FOREIGN NEWSW, AEraoM MEXIco-SomE RUMbRs A so NEW5. N-w JgiEAs,: Sept.4 - Letters were received in-town yesterday ftomFensacqla-which announced the ar mig ' 31st u oitf the'sloop of ray5ieaf iipfShubiick; from Vra - rizfinm whiicb port sbe had been some 0jimezPtad aWe received nothing by Saratoga, bz: were assured that a let ter from -an officer on board stated explic itly that prior to-the departure of the ship roni Vera Cruz, advices had been re Ceived there from the capital, that Con -id"authorized the President of Mexico to declare var against the United States, and that Gen. Herrera had in coise quence -ordered 15.000 men to the Rio Grande (who had already taken up their line of march for their place of destina tion) and issued orders for raising a much larger - force. Such was the morning's rumor's. At a later hour in the day we were in debted to the courtesy of the editors of the Tropic for a slip containing a letter from their Pensacola correspondent. A posteript to the letter confirms the arrival of the Saratoga, after a passage of thir teen days. It also confirms the election of Gen. Herrera, as reported here by Capt. Gormez, from Tampico. It further states that Mexico does not intend to de clare war against this country. but will exeit her utmost efforts to reconquer Tex as. This is the course of policy so stren uously urged by El Siglo Diez y Nueve. when. the late ministry brought forward. in July, thiir war measures. The Siglo .Ias all along been an earnest advocate if the election of Gen. Herrera. The Tropic's correspondent assigns to Gen. monte a place in the oext ministry, with the portfolio either of Finance or -War-the first most probably." The Tropic's correspondent writes that Com. Conner has no intention has no in tedtion of leaving Pensacola with his fleet 'until ie hears of a declaration of war or ua act of hostility,.by Mexico. He will then sail with his whole squadron to San Iiuan d'Ulua. Till then be will keep one or two vessels on the Texan and Mexican coast, to maintain his communications with Gen. Taylor. We reg.tet to hear that the Saratoga bid soMe sickness on board upon her ar rival. The Lawrence, whose place the Porpoise has gone to supply, was contin ually-looked for at Pensacola. - [Picayune. From the N. 0. Picayone. 5th inst. LATER FROM TEXAS. The steamer Creole arrived at Mobile Ahe. morning of the 3d inst. from. Arransas 'Bay. - We received by her our own cor - respondence from Corpus Christi. and- are indelted to some gentlemen who came passdigers upobhEiff6r s6me verbal items -m ei Christi are up to the evening of the 31st ult., and from Arransas to that of the following day, when the Creole left [or Mobile. Gen. Taylor still remained in his camup, await ing further developements of the designs 'of the Mlexicans, and orders fromt his own Government. The 2d Regitmen' of Dra goons, under Col. Ttw iggs, arrived at Cor pus Christi on tte 26th ult. All were int fine health and spirits Everv thing a bout the camp was pe rfctly quict. At about the same aime as the lira goons, three compnies of Mlexican tra *ders arrived at Gen. Taylor's camp with a g-oodlv number of reports, but upon which little reliance cotuld be placed. One of these reports was, that a regiment of Mexican troops, about 700 strotng, left Tampico six weeks ptrevious ihr Mlatamuo ros, butt their numbers had been retduced to 300 by sickness and desertion on the march, induced by the wvant of food and water- At almost every military post in the North'Eastern part of Mexico deser tions were extremely frequent. Aristtt had been seriously ill at Matamnoros, but had so far recovered as to resume the do --- tics of his comtmand. Getn Parades was reported to be still at Mlentery, but with less than 1500 troops, whbo were continu ally deserting. The reader must receive these reports strictly as repoits; Mexican vews, received through Mexican traders, is proverbially uncertain. The Creole left, outside the bar at Ar E ransas, the U. S. brig Law rence ; all well on board. She also left, at anchor in'.ide the bar. the schooners Mary Wilkes. En terprise, E. L. Lam din. On the 2d inst., at 3 o'clock, P. M., she met the steam -propeller Augusta bound, as