The TROUBLE IN YucATAN-By an arrival
at this por. yesterday, we learn that the village
of Iturbide is stated to have defended itself for
eight hours against an overwhelming force of
savages. The loss on the pant of the whites
was % killed and IL wounded. The whole
coast is overrun by the savages. More than
100 900 refugees are now crowded into Cam
peachy, and should il fall into the hands of the
savages. but few could escaped, as there is
but little shipping there.
The Amelgo del Puebla published at Cam
pcachy states that the British Minister had re-
ceiycd an offer of the country, which he had for
warded TO his Government, with his own iavora-
bic opinion of the samc.-BoSion Paper.

The following, according to the correspon-
dant of the n. Y. Tribune, is the position of
the members of Congress, on the nomination
of Gen. Taylor for the Presidency
OF the Wings of the House there are but
three non-contents with the nomination Of
GEN. TAYLOR.
Messrs. Giddings and Root Of Ohio, and
Mr.. Palirey of Mass Two or three gentle
mon bolted against the nomination Of Mr.
Winthrop, and cannot make full pretensiOns
therefore TO the character of Wings. Still
believe that Mr.. Giddngs and Mr.. Root take
the nomination of Gen. Taylor more in sor-
row than in anger" by-and-by, when their
disappointment is somewhat softencd, il is
currently believed that they will come in for
the ticket. They can say of Gen. Taylor, as
the politicians Of South Carolina said of Gen
Jackson /" lie is not their choice, but their
preference"
