PITTSBURGH, TUESDAY, DECEMBER
TILE NEW ADMINISTRATION.—The Gazethis not
pleased because we Lave taken some pains to slln'‘r
the moderate and reasonable portion of the whign,tha!
&eolith Shadow of fotindation for the fear. expres
..a by 'the more rabid of that party, that rdte sucsess
Putt will have. a disastrous effect on the busi•
NOSS of the country. AVe are -not witprised that the
Otizette should object to any aorta that may be made
to 1;3400 universal confidence among the people, and
toloduce 'all to labor and to hope for the beat. The
reckless politicians who Control that sheet, knowing'
front tite . whole experience of their party.and especial
ly from the' result of , the election 1340, that they
sactieed bet in periods of public distress, would
ratherreanviice the people that they are suffering and
will continue to suffer, than speak to them the wel ds
of hope andSencouragement. Therefore it is that the
'Gazette folks crabbedly refuse to be comforted or con
ciliated, and pompoUsly boasting like so many BORA
aims, declare they will "Fight on, Fight ever." The
Gazette may continue the warfare, fur it is so "nomi
nated in the bond;" but we do not believe that pru
dent and sensible men, who only supported CLAY in
the honest belief that their interests would thereby be
promoted, will feel it necessary to fight againat the
administration when they are convinced that it is not
hostile to them. We confidently refer all who honest
ly desire to ascertain what Col Pot.x's course will be
in the administration, to the history of his public life
es a member of Congress—to his admirable le'ter to
J. K. KANE, and to his liberal and tolerant remarks
at Nashville, since bin election. With all these every
sight minded whig must be satisfied.
• nrOn Saturday the Natives concluded their long
sind arduous struggle to get a candidate for the May
erality, by the nomination ofl& i'Vx Rut SMART. A
gainst Mr RinebarescompateneY, we have not a word
to say. From our own knowledge of him, we believe
be would make an energetic and honest officer, and
Would discharge the duties of. the office with as much
upartiality as any other man could do who possesses
as strong prejudices as those entertained by Mr R.—
There are but few whigs in 1124 '_ire, who are more
?Uhl in their principles than Mr R. and as it is limn
that party only, that 'wenn expect votes we fear that
Ins will "fizzle out at the small end of thehorn!' at the
comingclection. As the Whig candidate, he aright
Iggehe a respectable. vote, but from the eupport of
the party ieto whose hands he bas fallen, he can 'expect
nothing but a disgraceful r;efeat. There are many
tither men in the native faction we would rather see
4141 . 08 this than Wit RISENAD.T.
A New POLICT.—The Gazette of yesterday an
nounces, that hereafter the whtg party must wage an
• "honorable warfare" against the democrats. We are
-rejoiced to learn even at this late day, the Whigs have
resolved toattempt a reform, and, if possible, abandon
tire dishonorable policy they have heretofore pursued
in political contests. If they are serious in this prom.
lice of amendment, we will do all in our power to en
courage them in the good resolution, and to show them,
by example, how much better it is to pursue an hono
rable course, than to descend to the base slanders and
unfounded falsehoods which formed the principal
Int:meets found in the columns of the Whig jour
nals during the late contest.
But, we confess that we have seine fears that re
formation cannot reach our cotemporary of the Gazette.
tge are apprehensive that he is incorrigible. But
we yet have hops. If the fifteen whip , will only on
-dertake to persuade him to "promise to .quit," there
•if tvotmd for hope. They know how to reason with
, him; they know the kind ufarguments that are most
••convincing with him, and ho, would listen to thorn
when others who are not so well acquainted with his
:prevailing weakness, would fail to make any impress
-gun. We hope they will make thikrial, and that the
-result of their efforts will prove the truth of the lines,
•that,
" While the lamp bolds nut to burr,
The tritest sinner may return."
'sett Cart AL --We are informed by Mr isnettios •
'Supervisor of Western Division, that the water will be
;drawn off from the Canal to-day, and, of course, earl=
gation will be suspended until next spring.
We-were much gratified to learn front the same
rardetnttn, - that the past has been a most prosperous
neason,and that the business dune on our public works,
bas served -..ct develope their great capacity more fully
sheathe business of any previous year.
As art evidence of the prosperity of the public
Wells, we may state that there is not now one driller
of debt due on the Western Division. 'During -the
past season all the old claims were paid off, and at the
tlosts of . besiness, the last of the debts incurred for
tUe past year, was paid. This prosperous condition
of affairs is =Only owing to the wise provisions made
by the last Legislature and the judicious manner in
whieirthey are carried out by the Canal Board. The
neglect with which the poor domestic creditors were
sweated foryears by the state, was the most crying sin
that could be brought against her. But the provisions
-Made by the last Legislature, have done full justice to
;hie worthy class of our citizens, and will aeon relieve
-Pennsylvania from her financial embarrassments.

