Tae Wenstex Fermenration.—The excitement created among the political and philosophical circles, by the recent movements, and present position of Daniel Webster, appears to increase—not to di- minish. It is daily assuming a more amusing, and @ more interesting shape. No speech ever made—no movement ever attempted, seems to have stunned to the same extent, the ultras of both parties. The ultra locotocos talk, and flounder, and fume, but with a mixture of farce that makes | it amusing. The ultra whigs are solemn, severe, angry, savage, coaxing, and cowardly by turns.— ‘The following extracts are characteristic of the lat ter class:— While the Wai of Massachusetts are anxious for a continuance of the mutual confidence and good will which has fora long time subsisted between them and Mr. Webster, it is necessary to the revival of that confi- der » which’ has been in some mearure shaken in the minds ef many ofthem, that they should know what are is present opinions and intentions in relation to the roaching elections. Does he intend to co-oper: vernor of this Commonwealth ? Does he intend to unite with them in sending delegates to a Natienal Con- tion for thenominationof Whig candidates for Presi. lent and Vice President of the United States, and pledg. ing themselves to support the nominatio1 bh shall be madeby such Convention? Will he give any explani tioa of the views which have been expressed by him in his Baltimore speech, and on other occasions, which will serve to remove the painful doubts which have been excited in the minds of many persons, of his disposition to contin: suppert the principle of affording protec- tion to domestic industry, which he ‘strongly maintained hitherto ?—Boston Daily Advi 4 Who can doubt that the reserve of Mr. Webster on some points, and his at lesst extraordinary language on other poimts, both in the Faneuil Hall and Baltimore speeches, have contributed to detract the whig party, not tn Massachusetts alone, but throughout the Union? That conviction has been long fermenting iz the public mind ; an’ it is no slight indication, both of the affection and re- spect entertained for Mr. Webster, that little utterance has heretofore been given to so deepa feeling. For our- selves, we consider Mr. Webster as having inflicted upon the whig partya deeper wrong even John Tyler, be~ riority of force of talent cause of his & and of in- fuence. but, say the no-party men, has he not served the country 1 We answer by another question, was not Mr. Ww Bs ny ter serving his country when he acted with hi 2 When for a public man, emment as Mr. Webster, ong known and looked up 'to osa party leader, his tends can find no other defence than by throwing blame | is party, and by the yey facto! claiming that he had rved his country rather than it—necrsserily implying idelity to the one was incompatible with fidelity to other—be must be in no very enviable predicament.— York American. ‘This is the first bursting out of the war—hate thay rankles in the breasts of the politicians and stock- jobbers—but thatit will be followed up by their usual violence and absurdity, we have no reason to deubt. ‘The position that Mr. Webster has assumed, is one of the highest patriotism—his views are eminently national and correct—he rises abovethe paltry fac- tions of the day, or the miserable purposes of stock- jobbers—hence the hate which they secretly in- dulge towards such a man. But this conflict isonly begun. The movement made by Mr. Webster will be felt all over the coun- with redoubled force in less than a month. Geear Tyier Movemenrs.—Orriciat Arroint- Barner.— We have just received the im- i ence that James Grant, No. 1 Ann yinted to the highly confidential ber to his Excellency, Captain John ‘yler,” during his approaching visit to this city, with the usual honors and emoluments of “Corporal i | ! | | of the Guard”—“ the run of the Kitchen,” &c. &e. {t seems that the number of applicants for this ef- tice, like all others, have been equal to legion, but t Grant, from the great genius he has recently layed in the discovery of a Hair Wash for hampooing” the heads of the “young democra. ” entirely carried the day with'Captain Tyler.— nt’s ansouncement ef this discovery is in the following style :— Grant's Dovste Distitcep Maorouia Hain |Wasn— For cleansing the head and removing daadriff, imparting a glosey appearance to the hair, unsurpassed in beauty.— The nervous headache, so distressing to many, is like- wise eradicated by this admirable Wash.—Directions tor use :—Wet the head well with the Wash,and rub with the hand for five or ten minutes ; then rinsethe head well with pure water, and dry with atowel.—Price 50 cents a bottle—washing the head, 25 cents. For sale by James Gaixt, sole proprietor, No. 1 Ann street, under the American Museum. ‘These are its public qualities—but the secret and confidential virtues are still more wonderful. A single bottle shampooed into the head of one of the hardest of the “young democracie,” will convert him at once into a good Tyler man—and on ordina- ry heads, a few drops will effect the purpose.