FROM MEXICO—THEAEVOLITTION COM. By New lettersfro . m :PLETE.- -. Orleans, and l e pa pers, wo ha ve further accounts from Mex ico. The volution which was com menced by, t movements of Paredes, has been tonsu mated, a new government formed; at t head of whiehhe is placed, with a :Cabinet as follows: Gen. Almonte, late Minister to the U. States, of War; Lew is Pana', of Finance; Joaquindel Castello and Lanzas, (formerly Minister to the U. . states,) of Foreign Affairs ; and the Bish op Beccova, of Justice. Paredes was elected President by a con vocation of Notables, two from each de partment. A Congress is to he called but no essential change is to be made in the guarantees of the Republic ; "the actual council to remain, to consult with the‘Pres ident in all serious state affairs; the au thorities of the departments to remain, ex cepting those opposing the present 'plan; the judicial power to continue in the ex ercise of its faculties, as heretofore; pre vious political - opinions to be respected." The government, we suppose, will not stand longer than that which has just been put down, unless it should be sustained by fear and force. Paredes,-though called by the Notablei to the Presidency, will only find himself at the head of the not-ables. There are elements at work which, for the present, forbid republican power and peace in Mexico. We find the following in a lettter : . . "To-day the American brig of war Som ers arrived &dm Pensacola, in ten days, bringing despatches from the American Minister; the' latter having not been re ceived in his quality, on the plea of his credentials not bein in order, was to come down to Peubla or Jalapa, until fresh in structions should arrive for him." - -We subjoin extract from a letter of our Now (Means correspondent: • . “NEw„Onr.Eliss, Jan. 23, 1846.

He applied for an es tort front Jalapa to the coast, which was refused, and I understand that 'some offi cers of the -U. States brig Somers have gone up to escort him down.- The best thing our government could do now, would •lie4O send a sqUadron down to Vera Cruz since it is useless t) negotiate." • The editors of the New Orleans Pica yitiie do not 'attach much credit to the. re port that Mr. Slidell had been treated as abOve Stated.

A letter from Vera Cruz On thei.l3th ' tilt the day' on which the PariO sailed, sim ply says—" Mr. Slidell demanded' his pass .ports, having failed in the object Of his mis sion." This appears to us (remarks the! Picayune), the more probable version From the N.Ltional loteltigencer Of Feb. 3 CONGRESS. The two houses of Congress are pro ceeding with great deliberation in reference to ;the Oregon question, which, from the apace it occupies, would seem to be the great business of the session—Which cer tainly over Shadows all other business— though, our readers must baVe perceived, every interest of the country would have been benefited had' the Executive not,. di rected the attention of Congress so almost exclusively to-it, and indeed had he, and his ,predecesior, in regard to this question, "let very well alone," as Ptesident hen., sox did, as President ADAMS had done be-. fore him, and as President VAN BUREN did after, him. The only effect of agitating . the question has been, we believe, to excite ap prehensions in the minds of the peace-lov ing, part of our people—constituting, we trust. and believe, a large majority -of the whole and thin to repress commercial en terprise and more or less embarrass all de- scriptions of business, with the result,. al- ready, of a loss to the country—a detrac tion from the common stock of wealth and prosperity—which we have seen estima ted, and we believe not overrated, at fifty millions of dollars. ' • The'House ,Of REPRESENTATIVES yes . terday received four new propositiohs and heard'one speech on the subject, and, find ing itself without a quorum after being lit - tle , more than' two hours in session, spent the rest of the day's sitting in trying to ad journ, accomplishing that task at a tittle af ter three o'clock;. having, in the course of the sitting, refused, by a'clecisive majority, toagree to a proposition to 'close the debate on Monday next. - , , In the SENATE, the Navy Increase Bill supported and opposed as having some bearing:upon the same subject, was' - not even taken up yesterday. Of the ultimate fate of the proposi liens relative :to the Oregon question de pending in either House . of Congress, vari ant arid discordant opinions are, we observe, eriotessed in the newspapers published out of this city, both editorially and by their Washington correspondents.

