force should any European power attempt
to establish any new colony in North America. In
the existing circumstances of the world, the present
is deemed a proper occasion to reiterate and re-affirm
the principle avowed by Mr. Monroe, and to state
my cordial concurrence in its wisdom and policy.—
The reassertion of this principle especially in refer
ence to North America, is ' at this day, but the pro
mulgation of a policy which no European power
should cherish the disposition to resist. The exist
ing rights of every European nation should be re
spected; but it is due alike to our safety and our in
terest that the efficient protection of our laws should
be extended over our whole territorial limits; and it
should be distinctly announced to the world as our
settled policy, that no future European colony or
dominion shall, with our consent, be planted or es
tablished on any part of the American continent.—
Our own security requires that the established policy
thus announced should guide our conduct, and this
applies with great force to the Peninsula of Yucatan.
It is situated in the Gulf of Mexico, on the North
American continent; and from its vicinity to Cuba,
to the Capes of Florida, to New Orleans, and, in
deed to our whole south-western coast, it would be
dangerous to our peace and security if it should be
come a colony of any European nation. We have
now authentic inhumation that if the aid asked from
the United States be not granted,such aid will. pro
bably be obtained from some European power,
which may hereafter assert a claim to dominion and
sovereignty over Yucatan.
Our existing relations with Yucatan are of a'pe.
culinr character, as will be perceived from the note
of the Secretary to their commissioner, dated on
the 24th of December last, a copy of which is here
with transmitted. Yucatan has never declared her
independence, and we have treated her as a State of
the Mexican Republic. For this reason we have
never officially received her -Commissioner ; but
whilst this is the case, we have, toga considerable ex
tent, recogn'zed her as a neutral in our war with
Mexico. Whilst still considering Yucatan as a por
tion of Mexico, if we had troop to spare for this
purpose, I would deem it proper during the contin
uance of the war with Mexico, to occupy and hold
military possession or her territory, and to defend
the white inhabitants against the incursions of the
Indians in the same way that we have employed our
. troops in other Sytes of the Mexican Republic in
our possession, in repelling the attacks of the sav
ages' upon :the inhabitants, who have maintained
their neutrality in the .war ; but, unfortunately, we
cannot, at the present time, without serious danger,
withdraw our threes from the other portions of the
Mexican territory; now in our occupation, and send
them to Yucatan.- '
All that can bercione under existingcircumstances,
is to employ our naval forces in the Gulf, not re
quired at other points, to afford them relief. But it
is nut to be expected that any adequate protection
ca ittli us be afforded, as the operations of such naval
forces must of necessity be confined to the coast. I
have considered it proper to communicate the infor-.
mation contained . in the accompanying correspond
ence; and I submit to the wisdom of Congress to
adopt such measuresas in their judgment may be ex
pedient, to prevent the people of Yucatan froM be
coming the colony of any European power, or of
being expelled from their country.

The - editors of the Gazette try to Maki a greet
flourish about d•etatrtnent of,Ours in relation to this .
letter, which wit gave on Setur4y.
we inserted tble.Seeretaryit letter alone, solely lie;
eiiuse, they had declined publishing,iti ye were
perfectly willing to• Publish the - letter of Gen. Scott;
and would have done so, if we could have got it:Set
up on the day when Mr. Marcy's letter was inserted.
We had made a proposition to the editor's of the
Gazette, as we have often done with others, and as
inn very common custom among editors, which, had
it beeneornplied with, would have led to the ap
pearance of both letters in the Post. There was
nothing in the nature of our communication with
them on the subject, which savored of privney br
secretly; and we therefore felt no beaitittion in-iiy
ing that they had declined publishing Mr. Marcy's
reply. They, however, seem to be very much out
°flume, because we stated the fact that they had de
dined agreeing to our proposition.
There are at least two reasons why they have been
so much affected by our statement: we can readily
recognise one ofithese as the true reason. One of
these is, that they are ashamed of the want of mag
nanimity which their course has displayed; and the
other that they are ignorant of the very common
usage.among editors in relation to matters of this
kind. We know that editors of opposite parties of
ten enter into a similar arrangement with each oth
er. We are aware, however, of the fact that such a
thing cannot be expected where there is but a limit
ed degrt e of magnanimity. If the editors of the
Gazette have been actuated by considerations of this
kind, we were mistaken: and, whatever may have
been the ground of their action, we are blameless of
any wrong either actual or implied. Similar props
titions have often been made to us, in the course of
our connexion with the Press; and we have never be
fore heard it referred to as a breach of confidence,
if either party chose to decline entering into such an
engagement; but there is a more weighty reason for
those gentlemen having declined to publish Mr.
Marcy's letter. They think that Gen. Scott tnny
come before their party as a candidate; and they fear I
the effect which the publication of that most severe'
and withering reply to his letter must have, if read
by those wile have read it. The letter of Mr. Mar
cy may be published without doing any injustice to
Gen. Scott; because it Curly and fully states every
point embraced in his letter. The Federal papers
dare not publish the reply.

