Decanting prior _to December 2d, 1837, Will be
found' in a - letter, of the Hon. John Forsyth, Secre-\

-ed with the'annual message of that year. Of these
causes embraced in the letter of Mr. Forsyth, be
.in
i
fifty-seven in number, we give the following)
as specimens of the rest: •
"N0.:9. 77 •8i150 CaTo.-- , This vessel was board.i
ed it Alvarado oa the 26th of August, 1824, byl
some twenty-. men,' who rifled her of" $2,701 dol.
iaralti'speeiei and of numerous other articles.—
:After 'threatening the life of the captain and wound
ing two of the crew; they Set the vessel adrift by
• "Cutting her.chain cable, which, with the anchor,
were lost-, The claim in this case is for $1544."
-' "No. 13.=-13010 Demeter, of Philadelphia.--A
DOUBLY 'carit.-This 'vessel in March, 1835,
touched at San Bias, where the officers of the, cus
'font-441Se compelled the conveyance of her cargo
over a' mile to the custom-house stores, and i!s re
shipment.- The damage to the owners was! esti• I
mated at $3,716 48: The same vessel entered the
port of Sisal in September of the same year, where
• she was seized by the collector with an armed
force, part of her cargo forced on shore, her hatch- I
brokeiloopen, and the cargotaken to the cusfom-
Estimate of damages arising front the
'condeinnation and
-.sale of the cargo, &c., $lB,-
,692 5.1. The Mexican secretary of the treasury ,
has assured Mr. Poinsett that an order had been
given -to release the vessel and cargo. Mr. Pain- I
sett pronounced' this one of the most flagrant and ,
unjustifiable violations of the property of Amerh
- can citizens on record. •
" No. 14 —Saloom En Run AMERICAN, Of r 331 .1
timore.This vessel arrived at Refugia, .lan, 41 1 h,
'1826, was admitted to entryi landed her cargo un- I
der permit, and in part removed it to town, when
the'whole was seized by the Mexican authorities
andd - confiscated and sold. The Mexican consul at
Baltimore afterwards requested of his government
- that the property might be restored and the owner
indemnified. -Mr. Wilson's claim for damages is
.850,225 - 21, the justice of which was underitoodl
to be acknowledged by the Mexican government.
Tcethe demand of the American minister for dam
ages in this case, the Mexican government shade
evasive replies, end made no answer to his last!
nate on the
"No. 27.---John Baldwin, an American citizen '
complains of gross and outrageous treatment •at
bunts of the alcalde of Minotitlan in Guazctialco.i
He asserts that the alcalde was interested in a suit
which was - brought against him by one of his
',creatures. Some hl:ercation occuring at the pro-'
,ceedings berme the alcalde, he was ordered to the
.atocks.- lie refused to submit, and in attempting
4.-...eicape 'was shot at, and severely injured by a,
Sall.. • He- was captured, made to stand in the
"motif's; and afterwards imprisoned. The Mexican
govenimein were informed subsequently that the'
yaifed States goVernment .would regard this a na
tional'question.' The,reply of the Mexican execu
tive was, that it was a matter of judicial inVesti
:gation, &C-:
PATO. 28.—Scnoossa TOPAZ.—The master of
this vessel contractec, in 1832, , to transport 150
,Mexican soldiers from Matamoras to Galveston:,
-During the passage the master and mate were:kill
'el Ity'theMexican officers, and the crew were j
forced to run the vesiel into Anahuac: Here
'were'imprisoned on a charge of killing their ican•
tain and mate, and attempts were made by the!
'officers above mentioned to make them confess to
that crime. They were at last liberated on their
:agreement to be, bound to the officers to serve
theta . fer. three. years._ One of them subsequently
_escaped to the United States, and testified to .the
ficts above stated. He states that the Mexican
o fleets divided the captain's money between theirs.
Ile thinks he had 3,000 or 4,000 dollars.
