Ms Fmesds,—One Of-The Principal Charges ...
Ms Fmesds , —One of-the principal charges that _BUor enemies invariably make _against Chartists and _( CCbarfom is , that theleaders have never recommended _ssny defined or practical scheme for the _accomplishnrment of their object "We are told to receive and (© consider all the mad projects of oar superiors with _ifljteference , respect , _ani even awe ; and we are called ' " distobere" _^ " obstructors" if we dare too _scruit pubusslj to canvass their motives , or even their 1 auxins of accomplishing their end . One refined
iC htutist starts up , on the announcement of some _s _tisionary scheme , and exclaims : " Lo I here ' s astani jard _forpractical Chartism to rally ronnd ! and yet the 3 j _^ obstructives refuse their co-operation . " Another - artfu l schemer offers another gilded bait to catch the i _onwaiy andunsnspicions , and behold another _"indei pendent Chartist" rises and says : " Here , now , is a _i rallying point ; here now is an opportunity afforded : _toftehonestportionoftheCJhartiststoridrhemselveg i of the dangerous power of their interested leaders , sad do something for themselves . "
But , notwithstanding all the fascinating allure ments , there has been a sufficient amount of steadiness , deliberation , and thought in our ranks to con-Tinceusthatnotone single scheme , promising benefit to the "Working classes , has heen proposed for any ether purpose than that of enlisting them in the service of some political quack , to be used for party purposes . This charge of "impracticability" is the principal , nay , I believe , now the only remaining _fragment of the long catalogue of sins with which we were formerly charged . The charges of " monopoly , "
" unjustappropriation , " " spoliation / ' "destruction of life and property , " " desire for scramble , " " obstruction , " and " physical force , " have all been answered , refuted , and destroyed . And now the " educated and refined , " the "philosophical and thoughtful , " of our own party : that is , the lazy and the rascally , the plotting and the scheming—the " gents" that are too proud to work , and too poor to lire without labour , " havejoined with the more open foe ; and all « ther sustainable ground of charge being cut from raider their feet , they have taken their stand upon— "hnpracticabuitv . "
I have always shown you that a party without any visible power must ever be looked npon as " impracticable . " In 1835 Mr . O'Connell called us "the Lnpracticables ; " and at that time I refuted the charge , very successfull y shewing that those who chargeduswithbeing "impracticables" were the very party who prevented us from taking a " practical " step , and who never considered us in the right courso except when we allowed ourselves to be bamboozled by some "practical" juggler . Oar great straggle for the last ten years has been to achieve representation for the working classes ; and the charge against ns has been that we looked for what we could not accomplish , and obstinatel y refused the proffered
instalment of our rights . Now this charge also I deny . If welookforfnlL free , and fair representation in the House of Commons , the abolition of Church Bates the reform of Municipal Corporations , the extension of Education , the remission of taxation , the reduction of the National Debt , the abolition of slavery , and the like , are none of them instalments of our debt . The debt due to ns is one of principle : and the instalments offered in pounds , shillings , and pence , are merely so much paid to the monied classes of a debt for which they have no just claim . "What they mean by an " instalment / ' is a saving to themselves in the shape of remission of taxes ; or reduction in the price of luxuries .
We contend that the Hoiise of Commons , as it should represent the whole people , should be chosen by the whole people ; and we are ready to take an instalment of representation , not in discharge of our fall claim but in order that we maybe thereby enabled to enforce the whole demand . Thus I refute the chftigeof ' hnpracticabiUty / 'Itlimkfully : and now let us see whether the " educated , refined , and scientific" will join with ns practical Chartists , in aiding Buncombe to secure for us an instalment of our own principle . "When I first offered myself for the _reprc gestation of the county of Cork , I found very great
difficulty in persuading many very intelligent persons that less than a majority of the whole House could cany any question . It took me many months of ipeeehing and writing to prove that the forty-two Repeal members could , if they were really honest , smash and break up every Government that refused squiescence to their measures . The Irish party liaving turned tail , and sold their country , proved not only disastrous to Ireland , but to England as well : and for this reason—because all faith was lost in the capability of so large a body as forty-two to do _anything .
