By the arrival Of the schooner Harriet, Captain
Whitney, from Sisal, we learn that priest arrived
at Merida about the oath ult, who had been cap
tured by the Indians and remained a prisoner
among them for the last nine months He repre-
sented that the Indians were very much dispirited,
on account of the probability of American force
being employed against them.
The men who accompanied Col. White from this
city, arrived at Merida on the Doth uIt., in fine
health and spirits. Having received an advance
of pay at Merida, they Immediately started for the
interior, accompanied by piece of artillery.
The government of Yucatan has made new
and equitable contract with Col. White, by which
good pay, bounty land, ETC., have been secured to
Major Mcdowell, and Capt Kelly, have returned
to the city to recruit the regiment
It is represented to us that trade and commerce
are very dull at Sisal and Merida. At the time of
the departure of the Harriet only one vessel "a
Spanish brig bound to Havana) was in the port of
SisaI. She was loading with beeves, as cargo,
for Havana. Spanish steamer had previously
left for Havana loaded with the same article. The
Harriet encountered severe Norther when one
day cut.
We understand that Col. White is prepared to
receive few companies from the interior. Aspi-
rants for military fame in the country parishes
should be speedy in their applications.
The Harriet left Sisal on the 4th instant, and
perienced heavy gales during the passage.
Passengers Col Geo w White. Capt. Robert J. Kelly.
Major ID. s. Mcdowell, Mrs f. Massendon, MIR. w. Aud,

AMERICAN THEATRE.--On Sunday evening, the
bill of fare at this establishment contained Gold
smith sterling old comedy Of She Stops to Con-
quer, the parts Of which were judiciously allotted
to the various members of the excellent stock com
pany engaged for the season. hlr. Charles, as
Young Marlos0e, acted well, the bashfulness re-
quired Of him by the text while in the presence Of
the young lady to hom his father had condemned
him to be married, did not appear assumed, but
real, as real as the easy assurance with which ne
treated old Hardcaste, while under The impression
that he was merely an oieious over-obliging land
lord. Mr. Greene, as, Old HardcaStle, made the
most Of that important part Mr.. Spear identified
himself with Tony L,snlpin, and gave general sat
isiaction. This gentleman has already made him
selfat home and bids fair TO become lavorie with
the frequenters of the American. Messrs. Kings
ley and Grierson, each of them did their best with
Sir Charles and Hastings. Mrs Coleman Pope
personated Mss Hardcastle, and stopped to con-
quer in style which pleased US much. Mrs john
ston made the most Of Mss NeUilLe-her by-play
with Tony was very amusing. Mrs. Rowe made
her first appearance for the season as Mrs. Hard
castle, and was warmly received. We may con-
clude by asserting that, from the specimens we
have seen on the three last evenings, that Mr.. Place
may boast OF having engaged an excellent COM
pany. In addition to a song by Mr.. Grosvenor, and
dance by Mr. Thompson, which was loudly en-
cored, we were much pleased by the appearance of
a sprighty young lady named La Forest, who won
the hearts of the gentlemen and robbed the ladies
of their bouquets, by the clever manner in which
she executed honpipe
Last evening, Sheridan's admirable comedy of
the Rivals" was performed to the expressed de-
light of large and fashionable audience. Mr..
Charles, as Capt. Absolute, made the house ring
with applause in the ludicrous scene with Mrs.
Malaprop. Tonight, that popular favorite, Mr..
George Jamison, makes his first appearance as
OtAello, supported by a very powerful cast. The
deserved esteem in which this gentleman is held, is
sure to attract numbers Of his admirers to welcome
him on this occasion. Other entertainments COM
plets the attraction.
