Providence, r. l., Nav 26.
The Inauguration of the new State govern
ment took place at Newport, this morning

very successful as they were elaborate. The
inauguration committee had made the most
satisfactory and complete arrangements for
the occasion, and invitations to distinguished
citizens,and military organizations were gen.
orally represented. The city put on gala
day appearance.
The streets were crowded with visitors from
every part of the State, while there is also
present large number of sons and daughters
of Newport who live elsewhere, who have re-
turned to take part in the celebration. Along
Thames street the decorations were especial
ly elaborate. At $50 Gov. Bourn was es-
corted by two of the local military companies
from his headquarters at the Aquidneck
House to the State House, where the closing
scenes of the outgoing administration were
enacted.

PANAMA. Msy 26.

PANAMA. Msy &c.
Since the last mail the train of events here
has been much less exciting, and the wisdom
and determination of the provisional govern
ment have justified the belief that they
are equal to the situation and can preserve
the peace OF the Isthmus and the freedom of
transit. Gems. Reyes and Montayer have
viewed the presence of the United States
forces so favorably as to virtually regard
them As allies. and the relations between the
American marines and Colombian soldiers
are SO pleasant that the latter will not ask
such OF the former as may stay aSay from
their camps without permission, even At the
request of their officers.
Rio De JENERo, May &c.
The Southern Mail has brought an explain
alton of the grounds for the arrest of Mr..
Mackey, U. S. consul at Rio Grande De Sue,
on the 10th of April. According to the Rio
Grande papers, Mr.. Mackey had long been a
special mark for the attacks of caricaturing
paper called the Morvy, of which Theodore
Alves De Amorim was editor.
Finally, on the 18th, these attacks culmin.
ated in an attack upon Mr. Mackey's mother,
and in scandalous assertions as to his own in
timacy with two respectable ladies.
Mackey was seated in the theatre on the
evening of the 10Th, when Amorim passed,
scraped his feet on the floor to draw aiten-
ton, looked at the consul in an insulting
manner, and spit loudly. Mackey jumped
up, and after some exchange of words, Am
orim raised his sword-stick and struck at
Mackey, but the stick caught ia chandelier
aud broke. Maekey then drew a small re-
volver and fred fouI shots, three of which
strnck, but as Amorim ducked, produced
only superficial wounds.
Amorim then drew pistol and fred, but
the pistol was seized by a bystander. whose
hand was severely mangled By the charge.
Amorim was taken out to have his wounds
dressed, and Mackey, accompanied by the
German consul, proceeded to the residence of
police magistrate and surrendered himself
whereupon he was lodged in the apartments
of the staff major of the police barracks, and
the next day over 400 of the chief inhabitants
of the city went to compliment him and to
offer their services.

The Redskins Compel the Troops to Re. |

Hands In.
TUcsoN. Ari.. NAV 26.

TUCSON, Ari., May 26.
Advices received here from Lordsburg
state that the soldiers attacked the Indians on
Blue river, yesterday. but were compelled to
retreat with three of their number wounded.
1t is believed that the Indians will attempt to
recross into Sonora by way of Arizona. 1t
will be impossible for them to do so without
coming in contact with troops. The COW
boys, who are guarding every pass, number
fully l2O, and are thoroughly armed. They
are trailing the Indians, and should they meet
hostilities before they get into Mexico there
will be deadly fight. Bucks, squaws and
papooses will share in the fate of extermina-
lion. "No quarter" is the cry of the COW
boys.
A despatch from Santa Fe, New Mexico,
saws that Capt. Smith. of the Fourth cavalry,
had a fight last Friday with the Apaches, in
the Mogollon mountains, so miles east of
Alma. The Indians were routed. Their
loss is unknown. The troops are crowding
the redskins and another conflict is expected
at any moment.
