FURTHER FROM-MEXICO We were able last night, on account of the ! lateness of the hour, to give cur Mexican papers but a hasty examination, and we therefore subjoin some further translations this :;fternnon. The Registro Official of Feb. 22, contains a decree of Congress, sanctioned by the acting President, Bustamente, granting a pension of S3000 per annum to citizen Bernardo Gonzales Angulo. A pension of S30C0 has also been granted to the wife and daughter of Guerrero. The same paper has a long article in reply to the Mexican Federalist, which appears to have maintained that Guerrero was unlawfully condemned and executed: that he was constitutionally President of the Republic at the time of his death; having been driven from his station (in Dec. 1829) by force of arms; ar.d therefore, that in resisting the present usurped government, he was doing no more thin he was entitled to do by virtue of his office. from te St. Louis Beacon. The Globe and the Telegraph aie carrying on a controversy which at Rome points, seems to touch a question which the public mind, in this quarter, is not yet prepated to consider : it is that of the succession to fir esident Jackson.This, we consider, a premature question, even to be ailuded to, for as to the successor to president Jackson, in 1836, it will be time enough to think ol that about lour years hence; and as to the succession in we apprehend that president Jackson will be his own suc cessor. This we take to be the senti ment of republicans in this quarter ; and, in the mean time, no p-entleman can do less to recommend himself to the succession, at any time, than to agitate it nov)s either through himself or his friends; by direct discussion, or by allusion and implication. The patriot president is wanted for another term. He has been too much thwarted and embar rasscd thus far Congress has not been to him what the Union is, two to one, in his tavor. The elections will rectify this discrepancy It will put congress and the people in unison in suppport of the great measures which the public good requires, and which it will b: the crowning glory of Jackson to carry into effect Unanimity among his real friends, then, without mixing themselves in the subal tern discussions which may grow up in the ranks of the party for the succession, is the true conduct of every genuine fr ie id to Jackson; arid by that conduct will his real friends be known, and reach ly distinguished from those who retain he name of Jackaonians for the covert and hidden purposes of doing that mis chief as professed friends which they could not perpetrate as open enemies. ST LOUIS. MARCH 4 By a letter, dated Upper Missouri, 1st uitimo, we learn that a parly of whites, (about fifty in number) under the com mand of Mr H. Vanderburgh, in the employment of the American Fur Com panv. and which set out from the mouth of Yellow Sone the past summer, was attacked last fall by a large party of Blackfeet Indians, on Madison river, one of the lower forks of (he Mis ,otiri. The loss of the whites was one killed h two wounded -eleven horses killed and fifty wounded. The loss sustained by tne B.ackfeet is stated lobe between 30 and fotty killed, the number wounded not known, but suppsed to be great trom the quantity of blood spilt. The fight is said to have been commenced in the morning and continued until night, when the Indi ans withdrew. In speaking of a recent depredation commixed by the .iriccarees, he remarks IF something is not done with these infernal scoundrels, there will be no security for either life or property in this co miry."

A distruciive fire occurred at George town, at an early hour yesterday morning, by which much property was consumed, and which caused no little ahrrn fo the inhabitants. It commenced in the house of the Rev. Dr Batch, opposite to what are called Cox's buildings, and before it could be got under, ha J totally destroyed the Doctor's residence, together with the four adjoining dwelling houses. The cause cannot be well ascertained, but it is believed to have originated in the drawing-room, where it is supposed he fire had not been sufficiently extin guished thenighi previous It was first discovered by the watchman who pa trolcs that part of the town, between 3 and 4 o'clock, A. M who observed vo lumcs of smoke and Rime to issue from the front windows. LEAD. The price of this article here, is two dollars per one hundred pounds. It is our belief that a considerable rise in the price will .ake place dining the present season. We are warranted in this belief, from the fact of the gradual rise of price in New. York and elsewhere. The in creased demand for the article, together with the small amount made, has lessen ed the amount in market ; and as the demand for sheet, white, and red lead, and pipe for various uses increases, so will the demand of lead increase the vah col it here. Messrs. Parker Cc Tiltcn have in operation, as has been noticed heretofore, a rolling machine, for the purpose of manufacturing sheet lead ; and Mr Parker, one of the fi m, who is now absent, it is understood, will brine with him ma chinery for manufacturing pipe out of lead.

Gazette. From the Philadelphia Inquirer. A CLACK LAW According to the Boston Patriot, by the amendment to the marriage bill, pro posed by Mr. Bigelow, of Boston, and passed in the house ol representatives on Saturday, it is made lawful for any au thorized person to join in marriage any negro, mulatto, or Indian, to any white person. Formerly, the law imposed a penalty on any one so marrying, and the. marriage itself was declared both null and void. We look upon this amendment as one of the most revolting and derogatory that could have been enacted by an intelligent legislature. That enlightened lawgivers shonle travel out of the way to legalize matrimony between the black and white population, especially in Massachusetts, where, according to the late census, there are fourteen thousand more females than males, is a circumstance cf the most "unnatural dye," and one tha; should meet with the reprehension of al. the other states A terrible outcry was justly raised against such a proposition, when, as alleged, it emanated from Miss W right ; but now that it is legally sane tioned by the wise ones of the east," the obloquy should justly be visited upon that body. (Sommcrcfgl itejjort fko:.i the Louisiana Advertiser, of march 19th, Iblil. General Remarks. The weather during the week has been variable; warm, cool, disagreeably wet, and unfavorable for outdoor business. Our market, generally spenk ing, is well supplied with foreign merchandize and domestic produce required here, and a fair business has been done; still commerce is more or less cramped by the want of shipping. We find many intelligent merchants of the opinion, that an immediate addition of fifty square rigged vessels averaging three hundred tons each, would not be sufficient to receive the produce now hand and waiting for shipment. The Misissippi has risen, since our last, nine inche-, and was yesterday noon tv.enty-one inches below ordinary high water mark, and is expected to continue rising for some time. COTTON The sales cf the week have b-en more extensive than for the same ti ne during the season, and are estimated at full sixteen thousand bales of Louisiana and Missippi, of all descriptions, ut our last quota tions, so as to average near 8 1-15 a H 1-8 cents. Using the Liverpool classifications, we quote tor this description as before, viz: Ordinary, 7 a 7 1-4 Middling. 7 1-2 a 8 F3ir. 8 1-4 a 8 1-2 Good fair. 8 3 4 a 9 Good and fine, 9 1-4 a 10. As observed in our last, 'the stock of Tennessee and Ala bania's still continue to increase The sales cf the week have been small and unimpor tant, and the principal operations were confined to shipping on owners account. There is a respectable amount in store, limited At over the value that purchasers are willing to give, which causes this description to be neglected. SUGAR, (Louisiana) of ordinary merchantable quality, is dull on the plantation and in the city, at five cents per lb. very choice occasionally commands more. MOLASSES We have been unaWr to hear of anv heavy transaction, and quo'e as before, at fourteen cents asked, for that near the city. Planters at a conH'irrable distance up the river arc often compelled to sell lower, m order to meet the expenses ct shipping towed by steamboats, when desirous to make a crop sale. TOBACCO The high price of freights depressed this article very much, and keeps rnanv regular and old purchasers from ven turing at the asking rates. We have, in our 1 inquiry, heard of over one hunditd hhds., i crossed and seconds, chan 'ine ovvners at i few holders willing to sell at Si 87$, at i which we quote. What it may be worth a week, nence is entirely uncertain. Heavy 1 arrivals and forced sales will nox be favorahie to the improvement of its present value, : which some anticipate.
