The following important news from the Paciric his been received by special despatches nl Washington. It appears that Commodore Sloat entered the harbor of Monterey early in July, and on the G'h, issued his proclamation to the inhabitants of California, calling upon them to remain peaceful, assuring them that he did not come as the enemy of ^nuiumia, uiu us mcir incnu ; mm uiey aro uestined to form part and parcal ol the great Federal Union of the United States; to enjoy the same rights and privileges as the citizens of those States. The proclamation is dated on board the United States frigate 3avannah, in the harbor of Monterey, and signed Johx 13. Sloat, Commavdtr-in-Chirf of I he U. S. Fnrcet in tht Pacific In addition to this. Captain Montgomery entertered the harbor of Yerba Buenn, and issued his summons to surrender to the inhabitant? of the country, in virtue of instructions from tho Commodore. These summons bear date July 9th. 1846. We have also news that Colonel Fremont's advanced posts had reached Sonora, to tho north of San Francisco. Gen. Castro, the Governor of the Province, advanced at the head of his troops to repulse them, but the gallant Colonel meeting him in person, tho Mexican force* retreated. The Califoruians are creatlv divided nmnno themselves. A junta met at Santa Barbara, headed by Governor Pico, proclaiming California an independent republic ; hereupon tho Mexican governor (Castro) declared the province under martial law. Affair* In Mexico* [fr'rom the Washington Union ] Annexed if '.he plan adopted and proclaimed by the inhabitant! and garrison of the city of Mexico, and acceded to by tho lata government on the Ath of August, 1846 : Akt 1. Instead of tho present Congress, another shall assemble composed of representatives popularly chosen according to the electoral law* in force for the election of 18-24, whose duty shall be as well to frame a constitution Tor the nation, adopting the form of government which they may doem in conformity with the national will, as to take charge of all matters relating to the war with the I'nited States and the affair of Texas and other frontier departments. The monarchical form of government which the nation evidently detests shall be excluded. Art. 3. All Mexicans faithful to they country, including those out of the country, are called upon to give it their services in the present national movement, for which purpose very particular invitation ii Riven to his excellency, the well-deserving Gon. Antonio Lope/, de Santa Anna, who is from this time recognised as generalin-chiet ol all the forces engaged and resolved to combat in ordor that the nation may recover its rights, secure its liberty, and govern itself. Aut. 3. Until the sovereign Congress shall assemble and adopt the requisite measures for the war, it will be the indispensable duty of the executive to dictate such measures as may be urgent and necessary to sustain with honor tho national flag, and this sacred duty must be discharged without the loss of a single moment. Art. 4. Within four months from the occupation; by the liberating forces of the capital of ths republic, tho Congress referred to in the first article must be assembled, fur which purpose it will be the duty of the general-in-chief to issue the order of convocation, in the terms indicated, and to take care that the elections pro0 -ed.with all posiible liberty. Art. 6. The existence of tho army is guaranteed, and it is assured of such attention and protection as a e due to the well deserving military class of a free people. akt.fi Any one will be declared a traitor to the nation who shall endeavor to retard the assembling of the said Congress, snake any attempts against by infringing the liberty of its members, dissolve it, or suspend its sessions, or attempt tofoppose the constitution which it may establish, or the laws which it may enact in conformity with the present plan. The foregoing plan, with a preamble setting forth the causes and object) of the new revolution, was communi cated, on the 4th of August, by General Salas, the chief of the pronounced troops, to General Bravo, the acting President of the republic, and a correspondence took place which is not sufficiently interesting for transla tion. [From the Mexico Republicano, August 6.] Since the 3d instant, repeated notices have beea given to the government; but in the most reipectful terms, and almost in the tone of entreaty. Both these communications, and private letters addressed to Senor Bravo and Senor Quijano, t>y the general-in-chief of the pronounced force* in the citadel, remained either unanswered or were answered in an evasive manner by asking tor time, and seeking to gain time. The last time