9 ^ ..... *cr. From the N. O. Picayune, April, 8. ., 'HIE LATEST FROM MEXICO. f The schr. Creole, Capt. Allen, arrived last ^ niuhUtoin Vera Cruz, having sailed on the 30th ult., three days later than our previous advices. s A mail from the city of Mexico reached Vera Cruz the morning of the '29th, bringing dates to 2'ith from that city, and to the 2Gth from Puebla. | The Monitor Republicano of the 25th, announcos the death of Gen. Valencia. He ex- j pired that morning from an a'tack of apoplexy. | This is the officer, our readers will recollect, who was in command of the Mexican troops at j Contreras, and upon whom Santa Anna throws the responsibility of all his reverses in defence of the city of Mexico. The Mexican Congress had not yet assembled.. The Monitor i f the 25th?which we find translated in the Free American?has the following remarks on the subject: As yet Congress docs not assemble. The Representatives of tho Mex can Republic, so iudiflcrent to the public interst cannot appreciate the honor which the nation has done them to elect them to the high position they bold. Private interest ought not to detain them from their sacrel duties; men who know the importance of the questions which Congress is called upon to decide questions of life or death for the country. An egotism out of measure re, or a very reprehensible cowardice, can be the only motives which detain these men, who abandon their country in the hour of danger, and when its destinies are confided to them. Tiie, court of inquiry was still in session, havmg before it the case of Gen. Pillow, but we Lavu none of our coirepondence by this arrival. W'e copy from the Frpe Am srican of the 30th its abstract of the news from the interior: SAx Louis and Guadalajara.?The Nolicioso of the 26th inst., published in Pttebla, says: * The letters which we have received from these places and from Queretaro agree in staling that the spirit of revolution was fomenting, and was t iking n serious aspect. This revolution is said , ~ L-J %,l D.?r?wLe owla/1 litr Stinln \ mm Hi HtJ liruucu %>J 1 txICU? a, ?iu? u and monarchies. One of our friends in Sari Luis w cites as follows: "We continue to be in tranquility; but it is p said that Don .Mariano Parades is now concealed iiHhis city, and that at every moment a pronunrtibtltrnto is expected to take place, in the style'of the one Santa Anna directed and established here on the 12lh of Januay last. The Government of this State despatched a commissioner, Don Francisco Estrada of the Epoca, to Querataro, to negotiate a permission for Para, des to res'de in this city; but nothing could be ' worse than this permission, for reasons which I wiil enumerate bv the next courier. From Guadalajara we learn, in reference to the monarchists, that they are very bol!. The high clergy protects them, and it is supnosed that Fathhr Barajas is the soul of this plot. Bishop Aran la is igno-ant of these intrigues, but ,vre will send bim a number of our paper, praying him to inquire info the matter, and il the culpabili y of Father Barrajara is proved, to biry bim in a prison, even were il a canonical dungeon, for the mission of clergymen is to preach the goqiel, to do charitable acts instead of being tho leaders of conspirations and rcvolu. tions. 'ilft Monitor ofthe 23.1 says that the diligence which arrived at Mexico 011 the 231 had been robbed at a place called Cuantlancijo, about two leagues from Puebla. The diligence encoun. lered after thi? a party of Texans, who advised S^osq. in the diligence to be on tlm look out, as " they had had a fight with the robbers at Agua del Venerable, in which they had lost one of theij companions; but at a short distance from S.tn Martin Tcsmclucan, on the Mexico side, sftinrt rohhers. who on other occasions had robbed it anJ attacked it again. On reaching Agtia del Venerable, the pasa 'ngers who came in the diligence, report that the? saw the dead Texian lying in the middle of the road. The authorities ofTanaupoIta called on Gen. Butler for protection against the Indiana. Some troops have left the city of Mexico, for the object of clearing the road of the robbers who infest it from Puebla to Mexico. Gen. Rea addressed a communication to the editors of the La Reforma, in which he says that he has been calumniated in the report put ; in circulation, that he had pronounced against j tbo Government. It is rumored that Col. Hays and his regiment are on their way to Vera Cruz. La Reforma, a paper published in Puebla, sayiron the 25ih inst. Gen. Scott will arrive in this city, probably tomorrow, on his way to the j United States. It is also said that all the volun* | teers in the American army will soon leave the republic; all we know is, that yesterday 17,. 000 rations were caused to be deposited here. It is also said that Mr. Trist will arrive with G m. Scott. Although we do not believe this story we announce it. We would like to know what influences the absence of the commission, er will have on the ratification or rejection of me ireaiy. We liave before us the Monitor of Mexico of ( the 25th, in which not a word is said of the pro- i jected departure of (?en. Scott. The court of inquiry was still hearing the -testimony in the ease of Gen. Pillow. Major Burns, who claims the authorship of the "Leonidas" letter, was under examination. | The papers of the interior are full of accounts 1 j ^fthe assassinations and robberies committed, ("j It is intimated that the design of sending Col? | Hays's command towards the coast is to clear the !i ne from Mexico to Vera Cruz of tho rob. , hers which infest it.

