On examining this document yoil will find in the first olace. that, iii the desenptiob of the con- tractiuff Darties, the language i of the stipula tions, and the modf of the execution, the style of perfect equality between the , U njited piates and China has befh sedulopsly observed, and I may add. that this has been carefully attended to in the Chinese, as well as the English dupli-1 cate of the treaty. You will perceive, in the secon place, that 11113 wmiy butiiuiiio, p. p icivii. which are not embraced either inithe English treaty pf Nanking, or in thn treaty supplementary there to, which comprehends tie tariff ana the com mercial regulations. ; ; . T H :JV."The tariff is amended, by the reduc tion of the duties on sntnd articles of American production, and by fixing, with greater precision; what gooes are contraband, or subjects ct mo nopoly. ' i ' j j , , ; '.-.j There is nothing in the Eng.ish treaties to limit the power oflhe Emperor inthe exclusion of articles of import or c.xpor. ; ' Thus ho might render all the commercial privileges nugatory by pijohibi ting the exporta jion of tea and silk, and Iho importation of cot. ton or cotton fabrics: or he might obstruct the commerce in these or ant other articles, by ma king them the subject of close monopoly, as; is now the case with salt. S l v I This is guarded again si in the treaty of Wang Hiya, by making the objects of contraband and monopoly anatter of stipulation between the Governments. And no modifications of the tariff are to be made wit lout the consent of the U. States. . - i - - j I I- Second. By the Engl i ih treaties, trie Consul is security fur the; payment of duties, and is bound to prosecute for aljl infractions f the rev enue laws of China. This is to transfer to the British Government the office Sahd responsibili ty of paying duties, which involves much : of regulation and of form jin the prosecution of trade, which experience jhas already shown !to be inconvenient to the subjects as well as the Government of Great Britain. ! All this is avoi ded in the treaty of j Wang Hiya, by making the pities payable in cash, jvhtch j is perfectly ac ep'able to the merchant, and in accordance With the course of business in China. I A ship which, having Slouched at Canton, has there paid tonnage duties, and discharged a part f her cargo, may proceed with the residue to any other port in China! without being subject to the payment of tonnage! duty' a second lime ; and goods which have (been landed, lind paid duty at one of the ports iof China, majr, at any time, be re-exported to any other port of China, without being subject to any further dutjr. This latter provision is equivalent to a warehousing system f r all the const jf j China. I Fourth. Due provision is made for the re cognition and personal jjiguityiand security of consuls or any other officers whom ihe Govern ment of the United 3tate may see fit tnl appoint for the superintendence of bur trade inj China. Fifth. In regard tojthe payment of duties, various provisious are irjserted. for the bonven ience of our commerce, with respect to the mode of payment, and, amongj others that merchan. dise may be landed froni time to time, as may be convenient, dutv beiriff Raid on the articles only when they are landed, and that vessels may within a limited time, depart, if they jplease, without breaking bulk, j I i Sixth. Citizens bf the United States are to have all accommodation at each bf the five ports, not only as heretofore jintbo construe! ion of of dwalling houses and magazines, but churches, cemeteries and hospitals. - also Seventh. Provision is made for the e mploy- ment, by Americans, of persons to teach the languages of the empire ; (and the purchase of books is legalized : it having ben the custom heretofore for the Chinese Government to per secute and oppress such of its sjubjects als eith er, gave instruction br sbld book's to foreigners in China : which circumstance has leen k great obstacle to the studyiof thaj languages of China and tho acquisition of th o means of satisfactory intercourse with its Gov ernment.