' ' NO. 40.—The schooner Harriett Elizabeth
Was stratified near Matagorda, in 1835. While in
` thiesituatien she was fired upon by a Mestican
*header, and her captain, crew, and passerigers
circled to Matamoros and imprisoned. Repara
.-tion was demanded by Mr. Ellis, in 1836; but
- has never lxeo given by the Mexican govern
.
--naent.
' ""No.'42.—The brig Jane and four other vessels
we're detained at Matamoros, in 1836, contrary to
express treaty- stipulations, and when reparation
-.was demanded, the excuse rendered for the outrage
was, that certain hostile vessels were cruising in
•''tlinse waters, and that the orders by which, the
'3.ine..&c.; were detained, were without authOrity
_Trent the supreme government. No reparation
~war, however, granted.
No. 43.—1 n 1536 the brig Eclipse was seized
-at Tabasco, (on what ground does not appear,) her
crew insulted and maltreated. an I her captain
prisorrd. Amount claimed f. r tie seizure of-this
vase!, 11.9,-157.
"No. 44—Mr. Coleman, acting consul of the
tThaited-• States at Tabasco, was summoned before
the authorities, in 1836, and publicly insulted
and ill-treated, because he refused to legalize, cer
tain documents,, the result of which wotildebe to
defraud:
45.--The schooner Aurora was stranded
•on the coast of Mexico in 1836. A part of ' the .
cargo was landed by the crew, when it was imme
f.diately taken possession of by anarmed
,body of
31.exicatis. On the crew remonstrating against
these proceedings, they were insulted, maltreated,'
and the mate seriously injured. Thereupon, 'the
erhtv proceeded to Tabasco, and delivered the,
, -goods .over to- our consul at that place, who; on'
taking-possession thereof, finuad that over one-half
'lhed been.plandered.
Was prepOsed to' sell the brig
Fourth-of July to the Mexican goVernment;, but
vYhite the negotiation was going
on,-she was taken
tidisessian "
of by the Mexican -authorities-and the
MeXlead flag'hoetited: Mr. Ellie, then our. Minis,
tar in Mexico, deniandedthe release of the vessel,
to which demand an answer had been returned: ,
"'No. 4t0.-in 1836, Williain Hallett and Zal.

vent his:bite:l . 64oin the matter. 'i The house was
searchoffo4 - tlie :consul himself, and much of his
properti stolen.
..."110..fi1.:.-:—The , ArrieriCan citizens at Tampico
baying requested that a - man-of,ivar might be sent
fOr their protection, Lieut. Osborne, 'with a boat's
crew from the revenue cutter Jefferson, proceeded
there,, when he was arrested by the authorities,
carried off, and examined. Orihiiretiim; he leani:'
ed that his crew had also been arrested, and held
for A long time in confinement. Gomez, who
committed these outrages, was.removed therefor
by the supreme government, but ; was subsequent
ly appointed commandant at Vera Cruz.
53.—Tur. seitooarga Was. A. Turman;
of • which James O'Flahefty was master, was seiz
ed off Sisal, in 1.834,ibi an armed Mexican force.
The :vessel was released after Capt. OT. had given
bonds for her value. In 1830,. his vessel was
again seized, hirnielf confined, liberated, and after
entering into bonds for $1,200, his vessel released.
Soon after, the vessel was again seized, and the
captain confined-in the cabin, from whence he was
sent as a prisoner to. Tabasco. From this place,
where he had been confined in the public prison, he
was conveyed, still-as a prisoner, to Campeachy,
and cast a second time into confinement.
" Capt. cur.. is entirely ignorant of the cause of
these repeated indignaties, and at no time has any
charge been preferred against him.
" He claims, for the loss of property, 518,000."
It was in reference to cases of outrages like,
these, as certained and stated in the letter of .11 , 1r.1
Forsyth, that General Jackson, in 1637, in his I
message, used the following remarkable and em-1
phatic language: •
That the length of time since some of the injuries
have twin committed, the repeated and unavailing
applications for redress, the wanton character of
some of the outrages upon the property and persons
of o•nr citizens, upon the officers and flag of the Uni
ted Slates, independent of recent insults to this gov
ernment and people by the late extraordinary Mexi
can minister, WOULD JUSTIFY, lA' THE
EYES OF .dLL IMMEDIATE
WI R."
