Considerable excitement was occasioned
in London by the ri.blication of thr follow,
ing in the Herald, on the 5th : Now ban
leached the Admiralty that an American
clipper, the Grapeshot, had cnplnreJ a
'French merchant ship off the Ka.id it Knd;
The Grapeshot cleared out of New Wk
on tho 22Jof March for St. Thorns, with
1,000 packages on board, professedly of
hardware, bnt really containing mulcts,
supposed to be bound to Finland, and railing
debarkation, then for tho Mediterrnnenn.--This
will explain tho story of a Russian iii
nn in in ilm Channel.
The Russian prizes Gcfion Ahlstrnm hnve
been relcasod, having been illegally cap
lured. Two hundred persons arc supposed to have
pciished in the recent collision in the chan
nel between the Urcmenbark Favo.ili', for
Baltimore, and tho American bark Hefner,
from Charleston, S. C, for Antwerp.
FROM THE SEAT OF WAlt.
It is stated that Omar Pacha, on llw ISili
or 19th of April, advanced with 70,000 men
towards Dubrudscha, and a battle took place
with Gen. Ludcr's corps, between Silcstria
and Rassnua.
The Vienna paper Prcssc contains tho fol
lowing: A battlo near Camavoila, on the
23d tilt., which lasted six hours, ended as
unfavorably to the Russians as those of Kos
telli and Kostendje. Tho loss of the Russians
is estimated at 500 killed, 250 taken prison
ers, and 15 guns with thoir horses. The
Turks who were far inferior in numbers to
their enemies, also suffered a heavy loss
The Russians retreated behind Camavoda
during tho night, leaving the Tuiksin posses
sion of the field of battlo.
THE BALTIC FLEET.
Ve have nothing new, of importance from
this quartet. Tim fleet was keeping up a
close blockade of all the Russian ports. No
fighting jet. '
A loiter from Copenhagen, April 27th,
states that Sir Charles Napier, with the line
of-battle ships under the Admiral Coivy and
Chads were keeping up a rigorous blockade
ol the Gulf of Finland, which would render
the escape of a single Russian ship impossi
bio. Numerous prizes had been taken.
Tho Danish government lingers on the side
of Russia. The Swedes are decidedly in fa
vor of the allies. One Swedish line-of-battle
ship, aud four frigates were in commission at
Conenhacen. and more were being mado
ready.
A most formidable force of row boais is
being organized by the Russians to hirass the
invading fleet, from the shallow waters,
Eight hundred armed boats are already en
rolled. All the boats of tho Neva i:cht
Club are placed at tho seivico of the State
A considerable number of them are assem

10 Russian vcssols were also destroyed, and
13 others, laden with ammunition, captured

THE GREEK INSURRECTION.
Battle between the Turks and Greeks the lat
ter routed with much loss.
Athens, April 23
On the 25th Arta was taken by the Tuiks,
and 3,000 insurgents under Karaiskaki were
defeated by the Turks under Omar Pasha
Many Greeks attempting to join the insur
gents have been taken by the French ships,
and have been delivered over to Faud Ef
fendi. Attempted insurrection in Samos has
failed.
RUSSH.
The gold that is usually stored in the cita
del of St. Petersburg is being removed to
Moscow. In St. Petersburg a war tax is lev.
led of 300 silver rubles on merchants of the
"first guild," 160 on merchants of the second
guild, 100 en tho third, and 10 per cent, on
all house rents. The Emperor is extremely
active, and goes backward and forward be

incessantly.

The Czar has offerod to Prussia a treaty of

It is again positively assorted that the

The St. Louis Repnbliean, of the 13lh

Tho packot Fashion arrived from' Louis
ville last pvcning, bringing tho first intelli
gence of tho loss of tho regular packet Pike,
on her way from this port to Louisvillo. The
Pike left our wharf nt P. M , tf Thursday,
having on board ISO passengers, crow, fco.
About 1 o'clock at niyht, when all the pas-
senders were nslecp, and tho boat was tun-
kinsf some fifteen miles nn hciir, sin; struck
siug or rock, which tore her bottom out,
and caused her to sii:k with great inpidily.
Nut mnro than three minutes elapsed beforo

Not knowing tho mindier nf femuh; pas

give you a few prmnine.it ileins in repaid to

is wife, of Missouri, were going on a visit
to their daughter, residing in tho neighbor-
ond of Mailisan, some fifteen miles back ;
they wore drowned. Two other persons who
jumped oveiboard in front of tho wheel
iiuse were lost. It i tho impression of lliu
writer thai filleeti lives were lost liy this
alamity. Thu officers and crew of the boat
acted with great promptness and kindness to
ail on board.
From another gentleman, who. was also a

much greater. In his opinion, from 40 to 60
persons were drowned. He attaches censure
to tho officers, not for their general conduct,
but for their want of manngein!jit in launch
ing Ilm boat, ntul thus contributing to save
life. Ho thinks that four of tho cabin pas
sengers were drowned, and that the main
los3 was from the deck, where K.ere were a
argo number of passengers, of whom no
account can bo given.
The boat careened from the shoro and
numbers went overboard at this moment.
No list of passengers was made out after
they reached tho shore and tho excitement
was over, and it is not probable that the
exact number of the lust will ever bo ascer