lixed upon lor giving a definite answer was two o'clock in the afternoon of this day, ( August fifth.) The general-inchief of the citadel waited until that hour, and having received_no answer, arranged his columns for the attack; but when they were about to execute the movement, the Oenerals D. Martin Carrara and 0. Jose Urrea presented themselves on the part of the government, and stated lhat (Jen D Benito Quijano was empowered as general in-chief to treat with the pronounce rs, if both parties should appoint commissioners to meet at a designated place. The general-inchiel of the pronounced forces drew up a new communication with this view, stating that the commissioners appointed on his part would attend before flvo o'clock in the after noon, in the convent of San Francisco, where they would await those appointed by (Jen. Quijano. The commissioners of the chief of the pronunciamento attended according to appointment; but those of the government, alter the lapse of more than an hour, had not made their appearance. In consequence of this, and of (Jen. Qmjsuo s having sent a new communication stating lhat a junta of war would meet at 7 o'clock in the evening, an t that a reply would be given in the course of the night, the gencrai-io-chief of the pronaunced forces determined to wait no longer, and commenced liis march with two strong columns, composed of some infantry, a liody of cavalry, and some light pieces, which, being arranged In the moat mcietn manner, anviinreii without meetwig any impediment, until tliey surrounded the palace, the forces occupying it being confined within the limit* of the principal ?<|ii ne At this stage of affair*. General Qtiijano promised that hi? commissioner would attend at wine o'clock a* right in house No 10, in the firit street de I'l.iteru*. occupied by Dr. D. Pedro Vander-Linden, the director of the military board of health. In fact, almoit an hour before the ap|K>inted time, General* Ctrrert. Urrea, and D. Ramon .M 01 ale* appeared at commiuionem of the general commanding the force* of the government, aad on tlie part of those of the citadel, General* de Ptdro Lemu*, P. Antonio Vizcayno, and D. Ramtn I'achjco, heno niry intondantfOt the army. A loag di*cu<*ion wo* entered into, which lasted until half after one in the morning, and the result of which win, that the general in-chief o f the force* of the government was to accede to the plan proclaimed in the citadel, and every article of it; it being farther determined, on the part of the pronouncer*. that In consideration of the deference and respect for the national will manifeited by Senor Bravo, a* well * in testimony of the reipect due to hi* former services, he should be allowed, wl?le In the capltol, the diftinction ot a guard of honor, inch ai the ordinance assigns to captain*-general ; that neither he nor hi* miniater*, nor the chief*, officer*, and trooj who have cupported hi* cauae, (hould be moleited, and that immediately upon the ratification of tho plan, the government should ceaie it* function!, the troop* defending the palace to remain under the order* of Senor Sain*. The latter occupied the palace at three o'clock thii morning. The chiming of bells, the beating of drum*, and muaic of the military hand*, vivai from a large concour*e for (General Santa Anna, who I* invoked in the plan, and a *alvo of twenty-one gun* from the battery ot the citadel, at day-break, were the ttrit celebration of thi* event. A* yet 110 government ha* been organize!, aad the general-in-chief of the pronounced force* I* to continue in command until tho arrival of General Santa Anna, who i* expected within a few dar*. [F rom the N. O. Time*, Aug. 35] We iiaued the above intelligence in an extra, at an early hoar yesterday morning, *ince wlie* we have received a hill Ale of Vera Crtii paper* to the Iftth, and thoie from the capital to the 8th imtant. These journal* are principally occupied with details of the progre** and ultimata success of the revolution in favor of Santa Anna. The proclamation iaaued liy Gen. Taylor, to the inhabitant* of the Mexican Republic, appear* in most of the journals of to* country,and lorms a fruitful subject of comment lor the editors, who aflect to regard it, as may naturally be expected from their national vanity, with an air of disdain. *' The HonHot of the 8th contain* a long and forcible article on the recent revolution. It animadverts in no measured terra* of severity on the return of Santa Anna to declare* that having opposed hi* elevation, it will (till continue Ita opposition, unlee* assured that ad mMmmBBsmBsg^?ssss^Bs W YO mf .___ % V YORK, THURSDAY M< | versity And exile hare exercised a salutary influence on Ills character.