wvas suppo -- sed, for Aransas, loaded with horses, &. * ---- The Creole- made the passeage from Ar ~*ransaslBay to the S. WV. Pass in 47 hour. We add a letter from a friend at Cor - pus Christi, which will give our readers a *- prietty distinct idea of Gen. Taylor's camp, the occupation of the troops, and the character and disposition of the officers under his comrr and. Coar'Ls CantaTI, Aug. 30. The position taken by Gen. Taylor is one of extreme beauty; anid when the eye Ilrst reststipon his Camp; clustered with -a thousand spotless white tents, along the -- shelly margin of Corpus Christi Bay, ir resistable bursts of adtmiration follow ! It is- a position- of security as well as beauty. His tents are pitehed oi a piece of ta ble land that reachges about a quarter of a mile to a -range of hills ; at the distance of half a mile from the crest of these, he -has-stationied, as &n out guard, a force of one hundred and twenty hardy and well tried Texans, to whose fidelity is intrusted -~- this ..otherwise assailable point. Maj. Gally,.commanlding the volunteers from New Orleans, is entrusted with guarding the extrem'e left, whilst the extreme right -~-issafely gtiarded by Col.- Twiggs, com mandipg the 2d Dragoons.

From the earliest dawn refreshing breezes invigo rate- the body, dissipate the intensity. of the beat. and nerve the system to a health fult ation. The cool nights invite wea riness lo repose, 'disturbed neither-by the promenading flen, nor the buzzing mus quito. The only drawback to continuing -this encampment is the scarcity of wood and water-the former the troops haul about three miles. and the latter is quite brack isb-though I believe there are one or two small wells in camp which supply a very fair beverage. The officersenjoy themselves amazing ly-consideriug they were supposed- to be all cut up! They purchase Mexican ponies at from $10 to $30, and! excellent nags they are to ride, too. The waters abound with fish and oysters. both of a superior kind, and the prairies adjacent with rich (lavored venison. Large and fat beeves are slaughtered daily for the troops, all which, with the liberal supplies of Uncle Sam, the occupiers of an inde pendent nation's soil can get along mighty well with.. There is rumor it camp, to whieb the utmost credit is given, that fifteen hun dred Mexicans have recently marched to Matarmioros for its additional security. This is all the news about the movem-nts of t' e enemy known here. It is supposed Gen. Taylor will act in this "ay, viz: Wait for two months in his present poslion, to know. what the Mexi cans will do. If they do nothing, our government will send a Commissioner to Muico, to lay down the boundary of the two countries. If Mexico refuses to re ceive the Commissioners, and blindly turns away from a peaceably settlement, then our forces will immediately occupy the mouilt and barders or the Rio Grande, and establish that as the boundary, wheth er or no. Gen. Taylor is the very man the Gov ernment should have ,elected for the del icate and responsible duty of conducting an "Army of Occupation." His judge ment is ripeded by a long life of military experience, and his clear, practical views, the result of a common sense way of looking at things. His courage is un doubted, as his patriotism is unsullied and pure. In a few words, he is a Soult for industry, and a Fabius for caution ; but they do say he is a Jackson for stubborn ness. With his excellent good sense. however, this is no deficit in his character. The honor of the couatry is safe in his hands. From the N. Y. Jour. of Com. 10th inst. ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT WESTERN. FOUR DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. The steamer Great Western, Captain Mathews arrived here on Tuesday even ipngin 17 days from Liverpool. She brings 145 passenuers. Passage uuey -Z..juU- oRO nas.over 1uu tons of valuale-freight. This is the most profitable trip she evir made. Cotton is looking favorably. The weather had been rather more fa vorable.

At Lahore frotm 20.000 to 30,000 had fallen victims to it. American Ships of War in fte Medi terranean.-The Americanu double-hIanked frigate the Cumberland, Capt. S. L.

