NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Sunday, September 12, 1847. — ——— " News from Mextco, Qureolumns to-day contain all the additional war intelligence that we have received since the receipt of our special express, but not near as much as they would:contain if the mails had not failed. Yesterday we received three Southern mails in one parcel, but they brought no later than fo the third instant from New Orleans. The papers of the fourth have not come to hand, very much to our annoyance, for we hoped to be able to publish to-day additional intelli gence of the suspension of hostilities, &c. We hope soon to lay betore our readers some further intelligence from the Capital equally as interesting as what we received by express afew days since—perhaps the terms of a treaty of peace between the two countries, which may be brought to New Orleans by the next steamship arrival from Vera Cruz. é We are now in the midst of a most important period of our history. News from Europe. i The city was thrown into some little exitement yesterday, in consequence of the report that the packet ship New World was below, with three or four days later intelligence on board. Our news collector has not yet brought us our papers; the probability is, therefore, that the New World is not below. The mercantile portion of the community are exceedingly anxious to receive further news from Europe, as in all probability they will learn by the next arrival from there, whether the potato rot has really made its appearance in Ireland or England, and also the effect of the protested bills. The Sarah Sands is in her fourteenth day, the French steamer Union in her twelfth, and the Britannia in her eighth. All of them will be due, and will probably arrive in three or four days, with the intelligence so much looked for. In the meantime there may be some arrivals of packet ships with later news than any we have received. The last packet ship that reached here, brought us dates to the eleventh of August, facts, 90, far as I have on; & you, not having #9 7< ‘nine men, ‘five women, and ‘the employ of Capt, Sutter, left what 'e cae Rta eat of eth nnow, mith the intention, of ains by the sno aoe “thle pettlenset driven to this course Ca the certain death which ted them in the mouai - They started, in « manner of speak! vanes aa. sions (one of the men baving only two oy aos . and, as you wi understand, 0m oe Aifew d A then where they were yi an See ee wards, two of the men becam Te supposed, perish struggle ne ‘a while, fas setting weaker an .

At what time they got entirely out of provisions | am unable to say; putin the midst of their suflerings a snow storm came on, which lasted three days and nights; and during the whole of that time they were without fire, and, as far as Thave understood, without food. During these three dreadful days and nights they sat huddled together in the snow, th ir heads resting upon their knees, exposed to the pitiless storm. Great God! who can imagine the sufferings of these helpless, houseless beings at that time, without food an shout fire ’—no prospect be- fore them but death, and that death the most horrible which can fall to the lot of man! After the storm ceased, they suceeeded in getting fire, and again endeavored to pursue their jeas course through the newly-fallen snow. Whether any of the party died previous to this 1 cannot say; but, if not, Heath was there hovering fearfully over them.

Let me close this tale of horror. Suffice it to say, that seven out of the sixteen reached this settlement, forty miles above me—fiye women and two men. The rest died at different times, and six-f them beeame food for the living. The two’ Indians, who had been sent there early in the season by Capt. Sutter, with provisions, were the last that died, and they likewise were eaten, with the exception of their heads. Those who escaped arrived with hardiy sufficient clothing to cover ir nakedness, their clothes being nearly burnt from their backs by ‘keeping so close to their fires, and most of them have their feet badly frozen. ‘They were one were ol month on the road, the distance trav: being only about one hundred and ten miles. sehey xeraey hese remaining in the mountains still alive by eating the may have on short allowance, bullock hi a bei revisions ae je of next month. rovisions up to the m!

Sutter, Mr. MoKinisty and myself, are doing all we can to raise men togo the assistance of those in the mountains, and ‘day id. ourselves to only a week behind those brought by the Cale- donia to Boston; and as easterly winds prevail generally at this time of the year, it is not im- probable that’ one or more of our packet ships will arrive, bringing news some days later than what we have received. We shall keep a sharp look out for them, and issue an Extra Herald immediately after we re- ceive later news, whether by steamship or packet ship. Cruise of the United States Ship Savannah. ‘The Suffering Emigrants, The U.S. ship Savannah arrived in this port on the 8th inst., after an absence of nearly four years in the Pacific ocean. She left here on the 19th of October, 1843, and since then has sailed seventy-two thousand two hundred and eighty- four miles ; and it speaks volumes in favor of the discipline on board, and the sanitary regulations adopted by the officers, that of a crew of some seven hundred men, there were only thirty deaths, two of which were caused by the enemy andtwo by accident. We have been favored with some extracts from the log book, by the officers, which we take plea- sure in laying before our readers. The following table shows the places visited, the number of days at sea, the distance sailed, and the time she remained at each port, as well as the names of the several commanders, during her long voyage :— Assrract ur THe Loo or THe U. 8.

