On the 24th May, at 4 P. M., a simultaneous attack,
oth by land and water, was made upon Canton, by the
j Sritish forces in those seas. The number of troops land-
d was 2200. The Chinese and Tartar troops within the
ity amounted to between 40 and 50 thousand. The Eng-
jsh had 4 sloops of 18 guns, two of 16, and one of 10,
mployed in the bombardment By the morning of the
5th, all the forts were in possession of the British, the
uburbs of the city on fire, and their land forces in posses-
ion of the heights which command the town. On the
5th, the Chinese capitulated, and offered a large ransom
J save their city from storm. The loss of the British
vas only 40 killed and wounded, while that of the Chi-
ese is variously estimated at from 3 to 5,000, and even
s high as 10,000 men. The latest dates from China are
, • f
i the 19th of June—the ransom had been fixed upon, and
e troops withdrawn; but it was expected that the Chi-
ese would provoke further hostilities.

From the Picayune.
Mexico.—Day after day news arrives from this ps< u-
do-republic of revolutions and counter revolutions. To day
this chief is in the ascendant—to morrow the fortunes of
that triumph. The story of “ liberty” and “victory” in
Mexico becomes older than a thrice told tale—it pulls on
the ear. The truth is, revolutions in Mexico amount to
little more, in a national point of view, than the succss of
a particular race-horse in a trial of speed, or the victory
of a certain Irish faction ma fight .at a provincial fair.
Mexicans are strangers to constitutional literty„and know
not how to appreciate the political blessings which it dis-
penses A spirit of party prompts them to reyolutionize ,
they are strangers to the dictates of principle ‘ Chief may
crush chief in Mexico—dictator may wield the wand of
power over dictator, but yet the changes incident to these
purty broils will bring no relief to the people. They
want what we enjoy—the full right to act, speak, and
write on every subject that conduct th to good government
and the happiness of the commonwealth; and they want
more—they want the discretion to enjoy and the wisdom
to appreciate the blessings conferred by a free, representa-
tive from a government. They are at 1
narrow intolerance, paralyzed by ignorance, and the dup
of men whose bosoms never beat to a generous aspiration
—whose minds are a mass of hypocrisy and cunning.
When will this end? When will the accursed spirit
of party be exorcised in Mexico? When will intriguing
demagogues be stripped of the power which now enables
them to make man spill the blood of his fellow-man for
their own aggrandisement? When, finally, will that
country, for which God has done so much and man so
little, assume its proper position—a republic in fact as well
as in name?
Houston, Saturday, Nov. 13, 1841.
The long expected steamer New York has at length
mved, and brought us our files of United States papers
, am which we derive the following. Our latest dates

Never, we fear, till the Anglo-Saxon race, of whose
very being liberty seems a part, penetrates into and holds
an ascendancy in that country. Then, and not till then,
will the jaring discords of faction be crushed—then, and
not till then, will civil strife cease. They are ever ready
to resist tyranny to the death—they never become intoxi-
cated with the possession of rational liberty. Difference
of opinion may arise regarding the year or the century in
which the Anglo-Saxon race. will hold sway in Mexico-
but all whose eyes will epente reason—all who are ca-
pable of drawing a conclusion from a promise will admit,
that as certain as the sun sets in the west, so certain will
the adventurous and enterprising Anglo-Saxons overrun
Mexico and the whole of South and Central America.
It is destined that liberty—rational, constitutional liberty
—shall pervade the whole of the western world, and the
Anglo-Saxon race are to be its pioneers and propagator's

