LAMARTINE. 5 .v - A. ; " Although the veteran republican and ancient friend of Laf.iyetter Dupont dV l'Eure, in th'e position of President of Council, appears as the chief of tbe Provisional Government of France, it would seem that genius had asserted hei right, and Lamartine, the Minister of Foreign Affair?, is regarded as the ruling spirit among those who direct the Affairs of the new republic' . . : i .... Lamartine is too well known to all persons in America who have the slightest tincture of letters, to require description. He carries the

fame of a poet and historian into a lofty politi cal post, in which he has exhibited - already a certain greatness of mind, with magnificent traits of courage, philanthropy, firmness and moderation, worthy of a republican statesman of the highest order. These qualities, it would seem, have enabled him, at a critical moment to prevent the. revolution running into anarchy an achievement effected by the power of his eloquence in the midst of armed men whose pikes were aimed at his own throat. Lamartine's first State paper, which we ubjoin, is, in every sens-, a noble production noble from the pacific sentiments itannounces to all the European governments, noble from the calm assertion of the rights of nations to change their governments with the progress of liberal ideas, noble from the equally calm declaration of the ability, and, if necessary, the willingness of the new republic, to meet the enemies of France and of freedom in the shock of arms. This circular, in the nature of a pub lic manifesto, has excited the particular admijation of all the liberal journals in England; to admiration in which we earnestly and heartily jpin. Circular of fa Minister of Foreign Affiairs to the Diplomatic en,s f thc Fre"ch Republic. Sis: You know tl,C events of Paris, the tictory of the people, its heroism, its moderation, its pacification, the ora'cr re-established by the concurrence of the whole or the citizens, as if, in that interregnum of the visible jiowers, the reason of the public were alone ' the covernment of France. The French revolution has thus entered into j its definitive period. France is republican. The French Republic has no occasion to be acknowledged in order to exist. By natural law as well as by the law of nations, it exists: it is the will of a great people, . which does not demand its title but from itself. Nevertheless, the French Republic, desiring to enter into the family of governments instituted as regular powers, and not as a phenomenon coming to disturb ihe order of Europe, it is proper that vou promptly make known to the government to which you are accredited the principles and tendencies which will Jieuceforth direct the foreign policy of the French Government. The proclamation of the French Republic is not an act of aggression against any form of government in the world The forms of government have diversities as legitimate as the forms of character, the geographical situation, the intellectual, moral, and material development of nations. Nations, like individuals, have, different ages. The principles which govern them have successive phases monarchical, aristocratical: constitutional, republi can Governments, are the expressions of the different nations. They demand more liberty in pro'jonion as they feel thenselves capable of supporting more. They demand more equality and democracy in proportion as they are the more inspired with the feeling of justice and love for the people. It is a question of tme. A nation goes astray in outrunning the hour of that maturity, as it dishonors itselt in allowing it to escape without seizing upon it. The monarchy and the republic are not in the eyes of true statesmen, absolute principles which are enemies to the death, they are facts which are contrasted to each other, and which can live face to face, while they understand and respect each other. . War, then, is not the principle of the French Republic, as it became the fatal anil glorious jiecessiiv of ;he Republic iti 1792. Between 1792 and 1&13 there is half a century. To re turn, after the lapse of half a centurv, to the principles of 1792, or to the principles of con quest and empire, would not be to advance, it would be to retrogade with the advance, of time. The Revolution of yesterday is a step in advance, and not one backwards. The world and ourselves wish to march to fraternity and peace, If the situation of the Republic in 1792 explained the war, the differences which exist between that rriod of our historr and that in which we live, explains the peace. Apply yourself to the understanding of these differen ces, and explain them to those around you. In 1792 the nation was not one. Two na tions fnetiDlesl