messenger had reached Leavenworth from Fort
Laramie with news that Capt. Marcy's party, which
was on the way from New Mexico to Camp Scott
with animals and supplies for the army, had been
"cut off, by the Mormons. II is now ascertained
that the report of Gov. Cummings expulsion from
Sait Lake City was fabrication, and we have no
doubt the statement regarding Capt. Marcy will
prove to be equally groundless.
Our latest accounts from New Orleans are to
noon of Saturday. At that time intense excite
ment prevailed throughot the city. The Ameri-

which left this port for Southampton on the 18th

at the time, and when the brig proceeded on her
voyage the steamer gave chase. The result is now
known. There ae now forty-one similar cases
of British visitation and search of American
merchantmen upon record. The news Of the

Official Gazette Affects to disbelieve the report, but
