I.STF.RESTISO AND UKFt'I. ImpROVF.MIAT IX PlXT aos Stamps. The Post office stamps having to I detached either by cutting or tearing them from each other, great in. convenience it felt, particularly by those extensive correspondence indeed, even the postmasters of the principal receiving houses are greatly inconvenienced by the additional trouble that is entailed upon them by the present mode of detaching the stamps, particularly during the last hoar for posting letters intended to be despatched by the evening msil or at the period when an additional stamp (which cannot then be obtained at the branch offices, where letters after half past 5 o'clock must be posted) is required to be placed upon them. For instance, a iostiiiater.

after disponing of, say, a shilling's worth of stamps, is frequently called upon by the purchaser to cut them off one by one, for the purpose of attaching them to letters intended to I posted in his office, or, if too late there, at the General Post office or one of the branches, a eitra stamped letter! so that, at the period of the day that the press of official business demands their exclusive' attention, ost masters, to their great annoyance, are continually importuned bv persons requiring their stamps to cut; indee.l, it not unfrequenily happens that the hour for closing the lettcr lx arri vet before many of those ho a re aiting for their turn can be served. To provide, therefore, a remedy for the incon venience thus experienced, a plan has been invented, by the ail of a machine, bv which more than double the number of stamp sheets that 'is now annually required may be so mi. hutely indented in the direction of the white lines at to allow theatamnsto be instantly detached from the sheet without the operation of cutting erfect, too. in every respect or, in other words, in no way mutilated or disfigured, like most of the stamptthat are now torn from each other. The contrivance will also enable purchasers to fold a sheet of stamps, or any less quantity, with unerring regularity, and in one tenth of the time that is at present consumed in the operation; in a manner, moreover, that will render them peculiarly con.

anient both for the pocket and use, inasmuch as a sheet, in th first instance, may be readily folded or plaited like paper tan. and then doubled up like a map whereas, to told one of the present sheets into a portable form requires considerable care and patience, and even then, before one quarter of the sheet is folded, the crease, instead of being in the (lirection of the white line, has to be Tormed along the centre of the heads whereby the folding, instead of serving to facilitate the operation of cutting, is found to increase the difficulty. The propiwed plan offers such facility for folding any quantity of stamps in the most convenient form, that it is not improbable that retailers, for the sake of their own interest and convenience, will be induced to supply them to the puUic ready folded. It is well known that these creases, and also the curl which is produced upon the stamps by keeping them in a loose or rolled state, tend very much.to prevent them adhering to the letters. The proposed plan, however, will not only secure that the stamp shall be folded in the direction of the white line, but in a manner that will prevent them from curling.

The rough or dental edges which it will give to the stamp will render them, after they shall have len attached to the let ten, lea liable to be 'removed, either hy or otherwise. The plan, wt understand, has been submitted to the Post. matter General, who with his usual desire to facilitate the despatch of letters, and to promote the convenience of the public, has referred it to the practical department of the Post oAce, with a view of ascertaining the efficiency of the mklnj for the required work, and whether or not it would fattirthts to adopt ths proposed plaa the noble Marquis at the same time to the party who waited upon his Lordship, that if the plan could be emrried out it would, ia his opinion. contribsrU very much to the con venience of ths pwclltrvpalto RaVm Journal.

On the Cth of September, General Scott addressed a letter to Panta Anr.a from 1 acuhaya, accusing him of having violated several articles of the armistice, and one of thr charges was that he had not allowed the American army to obtain supplies from the city of Mexico. General Scott demanded an explanation, and concludes as follows I hereby formally notify you, that if I do not receive the most complete satisvWion on all these points It fore 12 o'clock to morrow, I luei! collider the armistice as terminated from that hour." To this l.ctter General Santa Anna replied at considerable length, ar.l with gritit severity. He ac cused General Scott tf having violated the terms of the armistice in refusing to allew dour from the mills in the vicinity to be brought into the city, and says that the American waggons were driven out.

