Important from Mexico.—The news received
by the ship Congress, from Vera Cruz to the
10th, and from the city of Mexico to the 3d,
tends to confirm the information received by
New Orleans. From the accounts, it appears
Santa Anna has proved hiraselfa mere factious
demagogue, having now leagued himself with
what may be called the High‘Church, or Church
and State party, opposed to liberal principles,
and the dissemination of education among the
people, whom they wish to keep in ignorance,
that they may be more blindly blind to their ma
chinations, and forever secure them in their
seats, where they will prey upon their best btood
with the voracity of a leech. This step, of San
ta Anna, from the extreme of liberalism to the
other extreme of despotism, after all his exer
tions, ardor, and even pursuit, for the extermi
nation of those who were opposed to popular
rights, gives us a right to question the objects of
all men, never mind how benevolent or good
their intentions.
The Mexican States are likely again to be
come the sceno of civil strife and bloodshed,
which will either forever banish freedom from
her land, or render it more sacred. A new ca
binet has .)een formed. Orders for the arrest of
the most distinguished patriots in Congress had
been issued. The convoy from Mexico to Ve
ra Cruz has beeu stopped, and the money with
drawn. Every thing now indicates a detenni
nation on the part of Santa Anna to play the
despot. Tampico has declared against him.
whilst Vera Cruz sustains him; so are some of
the states equally divided in opinion, prognosti
' eating a storm which, when it breaks, will prove
most disastrous in its consequences to both of
the contending parties.
The State of Puebla, on the 11th of May, re
volted against the general goveernment. The
general congress of Mexico, whose deliberations
ad been previously much disturbed by alter
cations between the ministers, concerning the
•deficit in the treasury, came to the resolution of
suspending their sittings during the existence of
the troubles in Puebla, for fear the scenes of
1829 might be re-enacted in the capital of Mex
; ico. On the 23d of May was the period for the
convocation of the chambers, but there was not
a sufficient number of deputies present to form
' a quorum.
The Bishop of Durango has resisted the law
respecting curates, and fled to Zacatees.
The insurrection of Puebla is said to have
been excited by the deserters of Cannlizo. Some
of these cried out, from the parapets of the hou
ses, “Death to the civil authorities—death to the
congress—long live the king!”
The supreme government of Mexico, in con-'
sequence of the revolt of Puebla, despatched
thither the colonel Gonsulez Pavon, with 300 ca
valry and 150 infantry.
The congress suspended its session by proc
lamation of Santa Anna, the President, May 15.
Vera Cruz, Jalapa, Orizba, and Cordova,
have declared as well as Puebla against any
reform or interference with the church.
The state of Oujaca, after a slight skirmish,
in which the apostolic party were succssfu), de
clared itself free, and in convocation of the peo
ple, issued a decree prohibiting any other than
the Catholic religion, signed by Ramon Rami
rez de Aguilar, governor. They profess allegi
ance, however, to the federal government and
to Santa Anna.
A long list oj persons who were expelled irom
Oajaca by the insurrectionary government, ap
peal to Gen. St Anna for relief. They state
that the gieatest enormities were committed by
the successful party—old men imprisoned, inno
cent children murdered, <kc.
Huajuassam has adhered to the decree issued
by the government of Oajaca.
The Censor, a Vera Cruz paper, from a file
of which we derive apart of our intelligence,
and which paper is in the interest of Santa An
na, declares that he has been maliciously ca
lumniated as a tyrant. It is most probable, how
ever. that he is the secret instigator of the revo
lutionary movements which have taken place,
and that he is at heart devoted to the partisans
of an established church.—Xtw York Star.
Taste and Feeling.-We were amused yes
terday at seeing a negro woman leading out a
sort of fashionable gallopade in the sun bare
footed, over the hot and almost blistering pave
ment, with a splendid silk umbrella over head.
It is difficult to say which should be most ad
mired, her taste or her bravery, especially w hen
it is recollected that a negro's heel is a choice
part of the corporate system.—Mobile Adv.
More bribery by the V. S. Branch Bank.—
Two women were seen day before yesterday,
washing the marble door way of the bank in
Wall st. The matter has been investigated,
and it is reduced to a certainty that Mr. Biddle
ordered these women (who have Jackson Van
Buren men for husbands) to be employed for
this purpose, in order to secure 2 votes for the
whig ticket in November. Alns, what a cor
rupt age we live in!—X. Y. Star.
