niched us with an aviken
ticalsatruct of the Mexican news np to the 10th inst.
It will be seen'that the intelligence. published exclu
sively in the Picayune of Wednesday last—that Capt.
Elliott, the Siitish Charge to Texas (who left Galves
ton some weeks ago as he said for Charleston.) had in
fact gone secretly to Mexico--is eopfirrned. It will
be seen also that out statement that the Texan Govern
ment had sent secret agents, along with Capt. Elliott,
4* 10041,4* the Texan people for a valueless recognition
of itsdePendency by Mexico, is also confirmed; and
that the account we published of Senor Canado's mis
sion to the United States was likewise correct.
We make a literal transcription of such portions of
the abstract furnished us. as may interest the public—
assuring our readers that the most implicit reliance
may be placed upon it:—
"The bill allowing the Minister of Foreign Affairs
the power to negotiate a Treaty with Texas for her
ludependence, with the rrovisio that she shall not be
annexed to the United States, passed the hlexican
House of Rapresntatives on the 3d iost-, by a vote of
41 for, to 13 against it, after a stormy debate of three
days. It was immediately sent to the Senate, where
it was believed it would be concurred in unanimously.
A repott to that effect reached Vera Cruz some days
before I sailed, but the last mail, of the IGth, brought
Ito confirmation of it.

MILD ST • MR. SMITH, SECRET AGENT FROM THE
GOVERNMENT OF TEXAS. They arriveed from Gal-
Tlngon on the 11th of April, in the British frigate
Eurydice. He bad returned to Vera Cruz, and was
waiting the action of the Senate upon this bill when
leaned. When the result was known, he would re
turn to Galveston with' it, in the same vessel.
"Upon the 2tl of this month Senor Canedo, formerly
member of the Mexican Congress, took passage from
Vera Crux in the American barque Eugene, for New
York, upon a diplomatic mission from the government
of Mexico to that of the United States; but his depart
ure was not known until it was announced in the mor
ning newspapers of the 10th inst."
Here we have a dis'closure of events of the highest
moment. The impottant fact established by them
being that a secret negotiation is going forward be
tween Texas and Mexico, under the auspices and pro
tection of the British Government; and that English
vessels of war are employed in conducting the conspi
rators to and front Mexico: and that the basis of this
negotiation is avowed hostility to the purposes and
policy of the United States. We will not stop to
inquire what line of conduct it devolves upon the
United States to pursue when an intrigue is con
ducted upon her borders to check her progress, crip
ple her influence and baffle the will of the American
people; but we know full well what use Mr. Madison
and Mr. Monroe would make of the means offensive
and defensive of the United States, had such an un
friendly, gratiteous and insulting interference between
the sovereign powers of this hemisphere been attemp
ted in their day. The extent of the means employed
by England. and the nature of them, too, may be in
ferred from her success in bringing the Mexican Con
gress to pass a hill, virtually recognizing the Indepen
dence of Texas, noon the simple condition that she re
flues to be annexed to the United States. The stub
bornness of the Mexican character is made to bend to
the waving of the British ceptre, and the only recom
pense for her humility, is the interdiction of the con
nection •f Texas with the United States—leaving her
free to be united with any other power tinder the sun.
The mention of Monrne's name in this regard, makes
the air have a gunpowderodor.
We proceed to make further levies upon the ab
stract before us, and files of papers with which we
have been furnished from the same source, in relation
to the general news in Mexico.
We are informed that Mexico is in a most distracted
and unsettled condition, amounting almost Ina state of
revolution. The States of Tabasco and Puebla had
already declared in favor of the Federal Constitution,
and a general meeting had been held in Vera Cruz a
few days before the departure of the Somers, for that
purpose; but immediate active measures were suspen
ded at the request of the Governor. who appears to be
popular with all patsies.
Several arrests of military men charged with revo
lutionary designs, had been made in different parts of
the Republic, and in one instance a quantity of arms had
been taken from them.
II
It is thought by a great many that the present Gov
ernment cannot sustain itself much longer, and the idea
of its declaring war against the United States has been
abandoned by all sensible men. Congress, to be sure,
has passed a bill to raise $3,000.000. to prepare for a
war about to take place; but we are informed that the
opinion is pretty general that the money cannot be ob
tained, and that it was not designed for that purpose,
as they would not venture, underexistingcircun.stances,
to collect together any considerable number of troops.
The present army of Mexico is said to consist of
21,000 officers and less than 20,000 men!
Santa Anna was still confined in the Castle of Pe
rote, but no doubt was entet tained that he would soon
be liberated, if he is not already free to depart at pleas
ure. The impression that he will again be reinstated
in power is becoming to be generally sustained, and
many think that this will take place before the expira
tion of six months.

