The usual quiet of this pretty inland town was
somewhat disturbed this afternoon, from, as learn.
the following circumstances. A certain married
couple residing In this county, some nine miles
from mere, lived upon terms OF intimacy sufficient
ly long to be blessed with one of those pledges of
matrimony which usually strengthen the bond, but

husband went one way, and the wife another, the

OF time, however, and not long since, the father
managed to entlce the child now over two years of
age, away from its mother and placed it in charge of
one OF his relatives: The mother, however was
to the mercies of an offended husband, and set
about to reclaim it. And finding that she could
not get possession of it by consent, she concluded

Matters and Things in Ponce.


Our rttle town, though not so renowned as New
Orleans or Havana, occupies, as suppose you are
aware, no mean place among the notabilities of SUI
gardom. AT least we think so, and small people,
you know, are allowed to have large opinion of
themselves.
Our harbor presents quite a business-llke aspect,
there being about thirty vessels at anchor in close
fleet, the greater part of them hailing from the
United States, and all in search of our famous
staples, sugar and molasses. AT this season, the
crop being at its height, many Of them come in
ballast, bringing only the cash necessary for their
purchases, and our market is well stocked with pro-
VISIONS; but at other times, their outward cargoes,
consisting Of -four meal, lard, butter Goldfish, &c
90 great way towards the purchase of their re-
turn loads. BY far the largest portion of our trade
is with the United States; yet so slight has been
the influence of our close and long continued init
macy with the enlightened and progressive repub-
lie OF the North, that we are still a century be-
hind them In everything that is good and useful.
We have mean, stingy, despotic, old fashioned
government, which we receive at second hand
from old Spain; and we ourselves are such easy,
good natured folks, and so accustomed to being
imposed upon, as our fathers were before us, that
we take it to be all right and natural, and we move
along quietly amid the astounding changes and
revolutions going on in the world around us, as il

Important from Yucatan-Four Days Later.

Translated from New Orleans La Patria 18th inst
Yesterday we received papers and letters from
Campeachy up to the 18th April, four days later
than previous dates. These have arrived by way
of Mobile by the schooner Rafaea. From one of
our letters of the 10Th April, we make the follow
ing extracts:
"Here we are going on badly, very badly, as,
Notwithstanding the treaty celebrated between Go
vernon Barbachano and the Indian Pat, the Indians
have already entered the territory of this State and
have possessed themselves of Iturbide and Cibal-
chen, towns about twenty leagues distant from here
(Campeeachy), which were abandoned in the most
cowardly manner by the troops placed there to de-
fend them. In this way the Indians can now range
over the whole department, all the soldiers have
sought refuge here, and it is my opinion, that if
the Indian forces approach this place. the walls will
not be strong enough to restrain the fear of these
valiant troops.
This day a schooner has arrived5from Balize,
bringing the intelligence that the Indian chief Ce
clio Chi had attacked the town of Bacalar but that
he had encountered very determined resistance
from those who defended the place.
"We are persuaded that our only hope of saliva
tionnow depends on foreign aid; without it we
must succumb.'