By the 2d of February, | think about fourteen men will be able to start, which will be nearly every able-bodied man in this vicinity, and I would urge the propriety of calling a meeting of the inhabitants of Yerba Buena, and from among them endeavor to raise about twenty able bodied men to form a second party to ‘0 te their assistance, as the men who are going from flere will not be able to yo back.

Vermont Exxction.—The annexed lettet from our attentive correspondent, gives us the proba- ble result of the election held in Vermont on Tuesday, the 7th inst. :— Woopstocx. Vt., Sept 8, 1847. In the few towns heard from there is a small net whig lors on the popular vote, but a net whig gain of seven of the Representatives heard from in this county. There is no choice of Governor by the people, as has been the case in this State for some years past, That there will be a whig majority in both Senate and House, as hereto- fore, there can be no doubt, and ot course an election of whig State officers, as heretofore. ‘The whig majority on joint ballot, last year, was some rising of 30, Sporting Intelligence. Cenrreviter Course, L, 1—On Monday, Lady Suf- folk and James K. Polk, the fastest couple in the known world, contend for a proprietor’s purse of $400, and from the interest in the affair, already manifest in the sport- ing circles, we anticipate the greatest attendance at the Centreville that has been seen on a race track since the famous match between Fashion and Peytona. Every sporting man in this peony is on the gui vive, and the betting is running high. At the present writing, it ap- pears to be about even. It was reported, a few days since, that pigeons were 80 numerous in New Jersey and Long Island, in the neighborhood of New York, that their weight actually broke the limbs of the trees on which they alighted, and that chere never was a better chance for sport. No soon- er was the announcement made, than many of our citi- zens, armed and equipped, as the law directs, proceeded across the river “on dreadful deeds intent,” leaving business and all the cares of life behindthem. Away they went with sacks, bags and baskets in which tocar- the dead, but judge of their mortification in finding thst scarcely # pigeon was to be seen. Atone time fit teen of these sportsmen might be seen crossing fences and ditches in quest ofgame, but not a feather dia they see. They held a consultation, we are informed, and ar- rived at the conclusion that they were sold and done brown. City Intelligence ‘Tue Weatnen.—The thermometer at 12 o’clock M yesterday, stood as low as 63 degrees in Wall street. It stood at the same hour at the Northern Hotel, foot of Courtiandt street, at 59 degrees. ‘The day looked some- what winterish, and particularly so at this season of the ear, to “the oldest inhabitant.” We expect that the fall weather will soon eet in, and it will be welcomed in this city by all, Prant Hose Comrany, No. 28.—We had the pleasure of seeing yesterday, the new and splendid apparatus, hose, cart, &c., belonging to this excellent company, and’ we were much gratified to observe the taste displayed by the artist—in accordance with the desigh and ‘suggested “by ‘the members—inorna menting and fitting up the carriage belonging to the company.

It was no doubt tl ork of an incendiary. Axotnen Fine.—Another fire broke out on Friday night, in the jewelry store of Mr. Lowe, in Fulton street. It was subdued before much damage was done. Cre y ro Animats —T'wo German butchers, named Christian Ryder and Jacob Rule, were arrested enter: day for cruelly treating a cow. They were required to give bail for their appearance at the next Court of Oyer and Terminer. Poticre —A man named Gabriel Sprawl was sentenced to six months in the county juil for assaulting wad beat- ing his wife. He was several times up for the same offence, and has at length received his deserts Francis Madden, who was arrested on « charge of breaking open a letter and abstracting therefrom $50, was examined this porning, and it appearing that the letter was part- ly intended for bis perusal, he was discharged.

