As to sidency, the subiect is scarcely mentioned, exoept in the pa; ere, and labored editorials scarcely commend au noment’s notice. The democrats have dropped ail sheir candidates but one for the sheriffalty, whiist the whigs have got three on the track, meking the election of Mr. Cloud, the demoeratic candiiute, a matter of certainty. Thus the whize, wl en they have a chance of success, throw it awny through the pertinacity of the office grabbers, who ought ull to be thrown aside and a new man brought forth. ‘ The contest for the mayoralty will probably be between Mr. Levering as the whig candidate, and Geneial Stinebury as the democratic candi- date—the dete:mination being to throw General Davies out of the public pasture for the present, end give him the custom house when General Cass is clected.

In our report of yesterday's proceedings, we described what took place’on a call of the House, and men - tioned a few of the excuses (such as oolic, hunger and thirst.) on the strength of which it was sought to ex- cuse members for non-attendance upon the proceed- ings. Towards the adjournment, the sergeant-at- arms was dieected to bring in the remainder of the ab- sentees this morning. The Sreaxen—Acoording to the order of the House, the sergeant-at-arms, (who was standing at his right,) reports in eustody fifty-two gentlemen, who were ab- sent yesterday. Mr. Hupsoy immediately rose to a privileged ques- tion. He said: It is well-known that, by a vote of the House, last evening, the sergeant-at-arms was directed to bring the absentees into the hall this morning. I have witnessed several of those calls of the House, and my obrervation has always confirmed me in tho belief that the arrests, generally, have fallen on the young members, The Srraxsn (interrupting Mr. Hudson)—Tho gon- tleman must state his motion before he makes his speech. (Ha! ha! ba! Mr. Hvupsox—I was about to state preliminaries. I meve to reconsider the vote. ‘The Srraxen—The chair decides the motion out of order. The House directed the sergeant-at-arms to ar- rest the absentees, and the order has been executed. Mr Hupsox—I move, then, to dispense with all fur- ther proceedings in the call. [‘ No,” no,” “agroed."] he Sreaxen—That is in order. Mr. Hovstox—I wish to state that, from my observa- tions, I have found the object of a call of the House has always been entirely abortive, and has operated with great injustice. Many gentlemen, who were ab- arequisition from the Governor of New York.— From the appearance of the prisoner, and accord- ing to his own account of himself, he is but 19 | ears of age. He has auburn hair, light complex- | Tee, lively eyes, but one is rather smaller than the other. There is nothing in his manner or appear- | ance te lead one to unfavorable impressions, and | he converces intelligently,and replies to questions as | to hia former life and wanderings without the least hesitation. He continues to assert that the organ | had been parchased by him in Glaegow, while Ni- cole Neicci. who claims it as his, declares that it was made in Brooklyn by his order. THIRTIETH CONGRESS. FIRST SESSION. Wasuixctox, July 14, 1848. As incident to the business of the morniug nour, tle OFFICIAL REPORTER OF THE SENATE. ares propoesd as a subject for examination, as fol- ows : Mr. Nits moved that the committee on the con- tingent expenses of the Senate inquire whether the proceedings and debates of the Senate have been faithfully executed according to contract, and if not, why not,and whether the arrangement answers the fir which it was intended, and, if necessary, report some measure to remedy the evil. Mr. Nices- The resolution explained itself, sir. I don’t know what the contract was exactly. I was at the time, like the Senator from Missouri, (Col. Benton) entirely opposed to this arrangement. { did not then, and bave not since. given attention to the terms of the contract; but | think it requires that the reports shall be laid on our tables the following day. Whether this was done or not the Senate are well informed. There are no of avy value whatever, of the Senate to be feund now in the morning papers. Looking at one of the city papers of this morning, sir, 1 find that it con- teins eleven columns of the proceedings of the House sent from the city, attending to private business, have escaped the operation of the call altogether. Some of the older members responded to the call, and then ab- sented themselves. The youngest members and man of the most attentive. are generally the first to suf- fer, and are the principal example. I wish all further proceedings to be dispensed with, This motion. if it prevail. I will follow by another, that the fines imposed yesterday be remitted. We had better devote our time to the discharge of the public business, than to spend our time in matters which must end unjustly and un- equally. VERDANT MEMBERS AND OLD SINNERS. Mr. Sims, of 8. C.