TIic Alil-dc-Camp of Santa Anna. Translated Jor the Albany Alias, from the Gazette des TriMexico is a favored land for travellers in search of the romantic. Highway adventures, which formerly lent so much renown to the narrow passes of the Sierra Morcna and of the Ar penines, are no longer met with except in the outskirts of Mexico and in the forests of Vera Cruz. ' Eobbery and assassination have preserved, in these countries, their fascination and their poetry. The Mexican tadrones have not exchanged their vast sombreros for the ignoble cap of bur bandits, their flowing zarape for a blue blouse, their mehrte for a knife. There the Robin Hoods, he Mandrin i and organized bands still exM. Often nen enjoying general esteem, public functionaries ?ven, have been members of these dangerous associations, and that shadow of a government which rules in Mexico has been unable to put an end to such incredible anomalies, or to oppose to these robberies any effectual measures of suppression. In the early part of .April, 1933, Mr. L, a "Wealthy merchant of Mexico, compelled by important business to go to Europe with all his family, before leaving for Vera Cruz, went to the residence of General Santa Anna. He was introduced immediately, for Santa Anna is easily accessible to visitors, lie is a thin, wiry man, with a piercing eye, sharp nose and olive complexion. One can xead in them the crafty cunning of the Indian, and the daring of the Spaniard. Santa Anna was alone with his aid-decamp, Colonel Yanez, a young man of remarkable

beauty. The latter was turning over the contents of

a package of dspatches w.th such profound attention, that the Mexican merchant entered, made Iiis salutation and seated himself without Yanez appearing to h-i aware of his presence. Mr. L, then explained to the Gen. that, alarmed by the attacks and assasst nations which were committed every day, he had come t beg that be would grant him an escort, so that he might make the journey from Mexico to Vera Cruz in safety.

blue cloth. This was but a feeble glimmer of light to guido the investigations of justice, and they were almost wearied with their efforts, when Messrs. Deffaudis and Fackenham, acting as the organs of all the 1 diplomatic and consulate bodies, energetically insisted upon persevering in the search. Their determined movements were not fruitless. Suspicion was directed towards a dragoon of the 4th regiment, who from being a poor man with nothing but his soldier's pay, had suddenly become rich and prodigal, without being alle to explain in a satisfactory manner the origin cf his inexhaustable resources. A search secretly conducted, changed suspicion into certainty by the discovcryof a blue cloth coat on which a button was wanting. The one found in the dead man's hand was compared with the others, and the metal, casting and style were found to be the same. As almost always happens, the murderer bad neglected to destroy the only evidence which could convict him. He was arrested. Strengthened by new proofs, the charges which weighed on the accused had acquired so great a load of evidence that it was impossible to deny his participation in the crime. Nevertheless, all the efforts of the Judge could not move him to confess the details of it, and in the hope, doubtless, that a hidden and powerful protector would shelter him from punishment, he obstinately refused to name his accomplices. Criminal justice is expeditious. The third day after the condemnation, a mournful train entered the street of San Cosmo, and stopped before the mansion in which the deed had been committed. "With his head shaven, bis neck and feet bare, the murderer, hold.ng a lighted taper in his right hand, and attended by a Spanish Franciscan friar, was obliged to kneel upon the thres

hold and ask pardon. Ibis first expiation accom

plished, the train again took up the march through crowds of people, who thronged from the gates of Augustine to the shady walk of the Almeda. They noticed that the condemned sjught to catch from

some one in the multitude, some signal ; but disap

pointed in his expectation, his brow contracted and he

bit his lip with rage. Tins mark of irritation, how

ment's reflection, 4iif you carry with you goods of j ever, was the only one that escapad him for men of

such temperament have a profound disdain for lite.

They kill without pity they die without fear.

