    lA.iie anil Xa?:rJant from HSoi;
fciiucu, Eli'eno Ayres,
The Boik Clnnrcllor, Capt. Beauvois,
arrived veMerd.iy from Montevideo
whence she sailed on the 9th tilt. She
also bring dates from Htictios Ayrcs to
the Is nit, Cap', D-.MUvois stales that a
difficulty h.;.l occurred between the com
inanderi of the KnIish and French
Blockading Squadrons which may lead to
a rupture.
It seem? that the English merchant
brig "Ringdove," was lying in a small
port on the coast of Buenos Ay res, taking
in cargo, supposed out of reach of the
vessels of War; when she was taken as a
prize ta the Blockading Squadron by an
English man-of-war schooner, and brought
t the outer roads of Montevideo, where
the admiral's ship was at anchor.
The English Admiral told the comman
der of the pc.hooner he had done , wrong,
;,nd ordered him fo take the brig back,
iiml leave her there unmolested.
The Trench Admirall hearing of it, and
not being willing to submit to such an
outrageous proceeding, (as no vessel un
der any oilier flag would have been allow
ed such a privilege, and if the coast is
blockaded to one it must be to all,) imme
diately despatched a man-of-war brig to
where the vessel had gone, took posses
sion of her, and brought her" to Montevi
deo, where she, together with licr cargo,
(consisting of 80 pipes of tallow,) was
condemned and ordered to be sold.
The account from Buenos Ayrcs stairs
there is no prospect of the difficulties be
ing scliled (he port was still blockaded,
and of course no .merchantmen were
there.
The British brig of war Racer, is said
to have had her mate killed in an encoun
ter between one of her boats and some
people on shore. Also that the captain
of the French brig of war Tactique, and
several of the crew, were killed in an af
fiiirupthe Uraguay.
On the night of the 23d of April, sev
eral thunderbolts fell in different parts of
the city, but without causing any serious
injury. One struck the house of II. E.'
the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and fell
within a few feet of the sofa where he was
sitting in his office. Fortunately Jlhc Min
ister escaped unhurt.
The Buenos Ayrcs Packet of the 2nd
says: "It is understood that in all the
present month, the merchantman engageJ
in the Parana bubble.will return; and it is
even said that the British and French
hips of war will evacuate the river, the
expense of pilotage being a very consid
erable item in the disbursements of the
intervention. Many of the vessels which
vent on the wild goose chase will have
i)ccn eight months on the round voyage,
snd the losses accruing to the parties con
cerned are known to be so heavy as com
pletely to discourage farther speculations
of this description; even were the British
and French squadrons, with a great waste
of blood and treasure, disposed" to protect
them with convoys. The lesson, it must
lc confessed, has been very severe, but it
is to be hoped that it will not prove even
tually unproductive of advantageous re
Milts. The p-olden VlRinn wlnMi nrnrrwl
cn to Uc commission of a great act of in
ternational injustice havingvanished, calm
reflection will confirm the truth of the
maxim, that "honesty is the best policy,"
asweli in theory as in practice."
The national schr. of war Federal, cap
tured after the battle of Obligado by the
French in the Parana, lias been re-taken
by the Argentines.
It is currently reported that Lopez, for
merly second in command to Paz, and
who, shortly after his disastrous expedi
tion to Santa Fe, being persecuted by Paz,
took refuge with two hundred of his fol
lowers in the Brazilian territory, has sued
for pardon to the Augentinc Government,
and that, it having been conceded, it is
supposed that by this time he has joined
with his party the army of General Ur
quiza. On the 28th of March a detachment of
150 cavalry sent out from Salto, for the
purpose of collecting cattle, were overta
ken and cut to pieces by Col. Lamas, on
ly eight men returning to town.
The Montevideo L'ommerc'o Dtl Pla

American papers, in the Georgetown Ad
vocate, saw the account, for the first

editor of the Cemmcrcio takes occasion
to express his sympathies with the be
reaved parent, and in a manner which
shows die commander of the American
squadron in the Rio de la Plata has acqui
red the good will of all.
Vessels arriving from Cualcquay state
that nothing new was heard from Corien
tes up to the 21st April, Urquiza was
tranquil, the greater hart of the army be

directed that until official news were giv

D. Jose Bollivan, captain general of the
armies of the Republic, publishes a mani
festo in relation to the "immense traffic in
smuggling." lie directs that all foreign
wines and liquors shall be entered at the
custom-house of Oruso, there the duties

