ington correspondence, that man named James r.
LIE. has been arrested in New York. at the instance
of the United States government Mr.. Levy's offence,
according the phrase Of the warrant for his arrest
consists in having maciously commenced and car
ried on certain written correspondence and commu-
nica,on with the Republic Of Mexico, and Mariana
Arista the President thereof, to the great damage of
the United States of America An Indictment was
granted against him, by the grand jury at Washing
ton on this charge, and he was taken of to that city,
on Monday morning. by officers Bowyer and Cox:
Mr.. Levy has been an active opponent of what Is
known as the Gary grant, for the Tehuantepec Ship
Canal Company. His superior acquaintance with
the circumstances under which that treaty was made
enabled him to embarrass the progress Of the eompa
nv very seriously, and it is probably through their
influence that the arrest has been made Ifhe charge
is sustained he will be liable to 6ne not exceed
ing S. 900. and an imprisonment Of not less than six
months. nor more than three years. 1t will be seen.

+ HAvRE DE GRACE, Feb. l-s, P. NJ. There is
not the slightest truth in the you mention of
the ice in the Susquehannah having been broken up,
accompanied by heavy freshet and destruction Of
life and property. The ice continues apparently as
firm as ever, the swelling of the stream by the
rain last night passing underneath. The t'naw of
the bed of snow on the ice, caused by the rain is
somewhat sushy to-day, but it is very cold here
night, and the ice will be hard before morn
ing. The train this morning passed over as usual,
the passengers being conveyed in seighs and there
is but little fear entertained of sudden break
ing up by freshet The thickness of the ice s said
to average ten feet.

to the South has been properly rewarded. Clemens
only hope of return to the Senate was extnguish-
ed by the posponement of the election by the Ala
bama Legislature until its next session. Downs
apostacy was still more interested and shameless, and
his disgrace has been the cutting. BY desert.
ing the South and eagueing with Clay, he calculated
to propitiate the favor Of the Wings of louisiana who
being predominant Of the Legislature. held him at
their mercy. And, indeed they dd:induce him to be-