Although belonging to the army, the dragoon Antonio, having committed an infamous murder, was not

deemed worthy a soldier's death ; he was condemned

to the garrotte. The garrotte is not unhfcs the guil

lotine, and not more cruel in its operation. It con

sists of a platform elevated about six feet; in the middle is a seat placed against a post, to which an iron collar, half open, is suspended. The executioner,

standing behind the chair passes the collar around

the neck of the condemned, closes it in a twinkling, then turns a screw, inflicting instant death. A Ions

considerable value, I advise you not to take au escort.

for you know that our dragoons too often appropriate to themselves the property they are charged to protect. It would be better to direct Vermout, a French saddler in the street Las Cadcnas, to make a trunk with a false bottom, in which your wife's diamonds and your most valuable articles might be concealed. If you are attacked, open your trunk without hesitation, and abandon to then! its contents, which you should take care to make as trifling as possible." This advice, hazardous as it appeared to be, seemed to Mr. L the only one that it would be expedient to follow. He took leave of the General, and whilst he was going towards the door, Col. Yanez, who during the conversation appeared tobe absorbed in reading, moved his head imperceptibly, and cast on the merchant one keen, rapid glance. The trunk with the false bottom was ordeied from Vermout's. and Mr. L quitted the city of Mexico during the night, riding on horseback by the side of the litter in which Iiis wife and children were, a number of arrieros guarding the mules laden with the baggage. The little caravan reached Puebla without accident, resting there for two days, and again setting forth at sunset bn the evening of the third. They, saw shining in the distance the gigantic peak of OrizabA, crossed the plain of Acajita, and arrived safely at the mountain gorge which terminates it. This is a narrow, dark ravine, at the extremity cf which different paths meet. For a long time this ravine has had a bad reputation, and five or six white stones, surmounted by crosses, which rise here and. there, attest that it has not been undeserved. According to the custom of the Spanish mulettecrs, the arrieros, half asleep on their mules, tang the well known aif Del Caballo : "Mi mvger e mi caballo, Se muneron en ui titrnpo." Mr horse and mjr wife Vied tbe am day.

What was the'.r surprise when many sonorous voices.

mingling with theirs, continued the couplet by these

iwo lines s - "Qae muger y qui iemonld El caballo es to que siento." It is not the wife, but by the der it It is ibe hone that I legrer.

They had not time however, to reflect very long on this strange incident, fot the caravan was almost im

mediately surrounded by a score of brigand, issuing, as if by enchantment, from the ravine. .Notwithstanding the cries of terror which escaped from the wife, M. L- was not discomposed!; he saw without apparent emotion the robbers upset his baggage and seize his trunk. He presented them the key of it, when one of them, with an expressive gesture showing him his long sharp weapons, skillfully put it between the body bf the trunk and the false bottom, which he at once tore off. The merchant, at first motionless with astonishment, went into a violent rage: but the bandit

. pointing to the shining blade of his knife, said to him in a very soft tone, No useless resistance Senor, if vou love your life." Then turning towards Mine. I. , who, pale with fear, was shield.ng her two children with her body ; have no fears Senora,' he added, " we are cavaliers and know the respect due to ladies." Disdaining to appropriate to themselves articles of trifling value, they limited themselves to seizing the diamonds of Mme. L and some black Californian pearls of considerable value. Returning to Mexico, Mr. L. hastened to make bis deposition, and to relate to the judge all the circumstances of this singular robbery. It was very evident that the attack had been premeditated. Now two men only had been informed of the false bottom contrived in Mr. L s trunk ; General Santa Anna and the French sadler, Vermout. The latter was arrested in consequence, but to the accusation against him he opposed the clearest and most minute explanations. Every thing combined to show his innocence, his nirh

reputation for honesty, his solitary life, the testimony of his neighbors which proved that he had not left

Mexico on the day of the robbery nor on those preceding it. In consideration cf these facts undeniably

es.aD.isnea, vermout was set at liberty, and the real

insiigaior or me robbery was vet undiscovered.

This event was not yet forgotten when the rumor was

circulated that a murder had just been committed in

broad davltht, in the house of the Swisa Consnl. M.

. Maigret, not far from the palace of the former viceroy.

Count de Galvez. At first no one gave credit to this

news, Decause the street San Cosmo, on which hi.

ilaigret a residence was situated, is one of the most

frequented in the city. What added still more to the impossibility of the story was, that at noon, the hour when. they said the murder had been committed. M.