She setn her launch on shore, conmmuii cated with the American Consul, and on is returtn in the evening departed for Trtip oi. The Anterican corvette, the Ply mouth, Commander H. Henry, arrived at Malta on the 1st instant, from- Beyrout, ad took pratique this morning. The cotmodore communicated with her when off the port. P-aris and its vicinity were visited otn the 19th by a tretnendous hurricane, w hieh broke ot- tore up by the roots trees of large ditensios, and did other extensive dam. age. The wind was still high on Thurs day. but the weather was fine. Accounts from Rouen, received in Paar~ is, state that a large factory was blown~ down by the hurricane on the 19th 2002 persons were said to have been killed andi wounded Fri ghtful Accident-Loss of Fifly Lives.-The Liverpool Stantdard containt the following account of a frightful acci dent which occurred .on the afternoou of Thursday, at the Jarrow Colliery, on the Duram side of the Tyne. -On pro. ceeding to the spot, we learued that about half past four o'clock this afternoon an explosion of fire-damp occurred in the lower seam of the pit. The effect 'was terrific. Nearly 100 men were in the pii at the time, and one half of them heing near tbe pit's mouth. readily eicaped. Thirty five were in the lower seam, and '.hese, it is certain, met with instantane 00s death, and no attempt can be made in recover their bodies for several days. Oner 14, it is ascertained, were in a part of the pit where the explosion mtust have been equally fatal, and of these, thtree have been brought to tl-e mouth of the pit. Several attempts have been made to descend the pit, one of which has re suted in the death of an underbewer he longing to the colliery." Crope in France.--Ou r Parris letter states, that with the exception of Picar d, wihere it rained incessantly during Iast week, the weather had been favorable tC the works of the harvest. In the other ditrits, from which that capitol draws its provision of grain, and where it was gen erlly believed that the injury caused by the inclemency of the season was not so great as at firm apprehended. The circum stance prevented any further rise in the corn market on Monday, and a fall in the prices had even actually taken place in several .of the neighbtring towns The case was. difrest, however, in Picardy, Champagne, Alsene, and Flanders, where the rise continued'on-account of the in cessnt, rains,'which both retarded and seriously compromisedi the crops.

COMMERCIAL The weather has a materiil elfec upon tho Produce Markets. Yesterday and the da y previous, for instance, Vhenf st mosphern appeared to he a(I-lidierable, there was a good deal of busies trs acted in Cotton, but as the ^ ineted the plains, not only we. there-lis doing, but prices became depress d,'n te ar ticle almost unsalable. The influence which external nature has onlis nimal spirits has long been proverbial, and it would seem that the busy soisi F.frade. to many of whom the prices current isihe great nook of nature, are as keenly sus ceptible of it as more poetical tempera ments. The Share, like the Cotton mar. ket, has been brisk on the fini day. and heavy on the wet days. The sales of Cotton yesterday and today fiave impro ved both as regards quantity aind prees,. but the rates of last week are biarely real ized, and some descriptions are dull of sale and a point lower. Yesterday the sales were bet ween 5,000 and 6.000 bags. rho sales of the week are 3-9.000 bags. RIOTS IN GERMANY. . At Li pzie, 12th ult. at a review% of the troops. Prince John of Saxony, brother o I t se King of Saxony and a zealous Cath olic, wias insulted by the pegile, and the national militia. The people followed him to his hotel, which they..surrounded; crying " down -A ith the Jesuini,"' Ronge for ever." and all united in .