Everson, 'arrived yesterchey from Vora Cruz, from whence she sailed on the 44d April. Our latest tulvices from the city age:leo ago up to the 19th. Among the passengershy the Pilot, was Peyton A. Southall, Esq , who is thebearer ef important despOtet es to our government from hleziro, nad also from the Sandwich Islands. _ . . The political news by this arrival is of little or ad impottance, so far as it relates to the local. affairs of the Mexican Government. Santa Anna was stilt it his place near Jalapa. Rumor has it that he Itecently lost some $90,000 to some gentlemen eitoillemfrote- c the city of Mexico. They visited Idsiseighlierbotid on some gala or feast occasion, siStai - iiie . Preside* was left minus the above sum at etiek-Getting.mattete, and other games. He'll get it taback in some weit. Tho general impression tit roues* Mexico was, that Texas had been annexed to the lltikted States; and n'to one appeared to-think strange of it.' The people seed: to look upon it as belonging to this counuy. end Am/ expressed surprise that we had not laid did* it be fore. The English have made a treaty with the . Sand wich Islands--w treaty which, like all others. is entim ly in favor of the former power. By this treaty all English vessels are to enter the Sandwich Island ports tonnage free, while the goods of the the former are on ly to pay en ad valorem ditty of 5 per cent. A rupture with France is still anticipated by the Mexicans, grow ing out of the new law in relation to the retail trade. No less than twenty-one French houses, so it is said, have been compelled to clime their doors in the city of Mexico alone in gaistepence of that law.—The Mexicans mikes thealgit thee expected another brush with France, and thong_. h they. mold come off victorious, too. Large numbers oftroops are congregated at Vern Cruz, Jal'apa„ and atorig die mad. Ten of thu Texan prisoners taken at Mier—the par ty who were recently remtived from the Commit of Santiago, near Mexico—are now at the Castle of San Juan de Ulna, near Vera Cruz. The following 'ex tract from a lever written by one of the prissnent to • the editor of this paper, tells the sad story of their fate: Castle of San Juan de Ma, Mara 19. Twelve of us went by Perotd on our way tof this place, but on the road such of the party as werti gllsh,and unfortunately there were hut two of were liberated.

SHAMEFUL PROCEEDINGS OF A MILITA RI INQUISITION IN CUBA: Tire subjoined statementcomes to us from a highly respectable suture, and we think its dirty to give its early insertion. The wrongs of"any man are to be pro claimed, if proclamation can promote redress. Bin injuries inflicted on an American citizen, almost with in sight of our own country should be noticed primps. ly, and redress be at once demanded by the geverw mem. O'Donnell, the Governor General, has established Military Commission with all the powers of the It* quisition, viz: to put to torture, judge, acute ce, and execute all persons of color found to harm joined the plot of the insurrect ion, lately discovered. Seven hue hen and fourteen slaves and free persons of he n errested, and am now in confine in an apartment so small that riot one half the number can lie down. The wretches arc examined seperate ly by the solicitor, in the following cruel and barbar ous manner —To a ladder lying on the ground, the accused is tied hands and feet. with his face down-- ward. Ho is then called upon , w confess—he hesi tates—the whip, such as is used by the drnymen of the U. States, with a piece of wire affixed to the snap, is then applied to the small of the bark, laid bare, eve. ry lash removing more minas tithe flesh, until he con fesses, what perhaps he dors not knew,or until he faints. On relaying, from fifty to one }I - oared more are inflicted; and if these do not extort errfeasiob, he is remanded to prison ' where he writhesin agony tile mender, when bail ta ken out, and the whip again aril plied to his already hut ridly lacerated back!! This barbarous method of extorting c4nfession bee bees practiced in Matanzas every day daring the lifit 6fty, and for more than ninety days. by the Inquisition now traveling between Matanzas end Cardenas. Mansur here expired under the lash, protesting their immix** to the last, and morn than twenty poor wretches have been sent from public jail in Matanzeis totbo hospital, `without a particle of skin rm their becks. The proceedings of the inquisition towards the whites would put to the blush the negro tribunals of Hayti. Five persons of respectability, four of whom are planters, were arrested and confined fiftp-orie days on charges Needed an the testimony of a worries negro. Three of these five persons are Freneh resi dents, and we doubt not their government will procure them redress fur all their sufferings.
