Particulars of the massacre by the Sioux Indians of
Lieutenant Grattan and the detachment of troops under
his command, near Fort Laramie, announce the painful
fact of the destruction of the entire party. The chief of
the Sioux received a mortal wound at the first discharge,
and the lieutenant fell dead by the volley from the Indians
in return. Upon the fall of their leader the troops bee^
panic-stricken, and the Sioux tomahawked evert

One, who effected his escape through the assists.nce of one
of the hostile savages. The Indians refused to allow the
dead bodies to be buried. Subsequently they attacked the
depot of the American Fur Company, anddestroyednearly
$50,090 worth of goods.
Some months since two British soldiers deserted from
the garrison at Sydney, Cape Breton, and made their way
to Boston, where they were apprehended at the instigation
of the British consul at that city, on the charges of deser-
tion and larceny in robbing the military chest of a large
sum of money. Of the charge of desertion the court at
Boston refused to take cognisance, but both prisoners were
committed to answer for the alleged charge of larceny.
On the 22d ult. one of them was tried and convicted,
when an appeal was taken to the Supreme Court of the
United States on the point raised for the defence that it
was not competent to try a person in that country for an
offence committed in a foreign country.
A riot had taken place at New Orleans, which, it ap-

several Irish watchmen, who were assisted by their coun-

nation. The reports of the killed and wounded are very

conflicting.

The Prometheus had arrived at New York, with advices

from San Francisco to the Ist ult., and' $990,8900n.
freight. The John L. Stephen_ left on the Ist ultimo,

with $1,226,958 2fic. The mining accounts were favour-
able, though water was scarce. The shipment from San
Francisco, from the Ist Jan. to the Ist Sept. was
$35,872,787 56e. At lioguelnmne-hill $600,000 worth of
property had been destroyed by fire. At Campo Seco a

conflagration had destroyed upwards of $100,600 worth.
St. Louis had suffered a loss-of $150,000. from the same
cause. H.M.S. Amphitrite, and the French corvette
L'Artimese, had arrived at San Francisco from the Sand-
wich Islands. They had failed to find the Russian ships.
According to the San Francisco papers, the Russian fleet
was at. Petropaulski,- prepared to resist if attacked. The
town
.had been fortified. The San Francisco Herald
says—" By the-arrival of the American brig Boston, Capt.
Hedges, we have advises from Petropaulski, a Russian
port on the. peningula of Kamschatka, up to July 16.
From a gentleman attached to the Boiton, we have

gathered iirtelligence of much interest just at this juncture,
regarding the movements of the Russians at that place.
At the time the Boston left, there were in port a double-
banked Russian frigate of 44 guns, the corvette 011eutza,
of 22 guns, from the Baltic, with a Baltic crew, a Guarda
Costa and the Russian American Company's ship Kams-
chatka, armed with eight guns, and with a crew of twenty
men. News of the war in Europe had been brought to
Petropaulski by the American barque Bhering, and the
Russians were making great preparations to resist an anti-
cipated attack by the Allied fleet. The port is defended by
several fortifications, and new ones are being erected, con,
sisting of one or two masked batteries, with three or four
mortars. The Governor has under his command a full
regiment of soldiers fully equipped, and is confident that
he can stand a pretty long siege. Petropaulski contains
between 3,60Pt0 4,000 inhabitants, including a few Ameri-
cans and Englishmen, and one American store. Every
body must be a soldier or a sailor, and respond: to the
Governor's call at a moment's notice. The town is situate'
on an inland bay, the entrance to which, from the_ ocean,
is through a narrow inlet, three miles in length, studded
with islands, and commanded by several batteries. A
vessel may enter without danger, although there are many
difficulties to encounter. Captain fledges, with the Boston,
beat in and out in a fog. The Governor thinks, and our
informant also, that it would be impossible to take the
post with anything short of a fleet of steamers, as new
batteries are being built to cover every approach. The
Russians were daily looking for the arrival at Petropaulski
of an English frigate and corvette, on their way to Amoor
river, at the mouth of which they (the Russians) have
several strong forts."
The 71st regiment embarked from Quebec on the 23rd
for LiVerpool.
The captain and crew of the brig Poultney, wrecked on
the passage from Liverpool for Baltimore, were picked up i
at sea by the schooner Jupiter, from St. Übes, and taken
to New York.

unfavourable advices, per Atlantic and Arabia, checked
inquil-y, and created a dull feeling in the market. The
