Additional Accounts from California, From the New Orleans Crescent, May 19.} By the schr. Home, from Tampico, which place she left ‘on the 10th inet., we have received a copy of La Espana ofthe ist. and El Noticioso del Panuco to the 9th. Thenews they contain cannot be considered im- portant, although they contain some items of interest, which we give below. The news from San Francisco Reaches to March 28th. It will be found FROM CALIFORNIA AND VALPARAISO. Le Espana, of tne Ist inst. has news from San Fran- eisco to the 28th of March, by way of Tepic. The in- telligence—we translate from La Espana—confirms the previous accounts of the favorable state of affairs in that Tich country. It also assures us of the security with which strangers can seck the gold of the placers: of the arrival of some expeditions from this coun- try; of the extreme scarcity of some articles, and the incrcased price of others, cspecially woollen goods and iron work, such as spurs, a pair cf which could hardly be obtained for three ounces of gold There is such an abundance of the precious metals in circulation, that the extensive mbling operations at Tlalpan and San Juan de los Lagos are nothing to what is observed in California, Labor is very scarce, and no one would work at any- thing by which he could not earn at least $100 per month. Stores are not wanting. In spite of the high price of liquors, the generality of intoxication is remark- able. Flour is abundant, and brings the moderate price of $8 per quintal. The Alta Californian, to the 22d of March, had been received. The number of the 15th says that many per- sons bud left for the placer. On account of the good weather which had prevailed during the two weeks pre- goding the one immediately previous, it was thought that the winter had terminated, and large caravans left San Francisco. Without doubt, however, their progress must bave been interrupted by the rains and suows which fell subsequent to their departure Gold is as abundant as ever, and provisions at exor- bitant prices. T ains had swollen the rivers, ‘The editors of the Californian are of the opinion that it is not prudent to hasten to the diggings, because the humidity of the earth might produce sicknoss and death Many desire to know the best mothod of travelling to the mines, but in the present state of the ravines (ar- voyos) it in difficult toadvise which maaner ought to be choren. Withal, there ought now to be some places fit for working. Those whe go to dig gold and not to traffic in goods, should be careful to avuid overloading themselves with Daggage; it would be unnecessary and troublesome to earry wuch baggage when transportation commands such high prices. and is so difficult to obtain. ‘There are two methods of going to the placer—one by land from the Pueblo of San José y Benicia, and from that to the city of Sacramento; the other by water to Sacramento, or to Stockton in boats The diffeulty of procuring horses in San Francisco makes the water route preferable. On arriving at Sacramento, beasts of burden can be procured for whatever point is desired. A merchant of San Francisco, writiog under date of March 9. among other things. has the foilowing: — “Tt appears that in all th t extent of the placers there is scarcely a point whore gold is not found, and there are places where a bushel of earth yields a pound of gold. In this port the circulation of money is aston- ishing, All things are high. but principally transporta- tion and manual labor. ‘The freight of u beat from hero | to Santa Clara. three leagues this side of San Jose, is ‘Worth $400 to $500 Here. bad horses bring $160, and in San Jose $100. Herw, board is worth $5 per day for | one person, From this place to San Jose is twenty | Jeagues, by lond. and from there to Forbes’ quicksilver @ine, four: to the placers, sixty.” Letters from Valparaiso to the 27th of February, fan old date.) announce the arrival at that port of three United States transports, bringing eight hundred men, ‘Two of these vessels are steamers of one thousand tons burthen. It is understood they belong to the Panama Hine of steamers. There were at the same time in the rt of Valparaiso, eight or nine merchant vessels up for Sun Fravcisco, Almost all the merchants of the country have gone or are preparing to emigrate; and foreigners of all classes and nations it were, with foot in stirrup for the laud of gold. Many speculators have directed their operations to California, and it ‘ap- pears that that country is converted into a land of pro- mise for the whole world, as all porsons are diveeting their steps thither. Letters frem California state that the United States government offers no obstacles to the working of the amines. either by patives or foreigners. The American brigantine Cayuga, Captain Santiago Sevige, left San Bins for San Francisco, April 14th. Tur Overriow at New Onteans.—The crevasse at Tunisburg. opposite the barracks, is, we are sorry to tay. if anything, increasing in width, and the water is doing an immense amount of damage in the vicinity. Vigorous efforts are being made by the inhabitants to close the breach, but there is little prospect of suecess for reveral days tocome, ‘The water in the streets in the region embraced between the New Canal and Canal Carondelet is gradually decreasing, It affords us gra- cation to make this statement. This receding of the Water is, in our opinion, owing to the fact that the ‘reaches in the north bank of the New Canal are nearly all closed, and that not so much water, in consequence. finds its way into the area between the two canals, while the water in this space is rapidly passing through sluices made in the south bank of Canal ( arondelet, and is carried into the Bayou 8t. John ‘This, we think. is the true cause of the decrease of the wat r, and is ‘Unquestionably the best plan fur draining the inundated Section mentioned. Let, then. the work of mending the north bank of the New Canal be vigorously prose: uted; let every crevice through which the water can ercape be closed and kept closed.

