A Strange Tragedy.

AN AMERICAN SLAvER.--A correspondent
Of the N. Y. Tribune writes from 81. Thorn.
as, w. L., Feb. 25:h, giving an account Of
the sale Of an American ship at ,ha. place.

her history:
She was fitted out in Boston for her

from which port she cleared, and sailed
some time in November. She proceeded 10
the coast of Africa, discharged what cargo
sho had, and was about 10 enier on her spe-
cial errand thiIhor when her crew, being for
the first time made aware OF the nature Of
the business, rebelled and were discharged.

aforesaid furniture ard run here TO avoid

that she took cargo OF slaves and was
obliged 10 run into soma African port and
discharge them to avoid apprehension; and
her mate is reported 10 have told that he has

Adjournment.

By reference 10 the House proceedings Of
yesterday, il will be seen that lha, body
passed resolution to adjourn sine die, on
the LIST Monday of May. This resolution
will go TO the Senate, when i, will probably
be retained ill such time as il is found the
public Interests will permit the Adjournment
10 take place. The nearer we approach that
time, the more we are disposed 10 doubt
whether The necessary business can be dis.
posed Of within four weeks of lime. One
grand difficulty is, 10 keep the members
here. At no time for days. has there been
less !han twenty-five men absent from their
seats. A portion Of these are at home, looking
after their private business, and few Of
them are absent on account OF sickness ol
themselves or members Of their families.
Bills Of interest and importance fail, because
there are so few members present, and il has
become sort Of common custom 10 recon.
slider all such votes, and thus keep the bills
still before the House.
The general appropriation bill has not
yet been reported 10 either branch, and in.
deed the grea, mass Of The Important bust.
ness Of the session yet remains undone.--
Laws 10 resiric. The powers, &C., Of the
Board Of Public Works, and OF The other de-
panmenls ofihe government, we are told By
some oil the Democratic members, must be
passed before they will vote for any aporo-
praiion bills These restrictive laws are
no, ye, all even reported, much less passed.
We know thata few Of the LOST weeks are
worth all The res. Of The session for business
purposes, but we also know that this ar
rangement Of appropriations for tioO years
is an ugly subjeci, and cannos be got over
in hurry,
In conclusion. we guess that the Legis-
lalure will not find itself ready TO adjourn on
The first Of May. Blu. VIC shall see.--O. S.

from Brownsville, February 10, says:

BY the arrival oflhe brig John Williams.
Captain Goodspeed, from Vera Cruz, we are
placed in possession OF papers from that
place TO The l4lh uli., and from The city Of
Mexico 10 The 9th.
The Eco del Concrete, Of Vera Cruz, in
lis issue of the l4lh ut., is occupied eniire-
~ with only Two subjecis--ihy revolt Of AL
varez, and the Gadsden treaty. The latter
il simply publishes, preceded by the mes.
sages OF the President, on sending ii TO the
Senate. No comments whatever are made
on il. On The Alvarez affair, il has a lengthy
editorial, no, concluded, a communication
from the Government. accompanied by a
report OF the proceedings by The garrison
and by the corporation, strongly condemn
ing the conduct Of Alvarez, rei,erating their
professions Of adhesion to the existing order
OF things, and promising support. In the
preamble Of resolutions passed by the garri-
son they pronounce Alvarez's offense not
the crime Of common conspiracy, but pos.
live act Of high treason. They also say
that Don Juan Alvarez, by his disloynl,y
and by his having solicited an alliance with
the FillibusIers Of California, whom he has
offered 10 pay for their services with lands
belonging 10 the nation, as well as by his
criminal understandings with The adventurer,
the Coun. de Raousse,, has proved himself
unworthy Of the name Of Mexican, and de-.
serving for his conduct The exercise Of the
ulmos, rigor in his punishment"
The resolutions they passed are Of course
in corresponding terms; and they are seized
by, or on behalf of every member Of the gar.
rson. The Town Council adopted similar
professions and resolutions, praying The Su-
preme Government TO make Alvarez and all
like him, "feeI the weight Of the laws, in all
their power" He has already been de.
prived Of all his honors and decorations.
The Diario Q6icial," says the Trait d.
Union, ''conlinued TO occupy itself very
much about Senof Alvarez. We have
counted twenty-five names Of inferior ani.
mails given 10 the rebellious chief; so tha, he
must be quite a menagerie in himself" The
Universal says tha, Alvarez in vain endeav.
ored to dispute The passage Of tho troops
through the Cucs.a de Lemon; and ,ha, the
activity which the Government has exhibited
and the number of troops which i. has sen
10 the seat Of rebellion, leads TO The hope o.
speedy end TO it. Elsewhere tho same
paper says that a ! communications lately
received, show The rebellion 10 amount 10
positively nothing; bu, that Alvarez was
terrifying himself in his hacienda OF La
Pfovidencia, which was surrounded by d
Gordon Of troops daily growing more and
more narrow, while the very people around
him on whom he had relied Tor support, had
sent in adhesions 10 the Government.
BY the decree closing the port Of Acapul.
co. i, is ordained that when any por Of The
Republic has been officially closed on &C