It i? somewhat singular, though tho Administration by many is r made to appear at fault, that but one member t of Congress has openly, and in his place ( (Mr. Clingham.) spoken in his defence! If the ? Whig Natio nl Convention were over, we 'I t might discover a dozen Scott champions, at f least. But there may tie policy in silence, in C this particular. Political capital might accrue to him; and as the Whigs in Kentucky, elected Major Caines while he was a piisouer, so ti might a spirit be encouraged to present the..

Mr. Palfrey, of Massachusetts, th novod to reconsider the vote by which was is uissed yesterday, the resolution congratulating ci France on having consolidated republicanism lie was very earnest in his laudation of resectable "colored" citizens, of that Stale, and B n a pathetic view, alluded to a "charming boy," si ivlio was said to be a good scholar. "If my hi :on, who was his companion," said he, "had ui not treated him with every demonstration of ei respect and good will, I would not feel tor him ai he esteem and confidence which I now do." But the boy died. Mr. Johnson, of Tennessee, asked leave to e: propound a question: "Would you have been a willing thai this "charming boy" should have o married your daughter?" si Mr. Palfrey was somewhat staggered for a ci * ~ . r reply. Ho remarked that the practice of a g community did not come up to its theory, and H that he would introduce no person into his fa- tr milv who would he disagreeable to them or to b his friends. a This occasioned laughter, long and loud, a and when it subsided, d Mr. Bayly, of Va. addressed the House, in b reply to Mr. Ashmun, of Massachusetts, who h said yesterd iy that that State would not inter- d fere with slavery in the states, as she was willing to abide by the compromises of the consti- c tutiou. Mr. Bayly referred to the enactment a of the law by Massachusetts, which prohibited r persons from interfering in the arrest of a fugitive slave, under a heavy penalty, as an argument that Massachusetts was not sincere in the p avowal of the n m-intervention sentiment; and h he pointed to the constitution of the United p States, the act of 1792, and the decision of the \ Supreme Court, in justification of the reclanrja- e tion of fugitives. He told several anecdotes. I d A free negro had settled on land belonging to c him in Ohio, and on bearing that abolitionists il in that State were ahout to purchase it, came to 1 him and begged him to make a provision in the <1 deed tor his protection, "for," said hs, 4,if you a do not these pretty fellows will undertake to op- tl press me and take my crops." This black man was emancipated in North Carolina. He ceased to be a slave there, and was a slave to v the "community at large in a free Slate. Mr. p Bayly remarked that was told free negroes tl would not go into (Jidding's district* They t preferred selling where former residents of Vir- d ginia and Kentucky, lived. If Mr* (Jiddingsor p Mr. Ashmun, or any other abolitionist, should ? go into the neighborhoods of the free blacks, tl they would be as anxious to get rid of them as i the people of the South would. p Then there arose a question of veracity be- u ? ? ? ? n i _ mi r _ tween nir. Asnmun ana .?ir. nayiy. j ne i<?rmcr accused the latter of making a personal assault, which Mr. Bayly denied. There was a r good deal of excitement, which however, terrni- j( nated without a prospect of a resort to the duello. t The motion to reconsider the vote by which i the resolution congratulating France was pass- J ed, was laid on tee. table. It is realy siekning. The abalitionists are continually throwing their disgusting and in. n cetidiarv sentiments into the debates of (Jon. n gress. They are men of "one idea." They 8 never fail to receive the castigalion which their u co d ict so well deserves. ti lit the Senate, Mr. Dayton, a Whig, from v New Jersey, replied to the remarks of Mr. Webster, who so strenuously opposed on a firmer occasion the acquisition of territory and the ad- |( dition of new States CAPITOL. a ??? i From the N.
