ee ee AFFAIRS IN MEXICO. @ur Matamoros, Mazatlan, Guaymas and Brewnsville Correspondence, Outrag s Treatment ef Ameri- cam Vessels, VIDAURRI’S Seauweune.) Rees Bey ae Our Matamoros Correspondence. Mazamonos, Mexico, June 27, 1840, The Revolution in Coahuila and Nuevo Leon— Legislation in the Woods— Vidaurri ana Bis Frienis—The McLane Treaty, &c., fe. On Aecount of a difference of opinion between Governor ‘Vidaurri and the Congress of the State of Nuevo Leon, on the subject of investing Vidaurri with extraordinary powers, the latter attempted to arrest and imprison the Legislature, when that body fied tothe mountains and wated the flag of rebellion against the Governor of the State. The fugitive Legislature nominated and clected enor Aranberri ag the Governor of Coahuila and Nuevo Leon, anxiously awaiting the turn of affairs, prominent polit!- @iane of Tamaulipas say that when Coahuila and Nuevo Reon have sufficiently prostrated themselves by their @truggles in favor of and against Vidsarri, it will then ‘ee time to take the matter in band and annex that Stat ‘w Tamaulipas. From this combination of wars, it is impossible that any. ‘Amterest in the country can fail to suffer; and that philan- Whropists anywhere should oppose foreign iaterveation to allay those difficulties cannot be reconciled with huma- misty or common sense any more than would be the denial to interfere with a number of unfortunate drunken men ‘who were belaboring each other in the public streets. @oahuila and Nuevo Leon are rather singularly situated © jyast now for it has complicated the number of quarrels in fhe State in a moet singular manner. It seems that Gov. Vidaurr) wrote an advisory letter to the Juarez govern- ment, suggesting certain reforms in the army and in the State, which were, that national military sebools be es- Tablished all through the republic at once for the purpose of iustructing the youth in the profession of arms. Schools were not to be of the highest order, but simpl Rorma! inetitutions, adapted to turning out tolerably wel fwforme drill officers, to mect the present emergency. He also recommended that wherever @ military encamp: ment was formed, no matter what its force might be, the nate—another abuse of the Preaiient by that party—tells | ‘with fearful havoc upon the rights and interests of Ame- rieans residing ‘n foreign countries. The effect of Mr. Buchanan's vain appeals to Congress for power to protect his countrymen is already manifested in the recent sei- zure and condemnation of an American vessel in this port, and the unwarrantable interforence of the authorities in ! the affairs of American vessels and American interests generally—and this, too, by a party which has beea Placed in its present position of power by the people it is now oppressing. But ‘nigger will be nigger.”” In wy last letter you may remember that I alluded to the seizure of a quantity of merchandise from the American bark Naramissic, for an alleged infringement of the revenue laws. This was during the régimé of Gov. Vega, who, even though it was found that the captain ‘was culpable and deserved pun: ws still desirous of quakghing the proceedings and ig the seized goods. The intemperance and abusive conduct of the master, however, justified the Governor in withhold) the exercise of his clemency, and the matter was accord- ingly submitted to the judicial tribunal, whero it was ‘allowed to sleep until the departure of Gov. ega—the bark, in the meantime, having also departed on it business. The confiscation of the mer- chandive was the extreme penalty thought of. But what ‘was the surprise of all when a verdict was issued fag day pafosing the bark, everything belonging to her, al) the goods found on board, condemn ng the captain to one year's imprisonment and the cost of the suit, together with all charges of the court, Among other articles taken from the vessel, at the time of her seizure, was a small gafe, containing some money belonging to the ves- sel or to Messrs. Lent, Sherwood & Co., of San Francisco. ‘This was placed in the collector's office, awaiting the ad- Jjndication of the case. The Judge (?)'with the charac- Terietic cupidity of his profession (in Mexico), withoat waiting to present the bill of costs to veael’'s eon- signees, headed a posee of goldiers, entered the Custom House, broke open the safe and betped himself to the pry reese Fencnneiapnes gf ia renee Srienaaned at these arbitrary proceedings, sent orders to the not to return; but I'am told the’ Gonal, who believes the judges haye travelled out of all rules of law and common es to reach this verdict, has recommended the re- turn of Manly with his vessel. What the result will be itis now hard to . Had the Naramissic been an English vessel, the result, or rather the case, would be di for thero would have been no seizure: This is not all; another case, if possible of a more aggra- vated ', was brought to the notice of the Consul yesterday, and which has exciting much indignation foreigners. aide, formerly the American bark A. A. Eld- ridge, for some time under Mexican colors, and