God forbid , however , that we should draw any inference from those Tedoubtable patriots and their leader , who have sold their country for places , titles , and emolument . Wearenettobedisheartcnedbythat circumstance ; for I hope and trust that the sound minds of Englishmen will never allow themselves to be juggled out of their wits , as Irishmen have been You will see , then , the great difficulty of persuading the "Working Classes of _theralueof so small a fraction of representation as twenty members of Parliament _vould furnish ; and , but for the better machinery Bowcvcrvwherein operation , Ishonld despond myself ,
and have but little faith in the _success of our present practical movement . Seeing , however , the manner in which the London Registration Committee , the Manchester Committee , and the Birmingham Committee worked last year , no doubt remains upon my mind of the ultimate success of our plan . Lthink it very likely that Mr . Dnneombe , if he should not snereed in repealing the rate-paring clauses in iheReform BUI , will , at allevents , have an astounding minority . In fact , I cannot bring my mind to the conclusion that
the motion will be lost : and I'll tell you why . Ruslell and the Whigs must have profited by the lesson TOtanghtihem in 1841 ; and to inculcate that lesson was my principal object in desiring to see an overwhelming Tory majority resulting from the Whig Reform franchise , after an existence of nearly ten years , during the whole of which time the Tories _* ere annually augmenting their forces , because pro * perry was the standard of franchise , and they pos-Kssed a majority of the property of the country .
We taught Russell and the Whigs the wholesome lesson , that npon a real extension of the Suffrage alone _ftey must henceforth depend . Then the Free Traders ttniL I think , one and alL vote for Duncombe ' s motion , because it will be a forwarding of the plan upon which they rely for the accomplishment of their own object : and if they should refuse to Tote for Duncombe , it will tend to increase that popular disgust which already exists against them . We could then charge them with a desire to pick and select party tools for the electoral body , instead of facilitating ike means of acquiring the franchise . I also think that Mr . O'Connell and his party must either TotefbrMr . Duncombe ' s motion , or forfeit all claim
to the confidence of the Irish Trades . Then Young _England , and a number of Tories who represent English Boroughs , if they arc not united on the _question , we shall have the benefit of their disunion . Add to all these chances in our favour , the certainty that Sir Robert T _& l must dissolve _tlie Parliament next V _«» r ; and by that time the " bull-frogs" will have felt the effect of Ms tariff , which wifl , I assure you , _p * atc a considerable schism . Independently of the _^ portance that Mr . Dnneombe attaches to the _rc-^ _al of the rate-paying clauses , in his admirable letter 10 Briny , I know it is his opinion that a wise
_presentation of the Trades in London would , _espe-** % at the present time , lead to the most important tad beneficial results . In fact , I have no hesitation _^ _ji ng ( although I am by no means authorised to _* _») that Mr . Dnneombe , if solicited , would open * Trades' Conference himself , with a clear , comprer _^ _'fte , and lucid exposition of his views on all _subj f _* connected with the great movement of the _£ _** , and the Working Chases generally .

TO THE FUSTIAN JACKETS , BLISTERED HANDS , AND TJNSHORN CHINS . Mt . Beab . FniESDs , —I have been a close prisoner for now nearly a month , suffering from inflammation in one of my eyes ; and , what is worse , from the inability to take exercise . However , I have not been idle ; for the leisure has enabled me to devote more time to my reply to the tract of Messrs . Chambers ; while the reflection that if I had been a working man I should have been unable to earn my bread , has brought the mournful situation of the invalided operative more sensitively before me . I have now completed the Dialogue . I trust you will find it not the less instructive , if you think it amusing . The only difference that you will perceive between the published work and the advertisement of last week announcing its appearance , is , that it contains fifty-six pages
instead of forty-eight ; and anxious that every working man should preserve it entire and unsoiled , I have ordered it to be covered with a stout wrapper : so that I think each purchaser will have the value of hisfourpence . The Dialogue having run to a greater length than I had originally intended , the conclusion would occupy too much space in this week's St * r _,-therefore I am obliged to divide it into two parts . The conclusion shall appear in next Saturday ' s Star . I cannot , while on the subject , refrain from publishing the following admirable letter , which appeared in the Glasgow Examiner of the 28 th of December . It bears fully , and very cleverly , on the subject of the Dialogue ; while it has the further advantage of coming from a working man . I remain , yonr faithful servant , _Feargus O'Coxxor .
THAMES UHIOSS . To the Editor of the Glasgow Examiner . Sib , —The public mind being greatly excited at the present time with Trades Unions , I late a desire to express , through the medium of your valuable paper , the views which I bold on the subject , in order that the trades may arrive at a knowledge of the least objectionable system of protecting labour . It must be apparent to all thinking men , that unless the whole trades of Great Britain form themselves into a great national union for the protection of labour , the condition of the working classes will daily become worse .
We see the masters bandied together for the protection Of Capital— -CYery body Of Speculators are united for their respective interests , _while labour alone is unprotected , and win be until such time as the toiling masses do their own work . Tf e see , through the medium of the public press , that all parties are preparing for the next session of Parliament . The bankers , the cotton lords , the sugar lords , the tea merchants , and malt manufacturers , are all at work for 'themselves , while the working classes seem to have no interest to protect , as they stand still in an isolated state , or , what is just as bad , only united in sections or isolated trades .