existed on the same soil. A terrible strussle still prolonged itself between the classes dispossessed ol their privileges, and the classes who had just succeeded in achieving equality aud liberty. The latter classes dispossessed united themselves with the captive royalty and with jealous foreigners to deny its revolution in France, and to re-impose upon it the monarchy, the aristocracy, and the theocracv. by invasion. At the present day there are no longer any distinctions and inequality of classes. Liberty has treed all. Equality before the law has levelled everything. Fraternity, of which we proclaim the application, and of which the National Assembly is to organize the benefits, is about to unite all. There is not a single citizen in France, to whatever opinion he may belong, who does not rally to to the principle of the country before everything else, and who does not render, by that very union, all attempts impregnable to , the attempt and the Lars of invasion In 1792 it was not the entire population who entered into possession of the Government. It was the middle classes only who wished to ex ercise liberty and enjoy it. The triumph of the middle class at that time was egotistical, as " the triumps of every oligarchy must be. It wished to retain for itselt the rights achieved for all. It was necessary for it to operate a strong diversion against the' advance of the people by precipitating it (the people) on the tield of battle, in order to prevent it from entering into the exercise of its own Govern ment, ltus inversion was the war. W ar was tbe idea, or tbe Monarchians and the Girondinis. - It was not the idea of the most advanc ed JJunocratics, wno wisnea iiKe us trie sincere regards and the complete reign of the people itself, comprising in that name all classes, wit bout exclusion or preference as the.nation is composed. In 1792 the people was only the instrument of the Revolution. To-day the Revolution is made by the people and for the people. The Tiponle is itself the Revolution. In entering into it, it carries into it, its new necessities of labor, of industry, of instruction, of agriculture, of commerce, ot morality, of prosperity, of property, of cheap living, of navigation, and, In short, of civilization, which are all the necessities of peace. ..The people and peace are but one word. In 1792 the ideas of France and of Europe were unprepared to comprehend and to accept rront harmonv of nations among each othr to the benefft of the human race. ' The idea "of the age which was closing was only in the heads of some philosophers. Philosophy at the prrKBt day is popular. Fifty vcars of liberty

of thinking, of speaking, and- of writing, have produced their result.- Books, journals and ihc tribune, have acted as the apostles of European intelligence. " Reason spreading everywhere, and overstepping the frontiers of ' nations, has treated that intellectual nationality which will be the achievement of the French Revolution, and the constitution of international fraternity all over the globe. In short, in 1792 liberty was a novelty, equality was a scandal, and thj-epublic was a problem. The title of nations, which had only just been discovered .by Fenelon, Montes quieu and Rosseau, was so completely forgotten, buried, profaned by old teudal dynastic, and sacerdotal traditions, that the most legitimate intervention of the people in its affairs appeared a montrosity to the statesmen of the old school. Democracy made the monarchs, and at the same time the foundations of society tremble. To-day thrones and the people are accustomed to the word, to the forms, and to the regular agitations of liberty, exercised in nearly different proportions in all slates, and even in . monarchies. They will accustom themselves to the Republic, which is its complete form in all the ripest of nations. They will acknowledge that there .may be in the republic not only better order, but that there may be more real order in that government of allforali, than in the government of the few: for the few. ' . But besides these disinterested considerations, the sole interest of the consolidation aod duration of the republic would inspire ia the statesmen of France the thoughts of peace. It is not the country that runs the greatest danger in the war; it is the liberty. War is almost always a dictatorship. Soldiers forget institutions for men. Thrones tempt the ambitious. Glory dazzles patriotism. The prestige of a glorious name veils the attack upon the sovereignty of the nation. The republic desires glory, without doubt, but it wishes - it for itself and not for Caesars or Napoleons. " Do not deceive yourselves, nevertheless. Those ideas which tbe Provisional Government i . . . . i .

