New ORLEANS, June 20.-No less than han
dred and eighty OF our respectable citlzens-lm-
portes and their suretles have been held TO bail during
the last week, on custom house sonds Men who
for 10 or ~ have never quilted the city, have
been compelled 10 glvesecarty that they will be forth
coming the 7lh December next or else the import
Ell who has already rendered the amount of duties in
notes of the pet and other banks, must release his
friend by purchasing specie to fill the Golfers OF the
neiarious kitchen crew, who are not only bankrupt
themselve bat have gone far to make the whole coun-
try like them.-Irue Am.
COMMODORE DALLAs.-The schooner Cora Captain
Delvalle sailed from Matamoras on the l,hnst bv
which arrival we learn that the appearance of the
American squadron under Com. Dallas of That place
occasloned the greatest CONSERVATION that the in
habitants had commenced moving their treasure and
ELECTS into the INTERIOR and that such preparations as
| ready to resist and assault. The force mustered
| amounted 10 1000 men with the two pieces OF heavy
cannon. The American seamen would have laughed
| at such means OF defence Fortunately the mat
ter was settled without blows. Gen. Fisoa COM
mander Of the troops at MaamOras repaired on board
the Constellation In company with the American
sui, and the dispute was amacaby settled We have
not been made acquainted with the terms of the ar
rangement.-Bee.
FRoM MATAMoRAs.-Our news from Matamoras is
of some importance. Com Dallas appeared eff the
bar of Brassos st. Jago the 10th inst. We are not
apprzed OF the nature OF the correspondence that took
place. San Luis Potosi was in possession of the in
surgent general Moctezumu, and it apprehcnded
at Matamoras that he would soon be in that vicinity
when doubtless rising would be effected in favor Of
the federal constitution of 1924. About 600 troops
had arrived at Maamores from the interior-bst de-
| serons from the ranks were aarmingly frequent
! on one occasion 60 men went off in a body 1t was
difficult, if not impossible check this evil-as the
seNtlnels at the OutpOsts often abandon their duty
and went off into the woods with view probably TO
join the insurgents under Moctezuma when they
should approach Matamoras. Great discomfort per-
vaded that town, and il is believed that Moctezuma
will be hailed there deliverer.
Thus II appears that the troubles of Mexico have
| not ended with the commencement of Bustamente's
presidency. On the contrary the aspect of affairs
seems more gloomy than ever We give bustamente
credit for good ntenuons for great experience in GO
vernment and irmness of purpose The false step he
| committed TO which all subsequent misfortunes may
be attributed is his junction with the priests party
which IN fact is the anti-iberal and anti-natona
party.
Bustamente has shewn creditablc degree of good
in his intercourse with the representatives of
foreign powers and his anxiety redress the injuries
| committed by his countrymen upon foreigners is
strongly contrasted with the conduct of his predeces
in the government. If al disputes originating in
this source are not satisfactorily and speedily arranged
the fault will not be his But he is hampered by the
ignorance and profigacy efhose who ought deserve
his confidence, by the Vaccinations of the priests and
the bgotry of the common people.-B.
! New ORLEANS June 2l-LArEsr FROM MEXICO
We are indebted to the politcness of Captain Collins
OF the brig Opelousas arrived yesterday from Vera
Cruz for files Of papers Of that city the 18th June
inclusive. The Opelousas sailed on the l4th, and
there was on board sl3l 600 in specie, consigned to
different houses in this city.
The message ofPresidcnt Bustamente was sent to
the assembled Congress of Mexico the LIST of June
II speaks in rather specific tone towards the United
States. After declaring that harmony prevailed in
the relations Of Mckee with foreign Nations the mes
sage continues thus
From this pleasing perspective which have traced
Of our foreign relations, have to except the conduct
observed by the government Of the United States
The law, nevertheless, which authorizes the republic
10 act on the claims Of that government and to take
proper measures for the national safety if satisfaction
Should not be gwen by us, induces me to hope not
| without good ground, that our relations with the neigh
boring republic will be re-esiablisned In the con-
trary case, the nation will place itself in an attade
demanded by Its dignity and its honor"
Concerning the internal situation Of the nation, the
"Athozgh good order and peace prevail throughout
almost the whole extent Of the republic il is painful
for me 10 except the department Of Texas and Cafor
mia, and small part Of that Of San Louis. The gov
crnment is unceasngly occupied in directing measures
calculated to insure success to the Mexican arms and
to restore 10 the republic its remote limits in the
territory ofTexas."-Bee.
| From SAN LUIS PoTosT.-General Moctezuma ha-
wing joined the insurgents who were in favor of the
cid constitution Of 1924 sailed from San Luis on the
18th May at the head Of 2e0 cavalry They were at
tackled by the government troops and entirely routed
| leaving dead on the field Moctezuma himself seven
other officers and 60 soldiers, besides many wounded
The whole army Of the Insurgents was dispersed or
destroyed.
Six hundred infantry had surrendered TO The gov
eminent troops, among them Ramon Ugarte and
| all the chiefs Of the insunecton.-U.
STEAM Bears on FInE.--Capt Butler the warfn-
ger Of the Second Municipality, has shown us the
model Of an invention Of his for steering boat while
burning
The model represents the application Of very
simple apparatus to any steamboats, rudder TO enable
The pilot to steer her without being exposed danger
from FIRE or inconvenience from smoke, when COM
PEELED to leave his post in the wheel pilot house
| The apparatus itself is well known, and so sim
pie, and its application so obvious as to require no
explanation, further than to say that by raising il up
and hooking the brace to it. the motion of the rudder
is left entirely free under the ordinary circumstances
