F.,rrer or rur INDIAN TREATY-Wt

FAILURE OF THE INDIAN TREATY.-We
learn from a gentleman direct from St.
Paul, Minnesota, says the st. Louis
Times, 18th inst. that on the day he left,
letter was received from Gov. Ramsey,
announcing the entire failure of the con.
templated Indian treaty. Wabesha. q
Sioux chief, who wields an extensive in
fluence, had declared his intention of
having nothing to do with the overtureS
of other Indians. or of the government.
Gov. Ramsey was expected to arrive at
st. Paul, with the commissioners on
Wednesday last. His next endeavor
would be to persuade the Chippewas.
who had moved back to their old lands
in Minnesota, to vacate tn; m. and return
to their proper hunting grounds.
These treaties, and forfeitures of treaty
are costing the government deal of mo-
ney, in the way of presents. commissions
&c. Less than year ago, Mr.. Rice re-
ceived some hundred thousand dollars for
rem owing. or promising to remove these
very Chippewas, and now we suppose
the same lucrative farce must be enacted
over again.

THE OUTBREAK IN CUBA.

1t appears, by telegraphic dispatches,
which we publish this morning. that the
rumored Instruction in Cuba is not a
hoax. On the contrary, the defeat of the
Government troops by the insurgents is
confirmed.
At Puerto Principe, on the Fourth OF
July, the Anniversary of American indie
pendence, the bone and sinew of the
land pronounced against the Governor
and put at defiance the troops. They
were attacked on the 9Th of July, and the
troops were repulsed. with loss of kill
led and wounded %, which shows he
desperate character Of the struggle, and
confirms the number as having been al
least five or six hundred.
They have retired 10 the mountains
and put themselves in position for de-
ance, it is said, with munition and ma
terials to maintain themselves taking
with them the lever of civiliza ton, a
printing press.
Other towns have followed the lead
and in few days the whole eastern por-
ton Of the Island Of Cuba will be in a
state Of revolution, and in sixty days,
perhaps, Creole destiny will be deter
mined. Tie Government have been
sending troops TO Matanzas, but it seems
they did not call there, as some thing more
urgent pressed them eastward.
The affair is alluded to in the govern
ment papers, but it is supposed the whole
story is not told, and that it is thrown
OFF to allay public apprehension.
A letter from Havana, dated the l7tl
of July. says, 1.-TWO emissaries from the
United States are SPOKEN of as being a
the head Of this outbreak, from leading
strings and bayonets, which is one of The
usual purposed mistakes Of the authori
ties.
Two Creole youths, educated in the
United States, were at the gathering

Americans mixed up in the matter. The

THE KAFFIR WAR.

By the late arrivals, we gather the fol-
lowing in relation 10 the progress of This
war:
CAFE OF COOP HoPE.-Futher intelli-
gence from the Cape of Good Hope is by
no means of cheering character. Dates
are to May 81. The whole Colony is
said to be in critical state. During the
month of May. Sir Henry Smith was shut
up in King Williams Town, where he
continues, surrounded on all sides by hor-
des of barbarians: who, since winter Set
in, and the snow has driven them fir ON
the hills, have come down 10 the low
crowns in bands of fifty and sixty, and
the whole country down to the coast, is
infested with them. Col. M'kinnOn and
Maj. Wilmot have made several patrols
during the month, and in ore of these
Col. Nj Kinnon penetrated as far as the
Ajulola Mountains and surprised body
of Ka fir S, who. exasperated at the loss
of about four hundred head of cattle.
which the Colonel captured, engaged
with him in close quarters. About two
hundred and fifty Kaffirs were killed.
The accounts are frightfully alarming
from the Oregon River sovereignty. All
the tribes are rising. and if the Mozesh
should join them, Mai Warden's position
must be very crtical.--We have the old
story revived OF the approach of :hree
thousand of the Looloos from Natal, un-
der Mr. Seamsome, but we place no 18th

A CONFLICT WITH MEXICO.