The cargo, it was expected, would be recovered, but

Arrest of a Marderer.—Yesterday offreers Carla

of Mr:Joseph Coffee, in Canal street near Elm, he had
been there a few days, when an altercation took place,
between the foreman of the shop, Mr Geerge Coffee

From the Baltimore Sea
FROM MEXICO.
Mr Stignnom and Mr Rejon—Trouble its /Vex.
ico.— We team from the New Orleans Picayune. that
the revenue cutter Woodbury arrived at Galveston on
the I.7th of November, having on limu'd Mr Duff Green,
as bearer of despatches from Mr Shannon to the Uni
ted States charge d'utfairs in Texas ' and Benjamin E.
Gieen, secretary of thelegation in Mexico, as bearer
of despatches to our. government. The latter reached
New Orleans on the Pd instant on his way to IVash
ingt on.
This arrival conveyed to Galvestovjea same news
from Mexico that was received here reelihtly. with the
relddition that Mr Shannon had suspended till official
intercourse with the Mexcan authorities until ho could
receive instructions from his own Governinent. It is
also stated, in a summary of the news prepared by
Mr Green. for die Galveston papers, that the lettews
of Mr Rejtin to Mr Shannon had received the unani
mous approved of the Mexican Congress.
Another piece of news obtained by this arrival is an
additional lotter from Mr Shannon to the Mexican
tnicister of foreign affairs, in reply to the note of the
latter of the 6th of November, which we the other
day briefly noticed. This biter from Mr Shannon is
dated on the Bth of November, and opens with the fol
lowing paragraph:
"The note of his excellency M C. Rejon, Minister,
of the 6th instant, is of such a character as to
leave the undersigned no elternative but to announce
to the Supreme Government of Mexicothat it, together
with the note of Lis excellency of the 31st brine, will
he immediately referred in his Government, for their
further instenctlene, end that, unless they are with
drawn, all further official intercourse between the un
dersigned and the Government of Mexico moat be sus
pended until these instructiorui ere received."
The letter then proceeds wiih a detailed answer to
Mr. ftelcm'e note of the 6th of November, the greater
part of the allegations and charges in which it Limits
as "intentional •misrepresentation, ' "unfounded char
ges, unjust imputations,' &c. The subjoined outline
of its contend, written by Mr. Green, appears in the
Galveston papers:
"Mr Shannon also takes occasion to say that he
knows too well what is due to the character of his own
Government to make any reply to the charges contain
ed in Mr Rejon's note, fur the perpose of vindicating
the people or government of the United States; but
that, inasmuch as the publication of those notes by
the Mexican government, and the comments of the of
ficial newspaper thereon, showed that they were writ
ten and published for the purpose of creating a prejm
dice in the minds of the Mexican peorle against the
United States, and inasmuch as Mr Rejett had assu
med that he did not reply beeause be could not contro
vett the facts on which the false charges and unjust
imputations were based, he would reply, nut for the
purpose of vindicating the government or people of
the U. States, but that the government and people of
Mexico might be disabused, and made rospondble for
tne culumnies contained in Mr Rejton's notes, in case
they adopt and justify the Some.
"Mr. Shannon then proceeds to answer the charges
made by Mr. Rejon ' statingthat the emigrants to Tex
as, who declared thedrindepondence and conquered at
San Jacinto, went under special invitation from the
Government of Spain, of Mexico, and the States of
Coahuila and Texas. and that. the Government and the
people of the United States had no agency whatever in
giving those invitations. He then briefly reviews the
progress of events in Mexico and in Texas. to prove
that the declaration of independence was the cense
r:teepee of the subversion of the Constitution of-18°4,
and of the attempts of Santa Anna to establish a mili
tary despotism on its ruins, vindicating the loner and
diameter of the Government and people of the United
States, and retorts upon Mr. R 4711 and the Govern
ment of Santa Anna the charge of bed faith, nnd
as
