JOHN Bulls LAsr.-The twenty seven thousand

and may be reinforced by tens of thousands in a
week, and what is more, will be rein forced by
such mutltudes with rapidity in proportion as

imminent. The situation of the six thousand
conquerois, therefore, under the ramparts of tho
city of Mexico, " before them walls behind

DRUNKAkD's LAND.-lt is supposed to havo
been discovered in the early ages; and it was Wis.,
Ited by Noah soon after the flood. Ii is situated
quite on the opposite hemisphere TO the beautiful
continent of Sobriety, although there is now u
smooth road uniting the two. This road was
made by very respectable person by the namo
OF Moderation, who not aware of what he
was doing until he found himself within the capi-
tai of Drunkard's Land, large populous city
named andyburg, situated in the heart of the
country, and regarded as its principal stronghold
You arrive at Drunkard's Land by embarkinr
at Natural Appetite, thriving town on the Coast
OF Health, you then cross tho Moderate Ocean;
round Iipling Point pass Cape Decency, and sal
ling through Riot Bay, arrive within sight Of tho
continent. The first land that meets your Wow
is that of the Convval Mountains, n long and lof-
ty chain of hills oncrcling the entire territory,
and al the base of which you land.
II is bounded on the north by tho Modcate
Ocean, already mentioned on the east bv lrreli-
gon, on the west by Brutality; and on the south
by the Botonlless Pit.
The country, from its extreme northern boun.
dary, all the way to the Pit; which constitutes its
southern limit, is one regular decisity, pretty
RAPID all the way, but remarkably abrupt as it
nears the bottom; the whole life of the inhab-
tants Is occupied in making their way from
The top OF this slope TO the base; this is accom-
pllshed generally in u very short poriod, and
each individual terminates his short existence by
rolling or stumbling off the brink of the preci-
pIce into the abyss below.

CONVERSION OF PROFESSOR ALLEN.-The Rev.
George Allen, A: NJ. of the Prodeslent Episco-
pal Church, renounced the ministry few days
ago, and public conformed to the Roman Calho-
lIc communion The Philadelphia News says.
lie was received into the bosom Of that Church
with the usual pomp and solemnity, and partooll
of the first sacrament at the altar of ST. Johns
Cathedral. Prof. Allen was for many years
President of Newark College Delaware, and pre-
sided over its affairs with distinguished ability,
For the last two years he has been connected
with the University of Pennsylvania. and is at this
time Professor of Latin and Greek, and Secretary
OF the Faculty. Tho sudden change in his re-
glous views has surprised the clergy aud laity of
the Episcopal denomination, from the fact that he
has hitherto been regarded staunch Protestant
We have no doubt that this conversion will cre-
ate quite sensation in the religious world.-Er.

INTERESTING FROM VENEZUELA The accounts
we receive from day to day are so inconsistent
and so vague, that we are at a loss to say how at
fairs really stand in this quarter The only au,hen-
tic information received at Porto Cabello from the
seat OF war-which we obtain from Capt Jordan,
of the brig Lyra, who arrived last nights, that
General Paez and his army had full possession Of
Maracaibo, and was sustained by strong force
Ourprevous accounts were to the 18th of Nav.
Monagas was then CHARTERED at Caracas, and 4
battle was expected to have taken place at Mara
calbo soon after. From what we now learn, it
may be presumed that AIonagas avoided collision
with the troops OF Paez and permitted him to take
possession quietly Had there been battle. it
would undoubtedly have been mentioned
Nothing is said by this arrival of the movements
OF Monagas; he no doubt remains at Caracas. 1t
was also reported at Porto Cabello, on the 18th
inst, that General Paez had left Maraca,bo for
the interior, whether with view of allowing Mo
nagas to enter the city or to give him battle, is no,
stated. II was, it is said at one time, the iuten-
ton OF General r. to permit Monagas to take Ma
racalbo, in order that he General P.) might
blockade the CITY, and siave him into a capitula-
ton. A reinforcement of government troops was
to leave Porto Cabello on the 18TH The public
opinion, and even of the government officers. was
that General Pacz, though recently unfortunate.
would succeed.

BRAZIL AND THE ARGENTINE REPUBLIc.-
files of Rio papers by the Brazliero, contain very
httlc of interest to the people of the United States

an announcement of the completion OF the new
ministry, as foliows:--5r. Jose Pedro, Minister oil
Foreign Affairs: Sen. De Cnvaiho President of the
Chamber of Deputies Jaquins A. f. Lcao, Mi
mister of Marine. The news o. the French revo-
luton, and the connections following in Europe,
accounts of which arrived at RIO in the early part
of April, excited, it Is said IN the Journals, not
the least sensation among the population of Rio.
They pursued all their usual diversions with unin-
erruped alacrlty, and not the least demonstration
of sentiment or sympathy colld be noticed in any
quarter Fail accounts, chiefly from the London
Times, crowd the Rio papers at present, to the ex-
cluson of other matter At the latest dates from
Rio de Plata, received at Rio by the Engisl,
packet the Spider, with accounts from DTontevdeo,
OF the 22d April, and Buenos Ayres the 18th of
April, II appears that nothing definltve had oc-
cured In the solution of the question of the
Oriental State
General Oribc still insists upon his claims, and
continues his hostility. The two agents of France
and England at Montevdeo, paid visit to Gen.
Orbc at his camp, where they remained in dis
cussion with HIM for five hours, and came away
much dissatisfied with the result of their inter
view. General Rosas is represented at Buenos
Ayres to be equally d,ficic, and unwilling to make
any arrangements with the English and French
peace makers.
