According to late accounts from Tampico it was thought that
General Santa Ana would decline the presidential chair. It
was also current that the Gichupines, or Spaniards settled in
the country, were conspiring against the government; fur,

congress, nearly the whole had returned. The Couducta was
expected at Tampico about the Ist of May.

The accounts from Valparaiso contain the full particulars of
the dreadful affair of Capt. Paddock, of the American whaler
Catherine. It appears that previous to the arrival of the Ca-
therine at Valparaiso the unfortunate man had found himself
unwell, and had, on her arrival, sent fora doctor, and told him
he had been poisoned by the consul. The doctor saw he was
inclined to delirium, and requested the mate to watch him, that
he might not jump overboard. The next morning the mate
sent ashore to the American consul's counting-house, and in-
formed Mr. Came the head-clerk, of the circumstances, who
went on board, and invited the captain to remove on shore to
his house, until he became better; and, taking such things as
were wanted, they walked to the counting-house together.' Mr.
Carne stopped to speak to some one in the street, when Capt.
Paddock went into the counting-house, and in an instant drew a
knife, and planted it in the heart of the Spanish clerk, who
sprang to the door and fell dead without speaking. He then
attacked a lad named Pedrie, who was at another desk, but he
escaped by getting out of a back-door and shutting it. Capt.
Paddock then rushed to the street door, where he met Mr.
Carne, whom he stabbed near the heart, dead. He then ran
for the place where his boat lay, and, on his way, fell in with a
Mr. Wheelwright, who was conversing with another person,
and gave him a stab in the breast-bone, and three other severe
cuts. A Mr. Budje then met his observation, and he fell upon
him; but lie fortunately got out of the way by stepping into the
house and shutting the door, which Capt. Paddock stuck his
knife into. The noise was heard at a watchmaker's opposite,
and Dr. Juaquin Le Rane, one of the most respectabl. citizens
of Chili, went to the door to ascertain the cause. As soon as
he came in sight, Capt. Paddock deliberately put his arm round
his waist, and plunged his knife into the heart of the old man,
who fell dead without a struggle. The man of the store, igno-
rant of what had passed, went towards the door, where he was
met by the maniac, but, by turning and making a spring into
the back store, he escaped with three severe cuts. By this time
the labourers had gathered, and commenced pelting him with
stones, one of which brought him to the ground, and, in the act
of securing him, one of the labourers was wounded so that he
died the next. day, and four more badly cut. In the captain's
pocket were found two spare knives, which, with the fatal one
used, were fixed with springs to prevent their shutting, and the
points were ground sharp on both sides. Dr. Le Bane has left
a family of twelve children. Capt. Paddock was tried, and,
after several respites, shot, exhibiting, as he proceeded to exe-
cution, unequivocal proofs of insanity.