Presuming your hundred thousand readers will all be glad to hear something about the first trip of the steam” ship Oregon trom Panama to California, I write you from this point, though there is little news stirring in these diggings, and precious little air. Cooling zephyrs, you must know, are of quite as much consequence to letter-writers as news— particularly in these latitudes, ‘The Oregon, Capt. Pearson, arrived at Panama on the night of the 23d Feb, ber running time from Ni York being only 6534 days, At Panama she took in coal, water, and 260 passengers—77 in the cabins, and 173 in the steerage—and railed for San Blas on Tuesday, the 13th inst. at 6 o'clock, AM riving here to-day at 4 o'clock, P.

There aze no jeans of transportation at present, At Panama there are only two barks. one simall brig, and two small #chooners—both of which, by the way. are unseaworthy. ‘There vessels would uot take more than 480 persons, leaving on the Isthmus of Panama at least 1620 un- provided with means of getting up the coast, steamsLips Falcon and Creseent City, and a gi number of sailing vessels, are expected weekly to arrive at Chagres, with cager gold sevkers from the United States. Probably 1,000 or 2.600 more straugers will be added to the present population previous to the lst of April, With this addition. and the baleful influences of climate. it is almost eertain that epidemic ailto an alarming extent, and our countrymen be swept away as the dry re the #utumn wind. On the isthmus the cost of living is always very great, and the climate of the most cnervating description, Chagres—whatever may be said to the coutrary—is a very unhealthy, unsafe climate for siraugers. Gorgona and Cruces ate not quite so bad; but here there are no accommodations stall for anything like the number of persons above mentioned. At Pwnaima the climate is mach better than at either place; but there is absolutely no room for 2 0CO or 3,000 strangers, who, as things go. must remain several weeks. Here, with crushed hopes, in an unhealthy climate, little or no money, | fear too many of these bold pi find their graye, Un- like Mores of old, they will not be permitted to enjoy even aright of the promised land. Aias! there is no Pirgab hill. from which to gaze on its fair fields and golden fruits, There sad forebodings we trust may not-be realized— it is possible they may not. ‘The British steamer, which left Panama on the 28th of last month, carried the news to nearly all the ports on the Pacific coast, as fur south as Valparaiso, that a large number of persons were in waiting, desirous of obtaining passage to California, and willing to pay almost any price for it. Itis well known that a number of vessels were then at Guayaquil, Payta, Callao, and Valparaiso; but how many are already chartered for other voyages is, of course. unknown; and whether the owners or cap- tuins would be willing to run the risk ef losing their crews, and the chances of profitable voyagos elsewhere, by going to San Francisco at this season, is, to say the least, very questionable. On the other hand, a vessel whieh can carry 200 passengers could easily obtain (if the were now at Panam) at least $40,000 passage money; and many of these craft are so old they might afford to lose vessel and crew for that sum, If have no doub: but in the course of three or four months there will be more than enough vessels at Panama to supply the demand, and that the price of passage will be reduced from $200 and $800, to $50 or $75 fora passage to California. But whether there will be enough during the next three months to avert the threated calamity, is certainly problematical. I desire to give you all the facts in my possession concerning this matter, and you and all in- terested can. of eourse, draw your own conclusions. I ought to mention in this connection, though, that the “rainy season” on the Isthmus commences in April and continues until January. For persons of good con- stitutions, accustomed to fatigue and hardship, who take proper care of themselves, I don’t think there is anything very alarming to fear, even then, under ordi- nary circumstances; but huddled together, worried, flurried and exposed (as s majority will be, if the pre- sent state of things continue,) the rainy season may well prove a fresh cause of alarm. In relation to the railing vesecls from Panama, perhaps we ought to say this, too, viz:—they will, of course, be yery much crowded—the price of passage being from $150 to $300; they will be poorly fitted out for the trip, the food will be bad. the water scarce, the sleeping arrangements quite thocking, to say nothing of the smell of bilge water, &c, Under w broiling, baking, burning sun from thirty to one hundred days, the passengers will find their position anything buts pleasant one. As for the famous“ trade Winds,” I can assure you they are not to be relied on, Calms for days, and evea weeks, are things of common occurrence, when ships make only five, tenor twenty miles a day. Un der these circumstances, | would strongly advise all persons desirous of visiting California during the next tix months, to select some other route than that of the Isthmus of Panama, unless they can obtain