NEW VERSION.

Pmor Boar RoMER--The object Of the despatch
of this vessel Liverpool, by whom she was char.
tered whether by Lord Pakenham, the United
States government, or the "bears" or "bulls" in
Wall street.-the only parties supposed to have suf-
6cient at stake to justify such moycment--none
could tell The affair was involved in such mystic
ry that people OF all classes were for some days kept
in a feyersh state Of excitement, and hundreds
gathered upon the whmves and Battery to witness
The departure Of the boat She is gone, aAd her mis-
sion is now known.
Ii appears that a gentleman who has for many
wears been extensively engaged In the manufacture
Of carpet at Astoria, Long Island, sailed from Bos-
ton in the last steamer, leaving his business in such
a situation as to alarm his creditors, particularly
those from whom he had recently obtained large
loans under various pretexts. The pilot boat was
chartered by them, and her departure delayed until
the papers could be prepared, with view to the ar
rest of the fugitive in England. We learn from a
source entitled to credit that the name Of the refu-
gee is Richard Clark, and that he leaves his credi-
Tors minus about one hundred thousand dollars.
The leuer-bsg receipts Of the boat amount to about
s6 600, SO that If the parties fail to from
Clark, they will lose nothing by their enterprising
exertions.--N y Giobe.

MEXICO.


The New Orleans Picayune has letter from its
correspondent at Havana, in which the following
statements are made respecting the ex,President of
Mexico:
81 learn from an unimpeachable source that Santa
Ana is making preparations to return to Mexico.
He anticipates leaving here on the 9Th or 10Th of
next month in the British steamer for Vera Cruz
This will, however, depend much upon his advlces
to arrive per steamer the 9Th but that he returns
there, and that very shortly, too, you may rely up
on There are other on dts about him that give
for what they are worth 1t is said that he is much
exasperated the design of few traitors to sell the
country to foreign powers, after the wasting of so
much blood and treasure to achieve Independence.
His return to Mexico will be marked by entire
change in his policy. The United States, if her
minister is of the right stamp, will become his fdu'
.4chate,-for money he will adjust the Texan boun'
Diary and cede California, defending himself to his
coun,rymen upon the plea that this was the only
method left to preserve the integrity Of the republic,
to resist the insdious attacks of foreign cabinets up
on her liberties, to preserve them from return to
the Spanish yoke which they so nobly threw off,
and to retain their position among the nations of the
earth as an independent power"

LAND TROUBLES IN INDlANA.--The Indianapolis
Journal states that great excitement exists at Pc
ru, Miami county, in consequence OF an attempt
having been made to enter, under law OF the late
legislature, a large number Of the farms and i'm
proved lands of persons who had purchased canal
lands from the State Of Indiana. In the course Of
the session, it appears that the legislature suffered
to pass, without particular examination, law un-
der which all persons who have neglected to pay
their interest on canal lands are liable to have them
entered as forfeited lands. An attempt was made
by large number of persons to enter lands under
this law The populace in the vicinity, considering
the law at variance with justice, and operating so as
to deprive the settlers of the value Of their hard
ings, their homes, and their improvements, imme.
diaely congregated, repaired to the land Office, and
put a stop 10 further proceedings. An express was
Immediately sent Indianapolis, calling on the gov
ernor to protect the settlers from the mercess
paci,y Of those who were despoling them Of their
possessions. The governor, without delay, despatch
ed letter to the superintendent of the Wabash and
Erie canal, who is also superintendent Of the land
office, directing that the Office be Immediately closed
to all the entries under the aforesaid law, and char
acterizing the law az a fraud upon the public, sur
rcp,itiously carried through the Legislature without
proper understanding of its bearings.

Extract Of a letter, dated

BENNNeroS VT, January %, 1886
The high ground taken by the President is
approved by all parties. The correspondence be-
tween Mr.. Buchanan and Mr. Pakenham fully
sustained him as to our tile, that II was clear
and unauestionable. Under the circumstances in
which he was placed, it may have been justi-
fable to renep the proposition of his predeces-
sors to compromise on the 49tn degree; but con-
siderit fortunate that Mr.. Pakenham rejected the
proposition, and still more fortunate for the Presi-
dent that he improved the favorable opportunity
TO withdraw the proposition, and assert our right
to thewhole Oregon territory
"The declaration OF Mr.. Adams III the House,
sustaining the President in support OF our title, has
stopped the mouths Of every wing In this sec.
ton.
The question Of title being settled in the Presi-
dents mind he could do no less than recommend
The course pointed out by him IN the message; and
al the end Of the year, after notice shall be given, the
government cannot abandon Oregon without a
sacrifice ofboth national honor aud interest
"The President thus far has discharged his duty
with fidelity to the csuntry, and the great mass OF
the people will sustain him il he continues to stand
firm and unswed by factions that rise in opposition
"Since writing the foregoing letter, have read an
article in the Union Of the 22d, headed 'deirium
htmtns' 1t fully accords with our feelings. The
question is simply ought 10 protect our citizens
on our 0,cn SOIL and keep our soil for eiH

of our rights and will be accountable that he does

The suspense OF an anxious and excited commu-
nifty is the hot-bed in which strange and exuava-
CANT rumors Profusely produced. Ills 90 a, the
present moment. The Washington letter writers and
the wing papers of the North are tseming with re-
ports in every variety Of form. We are told o. NO
gotiations that are on footofthe terms which the
President would make a compromise-nsy, OF the
terms which have been offered by the parties; and
still, one step further Of a treaty which has been
agreed upon One Of these statements is published
in the New York papers, in the form Of "memo'
randum from very intelligent gentleman from New
England"
"From sources ofimportanee worthy of credence,

There are rumors also, and confidently asserted,
of new message to be speedily communicated to
Congress abou; the boundaries Of Oregon
We are sure it is unnecessary 10 say that these
political gossips must know more of what is going
forward than the diplomatists who are themselves
behind the curtain. For our own part we are not
advised of anything about negotiations, or terms
proposed, much less a treaty concluded.
The papers also full of rumors abou, the aster
lsks in Mr.. McLane's letter. These, too, of course,
are vague concctures. But the most amusing part of
the story is that it charges the President with sup
pressing fact, which it was most important for
him to have put forth, as calculated to add strength
and gain votes for the notice-viz: that the British
government would consider the notice offensive.