The annuling of the Garay contract
for building railroad across the isthmus
of Tehuantepec. after our Government
had been made, indirectly, party by the
transfer of the right to citizens of New
Orleans, may possibly involve the two
countries i'm another difficulty before a
compromise is effected. The company
although their surveying party has been
repulsed from the country, by Mexican
soldiers on the order of Mexican author
tiles, seem resolved to go ahead. AT
New Orleans and also at Washington
they have opened Offices, and have resolv-
ed that if the Mexican Government should
not, next winter, when the Mexican Con-
gress meets. withdraw their opposition TO
the enterprise, confirming Garay's grant.
and ratifying our treaty, they will, it is
rumored, find means, by arming their en-
ployees. TO protect and prosecute their
enterprise. The company acted little
too hastily at first, although they had a
kind of half sanction of President Her
rera to go on with their survey. 1t is
evident that the annuliing the contract

LATE FROM RIo.--Mgh Handed Out
rage by an English Commander. BY the
arrival of the bark Creole, Captain LIE
Brou, at this port yesterday. from Rio
the lth ult., we have confirmation of
the alleged outrage (reported by telegra ph
from Philacel phia in yesterdays Sun) up
on an American party.
The steam towboot Sarah was seized
by the commander of the British steamer
Cormorant, on suspicion of having sup
piled schooner said to be engaged in
the slave trade, and having towed the
the Sarah two miles outside the harbor,
blew her up. The towboat was owned
by Messrs. Hobbs & Alvaringe, Ameri

dee ply mortified at the high handed out
rage of the British commander.
Messrs. Hobbs & Alvaringe represen-
ted the matter to the American Minister,
and assured his excellency that their tow
boat was engaged in no avocation but
what was strictly legal and in accordance
with the maritime laws of the country.
The American sloop of war Dale, Com
mander Pearson, laid in the harbor, Of
fording the U. S. Minister ample power
to arrest the Cormorant's crew, and blow
that vessel up; but in accordance with
his established GOODNESS and great judg-
ment. he submitted the matter to the

separation and apology will be demanded.
The RUSSIANS DEFEATED.--A letter
from Constantinopie on the 18th June
{ (says the Cincinnati Enquirer) gives
more or less the details Of the successes
of the mountaiEeers over the Russians,
who have suffered immense loss. The
leader Of the Dsghlees, who at the head
of %, 900 picked men of the warlike tribe
OF the Western Caucasus, had attacked
the Russian entrenchment of the Chenis,
and driven the Russian troops beyond
Themer. The engagements which took
place were bloody and disastrous. and the
Russians suffered so severely, that all the
spare wagons Of the army were barrel
sufficient TO carry their wounded away.
Their loss, according to an impartial
statement, is calcula ted at 5, GOO in killed
and prisoners. The mortality in com
parison is by far greater among the off
GERS than among the privateS. The po
sition Of the Russian army is very inse.
cure at present. The mountaneers boast
at present of being we'll supplied with
ammunition and arms, and ready TO con
tinue the war against the invaders o.
their homes throughout the whole sum
mer season.

MAGNIFICENT IDEA.-The San Francis
CO Courier. in speaking of the necessity
and feasibility of steamship communi-
cation between that point and China, re-
marks that such a line would complete
the chain of steam communications around
the world, except a small break in cross
ing the Isthmus of Suez, connecting Asia
with Africa. The paper then says: This
link completed, the traveller, leaving
New York, can proceed to Chagres by
steam, from thence to San Francisco, to
Macao via the Sandwich Islands, Guam
and Manila-thence to Suez via Singa
pore, Penang, Ceylon and Adin-thence
TO Cairo and Alexandria, to Southampton
via Malta and Gibraltar, and from thence
by steam again to New York. The only
break in steam navigation will be in
crossing the Isthmus Of Suez. Thus he
would be able to circumnavigate the
world visiting many points of interest,
making the trip in lao days! The COM
mercial advantages which must flow to
the United States from this and kindred
sources ure too great for enumeration
here, and too we'll known to require
it.