To-morrow night Mr. Collins commences! engagement, and there is every reason to believe thathe will be as successful as his great talent, his irresistible humor, deserves that he should be. He will appearintwo pieces. First as Mr. McShane in the comedy of the “ Nervous ”” and afterwards as hci 2 Malowney in the comedietta of “Teddy the Tyler.” {n each of the pieces Mr. C. will introduce a popular Irish one: We are sure the friends of this excellent comedian will come out on the evening of his first appearance, and make him feel thaf, for a certainty, he is surrounded by those who appreciate him. CHatHam Treatne.—We are pleased to learn, aa-we have no doubt the public will be, that Mr, Matiager Fletcher, of the Chatham theatre, has effected a re-en- gagement with Miss Clarke and Mr. Walcott, two of the most favorite actors on the New York stage. They will appear to-morrow evening in two pieces—first in Buck- stone’s drama of “Victorine, or the Bream of Life,’?and afterwards in the “Tompkins’ Blue.” There will be, amusements besides these pieces, for we perceive nautical drama of the “Floating Beacon, or the gian Wreckers,” will be ¥ |, and that these several pieces, Miss Deloraine and Mr. Y' perform # grand fancy dance and hornpipe. Casrie Ganven.—This fine resort for amusement will be opened this evening for a sacred concert, which will be quite attractive. The celebrated operatic oratorio, “Tl nuovo Mose,” (the new Moses,) by Rossini, witl be sung by the entire company, including Signorina Te- Seone, Henere, Rainieri, etc. To this will be added a beautiful duet executed by Luiga Vite and Pietro No- yelli. The piece is selected from Donizetti’s opera of “Linda d’Chamouniz,’’ which is itself s translation from French drama called “La Grace'de Dieu,” (the Grace of God.) With such an attraction as the singers of the ee company, this vast amphitheatre will be crowded. Py Patmo’s Ovrena Mouse.—There was no performance at Palmo’s last evening, much to the disappointment of many of the admirers of the Ravels; but to-morrow there will be g series of amusements, which we have no doubt will attract one of the largest houses of the sea- son. Gabriel will appear in the farce entitled “ The Three-faced Frenchman’? in our language, in which he forms five characters, The dance de corde will fol- , and the laughable pantomime will be the conclud- ing piece. There will also be several amusing dances performed. Tux Pepee Orena Troure.—The Pedee opera troupe are so well pleased with the success they received last week, that they have decided upon remaining here a short time longer, and will perform every evening next snot tthe Apollo Rooms, in Broadway, Om londey evening they promise to entertain in the best style who may attend. Orentne or THe Ctncus.—The equestrian season will commence, on Monday evening, by the opening of the Bowery Amphitheatre, under the management of John Tryon, who has done more to elevate this species of amusement than many of his contemporaries. The house has been thoroughly repaired and besutified, and will comfortably seat 2000 persons.

Socrery Linrany.—Signor Blitz commences a series of entertainments here on Monday evening next. His necromantie illusions appear almost incredible; his ra- pidity of motion and imperceptibility of removing any thing to where he wishes, cannot be detected by the eye, and appears improbable to the mind, We are in- formed he will exhibit a variety of new matters in the black art. He isan excellent ventriloquist, holding con- vereation with a variety of imaginary objects; and his imitations of birds, insects, kc., are very amusing. Mecnanics’ Hatt —Yankee Hill and Dr. Valentine will give comic entertainments at Mechanics’ Hall, Broadway, every evening this week, commencing to. morrow evening. Between Yankee stories, curious speeches, and comic delineations, a very pleasant even- ing can be enjoyed at the above Hall. Barney Wittiams.—This young and popular Irish comedian leaves for the West on Monday. He is en- guged at Rochester, Albany, and Buffalo, He will re- turn and play a farewell engagement here, after which he will proceed to Pittsburg, Cincinnati, and New Or- leans, where he last year acquired such theatrical fame Indeed. his rich brogue and continual flow of good bu- mor will always create for him a host of friends. We wish him every success.

Police Intelligence: Haportant Arrest of Counterfeiters.—Some few months ago, officer Norris, one of the chief's aids, arrest- ed in this elty aman by the name of Trueman F. Young, on a charge of passing counterfeit money upon various storekeepers, and indictments were found thereon, but he was subsequently admitted to bail by Judge Kd: mond, and liberated from prison, since which time he has eon following up his old business in Boston, where, on Thursday last, he was detected in passing another batch of new counterfeit notes on the eastern hanks, amounting to near $100, However, previous to hisarrest, officer Norris was at Boston, and’ “ spotted” Young to the marshal, Mr. Francis Tookey, who kept his eye on all Young's’ movements, which resulted in his being caught in the act of passing the spurious money; and & large quantity ‘having been found on his person, Young became alarmed, and finding himself foul, told who his confederates were in New York, consequently upon this information Mr. Tookey started for this city, arriving on Friday last, made known his business to the chief of police and enquired for officer Norris, but be being ab- sent on business, the chief despatched officers [eed and Van Giser, with Mr, Tookey to make the ereate. “They proceeded forthwith to Williamsburgh When @ short distanes from the ferry they came to a house occupied by Erastus Bonney, whom ‘they found up to his elbows in business, altering and manuf.cturing counterfeit bank bills.

