assault was made, galanty repulsed the rebels, ant
finally constrained them to retreat with a loss q

Mr.. Minister McLane,s DISPATCHES.
The Washington correspondent of the New York
Times writes, under date of the 3D.:

Voluminous dispatches received at the State De-
partment to-day from Mr. McLane give detailed
account Of his affair with Mramon. 1t appears that
Minister followed the precedent set by the British
Government, which made certain demands of the Jua.
party, even while recognizing the other Govern
ment. Miramon declined receiving Mr. McLane's
communication which excited the indignation of the
latter, who complains bitterly to the Government
here II is not known what views the Administration
will take of the matter.
Mrnmon had issued a decree forbidding any com
mnnication between Mexico and Vera Cruz, and the
same day sold to party the exclusive privilege of
transporting goods from Vera Cruz to the city iu
consideration of the party paying to the Government
an ad raiorem tax of twentysix pr cent. on all
eges to others for additional tariff paid him. Thus
it is that the merchants of Mexico now receiving
their goods. These charges are in addition to the
tariff levied and collected at Vera Cruz.
ltappears that the English subjects in Mexico feel
outraged at the conduct Of the British Minister and
have sent comrr nncation on the subject to London
1t is intimuted Il Mr.. Otway will be superseded.
Late intelligence eorroboraes the report of the as
sassination of one EDgishman, and the narrow cs
cape of another.
Mr.. McLane had not received the last instructions
sent to him. They will reach him on the 4th inst.
These instructions are very full and must result in
the early conclusion OF a treaty. The only question
delaying the negotiation the protection Of the
I>thnus by American arms. On this point Mr. Nc.
Lane is directed to provide that when Mexico shall
fail to afford ample protection to the lives and pro.
perty of American citizens passing the transit or fail
to protect the transit from any interruption whatever
American forces shall be called to do SO. For this
purpose Mexico shall keep at each terminus of the
route Commissioner, whose duty it shall be to give
notice TO our shps-o-war of any difficulty or threat
ened interruption, and ask for aid.

A Great Storm in Michigan.

in this section, of which have and record. About

place, awakened by the roaring of the tempest
Mrs. r. arose and went to the door, followed by her
husband, when both were suddenly caught by the
wind and thrown under a bed occupied by Mr. Worth
and his wife. Almost instantly, large log of the
house was flung across the top of the bed only pre-
vented from crushing the inmates by lodging diago
nally against anotherlog. Mr.. Worth with difficulty
extricated himself and his wife, and then proceeded
to look for his two children-a boy of ten years old
and girl twelve They were both thrown out of

der put out of joint. Her head and side were also
badly bruised. The boy was only slightly injured.
Another house, about fifty rods fro this built of
plank, was lifted bodily from its foundation carried
over several stumps from three to five feet high and
thrown down upon three other stumps. Of course,
it was all torn to pieces. The inmates were Mr.. P.
Dewitt and family consisting of his wife, father and
three children. Mr. Dewitt is very badly injured on
his head and side and leg is nearly stripped of
its flesh. It is feared aso that OF his ribs are
broken. His recoveryis doubtful. Mrs. Dewitt was
also badly bruised on her head and limbs, but not
seriously. One of the children, boy nine years of
age, is so badly bruised on his head that he cannot
recover The youngest boy six years of age is badly
cut on the head and his brain is very much Injured
The Others are only slightly hurt.
The storm lasted only few minutes, but was so
severe that hens in the trees were entirely stripped
their feathers and hurled to the ground violently
that when found they were entirely dead.
large hollow log, eight feet long in which were
an OK yoke, shovel and a hoe, was carried off so
effsctually that nothing can be found but the yoke
which lies fifty rods from the starting place, split to
pieces. The tornado seemed to spend itself upon a
tract about forty rods in width and from five to
miles long. Its course was from southwest to north
east The largest trees in its path torn up by
the roots, Or broken and twisted off like pipe-stema
The roaring was terrific, and could be heard for miles
The damage to the timber in this country must be
immense.

The Vicksburg True Southron of Tuesday says:
The drought still continues, and from present ap-
pearances is likely to continue. Our streets are hor
riby dusty, gardens burning ap our cisterns
are getting dry, while the crops in the country are
suffering terribly Corn especially, is in very crit

The Panola Star OF the LIST inst. says: . sl-
1t is some three weeks since we have had rain,
and the planters say the crops suffering for want
of it. The stands of cotton and corn are very good
and the prospects are very encouraging.
The Grenada Locomotive of the Sd says:
The crops in this and the adjoining counties are
very promising at present. with the exception of OATS
which are nearly ruined by the rust. Rain is now
needed, and the clouds are giving promises.

suffering very much for rain and learn that stock
is dying in various parts of the county for want of
water to quench their consuming thirst.

late cold spell of weather has been of special ben.

The wheat is doing finely, and will, doubt, afford
an abundant yield. But the oats in some localities
are literally ruined by the rust and if the crop
should not be total failure again. there will be moth

THE SLAVE TRADE.-The Navy Department has
received voIumnous dispatches from the coast of
Africa, dated Porto Praya, April Is. The com.
nander OF the frgate Cumberland gives graphic
account of the INDUS operandi of stealing and run
ming off slaves, as carried on by yachts, schooners
and regular trading vessels. The traffic during the
last year, he says, has been greatly on the increase
notwthst ,ndng the increasing vigilance of not only
the American squadron, but also OF thu tglish and
Spanish men of war in those waters. He thinks that
if the Department would employ a smaller class of
vessels, capable Of running into the small rivers aud
bays, rs to intercept the slivers, they wood lie
more successful in these voyages, and the trullic
WoIld he greatly abated.