The article of the jreaty does not specify to tchom communications from the TJ. States shall be addressed, it being left to the discretion of the American Government to elect whom it will address, not excepting the Emperor. Upon this point I shall make to you a sepa. rate communication, with reference as well to its importance as for the purpose cf indicating the parties at Cou:f, whom it will be most con venient fur the Secretary of State to address, when occasion shall arise. Sixteenth, In regard to opium, which is not directly mentioned in the English treaties, it is provided by the treaty of Wang Hiya, that citi zens of the U. States engaged in this or any other contraband trade shall receive no protec tion from the American Government, nor shall the flag of the U. States be abusively employ ed by other nations as a cover for the violation of the laws of China. Upon this point, also, I shall have occasion to address to you a separate despatch. I have thus, in a brief manner, indicated somo J cf tho peculiar provisions of this treaty. JMany of them are new and important. Some of the English newspapers have jcom mented rather boastfully upon the fact that the English arms had opened the ports of China to other nations, and at the same time have, with flippant ignorance, ridiculed the idea of a mis sion from the United States to do that which (it was said) had been already wholly done by England. ' I ascribe all pnssiblo honor to the ability dis played by Sir Henry Pottinger in China, and to the success which attended his negotiations ; and I recognise the debt of gratitude which the United States and all other nations owe to Eng land for what she has accomplished in China. From all this much benefit, has accrued to the United States. But, in return, the treaty of Wang Hiya, in the new provisions it makes, confers a great benefit on the commerce of the British empire ; for the supplementary English treaty stipulates that any new privileges conceded by China to other nations shall be enjoyed also by England, and there is a similar provision in the treaty of V ang Hiya ; and thus, whatever progress eith er Government makes in opening this vast em pire to the influence of foreign commerce, is f r the common good of each other and of all Christendom. The details of tho tariff are not yet comple. ted, and some incidental questions remain to be arranged. I shall dispose of these matters as soon as possible, in order to transmit the treaty, and all the correspondence, and various other particu lars of the negotiation, in season, if possible, to be laid before the Senate at the opening of the next session of Congress. I am, with great respect, your obt serv't, C. CUSHING. Hon. John Nelson, ccc. From the New Orleans Bee, January 14. MEXICO. By the ship Harmann, which arrived yester day from Vera Cruz, we have received our Mex ican files to the 21st ult. Tho Minister for Foreign Affairs gave infor mation on the 14th, to the chamber of deputies, that the Department of San Louis de Pofosi had participated in tho movement against Santa Anna, as well as the garrison of the fortress of Ulloa. He likewisecnmmunicated advices of a manifestation of a similar nature by the as sembly of Michojscan. Don Antonio Diez do Bonilla, has been ap pointed Prefect of the Centre, in place of Don 'Francisco Ortiz de Zarata. Don Nicholas Bra vo has been nppointed General in Chief of the Army, charged with the defence of the Govern ment. Don Pedro Cartazar is appointed Command er of military operations in place of Santa Anna, and the latter on the 7th ult., was notified of the same, being ordered to Mexico at the same time, to give an account of his actions, i At Vera Cruz the portrait of Santa Anna was burnt amid the shouts of the multitude. The Siglo XIX says that on tho 10;h Dec, at 1, A. M., the mint at Gunajuato was attack ed by a body cf cavalry, acting under the orders of Santa Anna. One hundred and thirty-fire thousand dollars was carried off, belonging to. different Mexicans. The order expressly pro hibits the removal of specie belonging to for eigners. It adds that the ex-minister Hard, and GenT Pacheco had takeathe route to Lagos, in order to despatch without loss of time, by way ofSilao, the plunder they had levied, together with so.ne fifty thousand dollars of contributions wrung from the inhabitants at the fair. The same paper, says that the Contra-pmnimcia. monto of which Santa. Anna spoke in his Inter cepted letter to Canalizo, did not take placo at Zacaiecas.:; - . -' ' "." . It was said at Vera Cruz that all communica tion wiih Mexico bad been suspended. The news therp consisted of little more than rumors well or ill founded. It was reported that Santa 'Anna, was llt wren tPoebla nd Mexico, at the head of alout 3 000 men and that he was pre. paring to march against the. city of Mexico ncv cording to some, and against- Vera Cruz, ac cording to others.

The Hero denied the charge: But it has been proven, beyond a doubtj that he uks in favor of said Treaty: '.His h'wn hand writing establishes the fact.
