The river Nunez was blockaded by the British
steamer Albert, from the 24th OF January uii The
l2th OF March No boats nor vessels OF any nation
we're allowed to pass On the 7th OF February the
supercsgo of the Robert the vessel by which these
accounts are brought,) went board the Aiber, to
inquire about the blockade. The acting Lieutenant
IN charge would not allow him 10 trade with the ma
lives within the bloeksded district and having as
certaiDed that two belonging TO the Robert were
British subjects he demanded that they should be
given up. This was refused. lie then said he would
come on board aud take them by force Finally
to prevent further trouble the two men were sent on
board
The brig Elizabeth, of Salem, in the river
when the blockade was laid and was not allowed 10
leave until the l2lh Of February The Robert aud
tho Oriental were detained two weeks. This block
ade il is stated ruined the voyages Of five Ameri-
vessels which trade to said river
The British brig Ferret fired into two American
vessels while Capt Cook, Of the brig Robert was on
the coast which about seven months One OF
the vessels fired into was the brig Gen Watson, OF
Philadelphia. An officer from the Ferret went on
board aud apog,zed, and stated that he told his ma
rne 10 lire wide but the supposltion Is that was
done inten ionally During the seven months which
Capt Cook spent on the coast, he saw but one Anne
rican vessel of war, viz the Porpoise, which called
at the river Gambia in January, stopped Is hours,
and then proceeded to leeward. American vessels,
according to Capt. Cocks statement, suffered more
from the insults of British cruisers, than from the
misconduct of the natives.
King Sanah the principal king on the river Nunez,
died in February last. II will be recoected that
about three years ago the United States schooners
Dolphin and Grsmpus were sent to call him to ac-
count for deprepatons committed American yes
sells.
Trade was dull American goods were plenty
and very low while African produce was scarce aud

which arrived on Saturday. in six days from Vera
Cruz, quite interesting Santa Anna had arriv-
sumed the reins Of government One Of his first
acts was to issue, through the Minister Of War and
Marine, proclamation announcing the expiration of
the armstice with Texas the revival Of a state Of
hostilites, and his intention to prosecute an active
war. I he dispatches which are published to the
Mexican commander General VOL, reveal the
light in which the sanguinary dictator regards the
generous people TO whom he owes his forfeited life,
and the spirit and manner in which he purposes to
harass their borders. From these instructions TO
Gen. VOL, we translate as follows;
Because Texas had abused the grace granted her

THE ZOLL YERElN TREATY.

We are gratifed to fnd that the intelligent
chants Of the North, as well the planters in the
Middle and Southern States, being aroused to the
extraordinary conduct Of the Senate in rejecting the
Zo Verein treaty At a moment when England,
under the pressure Of her condition. is exerting every
nerve to monopolize the commerce Of the world and
when impeled by sense of reciprocity of interests,
the German League, whose trade is second only in
value to that of England, makes exception to her
system in favor and tenders advantages in her
market which DE- MED to all the of the world
we fnd our Senate under the influence of the Goa
liton, which overlooking the public interests gu
supposed to have the monopolists and the Presi-
Dental candidates, who to reward the political
associates who constitute the combination-and
hence they reject every which does pro-
mote the interests of the monopolsts the popular
iy of their candidates.
lad the Zoll Veren treaty put money into the
pockets of that part Of the coalition who look to mo-
nopcly their share Of the spos, if it would have
promoted the popularity of their candidate and thus
increased the chances of those who look to the ho-
nors and emoluments of office their share of the
spoils, it would have been quite different matter
Bu as the treaty was made under the Administration
and by the directions of President Tyler il was re-
jeced. Is this sufficient reason for doing so Will
the People think it so

in manner that reflects but little credit upon those
entrusted with the regulation Of our foreign trade
We had II IN our power TO open an immense trade
wi h the Ioll Nerein, which represents twenty seven
millions of people. The Germans are tired Of the
monopoly so long enjoyed by The manufacturers of
Grea Britain, and would gladly take our manufac-
lures of cotton, twist yarn, &c, TO an immense
amount, provided we took fair quantity of their
manufactures. The manufacturers of this country,
through the acts of their high tariff Senators, have
lost an immense market for their goods who. by
their adherence TO the most short-si GIFTED policy,
have refused to accept treaty that would do more
to extend and build up our domestic manufactures
