The Observation-Disclosures de la Vega rel,

The PERUvIANs.-Garcillasso de la Vega relates
that Spanish priest, perceiving that the Peruvians
chose rather to hang themselves than to labor in the
mines, addressed them in the following words: "You
wish to hang yourselves, my friends, that you may
not be obliged to labor since that is the case shall
hang myself too, but must warn you of one thing,
which is, that there mines in the next word as
well as in this-and give you my word that will
make you work throughout eternity" Upon hear
ing this, the poor Indians threw themselves at his
feet and besought him not to commit such rash
action. Had two-thirds Of these unhappy wretche,
destroyed themselves, the orator would have beer
much embarrassed to keep his word with the rest

SINGULAR coNpucr,-The st. Louis Reveille, in
the course of some remarks on the case of Russell
who has recently been sentenced to two years and
half imprisonment in the Missouri penentiary, FOL
the commission Of forgery, whereby Messrs
Chouteau & Vale, Of St. Louis, we're swindled ou
of a considerable amount, says:
at appears that the prisoner was Of very respect
able standing in society-enviably so. His char
acter for honesty and moral worth had never beer
impeached by SO much as suspicion; but, from the
fact of having become embarrassed in a pecuniary
manner, he was induced to the preparation of this
crime which has lost him his caste in society, and
put upon him the name of tslon. After having rea
lized the price Of his honesty, singular as it may
seem, instead Of fleeing the country, we find him
returning to the place his abode not more than six
ty miles from the city where he had committed the
crime, scrupulousy paying off all his creditors in
vesting the balance Of the proceeds of his fraud in
produce, taking it South, disposng of it, and again
returning to his home, evidently manifesting no ap
prehension of arrest or punishment The case, il
strikes us, is without parallel in the criminal cal
endar"

General Robert Armstrong, the newly appointed
consul to Liverpool will shortly visit this city with
view to consult and advise with factors and mer-
chants interested in the produce Of the valley of the
Mississippi The importance Of opening new
markets for our agricultural produce in the United
Kingdom is beginning to be felt The late reduc-
ton of the duties on sugar by the British govern
ment has given great satisfaction to the growers of
that article in Louisiana. II will be General Arm
strong's duty and pleasure, we doubt not, as our
consul at Liverpool to avail himself Of all practical
information he can collect during his short stay here
from merchants and planters, in order that, when
he arrives at his post, he can act advisedy in pro-
noting the agricultural interests of the valley of the
Mississippi which have been too much neglected
and overlooked of late years.
We trust the dealers in provisions, tobacco, SUI
gar, cotton, &C., will concern themselves in this
matter and be prepared to furnish him with the de-
sired information.- o. Courier, .Ap,ii IL.

AQUATIC NovELrY.--A great deal Of surprise ha,
been created during the week by the manner il
which one of the officers of the Caledonia flagship
comes on shore. He descends the ships side to III,
waters edge, puts on Macintosh dress, and in
fates it with air by means of small pair of bel
lows. He then steps into the water, and, immersed
nearly up to his breast, with two small paddles
very rapidly works himself on shore. As soon a,
he lands, he takes off his dress, and, throwing i
across his arm, it being very light, attends to hi
duty or his pleasure il may be. He laughs at tn,
idea of taking boat During the trial cruise of tn,
ships in the channel, he passed by this extraordi
nary means from one ship to the other.

much as to be heard OF now, or In IIoS Woud
gentlemen say that no enlargement Of the Union
was contemplated by those hardy western settlers
who were ready to fight for the possession OF the
mouth of the M ssssippil We had extensive north
ern regions yet unsettled, and every emigrant
thither from our own fresides abroad had right
to all these medtated expansions whenever such
additions of territory or States became useful to
protect either their families from border butchery,
or their property from page on its way to the
ocean or TO foreign markets. II was settled as
ear ly as in the old Congress, well as in the con.
vention, that the mighty West and Southwest should
be protected and incident to that great de.
cision, and to other constitutional duties devolved
on us for preserving the domestic tranquility and
property of all, we were bound with the iron bands
of both duty and policy to give that protection,
whether by buying Louisiana or Florida, or admit
ting Texas TO unite her destinies with ours. We
stood, then, fully justified in carrying out the pres
ent measure, not as one merely within the words o.!
the constitution but its legitimate object-one sane
toned by the spirit no less than the letter OF the
sacred charter formed by the great patriots and
statesmen who made the decision before mentioned,
and introduced the provision for admitting new
States. Such course and such an expansion OF
limits accord well with the genius Of our people
and the genius of our government. All these con-
siderations, with many moreJ have not time to
enumerate, show the present measure TO be within
the spirit both of the clause we are considering and
of all our institutions the provision in the confed-
Grafton show II; the changes IN phraseoogy IN the
convention shows il; the remarks of Madison and
Hamilton show il; the duty Of progress and protec-
ton to our people shows il and the statesman who,
after all this, and the evidences Of our growing des-
TIMES on the western continent, can be content to
overlook all and make Chinese wall against our
enlargement in the West and Southwest, must, in
my apprehension, limp far behind the age. You
may as well, sir, attempt to dam up the flow of the
waters Of the Mississippi to the ocean, as stop this
advancement Of our people"
