INCKEN, ' ling, and the application BOYD & H LATEST FROM THE WAR QUARTER. ‘Three vessels have arrived at New Orleans, says the Picayune; of the 13th inst., from Vera Cruz, which left thereafter the McKim, viz: the ship Zenobia, Captain Kinney, the ship Atiss, Capt. Homans, and’ the bark le is, Capt. Gerard. They all made quick passages to 6 By th arrivals the Picayune has accounts from Vera Cruz to the 6th inst., three days after the McKim sailed. There had been no further arrivals from the army of Gen. Scott or the city of Mexico, so far as we can learn. Gen. Pearce had not left Vera Cruz with his detach- ment of troops. It was expected that he would do so in two or three days. The steamship Galveston had been sent up to Tampi- co to bring aload of mules. Capt. Kinney, of the Ze- nobia, reports that she arrived at Vera Cruz on the morning of the 6ch inst. ‘The frigate Potomac had sailed for the United States. The steam frigate Mississippi was at Sacrificios, Capt. Kinney also furnishes the Picayune with the fol- lowing items of ship new ‘The ships A: nd and Peter Hattrick were dischar; ing, and would the former in about fifteen and the latter in twenty day: ship Agnes would shortly 7 commence discharging, and sail in about twenty-five days. The ship Mederusch and bark Henry Harbeck, were waiting their turn to discharge. The bark Ante- lope was discharging, and would leave soon. Several small vessels, on Government account, were waiting orders. ‘The Picayune’s files of papers from the city of Mexi- 0, by way of Vora Crux, come down to the 29th of June. By way of Tampico, too, we have files from the capital, but not later than the 16th. Our attention was first given to discover something about the American prisoners in Mexico. The follow- ing paragraph is the only thing upon the subject we ot find. Jt is sufficiently indefinite, but shows that the prisoners had left the capital. It is from El Republica- no of the 27th ult, Huxivtia.—The 180 Yankee prisoners of war whom the Government sent by this route, have been detained at the above named town, and we learn that General Grar; had not the necessary means of providing them with food. ‘The above scanty paragraph is all the intelligence we can find as to thelr departure from the capital. A summons for Congress to assemble, we find in almost every paper wo open. | Wo presume it is to take into consideration Mr. Buchanan's letter, announcing Mr. ‘Trist’s appointment. It is certain that no quorum had been assembled up to the 29th ult, The Republicano publishes daily the list of members present and absent. ‘They have several times come Very near a quorum, and there is doubtless a sufficient number of members in the city to form one. Seventy-one are required—sixty-six wore'present on the 25th ult. ‘The papersof the city seemed to think that the Amer- ican army would move from Puebla about the 2d of June. ‘They say not word in their later numbers of their own means of defence, or indeed of their own army. In this particular, they show perfect acquiescence to the wishes of Santa Anna. We see no allusion in the papers to the statement that Gen, Scott had given the government to the 30th ult. to consider Mr. Buchanan's letter before pushing om to the capital. The Republicano says that our army is too in- significant to advance, but hopes that it is true that Gen. Scott intends doing s0, as it will afford a good test of the fidelity of those Mexicans who have pledged themselves to defend the capital till death. ‘This reads very much like a sneer at Santa Anna, and other Mexican officers. Arrests of editors are making for maintaining the liber- ty of the press. On the 26th ult., rumors which the Republicano calls very alarming, were in circulation at the capital. It was said that the Mexican government had acceded to the mediation of England; that the Kngiish Secretary of Legation had been down to Puebla, and returned on the 24th; that the object of his visit was to negotiate with Gen. Scott a treaty of peace; that the terms agreed on between them would be a surrender of the Californias to the Americans, the reoognition of the independence of Texas, and the fone es, Nahm of the line of 36 de- grees, as the northern boundary between the United States and Mexico. (onis line would give Santa Fe and over a third of New Mexico to the United States.) The Republicano has no faith in theve