MEXICO

The Emma has brought US later numbers Of
the new Vera Cruz paper TO the 26:h ultimo.
The news from the State Of Yucatan is to
May 18th. A letter faom Campeachy says,
that the Governor and Congress have deter
mined to remove 10 that city, in consequence
Of The disorderly situation Of Merida, where
party spiri! had been carried so far that a prin-
ter had been wounded in the face and had an
ear cut off Gen. Bustamente, it is said, has
been appointed commandant Of the State. Yu.
catan, thus unhappily exposed 10 internal dis
sen,ions, is one Of the most fertile provinces
Of the Mexican federation; but such, according
to letter from Campeachy, is the spirit OF the
Inhabitants, that if the Standards were 10 at
tempt to take advantage of their divisions, all
would instantly unite to oppose them.
The Mexican .Aguila OF May l6:h, relates
the assassination Of man by the name OF
Marchona, formerly monk, which has pro-
duced great sensation in the capital, and
given rise 10 many conectures. He had kept
himself in concealment on accounI OF having
been suspected Of desig, to commit murder,
which has since proved 10 be too well founded
On the night Of The 9Th he was found covered
with wounds in the place of his concealment.
Other recent acts Of violence are complained
Of, and the police Of the city justly blamed
A public school for mutual instruction IS to
be established in Vera Cruz, and anot0er with
out the walls, besides one in the city for girls
only.

Translated from The German, by GOFF.
When l take strict examination Of the quail
ity and situation Of the heavenly bodies, find
in all the regions, by the movements of the
stars, that this mighty empire shall remain un-
der its present government a long time, until
the year A. D. 1896. Then will hero, thro'
manhood and virility, reach the two headed ca
gle and conduct the empire praise worthily, &
conquer the surrounding nations with most des-
perate sway; and continue to conquer till after
the commencement: of the 10Th century-then
he will fall and general peace be established
ill A. D. 1927. Then will confusion and re-
bellion begin in all quarters. Then will the
rebellion raise against the two headed eagle;
then will the white swan and powerful eagle
from dark valley in the West unite and rise
fercely against him and conquer him and rule
the empire many years, till the Almighty God
with his Interchangeable wisdom will make an
end thereof Then will the prophecy of Daniel
go on further, and then you will see the end OF
Nebuchadnezzar's dream, that the end Of the
world was near at hand. (Signed)

sold her at Alexandria.
When the king, her father, heard Of her cap
tivity he was greatly afflicted He'sent knights
and pa,riarchs in every direction in search OF
her, but all to no PURPOSE. AT length he sent
the squint-eyed Frank, who was his minister OF
police, and the devil incarnate at the business
Of espial.' who found her, as we have seen; and
brought her home sorely against her will. Nu-
reddin, on his part, was equally dlsconsolate:
every thing he saw recalled Maria TO his mind,
and he was on the verge of despair, when an
old captain called, who was going with his
ship to the very city to which Maria had been
brought. Nureddin embarked, and alter sail
ing hfty-one days, they were taken by Frank
corsair, and carried TO the residence Of the
king Of the Franks, where they arrived at the
same time as the princess Maria.
Her account Of her adventures was by no
means agreeable to her family, and it was de-
creed by the king, that TO wash away The stain
OF Slavery and its consequences from the prin-
cess his daughter, at least hundred Mussul-
mans ought 10 have their heads cut off. Ac-
cordingly it was ordered that the Mussulmans,
amounting to one hundred, taken by the cor
sair, should be forthwith executed. The cap
tam head was first knocked off, and so on till
they came 10 Nureddin, who like the silent bar
Der, had the good luck to be placed last. The

the balls perforated plank nearly twelve feet
in length. Thus, if opposed 10 regiment in
line, the steam gun might be made TO act from
one Of its extremities to the other. A similar
plank was afterwards placed in perpendicular
position, and, in like manner, there was stream
Of shot holes from the top to the bottom. Iii
thus proved that the steam gun has not only
the force Of gunpowder, but also admits of any
direction being given to it. But what seemed
to create most surprise was the effects of vol.
ley of balls discharged against the brick wall
by the side ofthe target They absolutely dug
hole of considerable dimensions in the wall,
and penetrated almost one half through its
thickness. We heard several officers declare
their belief that, had the balls been made of
iron instead of lead; they would have actually
made breach through 1.-THE wall was 8 in

FROM NEW-ORLEANs.

From the Ne,o York National .7duocate, FEB. S.
BY the La Fayette, we have received from
our Correspondent, New-Oreans papers to the
Goth January, inclusive; also, Price Current
of the l4th.
NEwORLEANs, Jan. 10, 1926.
Mr.. Thomas Snowden-
Dear Sir:-The gloom which has for some
months shaded the commercial interest of our
city has, it gives me pleasure to inform you,
in great measure cleared of, and business a.
gain begins to revive and look cheerful The
cotton crops arrive more freely, several consid-
erably large sales have been effected, without
any reduction in prices, principally for the
English and French markets. The opinions
are various regarding what the current rates
throughout the season will be, yet if we are to
Judge from numerous local causes which have
tendency to keep money out of the market,
and also 10 prevent houses who are willing to
purchase, from negotiating bills, should de-
cidedly infer that prices must inevitably come
down, before extensive purchases can be made
Prime Orleans are held at Ia cents, and other
grades in proportion.
The news of the upper rivers having consid-
erably risen, and the Ohio having again become
navigable, has enlivened the spirits Of every
one connected in business in this place. The
very limited supply of country produce in
our markets has given rise to an exorbtant adj
vance in the prices of the most necessary arti-
ces of provisions and is considerably felt, par
ticularly among the laboring and poorer class
es Of our inhabitants. We can now however,
safely anticipate speedy alteration for the bet
ter. The rivers being high will enable hun
dreds Of steam and fiat boats to get down, which
have been principally detained from the want
of water in the Mississippi and djacent rivers
to admit Of their departure.
The imports Of cotton since LIST Oct. are a.
bout $4,000 bales, and the exports about . 100
and the stock on nand this day about 1880
bales Freights and Exchange extremely dull.
Two steamboats, have just arrived from Lou
isville, the first which have reached this place
this Sc ason. At this period last season we were
in receipt of at least dozen from that portion
Of the country.
