The following information is obtained from
him
The expedition left the Islay del Contoy, on the
1orth east Of the Yucatan coast, the I6th
= and landed at Cardenas the 10Th inst. They
lost tinle in landing, which gave the author-

and attacked the Jail, supposing it to he the bar

bailed, and answered by firing upon the troops.
After this, some soldiers went TO the Government

well defended. but it finally burned. The

The town Of Cardenas remained in peaceable
possession of the invaders. The troops, how

crop. We do hope the next recipe for killing

has less OF the compromise about it,
The Griffin Wing of the Goth ult says: " From
all sections of the country, the cry Of short crops Is
heard. We can only speak Of our immediate neigh
borhood. The farmers generally are of opinion
now, that half crop of cotton will not be made,
and the corn crop is cut short least third if not
more"

gives the gratifying intelligence that the bill
making appropriation for a new Customhouse in
his city was amended in the Senate by inserting
one Hundred Thousand dollars, instead of fifty
thousand, and the amendment was concurred in by

We are also highly pleased to learn from the

Where verdure meier wilted meath frost bitten scar;

And the nch-foiaged groves their fragrance eXhale
Still dearer to are my native crags,
Where hillside and glen shrouded in fern
Craze of the goas-haunt of the stays
To gaze on the precipice rugged and stern.

And cliffs where the sOlan geese sport in the storm.
