"We learn from Capt. Holloway, of the propeller
Col. Stanton, which arrived yesterday from Tam
pco, that an express reached that city on the 9Th
inst, bringing the important news that quorum o
Congress had assembled at Queretaro, and were
busily engaged upon the treaty of peace-which il
was generally thought would soon be ratified. We
also learn that the uomaito had broken out at Tam
pico, and was causing many Deaths"
Although the date of the above news from Que

o. The morning after the illumination at Clever
land, Ohio, for European liberty the editor of the
Plaindealer, among other incidents, tells this:
'Going along on Ball Alley, about 10 o'clock last
night, we discovered a little shanlee standing back
from the walk, with but one window in front, and
that brilliantly lighted. We had the curiosity to
peep in, and found an old French cobbler pegging
away at dilapidated boot. He was clarifying all
alone, and could not speak word of English, save
the Revolution -
