Louis Republican, Sept. 3} The western mail brings us other letters from Inde- Lireeys nS zelaiee date, however, than the oue receiv- 'y us yest from Mr. Colburn, per steamboat.— They embody the same information which we have al- | ready published. But one of the letters states, in addi- tion, thut private letters, brought by Mr. Colburn, says that it was curren ly reported. and in fact know! Santa Fe, that Goveraor Armijo had left that pl | some said for good, others, nut. “ He has evidently rest- | ed in very great sinessever since he first learned that the Ameriran army was approaching Santa Fe with hostile intentions, and Low, | suppose, 18 determined to make good lis flight, while every thing is favorable.” Inperenpence, Aug 26, 1846. I had anticipated before this being able to communi- cate further news from the prairies, but those reported a8 co! in sbortly, having failed to do so as yet, they arrive.t on the following day. In lien ofthis, however, I will trouble you with a few statistical details of the trade to Santa Fe, and the Southern Mexican previaces, which may be interesting to some of your readers. The most of my data are obtained from reliable sources, #o that you may depend upon their general correctness. The le tii soar, owing in great part to the closing of the ports on the sea board, has been very much increased over any former one, and has been conducted mainly by both Awcricans and Mexican adventurers. Their names —the amount of their goods—their value—the number of packages, of wagons, and carriages, and of men and servants employed. ere about as follows: Raphael Armijo. anaancs.

Many think it impossible forthem all to be sold—others have adifferent opinion. The amount is certainly unusually large, and, perhaps, not demanded in the present or in any emergency. Had nothing intervened, and sll things progressed as rapidly as Sppearances indicated, we might reasonably have concluded thi e amount above stated, though very large. would been much in- creased, and, perhaps, doubled or trebled in avery fow years; but as it is, we have no assurance that the trade can go on uninterruptedly, for some tit ret to come. American ingenuity, and’ New England industry and perseverance may work wonders in that unknown laud, af we take possession of the count jut it needs time for us to get a proper foothold on ti plains, and an entrance into their mines: yet it must and will come, and that at no distant day.

