the Baltimore Sun, dated Boston,
30th August:
"A Her the family of Professor Webster

but would soon regain his confidence.
"By the advice of physicians he
breakfasted on tea and coffee with
bread. He made all nreparations to

did so.
"About three hundred persons
were admitted within the jail vnrd.
The house-tops in the vicinity of the
jail were crowded with persons,
among whom were mnny women.

"At twenty minutes before 10

it will remtvn'until dark, when it will

The Prebipent op Fravce.?The
following is the speech of Louis Napoleon
at the Lyons banquet:
"Mons;eur le Maire: 1 sinrnrpW

Lf.gislat uhe of New Mexico.?
Major R. H. Weightman, a member
of the Legislature of New Mexico,
and elected by that body to the Senate
of the United States, has addressed
a letter to the editors of the St.
Louis Republican, in reply to an article
in that paper in which it was represented
that a number of the members
of the I egislature having protested
againr* certain acts thereof, and
withdrew therefrom. *lier??hv lpnvinir
it without a quorum, the Legislature
proceeded to elect members to fili t lie
vacancies, &c. Front this letter,
which is dated St. Louis, August 24,
1840, we make the following extracts: I
"A factious attempt uatt made to destroy
the quorum, and six members
withdrew, sending a protest or letter,
of an insulting character, to the
House of Representatives based upon
the pretended around that Air.
Montoya, ef Santa Anna county,
could not get his scat; but, as was
pithly said by Mr. Juan Parea, a Senator
from the southern district, 'the
real reason was not that he could not
get bis seat to-day, but because he
could not hold it to-morrow'?the
most satisfactory evidence having
reached Santa Pethat Ihe contesting
candidate was legally elected.
"For the insult contained in their
letter, the six signers were promptly
expelled, the two contesting members
from Santa Fe admitted, and Gov.
Alvarez notified of the existing vacancies;
ihe election to fill which was
to have been on the 420th of this
month.
"The number of representatives
being twenty-one, of whom one was
absent, the withdrawal of six others
could not defeat the quorum, without

positively refused to prosecute, and

Mexico.?Late advices, contained
in the New York Tribune, from Mexico,
represent that country to be in
anything else than a flourishing or
settled condition. The Indians con
tinue tlieir depredations on the frontiers.
Congress is now in session,
and it is almost certain that General
Arista v/ill be elected President at
the approaching election. Great
hopes are entertained of his administratien.
The Tribune's coriespondent
writes: "The opinion is somewhat
prevalent that a revolution is at hand
but I feel assured of the contrary, as
ine people know that nothing has
been gamed by them?not even by
those who have spent thousands out
of their own pockets for such purposes.
Jt is said, however, that an attempt
at a revolution wa? made in
this city some days ago, but it is denied;
yet it is certain tlmt about half
a dozen colonels, and as many captains,
have been despatched to different
parts of the country; and a body
w vv* au.w.^1 o uo? IT3CU QlVKied and
sent to different places. No doubt
General Arista will clear oe< of this
city all officer? arid troops <hat may
not be favorably disposed towards
himself and the actual government."
Tub Crisis.-?Ev^ry mail from the
South indicate that a great political
crisis is fn?t approaching. The tenbr
of Governor Beli's message and the
temper of the population of Texas
?the duty which Georgia lias made
imperative on her executive, in case
California is admitted, to call a Southern
convention?the spirit indicated
by the public meetings in that Suite
nnrl in ntlinr Stntoo clin?f o notni
initiation, if not a foregone conclusion,
llmt is as clear as noon-day.?
To this wide indication of Southern
discontent, there comes to minister
to it the Alabama slave insurrection,
and the New York slave abduction
proceedings- To all this are to be

various Southern politicians, in the
many thoroughly disunion letters and .
speeches which have recently been
elicited, and the propositions seriously
brought forward to adopt retaliatory
commercial measures by the
South. All this points most directly
to the conclusion, that a portion of
the South has resolved to proceed to
the most violent measures in order to
carry out a desperately remedy. It
is useless to wink out of sight the fact
that a crisis is at hand winch it will j
require no small measure of iliscre- j

Shameful Abuses.?The N. Y.
Evening Post, in noticing the wholesale
robbery of the Treasury from
foreign a) pointees resigning after
they receive their outfits and salaries, j
i says:
"Hann?gan, it will he remember-'
ed, was sent to Berlin, upon the slip-1
ulation that he should not siav long, ,
his appointment being a consideration
for making that a full mission,
which could not be done without
democratic votes, but with democrat
votes might be made a very pretty
asylum for some desertless partisan,
as soon as Hannegan rould decentlv
draw an outfit, an infit, and a vear's
salary, which was rightly supposed j
to require about six months.
Col. Webb was sent out also with
a like certainty of being recalled before
he arrived at his p!ace of destination;
nevertheless, he got his salary
and outfit, which was the main thing.
Only a day or two since, the chairman
of the committee of ways and
means asked for an addition to the
civil and diplomatic annrooriation
bill for outfits for the charges to'
Ecuader, Guatemala, New Grenada '
and Portugal. We svpro^cd oil !

year they would put the government
j .o the expense of two outfits. But
it now appears that Col. Van Alen |
wno nas oeenai n.cuanor sn< roe six
months, has resigned his commission,
and returned in the Crescent City to
New York.

Sound Doctrine.?We clip the
followin from the Charleston Evening
News of Saturday:
"What course it is the duty of the
South now to pursue is too grave a
matter lor us to point out. In the
present emergency, the people of the
slaveholding States should be united.
He should be driven from our borders
who hesitate to sustain the South in
any step by which she may redress
her wrongs; or who would forget, in
the claims of party, his first duty to

in others. The lime for moderation
is past. Forbearance, so far
from being a tirtiie, is a positive vice.
He tfrho1 will not, amidst the proof
' How before* the country, of deliberate
outrage on the South, vindicate her!
cause, and go to any extreme for her
protection, is as faithless to the nature
of a freeman as he is to the du- ;
ties of a patriot, anil the social virtues
of a free government, In mere political
acts, dividing the people of the
same country, a support 01 the central
governmental power may be
consistent with the obligations clue
I the State; but in the case of wanton >
outrages on the principles of liberty; j
of manifest abuses of power; of vio- j
lent efforts to change the nature of
the politics of the country from freedom
to despotism, there is, with the
honest man (there may be with the
slave) no question of opposing allegi-.
ance. There is but one tie?but one
fidelity?that is to our State, and to
our State alone! To this fidelitVi to
this allegiance we pledge ourselves;
and never, while we can raise our
voice to assert the rights of the South,
or an arm to protect it, will wr cease
to condemn and to resist this deliberate,
unprincipled, and base violation
of her constitutional liberty."
