MEXICO.
The following Declaration of Independence of the
proposed Republic of the Sierra Mudre appears
to have been originally written in English, from
which it was translated by the N. O. Putria. It has
now undergone u second translation.
Unanimous declaration of the Seven Northern
States of lite Sierra Modre of Mexico :
When, in the course of human events, it becomes
necessary for one people to dissolve the political
bonds which have connected them with another,
and to assume among the powers of the earth the
separate and equal station to which the laws of nature
and of nature's God entitle them,a decent respect
to the opinions of mankind requires that they should
declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
The history of the present and past governments
of Mexico is a history of repeated injuries
and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment
of an absolute tyranny over these
Slates. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a
candid world.
Fit it-?They have harrassed us with political
changes, which, up to.the present time, have been
nothing else but a continued oppression through
new ugents (tnanos.) We declare ourselves free.
Second.?They have ground us down by taxation,
exacted solely to perpetuate the power of the
usurpers of the liberty of the people. We declare
ourselves free.
Third.?They have persecuted us with standing
armies, kept up to oppress and annihilate the industry
of all, except that of our oppressors. We
declare ourselves free.
Fourth.?They have acted so that our beloved
religion, constantly threatened by bayonets, has
been trammelled in its action of benevolence and
public instruction. We declare ourselves free.
Ftfth.?They have so managed that the people
in the midst of their vast territory arc denied the
right of individual property. We declare ourselves
free.
Sixth.?They have violated the promises made
to our children, who, in anxiety, vainly claim from
their rulers the right of education. We declare
ourselves free.
Seventh.?They have ho misgoverned, that our
gray-headed parents gradually descend to the tomb,
like brute bemits, without honor und without hope.
We declare ourselves free.
Eighth.?They have so arranged that whilst indigence
und misery are seen every where, they go
clad in purple and gold. We declare ourselves
free.
Ninth.?They have adhered to the national declaration
that there shall be no slavery on the soil
whilst domestic servitude is an odious, a horrible
and a cruel system, and it exists without notice
and without reprobation. We declare ourselves
free.
We, therefore, the public of these seven Northern
States of the Sierra Madre of Mexico, appealing
to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude
of our intentions, solemnly publish and declare that
"these United States are free and independent;'1 that
they are absolved from all allegiance to the Mexican
Government, and that all connexion which has
ceased, is, and ought to be, totally dissolved. Con
seauently, as free and independent States, they have
full power to levy war, contract alliances, establish
commerce, and to do ail other acts and things which
free and independent Stales may of right do. And
for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance
on Divine Providence, we, the people, mutually
pledg? to ?*ch oilier our lives, our fortunes, and
our sacred honor.
Our sword* are drawn! The scabbards are
thrown away!
Now, then, death to tyrants!
Matamoros, Mexico, June 16, 1849.
The movement just now is significant, especially
as it does away with all idea of Mexican interference
with California.
The boundaries of the contemplated Republic of
Sierra Madre are the Rio Grande on the North, the
Sierra Madre chain of mountains on the west ami
south, and the Gulf of Mexico on the east, including
the port of Tampico; in all, by far the
most valuable territory of its size in Mexico.
It will take in the States of Tamaulipaa, and portions
of Coahuila, San Luis, Zacatecaa, New
Leon, and Chihuahua and Durango, embracing an
extent of 950,000 square miles, or six times the size
of Cuba, and a population of nearly one and a half
millions. The city of San Luis is intended for the
capital of the Republic.

The Theatre Royal, Liverpool, which has lieen
much beautified by the new lessee, Mr. Copeland,

and Mrs. Glover, are acting in comedy at the HayMarket.

The bills of the Adclphi Theatre contained the
mysterious announcement that " a most unwarrantable
intrusion would be committed by Mr. Wright
to the annoyance of Mr. Paul Bedford." This I
statement was, in fact, the title of a farce, in which
Mr. Bedford acts a portly old gentleman, determined
to have a day of quiet and enjoyment to himself,
and Mr. Wright appears as an intruder, who inter- (
rupta his breakfast arrangements, tells a quantity |
of stuff he does not want to hear, and by seeming (
accident breaks divers articles of furniture.
Darav Lane Theatre.?At the dinner of the
Drury Lane Theatrical Fund, given on the 11th at (
the Freemason's Tavern, London, the Ihikr of (
Beaufort, who presided, gave: " The Drury Lane
Theatre and the legitimate drama, and success to j
Mr. Anderson, the new lessee;" to which Mr. An- (
demon responded. Mr. Stammers has since writ- ,
ten to the papers, denying that Mr. Andeison is ^
the man, but tnat ht (Mr. Stammers) has taken the
theatre, and will open it for operas next Christ- (1
mas. Under these circumstances wc arc inclined f(
to sing with Wilhelmina, "Which, which is the i
man?"

