- aoiiri, .and the apprehensions that they
'were-raise] for the purpose of plundering
=the Santa Fe trad:rs as well as the order
-of our 3overnrneot sending out troops for
the protection of the trader, says:—
'The very fact that more than two hurts
Ater] men engaged in this expedition is ev.
idence that it is not intended merely to
rob the Santa Fe trades, for fifty men
would be sufficient for that purpose. We
have little doubt that this force is intended
to take possession cf Santa Fe. Gen
Houston, about ten months ago, when he
issued his proclamations announcing his in
tention to invade Mexico, granted a com
mission to Cul Warfield, of Missouri, and
authorized him to collect a band of voluns
teers among the Rocky Mountain hunters
and back ivoodimen of the ft ontiers of
Texas and Missouri, for the purpose of
overturning the authority of the Central
ists in Santa Fe. The recent intelligence
from the western borders o f Missouri ins
duces us to believe that the armed force on
the borders of Missomi has been collect
ed by Col Warfield.or his friends; and, in--
stead of being a band of robbers, is merely
a band of 'Ft X(111 emigrants, who are au.
thorized by the Texan Government to set
tle in Santa Fe. And as they are proba
bly ere this bevond the territory of the U.
nited States, and within the limits of Tex
as, troops of the United States, wi 1 be un
able to molest them without trespassing
upon our own territor y.' ,
The Houstonian, of the sth inst., con
tains a message from Gen. I [eosin!' to the
Senate under date of the 14th 1.).-ternher,
whichtias never yet been published, and
throwing as fit does some light on the
treachery of the Preside:it, we subjoin cer
tain portions of the ines.:age, which fol..
ly bear out our previous assertion, that
Texas has no greater enemy thla Presi
dent Houstoa. The document breathes a
spirit of hatred against die navy and jeal -
ousy of Com. Moore.
"In the face of these ci co:nit:ow .s, for

hellions portion of Mexico, %573',1 well cal.

The Executive of Texas has not, not
had he ever any rig it under the colstitu—
lion to form treaties of alliance with any
other evernment, or to attempt to carry
r•tharn into execution with nit the unction
•of the Senate. In the case of Yucatan,
that body had given -no expression in rela
tion to such an alliance. Oar navy was
hundreds ofmiles detached from the pro•
tection of our coast, suhsidized to a revo
lutionary portion of Mexico, and placed at
their disposition, and after having been
thus employed for months, returned desti
tate to our shores, not hating been paid
tins amount contracted for, and without ad
ding renown to our navy, or reaping glory
or advantage for the country. Sance that
time all ths means and efforts of this gov
ernment have not been able to get the navy
again to sea.
The whole transactton was' not of this
• government, it was that of the individual
ptieed at its head, withoat having authori.
tv either under the constitution or law;
and whatever is done, withint authority, is
°feint! se violatiire of that law from which
the authority is assumed to ho derived.
The Executive regtrds any aid renticr
aid to Yucatan as ultimately servicable to
'Mexico; assured as he is, that though the
flickerings of a revolutionary spirit ten•
doted to the malcontents a momentary
gleam of live, eventually they will be re
united to Mexico. and he vt ill not be sun.

Mrs Wood, .alias Lady Ililliain Len,
.rtox.—The Ittirk Courant of a late date
_contains the following:—
A paragraph is at present going the
rounds of the London and provincial pa
pers, stating that Mrs \Vood has returned
to her liusiiand's residence at Woollevs
tnaur. Titis wr are enabled and author
ized to bay is not corri'ci. Mrs \Vooi has
!eft the convent near M icklecrate -bar, in
this city; but instead of returning to her
husband, she has retired to a small seclu
ded cottage near Barrisloy, where she in.
tends to pass the remainder of her life free
from the cares and anxieties of tilt 4 w rld.' ,
iu order that she may have more leisure to
devottiherself to the duties of religion.
We are a'so informed, on. tip: , best pos.'
aiVe authority. that since rs Wood's con.
version to the Roman Catholic tenents she
has not. acknowledged, and can not recog.
nise or consider, Mr Wry.d as her husband,
the church to which she has allied herself
not allowing of any divorce; and therefore,
that abe at the present moment considers
herself in strict egrity as Lady William
Lennox; and under these circumstances,
Is we have just stated, she nevbr can-again
..ssociele with Mr Wood. She would not
Have left our convent, but trite could not be
allowed to join the sisterhood so long as
her husband survives. What she may do
in the event of Lord Lennox's
death of course we are not in a position to
say.'
With reference to the above, the follow
lag letter appears in the Wakefield Jour.

