inent bad taken place there the evening previous to

CHARLESTON, OCTOBER 6.
The brig Catharine, Wellman, arrived here from
Havannah, in five days, brings late accounts from
Mexico. A cessation of hostilities had taken place.
On the 11th of August Colonel Santana agreed to
the proposition of the Viceroy, that the gates of
Vera Cruz should be thrown open the next day; that
the prisoners on both sides should be liberated, and
the country people allowed to come in unarmed, but
in no great numbers.
A letter from St. Augustine, under the date of Sep-
tember 10, states, that " this place has been uncom-
monly sickly this summer, and a great many deaths
have occurred both in town and country. On the
River St. John, they have been remarkably sickly.
Our Courts are not yet organized; and when they
are, I do not know how they are to act ; for, by Ge-
neral Jackson's Proclamation, the Spanish laws are
declared to be in force, and neither Magistrates nor
Law)ers know what they are. Until Congress makes
laws- to govern the territory, we shall be without
any law."
A letter from Curacoa, of the 16th of September,
mentions, that " His Majesty' brig Mow', Captain
De Quartcl, sailed from thence on the 12th, bound
to Laguira, with a large quantity of specie on board;
the same evening she had her main-mast struck by
lightning, and lost overboard, which rendered the
brig unmanageable during the gale, atnd she was ran
on shore. The specie was saved, but the vessel is
full of water."

stitution, it is necessary that the Deputies should receive powers
sufficient for that purpose; and as it is also of much importance