Mr.. Cabell. After all, it turns out .that our neighbor of the "Compikr7 was right some months since, when he predicted that Mr. CABELL would be ejected from his seat in Congress, and his place supplied by,a true disciple' of the modem school of "Democ racy.' The familiarity of our friend. with the teachings and requirements of this school has cer tainly rendered him the better prophet, and here after we shall submit, with becoming grace, in all matters involving faith in-the"patty." Forgetting the gross wrongs practised by a reckless majority, in the New Jersey, New Hamphire, Georgia, and Missouri cases, We were simple enough to suppose that even Locofocoism would be restrained bythe plain directions of right and law. It nettled but this fresh outrage to "remind" us of the dark cat alogue of similar misdeeds during Ihe few past years, and to show yet more clearly that Right. and Law, and Constitution are but cob-web im pediments in the onward march of "Progreisive Democracy." The Legielaturc. The time of the ',Senate during the past week has been principally occupied , in the discussion of the bill granting' the right of way to the Balti more- and Ohio Rathroad—the•Philadelphia and Eastern,men opposing, while the Pittsburg and Western members 'advocate the bill. The discus. sion is still going on. . The House has devoted its time principally to debates upon the Tatiff Question and the proposi tion for biennia: sessions.

The late arrivals from this Republic bring in telligence of , the entire success of the Revolution ary movement of Parades, and the'organization of a government understood to be' hostile to the 1.7. States. The accounts as ta the position of Mr. Scrnsr.r. are very contradictory, some represent ing 'him to have bein dismissed from the country, and others leaving him at Puebla, awaiting further instructions from our Government. The next news is looked for with much interest. If he has been rejected with insult, as some suppose, it is believed that the President will send to Congress a special message recommending some prompt and decisive measures towards Mexico. . . ShoclOiag Cruelty. The N. York papers axe commenting vrith just in dignation upon a most barbarous instance ol disci pl intlately inflicted upOn one 9f the convicts of the Auburn State Pris .n, One of the prisonere, named Plumb, a boy of about 20 year; was so se verely whiPped,by one of the keepers of the pris on, for alledged pretensions to appear crazy, that he died in afro days! This shocking instance of inhomanity,.so diecreditable to the age, has very properly been made the. subject •of • 14:slative inquiry. Plumb is-reportcd to have been afflicted with occasional fits of insanity before his impris eittneet4 - For some , offence in the prison, he- re ceived 170 lashes at one time, and ,12 more on the nett day, anddied`three 4.ywafterwards. The cit izens- of Anbarichweitigited the *Air, the ter& ner's verdict Was according to these statements, and the keeper of the prison, who inflicted the a Mr. Cor-. 11 az field to bail itt Oregon. The d isettssion of thisvesiionatill oc c upiea the attention of Congress and a large portion of the Press, and .it is very evident that a better temper prevells in regard to the pplicy of-the country.— The prompt move of Mr. ADLX,I, reconded by a nupher of Whigs, wrested from the hands of Lo corocsisin the "thunder" with which they design ed. crushing the Whig party, in succeeding elec tions, and has so spoiled the calculations of the Administration as to throw the camp of our oppo nents into a most delectable confusion. Finding himself beagle'', President Pplk has been com- Iled modify his arrogant tone; and ever since. the "official" has been kept busy in beating a care ful retreat, Of course the honest, confiding por tion of the party, who ad regarded the loud blue terings and professions of the Administration as sincere, have become disgusted with its duplicity. and unhesitatingly charge upon it an intention of "backing out." With but few exceptions, the lo cofoco3 have the whole discussion in Congress to thernselves,"Snd a beautiful mess they make of it. The clashing and vigorous assaults of differ ent sections of the harmonious "party,'," afford, of course; no little amusement to "lookers on." As to the course of the IN higs, Geri:LET, of the NN. Tribune, writing from-W:l.lhington, says that die Whigs are in favor of maintaining our terri torial right beyond the Rocky :Mountains by peace ful means—that is, by means that will neither in volve hostilities nor give just cause for them.— They believe such means. seasonably resorted to, will settle the controversy amicably andjustly.— Among these means they rank Negotiation, Com promise and Arbitration—the last to be resorted to only when the others have failed. They are not disposed to throw any obstacles in the way of the Admin'stra'ion in its management of this im portant and critical matter. They are reluctant, in view of their destitution alike of power and of information as to what is passing in the Executive Councils of either Government, and of what may ,recently have passed between The two, to dictate this Or that course to those whom the People have_; entrusted with the conduct of such affairs, whom they have invested with poWer to acCdecisively. and whom they properly hold responsible for a wise and patriotic exercise of that power. The Whigs, theref6te, he continues, aPpear generally inclined to vote for the Notice to Great Britain, because that measure is one which is totally un. "exceptionable in' itself, perfectly consistent with existing Treaties, and warmly recommended by the Executive, as essential to the settlement of the I controversy and the maintenance of our National Rights. But while they generally concur in these considerations, and are ready to act upon them, they are at the same--time-determined that their action shall be as peaceful and conciliatory in manner as in purpose, and that the notice shall be so givep as to secure thepromptresumption of ne gotiations, and give promise of an auspicious re stilt, Thus modified and guarded, (should the friends of the Admigtration concur,) the editor of the Tribune blievs the notice will pass by an. Overwhelming majority In each HOuse", - 6hould different counsels govern the course of the domi nant party, he cannot predict the result. He adds: "As to Arbitration, I think the ritiire cent mon.opinion here is that it will not be ne cessary—that the moment the two govern ments are fully resolved on a peaceful ad justment, they will find a way to effect it without extraneous help. If our adminis tration thinks differently, it has only to in timate its desire to Arbitrate or to propose Arbitration, to its leading supporters in Congress, have them propose it, and the measure will pass without opposition—at any rate, Without Whig opposition. But if the Administration does not desire such a suggestion from Congress, it will of course be 'voted down there, although the Whigs should support it to a man. We are then placed in a far worse and more dan gerous position than at present, as regards a peaceful settlement. For, if a crisis should occur in which the Government would wish to arbitrate, it will be stopped from or at least greatly embarrassed in so doing by the vote of Congress negativing such a resort: And now the knot may I have become so entangled that the Sword will almost necessarily be called in to cut it." Negotiation nestuned. The National Intelligencer of Wednesday says: "41 rumor was current yesterday, in the Rotun:la and streets, that negotiations had been resumed, and is at this time going on •in this city, between the Secretary of State and the Minister of Great Britain." The same gratifying intelligence reaches us through other channels, and we are happy to be lieve, for once; that Madame Rumor is right in her conjecture. The Washington correspondent of the N. York Tribtul says that tlie correspondence was ie-opened by Mr. Pakenham, with a propo posi tion that the lase(published) letters of each to the other be mutually withdrawn. This propo sal being acceded to, at once re-opened the negotia tion on the basis of Mr. Polk's offer to compro mise on the 49th parallel, which Mr. Pakenham, so grufly rejected when made. It now became in cumbent on Mr: Pakenham, in ca , e his non-ac-, ceptance is persisted in, to make a counter propo .sition, which we infer he has done, but of what character We are , not advised. The Correspond ent of the Tribune continues : , aWetbink Mr. Buchanan, haTing ten dered his resignation of the post of Secre tary of State, was' nominated for the vacant Judgeship, and we heard that his nomina tion was even sent to - the Senate, but with drawn on the reception of Mr: Pakenham's new overture—Mr. B. consenting to roans the State Department,• and make another effort to settle the Oregon difference.— When this negotiation is terminated, wheth er successfully or other wise, we think Mr. B. intends to re.sign, and we somewhat doubt whether anynomination for the Judge ship will meanwhile be made.

