The BArE AND There is
a paper published in Flew Orleans. one
half of which is in French and the other
IN Engllsh--the French part being in
favor Of Judge White for President,
while the English half goes strongly for
Van Buren,. If a lie is told in English
it is contradcted in French, and visa
versa. In short. it is said to be very
accommodating paper.
Imports of Grain.---We learn from
a sta.emen. 10 the New York Journal
of Commerce, that the imports Of
wheat at the port Of New York, for the
half year ending on the sO!b June, a.
mounted upwards 10 LIS, $500 bushels.
Corn aud Rye being duty free, no reg
ular account is kept of,them, but the
Journal supposes the Quantity Of Rye
imported during this period has been
quite as large as that of wheat.
1t is stated 10 the New Orleans pa.
pers that Mr.. Olwyn J. Trask, young
gentleman who greatly distinguished
himself at the battle Of San. Jacinto,
and died recently at Galveston ofinju-
res in that engagement, had not re.
ceived wound which, under ordinary
circumstances, would have been severe;
but the ball on extraction was found to
be copper, which occasioned unusual
inflammation aud irritation, and produce
ed a fatal result. The employment>of
such means Of itself, places the Mexi-
cans beyond the protection Of the rules
OF honorable wal fare, and is an a.rocity
which might have been expected from
men guilty Of the massacres previously
nacted.-Their next achievement will
probably be aresort to poisoning the
springs, and the provisions which they
will be constrained to leave behind in
the retreat, to which they are surely
doomed. AT the commencement OF
the war, Santa Ana spoke Of the "ex.
termination OF vermin." To which
party in the contest is the epithe. mos,

Immediately pronounced, the horse
foundered, and said he must lie bled 10

nipper on his nose to keep him stea.
dy. thea tockupthe left leg, and cross.
ing it over the right, gave it to an at
tendant /; he then stuck his lancet into
the vein little above the fetlock Joint,
and took from it about three pounds
and halfof blood---the vein bled very
freely. He now said he had taken G.
nough !; he then wens to, the very OPP
posile side of the leg, and striking his
lancet into a vein above the knee Joint,
single drop of blood exuded, and
both that and the first opened vein in-
stantly ceased bleeding.-.There may
be no novelty in this, but it certainly
as'onished me to End, that opening
two veins in the same limb. stopped
both from bleeding, such however is
the fact, for | witnessed it. >
He desired tina, the horse shoald
rest the mex. day, that he should then
be rode with great violence until he
was in profuse perspiratlon, the dis

salt 60 which | added pint of hot
brandy then rubbed dry, and then
walked about until cool, and all lame
ness from that time disappeared---ths
horse the third day was perfectly we'll.
