BY the arrival of the ship Maria, CAPTAIN Smith,
are placed in possession of the formal do Co
mercio of the It'll September Both houses of the
National Provincial Assembly in session, but
the subjects under discussion of purely local
interest, involving the questions of borough and
city charters, economical reform in State offices,
relief for the hospital dos Lazaros, &c, &C. The
formal had received files of the Concrete del Plata
to the Odd August, from which it learns that tran
guilty had been restored in the departments of
Salto and Paysandu; and things settling
down to their condition before the breaking out OF
hostilites. private letter to the Concrete, dated
August 22d, assures us Of the defeat of General
0ribe by Garzon the Rio Negro, with loss of
the great majority Of his cavalry and baggage.
The whole country to the north of the Negro was in
possession of the allies, Urquza was reported TO
have left the command of the army to Garzon, and
retired to Entire Rios with his staff The letter re-
CARDS the intelligence reliable; and thinks Ur-
quiza, not being able to commence active opera
tons the south of the Negro till after the middle
of September, inclined to employ the interval
in discussing the state of affairs with the President
of Paraguay.
Should this intelligence prove correct, the gov
eminent of Rosas is in considerable peril. Oribe
was understood to have II 900 men in the field;
and it is probable that Urquza will have the assist
hereafter of large Brazilian force. Not
wilhstandng the best efforts of the President, the
fortune of war looks extremely unpropitious.

GREAT UODDefys N1ufuerSs ana arrests.
Information reached this city Saturday that
the great specie train of the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company, which left the city, under guard,
about nine o'clock in the morning, had been at
tackled and robbed by gang OF robbers Three
of the guard had been shot during the attack by
the robbers and we're lying by the roadside. Two
of them shot in the breast and the third in the
legs. The two shot in the breast were dying, and
the other badly wounded.
The robbers succeeded in securing one box of
gold dust, with which they made off into the woods,
but the box being heavy, and they being closely
and holly pursued by the reinforced parties com
ing up to the train, they were obliged to abandon
it and make their escape. In attempting 20 do this
two of them were captured.
One OF the men 10 a native of Dublin, Ireland,
and his real name s Bartholomew Thomas. The
name of Thomas Summers he assumed for his own
purposes. He is about twenty lone years of age.
He begged for his life, and then gave full disclo-
of the whole plot, giving the names of all the
persons engaged i'll it, and all the particulars rela-
tive TO the attack, &c.
The other man is intelligent negro, from New
York city, named Charles Cromwell Names of
the robber- gang:

main in the city few days, and then repair to an
appointed spot on the Costumes river, in FL Dora
do county, and also 10 Lawsons ranch, on the Sa-
cramento, for the purpose Of treating with deputa
tons OF the hostile tribes in that region who have
created 30 much trouble, and who were the cause
OF the State troops being called into requsltlon.
They have all agreed to meet the commissioner
and enter into compact to become good and
peaceable citizens locating themselves upon the re-
| servation which the Commissioner may allot them.
With the exception of these tribes all the Indians
south Of Pitt river have agreed 10 the terms pro-
posed by Dr. Wozencraft, we are informed by
that gentleman, and he has every confidence that
they will adhere to the stipulations, and, II not mo
Tested, give farther trouble to the whites. Dr.
w. thinks that before the expiration of the year
there will be as many $4,000 Indians upon the
reservations already made, large number having
already commenced their occupation.
With a party of dragons the commissioner
penetrated the country north of the Pitt river,
companied by number of friendly Indians, but
the savages oil that district fled at their approach
like antelopes. He then returned and camped on
a small creek emptying into Pitt river, and subse
quently with Lieutenant Wright, who accompa-
MED the expedition volunteer, and small
party of men, made rapid march up the creek,
and came upon large party oil Indians. few
shots were fired, and the Indians fled. Lieutenant
w. was hit with arrow, but very slightly in
iured. Four Indians were taken prisoners and
conyered to camp, but they subsequently escaped.
The first reservation made by DR.. Wozencraft
comprises about twenty hive square miles. The
boundary line runs east from the Sacramento river,
north of Readings, for twenty five miles, thence
north to Pitt river, and is bounded the north by
that stream. The second reservation is on Feather
river, and consists of strip Of land about
six miles broad by twenty in length, upon which
there are now the representatives OF twenty two
different tribes
The third reservation lie on the Sacramento river,
to the north Of Suffers claim, extending back
about three miles, and up the river fifteen miles.
This will probably be occupied by from $500 TO
5000 Indians from the coast range and all in the
Sacramento valley, from Stone creek to Feather
river, and from the mouth of the same to the
| mouth OF the Yuba.
The fourth reservation comprises tract of land
twelve miles square, between the Bear and Yuba
| rivers, set aside some time since, upon which it is
anticipated there will be between 6000 and 1000
Indians.
DR.. w. is quite confident that the accusation of
reserving lands, rich in mineral and agricultural
wealth, cannot be made with reference TO these re-
servations, although they susceptible of pro
ducing sufficient 10 meet the wants of the Indians
by such cultivation as they choose to beatow upon
them.

TTiH be opened Tuesday, The l4h inst, at p. m.
TIME OBJECT OF THIS CLASS is to aid in
H. every possible way those persons in Washing
ton who desire to acquire accurate knowledge
of French, and to learn not only to read, but to
speak the language fuently. Most persons in the
United States acquire their knowledge through the
eye alone, and hence the number of individuals
here who read tolerab!y well, but do not compre-
bend a word of French when spoken or even when
read, by another. To such persons such Class
promises very great advantages.
The members will meet at the rooms of Profess
cor D. f. GRoux, native of France, who will di-
rect and superintend the exercises, opposite
Browns Hotel, where tickets may be had.

The Poiynesian publishes the new treaty recent
ly negotiated between the government of the
Sandwich Islands and that of Great Britain. 1t
conforms in it's essential features to the treaty with
the United States negotiated in IS49, and ratified
the Oath of August, 1850, and is hi hly satisac-
tory, says the Poynesian, both in regard to its
ciprocal Obligations and in the acknowledgment
OF the entire independence and sovereignty of his
Hawaiian majesty. Its ratification will, doubtless,
be accomplished within the time specified, when il
will become the law of the land, and supersede the
former treaty of Goth March, 1916.
