letter 10 Scoresby, the navigator in which he sug-
gested that Sir John Franklin might have taken
the route down the Gulf Of Bolhnia, in search Of
southern passage from this gulf to The Arctic
ocean. Now il was DIR. Rae who discovered thai
there was no such southern passage, but that Both

remains of Franklin's party render il probable
that Sir John took the route indicated in 1850 in
Col. Forces letter.

PRESIDENT OF MEXICO SUED FOR A NUISANCE
In looking over the docket Of Justice Jonte, of
this city, we observe, among other defendants
upon whom the city has bounced, through our
vigilant street commissioner, for breaches Of the
ordinances, is General Antonio Lopez de Santa
Anna, President of Mexico, who is charged with
not keeping the back premises of his buildings on
Poydras street, between Magazine and Tchoupi-
toulas, in cleanly state. We think that the

ing his serene highness nuisance generally,
who ought TO be abated for the good Of mankind.