— Vor shampooing the ‘ young democracie,” there- fore, this famous Magnolia Hair Wash far surpasses, according to philosophical experiment, all the gin, whiskey, or small beer that ever flowed into the Pewter Mug for the last twenty years. We believe that Captain Tyler may-now set down the “ young smocracie” as certain. Tur Preswent’s Procress.—This will be one of the most interesting affairs ever known since the days of Queen Elizabeth’s Progress to Kenilworth. 1e prospects of fun are brightening every day.— The following communication, from an anonymous correspondent, reveals an amusing piece of inge- nuity:— New Yorx, June 4, 1943. Eorron oy tHe Herato— I understand that some of our office holders, whose dig- nity has been offended by the course of the Committee of Common Couacil on the reception of the President, in denying them sn opportunity to render themselves con- »picuous here on the arrival of Captain Tyler, have hit upon the scheme of going to Philadelphia to meet him, in the hope of trusting themselves forward, and of being smuggled through e# special friends of the President. | trust the committee will be prepared for these tricks, and will use proper endeavors to thwart the selfish schemey of any man who has the impudence to attempt any such un- derhanded game, whether it be the Postmaster or any one 1 wish you would suggest to the Committee that it would be well for them to publish a notice, that no gen- tleman from New York will be admitted at Amboy on board the boat chartered by the Common Council, to con- vey the President to this eity.

Lieut Hovses.—As several errors were made in the list of the latitude and longitude of light houses pur coast, by Mr. Hasler, in his first edition, we have, on comparing the two reports, found the fol- lowing incorrectly given. As now published, they will be found correct, and to be depended on :— Atitupes ann Loxoitupes of Lrowt Ons OF THE UNITED STATER, AS DETER © PRELIMINARY CALCULATIONS OF THE mM Longitude counted ty from New York 3 City Hal" 3 Names of States © : = and Places 5 Fy S . s ; & q ; wan eer eens Ams. necticut 8 oh, 411613 0.06400 13950 E 72.20% Siete ld, 4102 50 002208 035 13 "73.2543 w Fork Dist ne ; 60) 51,7 01255 % 73.48 01 r 602256 09639 % 7324 18 0 003: 33,0 05315 “7307 44 mf ef 0.00 14,3 003 34 W 74 04 90 few Jerery Never-ias, 000049 OOM B 7959 42 Sir Stanon.—As all interested in the fate of the late captain of this ship, have received no authentic information of his death, we will state that the Sha- ron put into Sydne , New South Wales, on the 23d of December, 1813, to obtain hands, the crew hav- iog mutinied and killed Capt. Norris, and saied on the 6h of January ona cruise under the command of Capt. Smith Tux Desoiatep Tome or a Hexo.—If a man be i the right humor he can pick up a great deabof wis- dom in a grave yard. Most especially may he be- come wiser and better if he choose a grave yard in the midst of a crowded city, as the scene of his meditations amongst the tombs. We have just visited the well-tenanted grounds of Trinity church, and if we have learned nothing else, we are, at all events more perfectly convinced than ever, of the truth of that aphoriss: which lives in the sacred text—‘‘a prophet is not without honor, save in his own country.” We have just looked upon the desolated tomb of Lawrence—of him whose hero- ism death itself failed to subdue, and whose last breath gave immortality to the soul-inspiring words “Don’t give up the ship !” It is a sad sight, that tomb. Another winter will complete the ruin which ingratitude and ne- glect seem so anxious to consummate. The few bricks which have with such unavailing fidelity discharged their duty for the last few years, are already tottering to their fall, and the inscription stone will very soon lay low among the poisonous weeds, andthe long, rank grass, which have so perseveringly labored to hide it from the careless passer-by. With what a still, rebuking voice did that solemn ruin proclaim to us the ungratefulness of that great, spostrophized—posterity! Here we see the richest religious—aye, religious corporation in our land, suffering the poor memorial of one of earth’s noblest children, to moulder away under their very nose—bit by bit—with a sort of lux- urious ingratitude, which would make the very stcaesin the neighborhood cry out, if they hadn’t long since exhausted all their powers of indignant vituperation, Very near the ruined monument of the gallant Lawrence, there stands a proud memorial of a po- litical profligate. With most religious care, has it been tended. Its inscribed panegyric, couched in terms of most orthodox monumental falsity, has been annually recut, and the weeds, which—unlike those intruders at the tomb of Lawrence—find here a congenial soil, have suffered periodical destruc- tion, from the hands of those who cannot even af- fect that of which their nature 1s incapable—revern. ence for departed chivalry and worth. We will do something to rescue from the oblivion of the weeds, and the Trinity Church Trustees, the inscription which records the name, and short but brilliant