The Flag of the 234, has the following article upon the banditti whose depredations upon the Mexicans have been mentioned by the press of this city and of Mexico:—For the last three or four days, our town has deen kept in # feverivh state of excitement by the ra- mored advance upon Matamoras of a band of robbers, numberiug two hundred and fifty men—ifty of whom are Mexicans—with the intention, after nightfall, of plundering our citizens. In consequence, the autho- rities Dave doubled the police force, posted vickets without the limits of the town. and designated a place of assembling, in the event of an onslaught. Of the existence of armed bands of desperadoes, who hang upon the roads leading to the interior, uo one doubts yy have been more than once seen, in full force, and it ie now rendered pretty certain that they were the murderers of Mr. Wilson, merchant of Camargo, who a short time since, was Killed on his way to this place. It is also feared that Mr. Winfield, of this p ace, who ted a few weeks since on a trading expedition to n Fernando, has fallen @ victim to some kindred awless association. About two weeks since, a party, nearope hundred strong, after numerous depreda- ions upon ranches and travelling companies, crossed the Rio Grande and made their escape into Texas with their booty, amounting to near $0,000. During the two years the American army occupied the Rio Grande, many adventurers, combining with hundreds <f deserters and others—men totally lost to society— crmed a league after the fashion ‘of the banditti of other periods, and bave spread themselves over the country this eide the Sierre Madre, to prey upon the treasure that seeks an outlet through the northern part of Mexico. Itis hard for one to be compelled to spe#k thus of hiscwn covutrymen, but the history of ihe world furnishes no account of any couutry with- out the cebasement of a portion of its population.y say Since the withdrawal of our troops from Mexico, these deluded men have become emboldened to 2 fear- ful degree, and pursue their lawless voostion with a temerity unheard of Measures should be immediate- ly token to arrest them in their career of crime. “ On Sunday, the 20th ult., just outside the lines of Brownsville, a quarrel took place between a Mexican, in the quartermaster’s employ, and an American, The Mexican drew a knife, and was struck across the nose ‘and eye by the American with a heavy stick, inflict- ing a ghastly wound has luin in a state of insen- sibility ever sinee, and it is supposed will die, ‘A Mexican gentieman, just from Monterey, informs us that Gen Bustamente is on his way, and will be here in about a week, with five hundred Mexican cay- Whether the growing spirit of rebellion in Northern Mexico bas called these men here or not, is left to conjecture. It is thought Gen. Bustamente will make Matamoras his beadquarters, The forsaken, forlorn, desponding senoritas should spruce up, The oung military Mexican Hotepurs will suj ply the place in their affections left vacant by the departure of “los Yankees.” Tue Burraco 'Huxt.—About 200 gallant, ardent and energetic young men, all of whom have seen the elephant, left the city yesterday, for the rendezvous onthe Rio Grande. There are many others who are awaiting an opportunity to take a hand in this great affair, A telegraphic despatch, dated 2d instant, ccived at this office, from New York, informs us that company has been formed there, and is ready to depart from that port. The news from Matamoras, which we publish below. irdicates that th re brigands, well as buff to be hunted onthe Rio Grande, ani that Mexican soldiers, ae well as blaekeyed senoritas will be found on the hunting grounds.—N, O.

