After the selling of his squadron, LT bave heard it rumored that he, or hia crews, had complained of not being paid for their services by General Urquiza. The first intimation or sugges- tion thatever I heard of Coe having fled from a satay, was contained in the letter from Captain Downing to Mr. Peodleton. I know Mr. Hamilton.

Mr. Livingston aod Mr. Hayes, two American | citizens resident in Buenos Ayres, were consniting with me as to the propriety of their going off to the | Jamestown to secure, if they could, the debts due them from Coe, out of the money received by him for the sale of bisequatron, at the very time when | we heard that he had left t! ip; I beard a great | deal said by toreiguers, both officials and private | persons; they made reflections and imputations on the conduct of Captain Yowning, in connection with | the affair, very painful and mortifying to us, Ameri- cans, to hear, and all the more fal because there geemed eo much ground for them.

A new paper has been started in the city of Mexi- co under the title of The Truth, with this motto— “Know truth, and truth will make you free.” Et Heraldo, hitherto a violent Saptanista paper, comes out in favor of a revision of the late}prohibi- tory laws, and of @ reduction of the tariff, on the ground that “ Mexico needs to import nearly every article of use or luxury, for which she can exchange the abundant products of her mines.” ‘The same paper publishes a communication from San Cristobal, unnouncing that the experiment of raising cotton there is succeeding most mma and that picking will commence in six or eig! days. It says: “Up to this time not s single plant has suffered from any cause. The field is most beautiful ini the plants growing to the height of a ya and are full of bolls, many of them having one hundred ; the superintendent says he has never aten such excessive uction, not even in the best cotton plantations in the United States.

The ra is said to contain some skilfal writing and ve pieces, but doubts are entertained of its rs of stability. To those wto kuow and love the “Ham- let” of Shakspeare, the desecration certainly seems exceasive, nor does it seem natural that the Prince of Denmark should commence a song recitative in place of the solioquy, ‘To be, or not to be.” At the Adelphi, Mr. J.
