Yucatan.

BY the schooner Hornet, Captain Cannon, ar.
rived at New Orleans on the Both instant, the Boe-
fin Official, Of Merida, TO the 81 instant, has been
received. That Journal contains reports from va.
rious officers, all couched in the most responding
aud gloomy terms in relation 20 the present and
future condition Of that unfortunate country. All
the writers agree that the whites Of Yucatan are
reduced 10 the direst extremites, and that UNI
less assistance comes from abroad they must aban-
don the peninsula 10 their ferocous and implaoa BILE
foes, the Indians. The Bosfin Of August contains
the memorial which Gov. Barbac hano addressed 10
the Mexican Secretary Of Foreign Relations with
respect 10 the charge made against him Of having
sold Indian prisoners into slavery in Cuba His er
PLANTATION is that IL imperative on the Yucatans
20 shoot all their prisoners, they could keep
them, or transport them beyond the country. Thc
Indians gladly preferred the latter alternative and
Barbachano arranged for their passage TO Cuba.
and contracted their behalf, that they should be-
enumerated for any labor done by them in Cuba.
This may be- nominal liberty, and probably no
thing more. The Mexican government was ~,
tircly satisfied with Barbachsno's explanation.
