and sober-minded citizens Of the capital
aud elsewhere are anxious for peace. and
willing to yield 10 US as the basis the ielt

The Philadelphia Bulletin, alluding TO
the rumors that Mr.. Trist was going 10
Mexico, as an Agent of the Government,
says:-"He not only does not go as
plecipotentiary to carry out ultimalum 10
Mexico, but goes, IL no public capac,ty
,Maleter. His real purpose is 10 visit
sick brother in Louisiana, who is in charge
of sugar plantation belonging 10 both Of
them. Mr.. Trist has not seen this rela-
live since his return from Cuba, We can
with equal posiliveness, deny the COM
! monty received belief that Signor Atocha
went out 10 Mexico on behalf our Gov
ernmcn,. He never was sent out, IN any
capacity, by the administration. We know
this assertion will surprise many, but when
we make it, we speak by the card"
From Rio ,Janerio.-Papers from Rio
Janeiro, to The 2nG ult. have been recel-
we'd a, New York, with advices from
Monrevideo to the 10th Of Feb. The
Geueral-iu- Chief, Fruc,uoso Rivera, ar
rived at Moulevdeo on the Sd, from Nal
donado, accompanied by several officers,
including Col. Espiuoss and Secretary
Bravo, who had been supposed to have
been dead.
We learn from the Rio Janeiro Mer-
cantil, Of the 23th CT February, that MIR.
Wise. the U. S. Minister, had addressed
note 10 the Government, soliciting an
audience to deliver to His Majesty letter
Of congratula,ion from the President of the
United States on account of the birth Of
Her Highness; but that the Government
replied. sin view of the occurrence which
took place in the months Of November and
December last, and The expressed of pub.
lie opinion on hat occasion, it was deemed
inexpedient TO grant such an audience al
present."
From Central America The Balize
Observer Of the Sd instant. says 1--WE
have seen letters and papers from Gdata-
mala 10 the 18th of March but fnd no.
thing in than of interest. Strange TO- say
there is no, word about the. reported iu-
vasion Of a portion ofthe Mexicac territory
by Gen. Carrera, accounts Of which we
have seen 10 late American papers; on
the contrary he is reported 10 be paying a
visit 10 an English vessel Of war OH the
Pacific side. We rather think our New.
York contemporaries have been imposed
upon. At all events, If such an expedition
has really been undertaken; Gen. Calrera
is not in command"

has been received from these Islands.
Some difficulty had arisen on accountof
several barrels Of brandy being seized al

being smugsled from the Hamburg brig
Helene. They were taken to the custom
house, where they were recognized by.
Mr.. Godfrey, super-cargo Of the Helene,
who, however, denied all knowledge of
the transaction. BY this offence the yes
sci was subject TO confscation, and the
persons committing it to heavy penalties.
bul as this was the first that had come
under the notice of the Government, a
fine was imposed Of S2,500 aud the brans
dy publicly empted iuto the street in front
OF the Custom House.

A slave depot, called Gallineos, known to

blood beheaded the whole number, placing
their heads on poles stuck in the beach,
