Or wouldst not bear the implements Of

And glory midst the intensest sufferings!
Though beaten-imprisoned--put to open

Time shall embalm and magnify thy name.

From the Philadelphia North American
Outrage to our Flag.
AN AMERICAN SEAMAN IMPRESSED

The Eastpor, Sentinel furnishes the
particulars Of most flagrant outrage,
which. if true, will require the prompt
and decided action of our Government.
No such case has occurred since before
tho war Of 1919, and they then formed
one OF the principle causes for decla.
ration of hostities. As yet the affair
has assumed NJ form of direct proof,
and we shall await the return Of the
vessel from the West Indies with con-
siderable anxiety.
The Sentinel says that, from facts
which have come 10 its knowledge, it
is quite satisfied that the brig Brook
line, of that port. owned BY james w,
Bass, ESQ.,, and commanded 5y Am
brose Spates, was overtaken at sea on
the Cd inst, by her Majesty's steam fri
gate, Columbia, and that one OF her
crew was forcibly impressed and car
red on board the steamer. The Brook
line was bound from Eastport to the
West Indies, AMI rs Capt. Spates did
not communicate with the owner after
the outrage, the Sentinel had no means
of uscertaining the particulars. But
Captain John Winchester, of the Julia
Ann, had informed II, that on the Sd
he came to anchor at West Quoddy,
where he found the Brookline, and was
told by Capt. Spates that the Columbia
had boarded him and had impressed one
Of his seamen. As the Julia Ann was
bound into port, and belonged to the
same owner, Capt. Winchester spared
hand to supply the place Of The one
abducted from the deck Of the Brook
line. The Sentinel was informed also
by Capt. John Spaies, of the schooner
Gen. Foster, that the outrage was seen
by him-that it was committed outside
of Campnbela. in a calm. and when the
columbia and Brookline were offScoit's
Head. As the Columbia approached
the Brookline. Cap. John Spates says
that he neard an order from the steam
er commanding the brig 10 throw out
her ,op.sails to the mast, and the reply
that ''the top.saiIs are already aback."
He then saw boat with an officer and
several men put off from the Columbia
and board the Brooklne, and apparent
Iy take possession Of that vessel. Loud
conversation Immediately ensued, and
was continued while he remained near
enough to hear. Capt. Spates thinks
the Columbia's boat did not return from
the brig for half an hour after boarding
her.

Gen. Taylor's Movements.

The following ex'racl is irOma letter
written to the editors of the New Or.
leans National, bv an officer of the u.
niled States Army, now in Mexico. -
IL appears IN that paper of the 9th, and
is said TO be worthy OF every conf
dence: ..... . ,.
"Any speculation as to Gen. Taylor's
movements, YOU must receive as spec
nlation only, as The old gentleman rare
ly gossips. Staff officers receive or
ders from which they infer, and their
Inferences are generally well founded /;
from such sources they travel abroad
IN ali shapes, and occasionally straggle
into type. The General had ordered
100000 raiions to be in depot at En-
carnation; we have received no coun-
ter orders, although the impression
seem. to prevail that all idea Of for.
ward movement is. for the present, a.
bandoned."

The Intercepted Dispatch.

The Union pronounces the pretend.
cd letter, which hrst appeared in the
Mexican papers as an intercepted dis.
patch from our Government to Gene
raj Scott, a positive forgery. There
is not fact stated which is true. Says
the Union:
"Every member ofthe cabinet knows
that new loan may be made that
new troops may be raised. Ever!
one knows that no such information
has been received at the War Depart
mcnt as is here alleged; and that the
10000 men can be obtained. General
Scot, has never relied upon rsvolu-
ton for fnrthering his views upon the
capital; and no authority has ever been
given to him to propose an armistice.
There is forgery through every line OF
1t; and it is put forth to deceive and
encourage the Mexicans."
In relation to one paragraph Of the
correspondence, the Philadelphia Ledg-
er well says: ssq #ls
"On reading this paragraph. one is
struck with the remarkable similarity

Gen. Kearney and suit arrived AT the

rose from Americans located north o,
Monterey, who are restless under mill
tary authority.
A company Of 776 Mormons arrived
at San Diego. Many of the party had
expired from the severity of the march,
severe exposure, and from the conflicts
they had with the inhabitants.
Col. Burton bad proceeded by sen to
take possession of Lower California.
Com. Biddle was commanding the
squadron which was at Monterey al
the time the party left.

Latest from Mexico.

The JalIapa Bulletin OF the 9Th of
August, copied in the New Orleans
Picayune, gives what purporis to be in.
,ercepted letters from the Cabinet at
Washington. in the United States, TO
Gen. Scott, in Mexico, as copied from
the RepubIioano, printed q. the Capitol.
The dates of the correspondence are
omitted in the Mexican publication.
The letters alluded to as published in
the "Republicano," 60 on to state thai
the difficulties of raising the number Of
troops demanded by Gen. Scott under
the present entangled state of the f.
nances of the Government, will! be dill.
6cult.
The letters further proceed to say
that "the Secretary Of War much fears
you (Gen. Scott) will be compelled, un.
expectedly 10 remain in your present
position in the centre of Mexico, in a
state of inactivity; as also Gen. Taylor.
TO your skill and foresight as Mill
tary Commander, we trust most conf.
dently Tor the safety and security OF
your present forces and position. and
that you will well employ the resources
which you have as well as those which
shall hereafter BE- furnished by the War
Department."
The dorument further mentions that il
the revolution which is now agitating
the Capitol OF Mexico, so desirable IN
our part for the purpose of negotiating
peace, be not far enough advanced, (as
announced by you.) to open the gates
Of Mexico by the 4,h "f June. you will
have 10 exercise sufficient tact to OBJ
tain an armistice, by amusing the Mex.
lean people with propositions Of peace,
and neutralizing in the meantime the
Guerilla parties which so much annoy
you."
