From CAmpEAc1tY.-The schooner
Washington. Capt. Jsbnson, arrived herel
Yesterday from Campeaehy. She brought
mo papers, SO far as we could learn The
reports that the Mexican stesn m
ship Gnadaloupe arrived at C%stnpeachy on
the 18th inst. She had previously touch
led Mt Sisal, where she made q demand on
|the authorities for certain men. Being
refused, she proceeded TO campeachy,
where tho same demand was made. The
authorities Of Yucatan refused compliance
with the demand, and 1t was thought hos.
|~tiIitIss would follsw. Others imagined
that the steamship was lying off tiete
merely for the purpose Of watching the pro-
csedings Of tho Yoeateeos. All this mat.

it more ineligible. .

PhRL1Amrnr.--The several bills which
have been under discussion 80 long in thf
House Of Commons, in relation to Ireland,
are passing through their various stages
slowly. Nothing new has occurred. The
