About s O'Clock about two miles be-

discharge burst into fragments, killing
and wounding most OF those who were
ia its vicinity. The Hon. A. p. Up

former Charge d'Affaires TO Belgium

were all killed instantly, most Of them
drcadfully mangled aud muIilated.
Five or six Of the crew, and q
eolored servant Of the President, were
also killed. Captain Stockton we learn
was also injured, and several others,
whose names our informant could not
learn. Il. is feared ina, some were for
ced overheard by the conclusion, but,
in the confusion Of the moment, this
could not be ascertaincd.
The dead were laid out upon the
deck, covered with the national flags
and the wounded were conveyed below
and received every attention which the
limited means at band could afford. MIR
Senator Benton, we learn who was also
in close proximity TO the gun, was
prosIrated on deck by The force Of the
explosion; and Mr.. wilkins, the Sec.
rotary Of War, moved from between
Messrs Upshur and Gilemer,a moment
before the explosion. The President
was fortunately below in The cabin
when the accident occurred.
The Princeton, under The command
Of Lieut.. Mclaughlin, came TO anchor
opposite Alexandria, and the surviving
visitors reached the city by the steam
boat Joseph Johnson.
