Symptoms of opposition to the administration of Genera: Taylor have already been exhibited, be- fore it has been a week in power. The idea, oniginating among Southern members of Congress, of opposing Mr. Collamer, the new Postmaster General, on account of his northern or freesoil motions, did not amuuct to much, but the seed 18 ‘sown, and it will no doubt bear some kind of dis- contented truit, in procesa of time. The opposi ‘tion of another class ot politicians, the democrats, on the ground of the comprehensive doctrines put forth in the inaugural Address, relative to interna improve meats, constituuonal views, the authority of the Supreme Court, and the just influence which ‘Congress ought to have on expedient measures of degislation, in opposition to the veto, are matters less tang ble and Jess cbviousatthe present moment than they may be at the ussembling of the new Con- grees. The greatest trouble, however, which the new administration will have to encounter, is that which mpy spring up in ite own ranks, and on the @round of disappointment in the pursuit of office There 1s alrewdy great discontent among the Pennsylvania dviegation and among the Pennsyl- vania cliqu the appoin nto! Mr. Meredith; rthere 1» uch in New and Massachusettsy with the same appointment, and one or two others. ‘This discontent arises trom the office seekers, and af their expectations be not realized, from the new cabinet, we may expect to see attempts made, simsiar to those whch were so effectually carried out in 1841 and 742, under the Tyler administra- tion, with the Harrison cabinet, and Daniel Web- ster, the premier. ‘The sudden death of General Harrison was not he fole cause of the downfall of that admiaistra- tion, although many have supposed it was ; neither was it the went of ekill cr talent in John Tyler, who succeeded General Harrison, which pro- duced so disastrous a disorganization of the whig party of that day, and the downfall of the dynasty that came into power with him. The discontent of dienppointed office seekers laid the foundation of that ruin, and many of the most interesting spe- cimens and prov{s ot this view might be found in connection with some of the leading whig orgaas of that day. Let us take one. It is very well known to those who know anything ot the history of that pericd, that some of those connected with the Courer aud Emgquirer were disappointed in obtaming office from the hands ot either Joha Tyler or General Harrison, and that this disap- poiatment broke out iuto many and siagular ebul- yitions against the character, politics, and reputa- tion of Mr. Tyler and his cabinet, of which Mr. Webster was then Secretary of State. Here area few epecimens, which we take trom an evening paper, which has takeo the pains to collect and condense them :— ELEGANT EXTRACTS FROM THE COURIER AND ENQUI R&R, UN THE WHIG DyNasrycr 1841.

They aro extract- ed irom a journal which was aleacing whig orzan of that dey, and remaws in pretty much the same postion at the present ume. It was one of the firat to develope the opposition which was commenced within the bosom of the whig party against its own dynasty, and the motives for such a course of action are well known to have originated 10 dis- appointments in office seeking, although the ge- neral hostility increased by that class of politicians towards Mr. Tyler aad nie cabinet, drove that functionary into the hands of the democracy, and scattered the original cabinet to the four winds of heaven, with the exception of Mr. Webster, who stuck fast for a while. From these and other reminiscences, we are very well satisfied that the suooess of the new dy- nasty at Washington will depend more on the good sense of its leaders, its advisers, its editors and office seekers, than on the regular opposition that may be expected from the democrats, defeated as they were by the defeat of General Casa. With such a rumber of office seekere, soliciting spous and pay, it 19 utterly impossible for any adminis- tration to satisfy more than a smail portion indeed The great mags of the place hunters must be dis- appointed, and their disappointment will naturally enough seek consolation in producing difficulties and conjuring up opposition, 1n their own ranks, to their own administration. There 1s one view which consoles us with the accession of General Taylor to the Presidency, by a party which heretofore has exhibited such ‘a want of tact and discretion as the whigs have. General Taylor’s cabinet is composed of whiga, but his policy, as faras it has beea disclosed, 1s ae moderate as possible. It is a policy in which the moderate men of both the great parties might concur; and with his great personal popu- larity, his firmness of purpose, his determination to do what is right, and his independence of all cliques, he will be able to carry the country with him, 1n opposition to the disappointed office beg- gars, even of his own party. This is his greatest point of strength. Tue Cuorena—Anornee Farss ALinu.