OUR WICARAGUA CORRESPONDENCE. San Juan pet Noare, July 4, 1553. Ceébration of the Fourth of July—Departure of | Americans and American Capital from the City—Controversy between the Transit Com- pany and the Town— Agriculture onthe Increase, tn Consequence of the Adoption of American Im- plements, §c—President Chamorro and the Transit Company—Absurd demand of the Tran- ait Company on the Local Government of San Juan. I wrote you my last communication from this place amid the tiring of artillery from the town and Punta Arenas, courteously answered by the royal mail steamer Med way, with which, together with the wenal home accompaniments of fireworks, &c, we are celebrating the great American anniversary. During my residence here [ have witnessed the transfer of the government of the town from Mos- quito to the inhabitants—the adoption of a republi- ean constitution and form of government, and a rea- sonable prospect of the permanent establishment of afree city. Tosay that the experiment has failed will be to anticipate the future; but to predict that ifthe port should be converted from its present anomalous position into a recognized independent city, with all the privileges appertaining thereto, that it would be a failure, is simpiy an exercise of ordipary juigment; for the material is not now here, the capital, enterprise and iutelligence out of which the present government grew, has been or is “fast being withdrawn. Witnessed the withdrawal of about one hundred Eps age amajority of whom were Americans, and of fifty thousand dvilars capital, these unfortunate results of . well-digesied and reasonable scheme, frem which, bad it pare oo el cherished by the government of the Unit states, which had en- couraged 't, might have arisen circumstances similar to thoxe which preceded the independence of Texas, and have led t) events equally ee A power had begun to gather at this port which was already felt throughout Central America; but out of an unwise management of the monopoly of the Transit arose an unkind ‘and entirely unprovoked feeling toward those located im the town, whose interests were identical with those of the Transit Compauy, which, with the uni- versally acknowledged power of monied infiuence, | brought down upon this little but admirable govern- ment the wrath of the great democratic government of the north. Mr. Everett's language, in his speech in the Senate of the United States, March 21. * that it is an Ame- rican twwn,’ was true at the time of its utterance; bat its glory is deparung, and its epitaph will soon be written—Here lies the remains of au American r movement, crushed by that insuperable ene- ‘By to progress, ‘* monopoly.” The local government still exists, and is much stronger than it was a few months since, and its treasury is solvent, yet the popular voice is in favor of some flag, no matier what, which will give us at Jeast a shadow of protection. ‘The question as to who has gained in this unequal controversy between the Transit Company and the town is daily being solved. The former chore not aa alliance with those connected with them by the ties of country and of interest, and a third party, seeing her advantage, steps iu and 1s evabled to demund bet- ter terms in her quarrel with the Company than she otherwise could have done. rich through the Transit, and has concluded to forego her usual pastime of revolutions, and devote her at- tevtion to the means of regeneration. Under the enlightened and liberal sway of President Chamorro agriculture is on the increase. He has offered pre- miums varying from two hundred to five thoasand -dollare for the largest quantity of coffee brought to * market during the next three years. The increased intercourse of the merchants of Ni- ua with the United States, consequent upon the facilitation of travel, has led to the iutroduction of American agricultural aud mining implements, and soon the State will be able to regain her natural vantage ground, and compete with ali the others in reputation abroad. Chamorro commenced his admin- istration by declining the magniticent sword present- ed to him by the Transit Company, and has re- fused to ratify the contract or compromise made by Mr. Maanin; s he capita for transit passengers. e last propo- Hition a the Company, to pay three dollars per capita, has been accepted by Chamorro, but he pended to his acceptance couditions so onerous it 1 do not think the Company will acceed to ‘The Transit Company have demanded of the local rnment of San Juan the sum of $8,000, as indem- for the destruction of those buildiogs which were destroyed. 1 may have occasion to revert to this affair again, but enough for this time.

The county of Bristol, if not quite so famous in Massachusetts history as some other portions of the State, is nevertheless a place of good reputation.