The Pre),Money and Oen. lecat. We find the following allusion to the state of "matters at Washington," upon the rubjectof the Presidency, in a late letter of the Washington car respodent of the Baltimortrgun. Without attach ing more importance to the intelligence so 'here given, we are inclined to regard it as significant of the rapid approach of the period when "Old Chip" will he summoned by acclamation to marshal the Whig legions of the land once more to cOrnbat the train bands of I.,ocofocoistn. The correspondent remarks : It is said, and I have no doubt; with good .foundation, that the whigs, availing themselves of the very promising dissen sions now prevalent and-increasing among the democratic leaders here, have organ ized their fortes for the next Presidential campaign and chosen their leaders, and are ready to take the field in 1848. From the character of those who are said to-have participated in the recent movement on this subject, I should judge that the hitherto stern and unyielding. adherence to Mr. Clay on the part of a portion of the whig poli ticians, has given way to the principle of availability. Gcn. Scott has been agreed upon by the whig Senators, members, and others, as the whig candidate for the Pres idency in 1848; and the question of the Vice Presidency has been wisely left open for the present. For this office, there are, as there were in 1844, many and conflict ing claims. Among those who expect or rather are entitled to expect the nomina tion, are Mr. Mangum, Mr. J. M. Clayton, MI: .13arrow, Mr. Fillmore, Mr. Davis, of l'aeSaclmsetts, Sic. But no one has yet ventured the name of the late nominee, Mr. Frelinghuysen. What with the distur bance made by the Tariff question and the Oregon question and the Mexican question, the whigs now have a strong and confident expectation of complete triumph. :That they cannot succeed without detaching some portion of the democratic party from its allegiance is well understood, and the questions above mentioned will, as it is be lieved, especially when"aidefl by the res•to ration of Sub Treasury, and by the travail of the democrats for an available candidate, effect this object. From all that I am able to learn - here I am led to believe that Gen. Cass is the de cided choice of the western and the north western members for the Presidency. So it is not improbable these two gallant gen erals will meet on the political field of bat tle. - - Congress. But little of interest has transpired in either branch of. Congress during the past week. In the House, the Oregoil Question continues to be the Isubject of discussion, although but' little interest attaches to the debate—the speakers generally ad: dressing empty benches. Numberless propositions have been introducrdby different members, and so complete is the confusion'of opinion that it is al, most impossible to predict the result. Occasion ! ally , quite "interesting" debates spring up heteen members of the several factions of the Locofoco party, which developb the condition of the enemy's camp. As a fair example we select the following !passage from a reply of Mr. SANVTLII, of Ohio, to Mr. BArr.r, of Virginia:, both 'good Democrats," on Tuesday last: • "Mr. SAWYER resumed. He meant • nothing personal. He would explain that by and by. He made an assult upon the speech of Mr. BAYTX, and also upon the politics of that gentleman. He said that he had been studying that gentleman's dis trict for some time past. He found the people of it had been Whigs or democrats just as it might suit them. They had elect ed Mr. Henry A. Wise 'when he was for Jackson ; and then again when he had turn ed against Jackson ; and still again after he had turned Tyler man. And they now had elected the present member, who had been a Whig and 'then a Republican, and who, he belived, was now a Whig again. In fact, he thought the people of that Ac comae district did not care much who they elected! Virginia was once a great State, and gave birth to great men. Ile might say the same of Greece and her people. - The present race of Virginians were by no means what they used to be. They might be called the degenerate sons of no ble sires! The gentleman from Virginia, he said, had alluded to Mr. AnAms' course on this' question, and put him down as the leader of the Democratic party in favor of Oregon. For himself, he was proud to follow the lead of the gentleman from Mas sachusetts on this question, He had far rather follow his lead on all questions, than to follow the lead of a gentleman in the other end of the 'Capitol (Mr. CALHOUN) whom the gentleman from Virginia is fol lollowing—for that gentleman had been on ; both sides of every Administration and ev- cry great, questiOn that had been brought forward for many years past. The ,same gentleman had once been for Jackson, and then voted to censure him—to place a black ; censure upon him,, and then refused to re "scind, or eiptin b iTe it! He we'nt for, the whole of Oregon, and More too. believed that England had no right to Canada. We took it from the French, and all the right England had, she ; obtained frOM us, free; independent, Amer ican citizens !":: A Pardon Overruled. A Oedlar some time since was convicted in Cumberland county of selling goods without a li cense, and sentenced to ply a fine of sso,' in de fault of which he was committed to prison. Gov. Shunk having granted a pardon, the case came before. Court, .upon a motion for a discharge, which was overruled by Judge Hepburn,—the Court de ciding that the pardon of the Governor was inef fectual to relieve the prisoner, It was , contended that the Commonwealth had nothineto do with this fine, as one half was to go • re the County and the other half to the informer, and that,: therefore,' the Governor could not remit the•fine as the infor mer and the county he'd obtained a vested interest.