—We are happy in being able to inform the pub- le that the many rumors which have beer industriously put in circulation, affirming the existence of cholera at Quarantine, or on our shores, are, ae we have reason to believe, enurely unfounded. We yesterday visited the Quarantine, and went over every department of the extensive hespital there, and we can state, with great plea- sure, to our readers, that there 1s not a single case of cholera on our shores here. Whatever has been stated as to the existence of cholera on board the ship Liverpool, now lying in the middle f the stream, and recently arrived from Liver- pool, is a matter of great doubt. Fromall the in- formation we could derive at our visit of inspec- tion and inquiry yesterday, we formed the delibe- rate opinion that the disease on board the Liverpool was only a malignant form of dysentery. On the passage, forty persons died on board this ship, we believe on good authority, of dysentery ; but there are others who affirm of cholera. There were 416 ateerage passengers, consisting ot the poorest class of people; and disease among such destitute per- sone, crowded tcgether as they were, and shutting out the exterior air to keep themselves warm, was only to be expected. The annexed statement of the captain and surgeon corroborates what we saw :— I certify that at present, on board the peeket ship Liverpool there is but one man (s colored susman) suffering from symptoms anything like cholera. and he has been indlepused for the last four or five da: is pow merely weak aud prostrate—the resuit vere attack—and | hi ne betitation in saying, if he gets proper nutritien be will soon be bimeel: again. Tho other persons are suffering from debility, and re quire change of air, nutritious food, &o. As to there Deing nine cases of choleraon board, it isa mistake, public should be set right on that head Ap. deficient clothing, and other oauses of ud all these who are complaining are proved it is but fair to add, that the umber of indolemt persons. of dirty habits, er eo within the limited space ship's between dechs, otber cares of disease will make their a} anee,and in all probability multiply to a great (Signed) JAMES O'DOWD, Rurgeo: N. B.—Tbe said colored seaman is the most recent case; and before bis attack, we bad not, for eight days, any person suffering from the severe Pureing cramp, ko, characteristic of cholera. JOHN ELDRIDGE. No doubt the dysentery which broke out among them, being attended with the con- comitant symptoms of sea sickness, assumed, on that account, the guise and obtained the appellation of cholera. There is a disposition in the human mind both to make wonders and to believe them. Partly, no doubt, to this love of the hormble and fearful we may attribute the well meant efforts which have been made to create a panic inthe community. At presentthere are about nineteen sick persons on board the Li- verpool, and since her arrival there has been no death on board. Some of those cases are small pox; the others, we have reason to believe, are nothing but malignant typhoid dysentery, attended by a great prostration of strength, and attenuated evacuations, such as to mimic the appearance of cholera and deceive even goed judges. The ship has now been in port feur days, and no otheis than those who were sick on its arrival have since been attacked, in any shape. This 1s conclusive evidence that there 1s no epidemic on board. It is to be believed that the ventilation now giver to the ship, and the care and attention of Dr. Whi- tung, the Health Officer, who is daily on board at- tending to them, jomed with, we believe, the ship surgeon, will soon be the means of helping te alle- viate their condition and restore them to health.— We are also glad to learn that of those sick per- sons pow on board the Liverpool, there 18 no in- tentien of bringing any of them on shore ; indeed, if it were intended to do so, we do not see how it would be possible. The Marine Hospital board t! ot food, lar paiure 1s brimiull of sick foreigners and emigrants, of whom there are 1,100 now in the several wards, but no case of cholera whatever, among them all. We saw what we never saw before in any hospital, viz:—two sick people in a bed in several of the wards. At the same time, it 1s due to all con- cerned in this great and useful establishment, to say, that we never saw in any hospital, in any country, greater cleanliness, comtort or order.— The rooms are spacious and well ventilated, and altogether, an inspection of the whole will torce every candid person to award the highest credit to the able physicians under whose care the hospital is, and to the city which supports such a great and valuable establishment. We understand that the cause of the great crowd of inmates in the hoe pital, at this present time, is owing to the circum- stance that the commissioners of emigration employ the hospital asa means of getting rid ot their sickly emigrants whom they find in the city, and that they employ a boat, appropriately enough called the Stranger, to send over from the city, daily,sick and sickly persons, who thus over-crowd the hospital. Meantime, it is a source of great gratification to every benevolent mind to reflect that