But the whole extent and enormity of Mexican
insult and outrage, had•not then become known to
the government of the United States. Twelve ad
ditional cases occuring prior to December, 1837,
were afterwards made known. From these we
select the tWo following instances of the imprison
ment and murder of American citizens:
"No. 67.—Msnr litmus*, WIDOW' or GEORGE
MIMES, MASTER OF TH It BRIO 'JOON•' of N. Y.--
The brig %John,' lying at anchor in the river Ta
basco in 1814 was boarded and captured by an
armed force, on i pretext altogether unfounded.
Capt. Hughes was knocked down, cruelly beaten
with the buts of the muskets of the boarding party,
carried off and imprisoned, and the cargo and
stores of the vessel plundered. Capt. Hughes sub
serviently died from the wounds received on this
occasion.
“Mary Hughes claims, reparation therefor.
"No. ti,S.—hu es CocnnAtcr., engineer of the
steamer Hidalgo, was impress.ed into the Mexican
service together with the boat, in 1832—cruelly
and ignominiously treated, and compelled to do
duty as engineer for two months. lie claims re
paration fur the breaking up of his business, and
tor false imprisonment.”
Thus it appears that sixty nine instances of at
trocity like these, constituted the case of the Uni
ted States against Mexico, as ascertained in pub
he documents, prior tb the 2d Decem•bsr, I SU7.
Since that time, this shameful catalogue of Alexi
cart wrong-doing, violence, and insult, has extend
ed to twenty-six additiotal cases. It will be re
marked that, of these latter cases, a very large
proportion are cases of wanton cruelty and rio.
knee perpetrated upon the persons of American
citizens. The following are instances of what we
assert:
7n.—CLAIN OT SAMUEL BALDWIS Mr
8., a citizen of the L'nited States, settled in :Nlesi•
co some years since, and had acquired considera
ble property. Oa the most frivolous pretext, he
Iwas seized and thrown into the public prison with
the vilest criminals. While there, additional charges
were fabricated against him; he was loaded with
irons, poison was given him in his coffee, and he
endured the most unparalleled sufferings from the
brutal treatment of one Gomez, his jailor. From
Acayuacan, where these barbarities were commit
, ted, Mr. B. was sent to Vera Cruz, and cast into a
wet and filthy jail in the castle of San Juan de Cl. Ina. On his journey, which was performed on a
jackass, he was compelled to support the heavy
birder of his chains, from which resulted an incu
rabic lameness. For these unparalleled outrages
no redress has been received from the Mexican
government.
No. 71.—Cz•lais OP Ilssoir B. HOUTON, WAS,
TEO W. ADAM, .1 ND JANI ES KELLES.—The
ants. seamen on board the American barque 'Bog.
er Williams,' having been paid off and discharged
at Monterey, California, in 1840, were waiting for
an opportunity to return home, when they, togeth
er with other Americans, were seized and conduct
-ed to prison. They obtained their release, but
were a second time arrested, robbed, and cast into
jail, no cause for their commitment ever having
been assigned.
"Vo• 7 . 2.--Cii.Arsi or WILLIAM LOUD ETEIERIDCFX
Tnosissos.—Thompson, an American seaman,.
was wrecked near San Bias, in 1838. In ISt° he
was twice arrested and thrown into prison—no
cause whatever being assigned for his detention in
either case. After suffering the most cruel treat
ment, he was released; hut found, on his return to
the farm where he had labored since his shipwreck
in 1838, that all his property had been taken from
him.
"No redress has ever been granted by the Mexi
can government."
"No. 74.--C1.11115 OF ISAAC GRAHAM. WILLIAM
Curnett, JOSEPH L. MAJORS, CHARLES Snows,
AND OTHERS.--TIICSe Americans, with six others,
were seized in California, where they were engaged
; in business, in April, 1540, by the Mexican authori
, ties, without any just cause or provocation, any
thrown into prison. From their memorial to the
Department of State, it appears that they received
the most barbarous treatment. After being con.
veyed from one place to another in the lower hold
of vessels and in chains—six being confined to one
bar of iron—they were finally set at liberty in the
city of Tepeclltvithout any reason being assigned
by the Mexican Government for its outrageous
proceeding against them. It also appears that at
the time of his arrezt, the house of Mr. Graham
was surrounded, fired into, and $36,000 in specie
plundered therefrom.
