LATE FROM TAMPIco.-From two passengers
on board of the brig Louisa Adelaide, which ar
rived yesterday from rampico, we learn that in
the night of the 9th October, Gen. Montenegro at
the head Of the garrison of that place. declared in
favor of the Federal Constitution of 1924.
This event was effected without the eflusion of
blood and Immediately afterwards Gen. Don Jose
Didas Piedras, colonel of infantry, a captain OF
engineers, captain of artillery, and lieutenant
were placed on board the Louise Adelaide 10 be
carried to this city; but at the earnest request Of
those officers, they were landed at Matanzas, on
the 18th. The brig sailed from Tampco on the
Sth, at which time that place was in state OF
perfect tranquility. No insult had been offered
to the French in 'rampico, during the commotons
which had taken place.
The two passengers from whom we obtained
these details, have come from the interior of the
country, having travelled from the city of Mexico
to Tampico, and though Frenchmen, they have ex-
perienced no rudeness whatever from the inhabi-
tanls. Although the French in Mexico are in con-
tinual dread, and are constantly armed, yet up to
the 9Th instant, the Mexican populace had broken
into no excesses against them.
By this arrival we have received confirmation
of the news of the arrest of Gomez -Farlas, and
others.
We are also informed by persons arrived by
the Louisa Adelaide, that no French vessel ofwar
had been seen off Tampico during the last six
weeks.-N. O. Bee.

Murder ofa Child By its Mother.-The neigh
borhood of the 9th avenue was thrown into great
excitement yesterday by the rumor, found un-
happily true, that respectable woman had mur-
dered her infant Of Is months old, and attempted
also to commit suicide on herself 1t appears
that Mrs. Mary Ann Rhodes, a woman Of high
spirit and good character, being embroiled in
some unfortunate domestic differences with her
husband, carpenter, who is stated to have ne
elected her and not provided necessary comforts
for the family, became distracted almost from des-
pair, andin an evil hour, when she had believed
Of pleasure to Staten Island, administered lauda-
mum to her infant and to herself-which proved
fatal to the first, most interesting child, but not
to the mother, who confessed she had committed
the crime, and lamented she could not have been
consigned by the same means to common tomb
with her child .~#

STAGE ROBBERY.
CHAxBERsBuRo, (Pa.) Nov. 20.

CHAMBER5BURG, (Pa.) Nov. 20.
On Sunday night week and on Wednesday
night last, the boot of one of the stages which
nightly leave here for The West, after the night
train OF cars arrive from the East, was robbed of
ITS baggage, within less than mile Of town. In
both instances the trunks, DC. were found the
following mornings in field near the road, OPEN
ed and rfed of such articles as suited the fancy
OF those who stole them. Fortunately for the
cause OF justice, vial containing some caustic,
and file suitable for opening trunks, &c. were
found near the trunks taken on Wednesday night,
which liked suspicion on an itinerant fellow, who
made his first appearance here some six or eight
weeks since in the character OF a show-actor,
who calls himself Mons Dosage, and compan-
ion Of his named James HanshaN, who worked
at the hlacksmithing. They were accordingly
brought before a magistrate on Thursday,
and, for want of bail, committed until Friday
when they were to have been examined. On
that evening, however, Mons. Dosage, being
promised a small sum of money and his liberty,
by gentleman who had pocket-book taken
from his trunk containing notes, drafts, &C.
amounting to upwards Of 100000, and at whose
instance he was arrested, confessed the whole
matter, and accompanied the gentleman to sta
BILE where he had his property concealed. The
owner of the stage which had been robbed, how
ever, did not suffer Mr.. Dosage to make his es-
cape, but had him again, very properly, lodged
in Jail. All the property taken on Wednesday
night, with the exception of about twenty dollars
i'll money. had been recovered. But Of that sto-
len on Sunday night week, considerable amount
in silver spoons, jewery, and other fancy articles,
which belonged TO apedlar, are still missing.

A Row.-On Wednesday evening last row
occurred on Windmill Island, which came near
terminating seriously, between some Of the hands
employed to cut canal through il, and the pro-
prie,or Ola shanty, with whom they boarded. A
dispute arose about the boarding accommoda-
tons which was carried to such an extent that
the parties finally commenced knock-down argu-
men,, in the course Of which the proprietor Of
the shanty, at one time, attempted TO make use

however, finally overpowered, and the danger

Butchery Of the Mormons.-The tables are
now turned, and the poor Mormons are getting
sewed up. The butchery of 80 Mormons on
Spawn's Creek, Missouri, after the surrender to
the State troops, is confirmed. Two children
were slain, and several of the Mormon houses at
Charlton were burned, and the slaughtered fana-
tics plundered. AT Far West Mormon had his
brains dashed out by citizen, who accused him
Of burning his house. The company, however,
that committed the butchery at Splawn's Creek,
were not part Of the State troops, bu. fighting on
their own hook. 1t must be confessed that the
previous outrages Of burning. plundering, &c. by
the Mormons, were grievous provocaon to
almost any act Of retaliation.

which was to be delivered on the river bank at