career of Lawrence. Here it is:— In Memory of Carrain James Lawnencr, of the United States Navy, who fell On the Ist day of June, 1813, In the 221 year of his age, In the action between the frigates Chesapeake and Shannon. He had distinguished himself on various occasions, But particularly when commanding the sloop-ofwar Hornet, By capturing and sinking His Britannic Majesty's sloop-of-war Peacock, After a desperate’action of 14 minutes, His bravery inaction Was only equalied by his modesty in triumph, And his magnanimity to the vanquished. In private life He was a gentleman of the most endearing qualities, And s0 acknowledged was his public worth, That the whole Nation mourned his loss, And the enemy contended with bis countrymen, Who most should honor his remaine. On the opposite side of the unpretending obelisk are the following words, which the visiter can with difficulty make out:— The Hero is expiring breath Expressed his devotion to his country. Neither the day of battle, The anguish of a mortal wound, Nor the horrors of approaching death Could subdue his valiant spirit— is dying words were, “DON’T GIVE UP THE SHIP.” After all, history is the righteous judge, and she awards to men their rightful place and their appro- priate reward. Lawrence will continue to live long after his tomb has fallen to the dust, and the Trin‘ty Church people have quietly rotted into oblivion. Great Rergat. Meerinc.—Notwithstanding the meeting held last evening was merely preparatory to an immense mass concourse to be convened in the Park this week, yet at an early hour the large | room at National Hall was crowded to excess, and the seats prominently occupied by the fair and pa. trotic daughters of Erin’s Isle. The Hon. Moses G. Leonanp, member of Congress froin this city, wascalled to the chair, and an announcement being made that the Secretaries and Treasurer were pre- sent to receive contributions to aid the success of the repeal of the union between Ireland and Great Britain, a stream of money, consisiing of ones, twos, threes, fives, tens, filteens and twentys contin- ued to flow in until nearly ten o’clook at night. On the announcement of the names of the contributors, by one of the officers, the audience responded with hearty applause, regulated in its strength and con- unuance by the sha ee of the amount contributed The eagerness on the part of the audience to offer their contributions, and tie immense crowd present, delayed all further proceedings until near 10 o’clock at night, when the meeting was addressed by Chas. O'Connor, Esq., in a spirit-stirring appeal. He was followed by Mr. Melville and others, and the meet- ing then adjourned to assemble en masse in the Park, on some day to be selected this week, when a full report will be given in our sheet. Toxacco Cror.—The Richmond Star says this crop is in an almost ruinous condition. Accounts from the country are very gloomy.

Get your tickets in time. Don’t delay. Cuatuam Tukatre.—Hill’s appeal last night, was nobly andjwarmly responded to by a full attend- ance. Mirth and good humor prevailed throughout the performances, both on the stage and with the audience. It was the closing of Hill’s performances fora time at this Theatre ; but he leaves behind him a powerful attraction here in the recent acqui- sition of W. Marshall, W. G. Jones, and more par- ticularly of Mrs. Thorne, who seems to have ac- quired new vivacity since her illness. To-night Mr. Wood takes a benefit, when will be played the tra- gedy of “ Wallace, the Hero of Scotland,” in which W. G. Jones isto personate the hero. The Colum- sian Minstrels also appear, together with the Tat- tooed Man, The entertainments of the evening conclade with the *‘ Phantom Ship,” Mrs. Thorne playing Lestelle, and Mr. Wood Vanderdecken. Nisto’s Opera Frangais—The Garden opened last night—fine weather—and Madam Lecourt again appeared in her favorite character of the Count Létorierés, and gave great satisfaction. This even- ing Burton commences a short engagement, and of course will make every visitor laugh who is so fortunate as to see him. Miss Reynolds appears as Madam Galochard, and will sing two songs. Miss Ayres, Mies Horn, and a dozen other Misses all ap- pear. That's right, Niblo—nothing like variety— Opera, Pantomime, laughable Vaudevilles, tce Creams, grand Orchestra, Fruit and Musard, and — “Drices as usual.” The Black Domino is positively to be acted to-morrow, copies of which are for sale at Berteau’s, 315 Broadway. Tre Yervow Fever.—Advices from Taleahuana of the 14th February, state that two-thirds of the population of Guayaquil had died of yellow fever, and that the anthorities meditated burning the city. All vessels coming from any portin New Grenada, and along the coast as tar south as ‘Tombez, were subjected to quarantine in the ports of Chili. This cansed much inconvenience to our whalers touching for recruits. The Luminary, Capt. Warren, had jost performed torty days quarantine. Jt was hoped the government would modify the regulations eo as to lessen the period of detention as regarded whale ships.—Baltimore Clipper, June 5.

