We have received (says the New York Daily
Advertiser robasco papers, which contain an ac-
count of an action between the forces OF the o'a
Mexican Government Navy, under Captain

The Rev. Professor Pafrey, Of Harvard Uni
yersity, delivered public discourse on the day
recently appointed, IN Massachusetts,, for fasting
and player. In the Boston Daily Advertiser,
we find this brief synopsis of its matter.
alt begins with rapid sketch Of the origin
and progress 'of the disease, the presence OF
which in this country gave occasion to this reli-
sious observance, and Of its ravages, which, IN
the opinion Of Mr. PaIfrey, have been exag-
gerated; for, taking any short term of years col
iectirely, it cannot be made to appear that the
mortality in any section of country has been
materially raised above its ordinary state. Still,
IL is a new and impressive form OF admon'tion of
the frailty of our mortal nature: but, though it
NAV be regarded as judgment, in the proper
sense OF the term, IT is not to be regarded as
retTibutive Induction, either for national Or indi
yiduaI sin. This point is treated impressivelv,
aud at some length. Ii is remarkable divine
dlspensation. capable of being turned to account
for impro, ement. aud appealing with solemnity
To man: There are some parts of righteousness,
which it affords special advantages for learning:
the cuutrV OF inclnatiOns for sensual Indulgence,
the sentiment of christian courage, tenderness
TO others, and the conviction Of mans absolute
dependence upon God"
The London Court Journal says:-We have
strong reason to believe that the Duke Of We'll
Ington will retire from public life altogether, as
soon as public affairs will permit.
No doubt. But we should like to know what
prospect there is of public affairs ever permit
ting the Duke Of Wellington to retire to private
life.
The heads of public Offices at Washington are
beginning already to discontinue their subscrip-
tons to the New York Courier and Enqurer.-
The editor Of that paper says he is in daily ex-
pecration Of receiving an order of the like nature
from Amos Kendall, and hopes to save trouble,
