We are in possessi N OF our letters and papers
brought by the Black Wa rior, which arrived on
Saturday.
Our Havana CORES p ndent says unler date 18th
July =" There is uothing new whatever from Next
CO. The British mail steamer Avon arrived here on the
sth. She brought no newspapers. Mexican pas
senger told me that Santa Anna was endeavoring to
raise about 40 600 men, part of whom were to be
militia but he has no bad intentions-not for the
present, at least.
"The English brg-of.war Daring has seen the Lady
Slifulk. She is safe in the hands OF tie Mexican
authe rites at La In the meantime, the British
miister will doubtless press her con6scatioa with
the government at headquarters. There is no doubt
the descrp ion of the SLAYER i'll the HERALD of the
9th Of December last was the means Of detecting
her, although she under another name.
"An the newspap English and American-are
now prohibited circulation here. What will the
Times say
"The 81 a. ish squadron are still at sea, but had
not bee at Vera Cruz when the British steamer left
about the 9TH inst.

We have re eivei files OF the Havana journals
mp TO the 18th July.
An accident attended with melancholy results,
had C urred il Havana at the circus race course
on unday, tie 10th, by which several persons
were very seriously and some mortaliy injured
An extr ordinarily larse coacourse of people had
assembled to witness the exhibition which WAS got
mp by the agricultural commission, benches having
been raised for the accommodation of the spectators
by private speculator, by leave of the commission.
As his Exceency the Captain General entered, about
half-past five O'Clock p. NJ, the crowds pressed to
zee ard salute him. and the gallery, being too weak
ly constructed, gave way, and precipitated great
numbers of people on those below. We do not see
that any were killed except Don Gabriel Alguacil
native of Gallicia. The Havana newspapers, as
usual, give no satisfactory account Of the numbers
killed or wounded.
The Havana papers contain Mexican news up to
the LIST of july and republish several articles from
the journals of the metropolis Among them are
the following -
Senior Salazar Iaregui, chief Of the Boundary Com
mission, has given information to the supreme go
vernment on the matter OF the Mesila Valley, in
which he shows the right of Mexico to the territory
in question.
The following is the form of the oath required fr
those who hold public Offices -" swear to God to
sustain the independence of the nation and the nteg
rity Of its territory and to fulfil faithfully the duties
OF my Office, under the bases adopted by the interior
administration of the republic by the decree of the
22d April, 1853"
decree has been published m der the terms OF
which the Aexcans who swore not to fight in the
war with the United States, or who in presence Of
the enemy sought their parole, may acquire an
6hnesty.
General Parodi has been gazetted to the rank OF
General of Brigade, in acknowledgment OF his ser
vices at the battle of Angostura.
There is still another rumor-not credited by the
Mexican press-of preparations being made for new
invasion of Sonora by the redoubtabe Count
Raousset Boulbon. The expedition was said to be
Under the patronage of some members OF the Legsls
ture of Upper California.
Tho Jna;ora continue their depredations in Chi
huahua. On the ed June party Of forty attacked
two gentlemen, one Of whom they grievously wound
ed and carried of his daughter. On the next day
the Indians were encountered by party who went
out In pursuit of them and who took from them their
horses and arms and four prisoners, among whom
was a daughter Of the leader of the party.
The Mexican correspondent of the Diario de Ia
Marina, writing under date of July lst says
In all branches of the administration the govern
nent works without difficulty, and, thanks 70 Their
efforts there are already considerable advan
tages in the interior organization OF the republic
adequate to our wants and customs, the principal
being the consolidation OF the peace we now enjoy
To this end will also contribute the new territorial
division in which the government is occupied, and

SIR-We wish to give you true and brief &C.
count concerning by what means we became placed
In our present situation, hoping that when you have
the fill particulars you do something for u.s.! We
left New York on the 18th of December last, in tue
bark Jasper, bound, as we were toio ia the shipping
Office TO Sierra Leone. Before leaving New York,
rs we were getting under way, took on board two
gentlemen as passengers for the above named place.
There were also on board at the time two men who
we understood, or we're made to believe at the
time to be the supercargo aud his uncle. We were
at sea two days or more before we knew them to be
Spanish: still we were altogether Ignorant of any de-
eeit being practiced upon US. Everything went well
until we arrived at the coast Of Africa, at place
called Elmina. Some of the crew asked the mate the

New York; and he said that az far q he could IN
derstand the supercargo had changed his mind, and
intended to 90 farther down the coast we thought
nothing OF it. The supercargo went shore at that
place, and the next day we discharged some Of her
cargo, which was rum. In two or three DAYS we got
under way, and went farther down, to Cape Coast,
ut which place the captain and mate quarrelled
which ended In the mate S being discharged at that
place. The second mate then did the mates duty
and Of the men forward picked out for second
mate. We took some elephants tusks on board at
Cape Coast, and one hundred bales Of tobacco. We
got under way at that place and the Captain seemed