Deffaudis, minister from France, Mr. Tackenham, the

Lnglish envoy, with several of their colleagues had met at a morning party given at a mansion directly opposite that of the Swiss Consul. The report was, however, but too true. The assassins had entered

the house by the street door, they had seized the In-

oian servant, nzs only domestic, racked and bound him

firmly ; then they had rushed On the Consul, whom

me noise or the struggle had attracted to the spot.. M. Maigret, although taken by surprise, had opposed

to his murderers a terrible resistance. There were

MCrK uu "ij:iiui wounua m ms lempie, and on his breast. And thy drew from the clenched band of the corpse a metal button, harming to a piece of

curtain descending at the same moment from the top of the post, envelops the dying man completely. Arrived before the scaffold, the prisoner again cast a lingering gaze on the crowd ; then shaking his head

as though he had lost his last scruple with his list hope, he turned towards an officer, and with a loud, distinct voice, said i4 Scnor, my principal accomplice,

uie cniei ui our oinu. is a. xanez, me aia-ue-camp

of Gen. Santa Anna." I his unexpected disclosure

excited as much surprise as distrust. How could they

believe that the most distinguished officer in Mexico, the intimate friend of Santa Anna, the lover of his sister Dolorez, was a highway robber, an assassin ! However impossible the fact miht appear, the au

thorities were determined to clear up the mystery. The execution of Antonio was consequently delayed. The General, Count Jose de la Cortina, then Governor of the city, ordered the officer, Capt. Ologaza, to the residence of Yanez. A search Ithere led to. very .important discoveries the seizure of a mysterious correspondence in cypher, a quantity of jewelry, of valuable articles of every kind, the greater part of which were afterwards recojrnized as belonins to Mr. I plundered a month before, on the road to Vera Cruz. The eame day, Yanez was arrested, when going out of the Government Falace, and confined in the public

prison. Things were in this condition, when a lady enveloped in a black silk mantle, her face covered with a thick veil-, presented herself at the house of the magistrate, Capt. Ologaza. The unknown visiter employed all the resources of her mind, words of winning persuasiveness and eloquent tears, to interest the Judge in the fate or Yänez, and to prevail upon him to destroy the evidence a jrainpt him. . She even went

so far as to offer him 30.U0J piastres; but the soldier repulsed this offer with indignation, although he might have easily recognized by her melodious voice aud brilliant beauty, the 6ister of the President, la Senora Dona Dolorez. A week had not elapsed, W hen Capt. Ologaza. seized with violent pains after breakfasting, died in frightful convulsions, which left no doubt in the minds of the physicians called in, that he had been poisoned. The crime proceeded no further, but the secret in

fluences continued: Seduced by the offer of five hun

dred ounces of gold, the clerk of the unfortunate judge

consented to withdraw the papers which compromised

i anez. lint he bad no sooner eflected bis purpose,

than a vague remorse seized him, and he went to re

late all to his confessor. The - Priest refused him ab

solution, threatening bim with eternal perdition if he did not replace the sto'en papers. The clerk, in dis

may, obeyed the command, but was unable to return

the bOOO piastres td the mysterious giver, whose name

he knew not, and whose face he had not seen. The

second Judge, Col. Don Jose Calvo, who was charged

to proceed with the case commenced by Ologaza, was

a courageous and honest man. He was a Spaniard,

born at Havana, and had fought with honor in the

wars of the Peninsula. Made prisoner by the French

and kindly treated by them during bis captivity, he retained a grateful recollet tion of France. He w as

anxious to prove to the diplomatic corps, and partico

larly to M. Deffaudis, who, as Minister from France,

was by treaty specially bound to protect Swiss residents, that Mexico was also a land of justice and

civilization. , Not that he was blind to the danger of his position. Although Santa Anna, tvith accustomed dissimulation, had effected absolute indifference in the circumstances, yet Colonel Calvo wrb not ignorant that Yanez had been his aid-de-camp and his friend. He remembered that General Valencia, commander of the department, when informed, a few minutes after the assassination, that two of the suspected murderers had taken refuge in a tavern in the suburbs, had replied " Que Ins dfjen, Ins pobrecito," let them go, the poof wretches !" In fine, the fate of his predecessor, poisoned by a drug mixed in a cup of chocolate, was assuredly of a nature to make him reflect. There was peril, but there was devotion too. As to Yanez, the good fortune of his life of liberty followed him to prison. He had received these numerous marks of interest, find the day after his arrest, his jailor had delivered to him a small nöte, on which was traced in a feminine hand the three words, Courage, Love, Hope." He learned besides, through the same bidden agency, that the papers which proved his guilt had been withdrawn from the package and without doubt destroyed. In the absence of these proofs, the confessions of Antonio ; alone could, by enlightening justice, arm against him its severities. But Yanez m"?r doubted that at the sight of his Chief, Antonio wou.d retract. In fact, what could he gain by making tAO victims 1 This conviction strengthened Yanez against all fear,

and never perhaps had he appeared more completely

master ot himseu, than on the day when he appeared before his judges. '

Scarcely had he taken his place on the prisoner s

bench, when Antonio come to seat himself there with six other accomplices whose arrest had taken place.

