a OUR INTERSTATE TROUBLES. ‘The Second Seizure of New York Vessels im Savannah, better of Governor Morgan te One of the Owners, oo, &e oe. Our readers will recollect that on the 9th of February ‘the citizens of New ,York were startled by the news ‘that came from Savannah, of the seizure of five New ‘Work vessels by the authorities there, in consequence of the detention |here of a number of cases containing ayms that had been properly shipped and consigned to a ebizen of that State. The vessels, however, were short- jy released, on aceount of the arms having been given vp to their rightful owners, and it was generally sup- posed that the whole thing would end there, and the pablic dismissed it from their minds. But it “ a bas proved otherwise, and yesterday we had ‘@yain to record the seizure of New York vessels by the order of Governor Brown, of Georgia, owing ‘Wadetention here of a portion of the arms before refer- red to. There are ten cases which Superintendent Ken- nody refuses to give up until the legality of the seizure shall have been determined by the proper tribunals. Mais roused the ire of the Georgians, and they again showed their spirit of retaliation by holding three ves- sels belonging to this city as a surety for the safe return ef. their property, which they contend has beep taken {mem them withou' any just cause or reason. "He vessels seized this time are the— Ship Martha J. Ward. Bark Adjuster. Bark Harold. ‘Nhe Martha J. Ward is under the command of Chase; she was built in 1847 at Newcastle, Maine, is 748 tons burthen, and is ewned by Messrs. J. EF, Ward & Oo., of this city. These gentlemen ‘had, up to a late hour yesterday, received no despatch of the seizure of their vessel. "Whe bark Adjuster is the same one that was before in he hands of the authorities of Georgia. She is 496 tons Warthen, was built in 1853 at Freeport, Maine, ia com- manded by Captain Snell, and is owned by Mossre. Funch & Meincke, of this city. These gentlemen received a de- wpatch of the seizure of the Adjuster, and at once tele- gmephed to the President, at Washington, apprising him @f We circumstance, and informing him that they looked te him for the proper and necessary protection. This, of eourse, was all they could do. ‘Mere is either some mistake about the Harold having Deen seized, or else the Governor of Georgia has been guilty of a great outrage. There is no American vessel ‘ef that name, but there is a bark Harold that is owned in Sunderland, England, and which was in the port of Sa- wannab a few days ago. If the Georgians have seized her they may find that they have gone a little too far. It ts, however, most probably a mistake, and the vessel gelzed may be the Julia A. Hallock, one of those that was ‘befere held. @ne of our reporters visited Mr. Lamar, the President @f the Bank of the Republic, yesterday, but that gentle- man had received no news of the seizure beyend what ‘was contained in the morning papers, and in reply toa question stated that he did not intend to move in the matter, as he had no authority to do so. ‘He then went to the office of the General Superintend- eat of Police, in order to hear what action he would take jw the matter, but he was out of town. The Police Com- misejoners should have met yesterday, but not having a qoerum were unable to do so, Had they met, eomething might have been done, but as it is things remain per- featly stationary. Our reporter also visited Governor Morgan, who has ‘been in this city for the last few days. The Governor had hhad no interview with any of the authorities of this city relative to this second seizure of veseels at Savannab, amd had given no orders touching the retaining or delivery of the arms in question. He denied that any arms had ever been seized by hie orders, and was of the impression that the whole thing originated in the late sharge of Judge Smalley to the Grand Jury The following letter, written by Governor Morgan to Messrs. Fanch & Meincke, the owners of the bark Ad juster, at the time of the first seizure, will show the Governor’s opinion, and as the second seizure is precizely the same as the it is equally applicable:— State or New Yous, Execoniys Dmrarnvevr, | AUNANY, Feb. 9, 1861.) Genrumex—I received this morning a telegraphic des. patch from you, stating ‘hat your “bark Adjuster bad born sewed in Savannah by order of the government of Georgia, on account of arms detained in New York,’ and ask ug to be informed “how to proceed under the circum: ftances, in order to nvoid loss and deten:ion.”” 1 at agce replies that T would write you by mail. In auswer to your inquiry 1 can only #ay that your remedy is through the United States cours, or, if you so elect, through the eourts of the State of Georgia, within whose limits the ‘efence of which you complain is stated to have been committed. In a case of this kind the Executive av thority of New York can render you no assistauce, for the ebvious reason that no law of this State has been in fringed; and because the wrong was not perpetrated ‘within its jurisdiction. If, a8 you state, officials or citi- gens of Georgia have detained your vessel as a mea. sure of retaliation for the alleged seizure of certain arms by the officers of the police of New York, the tribunals of that State, or of the United States, it must be presumed, ‘wAl determine the act as entirely unjustifiable, and wilh afford you ample redress for any loss by detention or ‘etherwise which you may suffer. If vesse! is de layed for any other reason than the one suspected b: you, it is but fair to aasume that the courts of Savanm will examine into the fac’ with that impartiality which should characterize ali judicial proceedings. b proper to add that if the detention of the Adjust deliberate act of the constituted authorities of Georgia, it ie equally unjustifiable, and there can be no doubt that, at no distant day, the federal authorities will obtain full reparation for you for any damages you may sustain; if not, then the general government itself, which owes you protection in return for your allegiance, is thereby under the fullest obligation to indemnify you. Very respect- Sally yours. BF. D. MORGAN, ‘Mesers. Frxcn & Mutvcxe, No. 41 Beaver street, York. THE VIRGINIA STATE CONVENTION. Rucumonp, Feb. 23, 1861. ‘Woo Virginia State Convention re-assembled to-day. A large portion of the cession was occupied in personal ex planations by the delegates. ‘The resolution heretofore tabled for raising a committee to inquire whether any movement of arme or men has been made by the government to any fort or arsenal in ot bordering upon Virginia indicating preparations to attack or coercion was adopted. The Union men seem satisfied that the investigation will prove that there is no cause of apprebeusion on the subject Mr. Barbour, Superintendent at Harpers’ Ferry, was among its advocates. Others argued that the apprehen- shone were well grounded, and that the facts should be known that Virginia might be prepared. Mr. Fisher offered a resolution opposing Convention, and declaring that the people of might reaeouably apprehend that such a body would re organize the judiciary system, and make the Judges of th Supreme Court elective by the whole peuple af the Union as Mr. Seward declared National he South his party would o ae goon as they acquired (be power and that such a body would make other ‘nnovations upon the recognized rights of the minority section A large number of resolutions on naticnal soy also referred.

