On the evening of Tuesday, after Ward and Cannon's fight at
Warwick, the backers of Ward and Spring met at the Warwick
Arms. Loud altercation took place respecting the merits of Ward
and Spring, and after considerable discussion, Spring offeridta fight
Ward for a thousand pounds, or more, as soon as be pleased, gad
said he would then stake .€lOO to make the match. The backers
of Ward accepted the challenge, but there was tin money staked.'
The whole of the combatants at the late Warwick fight reached
town last night. Cannon complains of his neck, and of a difficulty
of swallowing, arising, no doubt, from the blow he received in the
throat, in the first round. He is dreadfully cut up in spirit, and
says he cannot account for his being beat in so short a time. He
says he tech as if it had been a mere dream—but adds, that so sa-
tisfied is he that he can beat Ward, that he will fight hint again for
his own money.
REYNOLDS AND DAVIS. - _ _

The accounts received in town d of the remit of
the battle between Reynolds and Davis on Monday last. are totally
at variance. The first received stated, that Reynolds, after Bening
fifteen rounds, was vanquished, and Davis was proclaimed the *Li-
ner. A subsequent account, which enters lam more particular's,
declares that it was a drawn battle, as the ring was repeatedly
broken in by a disorderly rabble, and it was impossible for the men
to fight, in consequence of the pressure of the mob. There weTe
none of the London Pugilists present. The heat was so linen.*,
that more than twenty persons who were near the 'ropes fainted.
A pugilistic contest took place *in Goldstone Bottom, between
two very strong young men, named Motley and Marchant, oil
Thursday last. They fought 39 minutes, and 23 well contested
rounds, one or the other being fairly knocked down every time they
came to the scratch. The advantages appeared equal, till Nl...rclaant
bad the misfortune to injure the muscles of his hand in striking the
head of his antagonist, which caused hiin to ►ose the battle.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of PRUSSIA,
who is travelling incognito, under the title of Count de Zotzesui,
was expected lei arrive at Brussels yesterday evening.
No less than nine horses belonging to the different
coaches from Bury (Sotrolk),have been killed by the he it.
—The number of horses that died in cnnstquence•uf
the extreme heat of the weather on Monday and Tues-
day, is supposed to be greater than at any former
period. On the road from L'ndon to Birmingham
there it scarcely a coach proprietor or .post-master
who has not lost some, and many of them have lost
four and five.
We have before announced that a commission, no-
minated by Baron Milius, Governor of French Guyana,
had set out to explore the sources of the Oyapocjc and
the Maroni. This commission returned on the `241.11
of January last ; and though a variety of circumstances
have prevented the completion of its object, yet it pro-
ceeded a considerable distance from the mouth of the
river Oyapock, and has entered into an alliance with
the tribe of the Oyampis. Ounanita, the Chief of this
tribe, had sealed this union with an oath of fidelity to
the King of France. M. Baden, Commander of the
French expedition, invested him with the uniform and
insignia of Captain, and during this ceremony, the
French flag was hoisted by Ounanica, who gave a
fete upon the occasion, enlivened by dancing, and
at which -there was no want of cachiri (a fermented
beverage). The tribe of Oyampis is composed• of
about 'six thousand individuals, and is not far from
that of the Emeril:on,, which is also very numerous
—Among the useful things which were brought• by
Baron Milius, is some cotton, cultivated by the°, 4nipis.
which is extremely beautiful, and is said to be much
superior to that of Cayenne and even of Pernambuco.
In a great part of its course the Oyapock is barred by
cataracts and' aterfalls, %Web in some places are at an
immense elevati -n; one of these cataracts is 500 feet
long and 80 high._ M. Bodin has brought back a
branch of a tree called the gulibis or carouachi, the •
leaf of which is a mortal poison. The difficulty which
the Indians raised to M. Bodin taking this away, led
him to believe that it is with the sap of• this vegetable
'that they poison their arrows. Ounanica accompanied
the expedition as far as Camopi; and Macarayou,
another Chief, confided his son, a youth, to M. Bodin,
who brought him to Cayenne. The Abbe Fournier,
while with the Oyampis, baptised 49 children. The
relations which will be established between this people
and the French colony, is not the only advantage likely
to be derived:from this expedition.—Etoik.