'Sir,—ln answer to a paragraph in the
York Courant of this day, I beg to state .

ice First Fate.
The County Committee.
The Democratic Cemmittee of Correa•
pondence met yesterday, pursuant to no
tice, at Mr. Little's Tavern, to determine
t h e tins, whel,the Convention to nominate
candidates shall be held. It will he seen,
by the proceedings, that the last Wednes
day in August has been fixed upon as the
day fin• selecting a lieket, The meeting
was !art; ta el fell oF a❑im Ilion: We think
the lime resolved upon the best that could
have been chosen. The farmers, before
then, win have finished their harvest, and
will have a p.,..ri id of comparative leisure,
in which they mry consider the claims of
th,-, 3e who desire nominations, and choose
their delegates to the Convention.
It is the custom, we are aware, to rep
resent each election as it approaches, as
more important than any that had ever
been held, or would ever take place. But
the fear of being charged with employing
a hackneyed idea,shall not prevent us from
expiessing an opinion that the present pe
riod is one of unusual interest to the
Democracy of Allegheny, in which they
are required to exercise the utmost caution
and circumspection in making their nom
inations. With the next Congress the
Democratic patty will,without douht,again
enter ( upon a career of triumph, which
will end in their obtaining entire control
lof the nation•,) government; and it is much
to be desired that in suclea state of things
Allegheny S hould be represented by a
man whose political p >siLion would give
him influence with the majmity in Con
gresa, and with the administration. To
secure this groat of jest, too much care
can not be token in choosing a candidate.
There is every indication too, that the dem•
ocratic nominations for county officers will
be successful, if made with due regard to
the wishes and preferences of the party.
To ascertain these and to nominate under
standing'y, some time is required, and we
think the Commtttee have given sufficient,
and not too much.
The Gazette and its cliqne find it rather
difficult to get u . p a crusade against the
Catholics. The Deacon's desire for a
"bull fight" is received very coldly by the
pablic, and the general opinion appears' to
be tile' the conductor of a purely political
journal is not calbd upon, in the
discharge of his duty, to attem pt to
destroy the peace and harmony of soc iety
by exciting ill feelings against any portion
of the community on account of their reli—
gious opinions. The Deacon and his cot.
respnwlents are right, when th'y conclude
that we cannot be forced into a controversy
on religious matters, and although they ap.
pear to think it a crime to entertain a feel
toleration, that would respect the
reOgiona Tights Of every citizen, we are
perfectly satisfied that they shall make
such a charge against us as often as their
malignant feelin2s may move them.
At a recent dinner given to the Legion
of Honor, in New Orleans, General Davis
gave the following toast:. "Natchez and
New Orleans---daughters of the great Fa
ther of Waters. May the current of their
affections continue as strong, .deep and
lastint , as that of their old father. This
jumble of the real and the metaphorical,
remi ids us of the eulogy of Sir Robert
Boyle, in the peroration of which the or
ator declared, that Sir Raliert was the fa•
ther of Chemistry, and brothel' to the Earl
of yt, rk.
The politicil conditHn of the British
North &mei ican colonie3 is any thing but
satisfactory:
"New Brunswick has a representative
majority disagreeing with the Executive.
Nova Scotia has a divided cabinet and
uncertain support in the assembly. Prince
Edward's Islatl is compkining ofabsen
tee landholder s; Cape Breton is fur diss
solving the Union with Nova Scotia; and
Newfoundland is agitated by violent pars
ties connected with a religious differs
ences."
Perfection.—Aim tit perfection, save
lord Chesterfield, in every thing—though
in most things it is unattainable, however
they that aim at it, and persevere, will
come much nearer to it than those whose
laziness and despondency make themgive
it up as unattainable:"

Thu following interesting information is CO! .
tatned in aletter from the Cincinnati correspond
eat of the Washington Patriot;
"Mons. Ellet, the distinguished engineer o 1 the
proposed canal across the Isthmus of Dariert,con -
fleeting the Atlantic with the Pacific ocean,is now
in this city, where he has for sometime been con
fined by severe illness. Mona. E. informs me that
he has agreed to complete tile canal within five
years after reaching the ground; to do this in the
time proposed by him, the labor of tour or five
thousand men will be necessary, not one of whom
is to be an American; all are _to Le brought from
Germany and Ireland, the Amert:ans being re
garded as too independent to submit to the French
and English manner of ruling the common labor
rer. The extensive London house of Baring at
Brothers are represented to be the heaviest stock
holders in this scheme—a scheme long kept secret
until these gentlemen agreed to furnish the funds
fir making the great MeAdamisel road running
f.om the city of Panama to the bay ofChorera,ne•
cording to the company's co, tract with the Re.
publics of New Grenada. Thin road is about 50
miles in length,passing through a fine coal region,
was commenced in 1857, and finished five months
since. The canal from bank to bank will be 128
feet; at the bottom 67 feet in width—the whole
length wi'l be 48. miles, and it will have 4 loc'ts.
New Grenada has given to the company 86,000
acres of !and along the canal's line—in addition to
which 400,000 acres more can be taken by them
from any other part of the country, unless previ
ously appropriated by government; however, the
present settlers along the canal are to be paid at
the rate of ono dollar per fattegude (a little over an
acre) fur tie land they may own, and the compa
ny happens to pitch upon.