—I sympathise with the young members as sincerely as the gentleman from Massachu- setts. We have some old sinners here, such as the gentleman from Pennsylvania ae C.J. Ingersoll), and my friend from the Barnwell district (or. Rhett A for whom I am deeply concerned They are very far from being youngsters. (Ha! ha! ha!) We have men who are free to run to the door and make their escape. It is a very strange kind of justice to bring the young ones to a mock trial, and permit the old ones, who come in this morning, to be passed ever. Mr. Lanum was understood to say—Some of us are not #0 verdant as the gentleman supposes. We are al- ‘ways ready to mect every responsibility. When some of us left,the hall yesterday, we met older members, who advised us to keep away, and slip in here this morning. (Ha! ha! ha ') Mr. Sims—Then they seem not to be so verdant as I supposed, (Renewed Toughter ) ir. Borts—I move the previous question. The Srraxen, (with great calmness)—Tho gentle- man from Virginia cannot make the motion. Mr. Botts, Coaspne ed fad ? The Srraxen—He is in the custody of the sergeant- tare Ha! ha! ha! ha. ‘a! long and very joud. Mr. Lixcoux—I beliey® that I am still a member of the House ; I move the previous question. There was a second. Mr. Wentwortn—lI call for the yeas and nays on mee, nd one half column of the Senate, and 0 value whatever. To all real practical in- tents and purpores, the debates and proceedings of the Semate are suppressed. We might as well sit with olosed doors. Our official reports may be useful to posterity. interesting to the antiquarian, and of some aloe, perbaps,to the historian; but for all presen purposes, they areabsolutely null and void. The ses- sion is now nearly closed, and the public have been kep¢ almost carefully in ignorance of what we have been doing. Mr. Crartow hoped the resolution would lie over till te-morrow. Mr. Foote cbjected to the resolution, because it im- lied a want of faithfulness by the reporter of the to the obigations of his contract. The delay in og) sad ot the debates was attributable to Sena- tors meeives, in revising id re-revising their specohes ... ‘he resolution lies 0 NCH MINTS AT NEW YORK AND CHARLESTON, jufactory of United States coins in the ork. read through. bil was Mr. Dickinson briefly explained the bill. It was the game as that introduced by his oolleague two years ago, and similar to that which passed the House at the last sersion. Mr. Burien moved to amend by inserting a clause for the establirhment of a branch mint, also at Charles- ton, in South Carolina. Mr. Bavorx oppored the bill—the mint at New York aad the minut at Charleston. He argued that there was no necessity for either. To be sure, the erection of another aplendid edifice. like the Custom House in ‘the’city of New York, would be a desirable addition to the olty, as every thing is which contributes to its grace, beauty «nd attractiveness, But all such con- @iderations weigh but little in any great measure of public policy. Neither the necessities of the treasury , nor of exchanges, require a mint at New York or at Charleston. The mint at Dahlonega was established because of its convenience to the gold mines, where tho ores were excavated and worked up ; and the in- creased facilities of intercourse were such that the ex- isting mints could supply all the wants of the country. Mr. tnson replied, urging the expediency of @ mint ct New York on account of the vast amount of foreign coins coming into the city in trade and ex- obanges, and with the emigrations from abroad. Here the advantages and the necessities of a mint were ap- rent, Emigrants and merchants could at once go into the mint and chance their foreign coin for Ameri- can coin, raving them the expense and inconvenience of transportation to Philadelphia, Mr. Dickinson, in regard to the amendment, proposed for the mint. at Charleston, would prefer that it had been left to stand by itecif. "yr. Niuxs would look at this measure simply as it regarded the finances, the exchanges, and the com- merce of the country. New York is the great com- mercial centre of the Union, in every respect. ‘Phe whole trade and commerce of the country centre there. Commerce, exchanges, emigration, all centre in New York. ‘Ihe amount of its business in these relations is beyond conception ; and it is constuntly increas- img.

He pleaded also that the great mare of foreign gould coin which now es inert ax ro much builion,in the New York Banks, would, in the estubli*hment of a mint, be thrown at once ipto the general circulation Mr. Barcen did not intend to consider the merits of the rpecie humbug. but would now confine himself to the mint bumbug The mint at Philadelphia could easily be made to answer sil the purposes of a mint at Now York.