rumors, It denounces them as false, but at the same time in such a manner as to betray the fear that the rumors aretrue. ‘The ex- istence of these rumors confirms the information that Mr,Buchanan’s letter was transmitted through the Eng- lish embassy. The same considerations may lead the reader to attach some faith to the terms of treaty which are enumerated above. The lish Secretary re- turned to Mexico on the 24th, and Mr. Buchanan’s let- ter was published on the 26th, an the same time these rumors obtained currency. Charges are made against certain parties, of smug- gling large quantities of bullion from the capital D. Pedro Prebot, a wealthy Mexican merchant in Cor- dova, is denounced for carrying on an extensive and pro- fitable commerce by furnishing supplies to Gen. Scott. A party of nine Americans had been captured at Tlax- ala, with a Mexican guide. It was thought the latter would be shot. On the 17th ofJune, Gen. D. Ignacio Moro y Villamil and D. Jose Maria Oztega,left San Louis for the city of Mexico, the former to superintend the fortifications of Mexico, and the latter to conduct the trial of Arista, ‘The government was issuing commissions to a large number of officers who distinguished themselves at An- gostura—(our Buena Vista.) They are commissions for advanced grades. Gen. Rincon has made his peace with Santa Anna, and has been restored to his former position, A letter from Mazatlan, dated June 9, speaks of tlie bloekade as being rigidly maintained by the Cyanne, the razee Independence, and a small vessel culled the Eliza. ‘The Mexican troops stationed at Matehuala were suf- fering excessively from sickness. Some of the new cannon recently cast have been tried and gave great satisfaction. The Rebudlicano demands that Gen. Arista be releas- ed from the fortress of Acapulco, and condemns Santa Anna for confiming him without trial. On the 14th, Santa Anna released all prisoners eonfin- ed for pelitical offences. Santa Anna had given a grand banquet on his birth day, the 13th of June, and is bitterly condemned for such ill-timed rejoicing. The Republicano gives the particulars of the election of President, by which it seems there were eight candi- dates, Gen. Almonte, General Herrera, Santa Anna, Senor Angel Trias, Senor Ocampo, Senor Anaya, Senor Eloriago, and Senor Lafrugua. Jalisco, Coahuila, Vera Cruz, Tabasco, Yucatan, New Leon, California, and New Mexico, did not vote. There is, too, a dispute about the vote of Oajaco, a revolution having occurred there since the vote was given to Gen, Herera, and the new Legislature voted for Santa Anna. ‘The Bist article of the constitution provides that, to make anelection valid, three-fourths of the States enti- tled to a vote, must vote. As there were twenty-three States entitled to a vote at the late election, and only fifteen votes cast, being less than three-fourths, the elec- tion has failed, Now, how can the electors proceed to elect, says the Republicano, for having concluded its mission of forming a constitution, and sworn to the fun- damental code, it has no power left to exempt itself from the operation of the law. ‘The vote stands, as far as heard from, more in favor of Gen. Almonte than Cen. Herrera. ‘The former has the vote of four States, and the latter of only three. The Sun of Anahuac, » Spanish paper published at Vera Cruz, says :— “Even now, the Mexican press are not unanimously in favor of peace, for the Republicano of the 28th inst., the latest journal that has come to hand, contains an editorial which still sustains the policy of war. ‘There are also several paragraphs in that sheet, which describe G my as being in a most disadvantageous successful attack on the capital. ‘was believed, according to a resolution adopted at a council of war, would make an advance movement on the 28th inst.; but would not pass Rio Frio until he had been further reinforced. ‘This, how- ever, was only the impression at the capital,where it was not known that reinforcements were continually arriving and setting out from various points to swell the mass of the army. There is little to interest in the papers juat received, apart from the notices in reference to the war. The government had issued a decree, declaring all merchan- diso proceeding to the interior, from the line occupied by the North American forces, subjeot to capture and confiscation as booty to the troops.

