01T A Detroit Correspondence of N. Y.
Express says
Captain Marryatt has been in town and
has had the pleasure of seeing himself
burned in cfigy, by bonfire made of his
own works. He appeared very little in
public. lie then explained his insulting
toast TO female acquaintance of mne.-
He was invited by Capt. Drew and "hs
brave comrads" to dinner. Capt. D..
toasted "Capt Marrytt and the British Ma.
wy" and then this redoubtable hos, insisted
that Capt. M. should toast the last distin.
guished act of the navy Of which he was so
worthy an ornament. Capt. M. protested
that as he had SO lately enjoyed the hospital
ty of the Americans, and was soon again
to visit them, the sentiment would be in
bad taste, and make him unpopulor.-Copt.
d. "and his brave comrads" ns;stod-the
good easy Capt. M. yielded and thus did
an act Of consumato folly and ingratltude.
The Capt.'s explanation, if true, is very
weak one. Capt. NJ. is now on the oppo-
site shore on visit.

Ayres. that the blockade would last long
time, if it did not lead 10 something more
serious.
The alleged causes of complaint by the
French Government is that the Government
Of Buenos Ayres will not admit the inter-
vention of foreign agents in favor of tho
citizens Of lereign countries when they have
established themselves there. The state
of Buenos Ayres, it is urged by the Go
vcrnment, is sovereign and independent,
and no foreign government has a right TO
interfere in what said state may decree /;
and if the laws they think proper to pro.
mitigate be not agreeable to foreigners, they
can quit the country"
The French citizens, in favor of whom
the Consul of France has interposed, and
in reply TO which interposition the Govern
ment has put forth the preceding general
principles, are Monsieur Martin LaTe,
who was compelled to serve in the militia
or pay substitute; Monsieur Jourdan
Pons, in similar situation; Monsieur
Bacle, who, it appears, is imprisoned, and
Monsieur Pierre Larre, who, it is stated

Murder Of a Missionary Family.--The

"Dear Brother Capcrs-I am ruined -

tidings. 1t informed me that the Indians

as the letter stated but o my God, it is, if
not even worse My precious children,
Corick, Pierce and Elizabeth, were killed
and burned up in the house. My dear
wife was stabbed, shot, and stamped, seem.
ingly to death, in the yard. But after the
wretches went TO pack up their plumber, she
revived and crawled off from the scene of
death, to suffer thousand deaths during
the dreadful night which she spent alone by
the side of pond, bleeding at four bullet
holes, and more than half dozen stabs---
three deep gashos 10 the bone on her head,
and three stabs through the ribs, besides u
number Of smaller cuts and bruises. She
