FROM VERA CRUZ The Yello,t, captain
Curtis, at this port from Vera Cruz, brings US Do.
pers Of thai city to the 25lh ult. inclusive. Til.
letters estimate the loss by the late Ere 1t Vera
Cruz, variousiy, from half million to three mil.
lions OF dollars. The fire occurred in one Of the
public stores attached to the custom house, and va,
first discovered about nine O'Clock on the night Of
the 9TH April. II is attributed to the careessness
OF some OF the porters employed in depositine the
cargo of the brig Greek,of New York. The loss
OF goods consumed, we learn has not had any effcc,
of consequence on the markets.
Our Minister, Mr.. Poinsett expected to conclude
treaty before the adjourn ment of the Mexican
Congress, but not IN season TO have it reach Wash
ington before Congress closes its present session.

it is said that had this vote not prevailed, The bill
would have been lost, by even larger majority, who
were prepared 10 vote for an adherence TO dsa.
greement to the Senale's amendments. II is hard.
ly worth while to inquire very nicely how happen

majority of both Houses Of Congress were doubtless
favorable to the principle Of The BILL 1t cannot ea'
cape observation, however, that the vote OF the
Members from Ohio was unanimous against the

Boston, May IA Coroncr's inquest was held
yesterday, ON the body of negro, who died sud-
denly at the House Of Correction. We understand
the verdict was, that he died Of debility. In the
afternoon, the body was inspected by two medical
gentlemen, who we're unable to satisfy themselves
OF the cause OF his death. There was general
disease of the viscera,-a turbuculous state OF The
liver and meseneric glands, and large quanl'y
Of fluid in the (percardium heart-case, II is very
kable, that this man spoke FIVE languages
correctly and Auently; could repeat Shakespeare
from beginning TO end, and possessed, beside THIS
an uncommon fund Of drolery. During the great.
er part OF Napoeon's wars he was servant to dl''
ierent officers Of distinction, where he had an OPP
portunity of acquiring information and periecslne
himself in waggishness Intemperance was prooa,,