CHILI.
A treaty of peace and commerce had
been signed between the two governments
of New-Grenada and Chili at the city of
Santiago. The first railroad in Central
America will be probably, the one con
structed in British Guiana, between Bcr
bice and a point in the interior. It is short,
but of immense benefit to traders.
LATER FROM CORIENTES.
Paz having heard of communications
between Urquiza and Governor Mada
riaga. and fc.rfu! of a friendly issue, resol
ved cy defeat the result; for this purpose
hi w rote- ;o ihe so-calbJ Congress of Co-
I
i icnlcc, and easily obtained their co-oper
ation. It was resolved to supercede Ma
dariga, and Paz supplied troops to sup
port the authority of the new governor;
but Madariga, learning what was goingon,
seized all the refractory members, with
Minister Marquez, and sent them prison
ers to a neighboring town. The city
was declared under martial law, and Gov
ernor Madariga marched to attack the
troops being mostly Coricntinos, either
went over to Madariga or dispersed in the
confusion, the Congressmen escaped to
Paraguay. The Governor returning to
the city organized his forces, and having
issued a decree disposing Paz, declared
his intention of marching with an army
to attack him, he being surrounded by an
army of Paraguyans exclusively, the Cor
rentinos having flocked to the standard of
Madariga. The Paraguayan Commission
er in Coricnlcs has declared his convic
tion that as soon as the
government
re
ceives intelligence of these occurrences, it
will order its troops to withdraw.

INDIAN NEWS MISS PARKER
AND OTHER CAPTIVES.
Captain Rice arrived from the Council
Ground on Thursday last to him we are
indebted for the annexed items of Indian
news.
Col. Leonard II. Williams with a par
y of ten others, was detached to Pahuca's
camp on the false Washita; on the 29th
April, he sent a runner to Governor But
ler, informing him of having found Miss
Parker, and a yellow girl, in the Caman
che camp. The former was acquainted
with Col. Williams in the e irly and hap
py days of her existence. . During his
stay, she cenlinued to weep incessantly.
Twelve mules and two mule loads of mcr
chandirc were offered for her, but refused
bv the Indians, who say they will die
rather than give her up. No situation
can be depicted to our minds replete with
half the horrors of that unfortunate young
lady s,
Our Government should claim her will
a strong hand, the sword should be made
to avenge and to liberate. It is useless
to talk of treating with those barbarians,
until they arc nrst humbled by chastise
mcnt.
The appearance of Col. Williams cre
ated considerable excitement among tlu
Camanehes. The young warriors laid :
plan to murder him and his companion?
which was overheard by a Mexican hoy,
(owe of the many prisoners of that nation
among the Indians,) who gave timely no
ticc to Col. W., and he immediately clai
med the protection of Pahauca. Ihc
A
chief, with difficulty, succeeded in paci
fying his men.
Bullalo Hump acknowledges that his
parly killed several Germans near San
Antonio, (we suppose at Castroville,) he
is-consequently afraid to trust himself a
mong the "pale faces,"and refuses to come
in. Jack Harry, a Delaware, purchased
a German boy about nine or ten years of
age from his band.
They have two American lads prison
ers, which they refuse to bring in or sell;
one is about 1 1 or 12, and the other 10 or
17 years of age.
There are about three hundred Indians
at the Council ground, representing the
Chcrokccs, Shawnccs, Delawarcs, Ionies,
Anadacocs, Kickapoos, Tankahuas, Li
pans, Keechies, and Wacocs.
Pahauca, with an Amparico Chief, was
looked for on the day of Capt. Rice's de
parture, May 3d. Mopecochupcc, with
a small party, is also expected in.
The Camanches, Amparicoes, and Ki
owas, s ay, that once they met the Ameri
cans at Wichitaw mountain, and are wil
ling to meet them there again, when the
buffaloes bellow," which is in July.
The village of the Wacoes and Wichi
taws, situated in the Wichitaw mountains,
has been burned by the Pawncc-Mo-
haws. The residue of the two first
tribes are near Warren's trading house on
the Red River, and promise, if the Ameri
cans will suffer them to remain there,
never to molest the whites again in any
way.
PAY OF SOLDIERS.
The following discussion took place in
the U. S. House of Representatives on
the 1 1 th ult. Let it be carefully read.
Mr. Sawyer, tho' he be good at sausage
eating, "waked up the wrong passenger'
when he undertook to read a lecture to
Mr. Stewart.
Mr. SAAVYER rose and said he wish
ed to be indulged in making a personal
explanation, and went on to observe that
he would call the attention of the House
io a late speech of the gentleman from
Pennsylvania, (Mr. Stewart.) That gen
tleman savs there were hut eight Demo
crats who voted for giving the volunteers
ten dollars per month. He lelt called
upon to repel the charge. He could not
stiller the gentleman to deliberately falsify
the record for the purpose of gaining a
j temporary or permanent triumph over his
opponents, jie Mr. S.) held in his
hand the National Intelligencer giving the
vote, and he believed the only record vote
on that subject. It was lire bill raising
50,000 volunteers. This amendment
was voted into the bill by ayes 104, noes
02. Of those who voted for the bill C3
Locofocos, and 41 Whigs; against the bill,
53 Locofocos, and 29 Whigs. This bill
went to the Senate, aud this item was
stricken out. It was returned to the
House, and the emergency of the case re-'
quut.u !visuy ucii'ju uu VIU. 1 lie a-
mendmcnt of the Senate was, under these
circumstances, concurred in, rather than
run the risk of losing the bill or delay its
speedy passage.
Mr. STEWART said the gendeman
lalored under a great mistake Jit was not
the vote on the passage of the bill to
- 1 .l . : a., i ;ti mi
raise 50,000 volunteers he had referred
to. Not at all. AH parties voted for the
bill on its passage. What he said
was this, and it was strictly correct, that
on the distinct and separate proposition to
fix ten dollars a month instead of seven
as the pay of the volunteers, on that bill
all the Locofocos but eight had voted a
gainst ten dollars instead of seven dollars
a month, which was proved by the yeas
and nays, which were recorded, and the
gentleman Himself was one of those who
voted to reduce the pay from ten dollars
to seven dollars per month, which he now
denounced as a slander. The gentleman
had better look at the yeas and nays be
fore he undertook to contradict what had
been said by others. The journals prov
ed the truth of every word he (Mr Stew
art) had said. The gentleman from Ohio
(Mr. Sawyer) had deliberately voted two
or thrsc times against giving the volunteers
ten dollars a month. It was recorded; he
could not escape; it was folly to try to
scratch out of it; the journal held him last;
and he would advise him that the less the
srcntlcmansaid about it the better.
But, as the gentleman seemed to dis
like his nosition.to give him & Ins Irienus
another chance to put themselves right,
and to do justice to our brave volunteers,
HE WOULD XOW RENEW HIS MOTION TO IX
STRUCT THE COMMITTEE OX MILITARY
AFFAIES TO REPORT A KILL GIVING THE
VOLUNTEERS, AND REGULARS ALSO,
TEN DOLLARS A MONTH, AND TO THOSE WHO
SERVE TO THE END OF THE WAR, AND THE
II KIRS OF THOSE WHO DIED IN' THE SER

