to their native land. From accidents and disase
the numbers are 80 thinned, that probably not
more than a hundrsd or so will reach Africa. 1t
is said-we know not with what truth-hat
chloroform has been administered to many of
them, who in the state of insensbility produced,
underwent q mock burial and were "spir!ted
away" to Southern plantations.
The Knights of the Golden Circle, after a
few weeks of quiet, have again appeared on the
stage of action. General Buckley, in q Late
address to the order in Virginia and other South
ern States, has ordered the members to repair
to their encampment, in Texas, by the 18th of
September The address says that Texas has
raised money and material to the amount of
S498, 900, and appeals to other Southern States
for contributions. The Knights will march
from their encampment as emigrants into Mex
leo, and become bona jfde citizens Of the ILL.,
starred republic, before they begin operations.
This they do in order to evade the violation Of
existing neutrality laws. The order is repre-
sented to number so 900 members. Their avow.
ed object is to "Americanize and Southernize
Mexico"
Nerico.-Meanwhile, it is stated that France
and England have agreed to intervene in the af-
fairs of Mexico, and force the belligerent parties
to an armistice for twelve months They have re-
ouested the United States to join them in this
measure; but brother Jonathan seems disnclined
to do 80. Mr.. Buchanan thinks that these 'en-
tancling complications with other governments
are to say the least, of doubtful policy; and would
certainly be an abandonment of the line Of con-
duct he has pursued towards the Mexican repub'
lie.
C.ntral America.-The Bay Islands are incli-
ned to resist their annexation to Honduras
Gen. VIM Walker, sthe man of destiny" taking
advantage of this feeling among the Bay-lsland
ers, has gone to Central America to stir up a
civil revolution. The governor Of Honduras is
said to be hateful to large party of his coun-
trymen: and these together with the Bay Island
ers who also resist his domination, would form q
formidable array against him. The ''gray eyed
man" sleeps, like the rabbit, with his eyes open
ABRoAD.-The only general news Of interest
from Europe is the promise of Peace Congress-
or Conference on the Swiss Question 1t will
meet about the first of October at Paris. The
Conference will he composed of the Ambassadors
at the French Court, endowed for the nonce with
plenipotentary powers. This is matter IN
which all Europe feels deeply concerned. The
balance of power is watched with Jealous eye
by all the nations; and Switzerland naturally
feels some solicitude about the aggrandzemen
of France, especially when it is at her own e1
pense.
Enqland.-Lord John Russell's Reform Bill
has been withdrawn by the English Cabinet fo'
the present. It is said that any Reform, con-
templating an extension of the elective franchise
would strengthen the Popish power in Parla
ment by creating new Irish delegations. Thi
is one principal reason why Lord Johns Bill ha
met such signal and persistent opposition.
Ireland.-The news declares that nine hun
dred Irish families are positively suffering fol
the want of bread Hence the immense exodus
from that country to the United States.
Sicay.-It is estimated that twenty Thousand
Royalists are prepared to defend Messina.-
Nevertheless Gariba!di is actively prosecuting
his movements against the place. We may rea
sonaby predict its downfall. Palermo, defended
by q, 600 men. fell before his handful of un
disciplined yeomanry; and 1S, 900 were COMPEL
ed to ground their arms to the conqueror, ant
embark in ships that bore them away. Messlna
doubtless, will share the same fate.