The statement before ns accounts for the mysterious
appearance of the Ralampaeos in our waters—as we
suppose• this is the vessel alluded to in the following
extract:
"When the Enelish merchants at Vera Cruz heard
.ef Senor Canodo's departure, they chartered a schoon
er for New Orleans, which sailed on the 10th inst.—
The following evening we came up with and passed,
&boot 8 o'clock, a vessel very much like her, standing
upon the same course with us."
In regard to the American squadron at Vera Cruz,
wo have the following information:
"The arrival of our squadron at Vera Cruz created a
greatexcitement; and also in, the city of Mexico, where
it was represented to consist ci twentyone sail of men
of war! The unexpected presence of this squadron
had, no doubt, a salutary influence, and possibly might
base caused the mission, so privately determined up•
on, to the United States."
'Of Mr Shannon we hear this much:
"MrShannon, late Aniericurt Minister, had engaged
his passage in an American vessel, and would sail a
bout the 46th inst. for Ne ✓York. It does not appear
that he possessed anyknowledge of the political afriirs
of the capital of Mexico, and he is not considered in
any other light than an obscure American citizen,
whose name is never alluded to as one at all connected
with the important transactions ofthe day."
The 'allow fever begiiis to show itself in Vera Cruz
which we believe is always the case at this season of
the year.
The officers and crew of the squadron enjoyed very
good health, but were getting tired of lying at anchor
under Green Island [lsla Verde] without having any
communication with the shore, and upon an allowance
of fresh water with tho thermameteraveraging 82 deg.
to 83 deg., and exercising at general Timers so much
in that enervating climate.
The Somers was to have left Pensacola on the 22d,
returning immediately for Vera Cruz.
We learn that the brig Franklin, Capt. Nickerson,
which has been on a whaling voya g e in the Golf for
.3 months, during which time she has taken 2 sperm
whales that yielded 26 barrels of oil, lately put in at
Pensacola, on account of a mutiny tl,a , broke out a

THOS. PIM:LAPS I WM. H. SMITH, EDITORS.
PITTSBURGH; WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4, 1895
On Monday forenoon, Judge HENav's stnble in Bea
ver was discovered to be on fire; it was destroyed, to
gether withanother stable belonging to Mrs. Cuctt BA N ;
and a borne and carriage belonging to that lady. She
was insured, we are told, in the Mutual Insurance Of-
fice in this city.
The engines had scarcely returned home, when the
kitchen belonging to Judge Henry's house was found
to be on fire, having caught, it is supposed, from
sparks from the stables previously burnt. This fire was
soon extinguished, with uolittle trouble, and the wea
ried and alarmed firemen and citizens, once more re
turned to their houses.
The fact that all the firesbroke out in stables, induced
the belief that they were the work of incendiaries, and
meetings of the citizens were held and patrols appoin
ted, which will be kei tup fot some weeks. Doting
the fires, most of the people, in the vicinity where
they occurred, carried out their goods, and in the
huery and alarm, several thieves were detected at their
revolting work, and were arrested. The patrol have
arrested but one person as bet, although they have
seen (as they thought) several suspicious characters'
prowling about. The person taken up was found on
Monday night, near • stable., He said he wi.lted
to sleep there, and that he was going to Warren next
morning. He thanked the patrol for finding him
l odging, and they dismissed him in the morning.
Il3rWe have, with much surprise, heard some per
sons suggest a principle in relation to the sufferers by
the fire of the 10th of April, which is most insulting
and unjust to a majority of those who lost all of the
little they were worth, by that calamity. In reply to
the arguments in favor of paying the poor the full a
mount of their losses, it is said that if this plan should
be adopted, the whole city would be burnt by persons
of this class, with the hope that they would receive pe
cuniary aid for their intentionai m'sfurtune.
The persons who will make such assertions must
necessarily believe that every poor man is a villain, who
for the consideration of a few dollars. would not hesi
tate to bring ruin and desolation on the city, and place
in jeopardy the lives of hundreds of our citizens.
This Di a horrible sentiment to entertain of the poor
of our city, and a more unwarrantable or unjust one
could not have been imagined. There is nu city or
town in the Union where the working portion of the
community is more honest and exemplary than in
Pittsburgh, and we know but very few poor men who
suffered by the late fire, in whose integrity we would
not place the most implicit confidence. They are poor
in worldly means, but in sterling honesty and upright
ness inbusiness, they are exemplars of probity,
which, if followed by many of those who assume to
judge them thus harshly, would tend to their own im.
provement.
We cannot imagine in what motive this cruel impu
tation against file poor could have originated, if it is
not fur the purpose of inducing the Councils to with-
hold from them the means contributed for their relief,
so that there may he a larger fund left to loan to the
wealthy individuals whose "feelings of honest pride"
will not permit them to take any portion of it as a
donation.
We pronounce this imputation a base slander upon
the honest, virtuous poor men who lost their all in the
terrible calamity that has fallen upon us, and repel the
application of such infamous principles to any portion
of our citizens. If any unworthy means are retorted
to for the purpose of getting more than an honest por
tion of the relief fund, we do not think it will be done,
by the poor; n3r do we think, from present indications,
that the claims of any of them, will be allowed before
they undergo the most rigid scrutiny.
Guy. Jones' VVITHDRAWAL.--We see from the
Tennessee NV hig paper that Col. M. P. Gentry, feel
ing himself injured by the courso of Gov. Jones, in
becoming a candidate fur Congr..?ss in the Rutherford
Digit ict, has induced Gov. Jones to withdraw from the
canvass. It was wise of the Governor to do so
for if they had both remained in the field until the
August election, the democrats would handle them in
a manner that would be anything but agreeable to
the Gentry and Joacses.