kaown by the former appellation, returned to this port last week wit! the American flag flying at her peak. Notbing was said of this until ehe was ready for saa, when the authorities in the most arbitrary manner, denuanded the payment of ‘a fine of $3,000 or the confiscation of the vessel. It seems, by the Yexican law, no Mexican vessel cap be sokl Wa fore: She is firet to be condemned by the Mexican Consul, if in a foreign port, or by the authorities ifin Mexico, but the can never be changed. This is the construction of the law, according to our present astute officers, under which construction they now claim juris diction, and threaten the confiscation of property wh. geldiers shoul be = to constant drill; that they should be taught to fire by evens, rte eave. @ mechavical aim im battle; and’ that they should be @rilied in the bayonet exercise, in to prepare them for ® haad to hand encounter. ’ He also suggested that re forms be instituted in the civil government to this ex- ‘wnt, that the officers should be forced to do the work they ed wo do, and that the judiciary shoul be forced to maniiest some sort of decency tn rendering Justice. Juarez at once proceeded to ulopt some of the sugges- tions, so far as Governor Vidaurri's own State was con- eerned, He sgpnte officer’ to regulate the affairs of @oahvila and Nuevo Leon, after a fashion recommended Governor Vidaurri, whereupon the latter revolted from. dose he had recommended, and refused to allow the government officers to exercise their functions. They ‘Were consequently forced to leave, and in doing so they met with that prince of old grannies, Gen. Degollado, at Tampico, when they laid their grievances before him. 4s commander in-chief of the army of the republic, he at according to the showing of the register and documents from the United States government offivers, belongs tona fide to American citizens. ‘'Thic occurred last night. The bark was to have left for San to-day. What the upshot of this will be lam unable tosay. The matter has been placed in the hands of the Coneal, who, I am informed, feels justly indignant at the conduct of these people. The commanders of our ves- sels of war dare not take any responsibilities, nor can the President of the United States assume the power to redress any wrongs, real or imaginary. This they fully understand, and never omit an op- to a= ail the debates and the gs of Congress which have any bearing upon t. Henee the ineolence and consequent failure of our ‘igh commercial relations. ‘These things never occur with an English vessel—we never hear of tl hough at this moment there are three Mexican vessels on the coast flying the English col- ‘once, with real Mexican impudence and effrontery, pro- ceeded to declare the entire State under martial law. ‘The Legislature of Coahuila and Nuevo Leon was called together immediately by Governor Vidaurri in extraor- dinary session, first, to determine who had been elected Governor in the election which had just closed, and se- @ondly, to consider what was to be dove in the condition affairs. The islature met, counted votes, and declared Vidaurri elected. It next proceeded to declare that the government of President Juarez had no right to it officers for the State, and that Gen, Dogol- had. no ht to fhterfere in a civil matter, fend subject_the State to martial law. This not satis- ing the members, they proceeded to declare they did not recognise any authority in the govern- ment of Vera Cruz to make treatics with foreign govera- ‘ments, and they most particularly denied all jae or va. Mdity to the McLane and Ocampo treaty. This left the Plate in a condition of revolution, and order to meet , Vidaurri suggested that &| the woods. ‘The Lagisiature understood its dutier, and all hands put for the mountains, to a small town called Itanque, e Uhey organized the Legislature anew, proceeded to Senor Aramberri as Goveruor in place of Vidaurri, declared the latter deposed. In fact they revolution- s position a rebel aguinat the govorament: Gut at position of a ret government, but a3 at war in itself as to how that rebellion should . You see, therefore, that fighting is chronic and that every difference of opinion ie Ore too well used to such mat- to iavest his ith plenary power t wuppress the “‘rascally lawyers wh gathered in the mountains.”” Juan Zuazua,a lean faced monte dealer, “up to snuff in all such mat- always prompt when the betting is low, jumped at , but declared that he must have some money to thing with—he could not march without a “strong .” Vidaurri instantly decreed a forced loan of $40,000, which he appointed Juan Zaazua to borrow, re- marking to bis faithful General at thm same time, “We bave friends, my friend, who are working to overthrow ; put a heavy band on them; borrow largely from our friends, Don Juan, and it will ali be right.’ Everybody hereabouts knows who these frienda arc, Vidaurri has declared himself that the foreign mor- chants were of such an amiable character that he wanted to see them al! driven out of the country. You may thero- fore calculate that Gen.