Bristol is an old county, some of its towns having been ceitied more than two centaries, and the county dates from 1645. There the great Indian war, in which Philip bore himself so heroically, broke out. The rivers are famous, particularly the Taunton and Pawtucket, the former being noted for ite alewives. Water power is abundant; it has a large maritime coast. The soil is not, wenerally g, of a high qaality, but the labor and skill of man atone for the depres in original power, Aron ore is largely found, and is extensively used in ammanofactures. Bristol has given two Governors to the State, Mar. ous Morton and John Henry Clifford. Whe latwer an is a native of Ruode Island, and came to setts more than twenty years since. The county used to be strongly democratic, and I believe ‘went that way in 1x40. Of lute years it had been on the coalition side in the popular vote.

In the matter of property makes a better show than in that of population. The valuat‘ori of 1840 showed ber pi to be $19,493,685 84; in 1850 it amounted to $39,243,560—rather more than doubling. Fail River took the lead in property as in population, increasing from $2,552,121, in 1840, to | $6,091,250 in 1860 — New Bedéord’s rate of gain was not much different from this. She had $6,149.520 in 1840, which in ten years had in- creased to $14,489,266. Taunton had risen from $2,200,401 80 to $3,701,472. Freetown, which had experienced the largest decline of its pe pens | losing about one-eighth of its people, added consid- | erably to ite property, rising trom $387,783 50 to ; $565.096. Fairhaven increased from $1,547,771 80 | to $3,248,990, though its increase in population was emal'. Dartmouth, which lost in people, gained so | largely in money that in 1850 she had ‘i 279,942, being an increase of some $1,236,000. A!) the other towns that declined in peovle gained in property. As the poet says: “Wealth aceumulates aud men decay.” Westport rose from $635,355 40 to $1,451,080; Pawtucket from $539,659 to $916.587; Attleborough from $00,6%4 to $1,038,000. No other town had much overseven hundred thousand dollars, and most | of them were under that amount. ¢ The distnbution of property in Bristol, in 1851, in some important itews, was as follows:—Number of dwelling houses, 10,453; of barns, 5,273; of other buildings, of the value of $20 and upwards, 2,092; of superficia! feet of wharf, 2,105,421, of which New | Bedtord had almost three fifths, Fall River almost one-fifth, and Fairhaven almost one-twelith, the | remainder being mostly divided between Taunton, Freetown, Dartmouth, Westport, Sor tand Digh- ton; superticial feet of salt works, 366,526, more than four-fifts of which belong to Dartmouth; shops of all kinds, 1,375; and wunage, 98,591. The amount ot bank and insurance stock was $2,231,960; of money at interest, $3,515,755; of money on hand, $1,016,435; of United States and other public secu- | mites, $117,250; of every persons whole stock in trace, $6,626,001; of raiiroad stocks, and stuck in | canals aud turupikes, $1,252.670; of shares in other | corporations, $912,577; of ounces of plate, 13,365, | Fall River beating New Bedford bhaud-omely in this material of elegant lite, and the two, with Taunton, almost monopolizing what there is of it in the | county. Ot ‘agricultural property the following are from | the official reti -ns:—Acres of salt marsh, 2,381; | acres of English acu upland mowing, 39,092; of tresh Tmead: Ww, 9,938; of tillage land, 18,055; of pasturage, 70,703; of woodland, 109,593; of unimproved land, | 43,166: of land covered with water, 18,089; aud used for roads, 7,177 acres. There were 5,500 horses, 3,211 oxen, 9,085 cows, 3,207 steers and heifers, 6,028 sheep, and 6,343 swine. The principal agricultural articles there produced were Indian corn, 169,708 bushels; oats, 50,044; rye, 25,445; barley, 6,027; wheat, 170; hay, 33,765 tons; potatoes, about 609,000 bushels. The other agricul- tural productions are wool, wood, timber, millet, but- ter, cheere, honey, wax, esculent vegetables of all kinds known to tbe climate, milk, flax, various des criptions of fruit, beef, pork, &c. | ristol stands high among our manufacturing countea, She has 52 cotton factories, with 203,663 spindles, and valued at $2,095,689. Of the entire capital thus invested, Fall river has more than half, and also the same proportion of spindles. New bedford ranks next, after which comes Taunton, and | then Pawtucket. Attleborough has the fifth place | on the list, and Dighton and Seekonk are sixth and and teventh. The other establishments are on a | comparatively small scale. | The wovllen factories are few in number, and | the amount of capital invested in them is but small. | There are two ropewalks at New Bedford and Fair- haven; two rolling mils; nine copper, brass and iron foundries ; six machine shops, with capital to the amount of a quarter of a millon ; three silk and calico printing establishments; three paper mills ; 16 tanneries ; 75 grist mills; 61 saw mills; 24 oil | factories ; other mills, 36. Of miscellaneous articles there are made, hollow ware and castings, brassware, metal buttons, clocks, watches, jewelry, trunks, railroad cars, tin ware, leather, boots aud shoes, straw bonnets and hats, straw braid, bricks, Britannia ware, suuff avd segars, lumber, blocks and pumps, hooks and eyes, shuttles and shuttle mountings, paper boxes, threau spools, spectacles, glass buttous, spectacle glasses, buckles, medals, weavers’ reeds, sashes aud blinds, hoops of #ll kinds, articles of sculpture, stone cut- tings, shingles, salt, linseed oil, sperm oil, menhaden oil, carding machiues, axes and other edge touls, cutlery, tacks and brads, agricultural implements of all kinds, scientific instruments, sperm candles, tal- low candles, suap, candle boxes, oll casks, har- poons, lances, nails, boilers, harness, saddles, chairs, cabmet ware, mechanics’ tools, wearing ap- parel, blank books, vessel's sails, marble, black- smite’s articles, millwright articles, building stone, anchors, Florence braid, hogsheads, casks, barrels, | kegs, baskets, grave stones, bar irov, whips, woodeu | ware, gloles, cotton twine, hames, Llacklead cru: bles, stone and earthenware, machivery, lead k bain knobs, clay stove linings, black lead pots, &e., &e. | _ Bristol is the whaling port of Massachusetts, and New Bedford is the whaling port of Bristol. I have given the tonnage of New Bedford as I find it in the last State official returns, but I think it is mach be- low the reality, for if correct, then that flourishing | place lost largely in shipping, in the five years pre- ceding the summer of 1501, as J find that the returns | of 1945, make the whaling tonnage of that year a | great deal more than the returns of 1850, make the | entire tonnage of the port, That the place has not dechned, is evident from its increase in and from facts recently made known. publicly stated, that in the eight years immediately preceding January 1, 1852, the value of the | cargoes brought into New Bedford by the whaling | fleet, was upwards of $24,000,000, or more than three | millions per snuum. In connection with this fact, it | was stated that the amount expended for bibles and | testaments for sailors, in the same time, amounted to | less then $150 per year, which shows that the ‘‘one | thing needful” is pretty much dispensed with in the | whaling business. If the half of what is said be true, the manzer in which the crews of whaling ships | are Cheated and plundered, all around, and by every | one who comes in business contact with them, it is a disgrace to civilization. Compared with their ex- istence, that of ated slaves must be a rather agree- | able pastime. Yeus ago, and before Rhode Islaud was blessed with that solid evidence of enlighteued | progress, a State prison, her Legislature was in the practice of commuting sentences to impr’sonment for life into ‘‘going on a whaling voyage,’* which was | found to be anything but a commutation of punish- ment, beiore the voyage was over. In any other bu- siness a mnan generally contrives to keep bis skin, but not inthis. Things have considerably improved in it of late years, the modes of the business having | partaken of the general advance of the age in hu- Mane rentiment and practice; and the time is not far distant, let us at least hope, when a ferocious | brutality will be as much abhorred in a whaling offl- cer as it used to be admired. The whaling business gives employment to thou- | sands of persons employed in ship building, and in the manutacture of the various articles taat ente into the pursuit. The manutacture of sperm oil and tt also a source of much labor. There are vessels employed in the cod and mackerel fisheries. Immense numbers of shad and alewives are taken. Boat building is extensively carried on. The amount of salt made cannot