The inipreision% however; is,- that They= will ledve'it ;ithout a struggle. - Fromr the direction of the city of Mexi co we can gain no intelligence- There ap pears to be no doubt. however, that Santa Annau.arrived there on- the 20th and 21st inst., and at once took sides with the cler gy against Gomes Farias. Nothing far ther has been learned in Vation to the re p-rt that there was a large foree of Mexi cans, under La Vega, at- or near Jalapa. The army will proceed in that direction in a few days; 'nd then wve shall, know all about it...' I was, witness to a singular scene yes tertlray,..A,large concourse. of. Mexicans -old men, woman and young girls-were gathered around the 'door of one of ow commissaries, and each struggling, as you have frequently seen people at the ticket o'icer of a theatre on a crowded night, to be first in. -On enquiring. 1 found that rations of food were being distributed to the hungry and half-starved throng. Since writing the above I learn that a Frenchman has-just arrived from the city of Mexico who reports that there are not one t'aousaud armed men, all told, on the road from, this to the capital. He says there were ntne guns it position at ' Puente.Nacional, but only sixty men to serve them. It would seem perfect mad - ness for-the Mexicans to continue the war, yet I suppose they will hold on a while longer..., The amount of spoils of war taken by the capture of. Vera Cruze is immense. Over 4000 muskets were laid down on the ground, and it is known that a' great nunber were left secreted in the city by men who-went out in citizens clothes in stead of their uniform. The numher of cannon and mortars, in the town and cas tie, is not as yet known, but it is already ascertained that there are over 3000. To this should be added an immense amount of powder, ball, shells, Paixan shot. &c., enough to conquer the country all the way to Acapulco. Quite a speoulation far Uncle Sam. Two fags 'are flying from San Juan de Ulua, one belonging to the army and the other to the navy. - Gen- Quiiman takes down to Alvarado the South Carolina,.Georgia and Alabama regiments. He also has an artillery force with him, Capt, Steptoe's battery, I am infurmed. One object of the expedition " r, is to open a road from whence mules, horses,-and supplies for the army may be procured. The country down that way. is said to'abound with them.

It appears that the' massacre d of Gov.'Bent and others, was perpetrated at Taos on the.18th of January,. and im mediately runners were sent out .by the ,v Mexicans to the different towns the prow-; d ince, calling upon the inhabitants to assist in the murder of the Americans.' We learn also that on the 19th, the t night after the murder of Gov. Bent and his companions at Taos, Mr.. Romulus, Culver, of Clinton county; L. L. Waldo, a brother of the doctor, and Benj. Pruett, of Jackson county, together' with- five others, were killed at Moro, a town ofsome r 2000 inhabitants,and situated seventy-five miles from Santa Fe.-After this outrage, the insurgents, to the number of some 2000 collected at a small town called La Cati ada, some twenty-five miles from Santa Fe. Col,.Price, hearing of this, immedi ately went. in person at the head of 350 ti men, and drove them from their position, killing 36 of their- nungber.-Ahout the time of the battles between Col. Price and h the insurgents at La Caoiada and Lam- r bada, Captain Hendly, of the Ray county y volunteers. who was on. the east side of the mountains, in charge of a party of gra- ei ziers, hearing. of the massacre at Taos and Moro, immediately repaired; with about 90 men to the latter place, where he met with a large body of the ener.y, and an h engagement ensued, in which Capt. H. lost his life. After his fall, his men, under a command of their lieutenant,. fell back on Vegas, and reported at Santa Fe the condition of things. and the probability of >; a well appointed force being-able to defeat u the enemy at Moro. -On receipt. of this t' intelligence at Santa Fe, Capt Morin of Y Platte, with some 200 men, wan despatch= b ed to Moro, and on his arrival the inhabi tants fled. leaving every thing to the mer- I cy of the Americans. The town, as before v stated, was burnt, and every thing possible- tl for the enemy to subsist upon was destroy- c ed. b Late from Mexico.-By the way of Vera, c Cruz and Tampico the New Orleans Pic. e ayuue is.in receipt of papers from the city d of Mexico to the 17th: of March-previous 'v dates were to the 27th of February.

A negro chief,. having 2000 slaves a upon his hands, and being unable to dis- C pose of them, had them all killed before 3 his own eyes. The French G ,vernoienth has also bxcn .madlencquainted'-with this Il horrid mnassacre. The murder of those poo' " slaves ought to he avenged. The "naegro '1 chief" by whose order-the murders were perpetrated, should' lbe made to expiate L his crime by a penalty as severe as that d which lie'so harbarously inficted-the 'I penalty of death itself.