LAND.
The SPEAKER decided that the mo
tion was not now in order, and here the
matter dropped.

Vvasiiinotox, June 15th, 18 1G.
Editor of the Messenger:
Imr : I see m your pa
paper of the 9ih inst an extract from the
Pittsburg Morning Post," in which the
editor says, in an article headed Pay of
J ohm teen :
Mr. Stewart, the Whig member of
Congress from the Fayette and .Greene
District lias been quite industrious in his
efforts to retard the action of Congress on
the saveral bills making provision for the
vigorous prosecution of the war with
Mexico, by offering amendments. Mr.
Stewart was apparently very anxious to
have the pay of volunteers increased to
SI 0 per month."
Now, sir, I did not offer a single a
mendment, or utter one word to "retard
the action of Congress" on any of the
bills making provision for the vigorous
prosecution of the war with Mexico. On
the contrary, I voted Jor till of litem, :
the Journals shew.
The Editor next says: "If Mr.
Stewart really believed the pay inadequate
ami ucsireu lis increase why did he re
fuse to include the Regulars ? Mr. Stew
art we think, from the fact that he re
fused to include the regulars, was much
more anxious to retard the action of Con
gress upon the important bill to which he
offered the amendment, than to secure an
increase of pay for volunteers."
Here the editor of the "Post" is e.
qually at fault, for I subsequently offered
the sanc proposition, including the
regulars as wen as volunteers, with no
better success, so that there is not the
slighest foundation for any of the charges
made.
Having published tho article from the
Post, " you will do me the justice, I
trust, to publish also this brief statement.

