to notify me of the fict that you had la
Lm possession of this city, fov the pur
pose, as you declare, of restoring to the

ihe nsssrtion of your Excellency, which
implies that the inhabitants of Puebia
J.ave been maltreated by theU. S. troops,
1 wholly deny it. On the contrary, 1
assure you that the properly r.nd privile
res of all have been maintained and re-
t-pected with the greatest scrupulousness,
indeed, so much so has it ben done, that
its parallel cannot be found in the annals
if war. And I would m-jst willingly
leave it to the most intelligent and impar
tial portion of the population of the city to
liecide, from which of lha two contending
parties they have received the most injury
tmd molestation, whether it is from their
Aj-vn countrymen or the troops of ihe U
jihed States. ;
With regard to that particular part of
your Excellency's letter which demands
ihe surrender, within a fixed ti ne, of r.U
the positions now occupied by the troops
trader my command, I can or.lv mv in

provide water power for 56 large cotton

carrying irom 18,000 to 27,C00; spindles
each,. according to the fineness of the
fabric manufactured about eleven hun
dred ' thousand at least together with a
power for machine shops and other pur
poses. The primary canal is to be 30
feet deep,' 110 feet wide at its head, and
80 at its terminus.. The water is to be
conducted by a parallel canal, to near the
head of the first, , where it - will be dis
charged into .another, which is to extend
eircuitiously. about ;a mile and a half.
These different canals are to furnish the
50 mills and a proportionate number of
machine shops with the power requisite
to their oncratitms. The foundations of
several large Mills arc to be laid this fall.

some object" This is the second time
he has been tried and acquitted; and he
has yet lo be tried with Kirch with con

writer says "It has been a farce from be-

GEN. TAYLOR.
. '.The Baltimore American, one of the

this Language: "Finally, and at any rate,
we gather from the indications in Ken

and other Stales, that General Taylor is
actually in the field. He has not made
himself a candidate for the Presidency,
the People have done it. lie has an
nounced the terms upon which he will
stand, and those te ceptcd. Gen.
Taylor is in the field; he trill not with

retreats: -he never surrenders The

him as their own. Conventions may
recognize, but they cannot appropriate
him. George Washington is now to have

Episcopal Diocese or New York.
The friends of Bishop Onderdonk ask
the Episcopal General Convention tore
stora him unconditionally to the office of

been suspended. Hi3 opponents among
the clergy and laity desire to have the di

elected by the present Convention. It
has been decided by tho Convention now
in session, that "the sentence of suspen
sion pronounced upon Bishop Onderdonk
is valid, Ufat the diocese is not vacant,
and that neither a new Bishop nor an as
sistant can be elected;" but a provisional
one, from a neighboring diocese may be
elected, with as full canonical authority as
though he were the regular diocesan.

ROMAN CATHOLIC CONVERTS.
: From the Courier and Enquirer.
' The Catholic Herald states that Prof.
George Allen of the University of Penn
sylvania, with his wife and five children,
vere admitted, 'a few days since, to the
communion of the Roman Catholic church.
Prof. A was formerly connected with
Newark College, Delaware, and is kitown
as one of the ripest and most accomplish
ed scholars in the country. He was lor
mcrly a priest in the Protestant Episco
nal church.
The same paper says that a family of
six persons in a New England village,
the name of which is not given, has also
very recently joined the Roman Catholic
communion. We presume that Burling

About a fortnight since, as Mrs. McKen
sie, of White Sand?, Prince Edward's
Island, was going to the woods in search
of her cows, accompanied by her son, a
lad about 11 years of ?ge, and a dog,
they met with a bear, when in the act of
stepping over a windfall, which immedi
ately seized the child. The dog at once
attacked the bear, and, together wiih Mrs.
M. who seized a club and beat him till the
blood run out of his nostrils, succeeded
in driving the beast towards the wood. -The
child was very much injured, and
had it not been for the assistance of his
mother and her faithful dog, he would
probably have been killed. The bear had
been seen prowling about the neighbor
hood for soir3 time previous, accompa
nied by two cr three others, and hid done
much damage among the cattle.
All the world is aware of the sufferings
lately endured in Ireland and Scotland
from the failure of last year's crops; but,
it is not, perhaps, so well known to what
extent these sufferings have been increas
ed, and are even nof increased, by the c
viciion of tenantry from estates which
their owners find it their interest to con
vert into sheep farms; nor have we any
just idea of the inconceivable misery of
the factory operatives and rural laborers
of the once "merry" England, where a
family earns, and must live upon, 5s. to
Ss. a'week. while it takes 2Cs. a week ta

High Prices. The Kingston (Cana

town states that in 1790 his father paid
18 a bushel of corn to plant, it being a
year of almost famine in that vicinity.
The Detroit Free Press, copying the a
bove, adds, We too, can say a word about
high prices. A cargo of flour arrived
here in 1815, from Erie, at S6 per barrel
for the freight. In 18 16 flour was sold
here at $25 a barrel, and early in the
spring ol 1818 it was retailed by the 20

at $3 the bushel.'
