Yellow Tever at Tampico!
BALTIMORE, I'eb. 22, 1841.
We learn, by the New Orleans papers
received this evening, that a rumor ex
ists in that city, that the yellow fever
has broken out among our troops at Tam
pico. We sincerely hope that there is
not a shadow of truth in such a report ;
but the Picayune seems to countenance
it.

NEWS FROM MEXICO,
Loss of the Transport Ship Ondiaka—
Rumors of an Engagement between the
Mexican Cavalry and Colonel Price's
Missouri Regiment—Reports of a Com
pany of the Third artillery being cut
off by a strong Mexican Force—.hfexi•
can Commissioners said to have left the
Capitol to adjust all Difficulties—Re
port of the Yellow Fever Confirmed—
Preparations for moving from Tampico
—arrest of the Officers of the Ondi•
aka.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21, 1817
Tampico dates to the 6th had been
received at New Orleans,
by an arrival
there. The ship Ondiaka (a transport)
had been lost about thirty miles south
of Tampico, having volunteers onboard
under Col. De Russy. The troops and
crew were safely landed, and had since
arrived at Tampico, except the captain
of the ship; and it was not known that
he had left the ship at all. It was said
but not believed, that part of the volun
teers had fell into the hands of•the Mex-
icons
On hearing the loss of the Ondiaka,
the steamer Undine, with a company of
the Third Artillery on board, was des-,
patched from Tampico to render assist
ance.
The Undine had not returned, but it
was rumored that this company had been
cut off by a body of 800 Cavalry ; and
there is another rumor that the Mexi
cans had attacked the volunteers after
i'anding, and that this had led to their
dispersal and forced march to Tampico.
These rumors were doubted, but they
came through three different channels.
Two ships Were off Tampico on the
flub, with troops ptt board, and a report
had been received at Tampico by a com
mercial house, that a fierce encounter
had taken place between the Mexicans
and a portion of Gen, Kearney's com
mand, supposed to be the Missourians
under Col. Price. Many represented as
lost on both sides, but the Americans
had proved victorious, and taken posses
sion of Chihuahua.
Rumors had reached Tampico, under
stood to be from the squadron, that coin
missioners had been sent from the city
of Mexico to arrange difficulties between
the two governments. Letters received
at New Orleans, also mention a battle
near Chihuahua, and the news received
more credit than Mexican intelligence
has hitherto received. Gen. Patterson
is of the opinion that the only fight of
consequence must have been in the pass
leading to the city, and tho loss sustain
ed by the United States' forces very
light. It was supposed that Gen. Scott
would not be ready to leave Tampico for
into or three weeks.
We have confirmation of the report
that a malignant fever was prevailing in
the Hospital at Tampico, and that the
soldiers were suffering in consequence.
'lt was pronounced by the physician to
'be a mild type of the yellow fever, at
tributable to their moderate use of the
fruits of the country, Gen. Patterson
had issued an order in regard to the ex-
orbitant demands for rents and dues,
and all had in consequonce come down
to the original value. The General has
authentic information of much ne
glect on the part of the officers and
crew of the Ondiaka, and he will keep
them in custody until the matter is in
vestigated.- Orders had been received
at Tampico on the 6th, supposed to be
from Gen. Scott, to get all the wagons
in readiness. The Quarter Master was
very busy, and wagons were preparing
sufficient to transport the baggage and
provisions of the entire force at Tampi
co. The force were evidently preparing
for a long march.

