AMERICAN PAPERS.

LOUISVILLE, (KENTUCKY), MAY 26.-Letters
have been received at this place from St. Louis, which state,
that L. W. Boggs, at the head of a trading party among the
Osage Indians, and a gentleman of respectability, had given
pinformation to his friends in St. Louis, that an express had
reached Council Bluffs from the Governor of the province of
' New Mexico, Bascaza, announcing his intention of visiting this
country in the course of the present summer, with a view to
form commercial relations between the two governments. It
is further said that he will be accompanied by 1,500 men, for
the purpose of negociating (through our agents) with the In-
dians, in the intervening country ; and if they should be un.
'tilling to come to terms of amity, the Governor declares his
intention to chastise them for the depredations annually cons,
milted by them on the Spanish settlements.
The Mexican trading party was to have left Fort Osage on
the 24th inst. It consisted of about 100 men, who took with
them a number of waggons loaded with merchandise, to the
value of about 30,000 dollars, and a piece of ordnance, trans-
ported on wheels ; and it was believed with strict discipline the
party would he able to repel any attack that might be made on
them by the Indians.
FROM MEXICO.—The schooner Eagle arrived at Baltimore
on Monday, in 18 days from Alvarado. Left the schooner
Macdonough, Ryan, of New York, captured by the Mexican
schooner Iguala, and sent in for adjudication. She was
hound from Ilavannah for New Orleans, and had touched at the
coast for water and provisions. The brig Liberty, Myrick, of
New York, from I'ensacola, bound to Alvarado, with a valu-
able cargo of dry goods, was captured off the bar by the Iguala,
and sent in. Capt. Myrick reports that he had been extremely
ill treated by the Commander and Officers of die Iguala.
The United States brig Spark, Lieutenant Corn. Newton,
was at Sacrificios, and expected daily at Alvarado, to convoy
the vessels with money as far as Key West. The Weazel was
daily expected from Tampico.
Mexico remains in a perfectly tranquil state, under the di-
rection of the Sovereign Congress, who had come to the reso-
Ilution of naming a Dictator, for the purpose of preventing
further internal commotion in the country: The eyes of the
nation are directed to General Bravo, as being a proper person
to fill this important station.
General Filisola has been appointed Captain-General of the
province of Mexico, and General St. Anna has been intrusted
with high command on the coast, a measure tending highly to
the safety of the nation. General Victoria remains Commander-
in-Chief of the province of Vera Cruz, with a large body of
troops at his command.
News was received at Alvarado on the 14th of May that
Merida (the capital of Yucatan) had joined the Mexican con-
federacy, and made peace with Campeachy. The coast of
Yucatan, as well as the Captain-Generalship of that province,
was embraced in the command of General St. Anna.

The loans which have been negociated by the British agents
are now considered as confirmed and established; and their
bills are commanding in Mexico 3s. 3d. to 3s. 9d. sterling per
dollar. Senor Meson., the Mexican agent in London, has pre-
sented his nation with his commission on the contracts, amount-
ing to 400,000 dollars.
Passengers in the Eagle—Messrs. Charles Burke, George
Lyman, and Midshipman A. K. Long, of the United States
Navy.—(Baltimore American.)

SHOCKING AcctocNT.—Yesterday afternoon,
about three o'clock, a melancholy and dreadful
catastrophe occurred at Messrs. Matthews', the
cutlers, in King's [lead-court, Gough-square.—
A powerful one-horse engine is used to set va-
rious other wheels in motion for grinding, &c.
which are all acted upon by one immense wheel,
extending to the top of the house, and within a
few inches of the girder that supports the roof.
Elias Matthews, a line boy about seven years of
age, laid hold of the leather belt of the machine,
for the purpose, as is supposed, of hav-
ing a ride, when he was carried upon the
wheel to the top, and jammed between the wheel
and the girder. A neighbour, who saw the trans-
' action, immediately stopped the horse, and has-
' tened to the spot; the child was then alive, and
every possible assistance was promptly given by
attempted to saw the
all the workmen—they
girder, so as to ease it ; but it was all in vain—
the child in a few minutes was a breathless
corpse. The agitation of the father, who was
witness to the last struggle of his expiring child,
eau be better conceived than described ; and
the house and shop, then in active operation by
a great many workmen and boys, is now closed
—a house of mourning.
DEATH BY II IGHTING.-Yesterday forenoon
a pitched battle took place in Copenhagen-fields,
betwen,Smith, a coachman, and a cad or water-
man who attends hackney coach stands. They
quarrelled, we understood, respecting the de-
livery of a parcel, which the coachman claimed
as his perquisite. They adjourned to Copen-
hagen-fields, attended by their seconds, and
fought for two hours and twenty-five minutes,
when they were both so dreadfully punished that
at last they could not stand. Smith was carried
in a senseless state off the ground on a shutter
to the Islington Infirmary, where a medical
gentleman attempted to bleed him, but no
blood flowed ; he was then put into a warm bath
where be showed some symptoms of recovery.—
Ile however died about four o'clock in the after-
noon, after having discharged upwards of two
quarts of blood. The antagonist of the deceased
was also moved off on a shutter perfectly insen-
sible—and the seconds have disappeared. The
mother and wife of the deceased arrived on the
ground just as he was being laid on the shutter,
and they declared it was his birth-day, but that
he would never see another, and they both fainted
away, and were with difficulty upon recovery
torn from the body of the deceased,
