A SPEECH FKOM GEN. TAYLOR.
At the celebration at Monterey, in
Mexico, of the Anniversary of the Inde
pendence of the United States, (some ac
count of winch we will give in our next,)
tlic wliole company assembled on the oc
casion (Gen. Gushing presiding) was a
grccably surprised by a Speech1 from the
eld soldier who has so often led ihem to
battle and to victory. The following ac
count of the incident is given by thecor
respeudeut of the New Oilcans Picayune:
Lieut. Fuller, of the Massachusetts
Volunteers gave :
"Gen. Taylor : We hail him as the
next President ; may Ids civil be as bril
liant as his military career." This sen
timent was drunk with three times three.
Gen. Taylor rose and responded to this
f entimait :
"Jr. President and Gentlemen : I
have never had the vanity to aspire to or
look for that elevated situation which has
just been alluded to, bui if my fellow
countrynien think proper to elevate me to
so distinguished and honorable a position,
I certainly shall do my best to discharge
the duties of that responsible position
faithfully. But, if any other candidate is
preferred by the People as more compe
tent than myself, 1 need not sav that I
s-hall acquiesce most cheerfully in. their
decision, and shall rejoice that there is
one more worthy to represent them in
ibe highest office in their gift."
The General then gave a toast :
""The State of Massachusetts and the
city of Boston : The place where our
liberties were cradled ; whose sons have
borne so conspicious a part in the estab
lishment and maintenance of the principles
of our independence and the constitution
and have gallantly maintained the same
by sea and laud." Nat. Int.
LOCOFOCO MODESTY.
The "Spirit of the Times," is exceed
ingly rejoiced, that the State interest is
promptly paid. That paper of Monday
tsys i
'The interest of the Stale loans will be
paid to-day at the Bank of Pennsylvania
-one half in par funds. This is not ow
ing to the good judgement of the present,
. but 1 the former (Democratic) State
i reasurer. .
Wc suppose, it has forgotten, that when
Judge Banks came intooflice the Treasury
was minus $200,000, which were pro
cured by him on temporary loan, which
loan has iougsince been paid. Speaking
of "Judgement" ive would refer the
Times to another Article in our paper of
to-day from which it appears tlicre is now
m the Treasury, $327,000 over aid a

TIIE NEWS FROM MEXICO.
FROM THE V. O. DELTA OF JULY 23.
The Peace Rumors. The" news we
publish from the "Sun of Anahuac'Vin
our paper of to-day is not, hi our of mion,
entitled to niscli credit. As a general
rule, the least authentic news we ever rc-
ceivc, in regard to Mexican affairs, comes
J to us through Vera uruz ana awn me
' line of our uiililary operations. Tle la
J test and most authentic news from the
capital generally, ieaches us bv the way
of Tampico, We think it impossibIe,or
at least highly improbable, that 50 impor
tant a move as the appointment of Com
missioners 4o treat for peace should be i
t t i - I
made without .its Deing kwowu uy ute
merchants and others in Tauipico. But
there arc other grounds of disbelief of this
rumor, it is not probable that the Mexi
can Government would proceed imme
diately to lite designation of the Com
missioners before they had previously
signified their acceptance of Mr. Buchan
an's proposal, rnade through Mr. Trist,
to open iregoUaUwis, and before they had
indicated the terms, lire manner, and mode
in which the negotiations should be con
ducted. But there are stronger reasons, or rather
facts, disproving this rumor. Our con
temporaries of La Patria have a letter from
their correspondent, an intelligent Span
iard now icsidentin the capital, of the
6th July, in which no illusion is made to
the appointment of Commissioners, but
in which it is positively stated that Con
gress, convoked for the purpose of con
sidering Mr. 'Frist's propositions, bad not
yet had a quorum, and no steps had been
taken on the peace question. This fact,
wc think, is conclusive. The Mexican
papers received some days ago stated that
the American overtures would be laid be
fore Conirrs for their action, and that the
President had no constitutional power
beyond the mere reception of these pro
posals.
FROM THE N. O. BEE OF JULY 24.
Comparing and collating all the infor
mation received from various sources, we
are inclined lo think that some step has
been taken by the Mexican Government
favorable to the prospective conclusion of
a ticaty. Whether Commissioners have
really been appointed, and whether the
names I'urnixhed by the Sun of Anahuac'
arc those of the representatives of Mexico
are subjects of conjecture, and which the
future alone can contradict or confirm.
