Bv the arrival here ol the Ledger's Pnnyjx
prees, in test than fix daya from New Orl. sn,
a n ex'ra I'csyune, published on the efterniwn
of the 221 innt. , has been received, containing
liter intelligence from M xiro, bmtijlil by the
etcsm propeller Edith, from Vera Cruz. '
Ilrr dniea trom Vera Cruz are tothe8th init ,
two days later than previously received.-
A letter from Qoerclaro, under date of the
2otli ult., states thut seventy one deputies were
then in that city, and seventy othere were
known to be on the way. It was believed that
stifTic'ent number would soon be present to o
pen the session of Congrees, and that the firs'
bus'ness would be the election of President. The
eindidates for the office were Pcna y Pens, A1,
tnnnte and tlerrera.
Intelligence had reached Queretaroot de
sign entertained by the stock-jobbers at the city
of Mexico, to form the Republic into two great
States, and annex the same to the American
Union. Tne "Rsyonador," a newspaper publi
hed at the Capital, maintains the opinions of
this new party.
The Arcolria stales that the number of Mrxi
can troops now in the field st different stations
throughout the Republic, amount to thirty-one
thousand.
A tetter from the National Bridge, under date
of the 4th inat., gives the particulars ol Genersl
Pattersjn's march there without molestation
lie had established his headquarters st Sants
Anna's former residence. Col. Hughes' com
- mand was still there. The heslth of this Com
mand was generally (rood. About fifty on the
sick list.
General Patterson had been visited by a C m
missioner from Padre Jsrsots, with Pesce pro
positions, stating that he had become tired of
war, and wished to come under the protection
of the Americans. In reply, Gen. Patterson
coolly told the Commissioner, thst if Jjtrauta
wished to return to Vera Cruz ss a good citizen,
he must disperse his command and proceed
tliert instantly, and in that case he would not
be molested. To thia General PutteMon addid
the utihurance that he should hang every Outr
riha he anight.
Tiie reported fi-jht between Jarnuta and Zi'
nobi.i id confirmed. J-iraut was worsted in lh
c in.!. ct, and tliie, it is supposed, is the cause of
!iis petccible intentions.
General Patterson's train was to proceed for
Wurd on the 5th, and the Baltimore battalion
was to accompany him.
A letter from Vera Cruz, dated the 6th atate
that goods forwarded into the interior, via Ori
Ziba, were no longer taxed by the Mexican an
ihoritiee, showing that the guerrilla lorca along
the roads is becoming weaker.

Never wal there an act f grosser Injustice
dan by Congrese to the Centitry Press, tha n't ks
Sadden, uncalled for aoj'unjust repeal f tha law
permitting newspapers to bs carried free for 30
miles. The law, as it now s'ande, does tbe gross
sest InjirttiCt to ih Country Press, while it gives
the City presses all they csn desire. It taxes tbe
country papers, while it exempts those from the
Isrge cities. City publishers now bsve their a
gents in all tbe principal places, and three fourths
of their pspers are aent to them, on all tbe prin
cipal mall routes, as eVrcAeaffise. while the
country publishers have none of these advanta
gea. on scconnt of their, limited operationa and
want of facilities, who mut send their pspers
direct to their subscribers through the mail, or
where they can send some by tbe mail carriers,
they are subjected to troubles, difficulties and
expenses, and ether annoyances thst none but an
editor csn appreeiste. We do not complain of
our carriers, who have aln-ays been disposed to
oblige os j but tbe system is snch sons that must
continne to work injury to the Country Preaa,
diminish ita circulation and consequently its in
fluence. Tbe city publishers have so many lo
cal and other advantages over those of the coun

hand to the latter than attempt to crush them.
Let tbe whole country press speak botdly in da