We have since received our papers and letters, and an- nex all the intelligence received by her. The news is not very important—but somewhat int i [From the Canton Press, Feb. 18.) B ‘Wamroa, Feb, 18, 1843. ‘The proclamation of the Imperial Commissioner Elepoo to the people of Canton, ied from the Hongkong Gazette will be read with interest, and we hope it may contain the sincere sentiments of that officer and his government. It will be seen mentioned that * of these gentry and scho- Jars have recently preeented themselves before the High Commissioner to make a_ surrender of their services forpurposes of war.” We mentioned this circumstance in our last issue, and that they had been kindly received by the Commissioner. It can- not fail tostrike every one who has been in the habit of perusing Chinese public documents addi the people, that the present one is cone: much less authoritative tone, more concil such papers used to be, and therefore leading to the inference that the people have during the late war gained much more influence upon the management of the government than they were hitherto possess- ed of. It is evident that the government, feeling its own weakness, triesto regain the affections it has lost during the, to the Chinese, so disastrous war, and we much fear that the spirit of hostility evinced by in pean may yet throw difficulties into the way of a final settlement. The mostimportant suc- cesses of the campaign have been ata great dis tance from Canton, and were therefore unfelt by its large and somewhat mercurial population, and the error committed by Captain Elliott of not allowing Canton to be occupied, if even temporarily only, by the troops, when it was altogether at their mercy, becomes now eae more evident. Ignorant as the Chinese in and near Canton have remained of the resources of the invading force, they are still convinced, that it was ante owing to the cowardice or treachery of their own officers that the small army under Sir Hugh Gough, at the time of their encampment on the hills about Canton, was allowed to retreat to their ships in eatety, and was not annihilated by the nmberless villagers, who, according to the Chinese, were ready cou to attack them, but who, if the truth must be told, generally kept at a very respectful distance from the corps that were sent out to disperse them. The speedy embarkation and apparent retreat of the British force, after this demonstration by the Chi- nese people, has caused them prodigiously to under- value the real strength of their enemy, and to over- rate, in a similar ratio, their own prowess and means. It will be some time, we fear, before this delusion will leave them, and may, in the mean time, work much mischief. Anxious, as we are, to see all the provisions of the treaty fulfilled, and the place and good understanding bet ween the two nations established on a firm basis, we yet must con- fess that we are not without inisgivings on the sub- ject. H. E. Admital Sir William Parker, arrived at Amoy on the 9th inst, on board H. M. 8. Corn- wallis. ‘We publish again some correspondence between H.E. SirHenry Pottinger and the Committee of British merchants, from which it will be seen that itseems to be contemplated by the @himese, that the present system of carrying on the trade at Canton Is at allevents tolast until the first of July next, and that the Hong debts are to be paid from the Consoo- fund at thattime. The British merchants are desi- rous that these payments should be made in four dif- ferent instalments, and we are glad to see that their suggestion has met so far with the approval of fH. M. Plenipotentiary, as to induce him to makea communication on the subject to the Imperial Com- missieners. The mode of paying by instalments ap- pears to us the preferable one by far, particularly as a considerable part of the three millions to be paid, must already have accumulated in tne Hong mer- chants’ hands, and would thus lead to a more expe- ditious settlement of this, to many, very important matter. Now that it is positively known that no change will take place during the present season in the manner of conducting business at Canton, we suppose it will soon regain the wonted activity of this time of the year, and the large stock of tea tind its way to Whampoa. Cuusan, February 9th, 1843, _ _ Wehave nonews here except that the emperor is in reality again preparing for war, which it is much, however, to be hoped will never again take place. This news of course we have from the Chinese, se- veral of whom have had earnest convereations with Mr. Gutzlaff on the subject. We are most anxious- ly expecting to hear somewhat further of what you are doing to the Southward; every body here is in aasate of excitement. Ice From Cuusan.