At the of the consul’s house my attention was very much attracted by the facilities with which an enemy of ordinary capacity could approach directly to the plaza without fear of detection, as no sentries could perceive them, and followed the path, seeking the marks of thote persons who fired on the sentrios the night pre- vious. We had sufficient evidence that this path had been used by the Mexicans. We tracked them to a house not a musket shot from the square, where they had evidentl; their horses, which we sup- posed to have been twelve or fourteen, by the ‘This path brought us into the main street ; and I was about to return to the plaza, when muskets were fired by an officer and three men, whom I had sent in advance to give the alarm. if necessary. I went to the spot, and found that they had fired on the mounted piequet guard of the Mexicans, who Immedi- ately retreated. Here, it appears, the Mexicans had rendezvoused for some days, judging from their fires being still lighted, and the marks of soldiers ; aud after reconnoitring the place, | marehed about again, with the intention of returning to the plaza, not thinking it pru- dent to go any farther. We had not returned twenty yatds before we were attacked in the rear by w large ody ofmen—I should say over a hundred, judging from their heavy fire—and | ordered the me ate ly to attack them, which they did with great spirit, and followed them up from bush to bush, and house to house. At this time I had with me only twenty men and four officers; but our carbines, consisting of twenty-five men, came up when they heard the firing, and took position on the right side of the road, where they kept u a galling fire upon every man who showed himself, unt! the fire of the Mexicans ceased entirely, and they had left their position. ‘The damage we did the enemy I am unable to state, as I only saw two men fall myself. Not knowing what force the enemy might be in, | made no search, but marched my men into tows, bringing in the wounded—one severely hurt, and one other sligatly. ‘These are the facts connected with the case, No men could have behaved better than the officers and seamen, while under a heavy fire and opposed to an invisible enemy who was shooting at them from every bush. They showed an admirable adaptation to this species of fight- ing; and but for the imprudence of one or two, we should not have had a man hurt. Much to my surprise, the Mexicans behaved with spi- rit, and yielded thelr ground apparently with great reluc- tance. ‘This convinces mo that they were in much greater force than I had at first estimated. I do not think any danger whatever is to be appre- hended from an attack ‘on the town from the class of mon we encountered. They were what is termed regu- lars, but their firing was so bad that it was completely thrown away. I have since learned that they retreated that night to the nearest village.

We understand, from an intelligent officer of the Navy Department, that spontaneous combustion is no stranger to the English coal, and that the most ef- ficient remedy for those cases is to shift the coal fre- quently in the bunkers, and to introduce steam-pipes into the body of the coal—the steam promptly abating the heat and extinguishing the flame. ‘This expedient has been proposed by an English engineer, and approved by the admiralty.

The health ot the squadron was good. ‘The Washington left Anton Lizar- do on the evening of the 4th instant. We are indebted also to Lieut. Rogers for the follow- ing account ot a fire on board the steamship Mississippi: On the night of the dd July, about 10 o'clock, shertly after the officers and crew of the Mississippi had turned in, an alarm was heard from the engine-room, from one of the engineers, calling earnestly to tne firemen to bring buckets of water. The order had shortly before heen given to have steam at daylight, and the fires had just been kindied. Smoke was at the same time seen to rise from the neighborhood of the steam chimney, and a smell of burning pine wood was perceptible throughout ¢ ship. The commodore immediately gave the order to beat to quarters, and proceeded with Lieut, Com. Sidney Smith Lee to the engine room, to ascertain the scene and cause of the fire, The officers and crew promptly repaired, by divisions, to their stations for extinguish: ing the fire. Preparations were at oncemade for flood ing the magazine, and lines of men formed to pass wa- ter in buckets from the gangway and port to the deck above the boilers, from whieh thie smoke was teria ‘The getting up of steam was accelerated to command the powerful aid of the engine in pumping water when it might be needed, and thus make fire fight fire. The pumps and fire engine, which @ day or two before had on, with their hose, examined and found in order, were quickly rigged, and streams of water poured in the di- rection of thesmoke. It was the conjecture of the engi- neers that the felt above the boilers was on fire, and wus igniting the deck above it. The deck above the boilers was promptly scuttled, and the water directed through the holes thus