-inging Lu ther's popular chorus, "Our-God is a for tress." - They were warned off, but refused to depart, and the result was the calling out of the military, who fired precipitately, and killed nine, two or whom belonged to the Police. Riots had also b0tken out in other places. Numbers of the people have been shot down. At the funeral of the killediat Leipsic, the Municipal Council wailed on t he King. He " was affected to tears. His Majesty said that this event was one;of the most cauel trials of his life, and that lie was the more grieved that such an event should have occurred in Saxony, and particularly in Leipsic. His Majesty added, that he was the more hurt as the addessesof the Municipal Council containeA" passages which seemed to indicate distrst'' Saxony is a Protestant te with a Catholic sovereign, and as ,Ran "e'e cainas to be a reforming Catbolicit kheing's brother has aggravated his-rsonal on popularity by an action of 6 sition to Rouge. - RUSSIA AND THE CIRGASSIANS We learn from Constantinople-of the 80th ult. that intelligence'had been re ceived there from the Caucasis announ cing that the Russians had I Idertaken a oew campaign in the interibt of.aghes efile, -l ountd~ioeers withdrew -to the interior, and'the Russians seized on the defile. Considerable loss was sustained otn both sides. There have been insurrections in the part of Circassia which is under subjection, and near Anapa a Russiana division was obltged to retreat. From the Charleston Patriot, 12th inst. From Veico.-By the Steam packet Charleston, Capt. Lyon, from Savannah, we received the New Orleans Picayune of the 7th inst., in advance ofrthe mail, from which wve copy the following extracts : LaATER AN4D IaPORTA::T FROV M bExiCo. The Mexican schooner Yucatan. P'ratts master, arrived at this purt yesterday from Tampico, whence she sailed on the 30th of August. By her we have received a file or El Gejen, a Tampico paper, down, to the 27th of August, and a copy of El Siglo Diezy Nueve, of the 19th ult., from the capitol--a week later than was recei ved by the Joaquina on the 30th nIt. - Mexico has not yet declared war, nor does she ap pear in any manner cotmpetent to do so. The country is rein by dissen sions. Opeu revolts have at last broken out in the army, and ott all hands the atm bitious milit ary chieftains are quarrelling among thetmselves. The President has at last succeeded in the formation or a Cabinet, which is com posed as hollows :-dtate Department, Sir D. Manuel de la Pena y Pena, Justice. Ecclesiastical Affairs, &c., Sr. D. Jose Bernardo Couta, Treasury Department, D. Pedro F. del Castillo; W ar and Ma rie, D Pedro Maria Anaya. They are wonderfully silent about, the foreign rela tions of the country and war with the Unt ed States. Trhe Siglo of the 19th states that a ru mor had prevailed for three days in the capitol ofra milit ary revolt in one section of the army under Gen. Filisoda, on its marco to Texas. Without vouching for their accuracy the Siglo gives some of the details of the movement It appears that the chiefs and officers of the vanguard of this division, while ttiree leagues distant from San Luis Potosi, taking advantage of the momentary absebce of Generals Filiso a and Galona, assembled (en junta) and agreed that they would not continue their march upon TIexas. unless they should re ceive, besides their full pay, all the equip ments, perquisites, and provisions of an army of campaign. This resolution they reduced to a formal act. It was reported further that Generals Filisola and Paredes arrived just at the moment, and prevailed upon the army to resume the march. On the 23d uit. the Mexican steamer Guadelupe was expected at Tampico, with from 800 to 1000 tents for troops of the army or the North. There were no AtI-eican vrssels at Tampico when the~ Y'ucauan sailed, nor des the captain bring any tmportant ver bal news. Rumors. however abound, for which wve htave not room. - Advice. tto the 11uh Auhust giave been received at Mexico from.Guatemtala. An efort is ..aking to re-establish the honds of federation between the States of San Sal ado, Guatemala and Honduras. For this purpose the two fortmer States have ap pointed Commissioners to meet at Zonzani *ate, to'deliberaite upon conditions. Guate mala has also named a Commissioner to ratify a treaty or peace wvith' Honduras, ndanother of commerce with San Salva The Constituent Congress ofGuatemna ]a has also passed two decrees, one intro ducing some very strict meatures of econ omy, and regulating the order in which the public creditors shall be paid ; Ihe i tier providing that the products of Mexico in troduced- into that State should pay the same duties as if they proceeded from any other foreign country. * be SU~trt[ser.

