NEWA FROM MEXICO
The New Orleans Picayune of the tad
:Acknowledges the receipt of papers from
the city of Mexico to the 14th of July,
three days later than before received.—
Those were brought by the 'Learner New
Orleans.
The Supreme Court of Mexico has pro
nounced, its decision on the question of the
late Treaty with the United Slates, decla
ring that it was not necessary that it should
be submitted to the Legislatures of the dif
ferent States for their approval.
i As rog,trils the recent movements of the
antagonist forces in the vicinity of Guan
ajuato the Picayune has the following :
••We are still left in much uncertainty
as to the result of the actions between Ps-
REIMS and Ilriersmeyrc. The papers in
the interest of each, claim the victory for
their side. In the :Monitor Republican°
of the 14th there is a kind of diary of each
day's events, front which it appears that
on the 7th every thing was quiet. On the
Bth Bustamente attempted to carry by as
sault the fort of El Tajo, but was repulsed
after desperate fighting. Some deserters
went over this day to Paredes. On the 9th
some troops of the third regiment of Al
lende went over to Paredes. There was
little lighting this day. On the 10th tran
quility reigned, but there is a report that
this day Bustamente retired from Martel.
but the Government newspapers refused to
believe it. Even front this enumeration.
we think it manifest that Parodies had the
best of it down to the 10th. We have a
letter frein a very letelliginiTartittleit'in

troops had deserted. Bustamente confes
ses, in despach dated oth inst., that the di

that many of his troops dispersed, but he

A SLAVX RHSCUSD.—The New York
Tribune contains an interesting account of
John Lytle, a colored man, born in Phila.
delphia,.who has just arri ved from Hava
na, where he has been unlawfully held as
a slave for eleven years. He was ship
wrecked on the coast of. Africa, and made
his way to a slave factory. Thence he
took passage in a slave vesselkW t uba,
and was treacherously sold as a slave.—
He contrived to make his case known to
an American gentleman who was travel
ling on the island, and stopped at the plan
tation where he worked. This gentleman
laid his case before the Secretary of State,
who promptly instructed the American
Consul, Gen. Campbell, formerly member
of Congress from South Carolina, to de
mand the liberation of the American citi
zen thus unjustly held. Great caution
ans neeesearY In_eriler to identify. the cap,
tire before suspicion was entertained of the
object. Both the Secretary of State and
the Consul appose to have acted in the
most prudent and 'creditable manner, and
the result of their exertions has been the
liberation of Lytle, and the payment to him
of MCI 311, ilia earnings for. the eleven
years of hie servitude.
Tax Eutcriou of the Archduke John,
of Austria, as Chief of the German Empire,
will place the EMperors, Kings and Prin
ces of the German States at a discount.—
They will nide their present tides, and
supervise the Government of their States,
bearing a relation to the Chief, not
dissimilar to that of our Governors to
wards the Presiderii. The King of Hano
ver, it is rumored, will resign rather than
submit to this new Chieftancy of the Ger
manic Union, by which sict, if it were im
itated by all his compeers, Germany would
rather gain than lose. The Archduke is
88 years of age, and has a high reputation
for profound knowledge and ability, civil
and military. In 1800 he commanded
the Austrian army at tbe battle of Hohen
linden. He was the founder in 1805 of
the famous Landwehr, or militia of Aus
tria. For thirty years he was a determin
ed opposer of the Metternich policy, and
on account of his enmity lo_rhat Prince,
was exiled from Vienna. The exiled
John is now Reifent of Austria, and Chief
of the German Empire, while Metternich
is an exile.
buoi4ll4ovEwENTs to AlmucAe—The
New York correspondent of the Philadel