The foi awing is the correspondence, publishedi he Rochester Advertiser : STo the Elan. John C. Calhoun. DAisytrLLE, March 1st, 1847. Dear Sir.-The credit given to you fa incerity in public life, and the interea manifested by many of our fellow citizec a your behalf, I think will be a suflicier stfication for this communication at thi ie. I have been reading with no littl terest the debate in the Senate, on yov esolutions in relation to slavery, in whic enator. Simmons, of Rhode Island. pam icipated, and must confess, that I wa omewhat confounded at some of the ac ions advancedhby you on that occasion t may be, that on reading your remarks misapprehended their purport, or am a ill of apprehension that I cannot see thei ationality. The Rochestrper make .you sa; tht you 'would prefer a despotic gover:1 s,. ?ran. tistocracy, to a governmec here ;.he numerical majority govern; ad thlen youjayajhi is Doauas, an hat he seator from Reho island wa lie: lasi person in the world from whor n. expected s.ouch doctrines,, becaus tehoerland has taicedhiits bitter fruiti Iowliappened to be one of those oppose 6t Io proviso, and was' waitin thsoe nxey to see your vien ~pon thoejbbsct.Ii was with great sui ise andestonishment that 1 read sue entmnts from one 5DjoymO5 so mu~c ispet and confidence. 1 was one of thos so, wio belie'ed in ain extension of th ight.f suffrage in.Rhode Island, and in onsiiti;risecurisg itQ ca it Dorrisln, c rhat you plase; but "dilered with al1 motovers,' and the means resorledto,~t"I tain that end. When such aiconsittutiot r was reluctantly wrung from the opposing party in Rhode lslapd. in obedience to the popular will, the question as to whili party was right, is seems to me, is necea sarily foreclosed.' I cannot see, with the limited 4informat s Lion I possess, into the correctness of'any s other theory of a repnbliean government,. 1 but in the admitted rightof the majority to rule. Any other theory substitutes a sort e of Divine rigbt in: a less number, to rule the residue, a proposition to which a free peo s pie will. never assent. If you attempt to i transfer sovereignty, by: drawing a line of distinctionb et ween) our fellow mlen, pray. tell how, and where, you would draw it ? s Would you undertake to say that the rich, y the bankers, the monopolists alone, shall exercise the sovereign power, exclude the t poor, because they are poor? - Would you transfer the sovereign power into, the I hands of professional men, and exclude t the farmer and mechanic, because they are a farmers and mechanics ? Would you transfer thie sovereign power into the hands of good men alone, and exclude the bad ? If so. who would you select as the umpire in such a case, but Omnipotence itself? It seems to me that the very moment we depart from the conceded right of the I numerical majority to govern, under a re publican system, that very moment we debate from the system itself. I am now speaking with reference to the right.of our own free white citizens, and not to slaves, f and to such I suppose you referred, in your depart with Simons of Rhode Island. I think that if an attempt was made in I the State of New York, or any other State. . at the present time, to deprive the, numer * ical majority of the right to govern, there t would be such an uprising of the people, in the shape of Dorrism as you call it, that it would long be remembered by the peo pIe of the United States; and that the movers and abettors in such a treasonable plot would be consigned to an oblivion darker than that which shrouds the name of Arnold! And in such a result, unless I , much mistake the discernment of the people, nine-tenths would most heartily concur. The notion is intoletable, out rageous, and cannot be sustained a mo ment without changing fundamentally, the 1 structure of the government. Who -is e prepared for, and who desires this change? I am aware that there are eminent men e in the country who are doubtless honest in e their opinions, and who steadfastly adhere to the old state of things, cling with re markably tenacity to the errors of the past - to the laws, usages, and customs of an I tiqujty, however oppressive and inconve r nient they may be; and they look upon s human progress, and the gradual changes I which that progress demands, as -unwise, ? imprudent, and revolutionary. There are, however, a-vast . majority of: the people 1 .who honestly differ- with them in opinion r. on this' subject. " 9 If soientilisresearches areauthority on!

Dear Sir; I see by your 'letter, that you have formed your opinion on a very imperfect report of what I said; and in order that you may see what I did say, I etnclose the within, which contains a cor rected copy of my reply to Mr. Simmons, with my reply to Mr. Turney, and my speech on my resolutions. You wtil see -that if I aim opposed to a government B based on the principal that a mere nume m rical majority has a right to govern, I am :equally opposed to the to the government -of a minority. They are- both the gov 3 ernent of a part over a part. I am in favor of the government of the whole; the only really and truly popular republican government--a government based on the r occurrent majority-the joint assent of all *t the parts, through their respective majori ties, and not the mere government of the Smajority of the whole. s Such is thme constitution and government of the United States, andI such are all r really and truly constitutional govern a ments. The government of a mere ma jority of minority is not popular enough for me, they are both in their nature des . potic and not constitutional governments. .I do not object to extended suffrage. I have ever advocated it,-Ry Dorrism, I mean the right claimed fur the numerical r majority, that it has the inherent andI ab solute right to govern, a sort of right divine, like that claimed by Sir Robert Filmer, -for kings.-Such a-right has no foundation tand is inconsistent with the very idea of 'a constitutional government.