Fifteen majors were app inted by virtue of the law of 1:46; 1t was necessary to take them from among the captains of the old army. He had been informed that ticy were some of most valuable officers in the service. By the law of 1847, they were to be discharged at the clove of the war. The committee on military affairs id not believe that it was the design of Congress to legislate these officers into promotion, which they had no iight to refuse, aud ‘ene legislate them out. ‘They were on the fields of Mexico, and regeived com- wisrions without knowledge of the law by which they were appointed. The committee wish to re- tain these majors in the public service, The com- mittee were also opposed to & dismissal of the quar- termasters, created by the tame They will all be needed, in consequence of the spread of cordo: of posts over our new acquisitions. Several officers were taken from tbe old army and plac-d in the new, and Mr, Botts was free to confess that it was his desire that they be restored to their eriginsl rank, as super- numerarice, to take their places as vacancies may oc- cur. It is provided by the Senate that the officers, non-commirsioned officers, musicians and privates who engeged in the war and served out their term of enlistment, or served out the time for which they ve- lunteezed, shall receive three months! extra pay, The committee then, with an amendment, “exovpt such officers whe were on leave of absence on the day of the proclamution of peace.” Mr Conn, of Georgis.—I wish to know whether the object of the committee is to pay such officers and sol- diers who have never left the United States, and been honoiably discharged ? Mr. Bor1s—It is in contemplation to offer amend- ments, My own impression is, that extra pay ought to be given to soldiers who. during the war, wer in ser- vice and have been honorably discharged. Mr. Conn—! ask the gentleman whether those who have never been out of the United States are te be paid. Mr. Borts—They ought to be paid, according to the Dill, but | will offer an amendment. Mr. J R. Incersow. asked a question, to which Mr. Burts replied:—1 am willing to retain every of- ficerin the old army, without di-tinction Mr. Boyp said that he w wyxinst the retention of any officers whe bave no service to perform He would never be found voting for an office. simply for t+e bene- gt of the incumbent; he was, therefore, opposed to the repeal or the postponement of the proviso which re- quires the President to reduce the number of Major Generals to one. and the number of Brigadier Gen- erals to two; and he was against the amendments, which, if agreed to, would continue seventy officer. in commission, who, in fact. would bave no service to per- form, We will not require an addition of men to the standing army If five thousand men whipped Santa Anna's well appointed army, with four times the num- ber. surely twelve thousand seven hundred and forty- cight can keep the peace. Mr. Burt understood the President to recommend that the army be increased to seventeen thouxand men. Did any one suppose that an army ef twelve or thirteen thousand men isto be commanded by one Major General, Mr. Borvp—The army before the war had but one. Mr. Burt—Was there but one Major General? Mr. Bovn—There was one by brevet. Mr. Bunt eaid that he received the pay and emolu- ments, and was subject tothe duty. The rule was one Major Geveral for four thousand men, and a Brigadior General for every two thousand, That was the pro- | ortion in every country. and had been so in this. ir. Burt made an allusion to the selection of the ground on which the battle of Buena Vista was fought, and this called up Col Ricnaxpson, of IMlinois, who furnished the House with a scrap of history in relation to the SELECTION OF THE BATTLE FIELD. The credit, he said, has been claimed by Gen. Wool, and the friends of Colonel Hardin, 1 will state the facts to the House (and they may draw their own in- ferences), 80 fur as 1 know them. and believe them to be material. Some time before the battle, in January, Col. Hardin’s regiment was stationed at the epring above Saltillo, and the advance position. While there, he sent two companies, under the command of the major of the regiment, to the pass, contemplating to take the regiment up to that point, in the event of the advance of the enemy. When General Taylor as- sumed the command, the troops were advanced to Agua Nueva. The 2ist of February, after leaving, the enemy were advancing in large numbers, for the pur- pose of being near our supplies, which were in depot at Saltillo.. Leaving at Agua Nueva the Keutucky cavalry, Colonel Marshall, and the Arkansas ca- valry, Colovel Yell, the army fell back toward the depot, The Kentucky infantry halted and encamped at