From Washington.

WASHINGTON, Sept. ll.-Mr. McLane, our Minis
ter to Mexico, arrived here to-day having left Vera
Cruz on the lst inst. Our Government had pre-
viouslv granted him two months leave of absence
Reliable accounts just received from Mexico men
tlon that SenOr Fuente, who held Cabinet office
under President Comonfort's Administration has
been appointed Minister of Foreign Afflrs, the
duties of which were heretofore discharged by Senior
Ocampo, who remains in charge of the Home De-
partment under the Constitutional Government
All our COnsuls, with the exception of Mr.. Black
at the City of Mexico, are everywhere officially re-
cognized. The most friendly feelings are expressed
by the Lberalists for the United States from which
they expect assistance in their struggle against the
Reactionists. Americans in Mexico, how ever, ut
ter their surprise that much indifference is mani
tested in this country toward the Liberal party,
who continue to be enthusiastically animated by
hope of success-the immediate want of money
alone crippling their energies. Notwithstanding
this, troops continue to be raised for operations
against the City of Mexico.
Mr.. McLane returned without treaty, but the
matters in interest between the two countries are
such as to leave no doubt of an early accommoda-
ton. If Senior Lerdo had been in Vera Cruz. it
is probable, according to the accounts from that
city, a convention or treaty would have been con-
cluded.
Eight of the crew of the q. S. soop Brooklyn
had been tried for desertOn, running away with
the ships boat and leaving her among the breakers
1t was reported in Vera Cruz that Miramon had
called Junta at the Capital to appoint Vice
President or substitute, as he himself contemplated
taking the field against Gen. Dego.ado who was at
San Louis Potos organizing his forces which
amounted to about Il, 900 men.

On Saturday morning John Ryan, who was ar
of party who were in the hack of John Fannin,
and who fired pistol at him with intent to kill,
because he would not drive them where they want
ed to go, had hearing before Mayor swami
Fannin could not identify Ryan, nor could he tell
the names of any of the party who were in the
hack, although he stated to the officers that he
knew them all. The Mayor accordingly discharged
Ryan. Marshal Manly stated to the Mayor that he
had good reason to suppose that Fannin was the
driver of the hack from which the pistol was fired
on Thursday night, at the corner OF Hanover and
baltimore streets, and which evaded the pursuit of
the police by rapid driving. There was no posi-
tive evidence to mplicate Fannin. and he was dis
charged.

The Polish Journal, ofPOsen, gives an account of
a manifestation in the Austrian Tvro:
"The Archduke Charles Louis Governor of the
lyroi, assembled few days ago at Innspruck the
volunteers who had returned from the war, an1
thanked them for their ZEAL ma ior who is rather
elderly, advanced and said: we only presented
ourselves at the third summons, because the pro-
misses so oft made to were never kept And if
the promises which have since been given be not OBJ

Emperor again.. The Archduke recommended the
bold speaker to reflect that such language MIGHT
have serious consequences for him. 'The only con-
sequence it can have, answered the Major is that

Parma, Modena and Tuscany. But the Rnmagnoli

last of between $4,000 and SIS 900, $500 in gold,
the remainder in currency and checks. The rogues
gained admission by cutting a panel out of the

LATER FROM THE RIVER PLATE.

by the arrival at New York of tn. bark o. J.
Haves, Capt. Shiverick, we have advces from Bue-

ers, the Gen. PintOs, and the Buenos Avres, which
had succeeded in passing the fort Rosario after
ward captured an Argentine schooner, with a cargo
OF arms and ammunition for Urquza's camp, and
the confederation.
On the 9Th of July, the crew of the Pintos mutt
MED, and declared for Gen. Urquiza. The officers
made the best resistance that they could; but as
the mutneers received assistance from the shore
the ship soon fell into the hands of the enemy the
loss being one killed on each side and several
wounded. The Buenos Ayreans lost Capt. Alexan-
der MuratOri, commander of the steamer Buenos
Ayres, and son of Capt, Jose Muratori the com
mander OF the Pintos and admiral of the squadron
The loss of the vessel was, of course greatly la
mented In Buenos Ayres, but the government sup
piled her place by the purchase of the steamer Pre-
niPr Argentine.
The steamer Buenos Ayres came very near sbar-
ing the fate of the Pintos, but was saved by the
presence of mind and irmnrss of her first lieuten-
ant William E. Morris, who brought her back to
Buenos Ayres in safety.
Of the firing into the American steamer Asuncion
already briefly reported, the Buenos Ayres CONNER
cial Times furnishes the following account:
lhe Hon. Benz. :. 4ancey, Capt. Steadman, of
the United States Navy, and Mr.. and Mrs Hopkins,
were dining at the time in the cabin when the
boom OF gun and the whiZ Of a round shot, sent
the pilot running in to tell them that the battery
was frlng upon them. The stars and stripes were
Immediately run up, the engines stopped, and
anchor dropped in 20 fathoms of water, with a
tour-knot current running, but two more shots
were fired after them, one after the vessel had
swung round to her anchor. Happily the inef
fciency of the gunners prevented any catastrophe
Mr.. Hopkins immediately proceeded on shore in a
boat to demonstrate, and being shortly followed by
the American Minister and Capt. Steadman. the
three waited upon Don Santiago Derqu, but the
only satisfaction they could get was that it was all
mistake, that the Asuneion, in spite Of her ia
miarity with the port and her peculiar build. was
believed to be Buenos Ayres man -of-war At this
miserable but highly probable explanation. the
American Minister greatly demurred, and stated
that on his return he should inquire further into
the subject, and should other mistakes occur, he
should leave their settlement in the first place to his
friend the naval oficer'

OUR REFORM MEErING.-A correspondent of the

on the late meeting in the square:
Rowdyism tried its hand slightly on the occasion.

to bite but its fangs were broken; and smitten by
the energetic hand of the police writhed and Sunk

when it exposed its foul proportions and impotent
malice to the open eye of day. All men saw and
loathed it. And when we remember that this
hideous thing has been in league with rep esenta-
tive men, and has held the city authorities at
defiance, we wonder at our infatuation and
most abject degradation Can such things be and
overcome us? | learn that Mayor Swami has ex-
pressed purpose and desire to cooperate with
this movement and to signalize his administrator
by eteetualy subduing this malignant foe to peace