cuarges you to present to me powers, as a pledge of European safery, have not for their object to obtain forgiveness to the republic for having had the boldness to create itself, and still less to ask humbly the place of a great right and a great people in Europe. Thev have a more noble object: to" make sovereigns and na tions reflect, and not to allow them to deceive themselves involuntarily as to the character of our revolution; to give its true light and its just character of the " event; in short, to give pledges to humanity, before giving them to our right and to our honor, if they should be unacknowledged or threatened. ' The French Republic will, then, not make vrr on any one. It has no occasion to say that if coriJi lions of war are laid dowii to the French neoDle it wi'J accept them, lhe thoughtsof the men who at the present moment govern France are these: it will be tortunate lor .trance it war be declared against it, and it it be constrained thus to increase its strength and glory in spite of its moderation. It will be a terrible respon sibility for France if the- Republic itself declares war without being provoKea to it. in me nrst case, us martial genius, us imuaucutc ui attion, its strength, accumulated during so many vears of Deace. will render it invincible with in its own territory, and redoubtable, periwps, . '. i bevond its trontiers. In the second cage, n would turn against itself the recollection of its conquests, which diminish the auections ot nations, and it would compromise the first and most universal alliance, the spirit of nations and the genius of civilization. According to these principles, sir, which are the cool principles of France principles she can present without fear, as without suspicion, to her fiiends and to her enemies you will have the goodness to impress upon yourselt the lollowing declarations: lhe treaties ot lot i exist no longer as law in the eyes of the French republic; ne vertheless, the territorial circumscriptionsof these treaties are a fact which it admits as a basis, and as a point dc depart in its relations with other nations. But if the treaties of 1815 do not exist any longer excepting as facts to modify a common understanding, and if the Republic declares openly that its riant and its mission is to arrive regularly and pacifically at these modifications the good sense, the moderation, the conscience, the prudence of the Republic exist, and are for Europe a better and more honorable guarantee than the letter of those treaties, so often vio lated and modified by Europe itself. Endeavor, sir, to make this emancipation of the Republic fiora the treaties of 1815 be clearly understood, and try to show that that freedom has nothing in it which is irrecontileable with the repose of Europe. Thus we declare itopenly. If the hour of the reconstruction of some nationalities, of oppressed in Europe or elsewhere, should appear to us to have sounded in the decrees of Providence,if Switzerland, our faithful ally since the time of Francis I, were constrained or threats ened in the advance which she is effecting in her government, in order to lend additional strength to the facine of Democratic governments if the independent states of Italy were iuvaded if any limits or obstacles were imposed on their internal transformations if the right of alliance among themselves, in order to consolidate an Italian nation, weie contested by main force the French Republic would believe itself entitled to arm itself in order to protect these legitimate movements of the greatness and nationality of states. The Republic, you see, by its first step, repudiates the era of proscriptions and of dictations. She is decided never to veil liberty at home. She is equally decided never to veil its democratic principle abroad. She will never permit any one to interpose between the pa cific radiation of its liberty and the regard of nations. She proclaims herself the intellectual and cordial ally of every right, of every pro gress, of every legitimate development of the institutions ot nations whicn win to live on j the same principle as herself. She will notj endeavor any immoderate or incendiary propagandism amongst her neighbors. She knows that there is no durable freedom but that which grows of itself on its own soil. But it will exercise by the light of its ideas, by the spectacle of order and of peace which it hopes to give to the world, the sole and honest proselytism of esteem and of sympath.y-...... that is not war, it is nature. mat is not the agitation of Europe, it is life. Thatisnot to embroil the world, it is to shine from its place on the horrizon of nations, to advance them and to guide them at the same time. We desire, for humanity, that the peace be preserved. AVe even hope it. One only question of war was mooted, a year ago, between England and France. It was not Republican France which started that question of war; it was the dynasty. The dynasty carries away with it that danger of war which it had given rise to for Europe by the entirely personal ambition of us family alliances in boa