EN NO. 5485. MORNING EDITION---T 1849. ESDAY, JUNE 12, & Late and Interesting from Texas, [From the New Orleans Delta, June 3.) The steamship Fanny, Captain Scott, arrived esterday. She was from Port Lavaca the 29th; rom Galveston the 30ih uk. We are indebted to Captain S. for the journals of these cities—we sup- pose Lavaca is a city. We make the fellowing extracts from the Corpus Christi Star, of Saturday lust, May 26:— Since our list we have heard of no frosh depreda- tions by the Indians in thissection. ‘The horses stolen Trom San Patricio appear to have been taken by a baad of white thieves, mixed with Mexicans and negroes. They were pursued by a party of the citizens. who kept them im view for ten miles, but being badly mounted, were unable to overtake them. A gentleman in this town has received a letter from ®@ Mexican friend of his at Laredo, which gives an ac- count of atencontre with the Indians near that place He says that a party of fifteen Camanches arrived at the Rancho Capitaneno and carried off a girl about ‘twelve years old, Her father and relations immediately culled Logether the inhabitants of the other rauchos, and pursued them; but being badly mounted, their force'gradually diminished until there were oaly eight men left, who, being friends of the unfortunate cap- tive, and excited by a feeling of anger against those atrocious Curibs, resolved to pursue and punish thei severely. On the 7th inst, they overtook themat a @ called Magueyitos (near the old Raacho de Do- 8, in the Laredo district), and, after fight of more “han un hour, succeeded in rescuing the captive girl, ‘The Indians had three killed, and the Mexicans tores wounded—the former losing all taeir plunder and horses. Since that day the Indians have returned in force, and now range the line with pertect freedom robbing the ranchos and destroying everything they ean lay their hands on. A Mexican named Resendes arrived yosterday from Matamoras, in company with four families, who intend settling here. On Wednesday evening they encainped this side of the Arroyo Colorado, aud while the men Were out. getting their cattle -togethor, a party of In- dians attucked the camp and carried ‘off four women ud a femule child, two years ‘They took an old woman, whipped ber neatly to death, and let her go. When the men returned, the Indians had been gone some time, aud they saw no more of them or their unfortunate captives ‘The same man reported that the old and extensive Rancho de Rosalia, above the town of Santa Rita, on the Rio Grands, had been entirely broken up, and the inbavitants were making their way to Corpus Christi The whole Rio Grande country, with the exception of the large towns, is said to be complete.y deserted, wad the Indians roam at will, killing man aud beast wherever they mect them. The iahabitunts were cast- ing longing eyes to the government for relief, and wo ‘ope it may arrive before it is too Late. esterday two Mexicans, belonging to Colonel Kin- wey’s Rancho del Ovo, were shot on the west bank of the Nucoes, just above Sun Patricio, and onv of tue, it is thought, mortally wounded. The persons who shot them are said to be whites, and doubtless belong to ‘the same gang who stole the horses at Sau Patricio. ‘The Western Tevian gives the following extract from @ letter written at Loredo, by a respectable gentleman, well known in ‘Texas, but whose name is not meu- tioned:—The cholera has swept like a whirlwind over Laredo, leaving scarcely a family that is not ia moura- jug It raged for twenty days, and then began to dis- appear, although it still lingers, there being '& case to- ‘day. About two hundred Mexicans have died. The company of the Ist Infantry stationed here lost ‘eight out of thirty, and # ‘company of emigrants styled the Essex Mining Company, from Boston, buried five of their number here, and [ much fear will lose more on their route. They have lett for Lampascus—they numbered thirty men whon they arrived a few days ago” This letter confirms the report relative to the loss of Captain Burbank’s men by cholera, published In our lust. I'he writer says :—‘The distress and desolation here beggar description—the panic was great, aud the people rushed from the town to the rauchos in the neighborhvod, hich only made the matter worse, wud they were daily Prought back to die, the premonitory stages having ‘deen neglected from their distance from medical aid.” He farther says that there are many houses vacant— the inbabitants having all died—one fumily in particu- ler he mentions, which consisted: of nine persons, of whom eight died. ‘The San Antonio Texian mentions a fearful increase of supposed suieide. though we doubt whether so many sudden deaths are justly chargeable to this cause. [hat per says :—“A recklessness of life unprecedented. Pop exniuited iteelf in many instances; the horrors of death, or the fearful consequences of a hereafter, seems to make but @ slight impression upon the minds of ‘many, who are daily rushing headlong’ into eternity Within the last tour or five