the sick and infirm, the poor and the needy, on reaching these shores from a foreign land, are #0 kindly and comfortably attended to as we saw with our own eyes yesterday. It 18 also a cause, we believe, tor Gratification and reyoicing, that there is at this mo. ment no fear to be apprehended of the presence or ot the approach o1 that terrific disease, the Asiatic cholera ; and we may therefore conclude this ac- count of our visit, by informing the city generally, that, without fear of the long rest, she new may requicscat im pace. There is much reason to believe that these cho- lera rumors are circulated by a set of men owning property on Staten Island, who are anxious, for telfich purposes, to get the quarantine establish- ment removed from there. In putting these stories afloat, they know but little, and care leas, perh ips, of the great injury which they inflict on New York; fer while it 1s reported that cholera is at our doors, our ships are quarentined at all Southern ports. {f those people wish that establishment removed, why do they net take measures to effect it that wil not inflict suck iejury om the community of Nev Lork as such reports are ealculated te dot AFFAIRS IN EUROPE AND ASIA. TWO WEES LATER INTELLIGENCE. RECEIVED BY THE ARRRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP AMERICA. AT HALIFAX, AND Extraordinary Overland Express, SAINT JOHN, NEW BRUNSWICK, THENCE BY Magnetic Telegraph To THE NEW YORK HERALD OFFICE. Highly Intere ti:g Politi al and Commercial L.tel iene. Another Advance in Cotton. ACTIVE DEMAND AMERICAN SECURITIES. THE CORN TRADE. Important Navigation Movement in England, Deposition of the Pope of Rome. The Declaration of the Spanish Govern- ment, Relative to the Annexation of Cuba to the United States, Sic. Be. Soe The steamship America, Gaptain Shannon, ar- rived at Halifax at a quarter before 3 o’clock, yesterday morning, in a passage ot little over eleven days across the Atlantic. This is a very quick run at this season of the year. She left Liverpool on Saturday, the 24th ult. Our extraordinary express left Halitax in five minutes after the America arrived, and reached Digby, N.S., at 20 minutes before 12, M., thus making the run in eight hours aad fifty minutes. The especial messenger crossed over the Bay of Fundy, in the steamer Conqueror, in six hours and thirty minutes, although she was detained nearly two hours in the bay by immense fields of ice. This extraordinary despatch (transmitted at a very heavy expense) furn ehes the readers of the New York Herald with another instance of newspa- per enterprise, in laying before them the latest in- telhgence from Europe. This news was run from Halifax to a point on the Bay ot Fundy, a dis" tance of about one hundred miles by horsee; thence by steam, across the Bay o! Fundy, to St. John. ; and thence direct to New York, a distance of seven hundred and fifty miles, by lightning —the whole distance being about nine hundred miles, and accomplished withia the incredibly short space of sixteen hours. When"we take into censideration the miserable state of the roads through Nova Scotia at this season of the year, to- gether with the tremendous tides and the floating ice to be encountered in the Bay of Fundy, we feel no hesiation i pronouncing this a feat in news- Paper enterprise, unparalleled in either hemi- sphere. The intelligence 1s of an highly interesting character, in several points of view. The active demand for American securities throughout Surope—the large sales of cotton, at more ad- vanced rates--the deposition of the Pope—the movement made in England in relation to the navigation laws—-the state of the grain trade, &c., &c., &c , all tend to give this intelligence an edge and an interest. Annexed are the telegraphic details :-- THE NEWS DESPATCH, Liverroo., Saturday Noon, Feb. 24, 1819, Affairs in England—The Navigation Laws. Mr. Labouchere has again brought forward the government proposition for the modification of the navigation laws; and Mr. Bancroft, our mints ter, states that, to whatever extent of liberality the British Parliament may be disposed to le- gislate in this matter, that he 19 ready to sign & convention to-morrow, based upon com- plete reciprocity, and upon the opening of the entire coasting trade of the two countrres to the vessels of both. By the proposed law, it will be competent for an Ameri- can veseel te come to Liverpool from the United States, laden with cotton and tobacco; She will be permitted to discharge all or part of her cargo in the Mersey, take in Manchestergoods’ or coals, or passengers, and carry them to Glas- gow or London in transit, and clear out with, per- haps, a fresh earge from her final port of dis- charge. The cholera returns have now swelled to 12,495, of which 5,546 have died, 8,788 have recevered, and 3,164 continue under treatment, on which the result is not stated. The Bank of England account only exhibits in- creasing resources, whilst the lower rate of dis- count among the private bankers precludes the Bank from adding to their mercantile business. The accounts from California continue to