nominate a candidate to be voted for on the

the State should be fully represented in

Yucatan. Distracted Condition of
the Peninsula. We regret to learn that
the aborigines of Yucatan, the Indians, as
tlrey are called, are in the full tide of suc
cessful revolt against the white inhabitants.
The most frightful atrocities have been
committed by them, who, in their thirst
of vengence, spare neither age nor sex.
Invited by the divided state of the country,
which during the last eighteen months has
been a prey to twTo factions, the Indians
rose some time since, as wc have already
noticed in this sheet. When it appeared
by the cessation of strife among the
whiles, and their cordial union against the
common enemy they, for a time, put
down the disaffected. Lately, however,
the aborigines have obtained such success
in the open country that the whites have
been obliged to solicit succor from with
out; particularly, from the Spanish govern
ment in Cuba.
A correspondent of the Patria, in a let
ter dated Vera Cruz, the 16lh inst, writes:
"the Spanish brig of war Ncrvion left this
port two or three days ago, bound for
Campeachy. The Captain has orders to
land his crew and artiller', and hoist the
Castillian flag in that city, for the protec
tion of Spanish subjects. It is reported
that 7,000 men, and several men of war,
are to leave Havana for the same object.

It was not expected that Mr. Trist
would remain in Mexico, or continue in
the exercise of thc functions of the office of
commissioner, after he received his letter
of recall. He has, however done so; and
the plenipotentiaries of the government of
Mexico, with a knowledge of the fact, have
concluded with him this treaty. 1 have
examined it with a full sense of the extran
eous circumstances attending its conclu
sion and signature, which might be object
ed to, but conforming, as it does substan
tially, on the main questions of boundary
and indemnity, to the terms which our
commissioner, when he left the United
States, in April last, was authorized to of
