth to hundreds e: 4 in the manufacture and sale of these rubber is in the United States.

Wth the suspension of these works must come a still greater sweepi depreciation of the Virginia State stocks in question. That in turn can hardly fail te cause an immediate rnn on all the stock secured banks of the State. We do not know how many of them are able to redeem all their issues on the instant without relying on their hypothecated stock. Such arunom these banks must react on the old banks of the State quite as disastrously.