"No. 73.—Ctstbrs or A. C. 'Barnett, or NEW
On LEANS.--ist: The schooner Lodi, with a yob/a.
hie cargo of lawful goods. both belonging to Mr.
Bredall, sailed from New Orleans in May, 1535,
bound for Matamoros in Mexico. On her arrival
there, without any allegation of offence committed
or contemplated, she was seized, her cargo landed,
exposed, and pillaged. After a long detention, the
cargo and vessel was restored; but the latter was
so much.injured by worms, and her sails, rigging,
and stores so much damaged that she was obliged
to ke run on shore on her passage back to New
Orleans, in order to save the lives of the passengers
and crew. A total loss of the vessel and cargo
was the consequence.

The character of - these Mexican outrages, being
ninety-five in all, is well summed up in a letter ad
dressed by Mr. Forsyth, Secretary of State, to the
Mexican Minister of Foreign Affairs, under date
of May 27th, 1837. In that letter Mr. Forsyth
says:
These wrongs are of a character which cannot
be tolerated by any government imbibed with a
just self respect, with a proper regard for the opine
ions of other nations, or with an enlightened con
cern for the permanent welfare of - those portions
of its people who may •be interested in foreign
, commerce. Treasure belonging to citizens of the
I United States has been seitied by Mexican officers,
in its transit from the capital to the
,coast. Ves
sels of the United States have been captured, de.
tained, and condemned upon the most-frivolous
pretexts. Duties have been exacted from others,
notoriously against law, or without law. Others
have been employed, and in some instances ruined,
is the Mexican service, without compensation to
I the owners. Citizens of the United States hare been
imprisoned for long periods of time. without beingin
formed of the offences with which they were ehargid.
Others hare been murdered and robbed by Mexican of.
' firers, on the high leas, without any attenpt to bring
the guilty to justice."
During the war of 1812, the Hon. DANIEL
Warisrsa spoke of the patriotic Madison in the
following outrageous style. The federal orators
and editors of the present day employ similar Lan
guage in speaking, of President Folk and the war
with Mexico:
"James Madison—this modem Nero—this
worthless confederate of Napoleon Bonaparte.
Despised at home and abroad. This obstinate,
infatuated man, who plunges us into a wanton,
wicked war. A cringing coward. Our cowardly
captain general, who galloped his poor beast thirty
miles from the battle ground. The baseness, cow.
entice and perfidy of James Madison. The crazy
head, the idle, vaunting bragadocio, the more cow
4dly he acts the more heroically he talks. The
conduct of such a man is in the highest measure
disgusting and degrading. Can we wonder that
England (Mexico) dallies with us, when she has
such a buffoon to deal with?'
During the last war the s iational Intelligencer,
at Washington City, was a Democratic paper, and
!supported .Mr. MADISON and the war in the ahlest
manner. The editor took the same view of the
war question then, that the Democracy now do
of the war with Mexico. From the Inteligencer ,
of October 13, 1812, we make the following ex
tract. We adopt its language as applicable to the
federal opponents of the present war.
There are other ways of aiding an enemy than
by deserting to his standard: Those serve him
quite as effectually who seize every opportunity
to dishearten the patriotic armies of our country, and,
thus encourage the enemy. When we take this
view (and it can he with no other) facts are dis
colored and perverted, to the injury of tie country's ,
cause, those who are wilfully concerned in such!
DETESTABLE toxnncr are guilty of a MORAL
TREASON, at least, though their offence is, per
haps nut cognizable by law. And really, when
we see the infamous conduct in this respect, of cer
tain ct.enlcaL and editorial personages, we cannot
but violently suspect they want but the power to
serre the enemy in any way that would not put their
lives in jeopardy. - -National Intelligencer, Wash

FUN IN COURT
There is not within the limits of this city, nor
in the suburbs, a person who does not know, either
personally or by reputatior4 the old "Bill Poster"
of the Pittsburgh Theatre••-•.-WILLIA7II GALLAGHER;
who is generally called for short, Billy Gallagher.
