from Santa Fe.
ii Notwithstanding one day at the Majors

music In my rear, coming up the street. On
turning, discovered it To be a funeral procession

the other, ten days-dressed with black velvet
lrocks, caps and shoes with a cross in each hand.
One had a l'ghtsilver sword lying across lis breast.
The procession was preceded by music. consisting
OF a banjo and a fiddle, playing the most mirthful
music. followed to the church TO witness the
ceremony On arriving there. the corpses were
sci down at the door. Presently the priest came
OUT and at'er sprinkling them, they were carried
into The chapel, where prayers were read, and they
were again sprinkled. Not having %cofius, they
were taken from their biers and deposited in the
grave, (Which was ten feet deep) when the sexton
and others. threw down huge stones upon their
bodies, that mashed and mulilated them so that
their blood could he seen scattered on the sides of
the grave; they then proceeded to fill il up with
DIRT, &c, as is usual with us. During the whole
OF The foregoing proceedings, the music kept up a
series OF lively L" fandango" airs. The friends of
the deceased children then proceeded to their
house, where they had a fandango, which wit
messed.

.HhA IN
On The evening Of our arrival. soon after we
came 10 anchor, Mr.. Bolton, came nf in one of
II. B NJ. brig Frolic's boats, and told us that the
Mexican brig Of war Malek Adhel," was lying
in the inner harbor, and that if we intended to
make her q prize, it was best not to have any com
munication with the shore. Capt. Hull wished to
have immediate communication with the shore,
but could not allow a Mexican armed vessel TO
slip by without taking her. At daylight the
next morning, every body was busy. fitting, arm
ing and manning the boats for tho purpose Of cut
ting her ont. The launch and the first cutter
we're hOlsied out, and after breakfast The guns
were double %shUlted, and the small arms Of all
descriptions were got up and ready for use. At
IL O'Clock we weighed anchor and hove the main
iopsaIl to the mast. At !, made sail, and stood

nearly completed, and will probably be issued in
a few months. From the nature Of the subject,
and the high reputation of the author, | do not
hesitate to predict that it will command circula.
ton more extensive even than that admirable
novel OF Clinton Bradshaw. ! believe il is a
novel illustrating some very curious and interest

1t appears that DIR. Schmitt, an American
Missionary at Erzeroum, was lately treated in a

dressed a very energetic note to the Diyan, and
demanded, very categorically, and with n threat
OF North American cannon, immediate indemni.