The removal of the Custom House to this place, by the Congress of the United States, is considered as a measure of great good to the place and of much importance to commerce.

Patchen, came off on the Fourth, over the Suffulk Park track, Phijadelphia, and regulted in the victory of the little bay mare over her opponent iu three straight heats. Our readers will doubt les remember that on ‘the last occasion when these two colebrated trotters were matched, on the Union Course, 1. 1, at two mile heats, George M. Patchen won. He had, however, been beaten by Flora the week previous over the same course, at one mile heata, 80 that the match between them stood even. The owner of the stallion firmly believed that he was able to beat the mare at any distance in his present form; and as the owners of the New Bugland stallion, Ethan Allen, durst not match their horse a third time against Patchen, after his two signal defoats by the latter, another match—or, more correctly, twe more maiches—were arranged between Flora Temple and George M. Patchen, to come off on the Suffolk Park, Philadelphia, for $500 a side each race. The @rst was at mile heate, best three in five, in harness, and was set down for the 8d inst, ‘The second was for a similar amount, at two mile heats and repeat, im harness, over the same course. Owing to the unfavorable weather on Tnesday, the 3d instant, the trot was postponed until the following day, and it accordingly came off'on the “Glorious Fourth,” thus heightening the interest felt in this important match. The morning broke fine and bright, and the sun poured down hie beams with fervent power. This, however, did not deter thousands from wending their way to the Suffolk Park, which is about seven miles distant from Philadel- phia. A very pleasant drive through a richly cultivated country, and by roads froe from the annoyances of dust— thanks to the previous rains—bronght us to the above course, The track is owe well adapted for making fast time, although there are one or two very abrupt turns in it, which might easily be remedied. It was in splendid condition, and we were not surprived that in some in- stances time was marked so low down as 2:21.

The matches in question are Now York ‘ys. Germantown Cricket Clubs, Eleven English players vs. Eighteen Americans, and Newark vs, Philadelphia. The first named match was played on Tuesday, and, a8 will be seen, terminated in a drawn game, it being a single day’s match. On Wednesday and Thursday, the Englishmen and Americans contended for victory, and Friday was set down for the Newark and Philadelphia match, On Tuesday worning, the New York and Ger- mantown Clubs met at Comac’s Woods, on the grounds of the Saint George's Club, at nine o’clock punctually, but in consequence of a heavy drizzling rain coming on just as they were about commencing, play was postponed until after dianer, by which time the rain had cleared of, and the weather bocame comparatively fine.

This match is regarded among the cricket- ing community as the most important event in the year, and invariably creates great intereet.