The experience of the past proves to a demonstration that no isolated trade has yet been able to protect itself from the encroachments of capital on their rights . The history of Trades Unions has been a continued struggle between capital and labour , and in nine cases out of ten capital has been triumphant . Xet us only take a glance at the results from _tfte various strikes which have taken place in all the great manufacturing districts . "What benefit did the Cotton-spinners derive from the great strike a few weeks back ! Although out for about nine months , labourers were obliged to yield to the superior power of capital . Similar results flowed from the Enginecrs ' eight months _' strike , although £ 8 , 000 was expended ; and only last summer 30 , 000 Coal Miners , with an association of nearly 100 , 000 strong at their back , were compelled also to bow to capital .
True , certain trades have been successful for a time . When there was an extra demand for labour , employers hare been compelled to concede 5 or 10 per cent , of an advance ; but as soon as a depression in business came upon them , then 25 or 30 per cent , of a reduction was the consequence . Now , sir , it is agreed that thero is a cause for everything , and , of- course , there roust be one for this also ; _andthequeryisywhatisit that enables capital to control labour 5 In my opinion the power which the employers possess is the result of a variety of causes , oi which the following are the principal : — 1 st The employer has political power , while the
labourer has none . 2 d . They have the capital of the ceuntry in their hands —the labourer wants it , 3 d . The employers are united , the labourers isolated . Certain parties deny that the capitalist derives any power over labour through political power being in their hands . But I would just ask , _ivoula the Dorchester _labourers or the Glasgow cotton-spinners have been transported , if the employed had equal political power with the employer J Or would the hundred of thousands who pefitionedthe legislature last summer for a reduction in the hours of labour in factories have been disregarded , While the petitions of the employers were attended to , if those _ts 1 k > compose the _legislature had to appear before the working men at an election to solicit their votes %
_~ So , sir . Would they treat labour as they have done ? Through the political power of the country being in the hands of the higher and middle classes—who of course are the employers—it gives them a power which no party , whether employer or employed , ought to possess ; through it they become the judges in our courts of law , and in the highest courts compose the jury ; so that if disputes arise which must be settled by law , labour stands the crouching slave to capital . With regard to capital conferring a power in the employer to control labour , there can be no doubt in the mind of any man . Tfhenerer a strike takes place in any particular trade , the stock in the hand of the employer becomes enhanced in value ; the supply being stopped , the amount of that commodity decreases , and of course the price increases . For example , the
coal-miners in England struck work ; immediately the price of coal was doubled in the London market ; by the rime the stock was sold off the men were hungered out , having nothing to fall back npon ; and consequently the labourer was the loser , while the employer was a gainer , having three times the amount of profit Tfhen the men were idle that they had while they were at work . If the men applied for parochial aid , the matter was the poorlaw guardian ; and if they went to beg , they were seized on by the police , and broug ht before the master in the shape of a magistrate . That the employer derives a power from being united , we have a good example in the late struggle between Mr , King , of Glasgow , and his hand . loom weavers . "When his men struck for an advance of wages , the other employers ib the same line of business turned out all their men in order to stop the supplies ; the consequence of which was , that King ' s men were _obuged to yield . This , sir , I consider
sufficient to prove that the power of capital is supreme , so long as the various trades are in an isolated state—without capital and legislative pewer . Another query arises —is there no remedy ! Now , sir , I am fully of opinion that there is yet much in the power of the working clasies to ameliorate their own condition . In order to secure protection for labour , or a fair day ' s wage for a fair day's work , the labourers must have an equal share of the political power of th _« country with the other classes of the community . Secondly , they must be united in a national capacity , not as « t present , in single trades ; the whole trades of great Britain mart be consolidated , and they must be in the possession of capital . The working classes have the means at their command : if they make union , energy , and determination their motto , they are sure to be crowned with success _. Tours respectfully , A _Wobkikg 1 £ a » .

I think the Act you allude to stated that " no Soeietg should have the privilege of placing its funds with the ComL missioners of Savings Banks unless they submitted their rules to Mr . Tidd Pratt .

Spain. The Butcher Nirviubz.—In The Abse...