—The Omega, Captain White, arrived on the 11th instant _at Kongkong from Chu- san, with a cargo of ice. We will not say that this is the very first importation of ice to the southern regions of China ina British vessel; for the fact may have occurred a century and a half ago, when the British factory was established at Ningpo ; but it is certainly the first cargo ot ice breught from Chusan within the memory of man. i ‘We hope some enterprising speculator will pur- chase and fiad means to store the Omega’s cargo, uatil the warm weather commences. The ice houses at Chusan afford a hint the Chinese will per- fectly understand; and we conclude this arrival will put the Hongkonians on the gui vive to erect similar structures. The arrival offers a cause of con- ratulatron to the Islanders, which we most cordial- y tend —Canton Register 14th Feb. The Pekin Gazette contains no intelligence of im- portance, % A The smalll-pox is making frightful ravages among the Portuguese and Chinese inhabitants of Macao and the neighboring villages; the death-bell and knell is heard every day. The Delhi Gazette thus confirms the on dit which has for some time past been prevalent here, of the appointment of Sir Hugh Gough as commander in- chief in India :— “*Wehave heard, on unquestionable authority, that Lieutenant General Sir Hugh Gough, G. C. B succeeds Sir Jasper Nichols as commander in chie in India, and that he has been requested to make all haste to assume his important command.” On all occasions of storming any city, camp, or cantonment of the Chinese, opium was found in mosses every where, exposed, without fear of detec: tion or punishment—or possibly in defiance of either. Junks on the great artery of China, the Yangtsze- keaug, were often boarded, and opium was found openly exposed in chests in the holds, without the slightest attempt at concealment. Thus. the smug- gling of opium into China by the natives is conduct- ed upon a far more liberal, dare-devil system than the cunning smuggling trade in tue Canton river by the foreign merchants, who, either ashamed of their vocation, oriearfulof te consequences of detection, very cunningly smuggle their piece goods, of various denominations and fabrics, out and in, under car- goes of rice, simulating plenty to the multitude, but cheating the government by their dissimulation.

Dear Bennett :— Having noticed in your paper of the 30th May, a statement relative to the arrival in New York of that illustrious leader of the haut ton in London, the Count D’Orsay, coupled with a query as to whether the report was or was not correct, for the informa- tion of the numerous readers of your admirably con- ducted “ Herald,” I beg to state that I have the ho- nor of being acquainted with the Count, and have now in my possession several letters in his own hand-writing, having had fsome correspondence with him on a subject of some political interest vome years ago, in England ; and that the state- ment with regard to his arrival in New York is ¢ rect ; and also that ke is at present residing in some private apartments up town. 1 have had an interview with the Count since his arrival here, and as itmay be some satistaction to your numerous circle of subscribers, who may have some curiosity to have a sight of this man of taste and fashion who for the Jast twenty years has had the lead of the fashionable circles in the great English metro- polis, Ihave further to state, that his Lords! may be seen three or four days a week, betwee the hours of 12 and 2 o’clock, quietly strolling over the Washington Parade Ground. Since his arrival in this country, the Count has become a compara- tively early riser. In England, itis well known, he never made his appearance in public before 2 0’ clock in the day. Those who see the Count will see aperfect figure ofaman. Your information, howe- ver, as to the color of the Count’s hair and imperiale is not correct—thatis as to their natural color they being originally of a light brown—though since he arrived in this country he has dyed them a dark brown. The Count does not, and never did, wear mouttaches, Tam, dear Bennett, Yours very faithfully, A Constant Reaper. Important yrom Camrgacuy—Anoruee Batrur BETWEEN THE Mextcans aNp Textans—Cowampiy Act or Tas Yucatan Commovors.—We have re- ceived the following aecount of an engagement . tween the navies of Texas and Mexico, which, at this time, is highly interesting to the friends of Com. Moore and his gallant officers :— {From the New Orleans Republican of the 27th ult.1 Texas Baio or Wan Wuanron, We hod another ag 0 pond TLL agit dron yecieeney at 4 o’clock. The wind bein, very light but fair, we stood out in company, but as usu: the steamers stood out to sea before wecould get within range ofthem. Having escorted their vessels out several miles, they bore down cog tery it being then about 10 AM., andthe wind having died away, we per- ceived that ef intended giving us afight. Lying os we were, all becalmed, our gallant little Commander, at 11 o'clock, made signal to attack the enemy, then abou’ a mile anda