been tendered so liberally to the Irish .col
leeting committees in that city, that the
sum of fifty thousand dollars will go by
the next steamship, which will sail from
there on Wednesday next.
DEAD SEA kiPEDITION7--The U. S.
Exploring party has returned to Jerusalem
from its expedition to the Dead Sea.—
This was the first occasion- on which a
boat ever navigated around the sea, and
many of the stories once current have been
proved to be fabulous. The explorers
sounded the sea in all its parts, to the depth
of 800 feet, and found the bottom crust
ed with crystalized salt. The pestilen
tial effects attributed to the waters tura
out to be fabulous. Ducks were seen
skimming over the surface, and partridges
abounded along the shore. Nothing was
seen of the ruined cities, which. according
to old legends, were visible in clear weath
er beneath the water. It should be a
source of-great satisfaction to every Amer
ican, that his country, although the most
remote, was the first to explore this cele
brated sea.
,
A WUALE STORY..--A correspondent of
the Cincinnati Dispatch, writing from Ten
ses, La., tells a story of a negro child 8
months old being swallowed by a huge al
ligator, remaining two hours in the beast's
stomach, and then being restored to the
arms of its frantic mother, having suffered
as little by the operation as Jonah is said
to have done by a very similaradventure.
A colored friend of ours tells of
'An alligator on the strand
That wouldn't let the steamboat land !
We presume this is the same old alligator.
The name of ZACHARY TAYLOR is an

The Meeting ut Petersburg.
By refinance to the call of the Whigs at York

General Zachary Theoe—Dear Sir :
At a Convention ofthe Whip of the Uni
ted Stated; held in this city on the 7th inst.,
and continued from day to day until the
9th, you were nominated as a candidate
for the Presidency of the United States, at
therssidesitial election.
Wy a resolution of said Convention, it
wit made the duty or their President to
communicate to you the result of their de
liberations, and to request your acceptance
of the nomination.
In obedience to• said resolve, I, as the
organ therein designated, have the honor
to make to you the foregoing communica
tion, and ask your acceptance of the nomi
nation.
Permit me, dear sir, to indulge the hope
that he who never shrinks from any res
ponsibility, nor fails to discharge any du
ty assigned him by his Government will
not now refuse the enthusiastic call of his
I am, dear sir, with sentiments or very
high regard. your moat obedient aerv't,
J. M. Mount:AD,
President of the Whig National Convention.
Sir : I have had the honor to receive
your communication of June 10th, announ
cing that the Whig Convention, which
assembled at Philadelphia on the 7th of
that month, and of which you were the
presiding officer, has nominated me for the
office of President of the United States.
Looking to the composition ofthe Con
vention, and its numerous and patriotic con
stituency, I feel deeply grateful for the hon
or bestowed upon me, and for the distin
guished confidence implied in my nomina
tion by it, to the highest office iu the gill
of the AmeriCan people.
I cordially accept that nomination, but
with a sincere distrust of my fitness to ful
fil the duties of an office, which demands
for its exercise the most exalted abilities
and patriotism, and which has been ren
dered illustrious.by the greatest names in
our history. But should the selection of
the Whig Convention be confirmed by the
people, I shall endeavor to discharge the
new duties then devolving upon me, so as
to meet the just expectations of my fellow
citizens, and preserve undiminished the
prosperity and reputation of our common
country.

Matamoras, July 21,1848.
Dear Sir :—By yesterday's mail I re
ceived your letter of, the 17th June, and
have given the subject to which you refer
much serious reflection and consideration.
I feel very grateful to you, sir, and to my
fellow-citizens who with you have expres
sed the very flattering desire to place my
name in nomination for the Presiden
cy, but it becomes me sincerely and frank
ly to acknowledge to you that for that of
fice I have no aspirations whatever. Al
though no politician, having held myself
aloof from the clamors of party politics,
lam a Whig. and shall ever pe devoted
in individual opinion to the . principles of
that party.
Even if the subject which you have in
your letter opened to me were acceptable
at any time to me, I have not the leisure
to attend to it now ; the vigorous prosecu
tion of the War with Mexico, so impor
tant to the interests of the Country, de
mands every moment of my present time,
and it is my great object to bring U to a
speedy and honorable termination.
With my best wishes for your health
and prosperity, I am, most sincerely,
yours.

of possible consequences more appalling
than the loss of all of these, which have
been already sufficiently compromised by
the wilful and wanton National war, just
brought to a close, with results any thing
but auspicious to the public weal.
Without further preface, we place before
our readers, in the precise language of our
authority, information upon which we
place entire reliance :
"The arrangements are nearly comple