in New ving, tickets for the Pacific Mail Steam- ompany’s steamers, If they can thus provide thanselves, the Isthmus route is anguestionably the best at all seasons of the It is shorter, time con- idered, cheaper; and notwithstanding the ciimate, afer and more agreeable, but always provided the pas- rage of the adventurer is secured on the Pacide in a steamer, If this is not practicable, Cape Horn or tho land route over the Rocky Mountains is preferable. Those coming by the way of Chagres, must also be careful and bring as little baggage as possible. ‘Two trunks, weighing 150 pounds each, at the outalde,— ‘Thoutands of dollars worth of baggage was lost by the passengers who came out in the Falcon and Croacent City. T am_ personally acquainted with gentlemen whose losses in this respect exceed $10,000 Upon ar- riving at Gorgona, they found it very difficult either to obtain mules or men, Baggage, it must be here understood, is almost al- ways transported on the backs of men, called * peons,”’ one of whom will easily carry 150 pounds. The gen- temen above referred to, however, saw their beloved “plunder” all started from the door of the hotel in this manner; but alas! only a small portion of it ever came tohand. The rascally “ peons’ had not been heard from when the Oregon sailed, though a strong armed force was out in pureuit of them. One of Lieut, Hanmersly's trunks was seen floating down the Cha- eves river, rifled of its contents; some few articles were. found ia on tke bank, but all that was valuable had vamosed. The natives, as a body, however, to do them justice, are remarkable for their honesty and integrity. For more than a century, goods, bag; e, and specie, have been transported across the Isthmus on the backs cfmules and “ peons,”? and loszes have always been of rare oceurrence. ‘Lhe British steamship company have always availed themselves of this means of transit, and though millions of dollars are yearly transported, | believe there never was a dollar lost, “Phe laws of the country are very fevere relative to theft. and justice, though slow, is remarkably certain, But I fear the contaminating influences ‘of unscrupulous Christian white men has perverted the natives, as it has the semi-civilized of other countries, Their present dis- honesty is to bo accounted for in no other way. P, S.—We shall remain hore a day or two taking in coul. I shall write you again before we leave W. A. B. San Bras, (Mextco,) March 24, 1849, Important from Colifornia—One Million of Dollars in Gold Dust at San Francisco—Arvival of the Cayuga at San Blas, Mezico. The steamship Oregon, Capt. Pearson, arrived at this famous port of the old Spaniards on Thursday after- noon, the 22d inst, at4ovclock. We left Panama on Tuesday, the 15th Inst., at 5 o’cleck A.M., with 250 passengers—77 in the cabins, 173 in the steerage. Upon our arrival, we found in port the Prussian ship Emma Heyn, Smorer, master, from New York, loaded with coal for PaclSe Mail Co.'s steamers; and also the brig Cayuga, Capt.

Our Brussels Correspondence, Buvsseis, April 6, 1819. Steam Communication with Antwerp, My Dear Sin :— I duly received your letter of 18th'January, 1849, by which you transmit interosting details of the progress made in the United States inthe eanse of Antwerp as a terminus in a grand postal communication between the American and the European continents, I have always been convinced that Bremen was. badly chosen point for running # line of steamships, inasmuch as the let- ters and travellers for Germany could reach their des- tination by the Belgian and Rhenan railways before the steamer could reach the quay at Bremen Haven, But youadd to this communication, Monsieur, that the opinion of amateurs and business men of New York, favors Havre in preference to Antwerp, and it is to- wards the French port that a company design directing a line of steamers as soon as they shall obtain the aid of the new administration of your republic, I have no disposition to deny the material'advantages cf Havre, Itismueh more readily approached from New York than Antwerp, (16 to18 hours of navigation) ; it possesses magnificent basins; @ railway direct to Paris and the centro of France ; and the commerce of Hayre with the United States is much greater than that { Antwerp. Yet, in pite of these real and incontesti- ble advantages, I believe Antwerp is preferable, because it possesses superior advantages, net only for the trans- portation of letters, that are incontestible, but also the number of passengers it will obtain, and the qu: tity of merehandize it will find to transport. It is only necessary to cast your eyes upon the chart in order to comprehend what'l have stated, Antwerp occupies @ position equally central, and finds itself at she head of a system of railways, so well combined that one enn say its port isat equal distances from Paris, Cologne, Atasterdata, and from London, for steam com: munication ; and that for travellers, a8 well as for the correspondence between the two continents, Antwerp, by means of its railways, has become the veritable port of embarkation for ull central Europe. and for a popu- lation of forty to fifty millions of inhabitants, if wo count