Toawel Powell, the commanding officer of this post, with the four contederated bands of Pawnee Indians, under an order from the War Department appropri. ating $2,000 for the purchase of a site fora military post at this point, as its publication may interest some of your readers. The land purckared by the treaty embraced the whole of Grand Island, some sixty miles in extent, and is invaluable to this post, from the fact that it contains much the largest proportion of valuable timber to be found anywhere on the Platte river. The extont of territory purchased is about 600 equsre miles, The Pawnees have been for a greater part of the summer out upon their buffalo hunt. On their return to their village, some three weeks since, hos f stopped at this post to receive the goods lately purchased for them contemplated in the treaty, by Captain Stewart Vitet, of the Quartermaster Department, at St. Louis. They seemed highly delighted with the bargain they bad made with Uncle Sam, as they were in avery desti- tute condition. and needed the articles purch: them—the blankets to cover their nakedne: ammunition and guns to protect them numerousenemies. The portion ef the $2,000 remain- ing after the purchase of the arti i expended in procuring presents sui tastes and fancy. They were distributed as a reward for virtuous action and good conduct towards the whites among the different chiefs, while, at the same time, those who heretofore had been guilty of com- mitting trespasses, and had not sustained a good cbsracter, were not only slighted, but received se- vere reprimands from the commanding officer, aa well as threats of summary and severe punisb- mente against any that might be found hereafter offendi p; Among the latter was an old offender, Chi- re-tu-riche, or the Bad Chief, who has been the cause of almort all the depredations committed PY thesefin- dians for years part, as he is a shrewd and intelligent Indian, and porresses a very great influence over the different tribe. e articularly those that are inclined to is now, however, in our custody, nd traders to the mountains will no eason to fear his influence. I regard fectly subdued, and not likely ever again to give be. government any trouble by inter- fering with any of its military operations, or by mo- lesting emigrants to California and Oregon. or traders to the mcuntains. They look upon this post, (and a very small force will to eufficient to garrison it.) as means of protection from their numerous foes who seem bent on the entire destruction of the miserable remnant of a onte powerful nation. We are anxiously awaiting the time of our relief, all anxieus once mors to see home and friends, and cursing the tardiness of government in its movements.

Nassau, arrived at this port, Wednesday, from Cayenne, 16th August, for papers to the 12th. Slavery was abolished by public decree, in French Guiana, on the 10th of that month, in virtue of the decree of the Republic, of the 27th April, and in the name of the French peo- ple. The pitslans ion was made amidst much cere- mony, in the presence of a vast conodurse, both civil and military, and with cheers and salutes of cannon. ‘The cortege then proceeded to the church, where solemn mass, followed bya Te Deum, was celebrated, and an address delivered by the prefect. After the mass, an iimense number of the new citizens, with their wives and children, celobrated the day with dances and sports and great enthusinam, shouting Vive la Republique! Vive la Liberte | Vive la Com- missaire General !— Salem Regist . Porro Rico.—We learn frow Capt. J. T. Bayley of tte bark Panchita, which arrived on Wednes- day, in 15 days passage, that in Porto Rico all kinds of American produce was Myf abundant and cheap, and also that the produce of Island was hardly ever known fo plentiful as the present year. Tho crops of the coming season are y iomewhat doubtful, there being # great want of rain in many parte of the Irland. The old crop is entirely exhausted, there being scareely sugar enough for one cargo, on the d regards the slaves, they are perfectly juiet, and no fears are entertained of insurrection. w Governor Genera) is very wetohful and 11 his movements, —Newburyport Herald, Tre Cuantisrs —Amongst the articles seized at the London Chartist club rooms were missiles of a di .boll- cal character, filled with or nails, pieces of fron, &c., and Fo fitted with » furse as to cxplode in half e minute, january 1, 1848, | Police Arvest of « Hardw: man, about 19 years of age, of velles aeatel ren calling him- self James ."Burfeld, alias J.