EPGEFIELD MECHANIC's WASH ingtonian Society, will meet on Monday evening rext.. The public generally are invited to at tend. We have received a copy of the proceedings of the State Temperance Convention, which recently assembled at Pendleton, 8 C. We have already laid before out readers a pretty full account of the proceedings, to which we refer them. BARADnVILLE TiCSTITUTE.-We have recei. ved a pamphlet copy of the "Course of Instruc; tion adopted in the South Carolina Female In. stitue, at Barhamville. near Columibia. S. C.1 Elias Marks, M. D., Principal and Proprtetor." We respectfully call the attention of Parents and Guardians to the advertisement of theBar. hemville School, which will be found in another column. .Dr. Marks, the Principal, has been engaged nearly thirty year .n teaching, e venteen of which liave.. . passed at Bar m ie rrt n he has ait high reputation, and deservedly so. .Nearly three thousand pupils have - been under his care. Parents anid their children have in their turtn, received the benefit of his instruction. There can beatr testimnony to his capabiliy as a teacher and his high moral character. We will take pleasure in showintg his pamphlet to any who may desire to lank over it. Messrs. William Gregg. H. Hutchinson, and others, will apply to the Legislature of South Carolina, at its tnext session, for a charter of a company for manufacturing purposes. We lern that they will establish a factory near Hamburg. In all probability, they will make a safe investment of thteir capital. W~e call the attentions of our readers to the Prospertus of the "' C'ongressional Journal," which will be published by Mlessrs Fisk & Dow, editors of the United States Journal, Washington City. In this age of cheap publications, it will be seen, that the above paper will be furnished to subscribers at an exceedingly low t'rice. Fifty dents will procure a very valuable volume of ive hundred pages or more. We wish these gentlemen and others who work at so reamson ble a rate, a liberal patronage from the public. CoMMlERCtAL AssoctaTloN' 0P CoLUMoa. Pursuant to public notice, the Colombia Comn. mercial Asesociation and the citizens assembled at the times and place appointed, for the piur pss ofadoptimng some mode of supplying the peple with corn. A report and resolutions were offered and ndopted at the meetinmg, which are too tong for insertion in our columns We will however make some extracts. -With re gard to the quantity of grain which will be wanted in the suffering Districts, the report gives the following statistics, which will serve as a basis for calculation. The entire popula tion of Fairfield, Chester, York. Newberry. Union, Laurens, and Spartanburg Districts, is estimnated at about one hundred and foi ty-Grve thousand persons. These Districts compose pretty much all the destitute portions of the State Allow for each individual, 10 bushels corn, and it makes .1,457,750 bosh. And for every 7 persons 1 horse,or 20,825 head and 40 bu. to the horse makes 833,000" Total quantity required for. bare mibsistence, allow ing nothing for cattle, ogs. &c. 2,290,750" Deduct the probable quan tity that will be gatheted, say two thirds, . 1.527.167" Leaven the deficiency or amount to be provided, 763,583" Of tIs amou'nt they will probably obtain fro'm other markets, 263,583" Leaves the quantity to be furnished by Columbia, 500,000" Of course, calculations are founded very much upon conjecture, and the resuli may vary from them mraterially, but the Corn. mittee are of opinion, ihdy "will apprixi mae very near the truth. The next point in the enquiry-is, where is the'grainjio be. procured. atid what is the boa' mode of tting it withinl reach of the people?. - 1 The best place to- lo for the supply .wilhbeRnatirnore. or in thfe great West. In the attr,, t.e committeeinking Ar to argest and eapest..iuppliescian be ob nined. But when the corn is delivered at Char eston, then arises ohe difficulty of -the riasportation to the various.points of con tumption. The Rail Road to hi. place ,obviates much of that. The company have liber lily set the example'.They have succes dively - reduced the chargendo transpor tatioi from 10'to 8. and-within a few days to 5 cents per..bushel,': at evhihit n'ow tands, as thir contribution t tbeire iet of the people. Let us now follow this liberal exanple.