er, that from the window of his bed-room the Em
peror saw the whole affair. In the assembly of the
Lords, on the following day, when Engirvard and his
daughter were present, he asked what ought to be
done to a man who compelled a King's daughter to
carry him on her shoulders, through frost and snow,
in the middle of a winter', night? Charlemagne.—
They ant veered, that he was worthy of death. The
lovers were alarmed, but the Emperor, aedressing
Engirvard, said, "Iladat thou loved my-daughter,
thou shouldst have come to me; thou art worthy of
death, but I give thee two lives. Take thy fair port
er in marriage, feat God, and love one another."
NEW BoAterzss.—We heard ofsomething in the way
or imports and export, yesterday that we were not
before aware of. During the past two months a firm
here have been shipping by the way of the railroad
all kinds of Vegetables that could be had in market,
to Cleveland and Buffalo. The people in that region
are luxuriating upon asparagus, lettuce, radishes, &c.
which they get some four or six weeks in advance of
the season, and so far the firm have sent from $.500
to $lOOO worth. As soon as fret appears they wilt
do the same thing with that. The matter is recipro
cated at Buffalo, that city being brought so near the
sea board the citizens are enabled to procure all
kinds of salt water fish, as lobsters, oysters, clams,
&c., which they ship to their agents hero in return
fur the articles forwarded to them. A very lucra
tive trade is driving ahead at the present time. A
day or two ago a fine lot of clams were received, an
article rarely seen in this region. In truth we are
getting nearer and nearer the seaboard every day.—

LOCAL MATTERS
•‘ Iluainvos"—A Story of Arthur Brown, Jr.—.
The fate of this remarkable individual is known—
but this has nothing to do with the little incident we
are about to relate, in which he was the principal
actor. Whether the story is true or falte, we know
not ; but we are inclined to believe that - it has at
least a foundation in truth, which is as much as
can be expected of such "yartiergenerally. While
Arthur was travelling over the mountains, in custo
dy of a Pittsburgh officer, he related the story as
follows :
When I left Pittsburgh (my Fifth at. Agency bait
ing proved a failure,) I went to Cincinnati and oper
ated to some extent there, but fear of detection com
pelled MC to leave. The next place in which I
figured deeply, was in Memphis. I 'landed there
pennyless; and friendless, OrCrallfSC. How to make
a raise at first confounded me, but my inventive
genius soon reached a scheme, and to work
,I,weet.
1 stopped at the best hotel in the city—as had been
my custom during my sporting ilays—anffi edi
ately made necessa7 inquiries as to the iptittlilms,
people, &c. I engaged the public rooM of thecity,
and then proceeded to a Printing olfice, and hid
great porters stricken MT, announcing, ( in substance,
that :—Professor Alexis Ilirley had arrived, and
ould give a wonderful lecture in Hall, on
---- evening, Sc., with ionic of the most extra•
ordinary experiments. Among other things be would I
make a ring in the centre of the room, into which
he would throw an apple seed, wlech 'could sprout,
grew to the height of the ceiling, bear leaves and
fruit, and all during the delivery of the lecture.
The evening came. I stood at the door and re
ce veal the money-50 cents from each. The rooni
was quickly.filled, and so were my pockets. The