days not less than five, and some report seven. bodies have been fouud in the San Antonio river and the ditch leading from the Alamo to the head of the river. supposed to have been drowned Whe names of two only been s#scertained —Daven- port und Frazer, the latter employed in this office.” ‘The Victoria Advocate states that the cotton crop on the Guadaiupe is “as fine as it can be—the injury done by the frost is scarcely perceptible—and if the season continues fuyorable, and the worm lets it alone, plan. ters will make at least two bales of cotton to the acre ” ‘The editor of the Western Texian learns. by an arri- yal trom Fredericksburg. that seven or eight huadred Camanche Indians are now at that place, who exhibit every disposition to be friendly, and desire that they mey be permitted to trade with the Americans un- molested. Ex-Govsrnor H. Ruanels declines being a candidate te represent the Western Congressional District of ‘Texas in the next Congress of the United States Mr. Arthur Lynn, who has tilled the office, pro. tem., during the absence of Mr. Kennedy, has been perma- nently appoiated British Consul at this port. Among the deaths at San Antonio is that of a son of Major Babbitt of the army. 5. State of Affairs at New Orleans, (From the New Orleans Bulletin.) The most exaggerated reports continue to be pub- Tisned in the Northern papers, regarding the crevasse and the overflow in this ¢ity; aud to « person igaorant of the facts and circumstauces of the case, it would seem as if a cataract like that of Niagara had suddenly burst upon the city, carrying rapid and overwhelming destruction to everything in its path, and causing the inbabitants to flee in the utmost consternation, for the safety of their lives We have ourselves received let- ters. and have seen similar ones addressed to others, expressing the greatest anxiety on the subject, and urging an immediate abandonment of the city In order that the subject may be properly understood abroad, and to relieve the minds of those who may have friends in New Orleans, or business relations with the city, we make the following statement. with all the de- tails of which our citizens are of course perfectly fe- auiliar, ‘The Mississippi runs through a ridge of land formed originally by its own deposits, which gradually declines aa it recedes from the baoks.on either side. This ridge however, though higher than the ground farther from the river, is not high enough to keep the water within its banks in seasons of flood, and, in consequence, an embankment, or levee, is raised, the top of which is in- tended to be above the highest floods. This levee, how- ever, is sometizes not substantially made, or from some other defect or being undermined by the water. the latter makes a breach or crevasse in it, which, though small at first, rapidly enlarges, from the heavy rush of water through it, and, unless promptly checked and closed, frequently becomes unmanageable, and impossible to be stopped. The great body of water which thus flows with overwhelming force through the break, naturally seeks, first, the low lands and swamps which exist @ short distance back from the river, which are gradually filled up, until the whole country, ove aud below the erevasse, becomes overflowed, aod continues to rise to greater or less extent, as the water may be able to escape and diffuse itself more or less freely, into channels, Jakes, or other outiets that may exist in the rear, The crevasse from which New Orleans is now suf- fering is fourteen miles above the city by the course of the river. and the break through the levee, we uader- stand, is to the extent of 400 feet, through which the water is rushing with great foree on an average depth of not less than ten ‘eet. All the country in the neigh- borhood of it, and all the adjoining plantations were soon submerged, and the swamp in the rear was like- -wise filled with water, gradually makio way down / towards the city and the swawp io its rear, and as this Jatter filled, the water steadily backed up into the rear #treets of the city, and has Kept gradually swelling higher and higher towards the more thickly built por- tions, uni ic bas reached in some places within six or seven squares of the river, it being borne in mind that, the streets are highest near the river, and that the drainuge of the city contrary to (hatof Northern towns is from and not towards the ri Our distant re iat ones see from this state- ment, that ail ides of logs of lite from the flood (whieh appears to have been *o strongly impressed on their imagination) is perfectly ridiculous, as the greatest rise of the water in tbe reat of the city, never exceuded Fe- yen inches in any twenty-four hours, and it is believed it has now attained itsmuximam height, and eeapes by Lake Ponchartrain w+ rapidly as it is supplied through the crevasse, Indeed. se the last twenty- four hours, there bas beeu a clight fall ‘The business portion of the city has not been at all fnvaded by the water, and no expectation that it will be.