We see it stated in one of our late English pa
pers that a bet of ten guineas had been made
between two gardeners at Chelsea that one of
them would raise a salad, while a leg of mutton
was roasting, to be done in one hour and three
quarters. If this fellow should succeed in “ get
ting up” extemporaneous lettuce at this rate, his
fortune is made. We suppose he could make a
turnip in about a couple of hours, and would
not be more than a half day or so in bringing
to maturity one of those huge Connecticut
pumpkins, the vine of which once grew taster
than the messenger could ride, who had oeen
despatched to the “selectmen” for municipal
interference.—X. Y. Cour. f Enq.
The English papers state that a certain mem
ber of the bar, remarkable for his red face and
irritable temperament, goes by the appropriate
name of the “ red precipitate.” A better joke
than this however has been committed at the
expense of one of the gentlemen of the long robe
remarkable for his high stature at the same time
vacant countenance. He has been christened
i< Long Vacation.” Another in New Hamp
shire, whose complexion indicated a more ex
tensive practice at the bar of the Hotel than of
the Court, was said by Judge V. to be a very
deep red lawyer.
Fourth of July.—The preparations for cele
brating our national anniversary assume much
more of party division than is commendable.
The assumption of this position is alike attri
butable to both parties in many places. This is
much to be regretted. All ought to know and
| to feel that the whole people of the United States
I constitute one great political family, united in
the pursuit of one common object—the asser
tion and maintenance of political liberty and the
rule of equal laws. The individuals, however
numerous, that seek their private advantages,
in securing the control of public offices and the
use of the public treasure, in comparison with
the whole body of the community, ar£ few.—
Whilst it is deplored that party divisions
contribute almost the entire means with
which some office hunters elaborate their ob
jects, still it is a social duty to admit that ho
nesty of purpose is the object of all other de
scriptions of citizens. This admitted, all should
feel that all may be in error, and, that being
conceded, all should feel that a little of charita
ble and good feeling toward each other might,
by softening asperities, conciliate mutual senti
ments of respect and forbearance. This were
belter than to aggravate exasperations that
serve only to embitter the mass of citizens
against each other, for the benefit of the least
deserving amongst them—the few who are up
on the look out for offices. The 4th of July,
the birth-day of our national independence and
existence, would seem a proper occasion for
cultivating those better feelings of our nature.
It augurs nothing creditable to our liberality, or
our patriotism, that it is devoted to party car
nivals for the mutual denunciation of one ano
ther.— Cincin. Gaz.
In addition to the above remarks From the
Cincinnati Gazette, we subjoin the following
excellent observations on the same subject from
the New York American:
“ A moment’s reflection will suggest that our
present party divisions, however broad, do not
have the least bearing upon the triumphant ad
justment of that question which was raised by
the Declaration of Independence. It was fo
reign, not domestic usurpation that our ances
tors raised their arms against; and the tie of
Transatlantic tyranny once broken, the unborn
nations of all ages upon this continent, under
whatever form of government they may live,
may still justly celebrate the blessed day toge
ther. Let us suppose for a moment that the
form of government adopted by our noble fore
fathers at the close of the Revolution had been
one widely different from that under which our
country has so happily flourished! Would there
not still have been sufficient cause of gratitude
that that government was our own? That whe
ther we became Monarchists, or Republicans,
we were still free from a stranger's power over
our political acts, »md could regulate them
among ourselves as we chose. The Declara
tion of Independence is not the Constitution of
the country. It is only the charter by which
we own the ?oil, * id the free air above it; and
no question th;r . an be raised upon the former,
in any way ; •vs or affects the latter. The
one is the grand charier of rights between us
and foreign nations; the other lays down those
principles by which we choose to be regulated
among ourselves. Every honest man will of
course be zealous to maintain each; but while
there may be many opinions about the mode of
interpreting and maintaining the Constitution,
there can be but one about that of maintaining
the Declaration of Independence. It is ever to
S resent an unbroken front to foreign nations.
o matter what changes may threaten—what
evils may canker our present political exist
ence, let the feelings and the passions—the re
gret for what is lost, and the anxiety for what
we may be loosing—let party bitterness, and all
political asperity, be merged in nobler feelings
when we celebrate the birth-day, not of a par
ticular form of government, but, of a People.