SPAIN . The Butcher _NiRViUBZ . —In the absence of any news of importance from Spain , we give the following portrait of the butcher Narvaez drawn ly the ( anything hut democratic ) correspondent of the Times . This portrait may be interesting hereafter , when justice shall have had her own on the person of this monster : — Nabvaki is by no means an effective or an impressive speaker . IDs style of delivery is harsh , abrupt , and exceedingly brusque . His language is by no means correct , and his strong Andalusian accentin his mouth of rather a vulgar kind—his frequent repetitions of the same words two or three times in the same sentence , render it quite evident that ,
however he may be more or less distinguished when heading a charge of cavalry , he " was never intended to be a popular orator . Neither has nature been too lavish of her physical gifts to the President of the Council of Ministers . He is under the middle size , rather stout than otherwise , and awkwardly put together . His countenance his plain , and extremely Forbidding ; and his downcast eyes have an angry and scowling expression ;' His thick moustachios , of a blonde colour , contrast oddly with the well-combed , well-oiled , and somewhat ample black wig with which his head is rather coquettishly covered ; and though he dresses in a smart style , and his clothes are put on with all the fastidious neatness of a vieux gar _^ on , studs , gloves and all . unexceptionable , yet Narvacz
presents neither a _dignifisd nor a graceful appearance . His tone of voice is harsh , and his gestures have norelation to what artists call the line of beauty , but are what elocution masters would denominate angular . The movements of his arm would lead one to supposethat he was practising the sword exercise , and are principally in the cut-and-thrust style of delivery . As Narvaez is not blessed with the faculty of utteringvery agreeable things in public , you will easily belieye that the pergonal disadvantages he labours under , and which are , of course , no fault of his , do not much tend to render him a favourite as a popular speaker . The inveterate habit Narvaez has of introducing into his rather curious harangues the name of the Deity , and in a manner that is only
suited to the barrack-yard , the guard-room , or the aftcrnoonstable parade , is an additional characteristic , of by no means an agreeable kind , in his style of oratory . Such is not the custom even of Spanish gentlemen ; and it is evident that so gentlemanlike , and no doubt so fastidious , a person as Martine 2 de la Rosa , who generally sits by him , must leel pained , in common with every one of any delicacy oi mind , at such displays . Narvaez , too , contrives to turn every subject , no matter what , in a military point of view . The beginning , middle , and close of his speeches , if such they can be called , might be stereotyped . The pistol and the sabre of the dragoon are said to form prominent and permanent features in them , no matter what , or how different from military niatT ters , the object under consideration mav be .
Reported Escape of Zurbano . —The correspondent of the Times writes as follows ;—I am assured that accounts have been received here this day oi the safe arrival in Portugal of General Zurbano . He was escorted to the frontier by strong parties of contrabandistas , who relieved each other alternately from post to post ; and who faithfully performed their engagement to conduct him safe out of the Spanish territory , notwithstanding the immense reward they knew they were sure of if they had betrayed him to the government . Private letters from the Basque
provinces state that the Carlists are beginning to stir in that part of Spain ; and that they are _co-ope-i rated with By the refugees in France . I should not be surprised if such were the case . The consciousness that all hope is hat for marrying the Queen tq the Prince of the Asturias , and the abolition of the Basque _fucrosm the new Constitution , would be a sufficient motive for them to attempt something like a rising . I doubt , however , whether any such event is likely during the present or the next month . When the fine weather sets in it may be another
question . Arrests at _Fiqueras . —The Phare of Bayonne states , from Catalonia , that on the 30 th ult . fourteen persons were arrested at Figueras , on a charge of having taken part in the plot , at the head of which was General Amettler .
PORTUGAL . _Lisbo 5 , Dec . 31 . —The Cortes will be opened on the 2 nd of January . Meanwhile Costa Cabral has made a new batch of eight peers , of which he himself is one , the others being—1 . His colleague of Foreign Anhirs _, Gomez de Castro ; 2 . Pimentel Freire ; 3 . F . Caldeira Pinto Leitao ; 4 . Don Carlos de Masearenhas ( Commander of the Municipal Guard and brother to the Marquis de Fronteira ); 6 . Don Manuel de Portugal ; 6 . Baron da Vargem ; and 7 . Count Sabugal . The Cortes will be opened by commission , the Queen being too far advanced _inher pregnancy to be able to attend on the occasion . The vounsr royal cub is daily expected . ' GREECE .
Athens , Dxc . 22 . —The do-nothing legislature is yet in statu quo . The President has not yet been elected . From every province the most deplorable accounts continue to be received of offences against life and property , and of the shameful neglect and apathy of the public authorities . At Missolongln the inhabitants cannot venture beyond the walls of their town , except in armed bodies numerous enough to check the audacity of the brigands that are constantly prowling in the neighbourhood . In the Gull of Corinth it is unsafe for vessels to navigate , unless well armed . Not many days ago an Ionian paranga ,
from Patras , having 2 , 000 dollars on board belonging to a Mr . Ingato , a British merchant of that town , being obliged by stress of weather to put into the port of Galaxidi , was assailed in the night time by a part / from the shore , and with difficulty beat off the brigands , after a short light , in which three of the crew were wounded—one of thun severely . Notwithstanding several shots were ox-hanged , no one from the shore came to their _assistance ; and , although on the next morning they were able to identify one of the robbers , who actually belonged to the town-guard , the _magistrates would not arrest him .

