THE nARQuE GRApEsHoT.-As there has been so much
ystery and speculation the destination OF this clip
per vessel with her thirty thousand muskes insert the
following explanation which find in the New York Jour
nal of Commerce:
We do remember hare seen stated any here what
believe TO be the true for the shipment of the arms
by this vessel and her long detention in the Gulf which
have given rise to many suspicious The first movement
understand the case from several Mexicans in
this city, who represented thathey had contract with the
Mexican government for the supply Of certain quantity
of muskets sc each and wished purchase the lot held
by Mr. Law since The sale of them by the United States at
public auction. Letters confrmatory of this statement
exhibited, and the of the nuskets we believe
at last inducednot 10 deliver them the contractors
upon their representations they desired but to purchase
vessel and send them out to be delivered upon satisfactory
payment Mr. Beach, of this city, whose death after sud-
den Illness we have already announced intrused with
the property ana ue vessel saied without having cleared
from our port with various rumors as to her destination
When she reached the Gulf Mr. Beach found out that the
letters and documents exhibited induce the sale of the
nuskets orgere and that his principal had lust
escaped being swndled out OF his property Whether the
design of the applicants get possession of the arms
aid the revolution in Mexico facilitate the invasion
of Cuba does not fully appear; but believe that Mr.
Beach, upon discovering the imposition commenced
negotiations with Santa Anna for the sale of the property
and have TO suppose that he had succeeded
in this purpose when he seized with the illness which
terminated fatally 1t is probable that the
by him VIII still be perfected and the warke
cargo be transferred, at least to Mexican soil