C7And why did the Editor of the
Messenger refuse to publish this article
from Mr. Stewart ? Was it because they
intend still to assail his motives? 'O shame
where is thy blush!' Green Co. Dem.
JATEST FROM THE ARMY.
Accounts from Brasos Santiago to the
14th ult. bring news of a report that the
town of Rcynosa, against which the ex
pedition of Col. Wilson had started, was
surrendered without resistance.
. In addition to the above, the Mobile
Tribune says :
" Camargo and Rcynosa had capitula

Taylor, and he was wailing only the

Rio Grande to march towards them.

ernor Henderson, at the head of about one
thousand Texan troops, reached the
banks of the Rio Grande on the 10th in
stant. Seventeen warriors of the Tonk
away tribe of Indians accompanied the
Texans. The sight of these Indians
created much alarm to the inhabitants of
Matamoras and its vicinity, as they fear
that Gen. Taylor will let thera loose upon
them.

CONGRESS.
' ; The following account of the proceed
ings of Congress is furnished . by the
Washington correspondent of the Lancas
ter Examiner, under date of June 27.
We have room only for several extracts
from his letter.
On Wednesday, the labors of the week
commenced. The discussion in the House
was almpst exclusively on the tariff bill,
and has been kept up from day to day
with considerable animation, though Avith
great decorum, and perfect good feeling.
The old Afjr.VOHcbattles manfully for the
Protective, or American System; and had
the people, at the election in 18 14, discar
ded political and party feeling, and stood
shoulder to shoulder sustaining the inter
est of themselves and their own State,
with the same unanimity, zeal, ability and
good feeling that their representatives now
do on the floor of Congress we should
now, instead of waging an unnecessary
and expensive war, with Mexico, and a
still more unnecessary and destructive
war upon the industry and prosperity of
the country, e peaceably and quietly en
joying all the blessings that a proper ad
ministration of our freegovernment would
confer; exempt from those gloomy antici
pations, and fearful apprehensions, that
cast a cloud of despair over the mind of
every one who feels an interest in his
country's welfare. Eight of the Pennsyl
vania delegation have spoken of the ques
tion, and some half dozen of them are yet
waiting for an opportunity to express
their views. On Thursday, Mr. Brod
hcad, of Northampton co., (Democrat,)
addressed the Committee. He was strong
3nd decided in favor of the Tarifl of '42,
and opposed to the present bill.
To-day, Mr. Pollock, of Pa., address
ed the Committee in an able manner, and
exposed the conduct of the leading Locos
in your State, in asserting that Polk was
a better tariff man than Henry Clay.
He said that at their meetings and con
ventions in his district, some of the mot
los inscribed on their banners wcrc"PoA-,
Dallas, and the Tariff of '42 uc dare
the. Whigs to repeal it." Mr. P. also
adverted to the fact, that the present Sec
retary of State (Mr. Buchanan,) had ad
dressed public meetings in various places,
in the fall of 1844, in Pennsylvania, in
which he had stated that the tariff would
be as safe, or safer, in the hands of James
K. Polk, than it would be under the ad
ministration of Henry Clay. This state
ment, thus openly and boldly made on the j
floor of Congress, created considerable
sensation in the House, as many of the
members were utterly astonished to learn 1
that any honorable gentleman Avould haz
ard his reputation, by making such asser
tions as were here attributed to the digni
tary alluded to.
But I fear that all those arguments and
speeches will be unavailing; the tariff is
doomed to destruction, so far as die House
of Representatives is concerned. I fear
too, that even in the Senate its fate can
not be averted.
Incidents of the Campaign.
The correspondent of the N. Y. Spirit
of the Times, says in the charge led by
the gallant May, in the front rank was
himself, poorLvcE and Lt. Sackett.
YY hen May gave the word charge, Sack-
ctt's horse being a little the quickest, got

fell with him into a water hole. He fel
upon the Lieut, who with great difficulty
disengaged himself with the loss of his
sword. He took another horse and
sword from a dragoon, and again joined
in the fight.
Corporal Parrel of' the 4th infantry,
with ten men came up to Lieut. Havs of
the 1th and exclaimed. Lieutenant, if we
Jtad an officer to lead us we would take
that piece, merring to one which was
pouring the leaden messengers of death
into our poor fellows. You shall not say
you had not an officer to lead you Corpo
ral, follow me was the reply of the fear
ess Hays, and away they dashed and
stormed the battery and took it.
Such is the calibre of the American of
ficers and soldiers. It must not be thought
idds the writer, that the enemy did not
ight, They fought at first like dev
ils the files of wounded along their lines
ell how they stood up to it, and yon may
imagine how desperate was our charge
when I mention the fact that six out of
the eight pieces- that were taken, were
loaded!
Triumph of tlic Law.
New Hampshire. -The House of Rep
resentatives ol this State on Thursday or
dered to a third reading a bill to divide
. the State into districts for the choice of
Renrcsenlativcs to Congress bv the over-
'whelming majority of 183 to 35. This
is one of the subiccts unon which the
Radical Democracy of the State have
heretofore made stringent opposition ever
since the law was passed by Congress.
Some few of the leaders still resist, but
the sound good sense of the House has
prevailed.
The bill divides the State very fairly,
both as to politics and population. No
county is broken, and each district is as
compact as it well can be, while the pop
ulation is nearly equal. The districts are
laid down as follows :
Counties. Population.

