Conversations of the President.-Under this title
the Globe has three columns, purpoeting to be TIE
substance of the remarks made by the President,
an ingeniousy concocted article. We ask the
Globe directly, whether may BIO permitted to
publish the real thing ITSELF written down by the
President himself word by word, letter by letter,
and point for point? This is simple question, to
which there can be not much difficulty in respond
ing; if Mr.. Blair obtain an audience of his
Majesty. Meantime, while see no necessity of
publishing the long, sophisticated and ugnary
rigmarole in the Globe, we have no hesitation in
characterizing it as such. We only ask permission
to publish what we know about the matter

IMroKrAsr FROM MExIco.-A mercantile letter
received in this city from New Orleans, dated May
10th, says, "a friend of mine, who has Just ar.
fi.od from Tampico, informs, that just iscforo he
left that place, an express arrived from Gen. St
Anna at Vera Cruz with the news, that Cen. Cal
deron, commander Of tho government troops be.
fore that place, finding himself weakened by sick
ness and despairing of success i'll his siege, had
held council with his officers, The result of which
was an agreement to join Santa Anna, and that
the whole army had entered Vera Cruz. If this
is true, adds tho writer of the letter, of which |
have no doubt, then it is ell over With Bustamente
and his government."-@Bah. Chron,

uTHE INDIAN WARn

BY letter from the postmaster Bellvillc, Hi.
nois, We are informed that ffty-two whites were
killed by the Indians in the late engagement; and
by another, from officer of the army to Gen.
Ashley we learn that the Indians led tho whites in.
to an ambuscado, by putting up ,chite flag. 1t ia
said their position, at present, is between the
militia under tho command of Gov. Reynolds and
the regular force under the command of Cen. Al.
k,nson. We cannot suppose that there is to
apprehsnd general Indian war. The certain and
speedy punishment Of the infatuated wretches who
havo perpetrated this outrage, must inevitably
follow.-U. S. Tel.

LOUISVILLE, May 24.-It appears, by letter
published in the Illinoise Advocate Of tho 9Th in
slant, that the volunteers under the command OF
General Whiteside numbered 1000. If this state.
ment be correct, tho party defeated on Rock Rvor
must h1so been detached from the main body of
troops. A letter in the paper says, "Black
Hawkes. band is at this time about 1000 warriors,
most of them in body and determined to fight; a

LIVERPOOL. Dec. so.
Grain and F2our-tt appears to be the opi'
Mon of most persons engaged in the Corn trade.
that the last crop of Wheat fell short of an ave-
| rage, and the general statements made by them
| are to the following effect:-In the southern.
eastern. and many Of the middle counties, the
deficiency is estimated at one-fourth less than the
average crop, whilst in the western counties. ave-
rage crops were generally obtained. and Of good
quality. In Scotland, the eas,ern counties produc-
ed Indifferent crops, and westward they were good
& equal to any average. IL Ireland the Wheat crop
is good quality, and is estimated a full average.
The crops of Oats and Barley were generally de-
ficent. Potatoes and 'rurnips Welded abundant
ly; aud Hay was very light crop. II is worthy
Of remark, that the export Of wheat from Ireland
during the last ten wears, has nearly exceeded
AIS, 600 quarters in one year, aud on an average
under 100000 quarters yearly. From official
documents, il appears that 2,430. 260 quarters of
Wheat. and l,43l $3.50 cwt. Of Flour. were re-
leased from bond between the harvests Of 1880
and 1881; and as the stocks of Wheat in the
hands of the farmers at the end VI the two last
harvests, as well as in the sea ports, were equal
y small. lin the latter only about 600, 900 quar-
ters) it follows that nearly 5000, 600 quarters Of
foreign Wheat were consumed in the last Jear.
in addition to our growth. -Four successive in
different harvests at home aud the consequent
large impOrtations, have tended to reduce the
stuck of old wheat in Europe. as we'll as Of Ame-
RIGA. The last harvest is understood to have been
less than an average throughout the greater part
Of Europe, and also in te United States. Prices,
however, are very considerably lower than at this
period last wear; then, American -four was quo.
ted sos to 52s bond. aud wheat 9s; now, we
quote sweet -four 2es to 23s. aud prime Ameri-
can wheat Isl per 20 lbs: but at that time the
stock III bond wa. 1856 quart ers, exclusive of
barley, &c. and Of -four about 10000 bills; the
stock in hand on the Isl inst. was 600. 740 quar-
ters of wheat, $4,000 quarters of barley, 81.
and 657.7S7 cwt. or ABOUT SIG, 600 bbls Of -four.
most Of which is sour. The. present depression
in prices may in some measure be accounted for
by the present considerable stock in LOnd, heavy
losses Of the last season inducing more caution on
the part Of spectators; the disposition shown by
the Bank of England. not to grant facilities TO
Corn spectators. as we'll as to the general want
Of confidence amongst commercial men, whose
fears are reasonably operated upon by the causes
TO which we have before alluded-it Is reasona
BILE to expect. that il the course of trade should
not be suddenly checked by those causes, We
shall, befor, the next harvest, have foreign grain
admitted at low rate OF duty; but, in the face OF
our present low prices, we would not recommend
shipments to b. made. except at Low prices and
Low rates Of freight.

Internal provsment.-Yesterday the subject
Of so much Importance. the Central Improvement
through Virginia. was called up in the House Of
delegates. and Mr.. Mcdowell, Chairman Of the
Committee of Internal Improvement, addressed
the House in a mos, able speech. in viDdication
Of the transcendant advantages Of the improve
ment and the principle Of loan. His peroration,
in which aliuding to the possible refusal Of the
General Assembly to effect this Improvement, he
announced the prubable consequences, was the
most potent piece IF eloquence, by universal con-
cession. ever listened to in that House. No at.
tempt was made to reply. yet the loan feature
was voted down BY majority Of ten. rendering
it manifest, that the last hope Of constructing this
great work BY State means, has vanished. No
other alternative therefore, is left, but to adont
Mr.. Cabell's proposition. which for our own part.
we prefer on principle, or to give up the matter
altogether. We believe there is strong proba-
biity that that proposition will succeed,

ture--a subject which Ellis my soul with anxious
and painful solicitude--one in which the millions
Of people OF thegreat and growing empire, over

your patience; for it seems to me that ACTION,

the inhabitants Of free and happy America. The
last arrival from Europe brought Us, not "glad
tidings Of great joy," but intelligence the most
poignant and affecting. The Cholera. the terri
6c and destructive Cholera, is extending its RAJ
wages to different parts Of England. 1t has al
ready made its unwelcomed appearance in Sun
derIand, Hull, Newcastle, North Shields and
Gates Head. Even in London aud Liverpool
the affrightened citizens are trembling at its ap.
proach. In Smyrna. it is said, nine thousand
persons were swept from Time to Eternity, in
one week, BY this novel and tremendous scourge.
Even in the above named places in England, ma
ny, very many, have died. With these startling
and melancholy truths presented to us, the ques-
ton naturally arises-May not the Cholera cross
the Atlantic and visit our beloved country?
