It will be recollected that one of the pretendep causes for the interference of France and England in the affairs of the Argentine Republic and the: Banda Oriental, is to open the river Parana to the commerce of the world. To do this, they fitted out an expedition to convoy all the vessels that offered, up that river, for the purpose of trading with the inhabitants in the interior---with Para- guay, &c., &c. The convoy passed up last Novem- ber, were attacked by the Argentines, and consi- derably injured. It returned early in June, was again attacked at San Lorenzo, and again serious- ly injured. The attack of the Argentines on the combined forces of the French and English was so spirited and brave, that we have been induced to have a plan of the passage of the convoy engraved, from one kindly furnished to us by Capt. Scott, of the bark Mason Barney. The above is the plan. The return trip is thus mentioned in the Buenos Ayres Packet, of the 13th of June: The piratical convoy consisted of 95 merchantmen, led by 12 ships of war, viz.: the steamers Firebrand, Gor- gon, Alecto, Lizard and Harpy, brigantine Dolphin and brig Fanny, British ; and the steamers Gassendi and Ful- ton, corvette Coquette, brig San Martin, and brigantine Procida, French— mounting in all 85 guns of libres from 24 to 80 lbs. To oppose this formidable array, besides a battery of three pieces placed the night previous onan island in front of our fprincipal position, we had only 17 piecs of fying artillery and 600 infantry. At the hour above-mentioned, the enemy commenced a tremen- dous fire upon our positions, with a view of protecting the convoy. We returned it in a spirited manner, no! losing sight of the merchantmen, whose cupidity had led them into the scrape. At half-past meridian, a British bark of about 250 tons burthen, (supposed to be the Holy wood or the Caledonia,) and three schooners, one of them pilot-boat rigged under Correntino colors, in their or to avoid our fire, got aground on a bank nea: land on the opposite coast. Five of the enemy’s larg ers proceeded to their assistance, but finding our fir hot for them, they relinquished the undertaking, and fied at full speed. Subsequently the Lizard was sent on the same errand, but had it not been for the timely aid of two large steam- ers which returned to protect her, she would inevitably have been destroyed. : At 2pm. the firing entirely ceased, the enemy having set fire to and abandoned the vessels aground. The latter were soon consumed, with the exception of the pilot- boat rigged schooner, laden with bides, yerba and tobac- co, which was rescued from the flames by four boats despatched by us from the shore. The greater part of the merchantmen threw their deck loads overboard, in order to avoid grounding, and we could see tercios of yerba and petacces of tobacco consigned to the intermingled with the bodies of the killed. | belie’ thirty-two of the latter have been counted. Both vessels of war and merchant: died with our shot. It will t pair before they can proceed on theirv ya; hots grape and round, pemy must have fired at ‘ongreve rockets.

Treatre Licensss In Boston.—There appears to be strong objections on the part of the more re- ligious of the Boston community to the granting of li- censes to the theatres, except on certain conditions, and those conditions are tor the suppression of what plicants seem to consider necessary evils. The tr mn ers andthe remonstrants against granting the licenses without further restrictions, appeared before the Mayor and Aldermen yesterday. E.G Austin, peared counsel of the National Theatre, and Ni jale, Junr, Esq. for Mr Wyman, of the Federal street theatre, but no counsel appeared for any other petitioner. The re- monstrants were represented by Mesers. George B. Em- erson, William T. Eustis, Moses Grant, Walter Chan- ning, George G. Channing, and Rey. Warren Burton — Some of the remonstrants were bg ore to all theatrical exhibitions as inherently bad and demoralizing. Others believed that they might be so regulated as to be harm- loss in their moral influence and afford rational and pro- fitable amusement. The remonstrants asked that the fol- wi might be laid on all theatres :— Ast. That no i liquors should be sold in them ; and to affect this, tno drinks of any descrip- tion should be sold within the walls of the theatre. 2d. That no separate entrance should be allowed to the third row ; but that there should 3d. That boys and girls 1d not be admitted unat- be one common en- tended by parents and guardians. oth.

