Gen. Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna excellent sir : Your cominunicado: of the 9th ins ant, purporting to he a pro test to be published to thy civilized world 1 i 1 nas ocum j?r vuivu w niv. The govt Tnment of Teens cheerfully re cognize to your excellency, the right t< make known o the worl 1 every grievanci and injustice tha you may have experien ccd at their hands. I admit that this go v Tnment lias b en constrained, by the in fl tence of a highly excited popular indigna tion, to deviate for a season, from he term: of that article of the trea'y, made betweei this government and your excellency which relates to ycur transportation c Vera Cruz. And in making this a -mission 1 profess a proloind mortifiea ion, fori does no? belong to the spirit of this govern inent to make even a slight deviation fron i s solemn engag* men's. But the cause: that have produced the cons rairit undo which the government have ac ed, arc no unknown to you, and I should regret to be lieve that you wore incapabl of giving tc them a just .appreciation. The crizons and the citizen soldiers of Texas, have fel and do f< -el, a deep, intt-nse, and righteotn indignation at the many at rocitics whicl have been perp ' rated by tin.' troops lately under your excellency's command; anc especially at th barbarous massacre of the brave Colonel Fannin an i his gallant cornpanions. How far your excellency participateJ in that abomination and inglorious slaughter, 1 am not disposed to conjecture: but it is both natural and true that the peopie of Texas impute it to your excellency's special command. When the government of Texas solemnized the treaty of the 14th ultimo will youi excellency, they did it in good faih, ant they intended religiously to observe even stipulation of that treaty. Your embarka tion on board the armed schooner Iuvincibk was an edict of that intention; butyourcx cellency has had too much experience it Vie waywardness of popular excitements not to feel the necessity which promptei your subsequent d; barkation and the post ponenient of your s ipulaed depar urc. lsr. Your excellency "protests, firstly Cnr hnvincr hoeii treated more like an ordin ary criminal than as a prisoner of war, th< head of a respectable nation,even after tin agreements had bee n commenced." 1 do no precisely comprehend the char actor oft he treatment objected 'o. and wouli have been pleased to have had the spcciti cations. If your excellency alludes to th( ticcomodalions which have been assignee to you, I would reply that I have cheerfully subjected my own sick family to many hard ships, in order to render vour excellency the l?cst accommoda ions in our power.? That wo are at present destitute of the or dinarv comforts of life, is mainly attrihuta hie to your excellency's visit to our nev country, and on ti is accowr we led le.s regret that you should partake of our priva tions.

Your second pro est, relating to th treatment experienced by the Mexican G n eral Adrian Wall, involves some fact which I do sincerely deplore, but lor wi-.ic tins gov ramen:*is no s ri -i-y responsible Your excellence is sens bio that we hav done all in our power to guarantee the sal return of G 'nerul Waii to the Mexicu camp.

The reasons that have a< tua'ed that officer, have not been fully d< tailed to us?but we are informed thai the are predicated on some alleged iniprudei cics of General Wall, whose good disco tion, we know, has not been very conspici ouslv manifested during his stav among u . 3d.

I am not sensible of j any act of "violence and abuse" to \yhich t vou wore expos- d, that was no? necessarily concomitant on your return to shore.?Your 1 excellency has acquired too great a celeb- j s j ri y in Texas, no; to lx- an object of curios- i r ity v\i;h the multitude: but I believe you will j t bear testimony to the magnanimity, which 1 res rained a tumultuous and highly exaspc- 1 } rated crowd, from ottering any inu:gni;y to ,jyour person. If such outrage had been I, . | committed, it would have been promptly j chastised. "The President nnd cabinet'' , j entertained no intention of "making a sliow" . j of your excellency, whoso condition, as a I prisoner of war, has invariably commanded 1 ,! their highest veneration, and towards whom i ; they have exhibited every a'tent ion that j1 1 was compatible with their official du.ies, : . j and within their power to bes'ow. .; G,!i. Your excellency's final denunciation i is probably the result of excised feeling. L . | While you are detained as a prisoner, ii is I, inevitable that the ordinary precau ions be i, , observed. I am uqi apprized that more j r than this lias been done. Your excellency I j i is not ignorant that the members of this go- i r | vernment are remote.from their own homes , and are very indifferently accommodated ; j . that the seat of government is not pcrnia.; newly located, and there lore no public ) , buildings have lv^en creced.

The annexed is an extract of a letter fiom ogota, dated July 8: "Colonel Ihddle, from United States, brother the President of the United States Bank, lias 1 jcn here some time making proposals for ef- t cting the long-talked-of communication be- < veen the two oceans through the isthmus of anama.

A native com- I my came forward to make proposals for the i < line object. The Congress broke up without i i ranting the privilege to either, l ot passed a 1 i decree investing the Executive with powers to give the privilege upon certain specified conditions. The two parties liavesir.ee coalesced and taken the grant between them. The leadiiig conditions are that they undertake to effect the communication; that the work is to be begun in three years and completed in six; that the privilege is to last 45 years, after which the work becomes national property ; that in the mean time they pay the Government 2 per cent, on the nett profits. For this they get a grant of land of G2,(HH) fanegadas, and the option of purchasing 360,(MX) fanegadas more from the Government at a fixed price.?

While the orisons of many a sorrowing heart rise to Ileavcn for success to this attempt to humble the Seminoie, they fear lest it be like others before it. It is stated in a letter from an officer on the western side 01 the Peninsula, that Gen. Jessup, having received orders to assume the command in l lorida, proceeded to St. Marks to hasten and direct the movements of the troops and was then on the Withlacoochee. This accounts for his delay in reaching Fort Drane. Gov. Call will probably meet him in the nation. There is said to be a large supply of provis ons on tlio Withlaeoochee and at Tampa Bay.

Bible ix Schools.?Bishop Purcell, before the College of Teachers in session here last A*eek, took a decided ground against introiucing the Bible into our common schools. Rev. Mr. Montgomery, on Thursday, of the same week, concluded a very general lecture 3n Education by a very specitic condemnation 3f the practice of allowing the Bible to be in schools. He declared that it would be misunderstood, abused, 'kicked about'. We are glad these gentlemen stated thejr objections so npcnly and without disguise. It is their right to maintain the same position, which is held by unnv Protest^ ' do not o'?jectto tho;r maintaining this, or any other opinion on the subject of Education. We note it only as a ! statistic. When wo calculate upon the state ot public entimint on this question; which must soon be settled, we know which side the Re17van Catholics take. They wiil go against in; trouncing the Bible into our common schools. Mr. Montgomery was of opinion that even the i teachers should not take the Bible and make selections for their scholars?since it would produce needless debates and differences.? The Roman Catholics at the West are a large : and growing denomination?and their decision in this matter will exclude the Bible from thousands of young mimls to be educated out of European and into republican and American notions:?Cincinnati Journal. JxTER*8TINO DlSCCSSIOX. While tilC College of Teachers were in session, Rev. A. Campbell in his lecture, attributed to the Protestant Reformation, under Luther, the intellectual elevation and intelligence which now pervades the mass of t he people who have been under its influence. The Rt. Rev. Bp. Purcell, (Roman Catholic) challenged the position, and some discussion ensued before the College.? Since then, the two gentlemen have entered into a public discussion of that point, and in a manner which excites in our community great | | interest.?lb. j We are requested to announce Brig.