All that the Vera Cruz paper has stated
in relation to the movements of die Mexi
can Government may be true, and yet
peace may be as distant as ever. The ap
parent willingness of the authorities to
confer with Mr. Trist may be a trick to
gain time. Mexican diplomacy is pro
verbially long-winded. Even if sincere
in its manifestations, it is tedious aud
troublesome in coming to a conclusion.
If conducted for the pimple object of
keeping Gen. Scott at Puebla, while San
la Anna labors to augment his resources
and to enlarge his preparations for defence,
it would be perfectly consistent with the
policy of a General whose present means
are feeble and whom every hour of respite
strengthens. Granting, however, that
the Mexican Govcrnincutiiasbccu brought
to reason, and is really willing to treat
for peace, so well do we know the in
tractable pride of the nation and the obsti
nacy with which it clings to the notion of
an undivided and undismembcrcd terri
tory, that wc arc fearful of the failure of
all negotiations that would imply the
cession of those parts of the couutry now
occupied by our troops.
IMPORTANT FROM BRAZIL.
Brazil and American Whaling Siurs.
letters have been received at Washing
ton, D. C, dated Rio dc Janeiro, 2d June.
Our Whaling interests have been attack
ed by the Brazilian government, in a
manner calculated to provoke retaliation.
Two vessels have been seized for enter
ing small ports on the coast, and trading
in oil for supplies of wood and water, a
customary practice, and one within the
knowledge of the Government for the
last thirty years.
A letter published in the New York
Gazette and Times, from the same place,
confirms the information, and attributes
the act to sonic offence taken by Brazil.
The writer says great trouble and ex
pense will result to Americans from these
seizures, as all Whalers out, not warned
of the facts, will call for supplies at the
same places, and be seized by die authori
ties. Another New York paper' confirms the
above, and states that the U. S. brig Bain
bridge sailed on the 15th for the vicinity
of the Rio Grande, to warn Whalers of
the danger of pulling into that port.
Since the Brazilian difficulties first com
menced, the above brig has been actively
engaged, and it is said to have rendered
much service to our commerce.
Mr. Tod, our new Minister to Brazil,
sailed in ihe Ohio, sonic lime since, and
it is to be hoped an 'am (cable adjustment
and the difficulties can be affected on his
arrival at Rio.
The Brandy wine will sail for this sta
tion as soon as the complement of her
crew can be obtained. Pin. (Jaz.

RETURN OF INDIANS
We gave, a few days eince, an article
from a St, Louis .paper noticing the ar
rival at that city of a party of Seneca In
dians, on their way to their former homes
in New York from the country west of
the Mississippi, where they had been in
duced to remove, "about a year since, by
the United States agent and others. The
party, numbering forty-five, reached Buf
falo tm the 28th ultimo, in charge of Dr.
Peter Willsou, an intelligent, educated
Indian chief, who had been deputed for
the purpose. About thirty more are on
their way back. These, with the excep
tion of some six or eight, who remain a
short time to', dispose- of the few effects
preserved by tlic tribe, ate all that survive
out of two hundred and thirteen reported
by the agent as having been removed.
The story of their u8erings, were it not
borne oat by the frightful mortality that
s prevailed, and the sickly and emacia
ted countenances of he survivors, woold
appear incredible. In many instances
both parents and children, after a delirium
of ccveral days, fonnd themselves child
less or orphans, the parent or child hav
ing been consigned to their mother-earth
during their delirium. The Government
wade no provision for their comfort, and
the rations distributed among them were
in many instances of inferior quality.
The annuity due them for 1813 has been
withheld, and has not been paid thcui to
this day. "
Soon after their arrival at the West,
where thev had been seduced by cun-
niugly -devised talcs, pathetic appeals were
made by them to their friends in New
York for aid to return. Application was
made both to the National and State Gov
ernments without success, when the
necessary amount was obtained by indi
vidual contributions, mostly from their
devoted and steadfast Quaker friends in
Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York.
When Dr. W. appeared among them, like
Moses among the Israelites, he was re
garded as their deliverer, and although
many were in feeble health they eagerly
embraced the opportunity to return at the
risk of their lives. Two died oil the
way. Buffalo Coin. Adv.