Total Darkness A Sublime
Spectacle.
Sagna La Grande, on the island of Cu
ba was the only place where total dark
ness was produced by the eclipse of the
Sun on the 25th ult. A letter from that
place in the New York Sun, communi
cates the oqservation of Dr, Styles :
. The eclipse commeeced at 9h. 42m.
30s. A. M., sky clear. Fahrenheit's
thermometer at 70 deg. As the time of
the total darkness approached, all ani
mated nature gave signs of approaching
night, man only excepted. He of course
repaired to the most favorable points of
observations; but but the gala day amuse
ments which usually accompany a gen
eral turn out here, were wanting on this
occasion. The hilarity and mirth of
our gay Dons and Senoras gave place to
indications of chastened feelings and ef
emotions of awe at this sublime evidence
of Almighty power. The slaves aband
oned their occupations, and in many
cases they might be seen on their knees
worshipping our great Creator. Nor
were they alone in this. Few conld so
far forget their dependence on God in
the thick darkness which surrounded us
at mid-day, as to refuse to worship and
adore Him.
The darkness came upon us gradually
and seventeen minutes past eleven, the
sun was totally obscured ! There stood
the moon, covering the whole face of the
sun, and presenting the appearance of a
great black hall in the heavens, with rays
of light diverging from it. The rays gave
out a pale aurora like reflection upon the
earth resembling that cast by the moon
when half full. This lasted only fifty
seconds, and at a little past twelve the
eelipsc ended. There was no perceptible
change in the thermometer. A few'seien
tific gentlemen from London and Paris,
sent out by their respective governments,
came here to take observations, and have
been highly pleased with the result, the
day being altogether favorable. They
had all the necessary instruments with
them, and will no doubt publish an in
teresting statement to the scientific
world.
THE STING OF A LOCUST AL
MOST FATAL.
The Washington, Pa., Examiner says:
On Monday of last week, a lady of this
place was stung upon the knuckle of the
third finger of the left hand by a Locust,
which produced immediate swelling in
the vicinity of the wound, and considera
ble pain in the hand and lower part of the
arm. The symptoms seeming somewhat
alarming, a physician Nyas called in, who
upon examination found the finger to be
gready inflamed, and a red streak, about
the one fourth of an inch in diameter, ex
tending from the wound up the arm to
the elbow. In a short time the stripe pro
grossed to the shoulder, tho pain still in
creasing. The physician having cut out
the flesh in which the injury was receiv
cu, anu cauterized it, began a course o
medical treatment for the purpose o
checking the progress of its poisonos aflec
tion in the system. During the night
violent, "shooting pains" were felt at in
tervals, through the chest and other parts
of the body, with sickness at the stomach
and repeated vomiting. By Tuesday
mornings after a good deal of suffering,
the patient became better, and is now en
tirely relieved, save from the weakness
incident to undergoing a course of med
icine. venotiee this matter especially
for the purpose of iurmshing indisputable
proof that Locusts can and will sting, and
that their sting is poisonous.
The Cholera.
The .Montreal Herald says that the
report of a case of Asiatic Cholera in
Quebec has not been confirmed, but cases
ft it i ....
oi orumary unoiera, always yielding to
proper treatment, had been prevalent in
the country. Still the Montreal Herald
thinks it necessary to call on the public
authorities to keep the city clean, and be
prepared lor any exigency. The Chol
era this year has made its appearence in
Persia; has crossed the Russian boundary
to Tiflin, has crossed the Volga, and is
about 1200 miles from St. Petersburg
Darixo Robbery. We learn through
the Ohio State Journal, that a Mr. Brown
of Licking, in that State, was robbed of
$4000, on vcdnesday night of the I Oth
ult, between 12 and 1 o'clock, near the
National road. He was stopped br four
ruffians, his arms fastened behind him,
his feet tied beneath the horse's bellv.
and after hi3 money was taken from him
he was suffered to go wherever his hors
chose to carry him. In this condition
he was found by a neighbor, who releas
ed him. No trace of the robbers has been
discovered.