Austria, Without doubt Havre is nearer to Paris than Ant- werp, not only because Havre is nearer to New York than‘our port. but also by the geographical distauce But this disadvantage is largely compensated; for Ant- werp. by the proximity of London, Rotterdam, Am- sterdam, Cologne, Berlia, Hamburg, Strasburg, Frank- fort, Leipsic, Baslo. ‘Trieste, Vienna, &c., &c., cities with which if communicates daily by railway or steam- boat, whilst Havre communicates directly with Paris only. When the system ot French railways shall be completed, Antwerp will be nearer to Lyons and Mar- seilles, by way of Rheiins, than Havre, by Paris, I believe, Monsieur, that these facts, which | have dis- cussed as briefly as possible, and which you will clearly appreciate, upon casting your eyes over the chart uc- companying this letter, will serve to counterbalance in the minds of practical men, the advantages more appa- rent than real of the port of Havro, and will induce them to study more profoundly the real advantages of- fered by Antwerp, and Belgium in general, for @ postal line of steamships. But if to advantages purely geographical, I add, for their attention, those which my country offers under @ int of view industrial, commercial and political, I lieve that I shail easily convince Americans that Antwerp has a right to hope fer their preference in de- termining. hereafter, upon the terminus of a postal line between America and Europe. Belgium, you know as well as I, Monsicur, isan es- sentially industrial country. She possesses the greater art of the great industrial developements of England Thus, Ghent manufactures cottons upon a great scale Flanders is renowned for the manufacture of linen cloths, laces, and all the stuffs where linen and cotton are the prime materials; Hamault produces carpeting, porcelain, delph, iron and steel works, and coal in abun- dance; the province of Namur produces cutlery re- nowned throughout the continent, and perhaps as eco- nomical as that of Sheffield; the province of Liege is celebrated for its fabrics of cloths and stuffs of wool; for its manufactures of arms of war and of luxury, for its metallurgic establishments (of iron, brass, zinc and lead) ; in short, Brussels, Matines, and Antwerp are celebrated for their production of laces, silks, and cot- ton prints. Belgium, then, offers in itself all the elements of an extended commerce and ita attendant relations with all Ameriea—relations already established, and which need only to be developed by means of more rapid and frequent communication ‘The central position of Antwerp, between Holland, England. Germany, and the North’ of France, made it the entrepot for the commerce of Central Eurepe when this port belonged to the French empire. If it has lost ‘a part of its natural advantages, it is owing entirely tq the customs restrictions imposed upon commerce by all governments, including thut of Belgium; but the ideas which have originated the restrictive aystem begin to give place to wiser ideas concerning the true rosults of the shackles imposed upon the freedom of the mutual relations of countries, Belgium, by its position and by the mere force of circumstances, will be obliged very soon to practice commercial liberty. Already she has made a great step in abrogating, like England, the im- position upon grains. France, on the contrary, seems to draw iteelf farther and farther from these idoas—to throw itself more than ever into the prohibitive system. Belgium will offer, then, under the head of commercial facilities, advantages that France cannot give without rescinding all her commercial and industrial policy. Under the head of purely political, Belgium offers, likewite, advantages superior to those of Havre. the treaty of 1839, Belgium was di perpetuity, and its ports open to all nations; the postal service would thus have nothing to suffer, even in time of war, if it was established between Antwerp and N’ York, This consideration is very important, especially at this epoch, and should strongly influence the deci- sion of the American Congress. Now, Monsieur, resting the question upon the point of practical execution, I believe that those who intend applying to Congress to obtain a subsidy for a postal line to Havre would ds better to apply for the port of Antwerp, touching at Southampton, As compensation for the difference of distance, and more, the Belgian government appears disposed to allow either an annual subsidy during a certain number ot years, or equivaleat advantages in the changes to which navigation is ordi- narily subject. 