WASEINGTON, Feb. 25, 1847.
By arrivals at New Orleans, Tampico
dates to the Sth, Brazos to the 6th, Mat
amoras to the sth, Camargo and Vera
Cruz to the 2d, and City of Mexico to
the 29th ult., have been received.
A detachment of 80 of the Kentucky
and Arkansas Cavalry were cut off 3b
miles beyond Saltillo by Gen. Minon.—
•;They formed an out-post, and were sur
prised and taken prisoners, without re
sistance. Mnjs. Borland, Gaines, and
Cassius M. Clay are among the prison
ers.
The capture of Lieut. Ritchie and ten
dragoons, with despatches from General
Scott to Gen. Taylor, is confirmed. One
account says they were cut off between
Monterey and Victoria, and that all were
killed.
• The despatches are said to have con
tained the whole plan of operation. An
other account states that the ten drag
oons had reached Victoria in safety, but
that there was no doubt of the death of
Lieut. Ritchie. He was lassoed and
dragged across a cornfield at full speed,
An officer of the Ohio Regiment, sup
posed to be Lieut. Ruder ) had been
murdered near Chickirom, and awfully
mutilated by the Mexidans. Get'. Scott
was to embark immediately, his desti
nation supposed to be the Island of Lo
bos, about 75 miles from Vera Cruz.—
The attack of Vera Cruz, it was sup
posed, would take place about the Ist of
March.
Col. Harney had been sentenced to be
reprimanded, but Gen. Scott had remit
ted the sentence, and ordered him to re
sume duty.
he news in regard to the volunteers
wrecked on board the ship Ondiaka was
less favorable than was anticipated. The
detachment sent to their assistance are
said to have been made prisoners with
all the volunteers. Capt. Magruder's
forces had started for the wreck, and
the whole brigade, it was said, were to
follow. The main body of the volunteers
wrecked, had certainly not reached Tam
pico, and at the latest accounts from
them, they were engaged in a conflict
with a body"of Mexicans far superior in
numbers and equipments. The ships
Statesman, Prentice and Catharine were
off the bar at Tampico on the 9th, filled
with troops.
The Mississippi Volunteers on board
the Statesman, were suffering terribly
by sickness, and dying daily in great
numbers. The New York regiment on
board the Catharine were in good health.
There were about. 1,000 troops at Tam
pico, composed of regulars and volun
teers. Lieut. Gibson, of the 2d Artille
ry,died on the 6th inst. of fever.
The rumored assassination of Santa
Anna turns out to be unfounded, so also
his active opposition to the confiscation
of the Church property, though the law
appears to be a dead letter,
The last accounts state that he had
left for Tula, at the head of the Mexican
force.
Gen. La Vega had been appointed to
the command of Vera Cruz.
The Congress of the State of Vera
Cruz had called on the people to resist
at all hazards, the invasion of the Ame
ricans.
The Congress of San Luis had passed
a decree authorizing the Governor to
negotiate a loan in 48 hours, forced or
voluntary.
Some further accounts of the capture
of Chihuahua have been received. The
Mexican account gives over 100 killed.
Another AccOuht tnentions that an action
had taken place in the immediate vicini
ty of El Passo del Norte, in which our
troops were entirely successful. The
Mexican report states that the Ameri
cans were in the possession of El Passo
with 600 Cavalry and 400 infantry, on
the 27th. The loss on each side is not
stated.
The Vera Cruz indicador of the 31st
says, that Gen. Velogea meditates an at
tack on Tampico, and yet the Mexican
troops were all in a deplorable situation.
The same paper contains a communi
cation from Santa Anna, declaring that,
although he has entirely renounced the
Presidency, he will oppose with all his
strength any attempt to disturb the
peaceable state of things in any State of
the Republic.
LATER.—The latest intelligence from
the Volunteers wrecked on the Ondiaka
is, that Gen. Cos had arrived off the
wreck with about 1000 troops from Tus
pan, Tamnaqua, Papanda, and summon
ed Col. De Russy to surrender, which
being refused, an engagement took place,
lasting until 10 o'clock at night. The
result was unknown. Gen. Cos had
stationed an advance of cavalry and in
fantry, to prevent the arrival of rein
forcements. Gen. Pillow's brigade had
been sent by Gen. Patterson to their re
lief.

The folio tving is an extract from a letter
of his, in which he said :
"When my country is involved in a

with or in opposition to my opinions, 1
believe it my duty as a citizen to stand
up for my country, and help her through
the struggle. In response, therefore, to
your fourth inquiry, I state, if elected, I
shall "vote for all such supplies of men
and money as may be necessary to pros

the future," 1 am also willing to apply
the additional stimulus of increased pay
to the soldiers."