I3y a movement either voluntary or intentional, i anez

recoiled with disgust, and without saving a word, fixed upon this false brother, who hud betrayed his

chief to the executioner, without having for his

information even the excuse of his own interest a

look so full of withering contempt and indignation.

that Antonio, stupified, stammered forth some unintelligible replies to the pressing interrogatories of the

judge, lurned pale, then red, and striking the bar with

hia clenched hand, angrily replied, "1 will say nothing, I know nothing my life is yours, take iL" Yanez believed himself saved.' He did not know that the letters found in his house had been replaced in the package by the clerk. So he confined himself to scornful denials, and when Colonel Calvo "displayed the enormity of the crimes imputed to him, holding him forth as a robber chief, an assassin, planning

murder, and from afar puttting in motion the hands which executed it, Yanez replied by a cold wnile to these terrible words. Then don Jose Calvo exhibited the fatal papers. This was like a thunder-bölt. The doubt which had seized the minds of the judges, gave place to deep conviction. The sentence of the" Court Martial, given amidst profound silence, doohied Yanez and his 6even accomplices to death. A shriek, the thrilling anguish of w hich no words can describe, followed the reading of the sentence. As to Yanez, lie preserved all his firmness. "Man condemns, and God absoles !" said he ; and rising he saluted his judsres. Three days after a countless multitude composed of Leperos and Indians thronged the plain on which the instruments of punishment had been erected. An altar was placed at the right of the scaffold. The balconies on those streets which icti to the place Were filled with high-born dames among whom it was easy to distinguish Dona Dolorez by her beauty and her paleness. Very soon appeared a party cf alguazils in black robes, with heavy carbines, preceding ' the Brotherhood of the Dying." A capuchin, bare-footed, girt about by a rope, reciting with a low voice the penitential psalms, walked near Antonio and the other prisoners, each of which had a crucifix in his hands.

Yanez who had fainted w hen leaving the prison, was

borne on a mule, led I r one of the inferior officers.

As this frightful train approached, Dona Dolorez

convulsively pressed between her fingers the beads of

her rosary, and when it passed beneath her balcony,

she leaned her head over the balustrade, gazed anxiously on her lover, and remarking his fixed eyes

and marble like countenance, exclaimed with a burst

of wild joy

'No, Yanez. the executioner shall never touch

thee living." Then drawing from the folds of her

dress, a poignard, she raised her arm to strike herself

with it, when her husband, a grave, ster.i man, who, standing behind her, had observed with attention every movement, grasped her arm, siying coldly, you have the right to live now that he is dead."

Yanez had been poisoned that very morning with

one of those quick poisons so well known to the

Mexican Indians, which kill almost instantaneously.

This was the last proot of love, which he had received from Dolorez. His corpse was nevertheless carried

upon the scauold betöre Antonio, who submitted to

his fate with marvellous intrepidity. They say that Santa Anna, who did not leave his palace during the whole day, imitating Louis XIII., said to General Valencia, pointing to the sky, dark with filtering

clouds

" Our dear Yanez will have unpleasant weather to

die in."

By means of a considerable sum, Dona Dolorez

obtained permission of the archbishop to have the body

ot 1 anez buried in the garden ot ban rernando.

A Newspaper Establishment The following article, which we find in the Boston

Tran-icript, gives some idea of the nature of a newspaper establishment, and, although the Londun Times

is an extreme cae, may serve as a w-arning to tho:e who are so ready now-a-days, with little or no capital

to embark in d responsible and costly undertaking:

. i'ersons are apt to think that it is an easy matter

to establish a paper, and many individuals have tried the experiment to their heart's and purse's cost. Observe the friatiy deaths that have taken place of late

years with newly started literary periodicals and small

journals, and when you ask the cause it is the want"

ot lunu-j a vital disease with newspapers, and akin

to the want of .breath with the human constitution. We have been 'led to tiles' brief remarks by seeing in a .foreign journal, an enumeration of the

expenditures of. the London . Times; the largest

paper in the world, circulating probibly the greatest number of conies. It is emnhatlcallv a profitable Da-

1 4 per too, and this cannot be said to any extent of our

American journals.