1 believe myself able to assure you that these advantages or subsidies will rise at least to $100 0U0 per annum, (500,000 francs) a sui which is certainly not tobe disregarded. It will perhaps not be impossible to obtain an equivalent advantage from the cextral government of Germany at Franktort; but for this it would be necessary that a positive demand be made for Antwerp, and tlat an official step should be made, powerfully, in time and place. ] As to the commerce of Antwerp,I have communi- cated your letter and my projet of reply to some of the principal houses, and they have assured me that they will voluntarily take an active part in the formation of capital, and! doubt not we will find the same concur- rence in the principal industrial centres of the country, where they begin to understand the importance of facile and direct relations with the United States. I believe that these few details will suffice, Monsicur, to opgage those persons who interest themselves in the establishment of a postal communication between New York and the continent, to study attentively the ad- vantages of the position of Antwerp as a point of do- barkation upon the continent. As for myself, I am completely at your and their disposition, for agitating here, to secure the suecess of the enterprise. Accept. | pray you. my dear sir, assurance of the per- fect consideration with which | am, Your very devoted servan’ AD LE HARDY DE D. P. Banuypr, Esq., Few York. Our Tunis Correspondence, Tunis, April 18, 1849. Affairs in Tumis—The Regular and Irregular Soldiers— Their Punishment by the Bey, §c. §c. A horrible affair took place at Bardo, (the Bey’s residence,) a few days since, which, originating in a cireumstance of a trifling nature, may yet lead to results of a more tragical and exciting character than those which have already occurred. The Bey, returning from his country palace, on arriving near the gates of Bardo, the guards, composed of « Zuavies,” (irregular troops,) turned out to salute him. The cavalry guard, which preceded the Bey, rode up and fell in line with the ‘ Zuavies,” to pay a parting salute, as they were not to pass the iron gates. In doing so the horse of a cavalry officer trod on the foot of a “Zuave.” He re- proached him for his carelessness; the officer made an angry reply, and cut the “ Zuave” on the head. The Bey having observed the disturbance, as he passed rapidly by in his carriage, on descend- ing at his palace sent an officer to enquire the cause. By the time the officer had reached the it, BEAULIEU. gate, the “ Zuavies” and regular soldiers had got into a general row. This being reported to the Hey, he ordered some two or three hundred of his guards to get under arms, and shoot every ‘Zuave” they met. kill After come firing, in which three were d end wounded on both sides, seventy-five Zuavies’ were arrested and confined until next morning, when they were conducted into the hall of justice, each one held by two eoldiera, The Bey, manifesting by his countenance and language the most violent passion, pointed out. five of the unfortunates, whom he ordered to b immediately shot; but, at the Cag yeh of the ‘ Lapatappa,” his prime minister, he directed them to be bow etrung in a private room, fearing that a public exe- cution might excite the people to revolt, The re- muining seventy he ordered to reeeive one thou- ee sand bastinadoes each, and then to be taken in chuins to the “ caracea” (the galleys.) Ihave not heard that these miserable people dared ty utter one word in their own defence. But respect for the truth and hie Highness’s great humanity, com- pel me to state that having observed among the privoners an elderly man and a boy, he very ¢on- siderately ordered that they should receive but five hundred each, so that in fact there were but sixty-nine thousand bustinadoes administered, which gave employment toa number of mamelukes for the whole of the day. The Bey then ordered the chiefs of the * Zuavies” to repair to Bardo, and reproached them for the want of subordination their people, and enjoined a more rigid di:cipline in future. You are aware that there exists a great jealousy and hatred between the Zuavies” and regular soldiers, which this affair cannot fail to aggravate; und as the former are a ferocious and bloodthirsty race, it is believed that they will not be tardy in seeking their revenge. There are, it is suid, about 20,090 to 25,000 in the regency, and are employed, whea not on a tour collecting taxes, as guards in the fortresses.

Great confidence is expressed in their ability. ‘The commission has aa escort of 250 men, the same number with which our ommissioner is provided. This force is considered necessary as # protection against the Indians. ‘Lhe Indian insurrection has not been crushed, but, on the contrary, is carried on more vigorously than ever, A letter from San Luis Potosi. says :— “The situation in which this city and its vicinity are placed by the invasion of the mountaineers, is highy criticnl. ‘Ihore who sompose that force are no more than @ handful of malefuctors. highway robbers and other criminals, who destroy all that comes in their way. The towns and villages complain bitterly of the aputhy of the authorities, of the incapacity of General Burtumente, who is shut up at Queretaro, and of the inertness and inactivity of General Uraga, who, lyiag at San Luis de la Pax, is waiting for the Indians to come and defeat him,’? A party of 100 Indians of the Sierra, attacked 20 of the National Guard stationed in Le Mision de la Pal- mas, captured the place, sacked the church, and shot two persons. In the neighborhood of Jalapa new mines have been discovered, which are about to be worked. ‘The celebrated guerilla chief, Cenoblo, has been im- prisoned in the Castle of Ulua, for being concerned in the murder of D, Manuel Gareia and D.
