The Africa passed the royal mail steam-ship
America, of the same line, at 8 p.m., on the 27th

The 'United States revenue cutter Washington
intercepted a vessel leaving the harbour of New
York on. the Bth, with nearly 60 persons On board,

A di)spatch from New Orleans states that cholera
has appeared among the United States troops at
Baton Rouge in an epidemic form, and that several
deaths had already occurred, and some fifty of the
soldiers were sick.
The new steam-frigate, Merrimac, was success.
fully 1 aunched on the 14th from the Charlestown
,Navy -Yard. An immense crowd of spectators
witne:w ed the spectacle.
The. .New York Herald, speaking of the Kinney
expedition, says the Vixen is cruising now outside
the h: Lrbour, while the City of Boston is in the
neigh b ourhood of Hurigate to intercept her should
she a ttempt to sail by that way. The revenue
cutte r Washington also is stationed off Governor's
Island, with a similar intent.
Full. details of the news from Mexico to the sth
ult. had been received. The Government troops
had -rmaaquished the revolutionists in several en-
counters, and the progress of the conquerors was
sign: aised by that bloodthirsty ferocity which is the
char aeteristic of Mexican warfare. Vigorous mea-
sure s had been taken to quell the insurrection.
We have ad-vices from the. Rio Grande to the 10th

THE' `UNITED STATES BLOCKADED-CARD FROM COLONEL

KIN NEY.

It; i appears there has been a mistake in supposing that
the A dministration had raised the siege of the steamer
Unite d States. Such is not the case. The blockading
squr►d ron has imperative orders not to permit the United
States to leave this port, no matter how apparently pa-
cific er intentions may be. According to the statement
of osi e of the officers attached to the blockading squad-
ron, -6. he Vixen is cruising now outside the harbour, while
the (Di ty of Boston is in the neighbourhood of Hurlgate,
to it st, ;rcept her should she attempt to sail by that way.
The r evenue cutter Washington also is stationed off Go-
vern xi r's Island, with a similar intent. The Administra-
tion s under the impression.that though Colonel Kinney
has ss riled, his force, together with their stores, have not,
and h ence the determination to prevent the fleet little
stea rn .er from leaving port.
It i • will be noticed that the time of Colonel Kinney's de-
part u re (7 o'clock on the evening of the 6th inst.} was
whe .r the mass meeting was being held at the foot of
Eig b t-street, to protest against the blockade. One of
the officers engaged in the besieging force informed us
yesi ta-day that he saw the schooner Emma sail, attended
by : t, tow boat, but of course had not the slightest sus.
pici. ) n that the suppositious fillibuster was on board.
T b e following from Colonel Kinney bears date the
day I iefore he sailed :