mad The smoke and smell of turpentine still continued to increase in the engine-room, rendering the atmoxphere almost too suffocating for endurance. Meantime, the uncertainty that existed as to the cause and location of the fire, evidently not at the point from which the smoke and smell proceeded, cecasioned the officers to visit Fg part of the ship, and feel carefully with the hand for the place of greatest heat, ‘This, at last, was discovered to be in the starboard coal bunker, amidships, the inner side of which was heated intensely, ‘48 was in 4 leas degree the woodwork in imme- diate contact with it, About the samo time, on lifting the plates over the manholes in the rpar deck, by order of the commodore—who, from the first, had conjeetured that the coai-bunker was the real soone of the fire smoke was found to issue from the manhole in the star. board waist, nearest the part of the coal-bunker which Albany, Geérman- ured down through the manhole, and through pouttl ut in the deck above the point of greatest heat, and t! ffocating smoke, heat, and odor in the engine- room were found to diminish sensibly. It was now known that the fire could have been occa- sioned by ne other cause than spontaneous combustion in the coal bunker. The slide er the shoot below, on the opening of which the coal rushed out into the fire room, was carefully closed ; and no possibility existed of fire having been intentionally communicated by an ill- designing person, had there had been such in the ship. The coal bunker being thoroughly flooded. the heat and smoke had so far disappeared, that at 12 o’clock the retreat was beat, and one watch left to remove the heated coal, and provide for the safety of the ship. Wi the coal was all discharged, a beam which ran through it was found charred to the depth of half an inch, having the appearance of having been exposed not merely to an immense heat, but to flames; and the deck above it was likewise charred in the same manner for a space of ten fect. On the following night a growing heat was discovered in the larboard midship bunker, and in the adjoining wood work. One watch of the crew was turned out, and the removal of the coal commenced. In getting out the coal, the part of it was reached where the process of ignition was going on. Lumps of coal were taken out sufficiently hot to be painful to touch, and particles had the appearance of cinders. The presence of sulphur in unusual quantities in this coal,was apparent to sight and smell. Nothing could be finer than the seni of order and discipline, and high moral courage exhibited by every man and boy in the Mississippi, throughout the appalling scene, Atonetime the heat and smoke in the engine room were perceptibly increasing, in defiance of the ef- forts made to arrest the progress of the fire, which was expected every moment to break out in flames still more unconquerable, Yet in this ship, loaded with powder and shells filled and fuzed, nothing was seen but order, subordination, and a universal effort of each to perform, with zeal, his allotted duty. There was no noise, no cenfusion, no unnecessary orders. Thoso that were necessary were given with calmness, and in the ordinary tone of com- mand, Though several foreign vessels-of-war were near the Mississippl, and the beat to quarters, the rapid and re- sounding stroke of the pumps, and the smoke issuing from the engine room must have been perceptible to the surrounding shipping, yet so evident was the capacity of the ship, for the present at least, to take care of herself, that the compliment was paid her of tendering no offer of assistance, though assistance would have doubtless been-cheerfully rendered had the emergency been more critical. The officers and crew of the Mississi; pi have frequent- ly of late been under the fire of the enemy; but the com- posure with which they performed their duty bears no comparison to the moral sublimity of their bearing in the presence of this fur more appalling enemy. ‘This composure was especially meritorious in the Com- modore and his acting captain, who, having in other re- spects the same stake with the officers and crew, had be- sides to bear the awful responsibility to the service and country of the threatened loss by fire of the second and last of those magnificent steamers, which, though built seven yours ago ‘have not since in any country been sur- passed, if they have been equalled. ‘This notice is published with the motive of putting those who sail steamers on their guard against one of the dangers that menace them from unsafe fuel, and at the same time of relieving apy anxiety that be felt among those having friends on board the Mississippi, at any exaggerated account they may have of the fire on board of her. Tue Inpian Country.—We have seen in our exchanges, and have had sent to us, several ac- counts of Indian disturbances on and beyond our wei ern frontier, representing some of the tribes to be in a very excited condition, committing depredations upon our own citizens,and acts of hostility against each other, which may lead to a general Indian war.

