AMERICA

Owing to the late hour at which the Canada's
mails were delivered, we were unable to publish the
following in our first edition yesterday. morning : .
Puerto Cabello advices of the 2nd ultimo are
received. The country was in a state of revolution.
General Garvaez had. been routed by Pinto, and
some negroes killed. General Garvaez had a force
of 500 men, but was short of arms.. Gen. Zamora
had plundered San Filipe of $lOO,OOO worth of
. property.. Puerto Cabello was in arms, and the
stores closed half of the time. Troops were landing
frontthe east.
By the arrival at New York of the schooner F.
Taft, Captain Bunker, from Savannah la Mar., Jam.,
which port she left March 27th, we learn that the
insurrection among the negroes had been put
down. A British steamer had arrived; and landed
three hundred and eighty troops, for the protec-
tion of the inhabitants and their property.. The
objectionable toll-gates had not yet been rebuilt,
but at a meeting of the magistrates, held on the
26th, it was decided that it should be done at an
early day. The ringleaders .in the late affair had
not been arrested. The port was quite healthy.
In the Echo slaver case, at Charlestyn, the evi-
dence for the prosecution had closed. No testimony
for the defence was offered, nor any cross-examination
of witnesses for Government. It was proved by the
testimony of Lieut. Carpenter, Coxswain Monaghan,
and Captain Marfitt, of the U.S. brig Dolphin, and
by other parties, that the negroes on board the Echo
were founsd in a very distressed and suffering con-
dition) that,Capt. Townsend was a native of New-
port, R.I. ; that the condition of the• vessel, when
captured, was extremely filthy, and that the charts
found in possession of the Captain had marked upon
them, in pencil, a continuous line from the coast of
Africa to the point of her capture.
Another Free-state convention is called in Kansas,
to meet at Big SpringS on the 3rd inst. Ex-Gov.
Stanton has returned to the territory, to. reside per-
manently.
A company of 1,200 miners is at the Kansas gold
; mines, but some fifty only are at work. Most of the

party are engaged iu building houses on the various
town-sites:' The Indians arc gathering in great
numbers in the neighbourhood of the • settlements,
and their presence excites apprehensions of trouble.
New army orders have been issued, positively pro-
hibiting settlers from selling ardent spirits ; forbid
sales of sutler's stores to enlilted men; on credit,,for
any sum exceeding one-third of the soldier's pay for
the current month; suspend the construction of new
buildings at any military station, except those which
can be.built by the labour of the troops; limit the
number of privates for. regimental bands to sixteen,
to be deducted from the legal standard of the several
companies ; order the immediate assignment of 64
1 men to ; and render. obligatory