'lhe Magnetic Telegraph Has not yet been completed between Phi'add phia and N. York. The difficulty arises front an linability hitherto to devise means to conduct the electric fluid-across the North River. The alliui ty of this fluid to earth and water prevents its transmission across the river by laying the wives through the water or undci_ the bcd_oL_the_river, unless some more perfect method of insulation be discovered., A gentle "hint" upon this point is thus thrown-out Co scientific men 1y the President of the company; Mr. KENDAL: "We stop for the present at Newark, N. :Tett scy, ten miles from New York, not having suc ceeded itl cfossing the river. Such is the annity of the subtle power we employ to earth and water that it is difficult to make it pass any distance through either by any guards which science knows how to place around it.. Keep it in the air and it will follow your wire around the globe ; but bring, it in c6ntact with earth or water, and it es capes as if seeking its home in the, caverns.of earth,. and the coral depths •of the ocean. ' We must ask science to teach us how we may be able to stretch wires in safety, aloft in the air and a mile in length, or we must beg commerce to per mit us to raise pillars beside her path, oh which to erect a tiny bridge for our invisible messengers. We cannot try experiments for projectors; but he who can and will take us across the North River - without eiectingsuPports in the river itself, and 'in such a manner as shall promise durability, will entitle himself to a liberal compensation." - Slavery lu A I alcurt An important movement has been made in the: Legislature of Alabama, bearing upon the subject .. : ( of slavery. A special committee has reported a bill prohibiting, under severe penalties, the intro duction of slaves by traders or non-residents. The committee complain that the slave population is hecoming too numerous for the interest and secu rity of the efiizens of the State; and that non-resi i dent planters send their slaves into it, and with- draw . the proceeds of their lalsor to be expended in other States. They further express the fear that, as popular opinion is settling itself against the continuation of slavery' in Kentucky, Virginia and other States, they may be overrun with this class of opulation. ' Pnl al Duel. A Duel was fought at Bladensburg, Md. on Mon. day last, which resulted in - the murder of one of the parties upon the first fire. The combatants were Thomas Jones and Daniel Johnson, the for mer a lawyer, and the latter .a physician, both of Elizabeth city, N. C. The difficulty arose out of some alleged insult from the latter to the wife of the former. The murdered individual was the challenged party.

