More Details from YucotNn.

Translated from the n. o. La Patria 14th inst.
We indebted to the attentions of friend for the
following details lately received from Campeachy at
Mobile. They come from a tru stworthy source.
II seems that the Indians coniding the treaty OF
peace lately made, small party of them visited the
town of turbde where they well received by the
inhabitants short time after they had arrived
also arrived in the vicinity they under the COM
mand Of one Baquiero who, on his approach to the
town. enQuired from the inhabitants who the stra
gers were-they were informed that they JacntC
Pats Indians, that theyshad entered without doing
any damage harm that the whole neighborhood
pleased their conduct and that they would
wish to have them attacked, such course might
compromise the safety Of the whole population When
the officer to whom this report had been made, COM
municated it to Baquiero this latter replied that
though the Indians might have entered peace still
if he had sufficient force he would attack them. This
design punctuay carried out Baquiero prosum-
ed the small number and scattered condition of the
Indians. The Indians Immediately communicated
with their Chief Pat who instantly sent down REIN
forcement to attack not only the party Of soldiers who
had gained possession of the town. but also the other
troops that Baquero should send there. All these he
roes Immediately the Indians approached, betook
themselves to most shameful fight and to many
added such strength that they rested until they
arrived at Campeachy. distance of 2S leagues from
Iturbde. Splendid racers They showed sufficient
merit to raise them from the post Of drummer to that
OF Mexican General.
In view of this occurrence, would ask who are
the worst, the Indians or the whites!

chants have formed a company, consisting almost en-
tircly Of oreigncrs-itis under the command Of Don

There Ia report 81 the Executive having
hoard Of the rejection Of the treaty by Mexicoi but
think this report may be raised for some political
action upon the delegates now assembled in Bal
limore, and cannot be relied on. General Twggs,
U.SA., left here the night before last for the
South. Some time back, stated that the treaty
was here and this report, which now comes
second hand from the President of the United
States, gives coorng TO the first, and looks very
like affairs having been so arranged between the
Executive and MIR. Sewer, TO make II GER
talnty that the Mexican Congress would reject the
treaty. In fact, you may rely upon it, we shall
have no peace. General Taylor must be sent Out
OF the country and at this season of the year, the
climate of La Vera Cruz is fatal. l have no doubt
he, and all others obnoxious to the men in higf
Office here, will find their summer arrangements
made warm enough for them in Mexico.

Inc Sentence OF Langfctdf, the 4MWdercr'
The argument in the case of Langfed, on the APP
hcaton for a new trial, was heard this morning In
the court of Oyer and Terminer, holden by Judges
King and Parsons. Mr.. Longhead, the counsel Tor
the prisoner urged the consideration OF the reasons
given as of sufficient Importance to grant the rule
asked for, but Judge King overruled them IN few
brief remarks, proving their insufclency. He
then addressed the prisoner, asking what reasons
he had to urge why sentence OF death should not
be pronounced upon him. The prisoner then, by
permission, addressed the court in French, pro-
testing his innocence, denying that he was away
from his boarding house, after midnight, on the
night in question, admitting that he returned to his
bed about O'Clock on that morning, but that he
had only been down stairs to satisfy call of
nature After concluding his remarks, he sat
down, when Judge King remarked that every thing
that he had said had been fully laid before the
Jury by his counsel at the tine OF the trial, and
they were satisfied of his guilt, and in their YER
diet he also united Nothing therefore LETT for
the court, but to pronounce upon hun the sentence
of the law, assuring him, at the same lime, that
he might rest assured that there no hope of
cape from that sentence, and urged HIM to make
his preparation tor appearing before another Judge
who cannot err, and with whom equivocatlon was
vain. He proceeded to pronounce the judgment OF
the court-the prisoner standing mp: "Charles Lang
edt the sentence of the court that the crime OF
which you have been convicted, you be taken from
hence to the prison whence you came, and that at
the time, and in the manner prescribed by the
laws of this commonwealth, you be hanged by the
neck until you are dead-and may God have mercy
upon your soul" The condemned Immediately
exclaimed in loud voice, "Pm Innocent The
crowd collected in and about the court room was
not very large, his sentence not anticipated,
but the court room gradually became filled, as the
news spread of his presence there. After the sem
tence was pronounced he was taken back to prison

The news of the French revolution and all the
details, are published at full length in the Rio pa
pers; no comments are made editorially, however
We learn that when the news was first known at
Rio, the French minister took in his colors and flag
from his residence, and would not act.
The provincial assembly of Rio Janelro, had
been adjourned until the 10th inst.
News from Bahia had been received to the 18th
of March, There was nothing new In the pro-
vince The provincial assembly was declared le-
gally constituted, and was installed on the 25th.
From Montevideo we find the following news
Mr.. Gore and Baron Gros, the English and French
commissioners, arrived at Montevdeo on the 18th
and 10Th March. On the 29th the new negotiations
for the adjustment of the question of the River
Plata, had just commenced Mr. Gore and Baron
Gros had addressed notes to the Governor of Mon
tevideo, the General-in-chief Of the Argentine
confederation, and the Governor of Buenos Ayres,
merely stating 1t sad the object OF their mis-
sion, viz; the pacification of the River La Plata.
The Governor Of Montevideo and General Oribe
replied that they.g gave their assent. On the 26th
the English steamer Alecto returned from Buenos
Ayres, with the reply of the Argentine govern
men but the tenor of that reply had not TRANSFERRED.
The agents of the intervening powers remained
on board their vessels
The blockades of Salado, Ensenada and Buceo,
had been suspended. 1t must be remembered that
the news of the European revolutions, had not
then reached Montevideo. The probability is,
that the news would disturb all the negotiations.
The U. S. frgate Brandywlne had arrived at
Rio from the river La Plate few days before the
sailing of the Courier. All well. The Perry was
left at Montevideo.
