N Among the Items OF news re
ceived from Washington, we find it ru-
mored that proposition has been sub
mitted by the British Minister to settle
the Oregon question, and that it will be
received. We trust this may be true,
and this long pending question, which
has been kept up at an expense of thou
sands of dollars to our government, may
be forever disposed of; such result
would be highly gratifying to the coun-
try in general at this particular time.
~ The McDu6e Guards met at
! their regular parade ground on satur-
day last, for the purpose of organizing
and electing officers, when J. F. MAR
SHALL was elected Captain, J. B. Mo-
RACINE lst Lieutenant, and J. N. CocH-
ed Lieutenant.
We learn by the Charleston papers,
that thirteen companies have now ten
dered their services; eight have already
been received by the Adjutant and In
spector General-two more will be ia
ken from those offered, and who they
will be is yet to be decided Although
our State has been little tardy in vo-
lunteering, from the spirit which is now
manifested, we believe another regiment
could be raised with ease in a short
time.

NEW ORLEANS. June

ooA1@o A0AiooA3 Oopt. NluJOI, HOiu 1O-
basco, bound to Marseilles, came to an
chor off the Southwest Pass on Monday
last. She sailed from that port on the
2sth ult., having passage of only four
days to the Balize.
From Capt. Major, who came up to
the city to procure provisions, &C., we
learn that great excitement existed in
fabasco against the Americans. An
order of embargo on American vessels
was received from the general govern.
ment as he was about leaving.
The order came by express from the
city of Mexico; and Capt. Major, on re-
ceiving the earliest intimation of his ar.
rival in the city, succeeded, by the as
sistance of several friends, in reaching
his vessel. The Governor having failed
to prevent Capt. Majors departure, order.
ed said, the Mexican steamer Ventura, to
60 out and capture his vessel. The
commander of the steamer, however,
knew the Texidor was furnished with
one gun, and therefore considered it the
better part of discretion not to be in too
great hurry firing up. i
The policy Of this course was further
suggested to him by Capt. M. heaving
to, off the bar, and cutting up his chain
sheets into small lengths for shot, loa-
ding his six FOUNDER, and intending,
as he expressed it, to "smash the

TO prerem The return of The disease in Potatoes.
The Board of Trade in Holland has published
the following rules 10 be observed as preventive
of the potatoe disease: 1t is necessary to beware
Of planting those plants which have been attacked
by the disease. They must be carefully chosen
from those whose stalks have not been attacked,
and placed in situation free from the slightest
damp As the disease has been less severe in
gravelly than in clayey soils, the tubers should be
chosen from those gravey soils where the disease
has not penetrated 1t is necessary to avoid as
much as possible planting potatoes in the same
spots where they have been planted this year, for
it is most probable that seeds of the fungi have re-.

risk of the ensuing crop being similarly attacked,

eI positively. After working for about
mn hour and half, in attempting to ar-
rest the raging element, it was determin.
ed to seuttIe the boat. soon after which
she sank to the roof Of the hurricane deck.
Every thing was got out Of the cabins,
and most Of the portable articles on deck
were carried on shore before she went
down. No person was hurt, although the
passengers were much alarmed. 1t is
fortunate that the fog detained the boat on
Saturday night, o 'herwise this might have
proved a very melancholy affair. We
understand the cargo was insured. and is
very valuable. The boat is said to be in
sured for $4,000.

sunk in about thirty feet water at her
stern, and twenty at the bows. Diving
bells were used throughout thu day yes.
