An ESCAPE FROM CApT1vITY-A morning
paper announces the arrival in this city of James
Gammell, one of the "sympathizers" who
were taken in Canada, and condemned TO death
but had their sentence committed to transporta-
ton. The account says: -
Gammell and eleven others were sent ont
from England in the ship Canton, to IIobar's
Town, on the 22nd of September, 1885, and
reached there January 10th, 1910. They were
all sent one hundred miles into the interior to
work on the great road leading across the Is.
land from Hobart Town to Launceston, Here
they acorked in irons for t,co vars. After that
Lord John Russell sent out orders to mitpate
their condition. They then received each a
ticket of leave" and were allowed 10 work
at their respective trades, on their own account
but still to be kept confined TO the interior and
never be allowed to go to any seaport on the
Island.
Gammell, however, was allowed pass by the
magistrate OF the district to 90 to Hobart Town
to get model for stump machine and, BY
the assistance Of some American sailors then
at Hobart Town, made his escape on board an
American whale ship, and reached this CITY in
fine health and spirits last Wednesday, being
the first of the American prisoners who has
made his escape frem Van Dienan's Land.

AUTOMATICALLY narrative Of the Aiiganistan
war compiled for the Nalchez Free Trader, we take
the following interesting particulars.
The first campaign, in 1889, cost nine millions
sterling. 1t is estimated that six millions will not
cover the cost since that date. An army of 80 900
men rs thought to be necessary TO subduc and then
defend the country against instruction.
The camn followers of the Army of Indus
amounted to $4,000 being Just five times more than

LATER FROM TEXAS.

The steamship Neptune, Capt. Rollins, arriv-

from that city to the 1lth inst.
Among the passengers brought by the Nep-
tune we notice the names of Ex-President
Lamar, Dr. Thos. X. Lamar, Hon. Arson Jones,
Secretary of State of Texas, Mr.. Burnley,
&c.
The cotton crop all over the new republic is
said TO be very tourishing.
There are still nearly 400 men at Corpus
Christi under Gen. Davis, and they are repre-.
scented as spending their time in inglorious in
activity. They have some twenty Mexican
prisoners with them men Of SONS standing from

The Texan privateer Washington recently
captured and sent into Galveston the schooner
Mary and Elizabeth. She was loaded with a
large quantity of POWDER lead and other con-
traband articles Of war, together with coin. A
dispute has arisen whether she was a Mexican

RHODE ISLAND.

We regret to perceive that the restless spirit
of rehell;on appears to be again in motion in
Rhode Island. The Providence Journal gives
the following information:
"Our paper of to-day contains abundant evil
dence that anothet attempt is contemplated
against the legal government OF the State. No
one will question the duty OF the government
TO take instant and strong measures for tho sup
preston of this wicked plot against the peace
and liberty of the State and whatever means
may be deemed necessary, the citizens will be
found prompt and determined to assist in exc
cutting them. AT the same time, we trust the
General Assembly will not allow these proceed
ings to have any influence in preventing that
body from taking such measures in regard to
constitution, as in its wisdom shall seem best.
Attempt to rescue.--Wetherby arrested on
charge of being concerned in the expedition to
Warren, was carried to that town yesterday, in
custody of Sheriff Johnson, of Bristol county
Soon after he left the city, there were ndca-
tions that an attempt would be made to rescue
him, and party of five or six men was immedi-
ately sent on the road. They found the coach
in which Wetherby was placed, stopped a little
way beyond the bridge, on the Massachusetts
side. William Hidden and man ma ned French
were there. The coach was stopped by driving
wagon across the road in front of it. vo-
lent attempt had been made to rescue Wetherby
and in the conflict, his pantaloons were torn
quite off, and he was provided with new pair
at Warren. The attempt to rescue him was
not renewed after the arrival of the party sent
to the assistance of the officers; and the pr is
oner was safely lodged in Bristol jail, to which
he was committed for custody until after his
examination, in default of bail in the sum of
$1,000. His examination will take place this

From the n Y. Observer of J,.ne o.

Intelligence received from Providence confirms the
fears Of renewed disturbance and outrage in Rhode
ISLAND. From the energetic and decided proceedings
Of the lawful authorities, II is evident that the adhere
ants Of Dorr are preparing for new acts OF agitation
AMI violence.
We learn that on Thursday Gov King left Provi-
dence in the Massachusetts al O'Clock for Newport.
He has ordered all the militia Of the to proceed
to Providence The steamer Providence had been
chartered, and would take the troops from Newport,
Bristol, Warren and other towns the river, so that
5000 men We're expected TO be under arms at Prov
ldence yesterday.
They will march without delay to Chepachet, SIX
teen miles Distant the head quarters of Dorr and his
adherenis twas generally believed that Providence
would be placed under martial law last nigt. These
facts we learn from officers Of the steamboat Massa
chusetis The steamboat Providence arrived about
SIX oclock astcvenlng at Providence from Newport
having on board three or four hundred soldiers
We have received the following slip from the office
of the Providence Journal dated
Friday, y. m. June "a
We are informed that three artillery companies
from Newport, Bristol and Warren, are ordered to
Providence this afternoon, and that steamboat has
been sent for them.
The Marine Artillery and Sea Fencbles are ordered
out for twenty four hours service
From Newport-Wc have not vet received our re-
port of yesterdays proceedings but learn that the
committee to whom were referred the petitions for
constitution, extending the right Of surageand equal
Ising the representation to the General Assembly,
have reported bill calling convention for that pur-
pose.
II provides for extending the right of voting for de-
legates to the convention to all American born citi-
zens re,dent three years in the state and one year in
the town IN which they offer to vote.
II was supposed that the bill would pass, and that
the General Assembly would rise to-day.
The Journal OF Commerce of Saturday says:
1t is understood that Major Davezac who was an
aid to Gen Jackson at New Orleans, and is now n
Representative from this city in the State Legislature,
passed through Providence on Wednesday, 10 ioin
the insurgents at Chepachet and is said, to take
command of them.
If Major Davezac is the Representative of Mr. Van
derpool and others of that party who have been, by
the counenance and aid they have given Dorr, the
authors of all the real trouble in Rhode island there
are no terms of condemnation too strong for their
wickedn