General Valencia has issued a. proclamation, rehearsing the history of the battles of Coirtreras and ChuruLusco, in whicli he accuses Santa Anna of cowardice, in order to screen himself. It contains nothing new or important. The State of Zacatecas, taking advaatage of the distracted condition of Mexico, has sent a force against the state of Aguas Calientaa, which has sometimes acted independently of Zacatecas, and been recognised as an independent state, to reduce it to submission.

our commwsioners rejected the. treaty propositions of the American Government, and ledded on returning the war, Geaeral Herrera inviting and urging the clergy to rouse the citiient to the utmost 'resist ance. On the same day General Scott, the American chief, charged Santa Anna with breaking the armistice by forbidding his commissioners to obtain food in the citf, and threatened, unless reparation was mae, to commence hostilities and bombard the city. 8anta Anna replie severely charging Scott with breaking the armistice by sacking our villages, andexpressed hit perfect readiness to renew the war. On the 13th instant the Americans made a demon, rtration on Chapoltepec and the mill of El Rey, but our Generals were prepared fsr them.

Anticipating a breach of the armistice, Santa Anna for several days had caused Vt be conveyed, ta every possible manner so as not to excite suspicion, arms, munitions, and food to the fortress cf Chapoltepec. Our rititens carried under their mantles and on mules a great quantity of powder, balls. and provisions, without being once discovered, so great was the feeling of security and con5dence among the Americans. General Scott was not a little surprised to find on attacking Chapoltepec such obstinate resistance. Chapoltepec, you know, it situated between Tacubaya and the city, within cannoncannon shot of the former and some three miles from the latter.

It it a boil hill overlooking a vast range of country, which enable our soldiers to watch every manoeuvre of the enemy. also commands the road from Tacubaya to the city, which runt close to its base, and it can only be ascen led by a circuitous paved way, which, after turnirg a certain angle, is exposed to the full rang: of the fortress guns.

He may find our lakes bursting their barriers and filling thit beautiful valley to annihilate the in famous Americans. We scarcely hope, yet do not quite despair. Our brave generals may recover what is lost, and Mexico, with her ten million of people, arise to sweep the invader from the land he ha desecrated.

Their numerous and brave columns wen, however, repulsed three time by valiant soldiers, who this gave brilliant proofs of their patriotism and bravery more than 1 of the enemy remained on the field of battle, and on our side the loss bat len less than one half that nunilier, we having to lament the death the gallant Colonel John Lucas, Baldras and General Ion Antnio de Leon. Iing wounded, together with several other distinguished chiefs and pfficert. The traitcr Santa Anna commanded in erson the column hich forced the Americans to retreat, taking with them, without doubt, the com iction that it is ouly through rivers of blood that they penetrate the city of Mexico, and that at all events they will there find their sepulchre." The following paragraph is translated from a Jalapa letter in the Anoint, at Vera Cruz, but its statements are' not credited When General Perez abandoned the mill EI Rey, a bomb discharged from Chapoltciec fell among the ammunition waggon of the enemy, in the yard of the mill, causing four of them to explode, by which Americans are said to have ln blown up.

inclu'ling liencrnl Worth, who, according to the accounts, had not eeti veen or heard from thc.followiug day at Taculaiya," This is the latest of the' Mexican accounts from' the capital. It renders it certain that General Scott had opened his batteries upon the city. The only authentic report of the 'result is contained in the following letter, addressed to Mr. Dimond, at Vera Cruz Orizaba. Sept.

11'. devils, whom it was impossible to defeat without anal haUtios. lie made a thirl ar.l Vul charge with, fresh force and heavy guns, ar.d our gallant troops having ex taeir grape ahot, were forced, very unwillingly, to retreat and yield up the fortress, of which ths tnemy took possession. Our soldiers retreated towards tht city, but were unfortunately rut off by a detachment of the enemy cavalry, and about 1.CO0 were made prisoners, but wertj soon released, as the enemy had no men to iard them. The eneray then opened hit batteries oa the Mill El Rey (King's Mill) close upon Chapoltepec, which, afcer obstinate fight ing and great low to the Americans, we were obliged to aban Ion.

The two actions continued over nice hours, and were the severest, considering our email number of soldier and the enemy's large force, that hare been Our lot in killed and wounded was not more than COO. while th enemy lost 6ver 4oo, or at least such wo the of deserter from the American camp who cime to us in the evening. Seeing that the city woull inevitably be attacked, Oeneral tanu Anna, during the actions, caused a number of trenches to be cut acros th road leading to the dty, which were flooded with water. On the morning of the 14th, before daylight, the enemy, with a part of hi force, commenced hit march upon the city. Our soldiers, posted behind the arches of the aqueducts and several breastworks which had been hastily thrown up, annoyed him to severely, together with the trenches which he had to bridge over, that be did not arrive at the gates till late in the afternoon.