serts that Texas never owed allegiance to the Govern
ment of Santa Anna, or the present Government of
Mexico, and that Mexicoand not Texas is the aggres
ser in the war." .
Domestic m•itters look considerably stfnally in Mex
ico,
fur the existing authorities. We make - somt)
de
tached extracts from the Picayone'i summary touch
ing the reported state of things there.
That -the outbreaks which have occurred in differ
ent sates of Mexico, are of the most serious charae•
ter, there is no room to doubt. It was reported at
Vera Cruz, when the Woudh.try left, that nearly one.
bell of the Mexican at my bad revolted and declared
against Santa Arm, but this onus seems to lack confit
mution. It is touted in the Galve,ton papers that a
very small part of the contribution of four ruidions
of dollars, granted by Congress for the war against
Texas, had been realized, and that a much larger sum
had been already expended—that the Government of
Mexico was compelled to resort to extraordinary and
unauthorized means to obtain it at most usurious rates
to put the troops in motion—that a part only of the
troops were paid, and those only on whom Su to Ana
relies. •
It Wll6 currently reported in Gsvelston, when the N
York left, that General Arista had taken part with
Permits, and. wns marching ut the head of a large
force upon San Louis Potosi.
Santa Ann reached remit , on the right of the 14th
alt, on his way to the city of Mnxteo: about eight
thousand troops were on the road in tnivrthee of him.
There was peat unwidingness to pay the 4,000,000
contribution, and 'Congress had refaced, by a very
large vote, to authorise a loan, openly declaring that
although they were willing to contlibutc money ter the
war agMnst Tesms, they would not do co u n til Santa
Ann had changed his trittisters, and the large cum pre
vionslv voted had been accounted-fee.
Tho revolution has been long brew in:. it is thought.l
and upon its issue it will depend whether Mexico w ill
be ruled by a represtmtative government or a flictator.
A strong interest in Alexico and Vera Crux is repre
sented as prefer( ino.o see Santa Anna wield absolute
power, and the British Minister is said to 6n nt the
heal of -this party. He has alto stly notified the Con
.lllGenerid, and through Urn the merchants of his
'Government, that in case they pay duties to any of
Santa Anna's opponents, the Government of Great
Britain will riot interfere with any measures Santa
Anna may adapt to compel repayment.
To oppose him. Santa Ana has nlmnst all the North
ern and Western States of Mexico, where diriffection
is w idely spre rd. General 'Paredes ha; placed nim
self at the head of the revolt, and justifies himself in n
long proclamation which appears in the Mexican pa
pers. denouncing the conduct of Santa Arta. lie al
leges that the army is almost in a .state of disorgani
zation; complains of the disorder existing in the pub
lic offices of the nation; denounces the abuses of the
treasury department; while opposed to the indepen
dence of Texas. he calla the battle of San Jacinto "a
disgraceful surprise" of Santa Ana; accuses him of
using the millions of treasure and thousands of troops
raised for the re-conquest of Texas, for his own selfish
and ambitious purposes; and, Isetly, he charges him
with aggravating the unhappy moral -effects of a se
ries of civil convulsions and wars, by fir agvant breath:
as of law and violations of right; he charges that in
the acts cf his life there is to be found nothing great.
nothing noble, nothing decent; that he has pursued
ends low and culpable; that his tortuous career has
been that of a tyrant made insolent by power and in
fatuated by prosperity; and that his low rt.plicity and
unmeasured ambition are .unworthy to be compared
with the bold generosity of great tyrants. He is par
ticularly accused of a breach of the 6th article of the
Bases of TacubSya, by which he was to he responsible
Ix his acts to the first Constitutional Corgress. lie
concludes his manifesto by demanding that all the
acts of Santa Ana, from October 10, 1840. to the end
of '43, shall be submitted to the. examination of Con
gress, anall.that, pending the examination. Santa Ana
shall not exercise "the glorious functions of First
Magistrate of tire Repnblir—"