GEN. TAYLOR'S ACCEPTANCE.
The long wished-for letter olden. Tay
lor, delayed so long by -an unbolted-fir
accident, which we publish to-day, ex
pressing his cordial acceptance of the
nomination for the Presidency conferred
upon him by the Philadelphia Whig Na
tional Convention, cannot but give plea
sure to every member of the Whig party
as well as to every patriotic citizen of what
ever political inclining, who anticipates
in Gen. Taylor's election, along with the
restoration to the Government at Wash
ington of the ancient constitutional policy
and executive purity of the first Presidents.
the safety, the happiness and the honor of
the republic.•
The letter breathes, throughout, the mo
dest, yet honest and self-Mesettsed spirit
which has gained for Taylor so much of
that public confidence which he enjoys.
He accepts the honor bestowed upon him
with, he says, "a sincere distrust of his fit
ness to fulfil the duties of an office which
demands the most exalted abilities and pa
triotism ;" but lie feels no diffidence or
hesitation in promising. if elected, a pa.
tient endeavor "to perform the new duties
devolving upon him so as to meet the ex
pectations of his fellow citizens, and pre
serve undiminished the prosperity and re
putation of our common century." It ie
the same spirit, calmly resolute and sel f-s us
taudig. though unhoastful,• which prompt
ed the memorable answer of the heroic
Miller,—.l will try, sir"—when ordered
to capture the British Battery at Lundy's
Lane., Taylor will "endeavor," and he
also will be successful. This is the Spirit
and these are the kind of sentiments which
the American people are most anxious to
have re-established in the President's chair
at Washington. No more of the arrogant,
dictator-like confidence of a Veto-Presi-
dent,—a democrat-monarch of four years--
a king of a party, who resolves beforehand,
according to platform, what he will do u
President, and bow be will do it, daring
his brief reign, all regardless and in des
pite of the free people whom he expects
to rule, not serve—to govern and oppress,
and outrage, and trample, as he chooses, or
as he elects to fancy his party chooses, in
stead of simply, modestly, democratically
& constitutionally executing the laws which
it is the people's province, through their
Representatives in Congress, to enact, and
his only to carry into operation.
The long delay of General Taylor's ac
ceptance, induced by causes only lately,
but now perfectly well, understood by the
people, has caused a lull in the political
gale, which, it cannot be doubted, will now
very soon begin to swell into a tempest.
The character and tone of the letter will
have their efectiin 'warming the right feel
ing, and is right quarters, towards the
brave old republican,—so modest, yet so
firth, so honest and truthful, and patriotic
in all things-06in whom the people of the
Union now behold the sole competitor and
alternative of Gen. Lewis Cue for the
Presidency. One or the, other. must be
elected Cbierhtigistritte of the Republie.

teruted citizen—can hesitate a moment

THE COST OF (war.—The whole
number of Americans that were killed in
the recent war, including the line of the
Rio (Mande and that of Vera Cruz, is es
timated at 2000, and the wounded at 4000.
It is impossible to say how many of the
latter have died in consequence of their
wounds, but we should suppose not less
thee Gee-fourth, say 1000, making in all
three thousand deaths from battle. This,
however, bears but a small proportion to
the atimbe'r who have sunk under disease.

'GREAT BUSTIFICATION OF

tent for an '
Improved Machine for Balling and Clean
ing Clover-seed,
which, for thoroughly performing its work,
in a speedy manner, surpasses any thing
that has ever been presented to the public.
In order to produce a machine that will
meet the wants of the community in every
respect, the Patentee has for several years
applied himself diligently to the task, and
is now enabled to offer a machine worthy
of their consideration.
This machine has only been in opera- I
tion during the last season, in Cumberland.
York and Adams counties, and has given
entire satisfaction. It is a neat, portable
machine, only weighing about 400 lbs.
and °flight draught, and can hull and clean
with ease four loads of cloverseed per day,
or one load in two hours. It can be con
yelled into a common windmill in a me

rights can see the machine by call

Adams county. Owners of Clover-mills
would find it to their advantage to give me