appears to us too verbose; we admire that brevity, that
condensation, which-contents itself with resting on the
great and general points of a question, and upon them
alone; but this Message laboriously searches up, and, if
we may be allowed the expression, spins out, all the ar-
guments even the most trivial and indirect, which support
the policy it advocates.
The whole tone of this Message is apologetic__its ob.
ject (as we trust its effect will be) is to bespeak concilia-
• tion. His Excellency approaches the Santa F expedi-
tion with much caution. He says that he twice laid the
subject before Congress, to wit, in his annual Message of
1839, and through the report of the Secretary of War, at
the last soseion, in which he strongly expressed his warm
partiality for the project, and in as much as Congress
did not absolutely forbid him to act in the matter, after
this notice of his "intention'' he felt himself at liberty “to
set on foot the enterprise, whenever the condition of the
country would justify it” This is a new idea. Congress
is to pass negative acts, it is not to say what shall, but
what shall not, be the law. So whenever the President,
in his annual Message, shall announce to Congress, his
"intention to organize a regiment of troops,” for any par-
ticular purpose, and Congress does not absolutely prohibit
urther proceedings, the troops may be raised, organized,
officered, clothed, fed, and paid ;—but who’s to pay the
piper ? the people, we suppose; but they are not worth
consideration; after the President has declared his "inten-
tion," any further consent from them or their Representa-
tives is not requisite. This is the new constitutional doc-
trine, become so fashionable at the bar of late. The peopik
must submit Silence speaks consent. But how did ‘the
condition of the country justify” this enterprise ? The
President was obliged to disband the regular army, be-
cause Congress had adjourned without making appropria-
tions for its pay and support; “and as there was left on
hand a considerablesupply of military equipments and
means of transportation," his Excellency thought that
out the economical principle, of which Congress had set
the example.
The narrow limits of a tri-weekly preclude a further
notice of the Message.
The Austin papers brought by last mail contain full
translations of all the laue documents which have been
issued in Mexico, in the shape of revolutionary declara-
tions, manifestos, protests, proclamations, resolutions, &c.
I heir great bulk prevents us giving them a place in our
columns. Santa Anna always insists that the powers that
b<', or rather that have been, ought to have reconquered
1 exas, and promises the Mexican people, if they will con-
fer on him the chief command, to re annex Texas to the
Great Mexican Republic! hi enumerating the weak-
nesses of Bustamente's administration, he continues to re-
proach him mthese terms
“ For a government that cannot subject to obedience of
the laws and its authority, the Departments which have
separated themselves from the national union ; that cannot
count upon an army sufficient to protect the coast and
frontiers; that does nos possess the resources to erect the
necessary fortifications or even to preserve in a proper
state those which exist; that cannot maintain a small
squadron to prevent the pitiful lexians from coming to
hoist their banners in front of those of the Republic, that
cannot render that succor which she ought to other De-
partments which are threatened by a few detestable ad-
venturers, who, not content with the possession of the
whole Department of Texas, are now trying to extend
their infamous conquest even to New Mexico, Chihuahua
and the Californias; that has no revenue; that depends
pon borrowing, without credit at home or abroad; what
will become of such a country, subject, as ours is, to a
small circle, which have dictated to her such a poor, con-
temptible policy?”
Oh! most brave and mighty Seor Don Antonio
Lopez de Sant’ Anna! Oh! most invincible Napoleon
of the West! Have you already forgotten your cringing
farewell, address to the soldiers of Texas—sickening by
its flattery? Have you already forgotten when you were
brought back to Velasco, how, in order to conciliate these
“pitiful Texians, ’ you took in your own hand their single
starred banner and waved it over your head? You pretend
to reconquer Texas!—Your coward soul trembles within
you at the very name of Texian!—Whisper but'san
Jacinto in your ear, your palid cheek grows paler, and
your knees refuse their office. Vaunt on, vain boaster,
the Texians know you well.

We regret, that we cannot unite with some of our co-
temporaries, in their eulogia of the President's Message.
With regard to its composition, so highly praised by the
Gazette, we have little to say, we consider that as of quite
secondary importance; it is its substance, not its-form,
which gives merit to a state-paper. At the same time,
we beg leave to remark, that the composition is not pf

holding up as a model for state documents The style