rose and replied as follows : — " I return to you , sir , and to my fellow citizens , whose organ you are , my unfeigned thanks for this manifestation of the popular regard and confidence , and for the congratulations which you have been pleased to express to me , upon the termination and result of the late political contest . I am fully sensible that these congratulations are not , and cannot be , personal to myself . It is the eminent success of our common principles which lias spread such general joy over the land . The political struggle through which the country has just passed has Been deeply exciting . Extraordinary causes have existed to make it so . It has terminated—it is now over- _^ -and I sincerely hope and believe , has been decided by the sober and settled judgment of the American people . In exchanging mutual congratulations
with each other upon the result of the late election , the Democratic party should , remember , in calmly reviewing the contest , that the portion of fellow citizens who have differed with us in opinion have equal rights with ourselves ; that minorities as well as majorities are . _rehtitled to the full and free exercise of their opinions and judgments ; and that the rights of all , " whether of minorities or majorities , as such arc entitled : to equal respect and regard . In rejoicing , therefore , over the success of the Democratic party , and of their principles , in the late election , it should be' in no spirit of exultation over the defeat of our opponents ; but it should be because , ns we honestly believe , our principles and policy are better calculated
than theirs to promote ! . the true interests ot the eountry . In the position in which I have been placed , by the voluntary and unsought suffrages of my fellow citiienB , it will become ' my duty , as it will be my pleasure , faithfully and trulyito represent , in the executive department of the Government , the principles and policy of the great party of the country who have elevated nie to it ; but , at the same time , it is proper that I should declare that I shall not regard myself as the representative of a party only , but of the whole feo ple of the United States ; and I trust that the uture policy of the Government may be such as to secure the happiness and prosperity Of allj without distinction of party . "
Occupation of the Oregon _Territory— Abolition Riotb . —Liverpool , Jan 8 . —We have received this afternoon , by the New York packet ship ; St . Patrick , Captain Seymour , _^ papers from that city to the 16 th Dec . inclusive . The chief feature of the intelligence in the papers is the introduction into the House of Representatives of a bill for the extension of the jurisdiction of the United States over the territory of the Oregon . Its reception was not accomplished without a division upon the motion to suspend the rules , the result of which was—ayes , 120 , noes , 63 : being a majority of seventy-six in its favour . The bill was subsequently read a first and second time , and referred to the Committee on Territories . It is evident , therefore , that the measure will receive the final sanction of the House . The
reception it will encounter in the Senate will probably be of an entirely opposite nature . The bill _Jntro * - duccd by Mr . Duncan , to establish a uniform day for the appointment of presidental electors , had passed the House of Representatives . The'arrival brings accounts of a dreadful conflict between a party of Kentucky shareholders and Ohio Abolitionists . It appears that negro slaves from Kentucky are constantly passing to Canada through the State of Ohio , facilities for such escapes , it is said by some being established throughout the latter State by the Abolitionists . On the 9 th ult . a party of "negro hunters" from Kentucky , hearing that runaway slaves were secreted in the houses of Robert Miller and Absalom King , two Abolitionists , residing in Brown ' s County , Ohio , r . ear the town of
Georgetown , proceeded to the residence ol the lormer and discovered two of the slaves , who attempted to escape ; and while Miller was in the act of aiding their escape he was knocked down and stabbed repeatedly by the incensed ' Kentuckians . He lingered but a few moments and died . The two slaves were then bound , when they proceeded to the house of King , where they were met by four or five armed men , who declared their determination to resist any search of the house . Both parties being well armed , a most horrible conflict ensued . A son of Colonel Towers was killed immediately . King , while reloading some of the fire-arms in the house , was shot by some one through the window in the back part of
the house , and was not expected to survive . The sheriff and Ins posse arrived and checked the riot , and the ringleaders of each party were arrested . But another band of Kontuoldans so & n arrived and commenced another scene of bloodshed . One of the slaves was hung without ceremony for resisting a brother of Colonel Towers , who had captured him . The houses of Miller and King were bnmt to the ground , with all their contents . They then went to the house of Mv _, Alexander Gilliland , tore him away from his family , and beat him until his lite was despaired of . The latest accounts add that the Kentuckians were increasing in numbers , and the whole neighbourhood was up in arms . The sheriff was exerting himself to suppress the riot .