DREADFUL EFFECTS OF MILLERIS3L-A. strong feeling seems lobe gathering. against the advocates of Millerisin, and is express ed in very decided terms, in many direc tions, in consequence of the madness Nvhiell it brings upon many who embrace its doe trines.

NEI SANCE.—The grand Jury 'of New York, has presented the vagrant department of the Penitentiary at Blackwell's Island as a nui sance. Two' hundred persons are con tined in • two rooms, which swarmed so with vermin that the Grand Jury were warned not to enter. A great pumber of the inmates are idiots, and the remainder lame or diseased. Part ,of the jury visited the interior of the building, and found there were neither beds nor straw nor was there even room on the floor for all these wretched people to lie down at the same time. The keeper informed , the jury that there frequently 250 persons confined in these two roems, there being no other place to put them in, and in consequence of this state of things it is almost impossible to keep them from from quarreling and fight ing. The services of Miss Dix are requi red in that quarter. Notwithstanding tlcat Sitien the dreadful ac-. cident in the mines at Carbondale, 'caused by the falling in of the roof, no effort has . been.spared, no trace has as vet been 'dis covered of the fifteen men whp are entomb ed beneath the fallen muss. Two hundred men halt been at work every lutr since. the 'accident occurred, but they have not yet succeeded in reaching the bodies of tbose - who are known to be in the mine, and. who, it is feared, have now perished with fatnine, if they were not immediatety kill-. ed.—.ilex.

Now, J'an.27, 18451 • To the Honorable the Judgesifihe Cour, of Quarter &Mons of Xdams:County. THE Grand Jury for .the January Ses sion, 1846, beg leave to offer the following Report : That it is with feelings of unalloyed pride, gratification and pleasure they are enabled to state, that while our.sister coun ties are rejoicing over their prosperity and lhappiness, and the gradual decrease of vice and immorality in their respective commu nities, we, of little Adams, can be still, more grateful in being able to say, that in l our population, numbering some twenty- , five thousand souls, not a single case has been presented before the present Grand Inquest of the County of a criminal char acter—that our County Jail is tenantless, not having a solitary prisoner to answer to the calls of Justice—that not even a case of assault and battery has been presented to the present Grand Jury ! Such a state of affairs is surely a cause of gratula tion to every moral and peace loving citi zen in our beloved county. The philan thropist and the Christian can warm his heart and cheer his soul with the reflec tions, that outrage, debauchery, drunken ness, quarrelling and every other crime, constituting vice and immorality, are taking their flight from amongst us, and that or der, usefulnes, and every kindly feeling of social order ar taking their places. The Grand ury beg leave further to state, that they have visited the County Prison and that every thing about the es tablishment is in complete and ample order, and that the and clearness every where displayed throughout the buildings and yard, reflects much credit on the Sher iff and his family. They- would also state that, having vis ited the Alms Nouse and Hospital, they find everylhing in that departnient to be in good order, and the care and attention dis played upon 'the old and destitute poor now there, shows that the present stewart (Mr. Cobean) is ahumane and kind man. In addition to these facts, the Grand Ju ry would also state, that the finances of our coun:y are in the most flourishing con dition. Not one dollar of debt now rests' on the shoulders of the citizens of our i County as a .County.. Our .State taxes have been most promptly met by the ac ' tion of our energetic Board of County CommiSsioners and our equally prompt tax-paying citizens—and the Commission ers now hold in their posses on the re ' ceipt in full from the State Treasurer of all taxes against the County. Our county matters are also in the same desirable con dition. No debt resting upon her, and without any extraordinary occasion of ex-; penditure, she will be enabled to meet the annual expenses for the present year, by the least possible per centage (20 cent° on the $100) on the Assessors valuation.— These facts are such, that we deem it our duty (and a pleasant one) as the Grand Inquest of the County, to make public, 'through a report to the Court and the peo pie, from our body, and trust that the inter est which all must feel in such •a' state of our affairs, will excuse this unusual course at,present adopted by the Grand Jury. The Grand Jury having no other subject to present to your honors, respectfully ask to be discharged. .
