AMERICAN PAPERS.

New York papers are received at the North and South
American Coffeehouse to 2d October. The Exchange on
London comes 8f ; United States Bank Shares, 1191.
From the above papers—from the South :
" We have received our files of Charleston papers to the
evening of the 24th of September. They furnish us with
copious details of murders and butcheries committed by the
Indians on defenceless whites in Florida ; the last accounts
were brought by Captain Pennoyer, arrived at Charleston
on the 23d from St. Augustine, who informs us that a large
portion of the troops are suffering from disease, but that
preparations were making to open an early campaign.
There does not appear to be any diminution of the cholera
in Charleston, but the papers do not give any further ac-
counts of the progress of the disease. Another unsuccess-
ful attempt has been made by a Spaniard to rescue Santa,
Anna. Upon being examined, he stated that he was em-
ployed by the Mexican Consul at New Orleans. The
Texian army, about 3,000 strong, had removed their en-
campment near Mataguda Bay."

La Guayra, Aug. 3.
I hasten to transmit to you a translated copy of an order,
or decree, just published, on the subject of banished indi-
viduals, and interesting to our merchants.
BENJAMIN RENSHAW.
REPUBLIC OF VENEZUELA.

" DEPARTMENT OF THE STATE, CARRACAS.—The Go-
vernment having taken into consideration the several com-
munications addressed to it by the Charge d'Affairs of his
Britannic Majesty and the United States, as likewise the
Consul of France, relative to the resolution of the 19th
July last, and perceiving that they have not been able to
avail themselves of the whole terms therein specified, in order
to give the necessary information to the commercial com-
munity of their respective nations, have resolved, firstly,
that the above-mentioned resolution of the 19th of July shall
be no longer in force in all cases wherein the captain of any
vessel bringing into a port of the Republic one or more of
those who fled the country, or were expelled, shall deliver
them over to the local authorities, in order that they may
be dealt with according to the laws of the country.
MONTREAL PAPERS TO THE 29TH SEPTEMBER :—The
paper of the 27th September contains a copy of a long
address of the House of Assembly to his Excellency's
speech :—" We congratulate the English inhabitants of this
province on the inflexibility of its tone. If the Assembly be
sincere, it will consign our truckling ruler to the merited fate
of miserable disappointment. It is generally rumoured that
the Session will not last many days."
FROM THE MONTREAL PAPER OF THE 27th SEPTEMBER :
The address presented by the Assembly in answer to his
Excellency's speech from the Throne, affords much room for
rejoicing to the Constitutionalists in the Province, by their
determination to adhere to their demand for the revolution
of the Legislative Council, before they vote the supplies.
The Assembly have fairly put it out of his Excellency's
power to continue longer his game of see-saw.
FROM MEXICO.--By an arrival at New Orleans from
Vera Cruz, the New Orleans Bee has received letters from
that place to the 27th of August, and from the city of
Mexico to the 18th. Great preparations were making in
Mexico by the Minister of War to equip the army of ope-
ration against Texas. The new Commander-in-Chief would
either be Bustamente or General Bravo. A proclamation
of five and a half columns by the Congress calls all Mexi-
cans to arms, so as to continue the war against Texas.
By the barque Ann Elizabeth, which arrived yesterday
from Vera Cruz, we have received papers four days later,
to 31st of August inclusive, than those from New Orleans.
The dates from the city of Mexico are to the 24th ; but
they furnish nothing of particular interest. The paper
speaks of the perfect union which exists between the Exe-
cutive and Legislative powers of the country, especially
with regard to Texean affairs. A postscript to a letter from
Vera Cruz, dated Aug. 31, to a merchant in New York,
says :—By the mail of to-day, from the city of Mexico, we
have received private intelligence that the Chambers have
passed a law, admitting the Spanish flag into all the ports
of the Republic for all mercantile purposes.

It would appear that Prince Polignac and his family
contemplate sojourning near the metropolis. An agent has
been lookinc, out for a small villa in the vicinity of the Re-
gent's Park, as a suitable residence for the ex-Minister's
establishment.

