Importint llrsimtchcs rrom Mexico.
'John L. Dorscy, lq., l-earcr of despatches fnm
Mexico, to our Government, aimed in litis city
1asi evening, via. Key Writ nml Piiisacola, having
li ft Vrra Ciuz on the 17lh ul.
The despatches we learn, aenf a vrry important
character in relation to our d Ihcullic with Mcxi
co. When Mr. I. loft, great excitement prevailed
toward the Government of the United States. A
.proclamation was issued the ly before hisdep-u-lure,
of a most violent sod i. ti am .tory chancier,
alling upon the citizens to unite and resist (he ag
gression of the United Slates; denouncing nurciti
rtia a theivca, robbers and scoundrels, who arc
dcMrnus to overthrow their religion, plumlcr their
churches, and prostitute thc4r wives and daugh-
tern.
The Army of ihe Mexican Government amount
to npwiirda of 50,000 effective men, and wn daily
receiving addition from vai ions section of the ion
rmmdiiig country. Upwaids of 21.1,000 men had
been ordered to the frontier of Tex as, fui the pur
pose of conquering it. Her Navy had also under
gillie considerable increase, the Government hnvini!
purchased two war sleami r in F.ngluuJ tor the
purpose of co-ojiernting wiihthe Army.
FURTHLR FROM MBXICfl.
Mr. Dorsey, lartT of despatches to this Govern
ment, who arrived in town on Tuesday morning
n hi way to Washington, has furnished us with
a few additional particulars in respect to the condi
tion of thing in the Mexican Republic. At the
present time, he says it ia almost impossible to form
any defu ftc klea of the action of thitt Govrrnmcnl,
n it is entirely under the control of Santa Ann.
Under the seventh article of the Treaty, a Conven
tion which was held in 18U, he sccurca lo him
self the entire management of the iifl'airs of the
Republic, and at this lime exercise domestic pow
er. When the Congr.ss opened, it wng understood
generally that miiny of it member would refuse
4o take the oath prescrilied ly the President, hut he.
fore flic day arrived for their meeting, those who
Viad particularly insi-ted upon overruling the deci
sion of the President came forward and look the
oath. In fact ihishody is entirely suliservi.nl lo
his dictatorial view.
He has, without the assent
ofCor,eie...rr,cted an important nmdilic .tion of
thr Tarijf system
Many of Ihe ,n.,ul.,c-.tti,.g ,
establi-hments nnd merchants, were anxious for the
removal of the interdiction as regard the introduc
tion of cotton crops has failed in Mexico. f.inla
Ana diterniined immediately te gutt fy this teque-l,
accordingly the interdict was remiwd. but he soon
discovered that he had net received a ivffirient trilie,
and ag tin it wss soon established; but further o
verlmes being made to annul the interdict, and the
bribe being increased, Santa Ana agreed to their
propositions, and after the 1st of October, it wa
decided a it was generally Relieved, that cotton was
to be imported into the country, p rying a small im
port duly. It ishowevir apparent that Great Brit
ain is opposed to this free trade policy, and it is said
thai she will remonstiate agr.in-t any modification
of the tiiriff duties, believeing Ibat it would be inju
rious to her extensive manufacturing est iblisli
ment. It wua also understood, that after the 1st
day of NnvemlieT the interdiit ami the importation
of bacon would lie removed.
'I bese steps h ive been taken wilhlwof.d d object
first, to gratify the cupidity of S.iiila Ana, and j
secondly to augment her revenue. The augmenta
tion of her revcnHO is a param.itint object Willi the
Mexrian (Jovi rnmet.t. The chaTgi s on her Treas
utv are immense, and hence the moirifioari of be'
policy.
The two war s'eamrrs recently purchased, h is
eo-t the noverntiH'tit a considerable amount of mon
ey. They are lobe manned by English seamen,
and will transport to Mexico 21)00 n:en, all piepa
ted fir warlike purpose.
As soon as difficulties thickened in the country
in ri latinn to the United Slaves, minivers were des
patched, by Mexico to ull of the South American re
publics soliciting biiccoi. They heki the following
language :
'That the United .Stales would conifneMhis coun
try, and unless yoH ensile us to res si such iignn
t'iolia us may l e perpetniled by ihe UoiK'd Siuti.
t.he w ill proceed lo ei brace hi her mighty grsphe
whole of the (Southern colitioenl.'"
Accordingly Columbia had agreed lo furuih
2000 men, and more pecuniary aid. No hiiswci lo
these propositions had been receivej liom Ihe j
Republic.

confirmed our prediclioi s, every men brr from

to get up the free-trade doctrine in this state. The

were in opposition to Soudiern policy, ha, in con

a tariff in Pennsylvania. . These journal are, how
ever, under the control of interested politicians.

and we regret to say that they have too many echus
in journal professing to he democratic, who cannot
conceive that they have right to think for them
selves upon a sulject if such deep importance to

Mr. Uuchanan's speech in the U. S. Senate, on the
Tariff Di'l, that our free-trade friend have not a

visages. The whole Pennsylvania delegation, Hi. use
and Senate, have voted for a protective tariff such
a tariff as we have always advocated. What will
our fiee-trade editor say of the ir democracy sow !
We predict, that in less than two years, our deleg i
lion will be instructed to vote for the Distribution