head I heard an old fellow remark:—'t I wonder if
this is a humbug?" Thus frightened me, and I Start
ed. I found it would not do to go up or down the
river—for fear of detection; so I "leaned" back
into the interior. I ran eight miles without stop
ping to take breath ! Here again I became alarmed.
The thought that I nvglit be taken for a, negro thief
suggested itself, and I had often heard of the fate
of such thieves. Not feeling prepared to be shot
without trial, I turned round and walked back into
Memphis. I leached the city about midnight. I
stopped at the door of one of the lintels and endeav
ored to gain entrance, but tailed. In a moment I
heard the puffing of a steamboat descending the riv
er ; next the bell was rung. This was music to my
ears; I considered. myself safe at last with the mo
ney I won from the people of Memphis. The boat
landed and on board I slipped. Alter adjusting my
cravat, washing my face, &c. I espied two gentle
men in the cabin who had esidently just arrived.
They approached me enquiringly, and one of them
asked : "Is your name Professor Ilurly " No,
sir,s' said I, promptly. " Well, we think you are,
and will take you any bow." And they did. I was
put into the watch house till morning ; e then exam
ined before the Mayor, and committed to jail to
stand a trial. I was manacled to a filthy old negro,
who had been imprisoned for murder, and in this
condition did I exist for three weeks. The Court
met, and I was brought to the bar. There was great
excitement in the
. city ; the court room was filled to
overflowing, Ofcourse I expected to receive justice.
But judge my surprise when the prosecution failed
to find a single roan that bad been humbugged—
II(111C of the Memphis peopizAad attended my ex
perimental lecture, and I was discharged."
This is Arthur's story. We are forcibly reminded
of the Trouberg Geese Flying affair that occurred in
this city .a. few years ago—thousands were there,
but they were not to be found the next day. Who
ever heard of a man who would willingly confess
himself to be the victim ofa humbug 1
yrriotosr CONFERENCE.—Many petitions and
resolutions were offered and referred. Some 'of
them were quite interesting. Severe' were in rela
tion to Sunday Schools, Missionary Societies, and
the Book Concern.
A petition was offered and referred, praying for
an extension of the probation to conference mem
bership to four years.
A resolution was offered declaring the expedien
cy of revising some portions of the Discipline. Sev
eral amendments and substitutes were offered, and
a very animated discussion followed. The whole
matter was referred.
A resolution was offered instructing the commit
tee on boundaries, to report on the expediency of
extending the Church over the territories of Califor
nia and New Mexico. This proposition caused some
excitement, ansl created a smile upon many mem
bers. But the mover in a short speech excited more
respect for his motion, and several members follow.
ed in advocacy of the scheme of establishing a con
ference upon the Pacific coast. The motion was
seriously entertained and was referred to the com•
mittee on Missions,
A resol
, lution providing for the abolition of the
ceremony of ordaining local preachers was offered
and rcrerred.
The case of the Rev. Green, of the New York
Conference, was next called up. The committee
to which this matter was referred reporteda point
of law with a view to the adjustment of the case:
That when 'a preacher withdraws formally from a
Church, there is no power to hold him, and he can
no longer be considered a member. A question
was here started as to whether the charges that
might justly be preferred against a preacher would
fall on his withdrawal. A member of the commit
tee suggested that it was best to get rid of a'bad man
in the quickest and- cheapest way, and he argued
that he should not be tried after once leaving the
Church. The discussion occupied some time.

5000 troops of the Line, marched ardent! the Bottle j
yards, with flying colors,-attended by a band 'in
which were fifty drums. The procession took eight
hours in passing a given Point. i -
The greatest enthusiasm pres'ailed, and the ;most'
friendly disposition was manifested towards the
troops, the National Guards. The Provincial Gov
ernment, especially the moderate part of it, Will- be
strengthened immensely by, the demenstratiOn. A
scheme having become known, by which the. Prince

whole Oaleans dynasty.' Lartiartine has proposed no
alliance, offensiVe and defensive,betWeen the French
and Swiss Republics. On Sunday, the 10th, Paris
was the scene of the most extraordinary commotion.
The people engaged in the Pubileation, by the au
thority of the Provisional GOventment, of some pa
pers found at GuizoPs, iinpeachinghia political char
acter, declared them to be forgeries, and denounced
Lamartine, Marrast, and the other moderate mem
bers of the Government; swearing to overthrow it
and to establish a new one, from which should be
excluded all but the extreme radical members. Le
dru Rollin, possessing immense influence with'the
Communists, was able to summon an immense con
course at Champ de Mars, where he harangued them
in the most inflammatory manner, and the Govern
ment was compelled to call on the National Guards,
Mobiles, with two Regiment! of the'Line,' nearly
20,000 men, with cannon, were planted at the Hotel
de Ville, and a bloodless restoration of Order wan
effected. For a brief space, it seemed as if the old
reign -of terror was to he revived. The moderate
members of the Government didnot make the mistake
of the Giroudists of '92, bittaived the capital by a
bold resort to their military resources: , .• , .
Blanquy and Cabil, the latter "a 'member of the
Provisional Government s are said to have been ar
rested. Arrests of p rominent communists have been
made. The communists wore the red rosette of
the Monta guards; and the moderate party the tri
color of Giroudists. Partiesin Paris seem to be di
vided as in the first revolution, but while the coni•
munists are probably leas sanguinary than the old'
territerists, the moderate party are more firm, more
energetic and stronger than the, Girendists of 1789
asd '92. Matters in Paris have reached a critical
point; one of those crisises when the fate of a na