be less than 50,000 bushels per za, year. | : The chief characteristic of Bristol industry is its variety. Fall riverand Taunton are perfect hives, in which every thing is made to which ingeuious aud industrious men can tury their hands, with fair pros- | pectof profit. In 1643, Fall River sutfered terri- | Bly from fire, and there were people ready to pre- dict her utter extinction, yet, she has aauaged, not only to falsify their predictions, but to doso in a singularly tnumpbent manner, by increasing in pop- ulation and property faster than any other place in the country, abd second to but very few places in the whole country. Then there is something grand about the pursuit to which New Bed ford is mainly devoted, repulsive though it be in some of its details. What was Tyre to such a place and what was a Vyrian merchant, though ranked among the princes of the earth, toa man who, oa the same day, shall have ships arrive to him from the South Atlantic, and from the Pacide and Indian oceans? What was @ voyage to Cades, or to Britain in search of that universel object of com- merce, tin, or to the Northern ocean aster amber, in comparison with voyages to the coast of Japan, or to Belring’s Straits, or to the farthest isles of the remotest seas ? ‘The odds are out of sizht in favor of New Bedford, even if we agree with Mr. Urquhart in his belief tiat the Phoenicians were acquainted with the muriner’s compass. There is something grand about commerce when we look atit as @ whole, and see what energies it puts it in motion— what rewards it brings to its votaries. Considered in this light, New Bedford impresses one with a high senee of its power, and one van sympathize with those of its sons who believe that what the city has done is as nothing compared with what it is des tined to accomplish. Curarces Le Ouavve. Our Monticello Correspondence, Anti Rent Outrages. MowtTIceLxo, Sullivan Co., July 10, 1853. Some time since a man by the name of Nathaniel McEwen, tenant under lease from the late R. L. Liv. ingston of a farm in Neversink, Sullivan county, released his interest therein to the heirs of Commo- dore Ridgely, from inability to pay his rent. Whe farm remained unocenpied until about the Ist inst., when the agent for the heirs placed another tenant in possession. On or about the Sth inst. a party of about thirty anti-renters, disguised, entered upon the premises, severely injured the tenant, removed his | and dimensions—scme mere rocky islets, aud others, wife and children from the house, and then, setting fire to the building, depart a. Another tenaut, placed in possession of a farm under somewhat timilar c'rcumstanccs, wes compel: led to move from an intimation received from the anti-renters that he would be treated in like manner. Now, Mr. Editor, may it not be as well to inquire whetber the Governor intends still to hold the opi- nion that it is unnecessary to offer rewards for the apprebension of those miscreants’ The idea that pecuniary inducements should not be offered to the officers of the Jaw and others, to the more zealous and energetic fulfilment of their duties, would in this cake defeat the ends of justice. The perpetrators of these acts are, aud will remain, unknown, unless | some measure be taken to enlist the watchfulness and zeal of aj] persons in their apprehension, as well as | the myrmi jons of the law. G.C. Our Summer Correspondence, Steamer Canapa, June 30, 1853. Scenes on Lake Champlain. All who travel for amusement and instruction or for health should be careful to place prominently in their programme a passage through Lake Champlain. No part of the continent is more attractive in the picturesque grandeur and beauty of its scenery or in the impressiveness and interest of its historical associations. The valley of Lake Champlain, for more than a century the battle-field of America, is its | classic ground. Embarking at Whitehall,“ Putnam’s Reck’ is the first point of historic interest. South Bay soon follows. This was the great avenue of in- | vasion, 8o often pursued by the French in their at- tacks upon the English colonies. Dieshan, basten- ing toa field of bloody conflict and of his own defeat and death, followed this route. Then occurs the magnificent ruins of the fortresses of Ticonderoga and Crown Point. Sections of their ramparts still remain, memorials of the’r former glory and strength. The mouldering walls of their