Pond, hardware dealer, No. 54 B: street. {it appears this young vitited several hardware stores yesterday, and — bill of at each, which were pac! male of the same, with 5 per cent off, for Up, an bee Thus the bill remained, and the , im the store, the accused saying, “ He would call in again in 15 or 20 minutes, and pay,for them.” On his person, when searched at the police office, was tound a bill ot ory | gpees of Charleg S. Little, 33 Fulton street, $49. Another for $27, made by Fellows & Schell, No. 21 Maiden Lane, At both pees, no doubt, he stole several pac! 8 of valuable pen- knives, as on searching his lodging room, located at Gunter’s, in Fulton street; near Broadway, several pac! of knives were found,evidently stolen by the aco! while retending to purchase the goods. Mr. Pond’s sto: fh Broad street, was the last store he visited, where re, he | said, after the goods were pacxéd up, that he would | callin again in fifteen minutes and pay for them.— This created a little suspicion in the mind of Mr. Pond, who directed his boy to watch where he went tc. A few scconds after he left the store, three packages of pen knives wore missing. This fact corroborated his previous suspicions, and pursuit was at once institu- ted, which resulted in Mr. Pond tracing him to his lodging room, at Gunter's, in Fulton st., where Mr. Pond caused his arrest, and found his own missing knives on his person, On the accused being brought to the Police Office, he was at once recognized by Mr. Stewart, the Clerk of Police, as a thief, and likewiso by officer Smith. Justice Lothrop committed him to the Tombs for trial, sirrest on Suspicion.—Officer Franklin, 13th ward, arrested, yesterday, @ man by the name of Alfred Mo- jer, on euspicion of having stolen the following pro- perty from Mr. Phillip Nusbaum, residing at No 126 Breome at.: @ gold lepine watch, 1 plain gold chain, 1 twisted chain, 2 gold rings, 1 nair bracelet, gold clasp; 1 silver braided clasp, together with $50 in silver coin; ued in all at $150. The whole of the property was taken from # book case, which was broken open, it is presumed, by theaccused. Justice Osborn committed him to prison to await a further hearing. Selling Obscene Prints.—Two men, by the names of Wm. Lee and Adam Hartman, wore arrested, on Friday night, in Catharino st . on a ebarge of selling obscune prints. They were taken before Justice Lothrop, to- gether with their bundles of obscene pictures, and com- mitted to prison for trial. Constructive Larceny.—Officer Stokely arrested yes- terday a Frenchman, by the name of H. Dachizvan, on warrant issued by Justice Lothrop, wherein he stands charged by Aaron B. Marvin, of No. 93 Wiliam street, with obtaining two hundred thousand needles, valued at $90, under pretence of having an order from a western merchaat; on whioh sale he would only make a profit of about $6, and if he did not sell them, he would either bring back the needles, or pay the cash, Under these circumstances, Mr. Marvin parted with the perty ; but instead of the accused taking the needles to the Western Hotel for the merchant, as represented, he conveyed them to an auction store in Ann street, and from there, the same day, sold the whole lot of needles to Erastus D. Thayer, No. 93 Maiden Lane, for $40. Justice Lothop, under this state of facts, committed the accused to prisen, to await a further hearing in the case, which will take place on Monday morning at 10 o'clock. Playing the Baby Act.—A very singular case of false pretences was taken on Friday by Justice Lothro| ‘against a young man by the name of Delas L, Davi- son, a dealer in watches at No. 34 Liberty street, made by Mr, Simeon Dreyfore, watch importer, No. 64 John street, in which Davison stands charged with obtain- ing @ bill of goods, consisting of watch materials, valued at $300, by false representations. It appears from the affidavits made before the magistrate that the accused, about a month ago, calied upon the co! plainant, and wished to buy bill of;goods on and having purchased goods of him before, and pai for them, his credit was considered good. Watch ma- terials were then selected by the accused, jounting to-$300 and for the payment thereof he gave his notes, dated, at 30, 60, and 90 days; but previous toth selling of the goods, the complainant asked the acoused if he was over,21 years of age, bevause if he was not, the notes could not be collected. To this inquiry Davison replied most positively that he was over 21 years, and was therefore responsible for his debts. if m this representation the complainant parted with his goods, and took the notesin payment thereof. On the first note becoming due, the payment was refused, and the plea set up was that he (Davison) was a minor and consequently not liable for the debt, And it was for this false representation) in stating he was of age, when in fact he was s minor, that the above complaint was instituted. On ,these stated facts, Justice Lo- throp issued his warrant, and Mr. Davison was arrest- od by officer Walling, of the lower police, and held to answer the charge. <A hearing is to be had in the case when the facts possibly might be somewhat modified by witnesses being introduced on both sides.
