INDIANA T. S. SENAToR-The Lafay-
ette Journal thinks the election of a L. S.
Senator by the Legislature of Indiana a
matter of great uncertainty. 1t will prob
ably be delayed for some time to come,
and it may be postponed indefinitely. 1t
adds ''The contest is narrowed down to
two aspirants, Orth, of this city, and Mar
shall, of Madison; with the present cham
ces, as far as we could ascertain them, de-
cidedly in favor of the former. The friends
of Mr.. Marshall are very active, and will

St Louis, upon entering his office, which

THREATENED BoMBARDMENT OF AsUNCIoN,
the Capital of Paraguay, by the U. S. Steam
er Water Witch The Buenos Ayres British
Packet Of Oct 2lst has the following
In pursuance OF what we consider short
sighted policy, the Government, of Paraguay
ordered all North American citizens to quit
the territory of the Republic, with special
proviso in the case of eX-Consul Hopkins,
that he should resign all claims and preten-
sons to certain lands, which he had purchased
from the Government, in other days and cir
cumstances and of which he must be held the
legitimate owner with this condition Mr..
Hopkins refused to comply and, to avoid a
forcible separation from his llow-countrymcn,
applied to the commander of the " Water
Witch who interposed his services in the
off-hand way customary with the class to
which he belongs.
This was an intimation TO the effect, that, if
Mr.. Hopkins aud the other North Americans
were not allowed to embark without molcsta-
ton, the Water Witch " would commence a
bombardmcnt of the city of Asunction at q
specified hour of the following day.
Accordingly, on the ensuing morning, the
Water Witch took up position, with her
guns, double-shotted, bearing in the direction
of the Presidential palace. with all the
pomp and circumstances Of glorious war,
each man occupied his place, and the lighted
match only awaited a monosyllabc from the
commanding officer to re-enact, in the placid
waters of Paraguay, the revolving tragedy Of
Grcytown.
In this emergency, the Paragraphs wisely
deemed prudence the better part of vaor :;
and not a man, woman, or child was TO be
seen in the streets of Asuncton. Mr.. Hop
kins and all others were allowed to embark
without molestation in the boats of the Water
Witch and in due course were transported to
Corrientcs. We understand superior officer
of the Water Witch has arrived in this city;
but whittier bound, or with what mission
charged, deponent saith not. ~
The Bucnos Ayres Packet, OF the Zoth OF
December, has the following
| PARAGUAY. published documents, subse-
quently received. fully bear out the account we
gave last week of the exodus OF Consul Hop
! kins: and as a first fruits of the unhappy
souabbJe. a decree has been issued, closing the
river Paraguay against foreign vessels of war

and isolation stop here!