in. -Ihus that do mestic policy of the fallen dynasty, weighed for seventten years on our national dignity, weighed at the same time, by its pretensions to anothercrownat Madrid, on ourliberal alliances and on peace. The Republic has no ambition. lhe Kepublic has no nepotism. It inherits not the pretentions of a family. Let Spain govern itself, let Spain be independent aud free. France, for the solidity of this natural alliance, counts more on the conformity of principles than on the successions of the House of Bourbon! Such is, Sir, the spirit of the councils of the Kepublic. Such will invariably be the character of . the policy frank, firm, and moderate, which you will have to represent. The Republic has pronounced at its birth, and in the midst of the heat of contests, not provoked by the people, three words which have

revealed its soul, and which will call down.on its cradle the blessings of God and men: Liberty, Equality, Fraternity. Shegave immediate

ly Tnereatter, by tne abolition ot the punish ment ol deatti lor political offences, the true commentary of those three words at home: do you also give them their true commentary abroad. The sense of these three words, applied to our external relations, is this: the breaking by p ranee ot tne cnains whicn weighed on us principle and on its dignity: the recovery of the rank which it ought to occupy in the scale- of the great European powers; in fine, the. declar atiouof alliance andamity to all nations. If France feels conscientiously the part in the mission of freedom and ci vilzation in the present age, there is not one of these words which signifies War. If Europe is prudent and just, there is not one of these words which does not dignify Peace. Kecei ve Sir, the assurance of my high esteem(Signed) LAMARTINE. Member of the. Provisional Government of the R.epublie,'and Minister of Foreign Affairs. Paris, March 2, 184S MORAL TREASON. President Polk, in his message to Congress. denounced the Whigs as guilty of moral treason, for having expressed the opinion thai the war was unnecessary. lhe charge has been echoed by every official throughout the land, by Locoloco members ol Congress and by the; party prints in every section of the country. j We beg all who may have attached any importance to this charge, coming from such quarters, to read again this admirable extract from the speech of Lieut. Col. Morrison, al the Taylor meeting on Tuesday night. Col. M. was at the battle of Buena Vista, and was favorably noticed by Taylor in his official report for gallant conduct. N. Y. Cour. dj- Enq. "Ihave since, my return to this country, listened with deep and painful regret to charges which I regret to say that I heard but a short time ago on the floor of Congress, that the majority of that great and patriotic party the Whigs are traitors, are guilty of moral treason, because they dare to believe and to. say that this war, in which we are engaged, was brought on by the imprudence of the leaders of the political party in power, and because they think that it has been prosecuted beyond that point which the safety and security of the country demand. . But, gentlemen, when the tocsin of alarm was sounded that the country was in danger; that the aid of her sons was needed where, then, were the Whigs! In the words of an eloquent man one of the most eloquent to be. found in the states of this Union lying beyond the Alleghanies one who is loved in the Western country from which I come, all flew to the standard of their country; aud in the forward ranks, willing to give their lives for their country, were the Whigs. And upon the occasion of the battle of Buena Vista all of you have doubtlessheard and read of the twelve hundred men who were left as the fragment of three regiments which had held the front in position, and had fought all day and say it with all proper modesty that of these three regiments two werelrom my own St. te, Illinois, and the 'other was the gallant and lamented McKey's of Kentucky but these three regiments re duced to a fragment of twelve hundred, three quarters of an hour before sundown on that awful day, when they had advanced to make (bat last and bloody assault, with the gallant Hardin, of Illinois, and McKee, who are now gone -who led them? What do the records say? ' who led these fragments of three regiments into the field? T.ie:i were led by six field offi cers. And of the six field officers five were of that traitorous band of Wings, iLouucneers.j And of those five Whigs who led those men three sealed their devotion .to their country with their blood. Cheers. Hardin, Mclvee and Clay, all fell on that field and the two remaining were Col: Bissel and myself. ' There were six field officers of the six five were Whigs who have sacrificed their lives so freely in this war, are stigmatized as traitors. Does not the blood of the young and gallant Henry Clay, who gave his life to his country on that bloody field, rise in judgment against the vile accusations against his honest sire? Cheers. Does not the spirit of the gallant Lincoln rebuke the assailants? of that