A party, said to be in the plot, arrived at Griffin, who
declare that, if the expedition was successful, they were
each to have five thousand dollars, with a fair prospect of
making fortunes, and were assured that a large portion of
the Spanish army would join them on their arrival, as
would the inhabitants. The President of the United
States has issued a proclamation, denouncing the attempt,
and for the present the plot appears to be frustrated.
From Boston we learn that Frank Oakes, mate of the
Liverpool ship Rio Grande, had been arrested for almost
killing an Irishman. Great indignities had been offered,
in South Carolina, to the officer from Boston who con-
veyed the fugitive slave Simms back to that state. The
Mississippi had fallen a foot in height. Letters from
South Carolina, in the New York Herald, charge the
British Government, "on good authority," with in-
triguing for the severance of the cotton States from the
Union. On the 23d ultimo a grand entertainment was
given at Astor-house, New York, by the St. George's
Society, at which Sir H. Bulwer (who had recovered from
severe indisposition) was one of the principal guests and
speakers. Captain Judkins was also present, and pre-
sented to the guests a turbot caught in England, and
only eleven days out of English water. Captain Beals
presided, and the Swedish Minister, Mr. Lytton, son of
Sir E. B. Lytton, the novellist, were also present. Several
of the orations, more especially those of Sir H. Bulwer,
were of a remarkable character. Captain Cooper responded
for the British army, Sir H. Bulwer for the Duke of
Wellington, and Mr. Lytton for his father, the great no-
vellist. Sir H. Bulwer proposed the health of Washington
Irving ; and, subsequently, the memory of Capt. Roberts,
of the steam-ship President, was drunk in silence, the day
being the anniversary of his arrival in New York in the
Sirius, from Europe.
Letters from New York state, that instructions had
been received from the Treasury department, directing
the revenue officers strictly to enforce the provisions of the
Act of March 2, 1792, requiring, under a heavy penalty,
masters both of the United States and foreign vessels, on
arriving within four leagues of the coast, to have on board
duplicate manifests of their cargoes.

s from Havana, of the 23rd ult., announce, that
much excitement continued to exist on account of the in-
vasion, which was expected to have landed on the 19th
instant. The captain general had received a despatch
stating that an expedition had sailed from New Orleans.
The troops were sleeping on their arms; horses were
ready saddled for expresses, and one steamer keeps her
steam up. One Spaniard had been condemned to death,
having been detected in bribing a pilot to assist Lopez.
The people are said to desire the invasion, and are ready
to join when a respectable force lands on the island.
Business was at a stand in Havanah, in consequence of
the Easter holyday season. From Cardenas we learn,
that from the same cause freights were fast falling. On
the sth ult. a serious fire occurred at Magnayez ; damage
estimated at 20,000 dollars.

Letters from Vera Cruz, Mexico, to the 29th ultimo,
(being three days later than by the West India steam-ship
Great Western,) are published in the New York journals,
but the contents are vague and unimportant. Congress
was still sitting, and proposed to continue in session for
some time longer. Formal complaints have been ad-
dressed by the cabinet to the United States government
relative to the Indian aggressions on the frontier.
Letters from New Brunswick announce, that on the
21st ult. the house rejected the Intercolonial Bill admit-
ting Canadian produce duty free.
Accounts from Bermuda announce the opening of the
parliament, by Capt. Elliot, on the 7th ult.

From Port-au-Prince we learn that Soulouque had made
further levies of troops, and that the Chamber of Deputies
had rejected the claims pressed by the United States.

Letters from Buenos Ayres of the sth March, received
in Boston, state that Roses was again talking of resigning
3 elevated office. Capt. M. M'Kenzie, of the Liverpool
ip Adamant, had been killed by a fail from horseback.
Letters from Liberia, of the 13th February, announce
Mr. Shaw, the agent sent out from England to expe-
on the growth of cotton, was about to ship a
Iles to Liverpool. Liberia, it was expected,
stant date, become a large exporter.