Travellers in Mahometan lands love to ex
patiate upon the deep moral effect produced by
the cessation of every movement in a crowded
city, when at the call of the Muezzin from his
minaret, each Mussulman pauses in whatever
act he may be engaged, ana kneels in worship
beside the person nearest to him—unmindful
what may be his condition, and whether
he be a friend or an enemy. And truly, there is
somethingsingularly impressive in the idea ofthe
appioach of such an hour, and of the solemni
ty that daily accompanies its annunciation.—
But how much more imposing is the spectacle,
when the actors, instead of being the devotees
of a barbarous superstition, are engaged in ce
lebrating the rites of enlightened Freemen—and
when, alter having consumed the year in secta
rian quarrels over the revelation of liberty that
has been made to them, they unite, on one day,
in a heartfelt offering to the memories of those
from whose hand* it came.
Costly Honors.—In the course of a debate in
the British House of Commons, on the subject
of reducing the fees of some of the King’s
Officers, Sir Edward Codrington rose and said
that he held in his hand a bill sent to him when
he was invested with a Grand Cross of the Or
der of the Bath, which he candidly confessed (
shocked him when he saw it. He, however, im
mediately determined never to pay it—(loud
laughter for some time.) He would have no- j
thing to do with the honor, if it was not gratu- j
itous. He had not asked for it certainly, why i
then should he pay for it? If paid for, it would
be valueless to him. He mentioned the charg
es for fees, as excessive and shameful, to the
first Lord of the Admiralty at the time, who
agreed in opinion with him. He told the first
Lord of the Admiralty, he would not pay a far
thing of it. W hat he was most surprised at, was
the item of £122 for the King’s Household. He
hoped on inquiry, it would be found there w as
no pretext for demanding many of these fees
from officers for the distinction conferred. Af
ter the war a number of officers had the honor of
Knighthood conferred on them; they went to
the Levee, and then put all their bills for fees in
a heap together upon the table, for the King to
pay them if he chose: they paid none of them.
The gallant Admiral, amidst much laughter,
read a list of fees he had been called on to pay
on his installation, but w’hich he had always re
sisted. They amount in all to £380 17s. but he
told them, that sooner than pay them, they
might tuke their Order of ibe Bath back—(long
and loud laughing.)
From the Baltimore Chronicle.
A writer in the National Gazette suggests that
Whig editors throughout the country, publish
under the editorial head until the succeed
ing elections, the following lines.
4i Let every man, when he has done with his
“ paper, forward it to one of his friends in the
“ country.” •
This suggestion is very good, but we think
we can malte a better. It is, that every man
who can afford it, take the paper and pay for
it; and when he has done with it, lend it to his
poorer neighbor.
ALEXANDRIA:
THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 3, 1834.
SPIRIT OF THE TIMES.
“ TO 3HEW
THE VERY AQE AND BODY OF THE TIME,
ITS FORM AND PRESSURE.”
We learn that violence and bloodshed may
be expected in Missouri between those fanatics
the Momonites and those, almost equally fana
tics, who seek to put down their superstitions
and delusions by force of arms.
The Post Office Committee, appointed by the
House of Representatives to sit in the recess, are,
it is understood, to assemble in Washington on
the 22d September next.
The Senate Committee of Finance, who are
instructed to sit during the recess, will have a
meeting forthwith at Philadelphia} after which
they will, it is supposed, sit for weeks in this ci
ty before the meeting of Congress. [This
Committee consists of Mr. Webster, Mr. Ewing,
Mr, Mangum, and Mr. Tyler—Mr. Wilkins, the
fifth member, vacating his seat by accepting the
Mission to Russia.]
Sylvester, who decamped from Philadelphia
with money belonging to New York Brokers,
has been traced to Savannah, from whence he
tailed on the 16th ultimo, in the brig Romulus,
Capt. Mauran, of Providence, for Havre, con
signed to Lewis Rogers & Co. under the as
sumed name of Charles Peel. He converted
most of the money into drafts drawn at 60 days
sight, in favor of “Chas. Peel,” by J. Auze, on
Guenard, Freres & Co. of Havre—one for
13,352 1-2 francs, and the other for 654 francs.
It is believed that Mr. Richie has forfeited his
office of Public Frinter, by accepting, under
the Federal Government, an appointment, in
connection with William B. Lewis, to act as
Commissioner for filling vacancies in the Dip
lomatic services of the Government!
Blair of the Globe, received $8386 for a sin
gle post office advertisement, which was pub
lished two months and twenty-two days—equ; 1
to Si 16 per day. No wonder the fellow is for
holding on to the ‘ spoils.’
In the July number of the North Americun
Quarterly Review, there is one paper entitled
“ Origin and Character of the Old Parties;”
which, we should think, whould be exceedingly
interesting.