WEST INDIA MAIL—NEWS FROM MEXICO . Southampton , Sunday . — The Royal Mail Company ' s steam-ship Forth , Lieut . Chapman , commander , arrived this morning at half-past nine o ' clock . from the West Indies , bringing the usual mails . The Forth brings intelligence from Mexico to the 1 st of December . It confirms , that previously sent by way of New York , and published in the papers of that city . We have how additional particulars , although the revolution had not taken any particular tone _. General Paredes had taken up his quarters at Lavgos . He is described as about fifty years of age , of determined valour , and very popular in all parts of the country , notwithstanding it is generally admitted he it not likely to hold the reins of government for a long period . He has already lowered the import
and export duties to fifty per cent ., in those states on the western coast which have pronounced in his favour . He has also taken off the contributions for the impending war with Texas—a measure that had given great satisfaction . General Paredes ' army consists of about 2 , 500 men , only 1 , 000 of which are old soldiers , the rest being raw recruits , many of irhcm enlisted as volunteers . He has only five pieces of cannon , and those are of small calibre . Santa Anna ' s troops , on the contrary , consist of about 10 , 000 men , principally infantry , and a small proportion of cavalry , and 30 pieces of ordnance . It is , however , much doubted whether the troops will remain firm to him , especially on going into action , although he had taken the precaution of making them swear allegiance .
Otherwise , with this overwhelming force , it is likely that Santa Anna will succeed in defeating General Paredes . He marched with _hia troops towards Largos just before the Forth sailed , and the report prevalent there was that General Paredes , hearing of his approach , had made a retrograde movement . It was merely a report , and no positive dependence can be placed on it . The state of Guanaxuato had not declared for either , party . It is a very important one , in comparison to the others , and the fate of Santa Anna will much depend upon its declaration for or against the revolution . It is stated on good authority that Santa Anna caiiplace no great faith in either his Boldiers or officers . Some of the latter , during the march towards Largos , had spoken freely , and much more so than was agreeable to his ears . He had them immediately put under arrest , to the number of eleven , and afterwards shot with very little ceremony . There was a slight commotion , or rather outbreak , at
Vera Cruz , a few days previously to the departure oi the Forth , hut the Commandant-General , Quixano , took energetic and immediate steps to suppress it . Otherwise the place was quiet , and so was Tampico . This revolution may be considered as thomost popular that has ever broken out in Mexico . The whole country , to a yoico , is in favour of it , and in ease of failure on the part of Santa Anna , in his attack on General Paredes , an important change will take place . Santa Anna is admitted to be a clever man ; but his character is so well known that he is detested by the whole nation . General Paredes is known to bo » bravo soldier , honest , and likely to be of immense benefit to his country , in case of success ; but there is a Lucas Aleman , in Mexico , the people wish to see President , and it is not at all improbable'that , should the revolution succeed , he will be elected . It is understood that General Paredes has no great wish for the honour , his object being , in this movement , to place his country on a better footing . LATER FROM MEXICO .
Progress or inn _Rbvolutin " , —{ From the Am York fiun , Dumber _\§ lh , 184 / , _—Ihtsrestdto akd Important _IsTKUiair acE . —The rumouva of further revolts against the present Government , to which we alluded on Saturday , arc fully confirmed . By the southern mail of Saturday afternoon , we received letters and papers from Vera Cruz , of date 21 st ult ., being one day later . We give our correspondent' s letter , via .: —Vera Crus , Nov . 21 st , 1844 . —Since mine of yesterday morning , wo have received the most astounding intelligence , more than confirming the reports frora the interior then detailed . Couriers were arriving here yesterday evening and last night , announcing revolt after revolt . Seven departments or states have declared against Santa Anna , and he is reported to have taken flight for this city , on his way to the Island of Cuba , where he will probably sees a temporary asylum . I am not without hope that we may be able now to restore the constitution of 1824 , overthrowing the present union of Church and State
Spain. The Butcher Nirviubz.—In The Abse...