The subject of direct trade between Europe and the Southern States, which has been 80 freely scouted by Northern republicaus as an impracticable measare for various alleged reasons, is thought otherwise by the peo- ple of the South. Thé first step towards testing the practicability of the much desired measure on an extend- ed scaic is about being inaugurated by the Belgium and Savauuab Steam Navigation Compaby, an organization which wae recently chartered by the Legislature of Geor- gia. The State has obligated itself’ to pay a bonus of one hundred thousand dollars per annum for tive years to the certain contingencies. This effort of Georgia will suiject the theory toa fair practical test. Ry thefoilowing advertisement, copied from a Georgia paper, it will be inferred that the first importation of goods ang wares, under the new charter above referred to, has already been made:— HUE BELGIAN-AMPRICAN DIRECT TRADE COMPANY Willsell their goods, imported by the bark Henry, from Antwerp e, in Macon, The sale 10 comineace ry) ‘oend on the 9th of February, at the warehouse ot F, joom, on Third streets After that, by juest of his Excellency, nor Brown, and ‘the | Honorable Legislature of the State of Georgia, there will be | an auction sale of the goods on the 20h of February, Goods for this sale ready for inspection the two days pre- | vious List oF Goops. | Liven Goons.—Towela, Napkins, Handkerchie' | Sheetings, nubleached, all kinds. —Prints, gingbam vets, blankets ths, flann Is, reps, barege, shawls, garments, blankets, patent velvet ‘birtings, cambric, quilts, sheet- ssels Carpets, rugs. —Marbie mantles, tables, india rubber goods, y, thread, harniss, carriage, ch colate, silk drapery, cation Ince, Brussels laces, matches, hardware, rail Raper, Peper hangings, pasrrere, porce land iro, ear henware, clay pipes, segars, ns, brushes, mata, leather manufactured articles, aid tables, looking glasses, wines and liquors, nery, playing cards, paints, off and dry, or further riiculars ly to G.

This is simply the preamble offered by the committee, with the government sanction of the Convention added. ‘This created much excitemant and discussion. The op- position members, acting, it is generally supposed, in full accordance with the Governor's views, made every effort ingenuity could devise to defeat legislative endorsement of the Gonvention. They labored hard to provo the Governor's assertion that the call for the Convention was irregular and revolutionary; that a body thus elected could not represent the people; that a majority of the legal votes of the State had not been cast; that it would ve in violation of their oaths to support the State and federal constitutions, and to allow such a body to con- vene in the State Capitol. It was all in vain. ‘The main question came up; the vote was taken, and Mr. Buckley’s substitute was adopted by 65 yeas to 13 nayé—the vote for suspension of rule being carried by 58 yeas to 15 nays. x ‘The reagons urged for the adoption of Mr. Buckley's substitute are that the Legislature should not attempt in any way to transmit, or even instruct or advise our ‘Con- vention in regard to its action, but should simply recog- ise the Convention ag a constitutional body, fully repre- senting the sovereignty of the people of ‘Texas. I think the substitute will pass the Senate nearly unani- mously. There were but fow in that body 0) at first to decisive action by the State; but T think, judg by the unanimous vote on the Coercion bill, that most them now see the utter uselessness of any further oppo- eition. The House will, on Monday, 28th inst , take up the re- solutions for frontier protection. ‘There are now im the city about one hundred of the delegates to the Convention, There will be about one hundred and fifty when ail are present. They are coming in constantly. ‘There will be, I understand, about fifteen to twenty ‘‘submissionists,’” or rather ‘‘co-operationiats,”” im the Convention. I am disposed to cat! them ‘“gubmis- sioniats,” for most of them declare—and 1 believe honest- that they are in favor of some mode of resistance ugh they do not like the mode that has been adopted by the other Gulf States.