The editor of the Worcester Republican has
been appointed post master of that pleasant
town,and one of the establishes oftheRepublican
has received an appointment to the Boston Cus
tom House, worth $3,700 per annum.
One of the newspapers, in noticing the death
of a lady, says, ‘‘Providence saw good to encom
pass her with many sorrows”—and then goes on
to state that she had 11 children and 7‘J grand
children.
An anxiety to see Mr. Benton in the Cabinet
is often expressed by the friouds of the admin
istration. He has been repeatedly pressed to
take office, but has uniformly and firmly de
clined.
We have before us a copy of the pamphlet
entitled “ The War on the Bank of the United
States; or, A Review of the measures of the
Administration against that institution and the
Prosperity of the Country.’1 It has just come
from the press of Messrs. Key &, Biddle, and
consists of 155 pages in good type.
The ship Congress arrived at New York, from
Vera Cruz, brings about $50,000 in specie.
A subterraneous Indian Village has been dis
covered in Sacoochce Valley in Georgia, by
gold miners, in excavating a canal for the pur
pose of washing gold. The depth to which it is
covered varies from seven to nine feet; some of
the houses are embedded in a stratum of rich au
riferous gravel. They are 34 in number, built
of logs’ from six to ten inches in diameter, and
from ten to twelve feet in length. The walls are
from three to six feet in height, forming a con
tinuous line or street of 300 feet. The logs are
hewed and notched, as at the present day. The
land beneath which they were found, was co
vered, at its first settlement by the whites, with
a heavy growth of timber, denoting a great an
tiquity to these buildings, and that a powerful
cause submerged them.
A letter from Mr. Burden to a friend in Phila
delphia says: “I am happy in being able to
state, that my steamboat operates equai to my
most sanguine expectations. I shall have her
completed about the middle of next week, and
will then make the first trip to Albany.”
The Pittsburg papers notice the dt ath of Fre
derick Rapp, the founder of the settlement at
Economy, in Beaver County, in the 60th year
of his age, after a lingering illness.
The Globe says that the President has freely
expressed his “ high sense of Mr. M’Lsne’s pa -
triotism, talents and eminent services.” And
why is it that such men are quitting the service
and abandoning the cause of the Administra
tion? Would Mr. M’Lane resign the first office
in the Administration for slight cause? It can
not be.
So far, the Senate has saved the country;—
it has been the rock by which the waves of Ex
ecutive outrages have been stayed, and pre
vented from overwhelming the whole.
At the marriage of Mr. Sears to Miss Palmer,
at Clarktown, during the performance of the
ceremony, a Mr. Levi Philips became so ena
moured with the sister of Miss Palmer, that af
ter a few minutes conversation, during which
they seemed highly pleased with each other, they
desire the Dominie to tie them in wedlock’s ho
ly band. I .
Large Dividend.—The Atlantic Insurance
Company have declared a dividend of ten per
cent, for the last syc months payable 7th July.
Cheap Festivals.—We observe that the price
fixed for the pubhc 4th of July dinner, in Bos
ton, is $1. This appears reasonable enough;
but %
In Philadelphia, the price of one of the princi
pal public dinners is fixed at 75 cents, and ano
ther at 50 cents a head.
Arm? and Navy.—The army of the United
States, as now constituted, consists of dragoons
363; artillery 1,778; infantry 3,225; unattached
soldiers and recruits 67S—total 6,051.
Militia according to late returns 1,346.116.
Navy.—Vessels in commission, 1 ship of the
line, 3 frigates, 15 sloops of war and 6 schoon
ers. In ordinary 6 ships of the line, 6 frigates.
At the different depots, have been delivered,
frames of live oak for four ships of the line, 7
frigates and 4 sloops. Contracts have been
made for the frames of 1 ship of the line and 1
sloop of war.
In Boston they are making great preparations
for the coming 4th of July. Arrangements are
making on the Common, says one of the Bos
ton papers, between West street and the great
tree, for the erection of a splendid tent or whig
pavilion, covering an area of 40,000 square feet,
for the purpose of celebrating the Fourth of Ju
ly, in a style becoming the occasion. In the
centre, the lower mast of a liberty pole is alrea
dy raised, which, when completed, will be t)ne
: hundred feet high, the whole ground to be en
tirely covered with canvass in such a manner
as to render it almost impervious to rain or sun.