excite the most intense interest. The excitement has now extended to all classes. The French gevern- ment has dispatched an engineer to Califorma, with the object of surveying the new discoveries. M. Someredo has arrived in London from Vien- na, with a view to settle with Lord Palmerston the preliminaries of the Brussels Congress, The Continent of Kuroepe. The course of events in continental Europe eon- tinues marked by the flight and tall ot princes. The Grand Duke of Tuscany has fled from Vienna with his family, and has taken refuge at Porto San Stefano. A provisional government has been declared by the excited people, as part of Italy. te The declared hostility of Austria to the scheme of German Union, and the apparent sincere oppo- sition of Russia, together with the srreconcileable enmity of Bavaria and Hanover, leave very little hope of a speedy realization of the projects of the Frankfort Assembly. The Prench Republic—Popularity ef Prest- dent Louis Napoleon, The National Assembly has finally voted its own diseolution, and the new Assembly will meet about ‘he middle ot May. Louis Nepoleon seems to be daily acquiring political strength and popularity, end politicians who have hitherto, trom apprehen- fione of instability or other motives, withheld their Support, how come forward to declare themselves Konaparuste, und accordingly, very great progress bas been made in reestablishing publicconfidence. ‘The bonnet cage, tie symbol ot liberty, us well a8 Oferme, hus been pot down in almost all parts of rence. Montagnard flags and socialist ta serypuont bave shared the same fate. M. Ledew Rolin baving imteipeduied the ministry of the at- fairs of Rome, received im reply an iatumetion that the French government did not mean to ac- knowledge the Roman goverameat, without pre- viously ascertaining that it approves of its acts, and that the Frevch ministry was anxio1 that the Pope shoula be placed in a position beconin’ a temporal prince, and head of the Catholi¢ church ; and the Assembly, in spite of an ineflec- tual effort of the red republicans to fetter the go- vernment by a declaration ot principle, passed unceremoniously to the order of the day. The salons of Paris, so long elosed, are now filied mghtly by crowds of the beau monde, andt!e petite commerce of Paris hae received accordingly a very considerable impulse. Joseph Bonaparte, who will proceed to Spa ambassador, insists on remaining in Paris tll after the elections, for which he is preparing eo as to consolidate the power ef his relative at the head of the republic. A continuance of tranquillity may 1crease the good dispositions which now prevail to go great aa extent. Under sueh circumstances, the funds have ad- vanced very considerably. The five per cents are quoted about 81.60, The three per cents now range about 50. Important from Rome, In the Rowan States the republican feeling has reached the highest point of excitement, and the Execotive Committee has usurped the Papal au- thonty, which is altogether set aside. We have from Rome the important intelligence of the deposition of the Pepe, and the establisa- ment of arepublic. This event took place at 10 o’clock in the morning of the 9th of February. It has been voted that he shail enjoy all the guaranties necessary for the independence of his spiritual power. The Danuman Provinces, Some of the Paris papers assert that the British ambaseador at Constantinople has protested against the occupation of Moldavia and Wallachia by Ruseia—in which course he is sustained by the ambassador of France. Sardinia. Sardinia remains quiet. The King seems con- ecious that he has not the confidence of the Italians. Accordingly his object seems to be confiaed to the maintenance of his own power within Piedmont. Bapte: Naples has not advanced a step towards the set- tlement of her disputes with Sicily, and we pre- sume that matters will remain im statu quo, until some progress can be made in the negotiations of the several powers now assembling at Brussels for the adjustment of Italian affairs. Holland. The King of Holland opened the Chambers on the 14th, amidst general manifestations of attach- ment from his people. Prus: In Prussia, the elections have abeorbed univer- sal interest. The prospects of the Ministry have somewhat improved. The Austrian banker Mr. Sina hastaken a new Austrian loan of 60,000,000 fiorins in conjunetion with the firm of Rothechild and the Russiaa house ot Steiglitz & Co. The Emperor hag anthorized the exportation of a considerable porston of bullion from the stock in the vaults of the Bank of Rus- eia, with a view to facilitate the payment of this loan. The Austrian Empire. In Austria and Hungary, affairs have again taken an unfavorable turn. The Imperialists have certamly been beaten in several encounters with the Hungarians, and Bem is likely to give them a great deal of trouble. It 1s impossible to read the accounts of this fratricidal war without being shocked at the frighttul vindictiveness and bar- barity into which hostilities are carried on. Prince Windischgratz has been entrusted with the settlement of the