By the arrival of the fine schr. Doric, from Tampico* (ye have receivcdlaler advices from Mexico.—Oiir dales now come down to the 27ih July. - We, give below translations of the letter of President Busiamcnte, and the proclamation of Gen. Valepcia, showing that there was 'continual fighting in the city nf Mexico to the latest dales. . _/ ■,,‘ 1 , The Mexican Government Diario of the 25th July, officially announces that Hie proclamation of the Federal leader Farias, issued the day previous, is not true in its statement that the Central troops are not wilting to light fur the Government. - Farias states that “they merely intend to maintain in their position in line, and 'are adverse and cannot be forced to storm the advocates of the constitution of’24.*’ This, the Government paper denies, and- avers that ,lhe regular troops are not only brave, but are ready for conflict. - . . , •; According to the Central prints, every section of the Republic.is preparing to pour in troops for the rescue of the capitol from the Bands of the insurgents. : ' : :/';/■!' Puebla sent a detachment—another .arrived from Tabuca—all tho troops at Mfcfiordan were proceeding with forced marches.* uadaloupe Victoria was proceeding with all his'disposable force from Vera Cruz. Col. Cortazar, with 400 infantry and 200 horse, was pressing on from Leon. Santa Anna was using all his influence, and means to enlist two regiments near Puebla, and was to push for the capitol as soon as he could embody his men. The following are the conditions on which Gen..Urrca proposed to conclude an nrmistic, and which President Bustamentc says were inadmissible: ’ ; 1st. Both armies shall retire to positions wiihout the walls of the city. 2d. It is deemed proper by both armies, the Constitutional law of IS3G, shall be annulled. 3d. A convention shall be called to. form a new constitution, which shall be in force immediately. 4th. The election of tho members lolhc Convention shall be elected in ihc samo manner as deputies to Congress arc elected. 5thJ The actual President shall form a Provincial Government, he being the chief, until the preceding articles shall be fulfilled. 6th. No person shall be molested on account of Ins political opinion expressed from tho year 1S24 to this dale. Of course their persons, property, and occupations shall be inviolate. 7th. In order that tho flist article shall have effect, the Government shall afford the necessary means to both armies. The Governor of the Department of 3Icxico, on the 20th of July, issued a notice to all persons coming to the city with provisions, Ac. that while tho Federalists held possession of the strong places, they-need not pay the accustomed duty. Tho Government Bulletin of 31st July, has the following postscript:—After our form was made up, we learned from an undoubted source, that tbo insurgents have demanded the furniture and gold and silver plate of the Holy Cathedral,' with a threat that they would take it by'force, unless their demand was civilly complied with in two hours. Alraorte writes to Tampico under the Mexican date July 18, that the President had certain notice that Urrcahad fled in the direction of Puc-i bla—but other accounts render this improbable. The British packet Seagull left Tampico on the 25th for London, with $753,657 in specie; and on tho 27lh the sloop of war Rover left for Jamaica with $506,000 in silver. The folio wing letter from President Bustaraenie to Gen. Arista, tho Tampico editor says he has been permitted by tbc latter gentleman to Jay before his readers: ,

Soldiers— Who yet remain under the standard of rebellion—hear for the last time, an invilation, truly generous. Your leaders, without the mosl remote hope of success, are urging you on to inevitable ruin. I say (his to you—and I cannot be mistaken. They urge you to destruction, that they may, perhaps, keep their own necks out of the halter. Open your eyes to the truth, and be not the victims of deception.

GABRIEL VELENCIA. July 24th 1840.