ARMY INTELLIGENCE,. &e. &e. &e. q [From the N. O. Picayune, August 29.) As there were two or three revenue cutters at Brazos bag the Alabama left there, we presume that Mr, sham had no difficulty in procuring an imme- diate conveyance to Vera Cruz. Mr. Habersham, it will be recollected, was the bearer of Mr. Buchanan’s letterto Commodore Connor, and the Mexican Secretary of War, but had been detained here for the want of a vessel going to Vera Cruz. (From the New Orleans Delta, Aug.329.] We learn, on what we believe to be reliable authority, that accounts had been received by General Taylor, pre- vious to the sailing of the Alabama, informing him that General Paredes, at the head of 15.000 men, was ap- peeaaking Saltillo om the 15th. It is supposed that these despatches relate to this unexpected move of the Mexi- can forces, It was reported at the Brasos that General Santa Anna had been made prisoner by Com. Connor. {From the N. O. Bulletin, August 28.] We were yesterday shown a letier received by a gen- tleman from an officer of the y high in rank,in which it is stated that General Taylor would move from Ca- on the 26th instant, and march for Monterey at the of the he intends leading into the inte- rior, The same letter states that reliable information had been received that a large force of the enemy was on the march to Monterey, and that the troops at that city were assiduous iu their endeavors to fortily it. The opinion was he: pie by those of the army having ac- Rage be the best information, that another battle was near at i [From the New Orleans Pic. August 28.’ By the next arrival from the army we may look for news of more stirring importance than any we have re- ceived thence since the capture of Matamoras. We have no doubt that Gen. Taylor is now moving his columns upon Monterey, and the intelligence from that quarter indicates that the reduction of the city will be obsti- nately contested. Recent arrivals from the mountains reporta eo force concentrated in and about Monterey, consisting of a goodly portion of regular troops. Un- less these rumers be greatly exaggerated, fresh fields of glory are ripening for the sword. What effect the late revolution in Mexico will have upon the soldiery in the Northern inces remains to be se These force: must have collected as a part of the army Paredes designed to command ot, been concen- trated at Monterey withia afew weeks, as shortly after the U. 8. army crossed the Rio Grande, spies sent into the interior, reported no troops this side of the moun- tains. [From the New Orleans Delta, Aug. 29 ] We are gratified to learn that our fellow citizens of the West, after having suffered the burthen of » predatory w for so many years, at last deriving some advan- tage from this annexation war, as it is sometimes called. A gentleman who has had opportunities for obtaining very correc t information, gives it as his opinion that the government of the U. States is now disbursing among the inhabitants of the Guadaloupe and vicinity at k per day for wagons, provisions, cattle, horses, that before the Uhibuahua expedition leaves San Antonio for the interior, they will have left behind them from $200 000 to $300,000, as a permanent addition to the cur- rency ofthe West. This is one of the “contingencies of annexation,” of which they will not complain. another will be that many of those who thus visit this beautiful country as volunteers, will be certain to re- main, at the end of the war, as permanent settlers. This disteiiation of the public money is made among the Lape lee a et eae it is most needed, will contribute mest to the general prosperi- ty of the country. {From the New Orleans Picayune.) Camanco, Mexico, August 18, 18461 do not recollect havin, many detailed account of the wounding of Majer Brown, at the bombardment of the fort which now bears his name. | was very much interested the other evening, while listening to a description of the sad scene given by a tleman who was an eye-witness, and wh tate! be relied on a8 perfectly correct. On the mornit fthe 6th May, the fourth day of the bombardment about day-break,the gallant commander of the fort took ad\ of a short cessation of the ene- my’s fire to get a li rest, having been constantly on the watch, the night before. He remained in his tent about an hour, when he left it and visitea the bastion commanded by Capt. Miles. Here he found several ‘oung officers collected, who were conversing, and jecuitry remarking on’ the novelty of their position, ving never betore heard of enemy's cannon. Tre Ma- tt jor joined in the conversation, but ina skort time them, saying, as he turned away , “ Young gentlemen, Thope you may live to = many battles; Sod as I know you all, I hope you may have an opportunity to do your- selves justice.” He left this bastion to visit Capt Lowd, and gave that officer orders to fire a certain number o! an® at certain intervals, and to produce as ‘an ef- fectas possible. This was done for only known to himself, A few hours afterw: as Ma- jor won ngain going round the fort, adjutant, Lieut. Page, ant and ve yi officer, now adjutant of the 7th infantry, him the guns which he had ordered Capt: Lown to fire the signal agreed upon between and himself to inform the General that he beseiged. He had scarcely fivished the when they heard the report of a mortar. At instant they were ing between the traverse runs across the fort and the magazine. T! knew from what direction the shell was coming, but both of them fell down to avoid it. Major Brown reclined against the traverse, and Adjutant Page against the magazine. They were within about eight feet of each other. As the Saajor was in the act of lying down, his leg wi an instant brought in the same position as il‘ he been sitting ina chair—or bent nearly to a right angle, the foot resting on tho ground. Page was looking at him at that instant; saw the shell strike him in its descent. {t hit him on the knee, and crushed the whole leg downward to the foot, tearing his boot to pieces. The blow threw him partly over, and resting on his hands and one foot, and turning pole from tho intensity of the pain, he exclaimed, ‘My God!” which, as far as Ihave heard, was the only exclamation of that nature which the brave man made from his fall until his death. ‘The instant young Page saw that his com was wounddd, he to his feet and looked to assist in the hespital.