gallant LincQln, who after having so much distinguished himself at Palo Alto and theResacca, offered his life a sacrifice on the altr of his country at Buena Vista? An unneressarj sacrifice, too for he thought the day was lost, and when one of the volunteer regiments had been broken and he saw the men flying from the field which he thought was lost, he rushed to the head of the retreating regiment and rallied them again to the attack, threw himself into the thickest of the fight, resolved not to see the dishonor of his country, and there he was stiicken down. I saw him when in the agonies of death, with his right hand clenched on his braast and his left hand extended, and with his eyes scowl ing on the enemies of his country, his last breath passed away. And yet the father of that man is called a traitor. Cheers. 1 These are the evidences of treason which the Whig party presents to the nation. Cheers. And now for the other side of the picture. Here is the sketch from the Milwaukie Sen.inel; and after reading it, let every candid man say who are the traitors: The two "Passes." At a most critical period of the American revolution, Benedict Arnold, being then engaged in treasonable correspondence with the enemy, gave the following "pass' to Maj. Andre, to ensure him free egress trom the American lines: Head Quarters, Robinson's House, ? September 22nd, 1760. Permit Mr. John Anderson to pass the Guard to the White Plains, or below, if he chooses; he being on public business by mv directions. BENEDICT ARNOLD, Major General. . In May, 1846, just as onr country was about plunging into a war with Mexico, the Secreta ry ot the Navv, by order ot President folk, is sued the following "pass"' for the benefit of Santa Anna: (Priv ale and confidential.) U. S. Naw Departnest, May 13,1846. $ Commodore: If Santa Anna endeavors to enter the Mexican Ports, you will allow him to pass freely. very respectfully yours, G. BANCROFT Com. David Cosxor. Commanding Home Squadron Benedict Arnold's treason was discovered in time to prevent any ill effects from the "pass' he gave to Andre. In Santa Anna's rase, we have been less fortunate. That wily, chief did attempt toenter the Mexican ports, wasallowed to pass unquestioned, and has been since steadily and zealously engaged in animating his countrymen to fight to the last against the American troops.. The "pass" given to him has cost our country thousands of precious lives, millions of dollars, and a protracted, sanguinary and expensive war. For all this the people may thank James K. Polk.

EIGHT DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL OF THE WASHING TON. New York, April, 7, 10J P. M. The fine American steamer Washington, arrived at this port to-day, with eight days later news from Europe thun thc advices brought by

meixneaonia, naving sauea irom Southampton England, on tne iytii uit. By this arrival we have accounts of a monster mass meeting that was called at Dublin on the 20th March. The English Government was preparing to send troopsand steamers with necessary armaments to put down all demonstrations of such a character. Accounts from France and Scotland represent those countries as being quiet: . The Provisional Government of France has organized a large force to repel any invasion from Aus tria. The resolutions adopted by the people to Vi enna, resulted in the Emperors granting everymingctesirea ana aemanneu Dv the people. Hungary has declared itself independent of Austria. ... - - The Emperor of Russia is reported to be dead. The Bank of France has suspended, and the local banks established by the Provisional Government have failed to relieve the monetary pressure thut prevails at the present crisis. As a consequence ot tins calamity, heavy failures in France have taken place. lhe Kepublic ot trance has generally been recognized by the European Governmants. Jbngiisn lunds are mostly unaltered since the sailing of the Caledonia. The market for cotton and corn had slightly improved. . fX3We copy the following from the Phil adelphia North American of the 1st: . " The Democratic Mavorality Convention. in New-York, on Thursday night, at Tammany Hall, presented one ol those rich scenes lor which that old political wigwam of late years has become celebrated. On the 13th ballot of that evening there had been several previous evenings wasted in vain efforts Mr. Ha vemeyer was nominated, The Herald says: "As soon as the announcement of Mr. H.'s nominati in was made, three cheers were called for, when three heavy groans were given.. Three cheers were then proposed and given for Brady, ( the Whig candidate,) and three for Gillender, (Mr. H.'s opponent in convention.) So great was the excitement, thata number of the friends of Mr. II. made their exit through a back window, while, the anathemas of the crowd were heaped upon them, and swearing to support a Whig candidate rather than the nominee ot that convention. It was expressed by several that such a feeling was never manifested in old Tammany before. During the time of balloting, a fight was begun in the crowd, but the people not being that