MR BENTON'S ANNEXATION BILL
The following is a copy of the bill introduced into
the Senate on Wednesday, by Mr Benton, and now
(in company withr Mr McDuffle's Joint Resolution on
the same subject) before the COMMilteo on foreign re
lotions: ,

the United States.
Be-it enacted, 4.e. That the President of the Uni

VII. Other details of the annexation tc be Rajas.
tei by treaty. so far as the saO.e may come within the
scope of the reaty tasting power.
Naturalized Citizens.—lt is singular that the
whizs should express so much displeasure toe ards .
naturalized citizens for voting the Democratic ticket, !
when they call to mind the contumely with w hick that
Tarty has ever been in the habit of throwing a l ien a
class of chizena. who, generally speaking, arc remarka
ble fur their Trier. industrious habits, and who never
vote under the influence of interested motive . How
in the name of common sense, can they vote for the
whig,S, who have declared etetnal war against them
as a does? With what face can they vote against the ,
demur-rats, whose political principles obliges them to
regat d all citizens, natives or naturalized, as equally
entitled to enjoy the rights and privileges guarantied
to all by the Constitution? How could naturalized
citizens do oil erwise than take sides with their friends?
They would be the serfs, the sods if clay that the
whigs wish to mike them out to he, if they gave their
sidlrages to such enemies under such eircarnitances.
If the whigs would only cease their vilification and
abuse of them—unly cease heaping inschs upon them;
the naturnlized citizens would have no feeling in the
- matter; they scold merely base to investigate the
conduct and examine the tioctrie.lo - the tw °great par
ties, in order to determine which is the more worthy
of their confidence and support. As the affair now
stands, they cannot join the whigs, if they would, they
ate drivenand futced into the democratic party whether
they will or no: and there the madness and malignity
of their persecutors compel them to remain.

Disastrous Inundation of Ike Arno.—A letter
from Florence, dated Nov. 4th, published in the for

the Arno, which hid more usiscbiel than any flood in
Tuscany since 17418.
The inhabitants wore blockaded in their homes,
unprovided with food, and subjected to the agonies of
hunger and terror for their lives. The Arno river is
strewed with ogricuhural implements, frag ments of
furniture, cattle. and other objects, which sow that
immense damage has been done up the country. AH

Messrs. Editors: Having been for some time past
very much afflicted with a severe cold and almost con

as cough candies, syrups, &c., and all to no effect. I
was induced by my esteemed and worthy ft lend W.
W. Wallace, of this city, to make trial of R. E. Sel
lers' cough syrup, I did so, an 4 to my great surprise 1
received almost imetant.retief. It was wit h the great
est difficulty. .that could lecture before my respected
classes, but on taking a spoonful ()film syt up, just be
foreentering my lecture room, I could speak with per
fect ease during the evening. Cwould particularly
re''l t ' l nts ier ' d It to clergymen , lass tllks and tither public
speakers. I have used two hot only, within the
lust six or eight days, and arum perfectly cured. I
feel it to be my ditty as a Philitdlssopts . " t to make this
public acknowledgment of the of the article,
for I consider it to be the best tiotiebefiire the public.
The taste is a= pleasant 03 honey... Before leaving this