The new Presbyterian church in Thirteenth street, be- tween the sixth and seventh avenues, was dedicated to the service of God last Sunday morning. The General Convention of the Episcopal Church which meets triennially in the month of October, is composed of the House of Bishops, consisting of all the diocesan and missionary Bishops in the United States, and of the House of Clerical and Lay Deputies, consist: ing ef four clergymen and four laymen from each diocese. It legislates for the American church within the limits of the United States, but can make no alteration in the constitution, or in the liturgy and offices of the church, unless the same has been adopted in one convention, and submitted to all the dioceses, and afterwards adopt- ed in another convention. The next Convention meets in New York on the first Wednesday in October, 1847.

Uniren States Disraict Court—Before Judg# Betts—The United States vs. The Bark Chancellor, gc —This caso was remumed yesterday morning, and three witnesses examined, amongst whom were Commander Bell, of the Yorktown, from whose testimony we make the following extract:—" I sailed in October, 1844; was Commander of the ship Yorktown, and returned in 1846; [ was employed the whole time in the suppression of the etrade. 1 am acquainted withthe manner in whieh the trade is carried on on the coast of Africa; some time in December, 1845, I captured the brig‘‘Pons,”’ of Phila- delphia, with eight hundred and ninety-seven slaves on board. ‘The usual course for the persons engaged in it, is to establish themselves at one point on the coas where the slaves can be obtained and conveniently s! ped; a treaty is then made with a chief, who has t risdiction of that of the country, for permission to build barracoons, for which he is given a supply of arms and ammunition, which gives him an advantage, ani renders him more formidable than the petty kings of the vicinity, When they make war they attack the villages and destroy all the old men and women, and generally the children under four or six years of age, the others are brought down and placed in the barracoons. This course is pursued on some part of the coast, on other parts a different courss is pursued. The negroes are brought from @ distance in the interior. On the southern coast in particular, they are used as beasts of burden of the sountey j they bring down gum copal, ebony, ivory, kc, which are sold to honest traders, and the negroes themselves placed in the batracoons and sold to the slave dealers. Along that part of the coast, near Gallenos, Cape Mount, and New (Sisters, they are sent on board ship handcuffed; on other parts of the coast they are put on board ship without irons. ‘Those on board the Pons were not ironed. ‘They are generally taken from the baracoons to hip in large canoes, managed by Kroomen. The canoes will carry 50 or 60 Has heard that a cargo of slaves was shipped at Cape Mount Gallenos. The Pons was a fair trader at 9 o'clock in the morning, and at 8 o’clock the same evening sailed with a cargo of slaves, At the slave stations they have ® great many men employed, so that the whole character of the vessel ean be changed in a few hours. Formerly barracoons wore within two or three miles of most of the rivers; but since the British have burnt down some of the sta- tions, they are further in the interior. That part of the coast,north and south of Gallenos and Cape Mount, and north and south eastward of Monrovia, are the ts particularly watched, because they are the points From which tho slave trade is carried on. In December, 1844, the bark Atalanta sailed from Cape Mount with a cargo of four hundred sla The Atalanta was for a long time known as an honest trader on the coast, and was considered above suspicion, A few days before she sailed she was boarded by a British man.of-war, and her pers inspected, after which she anchored at Cape Mount, took in the slaves, and soon after passed under of the British man-of-war’s guns, who had a before allowed her to pass as the honest trader It was soon after ascertained ti e was sold to Capt Carnot. A slave deck is made ot ir; it can be lai in a few hours; no planing or grooving is necessar; may be laid without saw or hammer. hile in the racoons the slaves are subsisted on rice; after they shipped, a pound of rice and # pint of water are allowed eac per day.

But, poor men, they have to return,as did Ousley, Def: fendis, amd Hood, and tell their respective govern- ments that they could do nothing with him; that he was determined to have his rights. On their arrival here they would not have anything to do with Oribe, looking upon him as the general of Rosas, but since Rosas has sent them about thelr business, they have opened s correspondence with Oribe, and wished to arrange an amnesty for six months; but | am told he informed them he did not wish to have anything te do with them—that they were in a business they knew ut, and had nothing to do with.

