A
supplement to the Western Australia Chronicle
ea the authority of accounts from Freemantle to a
=sat date, received by way of Singapore, thus an"
.oes the discovery of copper in Western Aus-
tralia :
It 'lsla our pleasing duty to present our readers with

intelligence brought with
of such important disclosures.
published, and ere this in the k
we will not wait till next month to announceit's=
only state that we receive the news from the first-rate au-
thority, and that our correspondent is a gentleman of con-
mderable geological rme
By the Lightning, by way of Singapore, we have letters
from Freemantle to the 14th of September, containing the
glorious news of the discovery of copper ore in Wcstern
Australia. Treading on the heels of the startling announce-
ment we made last month of the discovery of coal, these
reports must prepare our readers for the development of
rich mineral treasures in the colony. We publish the news
as we received it :

(rum ova (ex/n[OIUL opal's/roamer.)
" The hiquwer his lately contained rumours of the discovery of
copper. I have this morning visited Mr. Davey, of FIVIUMIIIie, on
whose land the ore has been found. I have seen several specimens,
and their solution in acids, of undoubted topper, brought down from
the neighbourhood of the river Avon. Mr. Davey's cautious habits,
and general character for veracity, enable me to give NU reliance to
his statement.
Another report states that Mr. Davey bad discovered
copper ore lying on the surface of his land. He had smelted
it, and obtained a small portion of copper, but was about to
make further investigations when the news left.

Intelligence is said to have reached Boston by tele-
graphic dispatch, previous to the departure of the
Britannia with the last American mails, which, if true,
may have an important influence upon the under-
standing now subsisting between this country and
Mexico. It was announced, on the authority of a
letter received by way of New Orleans at New York,
subsequent to the sailing of the steamer, that Santa
Anna had seized upon 2,000,000 of dollars intended
for British capitalists, while in transit tp Tampico for
shipment to England. It was also mattrthat dissension
prevailed in the Mexican cabinet, and that another
revolution had been attempted by parties favourable
to annexation with the United States, but that Pre-
sident Salas had addressed the mob, and succeeded in
quieting them. These statements were commu-
nicated in a letter from Boston, but it is hardly neces-
sig-Arre say that they require confirmation.
mail,
are private &somata. too, ba the last
which represent the state of the Awarl. way le be
somewhat critical. General Taylor was far in advance
of his resources, and in a position which could afford
him no fresh supplies. The Mexicans had dismantled
Saltillo previous to evacuating, and then destroyed
everything on the road between that fortress and San
Luis Potosi, where it was understood that Santa Anna
would make his stand; thus placing between the
Mexican forces and the invading army nearly three
hundred miles of an almost impracticable route,
through rugged mountains and across arid plains,
affording neither water nor provisions for man or
beast. Under such circumstances ; it was scarcely
possible that General Taylor could advance, and to
maintain himself at Saltillo would be to waste both
time and resources. The state of affairs at Monterey
was equally unsatisfactory. The American supplies
had to be brought from Camargo, along nearly two
hundred miles of unprotected road, and were liable to
be cut off at any moment by the Rancheros, who were
in such force iu the immediate neighbourhood that an
active guerilla war was fully expected, for which the
nature of the country was peculiarly adapted.
Viewed in any light, the prospects of the
invading army were discouraging, and the unfortunate
state to which matters have been brought is certain
to be charged upon the administration at Washington,
who will have to render a heavy account upon the
meeting of Congress. When the last accounts left
there were divisions in the Cabinet. The elections
had gone against them, and as the Mexican war was
becoming unpopular, there was reason to expect some
important changes.

We extract the following from the Delhi Gazette
of the 24th of October, as it contains the latest news
from the army of Brigadier Wheeler :
We have letters from the several camps in the Punjanb,
from which we glean the following particulars :—Brigadier
Wheeler's detachment of the field force serving " be-
tween the Beene and Chenab," according to the words of
the general order, which moreover hints in unmistakable
terms at the possibility of some stirring work occurring
beyond the Butte', and which hints are probably connected
with the events considered likely to occur on the withdrawal
of our troops from Lahore,—Brigadier Wheeler's detach-
ment, we any, was, according to our latest advice, from
his camp (the 17th instant), still at Kulloowal, on the
left bank of the Chenab (not the Ravee, as a business
correspondent on the spat most unaccountably calls it).
A surmise is hazarded by one of our friends that the
detachment would cross the Chenab in progress to
Bkeembur on being joined by the force from Lahore
under Sir John Littler, but then they had not heard of
Sheik Bmaum-ood-Dean's second promise of surrender. Pre-
parations were certainly in progress for moving the camp
to a ghat six miles below Kulloowal on the 18th instant, in
consequence, we presume, of the Chenab at Kulloowal
having, on examination, proved very difficult of passage,
owing to the numerous quicksands. The 15th Native In-
fantry and the Horse Artillery would, under the arrange-
ments then in contemplation, cross on the same day (the
18th'), and the remainder follow on the 19th. It is quite a ,
new and pleasing feature in our operations to find that mili-
tary movements ate to be carried on until the results of the
negotiations ere placed beyond the pale of contingent pro-
babilities. When the Sheik is in our camp, and Gholab
Singh in possession of
winnow,Cashre hen will our troops retro-
grade ; were they to do or even to halt, thc wily
rebel would give out that we dared not advance, probably
recall his promise, and laugh at us for our pains, as has too
frequently been the case on previous occasions. The present
regime has improved in these matters.
The detachment under Colonel Sibbald, instead of occupy-
ing Samba, as previously arranged, was posted at a place
named Jusmeerghur, the exact position of which we have
been unable to trace on the map ; it must, however, be be-
tween Jesrowta and Samlut, possibly further in the plains
than either. We left them, at our last mention of this
detachment, on the right bank of the Ravec (which they
crossed with the assistance of one boat only), on the 7tk.
On the Bth they reached Jerrowta ; on the 9th changed
position for the better protection of the place, as well as fur
water. On the 10th the detachment marched to Jusmcer-
ghur, expecting to find a large and noble fort in which to
take up their abode, instead of which it turned out to be d
a
dirty ruined place, overgrown with jungle, which it woul
take several days to clear away. The fort, moreover, was
commanded from several places by ginjals even. The squad-
ron of the Bth Irregular had moved on to Sumbhut (?), to
rejoin their head quarters, and the whole corps, with the 24th
and 59th, and four guns of No. 17 Light Field Battery, were
to push on to join Brigadier Wheeler. the roads are
spoken of as very fair indeed.
Since the above was written, we have learned by letters
front Lahore to the 19th inst. that the issue of the sego-
ciations with Sheik Emaum-ood-been had been made pub-
licly known at the capital. The 23rd of October had been
fixed for the departure of the Sheik from Cashmere in pro-
Frees to the plains. It may, however, still be protracted,
in which ease the terms granted to him will, of course, be
made less and less favourable to him, without affording him
the chance of any corresponding advantage. The same let-
ters further inform us that the force of General Littler had
progressed hut. slowly, that the Ferorepore troops were en-
camped outside the town of Lahore, and that Blase Ram
Singh had died on the 18th inst.