Whilst at Hani!. tug or elsewhere, I held no
conversation or rorrespondeuee, either with you
or any ether individual, In reference to the subject
(corruption of the Legislature,) bcfoio the Com
mittee, and that t know of no Corrupt means used
either directly or indirectly, for the purpose of in
fluencing the action of the Legislature, or any
department of tho Government, for the benefit of
the bank.
I regret etressivrly, that a long nbscrnce from
this Slate, on business of deep and all absorbing iiw
teres! to my concerns here, prevented me from at
tending before the Commiilee at llarrisburg, and
that I hsve only i-rfry, for ther lime, read the
testimony referred to, in your letter.
In conclusion, t have only to remark, that a t
ihose who acted with me, at Ifarrinburg, were, so
far a t could judge, influenced by the purest mo.
lives, and a deep anxiety Tor the general welfare,
and believed that the supicnion of the Dank, was
under the pressure of an inevitable and over whelm
ing nece-siiy. and if not sustained by wise legisla
tion, would break down the best interests of tho
Sta'e and paralir.e all business.

The Mormons.
Jne Smith anttO. I'. Huehwell. Weundersfand
from Mr. Ford, the genllcmin wlu was the agent
of i he State of Missou i in conveying from Gov.
Reynold to Gov. Carlin of Illinois the requisition
of i he former for the persons of Smith and Rock
well, that the proper authorities have as yet liecn
unable to comply with the demand. Mr. ForJ in
forms u, say the New Era, that the proper writ
wore issued by Gov. Carlin, and placed in the
hands of the Sheriff and I wo deputies, and they, in
company with our informant, proceeded to Nauvoo
on Monday In-t. They found Smith and Rock
wi II, and served the writs upon them about 9 o'
clock in the morning. They were in a carriage,
j '"-viewing a bo.ly of Mormon troop. Smith ig-
nilirti ins intention ot cl nming llie protection ot
the Curpoiaiii'n Ordinunce, macied to suit the caso
by the Nauvoo Council, which declares that no
ietson shall be taken nut of the Corporation wi'h
out llr-t having had a trial before tho Municipal
Atithoiilic. The olficei were unwilling lo lie a
parly lo ihi farce, nnd, after wailing until near
sun down, relumed to tjuiiicy, and reported ihe
fact lo (iov. Carlin.
Smith openly defied the Government of both
Sta'e, and ilei lured that he would not be taken lo
Missouri, where he could not exeet a fair trial.
Guv. Cailm manifested ev. ry desiie lo secure the
arrest of the arcused, but disliked Ihe expense
which would attend the calling out of the Militia
lo enforce hU order, and the officers were instruct
ed to return a "ccud time to Nauvoo, to execute
the process in their hands. They did so, but on
their anival ihey were unnble lo find elder Smith
or Rockwell. It wis understood, that Smith had
! ,",n equally fx pedilious with the olficers had
nllvlf,', movements at iuincy, ana
i act J ul"'n ,hc K'"''1"' ' legal counsel at
ijuinry. to quit Nauvoo for a time. Our informant
left ihe officer at Nnuvoo, but there is no expec

er are loo well armed and loo numerous to per
mit any thing of the kind to be done.
Mr. Ford informs us that il was the general opin
ion among the Mormons that Rockwell was tho
pen n who shot Gov. Hoggs, and many of them
i stand if R -ckwell did not commit the deed it wa
j at the ius.lig.vinn, er with the knowledge ofSmith.
He further ml' run us that Cov. Carlin is about to
lem.oe. the Slate's Arms from Nauvoo.
Thk Go v Kn ok or Illinois n thx Moa
xons The Si. Louis Republ can, on the authority
of a letter from Ijuincy, Iliinois, slates that since
ihe election iu that State, Governor Carlin has re
solved to comply wiih the requi-ition of the Gov.
ernor of Mis-ouri, and deliver up Jisa Smith and
A. P. Rockwell The Sherill' of Hancock county,
elected at ihe ptesent elecfon. being a Mormon,
the writ was pi iced in the hands of Ihe SheriuTuf
Adams county. The Slieiilf repa'ned lo Nauvoo

and arrested Mmthand P.iK-kwe I, when a h!,eu,
eiirjnt was issued by soaie of the N uivuo authori
ties, and ihe prisoners taken out of the SherilPs
custody and released. The Sheriff had just re
turned from tjuinry and tep-irted the facta. The
let'er adds that it was currently reported that Cov.
Caibn w then in the act of issuing orders call
ing out Ihe military, lo enforce the arrest, and il
wa eiM?cted they would march on the d iy fol
lowing for Nauvoo. Il was however confidently
believed, thai when the Ir.iops should reach the city
j Joe nJ j,i colleague would have abscjiidcd

New llngland Society who recommended the in
troduction of women in place if wine at enleitain
nients. On this hint Fiaccus. the well known eon
ttilHitor lo ih Knickerlocker Magazine, has wril
ten some very pntty lines, which he h is inscribed,
iu the form of an epistle, to the aforesaid President
Here are the first five veres :
Oh ! weak and fool-hardy reformer,
To substitute women for wine;
The glow of whose presence is warmer
Than the sunniest juice of the viue.
Believe me, less fit, I re jnleri
Thau women in wi'rhry skilled ;
For there ooes teoie, venom from two lips
Than ever fro',, grain wss distilled.
Who b?.it'.ri f.irU'auly hi whiskey,
Too change will tw certain lo rue ;
For net e es shed a spirit in re frisky
Than I nks iu ihe best "mountain dew."