Heracp :—The article in pd a6 it. the ., &e.,” with the New York to ports Fy ¢ of Good Hope, has in- duced me to ask you to place before your readers the following facts, urrived at from actual experience, and calculations from the highest authorities, and from the results of seven yeard of investigation. Prior to any proposition before Congress fur # railroad across at Pa- nama, | took the ground that a communication oetween the Atlantic and Pacific across any part of M from ico, could not have business sufficient to sustain it; and that such a communication any where, could not be of use or benefit to us, unless located so far north, that b: the sphere of the globe the distance would be so muo! reduced. as would force a change of route for the com- merce and intercourse of Europe with Asia; aud so far north, that the climate would not dumage and destroy animal and vegetable products, so that the great Mis- sissipp! basin would haye Europe on the one side, and on the other side all Asia for markets; and I am ready with facts aud figures to sustain my position. The figures from which you speculate, all of which are erroneous, being not your own, and for which, of course, Fees Bre not responsible, are well understood by those who are acquainted with thesubject, and mislead those only who have not examined it all. Before going further, { will state, that I am not op- posed to a proposition for the construction of any means of transit at Panama, or across any other part of Mexico. Were there fifty canals or railroads to-mor- row, or should the Pacitic burst its bounds, and mingle its waters with its sister Atlantic, and open @ space for an unobstructed passage, sufficient for the marine of all the world, it could in uo way interfere with my project or plans; but. on the contrary, it would prove aud sus- tain the position | have taken, But such erroneous statements put forth to the world, as based upon actual calculation of actual distances, sanctioned, commented and speculated upon, by the Press generally, are made to injure my plans,'by misleading the opiiions of the many who do not calculate for themselves, or have not made veyages to end from the places named, therefore I notice them. My figures will show that no commerce from our Atlantic slope or from Europe, to any part of Asia, can be curried across at Panama, any part of Mexico or even the southern part of our own territory, and a road, if built, must depend for its support entirely upon the intercourse‘and exchanges between the two sides. The mountain range trom Cape Horn to the Arctic Ocean, which divides both of these continents, their produc! commerce and all, prohibits an exchange of comm dities, because each produces the same, except manu- factured goods, Now. all the commerce of the Pacific which could possibly be diverted from its present route to a road at Panama (not including the present temporary rush of emigrants to Californi: brace but 18,952 tonnage er annum, as appears from Treasury reports and table of British ae eh ‘The emigration to California will soon be reduced, and confined to those who go with their families, to re- main, and they, to savo expenses, will go around the ‘This 18,032 tonnage, and the preses be facilitated by, but it would moe cepeeer ess met A good wagon or plank road would, no doubt, be u: ful, and for several years give a good return for the vestment for its construction; but it appears to m that there is one point on this subject which has been entirely overlooked. Now, from New York, the centre of commerce, on the Atlantic coast to Chagres is 2,500 miles—a long voyage. almost as fur as to Europe—and from Panama to San Francisco, a still longer voyage, of near 4,000 miles, and I ask what difference it ean make to uny passenger from New York, bound to San Fran- cisco, whether he is tive or ten hours in crossing the Isthmus? It certainly cau make but five hours dif- ference in the long voyage of more than 6,000 miles, and the same with merchandise. ‘The position which | have taken is, that a railroad, cF canal, across any part of Mexico, could be of no use to us; that the produce of the Pacific slope and ocean, except thegold and cll, cannot be brought to us for « market, and the gold end oil we cam purchase only with such articles as the wants of the people there require, and which we may be enabled to furaish in competi- tion with other nations; the avails of labor must be re- turned to where produced, aad there used, so that if we take their gold and oil, it is to us an import, not a product—the same as if we purchased from Russia or bina—not so with the settlers in ‘‘exas, or lowa, the products of whose labor must come to us for a market, and be exchanged for commodities which their wants demand. and cannot be supplied from auy ether source. ‘The fruits of all their toil is, to the nation, a product, @ source of wealth and power. If! am right, and | believe | am, what is the object, ‘and what the gain. in facilitating and urging emigra- tion to California ? If the produce of laboris wealth to a nation, is not any man thus urged off alos? My statements are not “based upon exaggerated re- ports of climate, &e” Every man acquainted with the commerce of the world, must know that sucha climat as that of Panama is ruinous te animal and vegetable products, At New Orleans, which is more than 20 deg. north of Panama, the aunual total destruction from climate is immense; and shipments can be made to Eu- rope und the Northern ports for only three to four mouths of the year. On cern and whesi shipped to Eu- deterioration is 25 per cent; on bacon 15 per nd all commodities more or leas injured. This is arubject which wants no argument; aud if the gold gathering should occupy millivns, we cannot supply them with food across Panama—even if the climate would not destroy, the heavy expense of traushipuents and transit would be a sufficient inducement to go oa the side near to, and produce for their waats But we will suppore, as your speculations would load us, that “ Panama becomes at once theentrepot of the whole world, and the gate through which the immense commerce of the Atlautic and Pacific must pass,” [ ack, what can wegain by it? Can wecortrol it? ‘Can our commerce be increased byit? All our commerce cast of the Cape of Good Hope and west of Cape Horn, including the whole fishery, amounts to an annual ag- gregate of exports and imports of $25,107,943 ; while the commeree of Europe, with the same re sions, amounts to an annual aggregate of exports and imports of about $250,000,000. “Now, allow it possible (bat my figures will show it to be impossible), to make Panama the entrepot of this vast commerce; I ask. what be- nefit could it be to these United States? And I ask the wople and the capitalists of Boston, of New York, of hiladelphis. of Baltimore, and the people of all these United Sta: re you willing to furnish meaus to build up outside and out of yous country, a city to be the depot for the commerce of the world? | A commerce in which you ean participate no more in its benefits, than you d@ on its present route around the Cape of Good Hope? Will you, at your own expense, attempt to di- vert from your own country a commerce which eom- mands wud controls the world? And I ask the people of the South and the southern statesmen parcicularly, are you willing to furnish your quota of means, to draw to your coast the entire marine force of the world, to wateh your motions and interests, and to gard a commerce in which they cannot participate? Could your speculations be realized, the result must be as | have described it; but I will come to actual dis- tances, which must settle the whole question :— You say trom Liverpool to Canton, via the Cape of Good Hope. i8....... « 18,000 miles, And I make from China to England, via the Cape of Good Hope, during the north- east monsoon, From Macao, through the Chinese sea, to the Equator. . se... see eee se eee es 1,790 miles (North-east monsoon, blowing with force— . strong current setting to the south-west.)