way disposed, the parties were seperateu without the loss ot Dtootl or breakage of limb. The greatest possible con- j fusion prevailed, and the crowd when called upon to adjourn to the house of Mr. Havemeyer and congratulate . him, cried out, "we'll go the Whig before Havemeyer." Mr. Gillender made his appearance in a few moments at the Pewter Mug, next door, and was greeted with cheers, while the same strain of imprecation and expressions of prejudice were heaped upon the name of Havemeyer. It was announced that the nomination would be overruled at th? county meeting, if possible and if that failed, it would be found wanting at the ballot box. GENERAL TAYLOR. Translated from a French Paper. Some days ago we read, in Mons. Thiers' work anaccount of the baitleof Jena, and of the defiles of Kosen; which were both fought on the same day. We there saw the Pitissian army, proud of itsdiscipline and superior or ganization, marching up lo the cannon's mouth witn just tne same precision and coolness as if it was on parade these are the very wori s of the author. We there saw this proud army cut up and destroyed, without hopes of rally ing, and annihilated in one day, by soldiers, the greatest part of whom were new recruits, whom Napoleon had brought hastily on from the Rhine in post carriages. On the other hand, subsequent to the above events; we saw the German students and country people, drive back to the very gates of Paris, the proud and conquering legions of Napoleon. Thus, then it is not discipline that makes an army powerful and mighty, it is its moral impress, its pa triotism. Au army which enters with spirit into the views of its leaders, and is animated with the desire of attaining the end they seek to attain, will necessarily be much more pow erful and mighty than an army of automatons, possessed ol no moral impulse, and no feeling and sentiment ol duty. General Taylor writt s in the following words, after the battle of Buena Vista, a battle in which 5,000 yolunteeis put to flight 22,000 men, troops of the -line, and in a perfect state ot military organization. He uses the following words: uhat caused me to gain '.he victory, was the fact that each soldier made his country's quarrel his own quarrel; and, though surrounded on all sides, never once thought of surrendering, or yielding up the field to the enemy." From the beginning of the world to our own time, the above truth has been confirmed by facts. Marathon, Thermophylae, and the wars of the Roman Kepublic, the wars of Independence of the United States, the wars of 1812, the wars of the French Republic, Saragossa, and the battle of Courtrey, where theciiizensor Ghent defied the proud chivalry of France; the wars of the Bolivian Republic against Spain, England, and France; also our own revolution of 1830 all these examples prove that armies of patriots always are superior to mercanaries, where rank and employment is sought for the position they give in society, for tbe money which they yield. For the defence of the country we only require a militia well organized, who feel that the presence of an enemy on the soil of the country is a national disaster. From the New Orleans Delta, March 30th. LATER FROM THE CITY OF MEXICO. HIGHLY IMPORTANT ! ' Eds. Delta: I arrived here yesterday, I found on my arrival that the "court of inquiry" had been in session two days. I enclose to you a sketch of the proceedings from the Star and American, and also the report of your correspondent " ." To-day thc court has adjourned over to Monday next. 1 will endeavor to be present then and prepare for you a succinct account of the proceedings as they progress. 1 have some remarks to make upon the course of the Government in this affair. It is the opinion of many persons that the course adopted by the Government at Washington, in reference to the difficulties in the army, has not been solely with the view of dealing out justice to all the parties concerned. Time and an examination of the documents will develope the true state of the. case, and I shall not be Burpriscd if the sequel proves that our ''wire men at Washing ton" are gifted with a little more cunning than good sense. As yet, there are more things to brought for ward that are "decidedly rich;" and those whe are facetiously gifted will have a fine opportunity for the exercise of their talents. The health of the army has somewhat improved during the last two weeks. There are fifty members of Congress at present at Queretaro; there are fifteen at this place who will leave on Monday for the seat of government There has been an order issued by the Mexican government for the holding the elections in the States from which no delegates have been elected. I hear not doubt expressed among the Mexicans in reference to the ratification of the treaty. I have heard several of the Puro party eay that they would vote for the ratification.ncd, if possible, put an end to tbe War. I am

of opinion that the vote in favor of ratifying tbo treaty will be a very strong one. If the treaty should

