Plcayune, from our private correspondent
at Pensacola, that the store ship Relief
was still detained at that port. 1t was re-
ported that she had been detained TO carry
Gen. La Vega TO Vera Cruz, but it was
a mere report. She was expected to get
away yesterday without fail.

The Abrasia. The additional report which
we have received BY This arrival Of the
Tobasco expedition; furnishes few paFtlc-
uiars requiring mention from us. The
callantry OF Lieut.. Parker. of Plttsburg. is
warmly commended. Lieut.. Parker, it
will be recollected, commanded the prize
vessel which got ashore and was attacked
by an overpowering force Of Mcxicans,
whom he gallan;ly repulsed. We have
been assured by an eye witness thn his
party Of twenty-three men Killed fifty Ian
GERS in defending themselves. Letters
have been received making an apology
Tor the Mexican troops who attacked Par
ker, alleging that they were not aware Of
the truce, OF terms upon which Com. Per-
ry had dcsisted from firing uporthe town.
On the same authority II is said, that the
loss Of life and property during the first
part OF the hombardment was absolutely
frightful. Nothing is said Of the hnSi
bombardment, when a hundred more shot
were fred.

TALE BEARING.

Never repeat story, unless you are
certain it is correct, and even not then,
unless something is to be gained eth
err of interest to yourself, or for the
good Of the person concerned. Tat
Ting is mean and wicked practice,
and he who INDUCES in it, grows more
fond of it in proportion as he is sue
cessful. Ifyou have no good to say
Of your peighbor, never reproach his
character, by telling that which is false.
He who tells you the faults of others,
intends to tell others ofy our faults, and
so the dish of news is handed from one
to the other: until the tale becomes en-
ormous. A story never loses any thing,
it is wisely remarked; but on the con-
trary gains in proportion as 1t is repea-
ted by those who have not very strict
regard for truth. Truly "the tongue
is an unruly member, full ofdeadIy poi

CUNNING AND MEMORY OF THE HORSE

CUNNING AND M EMORf VI lHE HOhSE
A curious instance of the cunning
and memory displayed by the horse is

late General Pater, of the East India
service, was remarkably fat man.
While stationed at Madras he purchas.
ed charger, which, after short trial
all at once betook itself to a trick Of
lying down whenever the general pre-
pared to get upon his back. Every
expedient was tried without success,
to cure him of the trick; and the laugh
was SO much INDUCED against the gen
erals corpulency, that he found it con-
venient to dispose of his horse to a
young officer quitting the settlement
for a distant station up the county
Upwards oftwo years had subsequent
ly passed, when, in the execution of
his official duties, General Pater left
Madras, to inspect one Of his frontier
environments. He travelled, as is
the custom in India, in his palanquin.

shoulders.) The morning after his ar
rival at the station the troops were
drawn out: and rs he had brought no
horses, it was proper to provide for his
being suitably mounted, though it was
not easy to find a charger equal to his
weight. At lengbt an officer resigned
to him powerful horse for the occa-
sion, which was brought out duly ca
parisoned in front of the line. The
general came forth from his tent, and
proceeded to mount, but the instant
the horse saw him advance, he flung
himself fiat upon the sand, and neither
blows nor entreaties could induce him
to rise. twas the generals old char.
ger, which, from the moment of quit
ting his service, he never once practis-
ed the arti6ce until his second meet.