barracks, magazines, covered way, and miles of dilapidated entrench- ments, constitute the most interesting and imposing ruins in the New World. The line of the battery erected by Burgoyne on Mount Defiance, and the American works of Mount Independence, upon the eastern side of the lake, may still be traced. The remains of an ancient city or village near Crown Point are yet visible, although its origin and history areunknown. At Port Henry, directly upon the margin of the lake, is situated a vast iron mannfac- turing establishment. A little north of this place is the scene of the last naval fight of Arnold, where, to preserve them from becoming tro- phies to the enemy, he burnt or blew up most of his fleet, and on that beach &t Panton their charred and blackened fragments remaiued for maay years, monu- ments oi h’s gallantry and patriotism. @ narrow strait between Valcour Island end the mainland, and in tbe track of the steamer, was the site of his first great confiict with Carlton. A few miles be- yond, in the Bay of Plattsburg, is the theatre of Mcbénough’s immortal victory. These are among the th illing incidents whichare recalled by a trip of a few hours duration through this beautiful water. A few years since 1 passed over it in company with a dis- tinguished traveller, who was familiar with the scene- ry of Europe, Asia,and South America. He remark- ed that no region he had visited contuined so much and diversified beauty as Champlain, and that no scenery rivalled it, except that of the Lake of Gene- va; and this domain of nature, in its magnificence and loveliness, may be reached in seven hours from the city of New York. Leaving Albavy or Troy at 7 A.M., or Saratoga an hour or two luter, you reach Whiteball by an ex- cellent railroad, aud about 10 A. M. embark upon one of the most perfect and splendid steamers in the world. At Ticonderoga the water begins to expand into the +roader surface of the luke. On the mght you now have a view of the distant and jagged peaks of the Green Mountains. This sierra, rusning paral- | lel with the lake, limits the horizon, while a beautiful and fertile country adorns the plain between. On the western shore, as tar inland as the eye reaches, | the broken group of the Adirondac raise their tower- | ing summits into the region of the clouds. Luteral | spurs project from there ranges to the lake in bold and lofty headlands, where nuked and beetling cliffs form high and perpendicular walls upon the shore. Blended with these projections are rich tracts ot | highly improved agricu.tural districts. The lake is studded with innumerable islands, of varied forms clothed in rich yerdure. rest like emerald gems upon | its bosom. Thriving villages at short intervals en- liven the shores of the lake. ‘There are among the elements of beauty and inter- est which render a trip through Lake Champlain so delightful. Aucther, and scurce secondary attraction, is aftorded by the enj: yment cf the elegant steamers which fora time become var home. (irom whence I write,) is a new veesel, just ont of dock, and unsurpassed in all the combinations which confer comfort, pleasure and eecarity, upon the trav- | eller. She is not so large as some of the first class brats on the Hudson, but is not exvelled by any of them in elegance of finish and constructiov, in her airy and spacious arrangement, and in the exuberant luxuries and taste of hertable. She is admirably commanded by a very courteous and accomplished cfficer, Capt. I. R. Foster. I have been so delighted with the appearance, model, and arrangement of this boat, that 1 have solicited an exhibit of her size and fixtures, which are as follows:— Length of boat on deck. 262 feet. Breadth of beam 334 ** Cylinder. 64 inch, Stroke 12 feet. Burthen. a0 wes .800 tons. Thirty large double state rooms, and berths for 130 ional teed She has two spacious and elegant sa- loons, besides her cabins. ‘The Canada runs in connection with the America, Capt. O'Grady, (which is represented to be in all re- spects a wor'hy consort,) between Whitehall and Vlatieburg, forming, each way, a day and night line. | At Plattaburg they unite with a railroad, which con- ducts the traveller in about three hours to Montreal. A day spent on one of these Jake palaces, amid these thrilling reminiscences, and this gorgeous scenery, is worth months of existence in the dusty thorough- | fares and pent up atmosphere of your reeking me- tropolis.

