family properly. The wife is an equal
partner Of life, and has Q right to know
how the firm is getting along.

Wanton Outrage on the American
Flag.

1t will be remembered that a few weeks since
we published an account of the appearance Of
the Mexican war steamer Democrat at the port
of Coatzacoalcos after having been run off from
Vera Cruz by her crew, and that whilst there
she forcibly carried off the collector, and more
over fired into a Mexican vessel, name unknown.
Of the subsequent proceedings of this piratical
craft, our readers have been already informed
by advices from Mexico and Heyana.
The affair, however, at C~oatxacoalcos turns
out TO be quite different from what was prev
iously reported, and involves q most Wanton
and deliberate outrage on the American flag,
for which the parties concerned will most as
surediy have 10 answer.
Capt Thompson, Of the schooner Major
Barbour, which arrived last evening from the
CoatzacoaIcos river, informs US that he reached
there from Sisal on the 18th ult, and that al
bout half an hour after he anchored, the steam
er Democrat came in under Mexican c%olors, and
commenced firing at his vessel. Proceeding
shortly up the river, the steamer fired at the
persons on shore. and when within twenty
yards Of the Major Barbour, the commander of
the Democrat, who stood on the upper deck,
drew forth a pistol and fired deliberately at
Capt. Thompson. At the same time the former
gave the order to fire, which was done, and
the shot took effect in the square>sail yard and
h~alyards of the schooner, carrying away a por1
ton of the rigging and lodging four grape-shot
in the foremost. The American flag was like
wise perforated by three pistol shots.
Capt. Thompson states that this attack was
entirely wanton and unprovoked-and looked
un0n nv jhNGQ on EhnFn nE nm 0nf nF Oirapv -
The Democrat took off as prisoners the Mexi~
can commandment and customhouse officer. The
people on shore were dreadfuIly frightened
and could not comprehend the cause of this
outrageous proceeding.
Subsequently Capt. Thompson called upon
several Mexican and American citizens, and in
their presence, and before the American Con-
sui at Minatitlian, drew up q protest, embodyN
ing in detail The facts above recited, which has
been forwarded to Washington.
Capt. Thompson left at Coatzacoalcos bark
Cuba ready to sail for New York; brig Kent,
for Boston and brig Gem, for New York.

Saturday, November. 2s, 1855.

UIt will be seen that we are much pressed
for room at present by our advertising patron'
age. 1t is a blessing, however, which few
printers will object to. We shall not allow
our subscribers to be the losers on that ac-
count, and they will perceive it. We thank
the public for the patronage we receive; we
shall endeavor to be worthy Of it. The SEN
tinel has now lived to a greater age than any
newspaper that ever preceded it in this parish,
and it is for the public to say whether it shall
still live on or perish, The hand that started
it still struggles to merit for it the appreciation
of all good men.

a Rather warm Reception.

We understand that an acquaintance Of a
gentleman Of this town, took it into his head
to pay bis friend a visit, but being of a roman-
tic turn of mind he choose the dead hour of
night to put his intention into practice, and for
fear of disturbing his friends slumbers, or pro.
badly to give him a pleasant surprise, the night
adVenturer softly raised the window, placed
one leg through, and for aught we know was
about to leap TO the floor, run to the bedside
and say "bocp but at that moment something
little louder than '"boo % beloved out from
the bed covering and caused the visitor to fall
outside like a log. Nobody was there howev-
er when the spot was visited, and nothing to
show that anybody had been there. save a few
spots of blood upon the ground and on the
window sill. Moral: it is dangerous to visit
gentlemen at night and in their bedrooms, by
entering through the window.

Nicaragua dates to the lst-a day or two later.
Gen. Walker was awaiting the arrival of re-
cruits before marching again upon Massaya

Gen. Hensingen, who superseded Goiguira,
was drilling his army in the use of the moun~
tain howitzer and the Minnie rifle. The whole
army counts about 1000 men, all in good spirits
and eager for an engagement with The enemy.
A decisive battle, it was thought, would be
fought about the 10Th Of November.
The Texas brings four hundred passengers

Among the passengers is Don Fermier Fener,
the new Niearaguan Minister to Washington;
Hon. ]. Ii. Wheeler, the American Minister to
Nicaragua, and Col. Fabens, bearer of dispat-
ches from Gen. Walker.

A. B~ROUSSEAU d. CO..

When the business season has fairly SET in,
and the citizens of our parish are daily visiting
the city for pleasure and businss, it is natural
that they should like to be informed of those
houses where the best and cheapest articles
can be procured. We would then say to those
who are in want Of that indispensable requi.
site in making a room comfortable and elegant,
a Carpet, not to fail calling at A. BRoUssEAU

is one Of the oldest establishments of the kind
in the city, where CaFpetings, Oil Cloths, Rugs,
Mattings' &C. Of every conceivable color, pat
tern and price, can be obtained-and when
once obtained, we feel assured that the pur.
chaser will be satisfied with his bargain. See
advertisement on fourth page.

A Fine sugar Estate for sale.

By observing our columns, the advertisement
will be seen of the sale of property belonging
to the heirs of the late HoNoRE DAIGRE and
his wife ADELAIDE HEBERT. This plantation
lies about six miles below P%laquemine, imme-
diately on the river, and offers rare advantages
TO those wishing TO purchase. The land is in~
ferior to none in the parish, or in this section
of country, for the culture of sugar. 1t has
always produced good crops, and sugar is now
being made the present unpropitious year. All
the land is deeply ploughed and well MANFRED,
and there are now on the place ninety-five ar
penis of good r~atoon, and forty arpents Of
cane mattlaid.
Those persons, then, who are looking out
to purchase a fine sugar estate connected with
an admirable location, should not fail to be
present at the sale Of the above succession on
the 22d Of next month, (December) the details
of which will be found in the advertisement
alluded to.
