Edward Cavendy, will be the pioneer ship of the Califorpia, New York and European Steamship Company, which holds its charter from the Logisiature of California, and bas a capital of two moilliona of dollars, There ie @ peculiarity about the stock issued by this company which will not only attract attention by Ha noveity, but will tend to render ihe company popular with those who travel to and from Californis, The corporation has fir. teen years to run from 1858, and attached to each certifl cate representing a share of two handred and fifty dollars, are fifte:n coupons, one foreach year, running to 1872, which will entitle the holder to a passsge in one of the company’s ships at any time during the year which ssid coupon represents. In other words, one sharo of stock now purchased will entitle the buyer, or whoever holds the coupon, to passage to San Francisce on the steamship Hermsnn by presenting the coupon for 1858; in 1859 he is entitled to another passage, and a0 on. They still have snother feature. The company proposes to ex- tend their line to s European port,and the coupons wiil also entitle the holder to a passage across the Atlantic, or they will be received by the company in payment for freight to the amount of fifty dollars—that being the amount of money they represent—but always being good for a pas- ange, whatever the rates are. Thus twenty per cent., at least, on the money invested is secured and paid in ad- vanc?. Captain Henry Randall, who formerly commanded one of the ships of the opposition lines between here and Sin Pranciseo, is the agent of the compaay in this city. The steamship Wrshington will succeed the Hermaun and be despatched as soon as the necossary arrangemep:, When these two vessels get round in the Pacific, they will run regularly between San Francisco and San Juan del Sur, which is the principal Pacific port of Nicaragua. Both steamers will stop at that port on In short, the Nicaragua Transit route is to be immediately opened by Jo. White, and within a fow weeks a smal! steamer will leave this city for Greytown, Intended for the lake navigation. Immodiately succeeding her departure the route will be deciared open- ed, and @ vessel will be put up for passengers. It is under. stood that Mr. White has secured the steamers belonging to Samuel L. Mitchill’s Savannah line, which is com- posed of the Aabama, Fiorids and Augusta, all good thips. One of them will depart in time to connect with the Hermana, which stops at San Juan del Sur on her way up.

The San Carlos, which ig the most valuable boat on the lake, is ashore near La Virgin, and if abe remains long in this condition will be an entire Jona. It is said she can be got allost for $2,000, The long agony about the Nicaragua route seems now to be about over.

Thrown by the political storms of my country upon a foreign shore, far from the whirlwind of passions which agitate it, and entirely a stranger tothe struggles of parties which ruin it, I juége the moment arrived for expiaiaing to my fellow citizens and to the world at large what were the motives of my conduc: during my stormy administrations; whst was te political idea that always directed the acts of my government; and, finally, by what causes my ¢ forts for the peace and liberty of the Mexican republic were rendered (ruitioes. When in February of the present year I left Mexiso, 1 well knew that I left behind me the party spirit which was to persecute me with its calumnies, even in a forcign country; but I was dotermined then to be sileat, hoping that the public mind baving become catm witm time, and the epoch of ite agitation having passed, my voice would be heard with lees prejudice and my words beter under_ stood. T have maintained this resolution till now, notwithstand- tog that the attacks of my enemics have more than once urged me to break it. But perceiving that parion does not cease to persecute me, and that bad faiih and ealumpy continue with implacable tenacity launching against me their poisoned arrows, it becomes indispensa- ble for me to brork a silence which has not shielded me from upjust attacks, and which, besides, may be un- favorad'y interpreted. Oa the other hand, I believe that the period of my administration was fertile in wholesomo lessons for my country, and [ should no longer delay pointing them out to my fellow countrymen, the more 80 ‘as by fulfilling this auty I ain enadied, to the honor of my person and my principles, to answer triumphantly those who have taken pleasure in viliiy ing them. I might trust my defence to the contradictory sc- cusations of which I am the object, for I ocoaviaer them as the best justification of my policy, their authors being those who always caused the diegrace of my country. I might present myself before all parties covered with the anathemas of the factions taxed by one with being retrograde because I did not overthrow the social elements persecuted by the other as a demagogue becavee I bore in my hands the banner of liberty ; and I know that this would be sufficient for m- partiality and good faith to dome jastice, aad force the calumniators to a shameful silence. | might also acswer with silence the injustice of passion, If it was only a ques- tion of personal justidication; for in presence of the fexrful disasters of an entire people, the grief of any of its sons, whoever he may be, is of but little amount. But the question is not of that alone—i: is a question of ‘Vindicatlog ideas which have ia their favor the authority of hiatory, the lessons of experionce and the progress of centuries—of ideas which are the political dogma of the present generations which are to be the social condi.
