Bui, depend upon it, the aame obstinacy and rancor which kept up tbe long atruggle against Spain will exhibit themselves in maintaining tha integrity of tha Mexican ter ritory. Oo this point all partiea are agreed. Fortunately for the Texians, although Santa Anna is down, Buetsmetite ia not secure in his seat. There is asirvog' parly in Mexico deter mined on nationalising the property of the Church, and restoring the Constitution of 1824. Garcia, of Zacatecaa, and Gomes Fariaa, now in this city, are the prominent men of that party. Tha latter ia about returning lo Mexico, to take an active part in public affairs.

AURORA BOREALIS. v" A most rare and beautiful Pheoornenoo made its appearance in tbe northern sky on Saturday night last. ; We have called it st (he head of thia article an Aurora Boreslis" because every one else cells it so : but we sre not sufficiently acquainted with the cri teria of such matters to determine whether it l:e raal genooine critter or an immi tation. It certainly differs much from those appearance as describes! in the Amencm Almanac, under this head, as will be seto from the following particulars. To proceed then; on Saturday night last about half af ter nine o'clock on coming into the street from a neighbor' house we were struck vitb n uncommoni degree of light in the atrooj phere, and on turning'to the north discov ered a long tract of horizontal light, similar lo the dawn about half advanced, and el- tending for about J of tbe horizon, sod situated with about one half of tbe light on each side of the north pole, On gszmg ' this brilliant spectacle for a few minutes, i light seemed (o increise in clearness. vl to ex tea d much higher into the beaten) say at least 25 degress, while ail. siounii it was fringed and skirted with an sreb of clouds ; reaching bom E. to W.