Law or International Copyright.?In the
court of exchequer, on Tuesday, Chief Baron Pollock
pronounced judgment in the case of Boosey v.
TV,? nluinlilfk?l tnlren frnm one Rirnrrii I
an assignment of the opera of Sonnambula, which
the composer Bellini had assigned to Ricordi. The
defendant afterwards published some of the airs
out of it in London. The main question was, whether
the plaintiff acquired any copyright, having a
title by assignment from a foreigner. The court
held that he did not. The intention of the statute
was not to protect foreigners. They, therefore,
had no copyright in this country; ana, of course,
could not assign what they had not. The learned
judge intimated that the decision was at variance
with others, and that the question would probably
be brought before the House of Lords.
Constabulary in Ireland.?A return, presented
pursuant to the act 6th William IV.,cap. 13,shows
that the total number of county inspectors of constabulary
employed in Irelana on the 1st day of
January, 1849, amounted to 35, the number of
sub-inspectors to 247, the number of head constables
to 332, the number of constables to 1,714, the
number of "acting" constables to 381, and the
number of deputy constables to 9,503; making a
total of all ranks of 12,212. The number of horses
was 344. The total expenditure for the maintenance
of this force amounted to 562,5061. for the
year ended the 31st of December, 1848, of which
the proportion borne on the consolidated fund was
525,3861., and the amount borne by counties, cities,
and towns, 37,1201.
The present Charge of the United Stales to Chili,
a correspondent of the Savannah Republican says,
is about to return on account of private difficulties
of a personal nature:
It seeins that Mr. Barton married a Catholic lady
in Chili. The Archbishop took it upon himself to
inform the lady that she was not living; in lawful
wedlock, because she was not married according to
the rites of the Catholic church, the marriage having
been solemnized by the chaplain of one of our
u)en-of-war. Mr. Barton complained of this impertinence
to the Chilian Government, and persisted
that proceedings be instituted against the Archbishop.
They replied that they had nothing to do
with the matter. On account of this misunderstanding,
Mr. Barton will soon return.
The Tides in the German Ocean.?A striking example
occurs to us of the happy connexion of
theory with observation, in the prediction that there '
must exist a spot in the German Ocean?the central
point of an area of rotation, produced by the
meeting and mutual action of two opposite tides?
where no rise or fall of the tide whatever could occur,
a prediction actually verified by Capt. Hewett
in 1839, without any prior knowledge that such a
point had been supposed to exist. This is one
among (he many triumphs of like kind achieved by
modern science.?Jhtizan.
Annexation or Canada.?The Montreal Herald,
of Friday, concludes a long article on this subject
with the expression of its belief " that Great Britain
will not oppose annexation "
It is said that the Queen has written a letter to
Sir Robert Peel, congratulating him on the successful
debxil of his son. The old gentleman and the
young one kept the secret, but mamma, with natural
pride, let it out.
Garibaldi, the Roman commander, is described
as a most picturesque warrior, the ideal of a brigand?eminently
handsome, with a red blouse,
broad belt full of pistols, wide-brimmed hat, and
green feathers.
The suspension bridge at Pesth, it is said, has
been destroyed by the Austrians, in order to cover
their retreat before the Hungarians; the bridge of
boats is also said to have been burnt for the same ?
purpose.
During the last twelve months there have been
seized, at Manchester, 22,000 lbs. weight of unsound

otherwise sold to the public for food.
According to letters from Cyprus, dated on the

Four United States soldiers were brought before
the court yesterday morning on a petition of Dr. j
Porter, of the U. S. Army, alleging their insanity,
and praying that they be sent to the Lunatic Asylum
at Jackson, La. Two of the soldiers were, on
evidence adduced, ordered by the court to be sent
to the Asylum at Jackson, and the other two (lis
charged. |
One of the lunatica represented himaelf to be the I
*on of Gen. Geo. Waahington, and reprimanded I
the court aeverely, in high sounding words, and in I
no unmeaaured terms, for its interference in the 1
case. He was immediately taken care of by the t
sheriff?.V. 0. Picayune, June '26. (