*i so oubly set us. Letins send our agents. to buy the corn at i he-louet/possible~atesa ship it here,.and sellit to..the. psiptet at such ratessas will barely coyer costs, ctharges-and interest., The committee have reason to believe it can be- sold here thio' the whole season, at not exceeding' 70 cis ier hushel, and we have grounds for hope that it can beaflrorded at 50 ets. per bushel. But is this all that can be done'? It is all that we can do as the merchants of Co limbia, or as individuals . (As members of the greatcommunity. the State. we per-. haps, can do what is not less useful. and perhaps would he more highly advanta gootis as relief.) The necessaries of life, such as corn, are always bulky and.,heavy. and the cheapness with which a destitute, -ommunity can be supplieJ, depends en irely upon the character of their high ways. If they are made good, provisions nay be distributed with great facility and henpuoss. A committee waswappointed, whose duty it s, to open a communication imnediately.with igents that they may select, at Baltimore, New rlen us, Memphis and St Lonis,and such other )laces as they may think proper, to ascertain rom %'hatpoint corn can be laid down in Charleston, at the lowest rates,.and to report brough the public jotrals. PUBLIC MEETING gr ANDERSON C; H. Agreeably to public notice, a very large and respectable assembly of the citizens of Ander ion District convened at the Court House, on Monday the 1st instant, for the purpose of con iderinig the propriety of sending Delegates to a meeting proposed to be held at Union Court House, on the second Monday of tdie same maonth, and consilting as to the best meains of supplying thq country with grain. Among other resolutions the following were passed. Jet. Resolved, That weeadsee n'6 ood that will be likely to result to the comnmu nity, by sending up delegates-.o the' pro posed meeting at Union C. H., ahd that we therefore decline to do so. ..' 2nd. Resolved, That we are opposed to any-call being made upon the Legislature of thisState,-.and confidently rely uyoit ifl ivildual apital and. enterprise,-to sup ply the demands of our District for-grain.6 3d. Resolved. That a central committeed Sten, be appointed the chaiir, whose' -( tna be - he ci *, tion they may be able, previous to Sale d:iy' next, on what terms corn may be purcha sed in the Eastern, Western or Middle States, and laid down at our principal market towns, or at any point on the Geor gia Rail Road. 4th. Resolved. That a committee of three be appointed by the chair. for each.beat company in this District, to ascertain and report on Sale-day next, to the cenitral committee, the amount of corn needed in their reupective companies, and what amrount of funds can be secured for the purchase of the sarwe. - MR. Enrro,-You will. we do-ibt not, be happy to hear that the Lord has done great things for us, whereof we are glad. A meeting cmm.nced on Saiturday. before the 3rd Lord's day ini Anzgnst, at Siloam Chiurch, attended by brethren Triap, and Dozier. (Missionaries.) and Corley, Penison, and myself The meeting was interentii.g on the first day, and the interest increased daily-many saying, "what shall we do to be saved." The meeting continued for sixteen days During the time. 39 were received by experi eice, 3 restored, anid many others expressed a hope in Christ. Such a meetiing I have never witnessed before. Fathers, Mothers, and Chil dren wvere received into fellowship, and-we had the pleasure of seeina the husband -and wife. march hand in hand, down into the water. We were compelled tip 'rave the place, in order to attend ether churches. But when we parted. we sung the parting hytn. I never saw as solemn a time before, some saying. "pray for my children. huisbanid, wife, &c.," while many tears were shed, not soon to be forgotten. The Church for some years. seemed as thougih its Harp was hung upon the willow..- But all can now sing the songs oflion, and go-on their way rejoicing. We beliei~e that. thia should stir us up in the caunr of-lisaionary efforts. Yours, with respect, -HSASWILLIA MS. Sept. 1, 1845..