He is universally known as a versatile genius,
though of late he has not occupied any very con
spicuous place in society, having been superseded
in his histrionic vocation by the illustrious Citizen
Swankie. Yet Mr. Gallagher is remembered by
all the old inhabitants of the city with much re
spect
But we must , come to the gist of what we in
tended to write about.
Our good friend Gallagher has given his efforts
lately to the keeping of a public house in the Dia
mond. It appears by the Grading of a Grand Jury
that he has, by some inadvertence, infringed the
laws of his adopted country, by selling liquor
without the proper authority. For this offence, he
was yesterday called into the Quarter Sessions to
answer. As near as we can recollect, the follow_
ing is the substance of the examination by the
Court t
Judge Patton—William .:lallag,her. [Here Mr.
G, appeared before their honors in great good hu
mor.) What have you to say to this charge?
.31r. Gallagher—:-Why, sure yer honor, I acted
accordin' to v hat you touhl me. Didn't ye say
that I'd get licence, but tlia.tye'd call an' ECC me
bO9BC? An' so I kept open for ye iver since, but
fete niver come. [Here the Court, bar and spec
tators gave up to a flit of laughter]
Judge Patton-4lavo you been selling liquor
lately?
Mr. G.—No, sir, I've not—not yet, but I still
kept open, expectin' that yed cant an' see me long
afore this. (Renewed laughted
Judge P.—Well, I believe I did make such a
promise.' How many beds have youth your house?
Mr. G.—About twenty-fire, sir.
Judge P.—liare you a stable?
Mr. G.—Yes,,bir. Judge Kerr there beside ye
(here Billy pointed and nodded at the Associate on
the Bench] has been in my house, and can spake for
me. (Laughter continued.),
Judge Kerr—l have been in the gentleman's
house, and can say that he has ; much room.
Judge Patton, who, during the dialogue, had en
joyed, in common with all present, the humor ex.
hi bited by the old 4:Bill Poster," here suggested that
Judge Porter should try
_the cause, and he and
Judge Kerr should become Witnesses, as they both
appeared to be implicated in the affair. But the
acting Deputy Attormiy, General, Mr. Eyster, sta
ted that he was not ready, and requested Mr. Gal
lagher to call again on Saturday morning.
The people of Birmingham are going to
have a new school house! Good.
cc? Manager Porter opensin Wheeling on Mon
day evening next. The Councils of the city have
granted him the use of the town house for the
dramatic exhibitions. His !will be the Lest com
pany that ever visited Wheeling.
(People begin to talk of building houses for
the Poor. We like the idea much better than
building "Poor Houses." There is a material da
ference, we contend. l
We have a plan, Which we find In an eastefh
paper, for-houses for the Poor,' which we shall
publish soon for the purpose of calling the attention
of our good men, (if we have any,) to it:
We will just state that we have no hope that any
thing will be done itt the -matter for the present.

Reed with'the crime of counterfeiting the 'coin of
the United States; and in pursuance of the conspi.
racy with hiving arrested the said Archibald, con.
Shed him in prison,and had him indicted in the
• -
District goad of the :United States. It also furth
er set forth, in accordance with the - facts; - that
there was no evidence beforethe'Graild Jury, to
sustain the said indictment, and that in consequence
it was found 4 mot a true bill."
Lutz was not on his trial, having fled from jus
tice, and the juryiaow enaparmelled to try the oth;
$r two, without him.
Mecaky resided in Beaver county, and for along
time has acted in special cases as a police officer,
for which business he is said to possess extraordi
nary qualifications. Richards has been a regular
police officer in Pittiburgh,cornmissioned by May
or. Kerr.
