The Constitution requires that bolls houses, shall ballot, first separately and then jointly for can didates., and in Cage the mpper house, which has, for the last time a loco majority, should coincide with thij infamous suggestion thestate will have but one Senator.

The discov has been made by Professor Besseil of Conigsb , who has ascertain ed the annual parallax-of N. 61 in Cygnur,„ this being effected, the distance of stars from the earth can be calculated. Th i:e tlax being the greatest angle subtended by • ' conceived to be drawn from the star to a base which is the semi-diameter of the•earth's orbit, the distance of a-star can now, be foundas easily as that of the stn. To show the extreme degree of nicety to which truruments have been brought for astronomical purposes, the parallax had heretofore been ascertained to be 'less than one second- On the supposition that the angle was but one second,the distance of a star would be 206,265 times the distance of the sun from the earth. This is so immense.a space, that light, moping at the velo city of 192,000 miles every . second of time, would require more-than three yeais to come from the•titar to the earth ! Inconceivable as this is, the distance of the nearest fixed star, must be still greater. Into what a profundity of research does the glorious science of astronomy lead, and how boundless must be that power, which can hold the univer,se in har monious motion. , Frante and M,rico. —We have of late years has our sympathies enlisted so much in favor of Texas, and our antipathies in proportion against Mexico, that we are hardly e iepared to commiserate the let , ter even when she assumes the attitude of the injur ed party. That such is now her evident position we think will appear on-the very -cursory examina tion, which we are able to devote to the subject, but which we think its interest demands from us. When Mexico freed herselffrom the Spanish yoke, the 'United States and Great Britain were the first to recognize her independence, and enter into trea ties by which reciprocal protection was granted to -commerce, and the rights of citizens, upon their re spective soils. France never promulgated any trea ty, nor did she even recognise her as an independent nation, until Louis PhiUippe was calledtdthe throne: At that period there was a spirit' of liberal feeling among the French nation, emanating froM the smouldering rrcolleotions of • the imperial glory, which actuated this step. The mere recognition however, without necessary treaties does not guar antee immunities or priviledges.to citizens of the sov reignty so recognized, but they must content them selves, should they leave the protection of -their own laws, with such Its may be afforded them under the country of their residence. During"the many intestine disturbances which have recently agitated Mexico.; it is not surprising that resident Frenchmen, should have suffered los 'sea ; hut it is really surprising, that in the face of na tions, France should demand reparation for such los ses, arid still mop so, that she should demand de grading concessions, because her subjects havipg been taken as pirates, have suffered their •merited doom as such ! The attempt of General Mejia, , a Mexican Exile, on Tampico, is fresh in the memory of all. Driven from his own country for an attemputo subvert the regular authorities, already reeling from the eiteets of the Texian war, he cosregated screw in New Orleans composed of aboA two hundred renegades from all.eonntries--men of desperate characters, and broken 9 . srtunes, and with them, he. sailed on his en terprise to plunder the city;:of Tampico. Its, result is wellsremembered; of the whole bond only three or four escapetlonneng whom was Mejia himself; the rest were shot after a regular trial and condemnation! Shortly after this circumstance,-Baton Daffendas, arrived in Mexico from France as Minister Plenipo tentiary, and demanded restitution for property lost and confiscated by his Jountrymen, and likewise made it an ultimatum, that the Judge who condemn ed Mejia's gang of pirates should be degraded from office ! Receiving rib attention to such glemands, not only preposterons„but blustering and cowanhy in the representative of a powerful nation towards a new and barely organized govenintent, he threw. himself on board a French frigate, and threatened, if his proposals were not Rev:dewed in, to visit with summary ptinisiment the contumely. The Mexic‘an government, either unable or unwilling, resisted these terms, and the consequence has been, a gener al blockade, and the capture of, Vera Cruz, as stated in our last JournaL These arb the facts, and the principles of inter , national law, involved in this quarrel, in which France has-behaved with manifest disregard to justice, and that digni y which should characterize every pro ceading of one of earth's greatest nations.'

Coal -Supply.—A crinespondent in last_ Thurs day's U. S. Gazette, under the signature •of "Phila delphia," has not read our articles on this subject with proper attention, or we have been unfortunate in not making ourselves understood. The cause of the deficiency of 1838 was the suridue of 1837; the dealers were over cautious in theirliurchases for fear of a similar result, without looking into the tempo rary causer', 'which produced - IL We do not antici pate a deficiency this spring, as the 200,000 tons laying unconsumed at the opening of the last season, answers every purpose of an increased shipment., -"Philadelphia" next calls us "lazy and indolent;" he never could have visited our hive-like place, or have seen the mining operations of our region. We were not only ready, but anxious-to send more •coal down, but we are not willing to - sell below goat, if we can help it, or to be continually beving persons to behome purchasers : more coed could undoubtedly have been shipped lastsion, but.for this one rea son, there were no purehgre Is.. One word more to the correspondent : he must be • aware of the difference betiveen invested and work ing capital in our•business; of the 73 milliorts estima ted'as the capital employed in the region, not one four teenth was set crown as working 'Capital, The want , of this has ever been a drawbick to our miners; not half the working capital actually •employed' is ob. tamed here,'"but is found abroad. Our mining capi , tal is too small, as• the "idle - and indolent' inhabi tants of the Schuylkill Coal Region have - found to their cost during the past sea4on.• In conclusion, we can only say, give us pitrchasers, and we will give you coal—give us liberal orders and liberal .prices, which will answer the purposes of a working capital, end we will send you a full supply of our staple, and there 'shall he no cause of complaint from any quarter, if • the Navigation Company will lend their assistance in facilitating the trade of the region by increasing the supply of water, and aid in provid ing a remedy for the numerqns frauds rimy practised on the line of the eAntil, which has added at least 50 cents, to the toll and freight on every, ton of Coal shipped for the last 'two ) cars. '• . We agice iasubstancewith the writer of the following communication, nothwithstanding the "levity - with which we treated the correspondent of the U. S. Gazette ; that however was instigated, rather by his direct applicataim w U.A. in preference to the Navigation Company, than any doubt as to the well founded ground of complaint. We do not think the loss to the company by the want of waver Mast season, as great as "Boatmen" imagines. The depression in the coal business was such, tilt* a much greater quantity would not have 'beep .shipped even had the navigation continued uninterrupted, although the edicr trade of the canal doubtless. suffered' most materially ! The drought of the last season was Vmost.unpeilerited, and can hardly be expected to occur again. This. however does riot diminish the necessity of Koran; against its recurrence;lor in a future year, the loss to colliers will be very great, should any similiar disaster put a check on their ixtended operatioim.. Deets, horses and other appurtenances, are to be ,supported at a ride of from 40 to $5O a day, and an interrupted navigation would prove ruinous. Every year the invesuid capital must be greater, end the expense of driving engines below the water level must be carried on whether an outlet. is offered to the produce or not. These considerations should. inilece the Navigation Coinpany to use every exertion to supply the canal with such a number of efficient dams, as will supply water during a long continued drought.