Ihave said but little of the blockading opera- | rento, in a special excursion of the British steamer Ad | tions of the medintors on this side the river. Up | to the 13th of April no English or French vessel ef) war was seen off any other port of the whole | coast than at this city. Numerous small vessels of various nations,four or five Americans, entered various ports b-low here, with, and even some | without, cargoes, and all took away full cargoes j launches from the vessels here made no captures, | except occasionally a few peach boats belonging , to poor foreigners, who for lack of other employ- ment, had gone to some of the little islands akere | to brine peaches to the market here. Peach trees | cow there wild and in great abundance. | As the blockaders were suffering for fresh pro- visions, there would have been some excuse for | these captures, if they had paid these poor boat- men a fair price for their peaches ; but instead of this, they took them pnb and amused them- selves by placing their boats at some distance | trom the vessels, and practising gunnery, by sink ing them with their heavy guns. I believe the ways gent the robbed peach merchants ashore some days detention. This peach boat war is a noble oceupation for the combined royal navies of England and France. I have conversed with some of those who have been prisoners. They say, the subordinate officers and sailors are heart ly ‘sick and ashamed of the whole blockade ; that when the sailors are where they cannot be over- heard by their officers, they damn the intervention and shout “ Viva Rosas!’ Sometime in Februa- ry,the blockaders captured some whale bouts sent out by this Government to capture such Monte- videan vessels as they could, and to give as much annoyance as possible, tothe Parana expedition. ‘These boats, with about 30 men, were under the command of quative of the United States, by the naine of Wright; the officers were regularly com- mussioned by the Government as Navy Otficers. They captured fifteen or twenty small vessels at various times, and got them in with safety ; final- ly, after having taken a rich prize, they were sur- prised, and twenty-one of them captured and carried prisoners to Montevideo. Major Wright .and three others made their escape in a small boat, and have returned. The majority of these prisoners were foreigners of various nations, all of whom were released at Montevideo, except two Americans, one named Smith, who came here some years since as Cap- tain of an Americen vessel, and the other Fair- field,an American seaman. Smith, was Lieu- tenant, and second in command of the whale boats. Why was it that Portugese, Sardimians, Brazilians, all others were released except these two Americans, and why where they sent prison- erstoEngland? What right had England to take them prisoners at all? rad Aberdeen and Mr. Ouseley, both declare they are not at war with Buenos Ayres. Certainly, Governor Rosas had a | right to carry on his war with Montevideo, and send out vessels to prevent an infraction of his revenue laws, and his laws regulating the navigation of his rivers. And Arerican citizens had « right to enter his service for these purposes, and so long as England is not at war! with Buenos Ayres, they were violating no treaty | with England, and she had no rightto send them to England as prisoners. Can it be that our con- sul and navy officers at Montevideo suffer -d this to be done, under their own eyes, without a re- monstrance, and that our Charge and Consul at this place will remain quiet! { trust in some thatit will reach the ears of the government 6, and that they will make a prompt de- mand for their release. One American, named Bowen, they released, exacting an oath from him notto take up arms again curing the present difficulties. hat right had they to exact such an oath? I have been told the consul at Monte- video interfered for him. Why not for the others also % On the Sst of March, the English merchant brig Ringdove from Montevideo for the Salado, a port about 12) miles below here, for a cargo of ides. She arrived off the harbor; the next day she could not enter in consequence of low tides and head wind@; she remained at anchor without seeing an Fnaishior Fa mach vessel of war, till the 13th of April, when Qpery — boxe in sight, made a prize o! Tae carried her to Mon- wvideo, After an e: the English Ad- miral gave her up, on t that she was not a legal prize, there being there when she arrived e went back to th lado, was cap- tured by a French vessel, and is sai be now alongside the French Admiral undef @ French flag. Ilook for the issue with some , but possibly the whole matter was understood and ar- ed in advance ‘ ‘There were three or four other vessels in the Sa- tado, one American, when the Ringdove was first They got out in segs with full cargoes. Che American was the brig Hanover. On the 20th of April there were six small ves- sels, all Sardinians, in the port ef Ensenada, about thirty miles below here, either receiving or preparing to receive cargo. Vessels had been go- ing tere ever since the declaration of the block- ie. There had been no vessels of war stationed nearer than here. On the morning of the 21st, a namber of armed launches from the vessels here rua in about daylight, boarded the vessels, car- ried off what they eould, even to the sailors’ lothes, then set fire to three of them, and escaped ou secing an armed body approaching on shore ; two were consumed and one sunk to extinguish tae flames. ¢ What will be said of this robbery and bucning of neutral vessels, under such circumstances? And yet these pirates are sent here to humanize and civilise, and tranquilize these countries. The next day after this, an English officer, a mate I believe, named Wardlove, who had par- ticipated in the burning, was shot in co.d blood as the Engheh say, a short distance below there. The English mivister, Admiral and officers, are all filled with horror at this “cold blooded butch- ery’’ by Rosas. Now, say they, the world can seo his barbarity. Their ory is, that Wardlove’s boat got aground, and he, the officer, was enticed ashore by a flag of truce, surrounded, and shot, A likely story, that an otlicer would go to a flag of truce, instead of 6 oe tocome to him. The story ashore is, that the boat being aground, Wardiove came ashore, and on seeing a party of soldiers, hoisted a white flag, and was taken pris- oner—the tide rose, the boat was got off, he made some signal, and started to run, when he was shot. My word for it, Rosas will probe the matter, and ul his soldiers wre to blame they will be punished. After these occurrences, Rosas issued a decree, directing the offivers in the different districts to seize all English or French who come into the har- bors to burn vessels, and to punish them as incen- daries, that is with death, and tu give an account of their proceedings to the Government.

Suicwwe at the County Poor Houss.—We learn from Col. Eaton, tbe. keeper of the county poor house. that one of the inmates of the establishment, named Jobn Warriugton, committed suicide, by hanging himself to a tree near the house, on Thuraday night last. Warrington was an Englishman, aged from thirty to athirt e, and came to this country about two years ince, bringing with him his wife, formerly his servant irl and money to the amount of $700 or $800, (accord- to his account of himself) They came via New Oflem.e end up the Mississippi, and Bnally stopped at Lancaster, eleven miles this side of Buffalo.

Mr. R.thenadv: tolook up some wark, and being urged once or twice he finally left, and 8 or 9 days after was found near by inan old stage, nearly starved, and his feet frozen. Ho was then taken to the poor house, where he has remained ever since. During his stay there, he has frequently left the house wnd crawled into the barn and other bye places, with a view, no doubt, to starve himself to death. “After bis death, Col. Eaton came down here and made more inquiries about him. He finds that he has now, at Mr. Rhyne’s, a chest of cloth- ing, &c., of some value. There appears to be a little mystery about a certain fun, which he owned. Before he was taken to the poor house, and while at Rhyne’s, his chest remained at-thecur-house. He appeared to be disinclined te go neer it, though urged to do so. At one time he bought a pair of pants, when he had good ones in his che But finally, he was induced to go and take his chest over to Mr: Khyne’s. Before he opened it, he told Mr R. that he had avery fine gun in his chest, appeared to be quite elated t it, and said that he would show it tohim. He took his k i and opened his chest, and took up the gun, | so it intotwo pieces. He then laid it down, jook- ed serious, and said, “!'regret that | ever broke tuat gun.” His conduct on this occvsion, his parting trom his wile. and his subseqnent strangeness, and fioal end, have ex- cited a cae there is something in his history yet un- discovered. He had two wutches with him when he here. One he turned ont to Mr. Rhyne for board, | and the other he gave to a“ Fireman” here, whose pame hav not been ascertained. Col.