The People vs. Carroll.—in this case Judge Beech, of Island, summed up for the prisoner, contending that an alibi’had been proved, and Mr. Satgwick, Assiat- ant District Attorney, submitting that the offence had been clearly proved. Judge Gould, in charging the jury, said that \t was their duty to consider the facts and not the law, ant that it was not many hours since be had been by a juror ina certain case that coukt not agrea toa verdict be. cause the penalty was too great; the jurors had assumed tho authority of the Judge; and [f any juror had refased a verdict because he dia) of the punishment, he had boon gollty of the most ate perjury. tn that case he had charged the jury, as clearly as le could, to deal with the facts and not the law; bt they had arrogated to themselves to deal with the law, and any jury who did that was guilty of perjury, periary of whieh nnfortunately he could not be convicted, but none the leas absolute moral perjury. Hence he gaid this to the jury that they had no- thing to do with the penalty of the law; the Jary wereeim- ly to inquire whether the evidence proved this crime to bate been committed, and the accused to hays commit it. The jury retired, and not having agreed at the rising of the Court, the Judge directed that if they did notagree before ten ; they thould be locked up for the night.

On the examination before the Coroner, Downing proved an alibi, A motion was made in General Sessions to discharge him, on the ground that no indictmont was found ‘again ii, and subsequently he was indicted in ‘the Oyer and Terminer. A nition was now made by Mr. | Clinton to disel the prisoner, as he had not been brought to trial. District Attorney opposes the mo- tion, on the ground that Teacyck was arraigued for trial, and he therefore, the District At.

The affidavit of Downing sets forth that he is innocent, and has been always ready for trial, that his health is impaired, and further imprisonment will imperil his life. He therefore asks for a spoedy trial, or that he may be discharged.

Thomas, No. 25 St. Mark's place, was entered by burglars through the seuttic aud robbed of about $200 to $200 worth of wearing apparel. The burglary was eommitted at an carly bour in the evening, while the family were sitting in the parlors, The police, with their usual brightness and sagacity, wore unabie to find any clue to the burglars. Scarcely @ Dit clapses now that some half a dogea hones are aot entered by thieves, and the police rarely sucesed in ar- Treting the perpetrators, unless, perchance, they aect- dentally etumbie vpon them. One half of the burglaries commitied in this city are never made public, for the police carefully conceal the facts from the reporters, ex: copt in ench casee where an arrest ismade and tne offleer can haye ao opportunity of seeing bis name iu print. This eystom of secrosy is entirely wrong—the more light 700 bave upon such matters the better.

An examination of the store and the prisoner's person justified the policeman in his eon- clusion.

Ivty 6.—The people of the State of New York at the relation of Tayler & Brennan ws. the Mayor, he., of New York.—This was a motion to vacate judgments against the city. It was commenced before Judge Peckham some few weeks since under objection, as he had been partner of Attorney General Tremain. Judge Peckham hha» since returned the papers, and the case was taken up this morning by Judge !ugraham. The cay was consumed in reading docamentary evidence from printed books— the eame as that brought Vefore Judge Peckham—and some few additional afiidavits. The affidavit of Mr. McKeon, amongst otuer things, states: * That when he first came into the cause he was under the impression that the State had some claim to the land in question, but ag the case ‘was investignted he uecaime eatisfied iat the State had no ticle ; but from the commencement he always insisted that Paes & Srennee hat uo _ Vj wep met al. ways con that the of the i8sion~ ers of the Laud ‘Oltco, in relauon to We Wasi Market, were without authority of law jon Counsel (ex Judge Bronson), in one of hus letters to the Comptroller, eays:—One of the que ‘tions Ww, whether the three judgments =e Dare bee: re- covered against the in to the West Washington Market y ‘are in such a position that they car not be sul ‘ riewed, on appeal, at the in- revi ‘suuLce Of the Counsel to Corporation and the rights of the city [be] thereby protected.’?

Should a new trial be obtained in the last two actions, the Judgment in the principal ease will wudoubtedly be relied on Ly the claimants as an ad- Judication against the Corporation on the question of title. ‘Appeais are pending in the «cond and third suits.” But in addition to the difficulty already suggested, | think those cases were not tried in 4 manner to secure to tho Corporation the full benetit of a review.
