BRAZIL AND THE UNITED STATEs-The Cow
eminent organ Announces the recall of the
Brazilian Minister, and says that Mr.. Lsboa
presented to the Secretary of State, on Friday
las Mr.. Felipe Pereia Leal, late Secretary Of
Legation, Charge d Affaires from the Court
of Brazil.
We give the hope of the Union that Peace
may be preserved between us and Brazil, and.
sincerity desire tina it may prove reality:
We are yer, DESTROYS of preserving the best
feelings towards Brazil, and we will not per-
NIT ourselves to believe that her government
does not cordially reciprocate the sentiment.
Mr.. Lisboa is recalled, but no passports have
been offered to Mr.. Wise. Mr.. j o +. our new
minister, is now on his way TO RIO Janeiro:
and we cannot doubt but that and mutual ex-
plantations will restore our former relations to
the best footing. 1t has certainly been the de-
sire of on, Administration to do full Justice to
the Brazilian Government, without compromit-
tug either her rights, or our own. Mr. Tod
will, we doubt not, express this sentiment in
the frankest manner.
We understand, from the EmDeror's late of
fetal message to the Deputies, that he is not al
together satisfied with the Arrangement which
was made through Mr.. Lisboa and it is also
said that the late m nistry which had recalled
Mr.. Lisboa, has been superseded by a new cab
met. new minister, on the part of the Uni
ted States, and new ministry on the part of
the Emperor, will, we trust, remove every diff
ficulty and restore the best relations between
the two countries.-PiHs. Gazett.

By the arrival of the steamer Alabama, we
have advices to the above dates.
Gen. Scott was at Puebla on the 9th inst,
awaiting the arrival of the renforcements en-
route under Generals CadwaIlader and Pill
ow.
Santa Anna has ordered all communications
to be cut off from the ''Yankees," and prohibited
all notice of the state of defences at the Capt.
tai.
The news from the City of Mexico was very
indefinite. Gen. Scott had communicated to
the Mexican authorities that Mr.. Trist, as an
authorized agent of the Government, was i'm his
camp, and authorized to negotiate peace.
Santa Anna was to leave Mexico in three
days from the 30th, to take the field. The sue
cess of the American arms was not doubted by
our troops.
Gen. Pillow, it is said, would be compelled
to contest the road all along with Guerilla par
ties, until he got beyond Cerro Gordo. The
enemy took advantage of defile to arrest his
progress, and his loss is said to have been Sc
we're in an engagement with them.
The Government of Puebla was entrusted to
Col. Bolton, of the Sd Artillery. Alvarez was
at Jalisco, on the 18th of June, with 800 Cav
airy.
The ''American STAR" printed at Puebla,
says there are three months provisions in the
City, and the fields around supply all necessary
forage.
The Mexican used every means in their pow
err to induce our men to desert: and they treat
those who are guilty of such indiscretion shame
fully.
On Sunday the Goth, party of eight Amer
cans, not connected with the army, left Puebla
on the Hayciends road towards Mexico, for the
purpose of purchasing mules; they were en-
countered by party of Lancers, and compell-
ed to fight. All the Americans were wounded
and one supposed to be killed. Five were sup
posed to be taken prisoners by the Mexicans.
The Project of Puebla recently decamped for
Mexico, with all the city funds.
Perry's expedition to Tobasco was entirely
successful.
A rumor was current at Vera Cruz on the
morning of the departure of the Alabama, that
Gen. Scott had entered the Capital, and that
Gen. Pillow had been captured by Guerillas.-
The former is false; and no credit given to the
latter.

The prize cup, offered by Mr.. Burke, upon
the occasion of his benefit at the Arch Street
Theatre, Philadelphia, on Friday evening last,
was awarded to Mr.. Geo. w. Allen, No. "a,
Old York Road, for the blowing, which was
selected by the audience as the best epigram
offered:
On Mexican soldier, shot in battle, by an
American Bootmaker:
His hide is cut, he's got his ball;
He's lost his sole, he's lost his a,ol,
He's got his last, he's got his end;
He's got hole he cannot mend
That which was considered next best, and
for which the prize was strongly claimed, was
as follows:
Santa Annals legs bone aud stick,
Have set the people punning,
But rayors being short and thick,
We're never made for running.
Another upon the same subject was as fol-
lows:
'l'll die or conquer Santa Anna swore.
"Who'ilwrite my eptaph when I'm no more?''
On Cerro Gordo's heights, he changed his mind;
He ran-but left his LEG behind.

Capt. walker and the Guerillas.