Bunker Hill.—At the late celebration of the
anniversary of Bunker Hill, a number of the
soldiers of the Revolution were invited by a
large party of young men to partake of a pub
lic dinner. T wenty-seven veterans met together
at the festive board, whose united ages amount
ed to 2100 years.
Duelling in Massachusetts.—Since the ac
quittal of Mr. Boot, who was concerned in a
duel fought, or undertaken to be fought, just
over the Rhode Island line, another challenge
has been sent by a Bostonian to his opponent,
inviting him to deadly combat. Instead ot ac
cepting it the person challenged handed it over
' to the editor of a newspaper for publication.
Deaf and Dumb.—The New York Journal of
Commerce states that the number of this unfor
tunate class of our population in the United
States, is 1,652 white persons under fourteen
years of age; 1,905 do, over fourteen and under
twenty-five; 1,806 do. over twenty-five; total
whites, 5,363; free colored persons of the same
ages respectively, 273, 276, and 227; total free
colored persons, 743; grand total 6,106.
The Blind in the United States and Territo
ries, of free whites, amount, according to the
last census, to 3,974; of colored persons, 1,470;
total blind, 5,444.
A Small•Star.—The New York Star of Sa
turday says;—“ We learn with pleasure that
young Miss Wheatley, a child of only 14, made a
most successful hit in her debut at the Park, In
the part of Julia in the Hunchback. Her imi
tations of Miss Kemble are said to have been
admirable, independent of her own intrinsic
conceptions of the part. She was born as it
were behind the scenes; and it is from such ma
terials only that the Keans and Siddons come.
Miss Kemble was present and warmly applaud
ed her father’s pupil.
• Cholera at Cincinnati.—The Cincinnati In
telligencer says. “ We hear of repeated cases
of cholera in this city, some of which have
proved fatal. Many complain of the premoni
tory symptoms.”
Just before the adjournment of the Senate,
Mr. Benton laid a resolution on the table de
claring the unconstitutionality of Mr. Clay’s re
solutions which drew out the Protest, and pro
posing to expunge them from the Journals. Mr.
Benton gave notice that he would call it up
next session.
We find in the Bosto n Liberator, Garri
son's paper, the following notice. The editor
vouches for the character of the advertiser,
and certifies that he is serious in his proposals,
and is actuated by disinterested and generous
motives:—
A Friend of Equal rights, is convinced that
our colored brethren and sisters are entitled to
all the rights and privileges which are claimed
by the whites; that prejudice against color is
extremely absurd; and that as long as this pre
judice exists, it6 victims will feel the yoke of op
pression crushing them to the earth. He takes
the liberty also to state, (being himself what is
termed a white man.) should he meet with a
suitable opportunity, he is convinced, that it
would be his duty, as it is his determination to
bear testimony against this prejudice by marry
ing a Colored "Woman.!!
Information wouldbe thankfully rec eived of
any voung, respectable, and intelligent colored
Woman, (entirely or chiefly of African descent,)
who would be willing to endure the insults and
reproaches that would be heaped upon her for
being the partner of a white man; and who is
cither in low circumstances, or u'ould be wil
ling to cede all she has or may have of this
world’s goods, to the American Anti-Slavery
Society, that the mouths of gainsayers may be
stopped. Information sent by letter (post paid)
to E. K.; West Chester, Penn, will meet with
due attention.
The Albany Argus, charges us with being a
turncoat. We admit the “ soft impeachment.”
We wore a Van Buren coat once, and wore it
threadbare; we have been compelled to turn it,
and if others do not follow suit they will not
have a suit on their backs to follow them.
New York Star.
In an old paper published in 1769, we perceive
the notice of a marriage in New London, of
| Mr. Daniel Shaw of Marlborough, to Miss Grace
Coit of Marlborough. It was stated that the
young lady was (as usual) embellished with
every qualification requisite to render a marri
ed life agreeable. On the evening succeeding
the day of the marriage, a ball was given by
the father of the bridegroom, at his Mansion
House in New London, at which were present
ninety-two of the principal ladies and gentlemen
of the place, who by half past twelve o’clock,
when the company broke up, danced ninety
two jigs, fifty-two country-dances, forty-fa*
minuets, and seventeen hornpipes!
A Swap.—Nr. Snooks was asked the other
day how he could account for Nature’s forming
him so ugly. “Nature was not to blame.” says
he, “ for when 1 was two months old I was con
sidered the handsomest child in the neighbor
hood—but my nurse, the slut, one day swapped
me away for another boy. just to please a fnend
of hers, w hose child was rather plain-looking.
