posed to have been engaged in the slave trade, and
thought they might attempt to make their escape to
the United States. The captain of the Emmons
states that coffee was scarce and held at high prices

Plata, that the French charge daffaires had con-
scented to strict blockade of Montevideo, and tina,
the French admiral would carry it into effect.
Official information had been received of the total
defeat and route Of the Montevdeans under Gen.
Rivera, who had escaped with only 30 men. The
Montevideans were driven into Rio Grande and
forced to lay down their arms to the Brazilian au-
thorities.
We have late news from Bahamas, Bermuda,

important
A traffic has been opened between the Bahamas

THE MEXICAN INSTRUMENTS AGAIN,

The Washington correspondent of the New York
Journal of Commerce touches, on the 7th inst the
"Merican indemnify again. He refers to letter Just
received here from friend of the house of"Hargous
& Co. of Mexicon--which throws the responsible
ity Of the transaction upon Mr. Shannon, and con-
cludes that according to this version, "Mr. Shannon
will be found to be responsible for the acquttance
given Mexico and for the loss of the instan,ents
to the claimants" Mr.. Shannon will be in the
United States and win answer for himself; but we
have little doubt that the lucid statement of Mr..
Green, in the last evenings "Union,n has placed the
saddle on the right horse.
lfthe correspondent of the "Jcurnal of Commerce.
is not more correct in his other Statements than he
is in the following section of his letter, we should
suspect the accuracy Of all his statements. After
quoting, from the "Unon" Of Saturday evening, the
version of our correspondent he says, without any
authority at all:
at evident that the government of the United States
have neglected the matter and that instructions have
sent Mr. shannon since the arrival Of Mr. Green by
whom Mr. shannon letter asking instructions The
only apology made by Mr. shannon silence is that he has
had no instructions" aIs
Now, it will turn out that the administration has
been guilty of no "neglect," but that it has faithfully
discharged its duty. When they came into power,
they found the diplomatic intercourse between the
government of Mexico and Mr.. Shannon interrupt
ed. They could not, therefore, instruct or employ
him to obtain the necessary information from the
government of Mexico The administration in
structed him to return the United States But the
Secretary of the Treasury lost time in instructng
special agent who went from the United States,
and with whose name we are acquainted) to obtain
the best information which he could collect about
the two missing instalments. He (the agent) dis
charged his duty, and was been informed by Mr..
voss, that drafts had been given upon the treasury
for their amount, and receipts given for the drafts,
but that those drafts had never been paid by Next
co. The charge Of neglect, therefore, falls at once
to the ground.

GOVERNOR STEELE'S ADDRESS.

DEAR SIR; You and your readers are doubtless
already conversant with the principal facts con-
nected with the seizure of the schooner Spit.
fire" on the coast of Africa, for alleged participation
in the slave trade, on the part of her officers and
crew. Having been sent to this port by those en-
gagged in her capture, she arrived here some weeks
sincej and as soon as the necessary arrangements
could be made, the case brought to trial before
the United States circuit court now in session in
this city. The prosecution was conducted on the
part of the government by Hon. Robert Rantou, jr.;
Col. ]. P. Rogers, and p w Chandler, esq, acting
counsel for the prisoner, Capt. Flowery, who
tried first and alone his crew being used as
witnesses. The main count in the indictment was,
intention to engage in the slave trade on the coast
of Africa The trial occupied some five or six
days, and was brought to close yesterday. The
charge of Judge Sprague to the jury, was able and
impartial The jury were absent from their seats
about an hour only, when they returned verdict OF
guilty, against the prisoner, recommending him to
the mercy Of the court. The offence Of which he
stands convicted, is punishable by fine, and inn
prisonment not less than seven years.
This was the first case Of importance coming
under the direction OF our newly-apponted United
States district attorney, Mr. Rantoul, and on this
occasion he has far exceeded the public estimate
(hgh it was) of his talents and legal requirements,
The opposing counsel were men of acknowledged
ability and great experience, but they were no
match Tor the giant nteiect whicn was Ptteu against
them The thorough knowledge exhibited by Mr..
R. all the diversified subjects connected with this
important and responsible case, involving as 1t ne.
cessarily did, acquaintance with the Spanish ana
French languages, nautical terms, navigation, and
the laws and commercial regulations of other coun-
tries, was subject of universal remark among the
large numbers who witnessed his mastery efforts
This is the first verdict which has been obtained
under the existing laws Of the United States Tor the
suppression OF the slave trade.
The trial of the "Spitfre," with view to con-
demnation is reserved for future OCCASION Mean
time she remains in durance vile, "under charge Of
the United States marshal.

a strong disposition on their part to water rot the

There remains now no doubt of the election of
W. D. Moseley, Governor Of Florida, and David
Levy, representative to Congress. The mail from
the East of last evening brings accounts of an over
whelming vote having been cast in almost every
county east of the Suwannee for these gentlemen.
Mr. Levy, it is said, has already majority Of 800,
and Mr.. Moseley's majority is not much less.
Gen. Call, west Of the Suwnnnee, has 300 majority
Deducting this from Mr.. Moseley's majority east of
that river will leave this latter gentleman still
iorty Of 600. We have made no estimate of Mr..
be much greater than this. II 10 said that not a
single wing has been returned to either branch of
the legislative council east Of Leon county. The
Oldest and most popular wing leaders in east Florida
have been defeated by overwhelming majorites
