crews of the squadron, sailed the last days
of the preceding month, under convoy of

which also carried stores for the expedi-
ton. One division of the expedition had
arrived at Punta Gorda, in the Bay 1T ST.

possession Of that important position with

lMf Oh Ian II ROM MEXICO.
A gentleman direct from the Kingdom
of Mexico, and the province of Yucatan,
informs US, that all the ports in both
Kingdoms are shut against all foreign flags,
by royal order from the Spanish govern
ment. Their own vessels are also forbid
den from going to any foreign port.
Campeachy was alone open, for want of
sufficient force to enforce the order : but q
new captain general was daily expected,
with 1900 or 1000 troops, when the port
would be shut at the point of the bayo-
net.
The royal army app ars to be victorious
almost every where ; the patriots them
selves aim st despair.
In Campeachy, it was reported. there
were II privateers belonging to The pat
riots. cruizing in the Bay OF Mexico, they
had captured number CT Spanish vessels,
the crews had been released, end arrived

CORRECTION,

We are informed, that the article in this
paper some time since, relative tn the &C
quittal of Capt. 7hsmas Wells, by the ex-
aiming court of Nottoway. was incorrect
in one particular, to wit-that on his ex-
animation for shooting Colonel Greenhil,
he could not have been acquitted from the
evidence given in by the Colonel. That in
the examination for shooting the Judge,
there was no contradction-that in the
examination for shooting col. G. there was
most material variation, and such a
one as not to warrant the opinion which

BRITISH REVENUE.

The revenue of Great Britain, in the
quarter ending July S, 1915. was Is ,7OS, 5I9
In the quarter ending July S, 1916, 49,
9S2,917. Which latter amount is equal to
the same quarters in 1918 and 1914 Such
is the commendable sensibility of the Brit
ish as to the finances of the nation that
this deficiency causes much discussion. -
The Times and Chronicle think it alarm
ing. The Courier and sun are of differ
ent opinion.
The Revenue of the year ending the 5th
July, 1916. upon a comparison with the
same period in 1915. is lessened about g.

year 1913, by S 1899, 669l. and that ofIs14,

The frosts of August, we are very sorry

In the countries upon the Hudson, their
effects were principally confined to the low
lands. To the westward the injury M been
more general. A gentlemen direct from

1t is computed that one half Of the Indian
corn crop has been cut off. The drought,
through great portion of the northern
country, is also seriously affecting. Occasi-
onai showers have afforded much relief;
but in general they have been light, and
their benefits temporary. We have not ex-