Encantada, three miles to the rear, and at the pass Col. Hardin asked and obtained leave to halt his regi- ment during the night. Under tho direction of Col. Hardin, the regiment fortified the pass by a ditch up- on our side, and a breast» ork of stones and dirt upon the heights on the other side of the road through the pass. This was the key to the field, and in this posi- tion, I believe, we lost not a single man. During the night of the 21st, the regiment which were in advance fell back to General Wool’s position, two miles to our rear, On the merning of the 22d, Col Hardin exam- ined the ground, and said to General Wool that a regi- ment should fortify upon the extreme left, at the foot of the mountain. The ground was examined, and it was thought impos: ible, in consequence of the ravines, to advance troops, and eapecially artillery. across them, and consequently it was unnecessary to fortify at that int. On the morning of the 23d, the left flank of he American army was turned at that point, and the artillery advanced by throwing timbers across the rav- ines. While up, sir. I desire to refer toanother matter by which. unintentionally, no doubt, injustice has been done to the memory of those who are no more.— It has been said that the last charge at the battle of Buena Vista was the result of a conference between Col. Hardin and Col. Clay; and that Col. McKee op- pored the movement. This is incorrect. By reference to the official report of Col. Weatherford, it will be feen that Col. Hardin was ordered to make the charge, by a welunteer aid to Gen. Taylor. Captain Chilton.— General Taylor, however, denies that he so directed, That order was given in my prosence and hearing, and also in the presence of Capt. Robertson. Lieutenants Erwin, Myers, Wallace, and others. After engaging the enemy, who were in position and large numbers, Col. Bissell, with the second Illinois regiment, came to our assistance,and formed upon our right. Col. Me- Kee, with hia regiment, came afterwards, and formed, We were overpowered by immense numbers. our lines were forced, and the nation mourns the loss in that desperate conflict 1 make this statement in justice to the mem- ory of one whose fame is dear to the State which I have, in part, the honor to Fepresent, Mr. Bunt resumed—Major General Taylor was pro- moted, without bis knowledge or consent, for his splen- did battles. This was in accordance with the wishes of the people. No one ever heard that he asked for Rublic office. If the President does not wish to com- mit an act of inexpressible meanness, he will dismiss | Twipgs and Kearny, the junior major generals by brevet; he dare not dismiss Gaines and Wool, they are seniors. Mr. Harken, (who, as colonel, displayed his prow- ers on the fields of Mexico,) mentioned the names of the officers who had been promoted. and testified, from personal observation, to their efficiency, bravery, and private worth. They were rewarded for their gallant fervice, without interposition or knowledge of their own; and to deprive them of their positions in the army altogether, would not satisfy the country, nor be cunsistent with justice. Mr. Haratson said that to select either Scott or Taylor, and to dismies the other, would be an extreme- ly delicate task for the President. He would wish, if he were President, that Congress would repeal the pro- viso, and let these distinguished officers stand where If either of them is dismissed, the people of the United States will not be satisfied. Mr. Borrs expressed bis anxiety to move that a Com- mittee of Conference be appointed to confer with similar committee of the Senate, on the disagreeing amendments to the bill. Mr. McCiennanp said, that the question was, not whether certain officers should be turned out, but whether we shall continue the war establishment. Ho was opposed to this. and was in favor of the President executing the law of 1846. Mr. McLean, during h's remarks, spoke in favor of retaining the two major-generals and four brigadier- generals. ‘The House, by a vote of yeas 102, nays 36, refused to concur in the amendment of the Senate—to postpone, until the 4th of March, the proviso which requires the President to make the reduction of major generals and brigadier-generals, and insisted upon a repeal of the proviso, Alithe other amendmenta of the Senate were dis- agreed to, with the exception of that giving threo months’ extra pay to the officers and soldiers, This was amended by adding that, in cave of death, the widow or children shall be entitled to the money. A Commitice of Conference to confer with the Senate on the disagreeing amendments was ordered, and then, The House, after a session of more tha adjourned. five hours, Later from Mexico. PRONUNCIAMENTO OF PAREDES. [From tbe New