Here he halted, and attempted to bombard the dty. which he did during the balanc of the day and the day following. doing immense damage. In tome cases whole blocks were dettroyel and a great num lcr of men, women, and children killed and wounded. The picture was awfuL One deafening roar filled our ear on cloud of smoke met oar eyes, now and then mixed with flame, and amid it all we could hear the various shrieks of the wounded and dying.

But the citv bravely resisted the hundreds of flrinc It hurled back defiance to the bloodthirsty Yankee, and con inced him that hit bombs could not reduce the Mexican capital. The enemy then changed his plan, and determined to enter the city, where we were prepared to meet him, baring barricaded the streets with. sand bagt, and provided on the house tops and at the windows all who eonll bear arms or missiles, ttone. bricks, ic, to throw on the heads of the enemy. Before General Scott hal fairly patted the gates he found the difficulty of hit position.

A per feet torrent of balls and itonet rained upon our troops. Many were killed and. more. wounded. Still he kept ad vancing until he gained the entrance of two streets leading direct to the Plaza.

Finding that he could not oppose himself to our soldiers, who were all potted out of sicht. and that he was losing his men rapidly. General Scott took possession of the convent of San Isidor, which extends back to the centre of a block, and at once set his tappers and miners to cutting a way directly through the blocks of buildings. In some instances whole houses were blown up to facilitate his progress but after several hours be again emerged into the street, and finally regained the Plaza with I have, the honur to inform you that an express amve.i 1 ()n enterinir the PLua a heavr fir was onened on here this evening from Mexico, which bring! intelligence him from tht ceJrj, which wer filled and eo that General wat in the city of Mexico.

General Bravo wat killed, i Mlje on plUc. cthedraL lirlng over 100 shots. and General Hauls Anna wat wounded in the arm, and hat retired with the remainder of his troops, which have suffered much, to Guadeloupe." From this it seems that the attack upon Chapol tepec was renewed, which renders credible the first statement tliat in the attack of the 8th on that town General Scott was repulsed. which did immense damage to tht buildings and canted a severe lost of killed and wounded.

Coastwise inactive. PAP.bOX OF WlLUASf HKXRT BARBER. (From the tfolart Totc Courier of May This remarkable man, who acted as attorney for Joehca Fletcher in the celebrated Emma Slack" will forgery case, is at present in Hobart Town. He had Just come down from Norfolk Island in the Pestonjee Roman jee to Impression bay. A day or two after his arrival.

Her Majesty special warrant for a conditional free pardon reached him direct from England. He is therefore free to go to any part of the world except the United Kingdom. But we think that this is the preeursive step to an unconditional pardon, which wrU restore him to his friends, and' home, and happinessi matter cannot of course rest here. The Government have either done too much or too little. In Mr.

Barber case there can be no medium between the most honourable in do. cence and the most perfect guilty knowledge of the fraudulent nature of the transaction. In the latter view of the case ha deserve no sympathy he merit no indulgence and a pardon under such circumstances would be a premium upon the most dangerous kind of dishonesty. If be. was, in the first instance, perfectly innocent, then a conditional pardon is continued injustice.

Mr. Barber was an eminent soliritor, in excellent practice in the dty of London. His professional income at the time of his trrnt and trial amounted to a vear. Of this; by the well planned fraud of hit client Fletcher, he was deprived at a blow. But Mr.

Barber moral innocence is now established beyond all doubt, and full civil and legal exemption will soon follow. But who can adequatelv conceive the state of mind to which a man of.eminent abilities and cultivated taste must have been reduced by being thrust down from a highly respectable sphere of life to herd with the outcast of Norfolk Island for nearly three long years of convict slavery! How shall he be recompensed for his sufferings how shall he be reinstated in his once exalted professional station His painful experience of probation torture will, no doubt, have put him in possession of numerous fact illustrative of the effect, of penal discipline and as Mr. Barber is a person well Qualified to hidse and reason, and write upon the sub ject, we hope he will 1I0 something towards elucidating the yet enshrouded question, rew men couia pass tnrougn tne degrading horrors of such a miscreant den. so tvrannicallv' and so absurdly governed as it ha been of late, without being the worse for three years" Norfolk Island life vet we hear that Mr. Barber has borne his sorrows and sufferings with th meek fortitude of true heroism, and that his conduct throughout the whole period of his island captivity hat been exemplary and inoffensive.