In the early - part of last summer, Lutz'was in
jail on a charge of burglary; and besides was an
old offender, and had broken jail once or twice.—
He communicated tO Richards a well constracted
story in reference c ec's his own knowledge of coun
terfeiting, and his connection with sundry persons
whom he represented to be engaged in that busi
-1 ness. Beaver county, and especially Fallatorlnd
that neighborhood; were . represented as one- of the
principal sites in which it Was carried on. Rich
ards communicated the information to the attorney - ,
for the United States at Pittsburgh. Ile instructed
Richards to-go on, visit Linz from day to day, and
obtain from him all the developments that he
would bewilling to give, 'and to make memoranda
of the same in writing. When this was done, the
attorney of the United States wrote to Mr. James
Cunningearn, of Beaver, detailing the informa
tion that had been received from Lutz, and asking
him to select a suitable person in that county to
efamine and look up the affair. Mr. Cunningham
selected Slecasky, whom he recommended as a
"shrewd, long-headed fellow--possessing great sa
gacity, indomitable courage and perseverance, and
a most profound knowledge of human nature."—
Mecasky came twice to Pittsburgh in reference to
the business, and had interviews with Richards,
though it was not shewn that he had seen Lutz
personally.
Richardi determined to bail Lutz hirasell, so that
be might get him out and have his information ta.
ken against the individuals implicated.
The information of Lutz was taken, according.
ly, before Judge IrWin, who immediately issued a
warrant for the arrest of sundry individuals named
in the information. Amongst the names was that
of one. Reed. The Marshall of the District
deputed Richards to execute the warrant. • Itch
ards proceeded with Lute and three four assist
ants to Beaver for that purpose. The. Reed men
tioned in the information, Lutz had stayed to reside
in the vicinity of Fallston. He had also represent :
ed that there was to be a general meeting of the
counterfeiters from a distance, e i s well as near, about
this title.' After reaching the place, and captor,
ing old coal pits, and making other examinations
for eight 0; ten days, without success, Mecasky
was written for, and he came. Ile, Richards and
one or two others had a private meeting its the
town of Beaver. Archibald Reed resided in Enon
Valley, some 14 or 15 miles off. It appeared that
there had been an old grudge or diffierence between
him and Mecasky. Richards and the others fold
the result of their operations and searches, and all
the information which they had been able to iatti
et.. They also expressed their convictions that the
counterfeiters had got information of what was
going on, and had made their escape from that
quarter. Some one conjectured that they had gone
to Enon Valley. A plan was laid, at once. Me
casky suspected Archibald Reed; because, as he
said, he believed him to be a dishonest tnan, and
one on n - horn he had had his eye. Measures were
adopted to surround his house at night, and watch
every movement till the morning light, when the
arrest was to be made. On Sunday morning the
19th July, Reed was arrested, and his house search
ed, but nothing of a suspicious character discover
ed. He was immediately put in a carriage and
brought to Pittsburgh, where he was detained in
custody till liberated on bail ths, day following.
At the October term of the
.District Court of the
United States, there being no evidence to produce
before the Grand Jury, the Bill against Archibald
Reed was foUnd "not a true Bill."
An indictment against Lutz for perjury In mak
ingi the information was immediately sent up an 3
was returned a "True Bill," But Lutz had alrea
dy made his escape, and has not yet been heard
of.
Archibald Reed, considering himself aggrieved
by these transactions, prosecuted Mecasky and
Richards for a conspiracy, the proceedings of
which the above is a brief out?ine.
The case was one of considerable interest,
from the importance of some of the questions
which arose in the course of the trial; and of still
greater to the parties, both the Prosecutor and
the Defendants, from the issue at stake.
- After a protracted investigation, the case was
given' to the Jury on Wednesday evening, at S
o'clock, in a learned and excellent charge from
Judge Patton. The following morning the Jury
returned a sealed verdict finding the Defendants
"Not Guilty," but that they should pay the costs.
A'motion in arrest of judgment has been made
on behalf of the Defendants, and a number of rea
sons assigned. One of the reasons, and one which
strikes us as a very strong one,,ia the following:—
"That a verdict which imposes the costs on a par

against him,is unconstitutional, illegal and void."
