In reference to the recent reports that

It has been satisfactorily ascertained
that Mexico is wholly unprepared for

troops in the country east of the Sierra

and it is now found that the forces in
ihe eastern. provinces are as weak, if not
weaker than they have been during the

In a lecture delivered some two or
three years ago by the Hon. Mr. Stur-
gei, ot Uo ton, on Irado and finances, he
referred to the singular changes ot laah
ion. Nankeens and he, were once im
pot tea in large quantities. As lata as
1S20 there was one million of dollars
worth imported; now there is none. In
1S05 Canton crape was first used; in
1810 ten cases were imported; in 1816
there were 21,000 pieces; in 1826 Hie
importation amounted to a million and
a half of dollars; and in 1841 the article
was not imported! Yet the country has
lost nothing by this caprice of fashion,
as our fair country-women appear as
lovely in ninepenny Lowell calico as in
Canton crape. Silk was once imported
in large quantities from China, a cargo
of nearly a million dollars' woith once
was lunded in this country, and now ihe
whole veailv important fiom China
mounta to less than $100,000. Great
hanges have also taken place in regard
io the p iy of our Chinese impoi tant;ons.
In ISIS, 57,000,000 in specie weie car-
ried to China, but now our purchases ate

MURDER AND CANNIBALISM.
We have been informed upon n"o i
mtrioiity, says Ihe Van Bjren, Aikar.
Whig of June 17ih, tbat about ten
lays ago on the great prainea near n.e
Canadian river, a party ol about one
hundred Shawnees and Kicapoo on
horseback, got in puisuii ol a ptrty ol
even Pawneo Mohas on loot, and tl1 it !
they overtook and killed one cf the l it
ter, the others making their escap.
We also learn that the Kicapoos buu.tr
lusly cut tip ant! cat the body of the mur
Jered victim! These fids were prom,. t
lv commonicated to the Chief cf the
Creeks, Gen. Mclnto!), who expressed
his warmest indignation at such ac's ol
cannibalism, and also his fears that such
jiifoiluoate proceedings may lead to a
teneral war among the western tribss of
Indians. Gen. Mcintosh is a great
lover of peace, and it is earnestly hoped
thai his fears may never he realtcsd.
