'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.

' ""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.

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. "2d. In 1843, Mr# Bredall arrived at Vera Cruz, with passports granted him by the Mexican consul at New Orleans. He presented them to the proper authorities, but was arrested and imprisoned on the charge of a design upon the life of Gen. Santa Arms. ; During his detention he suffered the most Wanton, cruel, and humiliating indignities and pri vations; -and upon his release, he reached New Or leans in a helpless and shattered condition; his Con stitution broken; his hearing destroyed, and sink ing under a hopeletts - consuinption.- It is proper to remark that the British mister demanded and oh "leaned liberal damages on behalf of three British-sub jects who - were impri:loiterd with; Alr.'

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 ington, October 13, 1812.

In the war in which the country is now engaged, his course has been that of a patriot and a statesman, and all the acts of his administration give the as. surance that the suffrages of the great republican party of the Union were given to one who was in all respects worthy of them. &solved, That the Delegates elected by . this Convention, are hereby instructed to use all honor able means to secure the re-nomination of Gover nor SH UNK by the Democratic Convention, to be held at Harrisburg on the 4th of March neat.

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.

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 ty who has been declared innocent of the charge against him,is unconstitutional, illegal and void."
