Boatwright, or any other American citizen should have
expressed their dissatisfaction. But we shall not seek
arguments to prove what the bare facts evince ; and we
call upon the friends of this man and the citizens gene

that ought to demand its highest.consideration.—Natchi-

FURTHER FROM MEXICO.

Havanah papers, received at New Orleans, contain ad-
vices from the city of Mexico to the 2d of September, at
which time insurrection was in full progress. General
Valencia made a grito 'on the 31st of August, for the con-
stitution of 1824, being at the head of a considerable mi-
litary force. The alarm quickly sproad, and a number
of edifices commanding the citadel, were occupied by the

insurgents.
Bustamente and his party fortified themselves in the
palace, but up to the itd of September no attempt to
lodge the insurgents had been made, Valencia content-
ing himself with holding his position until the arrival of
Santa Anna, and Bustamente not daring to attack him.
The students at the military academy had joined Va-
lencia. His force was more than 1,600 men, with 18
pieces of cannon—that of Bustamente about 1,000.
YELLOW FEVER AT Pc,NsAcoLA.—We learn by a
gentleman from Pensacola, that on the 17th inst. the
health of that city was improving. There were only a
few cases on that day. Out of a population of eight
hundred there had been eleven deaths. Of the officers
and crew of the Levant, every one had been on the sick
list, and no less than fifteen deaths had occurred. And
on board the French fleet there had been ten deaths,
including the fleet surgeon and the carpenter of the
Sabine. The squadron had sailed for the West Indies.
One death at the Navy-yard had cast a gloom over the
whole place. On the 15th, Rubert Meade, secretary to
Commander Dallas,- died after an illness of only thirty
holm!, He was esteerned by all who knew him. He was
a son of the American Consul at Cadiz, and brother of
Lieut. Meade, of the navy.—American Paper.
FROM THE Rio PLATA.—The Arcturus, at Boston,
from Buenos Ayres, brings dates to the 12th of August.
Of political news there is nothing of interest. There
was a report that the British Government had offered to
mediate between Rosas and the Monte Videan Govern-

ment ; but the opinion was generally entertained that
unless driven by some serious reverses, General Roses
would never listen to its overtures. The following no-
tice is given to masters of vessels :--" Masters of vessels
coming to this port should be careful to make out their
manifests with black or red ink, as otherwise they are
liable to be much delayed and perplexed on entering at
the Resguardo and Custom-house. Should any of the
papers required be written with blue ink, the officers in
attendance positively refuse to admit the vessel to entry,
until fresh copies are. written out in a colour more conge-
nial to their politiCal feelings and taste."
Mon I'ntcE Trott A SLAVt.,---We quote the statement
from the Courier.of last evenink,:;--A curious scene was
witnessed to-day at'the St. LoutS. Exchange. The city
marshal, at the usual hour, proCeeded to the sale of a
female slave, seized in the suit of E. Johns, a free man of
colour, versus Lockwood; a free woman of colour. The
plaintiff, we are told, is either the husband or brother of
the slave under seizure, and showed not a little anxiety
to become the purchaser. The bidding commenced—a
white man in the crowd bidding against the man of
colour, as high as the sum of 7,800 dols. The coloured
man, however, bid 8,000 tiols., and the slave was adjudged
to be his property. The bystanders asked what made the
white man go SQ far I-I'd he a pique against the hus-
band or brother? or was it par amour for one or the other
of the females?--New Orleans Bulletin, Oct. 16.

BRAZILIAN MINING COMPANY.
A Meeting of this Company took place yesterday at the
City of London Tavern, for the purpose of receiving the
accounts from the Secretary, and other statements rela-
tive to the mines in the possession of the Company.
There Was a large latent-lance of Proprietors at two
o'clock, the hour at which the meeting was called.
J. WALKER, Esq., took
.the chair, and called on
The SECRETARY to read the minutes of the last meet-
ing, which were COttlitinetli He then read the Report of
the Company; which stated the prospects of the mines
were looking up; belt that they were unsettled.
Still it CO necessary to adopt the strictest
economy. The accounts showed a plotit fdt the current
year of upwards of 4,0001. The Directors had every
reason to.believe that the accounts would show in future
years. a gradual increase in the profits.—(Hear, hear.)
The mines had yielded 4101bs. of gold, realising the
sum of 14,000/, after paying insurance, freight, &c.
After a short discUSSion the' Report was received, and
the itteetihg separated at'about three o'clock.

