FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE Loss OF THE
STEAMER TALIsMAN On Friday morning. about
five O'Clock, the steamer Tempest. on her way
down to Memphis, came in collision with the
Talismau, bound from Pittsburgh to this port,
and sunk the latter to the hurricane deck. The
accident occurred about five miles below Cape
Guardian, and the loss Of life was most depor-
able-at the lowest estimate one hundred and
thirty persons persisted and of these but FIVE
were cabin passengers A large number of the
lost passengers were farmers and their families,
emigrating to the Upper Missouri and Mlssis-
sippi country and out OF between one hundred
and seventy or eighty of these, who were passen-
gers on deck, but twenty-five could be found af-
ter the accident. Nineteen horses were lost, be-
longing to the passengers. Seven negroes, be-
longing to an em grant, were among the drowned.
Five cabin passengers were lost. A young couple
were drowned in the cabin, who had been mar
ried but few days previous at Cincinnati. Two
children were also drowned in the cabin. The
boat sunk so rapidly that the passengers were
,riven to the hurricane deck in their night
clothes. A passenger stated to US that immedi-
ately upon being aw Ike with the concussion, he
attempted 10 draw his boots, and before ne
could do SO The water was up to his middle in the
cabin. The Inflated Talisman, heavily fire. lighted,

Young lady passenger was hurried 80 suddenly

forced to leave her reticule, containing 5000 In

ANNEXATION OF MExrCo.-Under the present
temporary possession of Mexico, we think there
is every chance of occupying that country per-
manently, and of civilizing the people, into the
bargain. There is no government there. We
can't make treaty with a country without
government. We will be compelled to hold on !;
forced to send an army of occupation there, con-
sisting Of volunteers, enlisted for six months or
ayear. Every six months, some twenty or thirty
thousand Americans, fresh, hearty and bucksome
fellows, will go tolthat country;yand when the
period of their enlistment Is expired, instead of
returning, they will become annexed to the Mexi-
can ladies, and there they will remain, Ameri.
canize the republic, and in the course of few
years, Mexico will be so much changed as to pre-
sent the same appearances as Texas and Loui
siana do now We can send fifty thousand fresh
American troops there every six months. None
of them will return. They will all be swallowed
up by the senoritas-they will all be annexed
Their places will be supplied by emigrants from
the old world; and thus the movement will 70

ylction that her Msjesty's steam frigate Colum-
bia had impressed seaman from the brig Brook
line, Spates, owned by John W. Bass, Esq of
this port. Such, indeed, proves TO be the fact.
The Brookine has returned from her voyage to
the West Indies, and we have had converse
ton with Capt. Spates on the subject His state
ment is substantially the same al was made by u.s.
founded upon what he communicated to Cant.
Winchester, OF the Julia Ann, at the time We
learn that Mr.. Bass has made represe ntaion to
our government, and claims redress and compen-
sation for the interruption Of his lawful business
We trust, most certainly, that the Secretary (
State will not only press satisfaction for the
wrong in this particular, but Tor the far graver
one Of indignty to our feg,. The people Of the