( which is sucking our life blood ) , and obtain a Government more like that under which you of the north repose in happiness and peace . God grant that we may be successful .. The states now against Santa Anna , are : —Guanaxuata , Xalisco ( or Guadalaxara _) , San Louis Potosi , Zacetccas , Durango , Quoretaro , and Mechoacan , being the seven principal states of Central Mexico . The states of Mexico and Vera Cruz , garrisoned as they are by Santa Anna ' s favourite troops ( whom he has paid well , and taken good care of , each soldier being provided with a mistress ) , have declared against the revolution . We have yet to hear from the south , north , and northwest . With valiant and ' patriotic Yucatan , Tobasco , and Chiapas in the south ; Chihuahua , Sonora , and Sinaloa , New
Mexico , Santa Fe , and _Calliforniafin the north and northwest , the revolution will be complete . I do not think thero is a doubtful state among them . While on his way to Xaliaco , to put down Paredes , intending to march through the city of Mexico , Santa Anna received the accounts from the interior , and with it the report that the army of the Revolution numbered thirty thousand men . This intelligence , with signs of discontent greeting him in every direction , _probably caused Ms retreat . The Committee of Investigation in Congress , to which was referred the charge against him for embezzling five millions of dollars
from the public treasury , have not yet reported . Iii anticipation of that report , he had resolved upon testing the strength of his opponents , discharging Gen . Arista from the command of the northern division of the army , threatening Paredes with a court martial , and courting their opposition with the hope of gaining new laurels in a war of extermination against all who opposed him . Returning to Mexico as a conqueror , he expected to be able to bring Congress into his views . Should the fates be against him , he will retire to Spain , or perhaps to England ; where ho has invested five ob six millions of dollars , upon which he can live comfortably for the rest of his days .
J . HE Nm Orleans Jeffmonim says : "A private letter received in this city by the schooner Water Witch , states that it is the general opinion in that city , that Santa Anna ' s administration was about to be overthrown . More than thirty thousand of the citizens were under anus , and the gates of the city would be closed against him in case he should Beek refuge there in his failing fortune . " Massacres by the _Lvdians . —Our papers from the interior by this arrival ( schooner Water Witch at New Orleans 5 th inst , from Vera Cruz ) are several days later , We have full files and letters from Mexico , Oavaca , Zacetaeas , San Louis Potosi , Santa Anna , Menterey , Durango , Sonora , Tobasco , Chiapas , and other places in the interior . Alliances between the several Indian tribes and the government of
Texas , arc producing results which will make the Mexicans deplore their last attempt to invade Texas . The latter has found powerful allies in the fomiidable Indian tribesinhabitingthemountains and deserts of Mexico . Many of the tribes are said to be under the command of white officers , and display all the skill of European warfare . In Chihuahua , on the 15 th of October , a band of the Camanehe Indians , to the number of about 500 , made an attack on the town , and after carrying off considerable booty , retired . These Indians were all well armed and mounted on horses . Natives from the department of Tamaulipas , states that a large body of Indians had commenced their attacks . Letters from Mier also give accounts of attacks of the Indians in that
neighbourhood . A body of men , eighty-three in number , went out to meet the In dians , but being driven back , they retired to a house for safety . This the Indians immediately surrounded and set fire to , and then as fast as the Mexicans came out , killed them . About fifty were burned to death , and the rest within killed , or very badly wounded . The " editor of El Gejen , from which ' we take the above , says : —It is believed , and with good reason too , from the new system with which these Indians fight and manoeuvre , that they are accompanied by some Texians . At Guadalaxara the store of a Mexican , named Lana , was broken into and twenty-one thousand dollars in specie , and bars of silver and gold , taken off by the Indians . Accounts from Linares state that an attack wa ' s also made in that neighbourhood . The Gaecta , dd G ' ooterno says : —These Indians were never known to act with so
much decision before , and it is belieued they are accompanied either with Mexican rebels , or Texians . The city of Victoria , in the department of Durango , has been attacked by large bands of Indians from the neighbouring mountains . At the approach of the Indians , who were upwards of 3 , 000 in number , parts of the inhabitants fled to the prison , others to the larger buildings , while upwards of five hundred women and children , unable to escape , were killed in cold blood , A large number were also wounded . The Indians , after pillaging the city , and carrying oft all the horses and mules , retired to the Cordilleras . These are only a few of the Indian massacres perpetrated between the 10 th of October and 5 th of November . Over a thousand persons are believed to _haye been murdered , burned , or scalped between the dates named .