affairs of Hungary. Russia. We have had repeated reports of the entrance of the Russians into Transylvania, but no authen- tic accounts have yet reached us of such an im- portant intervention. There eannot, however, exist a doubt but that Russia is intriguing active- ly with a view to encroachments in that quarter. Lord Palmerston, however, seems to be tully aware of the danger, and in spite of the obloquy attempted to be fastened upon him, is steadily cir- cumventing an intrigue, which, if persevered in, will infallibly bring about a general European war. Spanish Affairs, THE ANNEXATION OF CUBA TO THE UNITED STATES. In Spa:n, at the session of Congress held at Ma- drid, Jan. 31, a call was made for the correspond- ence said to have passed respecting the annexation of the island of Cuba. The reply was, that no pro- position had been made; and that no ministry com- posed of Spaniards would eaer listen to such a pro- posal, if made; and that they should never cede the island of Cuba. In the Senate aleo, General Narvaez confirmed the above; and added, that the rumors of a cession wree entirely untounded; and that the island of Cuba would always remain, as now, a part of the monarchy of Spain. Important from India. The India mail has arrived, with dates from Bombay to the 19th, and Calcutta, 8th January, and Hong Kong to 80th December. ‘The news 1s very interesting. Our previous advices left a portion of the British army before Moultan, which place was to be re- duced, toenable thatarmy to join the divisions under Lord Gough. Our present intelligence state, that that place has been captured after having bee battered and bombarded for an entire weck, but the citadel held eut. The‘detence of the place seems ‘o have been one of the most obstinate on record. On the 27th Dec., the columns moved to the attack and established themselves withia five hundred yarde of the walls. Here batteries were ercetede and on the 26th a terrific bombardment com- menced. On the 30th, a fort containing 800,00) pounds of powder, was blown up by well direeted mortars. The devastation was horrible. [Here we are compelled to stop our despateh, im conse- quence of the lateness of the hour, this (Fnday) morniag.—Hxrap.] Markets, ities im London.

At Liverpool on the following day, 20th, the market for slmost every article of the trade ruled dull and languid. Wheat receded 2d. per bushel, and Flour sold very slowly at 268 to 26s. 64. for the very best sorts of United States, and 26s. 6d. to 26s. for Ca- nadiam. The vslue of Indian Corn did not exceed 280 64, to 808. for white, and 31s. to 328, for yellow; whilst the current value of Indian Meal was reported ot 148, to 14s, Gd per barrel. Since that day the mar- kets both bere and in Londen bave been very tame, and little business was transacted.

As the quality of the beef now im the market is very inferior, the demand is very Hmited. Holders would willingly accept lower rates. In pork and bacon a fair business is doing. Both cheere and lard are receding ia value, and butter hae fallen 1 to 2s per owt. Stare or Taave.—The state of trade in the manu- facturing distriots, on the whole is satisfactory. Em ployment is plentiful, and activity prevails throughout. Tux Inon Tnave, Feb. 24,—With regard toiron, the domand continues large, and prices improve, A week ago, the leading iron masters in Staffordshire sent out olrowlars, advan cing their prices 20s. per ton; but a, most of them are full for the present quarter, and there is a disposition to advance the wages of the work- men, this proposed rise will not only be obtained, bata turther advance at quarter day may possibly take place, to equalise the prices with the same rate in 1848: ‘With the prorpeots of the trade, this seems reasonable’ ‘We quote present prices in Liverpool :—Merchant bar, £6 per ton; best bar, £%; hoops, £8 10s.; sheets, £9; Scotoh pig, nett oash, £8 5s, St. Petensnuncu.—The letters report that sugars ‘were ip advence, and fine coffees scarce.

If she 1eaches that city before seven o’clock to- morrow morning, her mails will arrive in this city to-morrow night, and her news in detail be pub- lished in the Hera/d on Sunday morning. tee Later viom Yucatay.--We leara from Capt. Smith, of the brig Potomac, which lett Sisal on the 16th February, that the affairs of the govéra- ment were still in avery unsettled state. The American troops have been in several engage- ments, and suflered considerably. There was much diseatistaction existing among the officers and men of this regiment, caused by the falee re- Presentations made to them before starting from New Orleans, in consequence of which, one major, five captaims and some oight or ten lieutenants, had resigned. 1t was reported at Sisal that Tihesaca (the head quarters of that division) was aga:n surrounded by the Indians, that the whites had no provisions, and would be compelled to retreat, it they had not already done so. The Indians had latterly exhivit- ed mech bravery, fighting in the open field aad haud to hand, a method which they have hitherto avoided. The matkew were well suppled with Amerioan goods.