The steamship Cambria arrived at
Boston about 4 o'clock on Saturday af
ternoon. She sailed from Liverpool on
the 4th inst., and her news is therefore
1 . 5 days later than that received by the
Sarah Sands,
The commercial intelligence will be
found to be deeply interesting and
im
portant.
There was a decline of four to five
shillings per quarter in the price of
Wheat in the Liverpool and London
markets on the Ist inst. The stock of
flour at Liverpool alone was 500,000
barrels. There was a prevailing opin
ion that the British corn-growers had
large stocks, which the temporary sus
pension of navigation laws, and the re
peal of the impost duty, tending to
check speculation, would, if it was as
sumed, produce a re-action both in prices
and also in the extent of future opera
tions.
At Liverpool on the 2d, prices were 4
shillings per quarter lower on Indian
corn, four shillings on flour, two shil
lings per load on wheat, since the pub
lication of the weekly circular on the
20th.
The market for provisions was firm.
The accounts from the manufacturing
districts were still unsatisfactory. In
cotton fabrics only a very small business
was being transacted, and prices very
irregular.
The Pope of Rome has contributed
one thousand Roman crowns from his
private purse for the relief of Ireland.
The government of France has ad
dressed a circular to the French consuls
and agents in Mexico, that French sub
jects are not to make use of any letters
of marque delivered by the Mexican go
vernment.
One hundred thousand barrels of flour
having been ordered for France in the
United States, thirty-five thousand brls.
reached Havre in eight vessels. The
rest was shortly expected.
The state of commercial and moneta
ry affairs, since the sailing of the last
steamship, had been one of extreme pe
culiarity and interest. The drains up
on the Bank of England to meet the de
mands caused by the extensive importa
tions of grain and all other sorts of pro
visions into the Kingdom, had induced
the government to raise their rates of
interest. This caused business gene
rally to be dull.
The Iron market was not so brisk as'
last reported, further reduced rates hav
ing been submitted to for pig descrip
tions f buyers having been induced to
purchase with more freedom. Prices of
manufactured Iron continued high.
There appears to be no mitigation in
the accounts of suffering in Ireland.--
The amounts being raised by subscrip
tion and otherwise, for the relief of the
sufferers, were, however, very liberal,
and will, when applied, do much to alle
viate their sufferings.
We have, from France, accounts of
more disturbances, and of the threaten
ed famine.
Accounts from Prussia arc almost as
distressing as those from Ireland.

PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS,
Ireland and the Scheme for its Relief.
—The session of Parliament commenced
on Tuesday week, with the speech of
the Queen from the Throne.
The debate which followed the speech
produced some strange results. All the
old party landmarks disappeared under
the influence of the calamity which has
overtaken Ireland. The Protectionist
lenders were found sailing in the same
boat with the Ministerial party, and the
members of the late Goternment etp
peared to coincide with all that was
said and all that is to be done.
On Thursday, 21st ult. Lord John
Russell proceeded to develope the scheme
to open the ports for the admission of
foreign grain, duty free; and, in the
course of• doing so, showed that the
freights on the importation of corn had
seriously risen, and that, to enable this
country to compete with its neighbors
in the markets of the world, it was ne
cessary not only to repeal the duty, but
to suspend the Navigation Laws. The
suspension of the Corn Law, according
to the ministerial intention, was only to
extend to the Ist of September next.
On Monday, Jan. 25th, Lord John
Russell brought forward his great scheme
for the temporary relief and the perma
nent improvement of Ireland. Money
is to be advanced for seed for the next
crops. Loans will be made to such of
the Irish landlords as wish to improve
their waste lands ; or the lands will be
bought by Government at a fixed price.
In cases, however, where the landlords
will neither improve nor sell, powers
will be taken by the Government to buy
at a valuation. For the reclamation of
waste lands, a million sterling is to be
advanced. The lend so purchased, will
be resold in small lots, for the purpose
of creating a yeoman proprietory, whose
status will fill up the existing void be
tween the peasant and the present race
of landlords. Drainage is to be exten
sively carried out. These may be con-

sidered the permanent features of the
scheme.
The temporary projects of relief are
a new Poor Law; relief committees to
administer fetich.) and superintend the
distribution of food without exacting
work in return ; giving out-door relief
at the poor-houses to the aged and infirm
paupers; and other measures calculated
to mitigate the severity of the present
visitation.
IRELAND
The eyes of the nation are fixed on
Ireland, where death is doing its work
through the instrumentality of starve ,
tion. The details are horrible--sicken
ing. The poor try to escape, and thou
sands find their way daily to England
and Scotland. Liverpool and Glasgow
are overrun with these poor creatures.
In the former town as many as 100,000
have receitcd out door relief In a weeks
A determined effort is being made by
the wealthy classes in England to assist
the Irish by means of private subscrip
tions, and by abstaining as much as pos
sible from any superfluous consumption
of food. A Queen's letter was address
ed to the ministers of the Church of
England, requiring subscriptions to be
made, and large sums have been thus
collected in every place of worship, and
by every form of faith in the kingdom.
Unhappily, the state of the Highland
poor is nearly as bad as that of the des
titute Irish. Individuals contribute hand
somely to soften the rigors of the calam
ity; and the first act of the Prime Min
ister, on meeting Parliament, is to dip
largely into the public purse for the same
object.
But the distress is not confined to
Scotland and Ireland; there is at pre
sent much existing in England.
FRANCE