PERoTE, (Mexico,) June 9th, lS47.
We have quite lately been engaged in seve-
raj dangerous scouts at least they might be SO
if those cowardly dogs were not so easily fri
ghtened at the talismanc name of Walker.
We attack towns of five hundred inhabitants.
On Wednesday last we went on scout of this
kind to town called RicoDada; there were
but sixty of us-we discharged into it at run,
and YOU never in your life saw such scamper-
ing among the towards. This place was
twenty miles from Perote- We left there at
II o'clock TO beat up swamp where some
mule drivers had been murdured. Before we
arrived at the place We met with three or four
Mexicans, and with them one of the men who
was with the murdered party. They had tied
him and went in pursuit of the other two and
while they were absent he united himself with
his teeth and escaped. They told US where
the murdered men lay. We marched forward
in double quick time, and there they lay sure e.
nough stripped entirely naked, and cbopded and
manged in the most horrid & savage manner.
The man who escaped said there were seventy
of the murderers each armed with pistol and
Ratchet, and that they went into rancho or
town some distance from here. We returned
to it, and made them feed us and our horses, at
one o'clock in the morning charged into the
rancho and took every ID of them. | was
sent round the town IN search of skulkers; l
found several-two of them were ploughing
with oxen, and drove them from their ploughs
thinking at the same time that twenty ofthem
would not drive me from mine in old Baltimore
county. We marched inst our own number
(nineteen) into the castle, prisoners. This
was about twenty miles from La Puebla.-Balf.

GF~In an article, which we published not
long since, from the ". Y. Tribune, para
graph occurred, which was calculated to give,
we doubt not, a false impression of the reputa-
ton of the fourishing village of Grand Rapids.
Our object in publishing the article in question
was to give our readers the information itcon-
tanned in regard to the business, growth and so
forth, of the place. The ofensi We paragraph
was suffered to accompany the remainder the
article nadvertentyno Intentionally, for next to
the espionage exercised by the Bankrupt, Lew

pertinent pryipg into the moral delinquencies

has very properly undertaken the defence OF
the place and indicated its character complete
ly, by showing that the nefarious transactions
to which the Tribune Correspondent alluded,
were confined at most to half dozen individu-
ais or less, and that the people were, as in duty
bound, engaged in ferreting them out, at the
very time the correspondence was Written
We have mislaid the paper containing the Ea-

NICHOLAS P. TRIsT.-Ths busy functionary,
who has been sent to Mexico by Polk, as po-
itical agent, to try effects of the three millions
of secret-service money voted by subservient
Congress, was formerly our Consul at Havana,
at one time private Secretary to General Jack
son. He is one of the grandsons Gn-law) of
Thomas Jefferson, and has been long remarka-
BILE for thorough-going subservience to the
slave-holding interests in the South, iniure
whom it might. He is the author of a thick
octave written in the defence of the perpetual
ton of the slave system, which Congress prin-
ted as an official document. When at Havana,
where he cleared upward of 100000 wear, he
was charged with series OF tyranncal acts,
among them the Imprisonment of Capt Wen
dali of Mass. in dirty cell among felons, be-
cause he would not advance three months wa
ges to a very drunken mate who had deserted
his ship at Matanzas-the Imprisonment of
Capt. Love Straw-the cruel punishment of
the seamen of the VIM. Engs-and with par
ticipating in or aiding to the utmost, the slave
trade. Lord Palmerston wrote Mr.. Fox, at
Washington, repeatedly, to demand the atten-
ton of the U. S. Government to Trsts con
duct, in officiating Portuguese Consul at Ha-
vana, which was cloak for a friend to the At
rican slave trade, His iordship openly charged
Trist with furnishing slave papers through tine
American Vice-Consul, and demanded his dis
missal, which, of course, Mr.. Van Buren,, who
was then counting the slave power for rec
lection, was in no haste to consent to. Trst
was upheld, the South conciliated, and the can
did Mr.. Calhoun rewarded his friend Van Bu-
rem with the nine South Carolina votes, when
they could be of no use to him.-IriJune.

WHAT is THE CAUSE.-THE Loco Focos have
been telling US all along that the high price Of
Wheat and Corn was owing to the Triff of 1916
The pretence was as shallow and the false
hood as great as ever characterized the conduct
Of an Inscriptions partizan. For the month
past the prices of Breadstufs have been recor-
ding, and at the principle ports of entry almost
without any dimunition of receipts. Men have
been purchasing BreadstufEs at high prices I'M
der the official and semioffical predictions that
there would be no reduction. The editor of
the Nashville Union, who declared that $50
long as the present tariff remained high was
one of these, and can, perhaps, explain to the
corn growers of Tennessee how this fall was
occasioned.
The last number of the Journal of Commerce,
free trade paper, thus notices the recent re-
vultion in the corn trade:
"The price of corn is now so different from
the expectation of the owners far West, that
the charges are more than the article is worth.
Large parcels of corn and some other produce
have been abandoned to the forwarders, and
many cargoes the consignees would sell for the
charges. The original purchase money is
therefore total loss, and where the owners are
able, they will suffer still further loss.,,
Well, Messeurs free traders, your tariff of
1916 is in full blast, and yet we are told ''the
original purchase money for wheat is total
loss T" Find some other reason now for present
low prices and the past high ones. Make a
good story,-one that, as Hamlet says, shall be
as easy as lying."-Pitts. Gazeh.

and other Mexican prisoners, had been released
and ordered to Tampico under all escort of nine
hundred men.
Verbal reports state that when the prisoners
had arrived within $50 miles of Tampico, they
were met by party of Mexicans, who detain-

same source, also state that Gen. Urea was
raising forces to attack Tampco. Preparations
were making to defend the place; and, for this
purpose, three companies, awaiting transporta-