GREAT ROBBKRT.—We learn from the American
of yesterday, that on Monday night the house of James
Anderson. Esq., of Allegheny city was entered by a
party of burglars, and robbed of property to a large
amount. Persons are cautioned against purchasing
the goods, and dealers in silver are notified of the bur
glary with a view of detecting the perpetrators of this
offence, for which is offered a reward by Mr. Anderson.
Mr. A. had retired to bed much fatigued, and beard
nothing of the robbers during their stay in the house.
He also found in the morning that they had barricaded
all the doors leading to the second story where the fam
ily slept, from the first story in which they were so in
dustriously at work, and from which they toil almost
every thing portable.

IMPORTANT DHCOVERY IN THE M•SUFACTURR
OF IRON.-A 51r Green of New Jersey has made an
improvement in the process of puddling ircn from the
pig to the bar, which may be interesting to our Pitts
burgh manufacturers. Instead of using the pig iron,
which costs about $35 the ton, he is enabled to use a
large portion of the ore, which costs bur $2 50 per ton
by which he effects, in labor and material, a saving of
more than 33 per cent . and he gives far better quality
of iron tha r that which is obtained from the pig; as
much better in appearance as Cbina is better than ear
thenwa: e. Mr Green's secret consists chiefly in mix
ing a composition with his ore, and while in a modern
state, by which the carbon is more rapidly exhausted
than it is under the old process, and the iron is thus, to
half the time, left tougher and finer.

BILAYILIt, Juno 2d, 1845.
We have had anumber of fires in this vicinity
within a few days. Yesterday forenoon a fire broke
out in the stable of Wm Adams, Bridgewater, which
consumed it and two other stables, belonging to Dr Jaw
Brown and A P Ankeny, and also the kitchen of Dr
Brown. • Loss not very great. In thaafternoon another
fire broke out in the Widow Cochran's stable, in Bea
ver, which was totally consumed, together with a val
uable horse and splendid carriage in the stable. This
morning (Monday,) the stable of Hon. Thos. Henry
was discovered to be on fire, and was wholly burnt up.
It was with the greatest difficulty that the fire was
prevented from burning Sedge Henry's house. A fow

FIRE FUND
Messrs. Editors—The Report of the Committee
appointed by the Councils to devise a plan for the dis
tribution of the "Fire Fund," I have read with close
attention, and find that it is by no means perfect, or
free from objection. lam aware of the diffilulty of
the task imposed, and the heavy responsibilities de
volving upon the Committee; and therefore, feel in
dined to pass judgment on their Report, with all the
indulgence which the peculiarity and delicacy of their
position demands. Much, however, as lam disposed
to award to them"the merit of industry and impartiali
ty," I cannot sanction what appears to me to be ob
viously wrong, or pass over in silence what strikes me
as unjust.
The arrangement of the Committee, respecting the
Third Cies:. is very injudicious, and manifests an ex
traordinary lack of di.crimination. While some of
the persons who resided in the “Burnt District," will
have their means, already abundant, considerably in
creased by the scheme in question, others who have
lost as much, and have absolutely nothing left, will
derive little or no benefit from it. No plan. so unequal
in i:s operation, can, in its constituent principles, be
just. When the tree is good, the fruit will necessarily
be good also. There' is no exception to this rule,
which is just as binding in temporal, as in spiritual
things. If Councils, therefore, have not adopted the
plan of distribution, proposed and recommended in
the Committee's Report, they had better take no ac
tion upon it, until it shall have been amended, so as
to merit and secure general approbation. If, on the
contrary, they have adopted the Report and Resolu
tions or the Committee, they had better reconsider
their proceedings, in order to render them more ac
ceptable to the people. Mush time, it is to be regret
ted, has already been spent, in the effort to mature the
arrangement in question; but it is better to submit to a
few additional days delay, than to suffer an infinitely
greater evil. Should it on further trial be found, that
the Councils can not elaborate a plan calculated to
give general satisfaction, then the people, who are the
only legitimate depository of power, ought to take the
business into their own hands.
No unkindness, or bad feeling, prompts the remark.
The public weal is the only motive by which the wri
ter is influenced. He feels assured that were discon
tent or dissatisfaction, to any great extent, to seize the
public mind, under existing circumstances, the conse
quences would be dreadful ; and in order to prevent
this state of things. so much to be deprecated, every
good citizen should be willing to make nny reasonable
sacrifice. OBSERVER.