Mr. Worden moved to,recommit the report to the judiciary commit- tee with instructions to amend in accordance with a plan he Debated, and then the whole subject was Jnid over, and the report of the sudlcay committee ta- ken up. Tho question was upon the following section : Surrogates shall be elected for four years. They shall be compensated by fixed salaries, and they shall not re- ceive to their own use any fees or peters of office. The surrogate may be made a judge of any inferior court, which may be established in any Kee Lost. The question was then uponfthe tollowing sec- ns for the organization of aconrt of conciliation : There may be established in any county one or more tribunals of conciliation, each to be composed of not more than three conciliators, to be elected as the legis lature may direct. They be paid a reasenable com- pensation to be fixed by law, and all fees received by them shall be paid into the country treasury.

Mr. Patterson moved following as a substitute for the two sections : Tribunals of conciliation may be organized by the le- gislature. Mr. Young moved to add “ without costs to parties.” Mr. Hart moved to amend the first of the above seetions ao out the compensation to be paid t0 the con- liators, and the disposition to be made of the fees. Agreed to, 69 to 20. Mr. Young’s motion to Mr. Patter- son’s section wasrejected, and then the section of Mr. Patterson was rejected, 68 to 29. The vote was then taken on the first of the two sections as amended, and it was rejected, 43 to 42. Mr. Miller Px notice of a mo- tion to reconsider. The second of the above sections fell with the rejection of the first.

Scounpre at Larce—-Firry Dotuars Re- warp !!—A story of a singular interest, and of an almost incredible nature, has been rehearsed us, which we hasten to lay before our readers. A state- ment of the whole transaction has been offered us, by the afflicted husband, Mr. Reynolds, which wall be found below. We would premise that Mr. R. is well-known in Belfast and Canea which town he resided for about thirty years. 1842 he removed with his family to the township of Star, Hocking County, Ohio, and lived three years within two or three miles of a man by the name of Fellows, with whom he became acquainted, and who has now robbed him of his wife and children. We join with Mr. R. in requesting editors to copy, or in some way notice this extraordinary transaction: — INronmation wantev of Mrs. Betsey Reynolds, who lett Belfast, Alleghany cso on the 30th day of April in company with a man by the name of Samuel Fel I Itis fee Haney they have gone west or southwest, as they have been traced to Buffalo, and the family und wife to Cleveland. The subscriber at the time was in Michi and up to this time Fellows was residing in ig there a wife and two children. While his wife was absent at her father’s visiting, he disposed of his farm, and pocketing the proceeds, came with the children to Belfast, pretending to be commissioned by myself to bring Mrs. R. money, and was on his way to Philadelphia. He staid a day in Belfast, and as was supposed, pro- ceeded on his way. A day or two afterwards, Mrs. R. and her family—oi five children, four girls and one boy —left, pretending that I wis waiting for her at Cleve- and, Ohio, The teamster who’ took her to Buflulo, re- ports that he overtook Fellows at Arcade, and that he ‘and his children proceeded with my family to Buffalo, since which time nothing has been heard from either of them. Mrs. Reynolds isa plexion, dark hair, large ht com- front rr woman, of rather jue eyes, and has lost her teeth in the upperjaw.” She is lively and intelligent; he of age is 31.

She frge of “Ess light brown hair, large blue eyes, is of ion—rather round face, and is smart and intel girl of her age—handy at work and hardy and indus trious. ‘The second child is named Mary Elizabeth; blue eyes, light hair, very light complexion, and not so lively, or quick in her motions as Sophia. The third child, Susan Sardinia, js uncommonly lively and active, and extremely slim. She has not so light complexion, hair nor eyes ; about ten years of age. hair was quite short and inclined to curl.

Mrs. R. was enciente at the time of leaving Belfast, and was probably delivered the last of July or first of August. Said Fellows is a blacksmith by trade—e first rate —— about thirty years, quite slim, 5 feet and 10 inches in height, dark complexion, dark brown hair, dark penetrating eye, thin face and a high forehead. He a speculator and ler; hasa winning address, and is smooth and plausible in his manners. His children were boss Rufus, the oldest, was six ‘ears of age, very slim, dark complexion, dark eyes and aur, and very active. Augustus, the younger oy, has very light hair, and light large eyes. It is supposed the villain Fellows has an eye to the eldest girl, and he has several times expressed himself unbecomingly in relation to her. Fitty doliars reward will be for the apprehension and detention of Fellows, so that he may be brought to justice. Any person having information of either of the indi- viduals named above, are requested to communicate im- mediately with the subscriber, at Belfast, Allegheny county, New York, and oblige a distressed husband and parent.