This measure, we have betore, iaformed our readere,18 an anti-British one, and therefore has been violently opposed by the loyalist party, who, strange to say, threatened revolution, ee cession, and muny other dreadful things, betore and since it beeame a law, with the view of pre- venting its receiving the Goveruor’s sanction. Now this may be all very well as tar as it goes, but, in cur opmion, if this measure does not re. ceive the reyal sanction, it will createa revolution tm earnest—uot one ef words but of deeds ; fort cannot be supposed that it would be brought for. ward by the mipistry unless they were certaia of carryieg it; and the lurge majority by which it waa paceed ; shows that they were correct im their an- Ucipatuiove, aad that it would be popular with the majority of the people. Affairs in Cunada are becoming very interesting and we shall closely watch the progress of eveute there, with the confidenee, that betore many years, or perhaps months, or perhaps weeks, we shall receive accounts trom there that will be start ling, but such as, yn the nature of things, must,, sooner or later, mark the hietory of thuse provinces Odd enough, the royalists are the reyolutionists this time, 90 that both- parties seem to be preparing for aplunge. Go ahead boys—ait 1s only one dee dive, and all is over. Exiga Session or Connaxkss.—Seme of our ce temporaries are discussing the probability ef Gea Taylor convening an extra seesion of Congress and a few of them even go 80 far as tostute that aa extra session is necessary. Now, in our opiaion there 1s not the elightest necessity for any sucl movement. Every measure of vital importance t: the country was puseed upon at the last session except it be the question of establishing a govera ment over the newly acquired territories of Nev Mexico and Culitorma. That was not passed.~ But is there any probability or likehhood that’ . would meet with better success in an extra see sion? None atall. In fact, it would be mucl better to allow the excitement which the discussio) of that subject occasioned 1n the last Congress t: subsiae—the angry conflict of opinion and interes between the North and the South to cool, befor. at be aguin touched. Apurt from this, we do not know of any mea eure which would, in the least, justity on extn session ; and we hope, as we believe, that the new President will let matters remain as they are. Ex tra sessions are dangerous matters to trifle with. Late vrom Rio Jangino.—The bark Rambow Captain Cator, arrived at Baltmore on Tuesday Ske left Rio Janeiro on the 25th January, am brings advices to that date, which are ninetee: | duys later than previously received. Nothiag it the shape of news is contained in our files. Murtary Movement.—Brigadier Gea. Woel accompanied by his aid-de-camp, Lieut. E. Me Lean, arrived in the city yesterday, and occupie: apartments at the Astor House. Later From Bermvva.—By the arrival of the brig Falcon, Capt. Pitts, from Bermuda, we are iz possession of files ot the Ruyaé Gazette to the 201 ult. The following paragraphs from the Riyul Ga zette of the 20th, are all we find worth giving :— The royal mail steamer Medway, from South ampton in 17 days, arrived at treland Island at ¢ lute hour last evening. In consequence of its blowing a strong gale at the time the Medway pass ed St. George's, she did not ldadgner mails there as 18 customary, butcariied them to [relaud Island We presume the same cause, coupled with the daikness of the night, prevented their being for. warded to Hamilwu, aud we ate compelled to ge to press without being able even to ackuowledze the receipt of our papers and letters by that vessel. We understend that the ship Neptuue woale leave Englund for Bermuda snortly, with about 800 convicts, under the medical superiotencence ot AN . McDeas,R.N.

There was a report in Buenos Ayres, when Captain Hohorst left, that the Bra- zilian and French squadrons were about to block- ade that port. There were three Brazilian men-of war in the river at the time he left. The United States sloop of war Saratoga was also there; she arrived on the 26th of December. The English Minister had not been received in his officia capacity. Vessels communicating with Montevideo, bound to Buenos Ayres, will not be allowed to enter. A light ship brig nigged, has been stationed of the port ot Buenos Ayres; she lies nine miles north-east by east trom Pout Indio, and her light, can be seen ata distance of ten miles. Vessels can obtain Buenos Ayres pilots from her. Mr. Eoward Hoyt, of Brooklyn, mate of the bark Maid of Orleans, was drowned when 6l.e was go- Ing inte the river: he was standiag on the anchor, when the stopper gave way. Efforts were made, to save him, but without avail: his body was reco= vered two days afterwards. The secoud officer of the bark Rio Grande had been dangerously stabbed by one ot the crew, Meerrs. Rockwell and Ce ’s New York Cireus,, after performing .or three mouths betore crowded houses, had suiled on the 28th December for Rie Grange, Brazile.
