MEXICO.

Mexican papers 10 the 9th May are receiv.
ed oy tine Apollo from Tampico.
The following extract is taken from the Sol.
at is with feelings of indignation and hor-
ror that We have perused the accounts Of the
civil war now raging between the states Of
Guatimala and St. Salvador. The atrocities
committed by the forces Of the former, during
a late incursion into the territory of the latter
might we'll be styled the ne plus ultra of savage
and undiscipiined warfare. The pen refuses 10
relate the deeds of infamy committed by those
predatory bands Of lawless soldiery, alike un-
worthy the name Of Christians and Of Republi-
cans. Suffice it 10 say, that whole districts OF
St Salvador, men, women and children, were
b"rutally put to fire and sword, with the excep-
ton Of the younger portion Of the females, who
were reserved for the unholy qualification Of
the remorseless invaders. The feeble and the
aged were driven back at the point oil the
bayohet TO perisl, in the flames. We are con-
strained to draw a veil over a host OF enormi-
ties perpetrated by the Army of the General
Government. Doroteo VasconceIos, general
Of the Federal forces Of ST. Salvador, assures
the President, Manuel de Arzu, in his des-
parch, dared San Salvador, 10th March, that ii
a renewal Of like scenes should occur, the war
will forthwith assume an extern natory char.
acler, and breathe nought but death to the Gag.
gers hilt.
"Ihcre seems 10 be no likelihood Of a cessa-
ton Of hos,ilities; and it may in truth be said,
tina, this fair portion Of our continent, is a prey
20 all the mlsfor,unes inseparable from the
most invetera,e & bloody Of civil contention S.
The Mexican papers afford scarcely any matter

Vice President Bravo, for which he has been

The Gazette says.--"A respectable merchant
in this city has received a lette: from his cor.

merchants there TO return, or export their un-

A Letter from Buenos Ayres, under date of A.
pril Is, received by Mr. Sand-rson Of the Phil
adelphia Coffee House says:-
"The peace between these countries (Buenos
Ayres and BrsziD may now think be- regarded
as certain, unless some unforeseen obstacle
should presen, itself in the negotiations; tut
which, from present appearances, there is but
little reason to apprehend, as both parties,
worn out by the war, seem to be sincere in their
proposals for an accommodation"
"The basis Of peace(made through the medi-
alton of the British ministers here and a, R;o,)
is said TO be the entire independence Of the
Banda Oriental, and a free navigation maze Of
the river La Plate. The minor articles will
probably be shortly settled by commissioners
either at Monte Video, or Rio de Janeiro."

+ We are informed by our correspondent at

ny, have obtained an injunction from Judge 1.
Buchanan, restraining The purchase or condem-
nation of lands for The use Of the Baltimore and
Ohio Rail Road Company, and "enJoining all
Magistrates, Sherifs, Sc. from aiding or as
sis,ing.in those objects"
AS we are wholly uniformed for what allies
ed cause this injunction has been granted, we
are, OF course, unprepareG TO give any opinion
upon its merits or dement's, and shall for the
present just remark that we are Inclined to con-
slider il rather a novel proceeding, and we
think it is probably the FIRST instance Git is GER
tainly the first we have ever heard Of where an
injunction was granted 20 prevent a company.
lawfully engaged in 4 great public work, from
obtaining grants of land or other privileges
necessary for the object contemplated, in the
manner authorized by law, especially with the
voluntary consent Of the owners Of the proper

We trust that this hostile step on the part
Of the enemies Of the great work, in which Bal
timore is now Embarked, comes too late 10
produce anv other than a mere temporary in>
terruption, as the agents of The Baltimore and
Ohio Rail Road Company, had already, we are
assured, succeeded in obtainiping voluntary
re linouishments Of the land holders along The
whole line, with a very few exceptions, and had
a~ctuslly obtained deeds Of cession for the
necessary land from mos: Of the owners OF the
more important and difficult passes. Our
correspondent, a, Hagers,own informs US that
"~twenty deeds executed to the Rail Road Com
oany and embracing very important and diHh>

From the Boston Yankee.
TO A CHILD.

The memory Of thy mime, dear one,
| L.UeS IN my innrOSt heart,
Linked NTH thousand hopes and fears,
! Tint aoiH not theme depart -
| Things of high import sound in thine ears
Dear child, though now thou may st moi
feel their power:
J But hoard them up, and in thy coming years
Forget them not, and when earth's tempests
lower,
A talisman unto thee shall they be,
To give thy weak arm strength, to make thy
dun eye see.
Seek TEUrH-that pure, celestial truth
whose birth
Was in the heaven of heavens, clear, sa.
cred, shrined,
In reasons light Not oft she visits earth,
But her majestic port, the willing mind,
Through faith, may sometimes see. Give
her thy SOUL
Nor faint though errors surges loudly 'gainst
thee roll.
Be FREE. Not chiefly from the iron chain,
But from the one which passion f,rges-be
The master of myself If lost, regain
The rule DER chance, sense, circumstance
Be free.
Trample thy proud lusts proudly meath thy
feet,
And stand erect, as for heaven-born one is
meet.
Seek VIRTUE. Wear her armor to the fight !;
Then, as wrestler gathers strength from
strife,
Shalt thon be nerved to a moro vigorous
might
BY each contending turbulent i'll of life.
Seek virtue. She alone is all divine;
And having found, be strong in Gods own
strength and thine.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. dear
child, have power,
brightly cherished to uphold, sustain,
And bless thy spirit, in its darkest hour;
Neglect them-thy celestial gifts are vain
In dust shall thy weak wing be dragged and
solled;
Thy soul be crushed meath gaudes for which it
basely toiled.