half to windward, or rather seaward of us. This we soon answered, and brought our long Tom to beer on the iron steamer Guadaloupe, the Commodore at the same time engagingthe Montezume. The actionhere continued hot and heavy for about two hours, changing our position but very ‘little, and the steamers occasion- ally hauling off to repair dameges, or probably to try and et at such a distance as would be too great for our shot. ut a shortly after returned to the fight, 1 am in- duced to believe they hauled cff to repair damages. On one of these occasions, when the Mentezum: ceiving a brisk fire from the Commodore, hauled stood away, the Commodore, finding himself within range also ot the Guadaloupe, opened his fire on her, and with the first shot, carried away her signal ft, which drop. cefully over her taffrail. ‘The sea breeze avout this time sprang up, and the action again became general, the Commodore engaging the Montezuma, and our little beauty, the Guadaloupe. The action now, a8 well asthe day, became very hot ; shot flew around us in every direction, but none of them took the least effect, whilst oar shot, 1 am sure, must have done immense damage. We have not been able to ascertain to acertainty, but all are of opinion on board that we da- maged the machinery of the Guadaloupe very materially. One thing is certain, she was enveloped in her own steam for a considerable time, and was seen afterwards to work with one wheel. About ade one, P. M., the atten- tion of the steamers seemed directed to the Commodore, and they rarely deignedjto give usa shot, although we kept up a very brisk fire on both. About 2o’clock, one of our seamen was blown to atoms Ms the gun at whieh he was engaged. He was ramming home the cartridge, and the captain of the gun not seeing him at the muzzle, fired, gnd blew the man to pieces. From thistime until three o’clock, the n became general, and very hot. The Commodore received shot in his bull and bul- At 8, the steamers hauled off, and the Commodore, H received a shot between wind and water, which Cs his vessel to leak much, wore ship and stood back for the anchorage. He made signal for us alsoto with- draw from the action. We gave the Guadaloupe a part. ing broadside, and followed in the wake of the ship. At 4, came to anchor oft Campeachy, where learned that the ship had received fiteen shot. She wasshot in almost every direction, below and aloft ; yet what is most mira- culous, did pot lose a single spar. She hed two killed and twenty-five wounded ; among the latter is Lieut. Wilbur and Midshipman Bryant. A number of amputations have taken place—e great pity,as a better or braver crew never trotted a deck. It was with great reluctance we withdrew from the ac- tion ; but the magazine of the flag ship had 25 inches of water in it, and as they had uo powder it was useless to remain a target for the eaemy- The Mexicans seemed very glad that the day’s work an terminated, as they did not make the last effort to follow up the engagement.— ‘The loss on their side must be very great, a3 at the com- mencemeat of the action their decks were lined with men. Iam quite confident that if the action lasted one hour longer, and we couldthave got a little closer to them thau we were, we would have captured them. You will, no doubt, think it strange that 1 have said nothing as yet of the gun boats. Had I commenced wri. ting yesterday, Icould not have written of any thing but their dastardly cowar ! but not so when [ cool; my contempt for them is so great I cai Ce thing about them. There are two topsi and four very fine sloops, exeh of which carries two long twenty-four pounders—the most efficient kind of guns that can be n Our Commedore made signal for them to take their stations and attack the enemy, but instead of that the, peachy, and did not come within three miles of the enemy at any time. Whereas, had they come boldly to the fight, their size would have protected them, while their long guns would have so dis- abled the enemy as to make them easy prizes to usin a very short time. Captain Boylan, or rather Commodore Boylan, has shown himeelf an infernal coward, and has damned himself forever in the eyes of those who beheld his conduct. The walls and churches in Campeachy were crowded on our return, and thousands of brunettes waved their snow white handkerchiefs a los bravos Texanos. This morning, about 5 o'clock, a very warm engage- ment took place ashore, between the Campeachyancs and Centralists. From the suburbs of Campeachy, or the western part outside the wall, being in possession of the Centralists, they opened their fire, which was return- ed with compound interest from*the walls. From the heights also, outside Campeachy, the Mexicans poured in their saot. wark: Fatvay Niant, May 19. ps ashore have been engaged for upwards of nd nights, The loss on the Central side is very great ; the Yucatecos have had only 10 killed.