`TRAGICAL EVENT.
70 TIM EDITOR OIL ThE SUN.
Sin,—A most tragical event took place at the Burnley
Barracks last evening. I understand (though living six
miles from the place) that during last night, about half-
pest ten o'clock, Lieut. O'Grady, belonging to the 60th
Rifles, now lying at the above barracks, was caught in
company with a female by a person whom I understand
was paying his addresses to her. On his approach to
the parties he instantly stabbed his officer, then the
female and lastly himself so determined did he appear
for self-destruction that he absolutely cut open his own
bowels. The woman died last night • the officer this
morning at half-past nine o'clock. I ;lave not time to
say more. From one of your subscribers.

INVITATIONS OF THE KING OF
THE FRENCH TO MR. AND MRS. STANDISH.
On Saturday Mr. and Mrs. Standish were invited to
dine with the Royal family at the Palace of St.
Cloud. After the repast the King conducted them
into the Gallery of Diana, where his Majesty conde-
scended to show them himself the rich presents that
he designs for them. These presents filled, not only
this gall-ry, but also the apartment which leads to
the chapel. In this room were placed the pic-
tures given by Louis Philippe to the Standish family.
Some of these pictures are very fine copies of those
which ornamented Duxbury Park, the others are ori-
ginals. In the Diana Gallery was displayed upon a
vast table a magnificent service of porcelain of the
Royal manufactory at Sevres. This service is com-
posed of a hundred different pieces, doubly precious by
the beauty of their form and the richness of the paint-
ing. Upon the uses and plates to the number of eighty,
are represented views of the finest landscapes and monu-
ments of Italy and the Royal Castles of France.
Upon another table was placed a boudoir breakfast
set, of the same manufacture, and of the newest and
most delicate style, the porcelain of which is of
so fine and transparent a quality that it is called
the muslin china. Upon a third table was a col-
lection of portraits of every member of the Royal
family. These portraits are in china, and elegantly
framed. In another part of the gallery were displayed
three hundred volumes in folio, chosen amongst the best
publications that the French Government, the King
Louis Philippe, the Enireror Napoleon, Louis
XVIII., and Charles X. have caused to be pub-
lished at different periods. These volumes are for the
most part from the press of the Royal printing-
office, and many amongst them are adorned by mag-
nificent engravings. Amongst the number the ex-
tensive work upon Egypt, ordered by Napoleon.
The description and reproduction of all the pictures,
statues, works of art of the Palace and the Museum of
V.:rsddlcs, commanded by the King Louis Philippe,
and the valuable work upon the monuments of ancient
France, by the Baron Taylor ; lastly, at the bottom of
this splendid gallery of Diana, was a superb portrait of
the King, painted in a superior style by Winteratter.
At the King's dinner table were her Majesty the
Queen, their Royal Hignesses the Duke and Duchess
of Orleans, the Duchess of Nemours, the Princess
Adelaide, the Princess Clementine, the Marchioness du
Rourre, the Marchioness de Vince, Baron de Finquer-
lin, the B iron Taylor, Count Dumas, the Duke d'Es-
tisac, General Count d'Houdetot.
On the following Wednesday the King and the
Queen were most graciously pleased to invite
Mr. and Mrs. Standish to dine at the Palace
at Versailles. There were sixty persons at the
Royal dinner table, consisting of the raernbers of
the Royal Family then at St. Cloud, Marshal Soult,
the Court and Countess de Montalivet, all the Ge-
neral Officers will were at Versailles, the Ambassador
of the United States of America, Count Aube; nen, Peer
of France ; Baron Taylor, Baron Humboldt, General
Count d'Houdedot, General Count de Rumigny, M. de
Cailleux, Director of the Royal Museums. After the
sumptuous dinner the King showed his noble guests all
the galleries of pictures and statues, which compose the
Versailles Museum. This promenade was terminated
by a visit to the theatre, which was illuminated by a
number of lustres containing thousands of lights, the
effect was most strikingly beautiful, giving the appear-
ance of a theatrical representation. The Royal. Family
arrived at two o'clock at the Palace of Versalles, and
did not take their departure before eleven.
