people had hardly time to escape out oftheir houses, and
save their cattle. Happily no lives were lost, but the da-

mage is very great.

FRANKFORT, AUG. 23.
There are in Germany a good many holders of
bonds of the Royal Spanish Loan. They complain
that the result of the drawings of the Loan are not
published in the Paris Journals. Thus they are and
ignorant what prices came up in the drawing, which.
Messrs. Outrequin and Jauge announced for the 14th
April, and which was to be payable on the Ist July last.

Letters have been received from Port-au-Prince to
the 17th ult., and Papers to the 3d inclusive :
They contain a Proclamation, dated April, taking
off the restrictions on their ships and commerce with
foreign countries, in consequence of the indspandence
of the Republic having been recognized. The restriction
is however continued on their ships trading to the Co-
lonies of other Powers, and to North and South Ca-
rolina (Curacoa and St. Thomas excepted). A decree,
dated sth May, is also published, giving directions for
the organization oftheNationalGuard,to consist of horse,
foot, and artillery, and to be composed of all persons
from 15 to 60 years of age ; the articles are 22 in
'limber, and give directions for the equipment and
uniform to be worn by these troops. The superior
officers were to be in the appointment of the President
exemptions are made in favour of persons, cultivators
of the soil, who have seven legitimate children, and to •
Haytians who have returned from foreign countries'
until they have resided one year, unless the country

Letters have been received from Mexico of the
26th June, via America, considerable sensations' Q
been created at Mexico, by the arrival of an Agent of
the Colombian Government, who had attempted to
A.
seize the property and effects of the firm of B
GOLDSCIIMIDT and Co. in the hands of their Agent
Mr. TUTE. Our Minister, Mr. WA RD,
had promptly
interfered, and succeeded in preventing this seizure,
and secured all Mr. TUTE'S books and papers, for the
protection of that Gentleman and his employers. Trade
was improving at Mexico, and many kinds of godswere becoming scarce.
It appears that the Treaty between the Republic and
England had met with many obitacles, originating in
that which had been concluded with France. It wall'
however, ultimately expected that the whole would be
overcome, and that a relative of our Consul may'. be
shortly expected with this document.

It was with deep regret that we announced in out
Paper of yesterday the death of the Lord Bishop of
CALCUTTA. This melancholy intelligence was COa'
tained in the Bombay Courier of the 22d of April'
which reached us at the moment our Paper was going
to press. His Lordship had arrived at TrichiliopolY
on the morning of Saturday the Ist of April, and 09
the following day preached, and held a confirmation
the evening ; after which, he delivered another die'
course, concluding with a solemn and affecting farewell
to the Congregation. On Monday,
at an early hour,
his Lordship visited a congregation of Native Chrir
tians, arid, on his return, went into a bath, as he h
done on the two preceding days. He was there seised
with an apoplectic fit ; and when his serval% alatile
at the length of his stay, entered the bathing -N(44' e,
found that life was extinct. Medical. aid was Vie.
diately procured, but wholly unavailing.