come back to the 'United States amended, there will most probably be a good deal ot debate and delay. . - ; I wrote to yon some time ago- that a delegation from a party of brokers, shavers, and broken down politicians, had gone from here to Washington for the purpose of preventing,if possible, our government acceding to any terms, and bring about a military oc cupation of the whole country. These persons have in view their own interest, without regard to what may be the interest of the United States. They want to better their own political and pecuniary fortunes, without caring who suffers. - - Yours,. ."- MUSTANG. City of Mnim. TWrr-li 1). 181.9. It is generally believed to-day the court of inquiry will adjourn to-morrow, without trying the case cf ten. 1 illow upoiwts merits, Gen. Scott having refused to prosecute before the present tribunal unless required to do'so. Gen. Scott and Mr. Trist will start for the United States about the 25th inst., with on escort of cavalry for Vera Cruz. Yesterday all business was suspended in the army in eoufoniity w ith the order of the ' President of the United States, on account of the death of Mr. Adams At the dawn of day the colors were hoisted at half mast; the light battery of Capt. Taylor fired a salute in the grand plaza, and continued to fire half-hour guns during the day, and at suudown anodier salute; at U o'clock the army was paraded, and the orders of the President read. From present appearances, I have no doubt but that the Mexican Congress will ratify the treaty as soon as they hear that it 'will meet the approbation of the United States Senate. Ciuhc.vhi'a, An express reached Queretaro on the 13th, bringing the news that the Americans were within three days' march, with the object of occupying that capital. , Santa Anna will not leave by this packet.

The following we take from the American Star of the 19iu March: San Luis Potosi. Gn. Paredes had arrived an d taken quarters. The following extract from a private letter contains everything of interest from this quarter: 'If peace is made, it is believed no oppos-ition will be made by Durango, Zacatecas, or this State. Ma ny deputies, it is expected, will soon depart tor W"cretaro. faredes was in this city yesterday, ana it is believed will be allowed to reside here upon his as surance not to meddle in politics." We find little to translate froui the papers of the other States all seem to be enjoying uninterrupted quiet, and we cannot tind fas i anquies noticed in any of the papers. Zacatecas. The Zacalecnno. of the 5th inst., says: "There is no power under the constitution and acts of reform, by which either the nation or any of the States can cede to a foreigner a foot of the national territory. No treaty of peace can be negotiated or approved without a violation of the constitution, in fact destroying, dissolving the social compact of the States, and breaking forever the constitution of 1824." Herrera. At the last accounts from Querctara, ex-President Herrera waa- improving in health Queretaro. A letter trom the seat of Government, dated on the 12th inst., states that various deputies have arrived within a few days, and that, during the week, there will be fifty members present. This will be within one of a quorum. The correspondent ot the Monitor adds, that the armistice had been published in Queretaro, by Gen. Lombardini, and t&nt the dissatisfaction produced by reading the 16th arti cle was universal. Our readers will remember that the article referred to prohibits the assembling of armed men in any part of the republic, with a' viewto committing hostilities not authorised by either Government. . - The same letter says that Paredes was in quite an isolated position at San Luis Potosi, and that his monarchical plans have been completely frustrated by the neutrality observed by the partisans of Santa Anna at Queretaro. The first movement of a revolutionary character at Guadalajara were promptly suppressed by the good sense exhibited by Angulo and Yunez. CuinuAHUA. The Governor of Chihuahua has re plied to the circular of Rosa, announcing the conclu sion of a treaty of peace. He says he would like to have the conditions made known, but still the re quests and suggestions of his excellency iu the cir" cular will be complied with. He adds, that the Leg islature and the government, at the head of which he is, trusting to the promises of security held out in the circular, and believing that sacrifices are necessary for the preservation of the honor and indepen dence of the country, will redouble their efforts to preserve public order, and see that nothing occurs to dampen the patriotic feeling of the people. By way of Tampico, we received the following from Campeachy. The Notiocoso, at Tampico," has advices from Campeachy, the principal port in Yuctan,to the 18thFeb. It appears that the pronunriamento was getting up in favor of the annexation of that department to Spain. The principal authority of the city had issued a proclamation in opposition to the movement though it had already been put down by Capt. Bella, with a few artillery men, who took all the insurgents prisoner?.
