PROM MEXICO The Schooner Splendid, Clark, at N. York, from Vera Cruz, brings advices from that

port to the IGth August. Prom the proof

and this army which now presents itself, is ! the vanguard of the great expedition which she has prepared as the result of her arduous labors. It is the last attempt which will be made by that imbecile nation to deprive us cf independence. Soldiers! These perfidious men provokes us to an encounter. They will find, to their sorrow, that you do not shrink from this, but that you are already on the march to accept the challenge. They threaten you with death; but the sharp edge of your swords will infallibly cause them to perish by hundreds, and to bite the soil which they have dared to profane; insomuch that not an individualwill remain to witness the destruction which Ihjir rash enterprise has merited.

My Friends! A delightful field of glory

opens before us, in which we will gather new laurel, valor and constancy; decipline, subordination and order. Such qualities as these cannot deceive us. Always remember that yqu-fight for Independence and Liberty; and letNthose dear names urge you to combat wtvhxdoublc ardor, till the triumph is achicvtr lhat it will be achieved, who can doubt? Soldiers! It is better to dieto die a thousand deaths if possible than to suffer the

hard yoke of oppression, which these tyrants

seek to impose

to what is called pofheness. I see women every dayour of rr.;rc:,aj they say, to their husbands tricked out with better dress, with better looks, and with better humour, to receive strangers, than to receive a husband the rogues persuading the good, easy fool, when they give other men a cleaner tablecloth and a better dinner, that they doit out of love and respect for Aim

Abominable 1 They treat the lord of their affections, the partner cf their bed, the father of their children, worse than any other man. they do indeed there's no denying it. 'Tis all a wicked, prolligatc, cold-hearted lie, and they know it. They call it hospitali ty. Woiseand worse. Hospitality is not ostentation. Hospitality is simple and sincere. No, they want to please a stranger, to deceive him, even for an hour, to appear better off in the w orld, richer and more comfortable than they really ate. They arc secretly tired of home, of that plain, quiet, comlortahle, beautiful decency, which makes home so dear to man. Such women arc sure to be sluts &

hypociitcs, just in proportion to the difference they make between their household and the world, the stranger and the husband. They go slip shod about the house, their caps

rsst at the city of Mexico. We learn from th: papers, that great cxr.itcment prevailed both at Vera Cruz and a. Mexico on the subject of the landing of the Spanish troops. Judging from the enthu v.-Asm manifested in the papers, the Spanijiis have met with no favorable reception at their landing, as has been reported at Havana. The landing was effected at Cabc Rajo. Up to the 1 5'h, nothing had been heard decisively on the subject. The gicatcst contempt is m mi Tested for the smallncss ot the numbers of the Spaniards.

We takegreat pleasure in giving it pbec in the Pal iadium, as wc think the principles advanced by the General no in accordance with the spirit of republicanism. The liberality it dis plays is cei tainly creditable to the author, and must discover to the people that the system of reform has more visionary than it al evil in it, even in the estimation of those on whom it has been made to operate. Indianapolis, 20th. Aug. 1 829. Solomon A Ian waring, Esq. Sin : The mail before the last brought me the information of my removal from the office of Register and of the appointment of Ai thur St. Clair, Esq. to succeed me Apart from the chastisement which my removal indicates, I c o n s ? d er it i io-h', because I have been in ofiice long enough to satisfy any man not over much parsimonious. Besides, my dear sir, you recollect when we were associated together at the formation ol our constitution, I took a firm stand against the doctiinc of appointments duiing good behaviour. I was then a young man, without much experience, hut further reflection and riper yeaiis, even now when my pecuniary interests air concerned, have not changed my mind criajtesubject. But ldolhii.k whcie appointments are limited in their duration, that incumbents ought to be permitted to serve out the time for w hich they are appointed. They accept the ofiice with that expectation, and make their arrangements accordingly, unless some relaxation in duty should make their removal necessary. In mv case. I

Why our half horse, half alligator boys here, jump upon their backs, gouge them, and then ride them ashore with rattlesnakes for whips. A hook and line, indeed ! " Charming pastime, indeed ! delightful country ! Swamps, alligators, rattlesnakes, Sc catfish five feet long ! This trolling for alligators with a hook and line, reminds us of the exploits of the "Giant Angel " of old ; in the same viin as the preceding paragraphc, we give it : "His angling rod a sturdy oak ; His line, a cable that in storms nc-'er broke ; His hook he baited with a dragon's tail.

The Spanish expedition so often announced as preparing at Havana for the invasion of our territory, has at length arrived: and these vile slaves of the greatest of despots have a'ready dared to set their feet upon our soil at Cape Roque. Obstinate in her purpose to reconquer this roun'ry, Spain has not ceased to provide the means for eventually accomplishing it;

For the good of ihe country I heartily wish that some of those fashions might again be revived: such as the fashions of loving home Sc business instead of the tavern; wearing clotl ts of cur own manufacture, and paying honest debts without the compulsion of the law. Some others might be mentioned, as that of keeping childien still on the Sabbath, while at home or at church ; avoiding all unnecessary travelling, labor, or recreation on that holy day Another old fashion is this " that no r.A.. tknll J. 1 I .