Til Contribution l.vvlad by Ben. teott.
The St. Louis Republican of the IStb contains
a long and interesting letter fiom an evidently
well-informed correspondent dated "City ol
Mexico, Nstionsl Pslsee. October 17, 1847."
We give the following extract.
The Municipal vithnrnip of this city hsve
psid tha third instalment of the one hundred and
fifty thonrand dollar contribution levied Uffnn
them by the General-in-Chief, leaving two in.
e'alin"n a of thir'y -houpand ech yet to te paid
the fir-t of which fall due on Monday next, the
13'h inat., and the last on the Monday week
tnVowinjr. They Imve also been required by
the G'-ncral in Chief to make pro vie inn for the
maintenance nf ihe prisoner of war in the city,
which they have at last done, but with great
reluctance.
From the wek'y account rendered tn the
Governor, the cf tit es collected at tr.e different
nates entering the city, upon produce, market.
inc. pulque, (national beverage) &c, amnunta
to a fraction within forty-five thntifand dolUrea
month. In Iheexpeditureof tliiaaum they are
held to a rigid accountability, which is evident
ly ss annoying, aa it is unuaual. to them. Tim'
I have no doubt, but what in spue of all thi
Gove rner'e vigilance, the collectors at the gates.
and the Ayontiamientn, or civil authorities, sue
ceed in plifering nne third st less! of the week
ly revenues. Thia taxation is most oppressive
upon every species of industry. And the only
reaeon ati;ned by the Gem-rat in Chief tor al
lowing thia burden of oppression, end, I may
add wickedties. to beeuiitinued upon the labor
ing classes, is that he required them tn bear sll
the expenses of the city, including the expenses
of our own adtniniitrstnm of affairs. Their bur
dene, however, have in mny respects been
greatly alleviated. And ttu-y apparently pay
thia enormnua tax with more slarrity, than at
any period previous to our taking possession of
Ihe city.
You will understand that the shove sum o Iv
includes the collections at the other patea. O
ther rpecieenftaxation within the limita of the
gates, and pot included tn the above, equals, if it
dot-s not exceed, the shove ammtnt. So that it
is s reasonable estimate, to aet down tho total
receipts of the municipal authorities, monthly
at one hundred thousand dollar. Tha reeipt
at the patee would bo enhanced at leaat five
thousand dollars a month, but for tha order of
the Governor permitting supplies of every kind
fur the use of the srmy, to b admitted frea of
all taxation or dutiee whatever.'

The President's Messsge will sot leave the
White House before the Spesker is elected, and
will not be delivered till the dsy after. It wilt
bs an able and fine document,- dwelling princi
pally on the eauaes nf the war, and Ihe manner
of its prosecution. Tbe President will not re
commend any particular course of action; but
leave that for Congress to determine; "This'is.
perbapa, a wiae coarse under the Whig manifes
to, and In view of lbs threatening attitude asse
nted by tbe friends at Mr. Calhoun. These, I
have na doubt, will, tn the end, vote and art
with the Whigs, and diminish the Democratic
majority in tbe Senate, while they increase the
Whig majority of tbe Honse. , Eventually, the
Calhoun men mean ta go for Taylor j hoping
thereby to throw the election into the Home, and
to elect either Lim or Mr Calhoun by the ba
lance of power party. This is rsther a bad proa
pert for the old hero; for. thua far, Calhoun haa
mined the political prospects of any man with
whom he baa come in contact.
The two prominent Democratic candidatee for
the Presidency are, at thia moment, Mr. Bnchan
an and Gen Cass; but it ia impossible to say
bat tbe next three or four montha will brin
forth. Mr. Van Bureo was the prominent, and
the only prominent candidate in 184 1. till the
question of annexation was agitated in Congress
and then Mr. Van Buren became imposib!e. I
think we (hall have boisterous political time,
and there ia no knowing whom they will bring
to the etirfare The Presidential candidatea at
thia time are not half told; we sha'l hear more
of them aa the occasion calls forth the man. Mr.
Buchanan ia now the rjiampion of the Missouri
compromise. Gen. Csss is uncommitted, Mr. Dal
las goe for constitutional rights, but champioi.s
of other principle msy srie, apparently more
important, and enlist tbe popular suffrage.

Congress will be Mexico sod iha routinuance of
the war. Tbia will be made tbe issue, between
partiea. Several great atatesmen in and out of
Congress have already expressed their opinion
upon the subject, and the view of other are
anxiously expected. A enrrespood.-nt nf the
Baltimore Sun, writing from Washington, com
pare Mr. Calhoun's opinion with Mr. Clay's
He ssys :
Tbe Calhoun men are coming here to propose
and advocate with great earnestness their pro
ject to define anil defend a boundary line, ana
limit the operationa of the war to the defence of
that hue. They would however, relinquish
that policy fur the aake of adopting Mr. Clay's
project, provided it can be carried. Mr. Clay ia
not in favor nf taking any territory, but that of
Texaa, and that ia. in fact, the substance ol Mr.
Calhut n's famous resolutions of the last session,
against the faither increase ofnon (lavebolding
territory.
I do not see that there ia any essential differ
ence of view between Mr. Clay and Mr Cal
hnun. Mr. Calhoun was opposed to tbe arqu-
aitionofany territory except that to be embra
ced in Ihe Texaa boundaries, and 10 i Mr. Clay
The only difference ia, that Mr. Calhoun goe to
the Rio Grande, and Vr Clay stops short at tbe
Nueces; that Mr.' Calhoun would defend a
boundary line that would give 11a California,
(though be deprecated the annexation of any free
territory.) and Mr Clay wilt not continue the
war a aolitary hour for that object.
Alluding to the report that Mr. Adam intend
to advocate tbe annexation of Mexico, be ssys
The opinions of Mr John Q. A da ma in regard
to tbe annexation of Texaa are of no great con
aequence. Mr, Adama wilt go for an exationto
embarrass the administration, not to help it, and
will acarcely take aa elevated a ground aa tbe