MURDEROUS ATTACK ON THREE YOUNG MEN.
—On Sunday morning last, about three o'clock, three young
men, who are all respectably connected, named Cutler
George, an engineer, employed in the Union Brewery,
Lambeth ; James Smith, a cooper ; and Samuel Sudd, a
master bricklayer, went out on a shooting excursion towards
the Essex Marshes, when they were met by seven notorious
thieves in the East India-road, Poplar, who were returning
from Barking fair, where, it appears, they had attacked
many persons, and committed several robberies. The fellows
began abusing George and his friends, and challenged them
to fight. They declined the offer, and the thieves attempted
to fasten a quarrel on the young men, and endeavoured to
take away a setter-dog, which George was leading in a
string. He remonstrated with the fellows, but to no effect,
and one of them struck him, on which George knocked
down 'three of them in succession with the butt-end of his
gun, which he drew from his pocket. The others, who
were severely maltreating his companions, and using every
means to rob them of their property, left Sudd and Smith,
and fell upon George, who defended himself for some time ;
but his friends having left him and retreated from the spot,
he was overpowered by numbers and knocked down. The
thieves kicked and beat him in a most savage manner, and
after rendering him quite insensible they rifled his pockets,
from which they took 16s. 6d., all the money he had about
him, and left him for dead on the ground. He called out
loudly for the police while the thieves were beating and
robbing him, but it was some time before any policeman
arrived, who gave every assistance in his power, and by the
aid of Smith and Sudd, who returned after the ruffians had
fled, the unfortunate man, who was bleeding profusely, was
removed to the Abbey Arms, at Plaistow, whence he was
removed next day to his own home. He is in a very de-
plorable condition, and was kicked in a most inhuman
manner about the head and body, and repeatedly jumped
upon. His cowardly assailants made their escape in the
direction of the Eel-pie House before the police made their
appearance, and if George's companions had behaved with
half the courage he displayed, there is no doubt they would
have been all secured and brought to justice. They dropped
a portion of the silver of which they robbed George in the
road during the struggle, and it was picked up by the
policeman.
MR. O'CONNELL'S VOTE ON THE FACTORY
QUESTION.—The Manchester Guardian of yesterday con-
tains copies of the correspondence which has taken place
between Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Condy, and Mr. Oastler, to-
gether with the following extract from a long letter pub-
lished last Saturday by M r Bell, detailing the circumstances
under which the statement respecting Mr. Potter and Mr.
O'Connell was made. " I then added," writes Mr. Bell,
" that I had always considered, that when Mr. O'Connell
coalesced with the bloody and brutal Whigs,' he had bar-
gained to support them on all their ministerial questions,
when they were bard pushed ; and as they felt thernselves,
without his aid, beaten on the factory queition, they had
reminded him of the contract, and that in defiance of all
his solemn pledges, they had demanded their bond." This,'
I said, bad been my impression with regard to Mr. O'Con-
nell's conduct on the factory question, until my recent visit
to Manchester, where I had seen Mr. Condy, who was a
Radical, a sterling friend of the working classes, and who
was the personal friend and great snpporter of Mr.
O'Connell. That, from him, I had learned the fol-
lowing facts. That previous to the late English Whig
subscription for Mr. O'Connell, Mr. O'Connell was
in such embarrassed circumstances, that be must inevit-
ably have retired from Parliament, unless funds could
be raised to meet his engagements ; that, in con-
sequence, his friends had applied to the Whigs, and that
they had commenced -an English subscription, for the sole
purpose of enabling him to remain in Parliament ; and that
Mr. Potter had made a direct bargain with Mr. O'Con-
nell, that if he would support the mill owners on the factory
question, then, that. he, Mr. Potter, would guarantee to
Mr. O'Connell one thousand pounds from Manchester. I
expressed to Mr. Condy that in my opinion Mr. O'Connell
could not be driven from Parliament by poverty, and that
I could hardly suppose he would be such a fool as to make
a direct bargain for his vote. Mr. Condy assured me that
what he had stated was the fact ; that seven hundred
pounds had already been paid down by Mr. Potter to Mr.
O'Connell, and that Mr. Costello, the agent of Mr.
O'Connell (in whose company be, Mr. Condy, had been),
was at that very time in Manchester for the purpose
of looking after the remaining three, hundred pounds."
The Guardian' takes leave of the he and its concoctors,
observing that " the original charge against 111 r. O'Connell,
Mr. Potter, and the "other mill-owners, having been thus
satisfactorily disposed of,
we leave the other parties con-
cerned to settle the rest of the matter amongst themselves,
as best they may. ' The quarrel is a very pretty quarrel
as it stands ;' and the disputants may either leave it or
pursue it, without any interference on our part, and we be-
lieve, without at all interesting the public, who do not care
sixpence about their respective shares in the invention."
An awful instance of sudden death occurred yester-
day to Mr.Meresr. porter to the St. Peter's Grammar
School, .
the poor man arose as usual at half-
' past six o clock, and was proceeding to his customary
duties, when he was seized with a spasm of the heart,
L uttered the exclamation—', God have mercy on my soul,"
and died instantly, before any medical aid could be pro-
, cured. He was a man much respected by every body who
knew him.--A Coroner's inquest was held last evening
before J. H. GELL, Esq., when a verdict was unanimously
returned of—" Died by the visitation of God."
