MANY of the leading statements IN the foregoing
account are strongly corroborated by circumstances
and facts within the knowledge OF many Americans
This ia said to be the country OF the ancient va
massees and.it IS fact that the Creeks have held
slave race, descended from the Yamassee nation
which has but recently been incorporated win 'heir
tribe 1t is also fact that forts we're very numer
ous and that Fort ST. Louis bears evident marks o'
having been destroyed by the whites from the mu-
tila,ed annesrance Of the cannon, which must have
been broken by sledge hammers. There IS also
said 10 be very considerable fertilization IN The
neiehborhood OF the Okelockoney. From the
growth of tho forest trees 1t must have been about
two hundred years since the country was laid waste
Be tina, as it may it is rapidly popuatng anew, and
the power of the natives is now broken. We have
nothing to fear from them, and they cannot, 1t they
would, repeat the desolatng scenes which once
swept over this beautiful domain.-Ft. ihteH.
From Merico.-Thc papers Of Mexico 10 May !,
are nearly filled with the proceedings OF different
Legislative bodies. They have Senate and House
of Representatives sitting and celebrating on
the enactment Of the laws for the government oil
1.-The army, the collection Of the revenue and other
objects of general utility. Besides these two bodies,
sitting in the capital and legisatng for the naon'
they have a representative corps in each OF the pro-
yinces, that occupies itself with the laws OF mere
locality and police.
On the 9th Of April, the Sovereign Congress de-
creed that the titles of Marquis, Count, Knight and
all other Noble appeations, should be forever abo
|lished throughout the Mexican Confederation. The
CLERGY in their turn are likely be shorn of little
of their prerogatye, will appear by the following
extrac, Of letter, dated
/" Tampico, May 81, 1925.
"Liberality of sentiment towards Foreigners be
gins to be generally felt throughout the country,
which may in few years become inhabitable by
lcurtailing the power of the Priests. AS proof
that the latter is on the decline may cite the pub
lie execution of criminal in this place, few days
ago. He had assassinated five men before, and
thought 10 have escaped with the sixth: but 1t was
otherwise. According to superstitlous, or rather
internal rite of the Spanish Roman Catholic Church,
any offender, after the commission OF crime, by
abscondng into the Church previous to his capture
by his pursuers, is exempted from suffering death
| be the crime what it may. The wretch acted ac-
cordingly-he ran instantaneously into the Church
after the murder, and was confessed, and suppose,
absolved by the priest, who in conjunction with the
cuprit confidently asserted that it would be sheer
mpossibility to execute him. After appealing how
ever both civil and ecclesiastical courts, sentence
OF death came down ratified by Congress and the
President, in consequence Of which he was publicly
shot This is the first effort of the priests that has
ever been bafied in this place."

\ Subsistence Of The Baltic.--A very singular ant
interesting fact has been acerained respecting the
level OF the Baltic. 1t has been long suspected that
the waters Of this sea were gradually sinking; bu
, memoir published in the Swedish Transaction:
for 1928, has put the change beyond doubt. Mr.
Buncrona, assisted by some officers of the Swedish
Plotting establishment, has examined the Swedish
coast with great care, from lat Sc TO g. and Mr.
Halstrein has examined those Of the gulf Of Bothnia
The results OF both inquiries are given in the form
of table; and though, as might have been expect

waters beyond dispute. The Baltic, it is to b,