I have heard many regrets, from persous standing high, that they were not aware of his arrival, which had prevented the pleasure of an in- uueduction, Mr Soulé here was merely Mr. Soulé, and on that account did not call upon the Governor; but although has been suid about the minister in the Larvo de la Marino upon bis appoinunent, not a word bas it said in regard to his presence here, al- thongh everybedy among the somebodies has talked on the subject. ‘The builtight fever paeaeg be onthe wane. The yellow tever, which is more constant, has just taken off the tavorite member of the com; » ‘This disease 2) pears to be rather viclent. We have plent, of focd fur is hungry jaws in the numerous arrivals of recruits aud Juborers from Spain, persons of a class who, by their babits, are much ex; to all Kinds of sickness. 1 see others bere who might be absent, but they imagine that they are exempt from danger, but it very often happens that this class is the first to fall, beg upon @ par with the other that is ulwzys in dread et being carried off by it. ‘the cholera is a violent, noisy fellow, and people have become as familiar with him as with a hh companion. There is little mystery about the dis- eare, less than there i3 about most diseases, and the healthy and prucent are in little dunger of his em- braces ; but about the yellow fever there 1s some- thing awful, aud something that the wisest Galens capLottathom. Some persons fall sick of the dis- ease almost upon their urrival, others months after- waids, others a year or two after; but after a resi- dece of six or reven yeais in the city persuns who have ercaped sichners rarely bave it, aud the natives seldom or never. But, although persons may escape fevers and other acute diseases, nobody who resides within the tropics for a length of time escapes the dcbiltating effects of the constant heat. The whole 8} stem becomes relaxed, and one has to be as care- ful in diet and everythivg else that affects tue sys- tem as a person has in a covl climate during ‘con- yalescency. In the preceding paragraph I speak of sickness. 1 now briefly make a few remarks about the wea- ther, which perhaps will be more interesting to seme of yourieacers. Fer about a month we have hed almost a constant succession of rainy daya with very variable temperature. Betore showers the heat hus been suffocating, and during rain the air has been chilly, and aiterwards it has again become warm, dump, and stagnant. This weather, which you may imagine is so prejudicial to health, has a very beneficial influence on vegetation ; therefore we may expectthat the next crop of sugar will be the largest ever produced in the island. It is a long time to look forward to; however, ex- cepting hurricanes acd such like visitations, it ap- pears pretty certain that it will. There is no mystery in wy calculation. We have had two or three sea- sons of unsuitable weather for a large crop, and now we have the commencement of one that so far has been quite in the order of things. Since my last, we have had two arrivals of Chi- nese, some 700 1n all; aod on an estate an insurrec- tion of theee people, in which an overseer was a vic- tim. This is ail 1 know about the matter. Such an event with you would be fully explained by the press. Scme persons have had their passports given them, with an order to be “‘o. p.h.” without Joss of time, tor beivg contiimed aud cheating gamblers. One ot the individuals, a Mr. P., has been a priest, a soldier, a clerk, and is the son-in-law of a famous empresario, and the sums that they have eared their victims of lately is said to reach half a million of dollars. We have bad more arrivals of negroes from Africa; however, by informing you of this, I will not go so far as to accuse the Captain General of connivance; but there must be winking somewhere, or they could not be landed, The plauters in general, that is, the Cubans, would rejoice to see the introduction stopped. The British men-of-war appear to have taken to flight—-we have uot seen any for some time back in our harbor. Markets.

