The Spanish government has determined
to send small fleet to Vera Cruz, consist

bIigs. The steamers are now cOaling, and
everything is now being made ready, with
all the precautions necessary to secresy.
The vessels will leave this port singly, in
order not to attract attention. This squa-
dron is intended to overawe the Mexican
government and make them pay the indem-
mites due Spanish subjects for losses sus-
tanned during tie war Of independence.
The present rulers Of Mexico have refused
the settlement because it was concluded

We infer from the reading of the Congress
sional reports in another column, that Sena-
tor Sumner has given3 the Kansas conspira-
tors decided home thrust. Messrs. Dou-
glas & Co., made an effort 70 stave off the
effect of his speech, by making bitter per-
sonal assault upon him. But in this they
failed-they reused instead of bearded the
lion. Mr. Summers entire speech will soon
be published in pamphlet form, and read by
a million of frcemen.

PROTECTION AGAINST lNsECTs.-1he I'LL
perial Horticultural Society of Paris, has
inst received a communication from M. Tess
ler, one of its members, stating that the am
moniacal waters of gas have the property OF
DESTROYING the insects which commit such

water is mixed with three-fourths its guam
tity of common water, and is then sprinkled
over the leaves and branches of the trees
A small trench is dug around each tree to
receive the water which falls, and this kills
the destructive insects which harbor about
the roots.