Orleans Picayune, July 7.) By the ship Constantine, Capt. Smith, we have re- ceived our correspondence and papers from the city of Mexico to the 24th of June, The news is important to thore whe take an interest in Mexican politica. but we murt be brief. We commence with a translation of the letters of our correspondent: Mexico, June 24, 1848 The revolution, or rather the pronunciamento of Pa- redex. is developing itself day byday ‘The troops sont by the government, under the command of Generals Minon, Bustamente. and Pedro Cortizar. against the pronunciados, are deserting as fast as they come in presence of the insurgents. But one hope remained to the government to extinguish the revolutionary fever which bas attacked the greater part of the republic; orders have been issued by General Arista, Minister of War, to ehoot at once every superior officer who may be taken with arms in his hands. But let the govern- ment do what it will. it is lost. The republic is ag: delivered over to the most eomvlete anarchy. You will find in El Monitor of this day the plan of Paredes. which has so long been anxiously looked for. It ia signed by three hundred oMcers, of all ranks, We hi just learned, too, from the best sources, has taken posession of the mint from which he has drawn $600,000 penses of the troops under his command, The advance guard of Paredes, commanded by Ja- ravta. has entered Queretaro where they have added to their supply of arma and money. By the last dili- gence from tho interior we learn that there was » slight skirmirh between the Govermment troops and the pro. nurciados, and that the latter had the better of it. ‘There was a rumcr current ye: terday that the post of the “ Foreign National Guard’’ was to be attacked by the Puros of Mexico, who for a long while have on- ly waited for an opportunity of raising the standard of ’ ¥ | explxined the provisions of the bill, He plied ‘to the occ | by the St. Patrick revolt. and are now nly enlisted with the pronuncis- dos. ‘Tbe prompt relying of two or three huadred men belo! ng to this Guard prevented the exeoution of the plot, [ should mention. en passant, that this Guard was organised solely with a view of maintaining order in the city, and oridias for the public security, ‘We can now p: revive, however, that it eee already ox- eveded these limits It has mixed itseif up with the political questious which divide the country, and takes the pert of the Government, aod we know positively that its commander bas made propositions to tho Go- Yerpment tor mutual defence |! 1 cannot repeat too often that Paredes is but the echo of the clergy.

Precisely how it was thwarted We are not told—not by force, we feel assured —but the money did at last reach Mexico, as we have stated above. to the infinite relief of the President,who is said to have been in the utmost distress while the safety of the money wag doubtful. We make a hasty translation of the pronunciamento of Peredes, condeming the preamble, which] is as wordy aa is usual with Mexican state papers At a meeting of some three hundred officers in Gua- najuato, on tho 17th of June, a document was received from Paredes, he not beng present, in which he sets forth that public opinion has condemned the treaty of peace, that the government has been disloyal to its trusts, and neglected the interests, preseut and future, of the nation. To give an opportunity to the people to deliberate upon their rights, the following plan is adopted : 1. There shall be immediately summoned a National Conventien, composed of deputies elected by the popu- lar vote, two for each State and the federal district, and one for each Territory 2. This National peony was consigned, ention, which shail meet within five mont e adoption of this plan by allthe Republic, +hall have the power to examine and determine upon the treaty of peace brated with the United States, and to hold to their due responsibility, under the laws of the Republic, those who consented to such treaty. 3, Until the National Convention shall meot, the executive power of the Union shall be deposited with three or five individuals, who shall be elected by a junta composed of one Sapaty nominated for this pur- ‘pose only by each State, Territory, and Distriot of the Federation. | diness to deliver to our news steamer, t! marines always accompanied him, The he arrived he was sent on shore and so wards conveyed on board the convict hulk Med- way, which fies near Ireland Island, in the harbor of Bermuda Mitchel was not dressed as a con- vict, but wore the usual apparel of 2 gentleman, He appeared sad and low spirited, and looked pale and ae It was the impression among the officers at ald be fitted up for hi rmuda that a private room wo: would not be compelled to labor.—N.

