Goodspeed refused to sail with Filibusters. Capt.
Bates, of the American barque Honduras, offered
some of the leaders a free passage to New York,
whieh they declined. Governor Seymour, hearing
of their predicament, invited Capt. Maury to call,
and asked the particulars of his voyage, and
especially what had been done with Lieutenant
Whyte. He then said if they could do no better,
he would send them to the United States in the

6-gun steam sloop Basilisk. As they had violated
no law of England, he regarded them simply as
shipwrecked United States' citizens. He did not
inquire into their original intentions. He gave
Captain Maury one hour to decide. Governor
Seymour went himself to the reef, and told the

boys' they were in the sacred character of guests,
and, then leaving, sent them on to Mobile. The
Mobile papers call for a demonstration in honour of

the Basilisk."

The Secretary of the Treasury had transmitted
to Congress the report of Professor Alexander; who
was commissioned to ascertain the relative value of

coinage of the United States and Great Britain, and
fix the relative value of the unitary coins of the two

countries. The Secretary says that the report is
not so encouraging-as he had hoped, though, with
the limited power conferred on Professor Alexander,
no fixed policy could have been adopted. It is for
Congress to say what additional steps are to, be
taken. The British Treasury authorities recom-
mend that the United States' Government be in-
vited to indicate such a plan as may be made the
basis of further negotiations.
The intelligence from Kansas was not satisfac-
tory. A special messenger had arrived at Wash-
ington with despatches, reporting that Montgomery,
Brown, and their partisans were determined upon
making a desperate stand. The action of the
Missouri Legislature in calling out volunteers, and
appropriating money to be used against them, had
caused a great deal of exasperation among them,
and was likely to result in a bloody civil war: The
Kansas Legislature has as yet taken no action
in the premises, and Governor Medry made`na
mention of the troubles in. his Message. The Legis-
lature has adjourned to Lawrence; with the sanc-
tion of the Governor.
The overland mail, with California dates to the
17th ult., had reached St, Louis. A large spring
had been discovered in the middle of the Colorado
desert, yielding an abundance of water.
Both the Apache and Camanche Indians were
committing depredations on the mail stations, in
consequence of which the Government animals were
obliged to be used to carry the mail some distance.
Mexicans were also suspected of stealing mules
from the mail stations, The passengers via the
Tehuantepec route failed to make a connection in
consequence of the boisterous weather in the Gulf
of Tehuantepec.
The revolution at the capital of Mexico, -which
resulted in the overthrow of Zuloaga, took place
on the 23d ult. General Echegaray, a partisan of
General Robles, and who had been joined by the
Constitutionalists of Jalapa and Cordova, advanced
upon the city. Zuloaga tried to compromise with
Echegaray, but failed, and was afterwards captured
and sentenced to death at Puebla, but a revolt in
the city of Mexico saved him. General Robies
had released all political prisoners, and it was sup-
posed that Juarez would be placed at the head of
the Government. All parties, including the
Liberal, were rejoicing at Vera Cruz at the turn
affairs had taken.
