says" We have letters from pernambuco to

rectionary movements amongst the negroes, nor
do they contain the most remote alluson to any
disturbance there. The Revolution spoken Of b:
the Brazilian Captain, was undoubtedly the in.

SEASON OF RETROSpECTION-

The close Of the year is peculiarly the
season of retrospertion: as is its dawn. Of
hope and expectation. According to the
prevailing temperament, whether OF age or
youth, will these feelings pre6ominate and
at time like the present, the cay and
buoyant spirits Of youth may reasonably lie
supposed to feel the influenre of melancholy
thoughts. The long interval of apparent
death between the decay and the renuya-
ton of the vegetable world. has been seiz-
ed upon 10y the people of all ages, as the
natural emblem of the fate of man; and
tr;e as 1t may now seem, we feel in all lis
force with every return of the season, the
beauty and the appropriateness of the image.

The Charge dAffaires of the United
States TO Great Britain has been. informed
by Lord Palmerston that, with respect TO
the Convention concluded between France

Holland aud Belgium, the blockade of the

Holland, that no interruption whatever

coast OF Holland might become the neces-

PARAGUAY.

Buenos Ayres papers to the 18th October,
have been received by the Editors of the
New York Commercial Advertiser. They
announce that war was about to commence
between the provinces Of Corrientes and the
contiguous one of Paraguay. 1t appears
that Doctor Francia, the celebrated Dicta-
tor of Paraguay, undertook to take possess
sion of the Missionary establishment in the
province of Corrientes. Gov. Ferre DIES
patched a force to repel him and the Doc
Tor declared war. 1t is very likely that we
shall soon learn more about this singular
and interesting despot, and his empire. A
late account states that the Doctor demand
ed the delivery of 600 muskets which had
been detained for nine months in Corrientes,
and The cession of thirty leagues of terrific
ry /; and accompanied the demand with an
act OF hostility by taking prisoners all the
people of Corrientes, who were at work
on the island of Tapa. Gov. Ferre there
upon marched force of 400 men, cavalry
and infantry, TO the Missions, under the
command Of Col. ID. Jose Lopez. orde re d
out all the forces in TIE city and country
and constructed two batteries, one of nine
guns, at the Point of ST. Sebastian, and the
other of six, at that of Rosada The Para
gnayan force at Itapua amounted to nearly
5000 men.

DESTRUCTION OF TWO STEAM BoATs.
New Orleans papers of the 18th inst. bring
accounts of the destruction of two steam
boats by fre-tiIe Cotton Plant, b oat not
surpassed by any on the Mssissp pi, and
the Saratoga. This unfortunate oec urrence
took place on the morning Of The 14ah. II is
stated that the fire originated in the cook
house Of the Cotton Plant, which SO on com
municated TO the cotton piled on her deck
and guards, and in few nome hts this
beautiful steamer was in solid lass OF
flame from stem to stern, barely giving time
to those who were en- board to escaf,e with
what they had on. The flames soon caught
the upper roof of the Saratoga, an, ! contin-
ned their raVages with unabated fury. 1t
is feared that two unfortunate beiy,Irs. one
white and the other black, perishe d in the
flames, nothing has been heard of then,
since. The Cotton Plant arrived in New
Orleans the evening before with cargo of
1924 bales cotton, being or 400 II 10 re than
she ever was before laden with; 1rom 2 to
300 bales had been landed the balance
persisted with her. She sunk the next
morning about o'clock. Part of the cargo
on board the Cotton Plant was insured, but
the hoat was not. The Saratoga had no
cargo on board, having been attach ed some
time since by the United States Marshal,
and was to have been sold on the Monday
next. The loss hy this calamity is stimated
at from SS0,GC0 to 100000. Four or five
steamboats,. Immediately after the fire
broke out, raised steam and put off into the
stream. and the Mississippi was covered
with Islands Of cotton floating in all diree-
tons