We understand that it is no unusual circumstance for interested persons on (he frontier, great- ly to magnify the slightest disturbance among our Indian population, for the purpose of inducing the government to call out troops, so that they may benefit by the ex- penditures to which stich a measure gives rise. ‘There have, it is true, been collisions between hunting or other | parties of different tribes. Some of the Sioux, who are | and daring people, divided into separate bands | ered over an immense extent of country, have made attacks upon parties of the Omahas, Ottoes, and Winnebagoes; the Cumanches upon the Pawnees; and some of the latter, a short time since, attacked a party of emigrants'en route for Oregon, and robbed them of some of their oxen, These occurrences were far out beyond the line of our military posts, and were such as no human pre- selence could have anticipated, ‘The tribes betwoen parties of which the collisions took place, have for along time been quiet, and apparently well disposed towards each other, as is probably now the case with the great body of them. ‘The attacks were doubtiess not preme- ditated, but were accidental, Arising out of the sudden meeting of the parties, und their instinctive and natu- ral love of enterprise and war. Measures have boen taken to obtain peaceable posgession of the ringleaders among the Sioux in the outrages committed by them, and to induce them to make reparation to the tribes they have injured. In order to offeet this object, their annuities in money, provisions, and goods, will be with- held from them by the government, which is a measure that always produces the strongest effect upon an Indian tribe, As with civilized communities, the stoppage of their supplies rarely fails to bring them to,terus. But should they refuse to give up the guilty parties for such punishment as it may be found they merit, and as hos tages for theit future good behavior, the demand for them will be backed by am adequate military force, which has been ordered into their country for that pur. ose, should its employment therefor become necessary. ‘rom the last accounts received, there appeared, how- no probability of their committing any farther ‘of hostility. ‘The route to Oregon is through the country south of the Platte river, which is oceupied by the greater portion of the Pawnve Indians, who are « wild, lawless, and somewhat roving people. ‘In addition to the attack upon the party of emigrants referred to, it is supposed, from the fact of their having a considerable number of mules in their possession, that they have also been concerned in some of those upon our trains between Missouri and Santa Fe. These mules they have, however, recently delivered up, on the demand of a person sent for the pur- se by the commanding officer at Fort Leavenworth. — by treaty stipulation, they surrendered to the United States all their country south of the Platte, and agreed to’remoye north of that river; and the commanding officer of the troops which, it is expected, are by this time on the march to establish the first post on the Ore- gon route, (which will be where that route strikes the Platte,) has been instructed to break up their villages south, and compel them to remove and to remain north of that river, He is also to obtain the principal persons guilty of th k which has been mentioned, for pro- per punishment, and to be held as hostages for the fu- ture good behavior of the tribe. ‘They are the only In- dians this side of the Rocky mountains, with the excep- tion of the roving Cumanches—those Bedouins of our far western prairies—likely to molest our citizens emi- grating to Oregon; and when they shall have been driven north of the Platte, and confined there, and the militar osts contemplated on the route to that territory shail fave been established, which will soon be the case, it is believed that emigrants may go forward with entire safety. An officer of rank and experienve has been spe- cially charged with the protection and quiet of the fro: tler. He has already a respectable force under his com mand, and has authority to call for more, should it be necessary, Every effort will be made to confine the dif: ferent tribes as much as possible within the limits of their own country, and to prevent their molesting our citizens, whether emigrants or others; and from the zeal, ability, and experience, particularly in Indian uf- fairs, of the officer referred to, the most sanguine expec- tations are entertained that nothing will occur to inter- rupt, at all seriously, the peace of our frontier, or to jeopard the safety of our citizens emigrating west of the Rocky mountains.— Washington Union, July 12, Union of THe Pactrtc anp tHR ATLANTIC.— We are informed that agreat, company for uniting the two oceans by the lake of Nicaragua, is on the eve of being definitively constituted in Belgium. ‘The recent importance which the commerce of Polinesi has acquired, and the discovery ofa rich mine of stone coal on the Coast of California, united to the increasing relations with Cnina and the States of the Western Const of Americn, give to this enterprise a character of ality and great interest to the commercial world. ve, following article, translated trom the Official Gazette, refers to the present position of Belgium with jo of Guatemala: tie Rep Guatemala —The contract to populate our Eastern Coasts entered into with the Company of Colonization which has resided in Brussels, necessarily opened intercourse between the former and the latter try, which cannot otherwise than be useful to thet d which it is daily expected will draw tighter the feeling of friendship, ala become more ex- tensive, as it will comprise other objects of mutual in terest and reciprocal profit. ‘The company unfortunately has not been able to dis- pose of funds, or to establish the credit upon which it reckoned in its first calculation,and at present it searce- lypexiats, But the Relgic Government shows itself isposed to adopt measures which shall indirectly favour tho enterprise of populating our coasts, beoause it will be the means of augmenting their expor sumption of theit manufactures here ‘To promote these arrangements, Nir.