Your obedient servant, A. WHITNEY. Miss Fanny Elesler Wikeff in London: Napoleon Louis Bonaparte, First President of Franc dstographical and Personal Sketches, including a V to the Prcnve at the Castle of Ham. By Heury Wikow. New York, Putnam. ‘This isa book introduced to the English public by Mr. Chapman, the publisher —and full to overflowing of that fierce and furious writing which appears to be so dear to American authorship—but on a« subject which the recent ‘ch of events has endowed with great publie interest. Of the suthor himself—or of the execution of his work—-it is impossible to say mach thatis favorable. Histemper and temerities remove him pale of moderate sympathies; we have no wish to chafe his anger—and to correst his misiufor- mation on things English and European, would take up too much of our time and space. Patience has its limits —and Mr. Wikeff is just the sert of man to find them out. His hatred of England is cordial and intense. He hates her institutions, her history, her race, her litera- ture. Shebas in his eyes no redeeming point. His own country he avows has only one great misfortune— the use of & common language with England. Why, hen, does not Mr. Wikoif abide by his aneestral Rus- ian? In so fierce a republican, it is rather amusing to find such devotion to the Imperial family of France. Carlyle bimself could not worship more enthusiasti- eally at the shrine of its chief than does the “ Ameri- can citizen.” Hatred of England and laadation of “Napoleomic ideas” are quite compatible; but we rather marvel to flad the two im counexion with a de- mocracy so red as Mr. Wikeff professes Our author advertises himself as an intimate friend of every member of the Bonaparte family, and proves his assertion by here reportiug private conversations held in the secresy of their homes, by those illustrious personages. Such services should not go unrewarded, and the least that the President of the young republic can do for his laudator, is to make him eaves-dropper to some foreign court—St. Petersburgh, for example ‘The position of present and the prospect of future jend a striking interest to all that pertains and it may be worth while here to devote @ few lines to them and their reiation- thips.

By right of primogeniture all ‘the descendants of Lucien would take precedence of the heirs of Louis; but, as is well known, Louis was in disgrace when his imperious brother had the order of succession to the empire fixed—and he and his descendants were ex- eluded, How far this law. founded on @ whim, is bind- ing in such a new state of things as the present, is @ question which the partizans of the family are begin- Ding to ask themselves, Lenis Napoleon is the only remaining male member of the families entitied by the Jawe of the empire (28 Floréal, an. xt. and 6 frimaire, an. x11) to the succession.

Before Judge Vanderpoel, Jone 11.—William Agate ve. Rufus F, Hibbard et al. ‘This was an action on # promissory note for $330. ‘There were two defences set up, to wit:—want of no- tice of protest, inasmuch as the notary himself did not praise the note for payment, it having been presented his clerk. Secondly, usury. Upon tho first point his honor charged that it having been shown the clerk who presented the note for payment was duly author- ired by the notary, and that due notice of protest was given, in his opinion that was sufficient to charge the ependant on that branch of the case; but the great{point of the defence was usury—upon this point the facts are these:—Joseph Agate, the brother of the plaintiff, made loan of $250, and received the note in suit as colla- teral reourity. He afterwards delivered the note to his brogber, the plaintiff; and the first question is, whether that relieves the transaction from usury. Upon that question I charge you that if it was liable in the first instance to usury, that taint follows it into the hands of athird person. The only remaining question for you to decide isas to the credit to be given to the plaintiff's and defendants’ witnesses. There is un- doubtedly a great conflict of testimony between them; but that isa matter within your province altogether to decide. If you think the weight of evidence is on the part of the plaintiff, you ought to bring ina ver- dict in-his favor. If, on the contrary, you think the evidence preponderates in favor of detendant, you will find for him. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for $352 9-100. Before Judge Sandford.
