The brig Paragon arrived from Vera Cruz the day Ineftifc

also despatched to the Governor-General at Talino, to arrest

field at the bead of 200 infantry and td) cavalry. Apprehen-
sions were entertained in Mexico, fromZalata's journey to the

The Report of the Cornniftiee of General CongrOSS on the
power possessed by the latter to change the present system of
Government, and Institute another, has been adopted by it
small majority2—the opposition to it, howevei', was very strong.
A New York paper, the Morning Courier, of the Nth Sep-
tember, contains the following important information from
Para
The brig Mcreatur, from Para, arrived yesterday. Capt.
Towne reports that the city of Para had been entered by the
Indians, on the 14th August, after a conflict of eight days.
The President having taken no predtutionary measures
against this attack, which Wag daily expected to take place,
and of which he had been repeatedly advind, both by deserters
and letters from the Chief of. the rebels, Antonio Venagre,
who had threatened to fall on the city unless the President
should release his brother, Pedro Venagre, who was in prison.
The foreigners and native residents had confided so much
in the strength and wisdom of the Government, and in the
Marine Department, that they postponed embarking until ab-
solutely surrounded, not allowing' themselves time to save their
valuable effects.
The Indians were seen firing from the upper windows of the
Council-house, at the English, marines stationed at Mrs Camp-
bell's house opposite, and the United States flag was torn
It is supposed that the slaughter must have been immense, ag
the motto of the Indians is extermination of the Whites, and
a more complete sack of a city probably never took place.
The commanders of the English and Portuguese sloops of
war in port offered to assist the President in opposing the
rebels, and had, upon the first alarm, actually landed about
eighty men each ; but upon observing the pusillanimity of the
Government, they were shortly afterwards embarked again.
The whole number of armed Indians were not supposed to
amount to more than 150 or 200, without artillery. The-Pre-
sident's force amounted to 300 regulars and 400 volunteers,
and in the port seven vessel; of war.
Early on Saturday morning, 22d August, the whole of the
city was given up, and the President with his troops embarked
on board the shipping. We further learn by the packet, Chor-
tan, which sailed seven days after the Mercator, that on the 24th
August, the Indians, having complete possession of the town,
put to death all the remaining white inhabitants. Captain
Taylor, with four frigates, dropped down the Bay, and had de-
clared the town under blockade.
