Americans
By the arrival of the big Potomac at New
York, from Maracaibo, we have additional
intelligence from that distracted county,
II would seem that the whole country is in
astate ofrevolution. The greatest animos-
ity prevails towards American citizens BY
the government officers their houses are
searched, under the p~retence of suspicion
Of there being disaffected persons secreted
therein; their property sacrificed; and
themselves, in many instances, thrown into
prison. Soon after the intelligence of the
landing of General Paez at Coro, the house
of the American consul at Maracaibo was
attacked at night by the soldiers, said to be
headed by some of the principal officers of
the city, and severely pelted with stones
and other missiles. One American mer-
chant was confined in prison, and others
had their houses taken from them by order
ofthe governor, who threatened, if they did
not give them up without any remonstrance,
to imprison them. A correspondent of the
New York Herald, under date of July 18th,
writes as follows:

don't know that we can call to memory a season
altogether SO favorable to the corn crop as the
present. Though changing from summer to au-
tumn, a time peculiar to droughts, we have had
alternately sun and rain until we believethe corn
and tobacco crops will be the heaviest ever
grown in this county, the latter may notbe the
best. The heavy falls Of rain appear not to have
been confined to this section. The Mississippi
is here, nearly level with its banks, and about at
a stand; the rise is from the headwaters of the
stream, and pine lumber from Wisconsinlis COM
ing down freely. The Missouri has also had a
similar rise, which, meeting the rise in the Mis-
sissippi, flooded the Levee at st. Louis, a few
days ago, destroying several lots Of produce and
other freight before it could be removed. Such
a rise is very unusual at this season.