We havea file of the Observer and Gazette, pabtiones ugust. m the at Belize, Honduras, to the 14th of A ofthe latest date we extract the following intel- qi nce touching Guatemala. Apprehensions have been felt in some quarters touchi: interference of this new Republic in the war with Mexico. There is nothing in the following to justify fears : We have received letters and papers from Guatemala to the 28th ult. inclusive. We find in the Gazette of the 10th, the following in relation to the decree of the 21st March. On the 25th of June there were concluded and signed the treaties of friendship, commerce and naviga- tion with Great Britain and Hanseatic cities of Lu- bec, Bremen, and viele dl and by them the Republic temala is recognized as a sovereign and indepen- dent nation. This step realizes already in part the ceria views which the government had in promulgating solemn revolu- tion of that memorable dey, as one of the principal mo- tives for mritieg, on that measure was to acquire the repeat of entering into relations with fo: nations, to affiance them by means of treaties. There will follow, and we hope will be quickly concluded, that which is resirgr nt day France. The good result of this affair, without doubt, is owing to the favorable disposi- tions of the diplomatic agents, their adhesion to t! country, and ane sired Sn agp yeerecen Ci Rica is also bmeraptsaei | “go alone,” as parate and independent republic; her Constituti beg Pir jed as far back as the first of May. Belieze Paper ives a favorable account of the Republic and her lent, Senor Castro. We make an extract from the Observer and Gazette, with a slight verbal correction: ‘The idea of the administration of Costa Rica already appears sufficiently clear—that of eleva' it to the rank te which its favorable circumstances call it, an idea which we cannot do less than applaud as the most proper, and that which the Precarious position in which states of the ancient Republic of Central America have found themselves since the dissolution of the federal compact, most Rel Saigo demands. For the rest, the treaties have nothing onerous in has been endeavored to avoid in them what might clash with unenlightened opinions or preju- dices. In conformity with modern policy, they are justed according to the principles of reciprocity, and to equality and justice; without any particular conc sions or exemptions, because the Government on these matters observes a principle neither to gratit nor ask privileges, The results begin to confirm that the object of the said decree of March is an irrevosable and consum- mated act—that it may bring to our beloved haere the degree of prosperity and dizement whic! we should desire for it,and to which it is called by its many and varied elements, as yet soarcely seen and felt, but which, with time and order. an economical and considerate administration will know how to develope. Movements of the People. The anniversary of the battle and victory of Monte- rey, is to be celebrated on the 24th inst. at Harrisburg, Pa, at whioh time and place a State meeting is called for the purpose of bringing out an interchange of senti- ment upon the subject of the nomination and election of Gen. Taylor to the presidency in 1848, and for the adop- tion of such measures ass! tend towards vhe accom- plishment of thatend. * At the meeting of the delegates to the Illinois State Constitutional Convention, favorable to the movement of electing Gen. Taylor as our next President, (which meeting, it will be recollected, was held at Springfield ov the evening of the 30th ult) Col. E. Baker, late a member of Congress trom Illinois, and more recently well known as commanding a regiment of Illinois yolun- teers in Mexico, “ addressed the meeting, in one of those soul-stirring speeches for which hi remarkable. He proceeded in fpvais, sensible, narrative style, to hold up, in bold relief, the strong points of character ef General Taylor, and gave reason heaped upon reason why the people, irrespective of party. should support him for Pre- sident. The speaker happily contrasted the capabili- ties and glorious deeds of Taylor, with those of other Generals, and showed him as not only @ great military captain, but also a great and good man—not only caps- ble of fighting great battles, but fitted to wear the civic wreath. He was for Taylor, because great occasions call for great men to guide the helm of State, when mere party considerations should be lost sight of—should be merged in the patriotic determination to stand by, and pe the great interests of the country. We want, said he, a man for President who will calm the violence of party, and advance the public goou--the peace, pros- perity and happiness of the people of this great nation if Gen, Taylor wa3 entirely opposed to him, he would prefer him to any good sort of a second-rate man with whom he entirely concurred. If, said he, we elect Tay- lor, we elect aman whose most prominent fault is bis wilful, perverse, persevering obstinacy in doing right, and in promoting justice.
