The news from the United States is to the 2'
Dec., being seven days later than the last arrivals. The Secretary of the Navy in his Report. r
eercope,
mends a large increase in the number of war steam
and heavy frigates, but none of ships of the line. tee
The Postmaster-General in his Report states er
the expenditure in his department has exceeded the
come during the last year. But how does he PrZies
to cover the deficiency ? By increasing, as the il cos
talk of doing, the rates of postage? 0 no ! By re°
the salaries of the servants of the Post-office. le o
The " Right of Search" question is producing (1i1(10,0
ferment in the United States. From thePresithgn oots
to the humblest labourer at the foot of theyee4 firsolii
tains all are resolved to resiSt any ,atterept pro ef-bait
American merchant-vessels, or to compel them t 4 °ot
their papers. The question is indeed a very troubles
one, and perhaps had better be at once abandoned' po
The ship Creole, from Richmond (Virginia) t°„..01
Orleans, with 135 slaves on board, put into, •I``":0
(New Providence), on the 14th ultimo, when it l•
found that the slaves had, for the purpose of 4°lti
their freedom, murdered the captain, the °weer' al
one or two others, They then insisted that -the el
should be taken to Nassau. She was so, and all the .sret'sr
set free according to English law, except a few whow,e oil
culpated in the mutiny and murder. The American 0; al
demanded the slaves as dargo, but the authorities o,lear
island could only consider them as passengers, and trou a-
fOre free to go where they pleased, and most of ll'e air:
cordingly shipped for Jamaica. The point ehieoltberl;
cussed is the liberation- of the slaves ; and the Sellel,
Papers are very warm upon the subject, and urge it 0:
topic for the immediate consideration of Congre
well as the claim of search. . • i .

The Mexican Papers state that the whole of the Te 10,0:
Santa Fe expedition, consisting of several liundrodsitli
had been captured ; but advices from Galveston are
the truth of the report. Two arrivals from Vet° tai'l
and Havannah, however, seem to confirm the capOl
a very circumstantial manner.