Mr. Steagel, former deputy sheriff at Brownsville, was killed about July lst by Mr Conrad, editor of the American Flag, in seli-defence, who was dis- charged. A bad feeling exists between the citizens and filibusters, the latter threatening to execute vengeance on the citizens. We find the following items in the American Flag of the 2uth ult :—On Monday last the following per- sons appeared before the United States District Court under the indictment of having violated the neutral- ity Jaws of the United States, viz.: Jose M. J. Cur- vajal, R. H. Hord, BE. &. Hord, A. J. Mason, A. Nor- ton, R. C. Trimbie. A petition was made by defen- duuts for a change of venue, which was granted by the court, no opposition having been made thereto. Each of the defendants was bound over in sureties to appearat the next term of the court, in Galveston, to be held in January next. By passengers from above, arrived on the rteamer Camanche on Sunday last, we learn the following:— On the 10th inst. information was received by Capt. Granger, of the Rilies, stationed at Bellsville, oppo- site the Mexicen town of Guerrero, that a party of fificen or twenty Indians had crossed the Rio Grande from the Mexican side, about eight miles above his post. He immediately despatched a party of men to follow tueir trail, and dividing the remain- der of his company into two parties, stationed them in such @ manner as to intercept the Indians on their return. No more than thirty-six hours had elapsed from the time ot their crossing the river when one of the divided parties discovered tbe Indians’ retarn trail, which sutisfied them that they were making for the pars in the river at full speed. “ The troops over- took them while crossing their animals; five Indians were killed on the spot, some five or six wounded, horses, arrows, bows, guns, blankets, &c., were taken from them, and thoee who escaped swam the river entirely naked. It would appear that these Indians were tuily aware of the presence of the Rifles at Bells- ville. They travelled one hundred and thirty-six miles in thirty-six hours, ap oe the ranchos from the place of their crossing down to Jack Everitt's rancho. They returned by way of the Sous. A cold-blooded murder was committed on the night of the 21st inst., in Rio Grande City, by a man hy the name of Kennedy, on the person of Corporal Tew, of Lieut. Tilford’s company of Mounted Rifles. ‘The murderer immediately fled to the opposite side of the river, A reward of $100 was offered for his apprehension, and Kennedy was soon arraigned be- fore Jndge Lynch's court, sentenced, and hung. ‘Troops are constautly ariving at the M towns on the frontier, and in such numbers we have never before seen on this line. Military encamp- ments are also being established at points on the Rio Grande which hitherto have not been considered of sufficient impareicy to be geared by custom house guards. The propr’etor of a baking establish- ment iu Camargo bas n consulted upon a con- tract for baking bread for ten thousand men. It is reported by passengers recently arrived from Rio Grande Ciiy, that opini ns are freely expressed on the other side as to the Mccagt a in Santa Anna's opinion of the treaty of peace, the same having been meade and ratified during bis absence, thus creating a question as to the necessity of complying with its observance. The ‘divine mission” of Santa Anna to reclaim the lost importance of the Mexican terrl- tory is also alluded to. he American tlug publishes a communication from Carvajal to the editors of that paper, in which he complaius of being misunderstood and misrepre- sented both in the United States and Mexico, and denies most emphatically that he issued any order to his officers to tuke the life of Mr. Morse. Hesays:— “dhe time will soon come when I shall claim a hearing before the American public, when I shall present such facts and documents as will compel all candid minds to do me the justice which my suffer- ings for the most honorable cause demand.’ From the British Provinces. We have received St John. N. B.. papers of July 18, The St Jebo N B. Observer in alluding to the arrival of Mr. Crompton, the Koglish minister, at Halifax, says that it is prerumed thar bis cbject is to obtain correct yerscval information in regard to the fisheries. The St, Jobn N.B, Freeman thus speaks of the trade with the United Staies :— “Op Wednesday last the Fastern City took about three hundied pas: evgers to Boston, and a considerable freight, one of the cbicftrems of which was the enormous quantity ¢f 32,600 Ibe. of salmon, for the Amerioan mar- hets Ssvurcey rhe brought to St. John over three burdred pes-engers ard an immense freight. Tee in- crease of business and wavel is really astonishing,” The New Biunswicker, in relation to the same matter, says — “Our American frierds eannot complain that we do not give them arhare of our primest fish. We under- staid that the durex on the cargo of the Eastern City, pu dat Ea-tport. sn ounted to upwards of $70,” ‘The Yarmouth Herald say 3 :— “We aze glad to Jearo that maekerel have been abun- davtatihe Turbet I+lacdy during the past week.