The San Antoni er of the 224 is informed that Gov. douston has sent an express to Gen. Twiggs to announce that Col. John R. Baylor contemplates a descent on San Antonio, with a force of 1.000 men, for the purpose of eeizing the arsenal and other public property. The La Grange True Issue, on the other hand, has news from Gonzales that a regiment of men has moved upon San Antouio for Lhe purpose above set forth. We learn, by private letter from San Antonio, that Gen, Twiggs has called in additional Unived States troops tw protect the federal arsenal and stores there; but that he has expressed his wilingness to surrender the pro- perty to the care of the State, when a proper official de- mand shal! be made on him by the Texas authorities. ‘The K—s. G. ©. at otiered the General their ser- viges to mid in protecting the arsenal. The General has officially notified the War Department Gast his sword shall never be drawn against an American citizen. WEALTH OF TEXAS. The statistics of all the counties of the State, as shown yy the returns of the asseasors and collectors, give the following aggregate property of the State, with its as- 3 valuation and the ad valorem tax at 1234 cents per 40,945,185 aeres of land Town lets...

The increase in the total value of property during the past year has been over $67,400,- 000; or abont sixty-eoven and a half muliions of dollars, exciuaive of $3,500,000 at interest, and this added would make the increase about seventy-one millions, or over thirty per cent increase in one year LATEST FROM PENSACOLA. We have news by mail from Pensacola of the 13th, from which we learn that the armistice between the federal government and the State authorities at Pensacola was concluded by the Hon. 8. R. Mallory, Inte United States senator, on the side of the State, abd Capt. Samuel Bar- ron, of the United States Navy, on the part of the federal pow The terms are, substantially, that Fort Pickens shall not be reinforced; no United States war veesel shall enter the harbor; the Brooklyn to be allowed off the harbor; no attack to be made by the State the fort. These are the terms in brief. boen prescribed to the trace, and we pro- 0 it ca be broken by either side at pleasure, after due notice. The commander of one of the Mnited States war ves- sels had gent a peremptory order to Col. Lomax to stop throwing up bis earthworks. Col. Lomax is a spirited man, and would not be iil to obey such behests if he was prepared to maintain his position. The State de- Fences were in rapid progrees of completion. When per- tected they are deemed quite formidabie. THE POPULAR VOTEIN LOUISIANA AGAINST SHCESSION. The New Orleans Irue Della of tie 6th, ut response to ‘a correspondent who requested to be informed of the ag- gregate popular vote cast at the recent eleotion for dele- gates to the Convention, and whether the majority wag for of against ‘co-operation,’ saya:—Che popular yote of the State in the late election, 80 far as we could learn, hag not been published.

Personal Int DON JOAQUIN FRANCISCO PACHECO, RX-MINISTER PLENIPOTENTIARY FROM HER CATHOLIC MAJESTY TO MEXICO. ‘This gentleman, who has just arrived in our city on board the Spanish war steamer Velasco, returns from Mexico, where he went last fall as Ambassa- dor and Minister Plenipotentiary from the Court of Spain. In consequence of the active interest he took in Miramon’s success, aiding him in every way pos- sible, one of the first acts of President Juarez, after his arrival at the capital on the 11th of last month, was to’ send Senor Pacheco his passports, thus, in fact, dismiss- jng him from the country. Don Francisco Pacheco is one of the most illustrious men of Spain. At the time of *his appointment to the Mexican mission the following letter, written from Ma- drid, appeared in a French paper:— Ee tech igmgereige i ye ono densa gered ip wublic career, a8 most men of talent are apt to do in Spain, with the publication of a volume of poems, Which are much esteemed. One of the very few exceptions to this remark concerning the public men of Spain is Nocedal, who not long since was Prime Minister, and who, besides being one of the most laborious and active administrators of public affairs, proved himself one of the most ugprincipled and corrupt, but is wholly in- nocent of poetry. Pacheco is the author ofseveral dramas: and various works of a more solid character, such as a “History of the National Cortes of 1837,” of which he was a member, and “Lectures on Penal Law.’ he was Prime Minister. At a later period he was em- ployed on a brief mission to the English Oourt. In politics Pacheco is a constitutionalist, a member of tho liberal conservative party—for in Spain parties have as many shades as thore are colors in a prism. He is esteemed in Spain as one of the wisest and most en- ened of her public men. He is most ly on nis return to Europe, and will not, in all Ukelihood, remain any great length of time in our metropolis. Senor Pacheco arrived at Vera Cruzon board the Span- ish frigate Berenguela, on the 28d of May, 1860, wi he was treated by the authorities withthe greatest courte- sy. He there met and converged with Minister McLane, and in the interchange of views, 1t is said, there was con- siderable y of sentiment, from which the best ro- were augure way to the capital, which be Feached about the first of June-he was escorted to lines of the clergy forces by a hundred men of the liberal army, for that duty. shortly after his arrival in the city of Mexico, he addressed w resident Juarez in regard to certain Spanish ims, which was rm ded af plain indication of his intention of ‘denti- ig himself wi © clergy party, a course of action ha pursued during his stay in the republic.
