FROM THE RIO CRANDE.

The following article we extract from
the Flag oflhs 9th inst.
I'VE mentioned in our paper Of the Sd
inst., that : lot Of silver. valued at ninety
thousand dollars. arrived here on the LIST
inst. The dpsies on this (seven per cent
will amopat to aboEt seven thousand dol
lars. II was consigned to Mr., J. P. Schat-
zsh, ex- United States Consul. As money
appears crmewhat difficult to raise here
on shor. notice, our commandant allowed
him 20 take the silver on his giving his
W.itten promise for the amount of the du.
ties, payable on demand. Yesterday 1.-THE
7th) the payment Of the duties were former
~ demanded, but were not met. Our act
i've and efficient collector, Capt. w. w.
Chapman. was compelled, by tariff regula-
tions dated March 80, l647, to place a SEN
tinel over the silver. Mr.. Schatzell most
unaccountably refused to pay the duties.
refused to deposite number Of bars Of the
silver equal to the value of luties--would
not tell where the silver was, nor give the
key to any Of his rooms. This is the more
strange after the indulgence shown him by
our worthy commandant, Col. Davenport.
Captain Chapman mad no other course left
but TO force door, which he promptly did,
found the silver. and plnoed strong guard
over it.-RepublicaD