The statement to which we have alluded, has re

spect to the receipts as well as the expenditures, and

commences with the editorial expenses, which amount

veekty to ,w ; then follows the salaries of correspon

dents, JLJ ; 1'arliainentary reporters, (twenty . in

numhc, j5 each per week) ,100; scientific, fine arts and literary reporters, 1 : penny-a-liners (reporters cf the occurrences of the day in London , Viz : Eres,

murders, curiosities, &c.) 21 ; for. extraordinary information from authors of celebrity, per week 30; law and police courts' reporters (several in number)

per week JEv). The whole of their expenses for Ute rary matter amounts per week to 3( U. v

The expenses of printing and composition weekly

amounts to 2D0; the expenses for the managing clerks, book-keeping, eVc, 'G; adding to it the

interest upon capital sunk by Ute establishment for II i 1 m .a

Dunning, inacninery, type, ö:c., amounts to me sum,

weekly, of 1,100 ; therefore per annum of JFo,000i

or $2oO,tOO. The payments to government for stamps

and advertisement duty ,L.,l 00,

The budget of receipts of the same journal is as follows: In the years 13-12-43, 6,000,000 copies were

sold per annum, amounting to about 125,000, or SGCO.OUO. The entire expenditure, with the excep

tion of the paymeut to Ute Government for. stamps

etc., amounts to gWGo.OU).

It appears that the annual profits derived from it amount to. 240,000, without the profits derived from

the advertisements, of which no account is given, but

the average number of each copy of the limes con

tains from about 7tJ0 to 1000 announcements; 4,000

to 7,00t) per week, and annually iXB.OT'O to 364,000 announcements. It has also been calculated, that

430,000 typographical lettirs are used to each copy

on an average, and each such copy, divided into octa

vo pages, will form a volume of Ü00 pages, u that the 0,OO0,0C0 impressions of the Times annually in circulation would form a library of 6,000,000 volumes in octavo. The niimbcr of letters received pqr day at the Times office amounts upon an average to 130, making annually äs many as 40,000 ! We find, however, no calculations for the time spent in their examination. . The Times newspaper is a "great fact" in the history of journalizing, requiring cöiistaiit activity (mental and physical) to sustain it, and exerting an immense influence. In our own country, not a paper can be compared with it, and yet, as we have said, our American journals arc attended with tremendous expenses.. When we hear the birth of a. new paper we wonder at the moral courage of the editor in giving it a being, and if it survive to its second year, we aire ready to cry a miracle ! DECLivrrr of Rivers.

A Traitor's Reward. The following version of

a Well known fact is related in the Journal and Letters of the late Samuel Curweu, himself a Tory and a refugee from America : ' .- . In the House of Commons, March 20, 1782, Lord Surrey happening to espy Arnold, the American seced

ing General, in the llonsc, sent him a message to depart, threatening in case of refusal, to move for; breaking up the gallery ; to which the General answered that he was introduced by a member ; to which Lord Surrey replied he might hnder that condition 6tay if he would promise never to enter it again, with which General Arnold complied. This is the second instance of public d.srepect he has met with ; the King having been forced to eiigage h.'s royal word not to employ or pension him ; a just reward "for treachery, which is ever odious. Gatstt. There are two kinds of gayety : the one arises from vant of heart ; being touched by no pity, sympathising with no paid even of its own causing, it shines and glitters like a frost-bound river in the gleaming sun. The other spring from excess of heart ; that is, from a heart overflowing with kindliTierA towards- all men and all things ; and suffering tinder ho superadded grief, it is light from the happiness which it causes from the happiness which it sees. This may be compared to the came river, fark ling and 6miling under the sun of summer, and running on to give felicity and increase to all within and even to many beyond its reach. How singular and terrible circumstances can alter a man's mind, and change the color of his thoughts'. One passion may become so furiously triumphant over bis whole nature, as to 6ilcnce and swallow op every other feeling in his heart;