Thestearship Southerner, which arrived yesterday from New Orleans, brings news from Tampico, whore she stopped the day previous, that the American troops had all left, and the town was perfectly quiet. A chief ¢fthe insurgent Indians had been arrested and hung at Tampico Viejo. The Mexican mail arrived a short time ago, bringing dates to the 24th. Among the items in the Monitor, [ finda notice of the arrest of the ex-Lieutenant Til- den, by order of the Supreme Government, and that he was to be sent immediately out of the republic. Accompanying this, you will find a letter from Mexi- co, written by the gentleman who formerly acted as ‘our correspondent in Queretaro, giving some interest- ingMdetails covnected with the pronunciamento of Paredes, and also » copy of hisnew plans. The Eco det Comercio says that he has only six hundred men badly armed, and that the greatest enthusiasm reigns amoug the government troops opposed to him. It adds that the triumph of the Supreme Government is secure. The Arco Ivis of to-day publishes @ petition to the Mexican government, signed by a large number of the most respectable Mexican citizens of Vera Cruz, pray- ing the Congress to pass alaw for the encouragement of immigration, grauting to the colonists a certain portion of the public lands, and ensuring religious tole- ration to them. Should this petition be seconded (and 1 think it will be) from other portions of the republic, a better day is doubtless about to dawn upon this un- happy country, and the friends of humanity may well rejoice at the prospect of the approaching downfall of £0 degrading a system of exclusivenees and bigotry as has hitherto prevailed here. A portion of Gen. Lane's brigade left this morning, and the remainder will probably embark this afternoon | or to-morrow morning. When they are gone, the whole of the volunteers will have left, with the exception of the Louisiana Battalions, and the 3d Division of Regu- lars—new regiments will not be long in following. Translated from N. O. La Patria July 6th. Important From YucatTan.—By letters received from Sisul, Za Patria has obtained the following account of affairs in Yucatan. Sisar June 20, 1848. Dear Sin—The work has commenced—in a few moments the savages will be masters of our lives and properties. On the 16th inst. the enemy ap- proached to the fortified lines of Campeche, burn- ed seventeen estates and the villages of Poqmaxun and Piche, and we believe they also burned the village of Hool. This misfortune is entirely owing to the insubordination of our troops, as after having left the city prepared to. repel the savages, when they arrived in Callal, before meeting them they mutinied and returned to Campeche with the greatest coolness. The enemy taking advantage of this cowardice, penetrated up to our lines with- out the slightest opposition; from this position they fired, and at the same time the signal of alarm was given in the plaza, occasioning great confusion and disorder, One thousand men immediately got together and made a sortie from the plaza, and going out as far as the haciendas, only met with the smouldering remains of the horried catastrophe. In the province of Merida, our troops haye gained some slight advantages; but these will result hke those obtained at Valladolid. The sa- vages, in conformity with the understanding they have with the Engli have retired to Bacalar to sell them the plunder they took at Tobin, and also sixteen pieces of brass artillery, which they disposed of, as they do not understand how to use them. Thus we may be certain that our present easy condition is undoubtedly but the precursor of a sure blow of the Indians on the capital and other towns, as they will come from Bacalar well armed and provided by the English. On the 18th, the government received advices that on the previous day the savages, 4,000 strong, had entered Canchacan, nine leagues distant from Mereda, and from information given by a servant of that hacienda,they had also taken Casayalquex, in the vicinity fof that capital. The government is giving out certificates of citizenship to the Indi- ans, and already have numbered some 6,000, bat as they have no arms to give them, these Indians merely carry the axe and machete. In spite of all this, nothing can be done without foreiga aid, even if it only consisted of 2,000 men and an energetic Governor; but in our present demoralized condi- tion, foreign aidfis the only remedy for our misfor- tunes. Another letter from Governor Barbachano de s that unless foreign aid is given them within two months, he knows not what will be- come of the country. From tig Rio Granpk.—The Matamotas Flag of the 28th ult., says:—Since our last publication, five companies of the 3d Dragoons passed down, and took up their encampment at Palo Alto, under Major Cass. The North Carolina and Mississispi regiments passed down yesterdry. Lieut.-Col. Webb, of the 16th Infantry, passed down yester- day tothe mouth, for the purpose of selecung a camp ground for his regiment, previous to em- barking tor New Orleans, Captain Dickinson’s company of the 10th have reached here from Rey- nosa. This regiment is now complete at this place. Gen. Wool is expected here between the Ist and 4th of July, when a general movement across the river of everything belonging to govern- ment may be expected. Surgeon McPhail has removed his quarters to Fort Brown. The sick have been sent to Point Isabel. Arnivan or Joun Mircuen at Berwupa.—We learn from an efficer of the British steamer Great Western, which arrived off Ship id on the 3d inat., the following interesting particulars in rela tion to John Mitchel, the Irish patriot. The man- of-war steamer Scourge having received an Admi- ralty erder to that effect, proceeded to Spike Isl- and, in the Cove of Cork, and after taking on board John Mitchel, sailed on the lat of June for the Island of Bermuda, where she relieved the Daring, Capt. Peel, which has been for a long time on thet station, ‘The Scourge arrived at Ber muda on the 20th_of June, and our informant saw Mitchel on the 22d.
