CARacAs, July 20.-The Bogota Post due on
the 18th inst. has not arrived; consequently we
are deprived of all news from the capital. Mt
this most interesting crisis. This long delay

An express has just arrived from tbs

on the Upper Missouri. that FIVE men "a

receive confirmation of the report,
which had before reached Us by the wa,
of st. Peters. that orc of Mr.. Tilton's
party at the Mandan Villages, had been
killed at his door.
We are disposed to believe this rcporf
the more, because we understand that

make this adventure to The Arickarss,
by the persuasion Of Brszo, who, conf
ling in their friendship FOR him, expect.