Late from El Paso. We find thu account
of further Indian outrages in an extia of the
Silti Atilnnirl T..vn.i rtiililiuhf.il nil ilia .Q'K
instant :
By one of our citizens, John Crawford,
who just arrived ii our city from Fort Elwell,
we learn the following painful intelligence :
Ont Tuesday last, May 2d, a Government
train, consisting of fourteen wagons and one
hundred mules, horses, Sec, left Fort Elwell
(or El Paso, and they had proceeded nbout
five or six miles from tho Fort, when they
were altackeJ by about twenty Indians, who
were well mounted, and armad with bows
and arrows, knives, Hnces, and two rifles.
At tho time of the attack, tho wagon-master,
Mr. Mcintosh was a short distance fiom
the train, in pursuit nf n horse unarmed, and
there was only one weapon of defence among
tho whole train, and that tas an old rifle,
and unloaded.
The Indians mado a charge upon them
and killed the wagon-master and scalped
him, and also killed five others. Some lew
are still missing; they are supposed to, have
been taken prisoners, and aro now with the
Indians, no doubt to undergo the most horri
ble tortures.
All the mules and horses connected with
the train were taken, and the wagons com
pletely destroyed, with their ' contents,
amounting in all to twenty or thirty thousand
dollars. One of the wounded men, from
whom our informant gathered the particulars
of this horrible outrage, arrived in camp at
II o clock, A. M., two hours after the mas
sacre. The Lieutenant in command, not
withstanding ho was sick in bed at the time'
within one hour had four companies armed
anil r(tiipped and in hot pursuit, and is to be
hoped that they will overtake theso savages
and hold an inquest over their dead bodies.

(jy Col. C. M. Straub. The Washing
ton correspondent of the Pennnylcanian,
thus notices the speech of Col. Straub our
member of Congress, recently delivered on
the Nebraska bill. The Colonel seems to
be as popular among his fellow members at
Washington, as he is at home.
Tho debate on the Nebraska bill still goes
on, and will continue to go on until tho close
of lo-morrow's session. The friends of the
bill are in hopes that it will be put on us
final passage in the House on Wednesday
next. Yesterday, Colonel Straub, of Scuyl
kill, obtained the floor and spoke at great
length in la vor of the bill. His remarks weie
lis'eoed to wiih ttie most marked attention,
and when !m concluded his hand was warmly
shaken .by couaiatulatiug friends. Tho
speech was worthy of the Colonel and wor
thy ol tho ilistiiel winch he so ably anil
faithfully represents. It was plain, practical
and to tiio j oint ; while the positions which
ho assumed were illustrated iu that strong,
common sense way which usually carries
conviction witb it. I may as well bero state,
111 a matter of proud lecord for the Colonel,
that by the unaiiimoirs consent of Ihe House,
he was allowed to o n'inue his speech be
youd the hour allotted under iuw rule. This
lavor wis never before granted lo a member
of ihe Huse except in one case, that of Gov
ernor McDowell, of Virginia.

The Military Called Out Wo learn from
the Worcester Spy, that that city was the
scene of much excitement last avcnlrg, on
account of the re-appearance in tho slreots
of John S. Orr, the street preacher, and his
prompt arrest nnd commitment to the watch
house by Ihe police. Quite a large" crowd
collected about the watch house, and began
making boisterous demonstrations. A stone
was also thrown through the police office
window. Tho crowd removed to Ihe Com.
mon, where ihey were addressed by Dexter
F. Parker and some others, in favor of Orr.
Subsequently Ihey returned to tho lock-np,
and were ordered to disperse by the City
Marshal, bul they refused to do so, and Ihe
riot acl was read by Ihe Mayor. This had
no effect, and several arrests were made.
Whnl followed is thus relaled by tho Sjy.
,:Finding the crowd by no means disposed
lo heed the authority of Ihe Chief Magis
trate, and .1 portion of it evidently disposed
to dispute the gronnd with the police, tho
Mayor ordered out the City Guards, and at
about half-past 9 o'clock that company ap
peared upon the ground, armed nnd equip
ped, and repoitcd themselves ready for ser
vice. They were posted upon the sidewalk
in front of tho police oflice, nnd having load
ed their pieces with ball cartridges, in pre
sence of the crowd, the Mayor again, in the
name of Ihe Commonwealth, requested all
good citizens to retire to their homes.
"As Tittle disposition was shown to heed
the commands of thu Major, two detach
ments, of police officers, and citizens, headed
by City Marshal Rakjr, and High Sheriff
Kichanlson, commenced making nrresls
Sheriff Richmond spoke civilly to a man
named, Wm. Hemple, who was standing on
tho sidewalk, asking him to go home, tho
only response lo this intimation was a severe
blow upon the head of the Sheriff with a
stone, which Hemple held in his hand. The
Sheriff seized tho offender, who made a des
perate resistance, but he was speedily secu

were arresled, but by eleven o'clock order

the camp of an omiurnting party, nnd being
somewhat intoxicated from spiiils sold to
them by tho whiles, got into a squabble, and
ihe Indians were expelled. The emigrants
soon started a story that the Indians at
tempted to murder and rob thorn. Tho tic
count continues :
A company of forty or fifty mounted and
well arhied men weie soon in pursuit of
them. One of the Indians was riding a
pony, whilst two of them were walking, one
ol whom was shot down like a hunted wolf,
the other leaped upon Ihe pony, and rode
forward with every pussiblo speed, but were
overtaken by the blood-hounds, who fired a,
shower of lead at them. Two were killed
dead on the spot, and stripped of their guns
and other apparatus, which, together with
Ihe pony, was secured ami carried off trium
phantly lo camp by the assailants. The
third wns carried over the river last night in
a dying slate, nnd is donbtiess gone to tho
"Hunting Giniiud" ere this.
We have seldom heard of a more dastardly
or cold-blooded murder. It has aroused the
indignation not only of the Indians, but of
all our citizens as far as we have heard an
expression. The company was from Illinois,
and crossed the river to-day.
The same paper speaks of another murder
of an Indian, who was found lying by the
road-side between Council Bluffs and Carter
ville. This is attributed to some reckless
emigrant. And a report is given of a "skir.
mish over Ihe river, in which eight or ten
Indians were killed."