The wind was so light, that at no time were we nearer than a mile and three quarters. The advantage of steam and heavy guus is tremendous, parti- cularly in the Gulf of Mexico, in the summer,where there is so much light weather The whole fire of both steamers was directed at this ship; notashot struck the Brig. We fired over 500 cartridges, and the long gun from the Whar- ton, (obtained since we arrived here,) was fired 66 times, and repeatedly with grent effect. hen tae sea breeze came in, the Brig was caught aback, and before she got round on the same tack, we were some distaice ahead, because we could not heave too, as we would have run the risk of being raked ; she, however, made soon got within gun shot ag: I forgot to mention that Ihave obtained since my arrival, two long 18 pounders, which have been of great service. Our crew behaved nobly ! a finer set of men were never on board ship ; and as to the officers under my command, it would be impossible for me to express to you my admi- ration of their conduct and bearing. ‘The Gaudaloupe was very muc! led, and when we wore, to stand in for our ancho: she did not move her wheels for over fort: e was, however, to windward, and we could not get wp to her. One of the shell shot struck the Guadaloupe abaft the wheel, which must have done her considerable injury. I have fired but very few of them, owing to the distance that they have alwayskept fromus. I am reserving them for close quar- ters. On the 17th ond 18th there was brisk firing kept up on both sides on shore, and the gun boats tooka hand—the Mexicans having taken a position inthe suburb of San Roman, which they were compelled to evacuate this morning. I was on the walls yesterday morning for about an hour, and the musket balls were whizzing a small few, and many were injured on either side. 1 ima- gine they were not Jess than five or six hundred yards apart, I also enclose you a copy of the Surgeon's report of killed and wounded Frederick Shepherd was one of the crew of the San Antonio ; he was confived on board this ship from the 11th March, 1842, until hts acquittal and release ; he was captain of No. 5 gun, and most nobly had the poor fellow redeemed his character from the charge of participating in the mutiny on board that. ill- fated vessel--for a better I had not on board the vessel. ‘The wounded men are doing well ; several of them are in the hospital at Campeachy, and the Governor is very urgent thatthey should all be sent on shore ; (two men have their arms ed, and one a leg—Thomos Barnet and John Norris an arm, and Owen Timothy a leg,) but the Surgeon prefers keeping them on board, at lenst for the present, ‘Those 63 pound balls are tremendous missiles, and the way they did whistle or rather hum over our heads was acaution,I tell you. They fifel a great many over the poop where | wes standing, and several of them were dis- posed to be rather teo intimate. I will be ready to give them another chance in a few days, but I will wait for a strong breeze, and if can get near enough to use our shell shot, { feel confident that they will tell a big talein a few minutes, A fishorman came in this afternoon, and said thathe had been alongside of the el eg to-day, and that she had 47 men killed and 30 wounded ; he also said that nearly all the men were on board the Gaadaloupe forthe urpose of boarding this ship ; which, by the way, they ada fair chance of doing, for, during the four hours fight, we chased them not less than 12 oF 14 miles.

WHITE, of Nos. 175 and 231 Broadway- At each of his establishments, and more especialiy at the latter, (which is fitted up ina traly-superb style) may be found specimens of the Phetographic Science whic! cannot be equalled any where. Mr. White’s admitted, and infinite pre-eminence, is de rived, in chief, fromthe vast superiority of his appara- tus, which combines all the original inventions with every recentimprovement. I cannot now add more than to invite yourself, as well as every other admirer of the art, to pay a visit to Mr. White’s Rooms, which comprise two splendid galleries of most perfect portraits. Qg@- WHICH IS THE PRETIFST GIRL ? “ Oh, how happy could 1 be with thee love, Were the other dear charmer away.” Two sisters, were being courted by a young man, who much admired those two grandest gifts of nature—aclear complexion and od head ef hair. One had a good healthy, rosy complexion, but had bad hair. The other had beautiful hair, but a horrible complexion. Well, the et oa bought a three shilling bottle of Jones’ Coral lair storative, and a cake of Italian Chemical Soap. In two weeks they were both se altered, that he exclaim: ed ag above—here are the qualities of both. ‘The soup cures all cutaneous eruptions, pimples, blotches, freckles, salt rheum, and makes dark or yellow skin healthy and clear. The other forces the hair to grow, stops it falling off, cures scurf or dendruff, and makes light,tred or grey hair dark. ‘These are sold ot the sign of the American Eagle, $2 Chatham st, N.