Church Struck with Lightning and
Destroyed. During the heavy thunder
shower of yesterday afternoon, the Ger
man Lutheran Church, at the north-east
corner of St. Johu and Brown streets,
Northern Liberties, was struck by light
ning and destroyed. The electric fluid
passed down the steeple, and in a few
moments the front interior of the building
was enveloped in flames, the fluid having
as is supposed, communicated with the
organ, which was located immediately
tinder the steeple. The flames spread
with fearful rapidity, and in a short time
the steeple fell into the building, giving
the scene a terrific effect, and contributing
largely to the destruction of the lower
portion of the church. The steeple con
tained two bells and a clock, Yery lit
tle of the inner wood-work is saved, leav
ing scarcely anything but the walls of the
building, which arc of bricks Some por
tion of the furniture, and one of the or
gans in a damaged condition have been
saved. Wc learn that the building, with
the furniture, clock, bells, &c., cost about
twenty-one thousand dollars ; and that
there 13 an insurance upon the building
for $8000, and upon the clock and bells
for $1290. The congregation had been
dismissed about ten or fifteen minutes be
fore the ignition of the building, some of
whom had only left the house one or two
minutes previously. Very fortuaately no
one was in the building at the time.
Phil. N. Am., of July 26.
Spirited Competition. An auction
sale took place in the Philadelphia Ex
change on Tuesday week, f a piece of
property. The bidding commenced at
$700 by two jkxsous. and was continued
until it reached $1,000, each advancing
$5 at a time upon the other. The parlies
were sitting one to the right and the other
to the left of the auctioneer, causing him
to turn his head so often as he received
the bids of each, that old stager as he is,
was forced from fatigue to resign the task
of disposing of the property to his clerk.
The bidding was then continued by the
same persons, each going $5 better until
it rea. hed $2,000. when one of tliem bid
a cool $500 to scare off his competitor.
Thi3 failed to accomplish his object,
however, and the $5 advance was bid
with as much sangfroid as if nothing had
happened. Neither party seemed dis
mayed, and the bidding proceeded with
out flagging in spirit, until reaching $3,
105, one of the competitors backed out,
and the property was struck off to the
most ob tinate of the two who had con
fined himself exclusively to $5 bids, much
to the gratification of the attdicuce who
had witnessed the competition.
A Good Joke. A correspondent of
the Trenton Gazette, states that, on the
arrival of the President at Philadelphia,
the svpes of Arch-st. Theatre, not wish
ing to be outdone by their neighbours,
threw to the breeze one of the famous
flags used in 18 H, with the following in
scription in the tallest kind of letters,
uPolk, f)alas, Shunk. and the Tariff
o'42;" whercupou rose a shout which
would have done honor to the unlerrijied
of that evcntlul year. So matters stood
for about an hour, when some of the older
boys suggested an improvement by cut
ting ojjrthe Turiffx thus making un
wittingly more of Mr. Polks intrigue for
office, and his administration, than either
the young or the old boys . intended.

The Potato RoT.-Mr. Orrin A. Tur
ner, of Hamburgh, in this county,' has
shown us some potato vines with the
supposed cause of the disease which has
so extensively prevailed in this vegetable
for a few years past. . It is a wonn a-
bout three quarters of an inch in length,
which makes its way through the vine
and is supposed to impregnate the root.
On nearly air the vines was found a bug,
and many of the leaves bore the marks of
having been 6tung. If this is not the
cause of tire rot, it is sufficient to destroy
the potato, and render its cultivation
abortive. We are told that nearly all the
vines were in this condition. Mr. T.
thinks, from what observation he has
been able to make, that this worm, and
its attendants, have been the cause of the
wide spread disease among potatoes,
which has been as an almost universal
destroyer throughout the world. Buffalo

Lamentable Catastrophe at New
Brighton. Two Lives lost by Drown
ing. On Thursday, as two children of
Mr. B. R. Winthrop and two children of
Mr. Jeseph Kernochan, attended by their
nurses, a waiter and a coachman, were
entering a row-boat at the above place,
ne of the company, in stepping on the
gunwale of the boat, instantly tipsct the
whole company into the water. Through
the instrumentality of two apprentices,
(one a mere lad,) who were standing bv,
the lives of all were saved, except one of
Mr Wmthrop 8 childi en, aged six years
and the nurse of Mr. Kernochao, It seems
the latter had the child in her lap at the
time of the accident.
Too great praise cannot be given to
these lads for the praiseworthy act, espe
cially when a number of men were stand
ing by, who offered no assistance. When
we learn their names we will mention