NEW ZEALAND . ( Estmetfrom a Utter dated _Aueldawl , June 2 _J , 18 U . J Our manner of life here is much the same as tikt described in the back-woods of America , simple and independent , except that , being near a seaport , we have perhaps more comforts . In this mild- climate we have hut few wants ; we feel neither the extreme of heat nor cold ; in this part of New Zealand the thermometer in the shade seldom rises higher than 75 degrees , and snow never falls . The house in which we now are is a vegetable production ; the framework of wood , covered with a kind of rush , which is very plentiful ; the whole is constructed without a nail ( except the doors ) , being tied together with the native flax ; here they are very comfortable ,
although in England you would not much like them . The general features of the country arc stern and mountainous , with an abundance of rivers , creeks , and lakes ; volcanic action is everywhere visible ; in this neighbourhood there are about thirty extinct volcanoes , which gave a sombre character to all the views . Towards the middle of the island there are several in activity . Springs appear to be abundant , as well as minerals of various descriptions . Slight earthquakes are said to be common . Although the climate is wet and windy , especially in winter , we have a far greater proportion of sunshine than in England ; it appears to be on this account that many of the English fruits do not appear to flourish , here . Society in these colonies
is very different from that in England . Of the gentler , fairer part of the creation , I cannot say much , as , in sooth , I have not mixed much in their society ; suffice it to say , that for the most part they are not pretty . The progress of a young colony presents an interesting spectacle . To the first emigrants affairs wear a dreary aspect ; no house to receive them after a long voyage ; no shelter but a tent ; no bed but the ground , or plenty of green fern , whieh is no bad substitute . They get to work , and affairs rapidly change : every day adds to the comforts ; every acre of land reclaimed from nature adds to the wealth of the colony ; houses appear to _epringup by magic . We sometimes see comfortable small weather-board houses whore a fortnight previously the fern grew uncleared .
Tho New Zcalanders are an interesting race . They are , I think , on an average , a little taller than our own countrymen ; some of the men have good features , but the women are almost universally ugly . The general dress of both sexee is the blanket ; one tied round the middle , and another flung loosely over the shoulders as a cloak . They assume European dresses whenever they can get them ; and as they are fond of gaudy colours , they often cut a funny figure . __ There is a remarkable difference between the chiefs and the common people ; this has been noticed by different navigators to be the case in nearly all the isles of the Pacific : they are all generally taller , their forms of a finer mould , their features aquiline , and their foreheads broad . The
features ot the common sort are very different—the nose rather short , the lips inclining to be thick , and they are generally destitute of that intellectual expression which the chiefs possess . In intellectual powers these people are inferior to none . The children are very precocious . The natives in general , especially tho young men , are noisy and boisterous , fond of fun , and particularly of jokes ; it is this that has given them the name of the Irishmen of the South , although they will beat most Irishmen in driving a bargain ; in their dealings they are Jews . The natives are , in their own way , pretty industrious , but they do not like work for a length of time . Some of them I have heard express their surprise at the Europeans being always at work . The labour of
three monthB in the year in then * India-corn plantations and potatoes is sufficient to provide them with the absolute requisites of life ; and most of them do not see much good in spending the other nine in hard work . They are' all extremely fond of money , and many are ambitious to obtain European comforts and to assume European man _» ners . Their old mode of salutation—namely , rubbing noses , is fast falling into disuse , and has given place to the shake of the hand and the formal bow . Consumption is a dreadful scourge among them . The natives will , I think , advance rapidly in civilization ; and I hope England will at last awake to the _Bense of that injustice towards the Abori gines which has sta the records of other colonies .

SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE . Collisions ofp Pi / Tmouth . —In consequence of the prevalence of the late easterly wind a groat number of merchant shipping have taken shelter in Plymouth Sound . On Friday , the 3 rd inst ., the wind having veered towards the south , most of these vessels left the port , and the Sound was occupied only by Russian , Prussian , and other ships bound to northern ports , which continue frozen . On Saturday the schooner True Blue , of Bristol , Laurence master , from Newport , with coal , for Rouen , returned to Plymouth , having been in contact with _tlie brig William Wilberforco . of Ufraeombe , Huxtable master : from
Newport , with coal , for Southampton . The schoqne was struck amidships , her bulwarks and stanchions earned away , and as she appeared to be going down , her captain and crew jumped aboard the brig , leaving one hand asleep in the forecastle . Finding _^ however , that the Time Blue did not sink , they r ejoined her , and first ascertaining there was no water m the cabin , tried her pumps , which proved dry , they ag . u ' a took charge . Bythistime the brig had made sail to proceed on her voyage , and Cap tain Laurence _waa obliged to pull six miles in Hyde ' s pilot boat before he could ascertain his name and other particulars . The same day the schooner Sophia , of London , Cap-;
tain Uock , troni the Mediterranean , with . sulphur , bound to London , was brought in by a Brixham pilot smack , having been in collision with the bri g _Pandova , Captain Cunningham , from Cardiff , with iron _, for Lynn . In this case the brig ' s bow first caught the end of the schooner ' s main boom , and snapping the spar in pieces , struck and damaged her taffrail and larboard-quarter . Captain Cock , his mate , and boy , thinkingtheschoonerwouldgodown , left three _handsm the forecastle , and took refuge on board the Pandora , which vessel returned to Plymouth shortly after _tha Sophia was brought in . Providentially there were no lives lost in either of these collisions .
