From the New Orleans Picayune, March l6.
IMPORTANT REPORT.


We learn by an extract from letter received by
commercial house yesterday, from Galveston and
dated on the 14th inst, that the schooner Mary
Shields, from Matamoras, bound to New York put
into Galveston few days since in distress. The
Captain reports the American consul at Matamoras,
J. p Schatzel, Esq. in prison at that place, accu-
sed By the authorities of corresponding with Gen.
Taylor at Corpus Christi
In addition to this, we learn verbally that Mex
ican who was the bearer of dispatches from Mr.. 8.
at Matamoras, to Gen. Taylor at Corpus Christi,
had been shot by the authorities at the former place
on his return. II is also said that 400 Mexican
troops are stationed there.
There was Iumor in town yesterday, to the
effect that Mr.. SlidelI himself had been thrown
into prison. but this undoubtaby took its rise from
the above. Should it turn out that Mr.. Schatzell
has really been incarcerated at Matamoras, Gen.
Taylor cannot reach the vicinity of that city with
too great speed. We have heard of several overt
acts committed by the Mexcans of late-one of
which was the shooting Of young American ira
der named Burney, at Perote, on the principle
ground that he was in Texas during her early
struggle for liberty; and now it is stated that one
of our consuls has been thrown into prison on no
other plea than that he has been in correspondence
with Gen. Taylor. We have said SO often thatour
government should come to some understanding
with Mexico-should have full and final settle
ment with her of all difficulties we have be-
come sick of the subject. Granted that Mexico Is
weak, powerless-yet no one can allow snarling
puppy to be continually swapping at his heels with
out kicking him out of the way at last.

man of experience is compelled to acknowledge,
however desirous he may be to lend his testimony

'He was born. He toiled and worried for food,
clothing and equpage. He sought the phantom
happiness. He died"
If then, Mankind will still persist in attending
chiefly to bodily wants. all must admit that health
should claim their first attention.
To all true enquirers, therefore, of the way to

The LATE FLoons.--Pennsylvani and New
York appear to have borne the burthen of damage
during the recentSpring thaw.- The Susquehan-
ma and its tributaries were especially visited with
the overflow, and it,made sad work among the
bridges, sweeping some dozens from their piers into
the whirling flood, and doing most extensive dam
age along their banks.
Three persons were drowned on the West
Branch few miles above Northumberland Mr..
Fulmer, the storekeeper of the Union Company,
his son, and the Clerk. Mr.. Grundy.
At Buffalo, on the 14th, the icein the creek gave
way from the flood, and several steamboats,, schoo-
ners, canal boats, &c., were either injured or des-
troyed to the value of 100000 East of Roches-
tern Monroe county, the rail road, several bridges,
&C., were injured or destroyed.
On the Pennsylvania State Works, the proper
officers were active in ascertaining the actual dam
age, which, it is hoped, will be much less than at
first expected Saturday Courier.