Sketches of lha ,civil and military services of W. H. Harrison, published by Todd & Drake, under the sanction of tho Harrison committees of Cincinnati and Louisville. Quotation page 24. “The powers conferred upon the Governor of Indiana territory were extensive and multifarious —tho people have no voice in the management of their affairs. The duty of organizing: all the civil institutions belonged to the Governor;** and by the ordinance of Congress of 1767, Governors of Territories were invested with the power of vetoing all Lilia passed by the legislative council. This book was sanctioned by Gen. Harrison as beiag authentic. ■ Now let us suppose a case or two,that might arise out of this law; For instance, a poor widow, with a helpless family of children, to procure a iivelihood for herselfand theiD,shouldj upon a small capital, commence selling ale, porter, or General Harrisons favorite beverage, hard cider; and she should sell to some unprincipled informer a pint or a quart of cider; she is prosecuted and convicted, and fined in a sum which she cannot pay; she is sold perhaps to that very, informer; and taken into his house as-hts slave; she is dragged from her children who are left.lo starve—the yearnings of nature induce tier to quit her service in order to provide for them; she is taken before a magistrate, who orders her- to be stripped, tycdto the whipping post, and flogged, by mfliciing-on her 39 stripes on the bare back; and then taken hack to her master, and there have her time of slavery doubted upon her, two days for every one so tost; and all this -under a law made, or sanctioned, by a man who is held up as the poor nian’s friend and protector. ‘ It cannot bo urged in extenuation of theTy: ranoy of such law, that it was made when General Harrison was but a young man—unexperienced in the world—for in 1821 he advocated the same principle in the Legislature of .Ohio, where a person trotting a horse over bridge, beiog ignorant'of the law; would be subject to a fine, or imprisonment lor the same—be sold—retaken, whipped, and made to serve two days for every one that ho had absented himself.from the service of his master; and at a still later date, in his brawl in the street with Charles Hale, he defended the principle, and asserted that he was right in sanctioning the law in Indiana. Who can say, that if his favorite sedition law had been in existence, and he President of the United States, or a member of Congress, he would not have had Hale tried under it, for attempting to say ho was wrong, and punished with its utmost rigor! Who, we ask, is the honest inconsiderate man (hat would invest such a man with the powers with which the ConstRu? iron invests tho President of the United States!

General Harrison has been given out by his supporters to be the candidate of the poor man, and the poor man’s friend. It is for the people to judge how far this character of the man is correct; ho held tho power of preventing laws so unjust, and so oppressive to be passed, laws awarding a punishment so disproportionate to the offence; the ordinance of Congress giving him tho veto power. But the General seems to take great merit 10 himself by professing to veto, no Bill which Congress would pass—Ihfts throwing away one of the most important provisions of the Constitution, which enables the President to prevent the enactment of any law that Congress, from hasty and inconsiderate legislation, or some worse motive, might attempt to have enacted.

PENAL STATUTES

Of Indiana under ilia Territorial Government, for a violation of which, men ana women were made liable to be sold into slavery, or subject to other unnatural punishments. Passing a person over a river, within five miles of an established ferry. •Selling leer, ale, or cider, by any quantity less than two gallons. Committing trespass by assault and battery. Failing to attend a regimental or battalion muster, armed and equipped, asdirectcd by law. A militia man to in=u!t any officer whilst on parade. Selling spirituous liquors without license. An overseer neglecting or refusing to accept an office to which he has been appointed. Tavern keepers failing or neglecting to put up a list of rates of charges for the entertainment of travellers, in the most public room in his house.

I, WILLIAM J. BROWN, Secretary of Stale for the State of Indiana, do hereby certify that the foregoing is a true and Correct statement of the votes given for Governor and Lieutenant Governor at the lata annual election, taken from tho official returns now on file in my‘office. - Id testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of State at Indianapolis, the tenth day of August, 1840. WM. J. BRWON. Secretary of State.

But let us suppose another case that might readily occur, which would arise out of the law against' bigamy: - A young woman marries aman whose business is to be employed on a steam boat. In one of his voyages an accident happens, in which she has heard and believes her husband has lost his life; and he docs not appear for some years, perhaps, less than seven. She is poor and may have children* (o provide for. She, reputed to be a widow, has an offer of marriage by a man who is willing Id support her and her children—necessity obliges her to accept.the offer, and she marries. The first husband appears, and finds her in the possession of another, and being an ill disposed man, had kept his escape a secret from his unfortunate but innocent wife; and prosecutes her for bigamy, and has her subject to the pains and penalties of the infamous law above recited. Is there a man or woman in this community that would not abhor such a. law, and the person or persons who enacted it! Is there a man or woman in this community, with the common feeling of humanity, who, witnessing this sanguinary punishment inflicted upon the unfortunate victim, that would not execrate the author or authors of such a lawl Are such legislators or such a governor fit agents or lawgivers for a civilized, Christian community! General Harrison, in his.letter to the Richmond Whig some time ago, acknowledged the existence of such a law as above stated; but argued that It was only for the punishment of infamous crimes committed by thieves and robbers. Now, we have to learn that .infamous crimes, such as ha alludes wet® ° TB u punished by mere fines;'and, suro we are that the Statute-Book which we examined contains, no such matter;—and tho words of the taws which we have quoted, subject all who commit a breach of any penal law, to(he punishment which we have mentioned.