The revo lution appear* to have been completely successful, and , consummated with a singular degree of unanimity. We ' have now only to await the programme of Santa Anna's | foreign and domestic policy. Wo have seen a letter from the city of Mexico <1 a toil the 8th, which makes no mention of Parades' imprisonment. and wo are therefore inclined to doubt the correctness of tho information contained in the lettor from Vera Cruz, which we published yesterday. By our la?t ac, counts. I'aredes had left the capital on the Slat ult, at the hca.l of 4000 troops, whence it maat be presumed that he waf pretty lar advanced on his way to the North when the revolution broke out. But tbia ia a matter of little moment. In the same letter above alluded to, it is stated that tome of the disaffected citizens of Monterey, in conjunction with a tew inhahiutitoof American origin, 1 who were ailed hy the crew of kia U. 3. sloop of war took possession of the city, hoisted American colors, au<) proclaimed the California* auneted to the Cnited States. Our render* will remember the account we published on Friday of the attack oil .Vlvurado by a portion of the blockading s<]U.idron iu the (Julf Tl?# hotom-tor, of the 10th. contains the Mexican versiou ofjAhe affair, which wo append. Pincr. or TH?: NuTiotAi Govra^Mr.sr, ) Mexico, \HfUst 7, 1848 ) With respect to tha Into affair at Alt^pado, in whicb a few vessels, detached from the Amerirflii squadron" bombarded that port, the Vera Cruz Lnconatar, of the 10th. contains the following intelligence from Alvaradv, dated the t)th. On the morning of the 7th instant, the whole of the onemy's ships of war stationed at Anton-Lizardo, . uii iuv ? !, which ciuku K'**1 iarm in me I town. Tho battalion of militia, and almost every man : of the population, immediately ran to tba Fort, which ii at the bar, intending to defend tho entrant* of tho river. At fo'ir F M. tho cnumy'sshipa opened their Are, buttheir hot, from a frigato and steam ship, did not hit tae Fort, going completely over it. Whilst their brger vesaela bombarded the Kort, a launch, with a gun in it, approached so near the shore that the crew wore able to hail aome few proplo who were close by, on a little eminence, but as the latter onlv waited for their landing, they did not reply, when the launch began to tire, whiuh waa return* od with apiiit, none of our inen being hurt, ea they used an eluvation hard by for a kind of parapet, or breaatwork. (Jen Don Juan Soto behaved most gallantly in the af fair. Me remained in the Kort at the bar l'rom morning until 10 at night, encouraging the militia and other armed citizens. At that hour lie returned to hie quarters Tor a little refreahmenta, but shortly after returned with Don Joa-quin Martinez, where they both remained, actively employed, all night Gen, Soto directed all the oi?r<itioni. Amongst tho military wh:> took part in the labors of the day, were Senors Rodal Hernundez and lli j? The enemy retired at night, and a few houra after, the Mexican ateamboat Srpluno, loaded with militia, arrived from Tlacutalpan Mie returned immediately for more men, whom she brought on the 8th, in the evening, bringing during her two trips, a reinforcement of two hundred men, without reckoning the officer*, who are among the ptiacipal citizens of Tlacotalpam The militia of Co?amaloapam oflVred their services, and the steamer is gone thither, boiug expected at Alvarado again on the lOtii in?t _ i ne eiunusiasm 01 an ranics was remaruante. Tney can, however, only prove useful in cane tho enemy should disombark, but they caanot prevent hi* entrance into the river, being without artillery. The only mean* we have to oppose him aro the brig Vera Cruzauo and two gun boats, tho only marine force at Alvarado. On the Oth, five of the enemy's vessels reappeared. Gen. Soto, and all under his command, exercise the greatest vigilance. No communication had been receivod at Vera Crux, from the General commanding at Alvarado. [From the Restaurador, Mexico, Aug. 5, 1846 | Proclamation by the General-inChief ol the army, exercising supreme executive power.?" Jose Mariano de Salm Brigadier General and commanding the free republican army, exercising supreme executive power, to all whom it may concern : "That, having consummated a most glorious revolution, most conformable to the national will, in order to proservo order, and for the purpose of making effective tho full regeneration ot the republic, so that in tranquility the defence ol the territory may be duly organized, I 'have thought it necessary to issue the following decree :? ' Any one who shall attempt any alterations in public order, or with arms in hands, shall disturb it, shall be tried bv authorities, corresponding to tho (gravity and circumstances of the offence. If he hold any public oiflce he shall be dismissed, and shall also be otherwise punished to tho utmost rigor of the law, and maJe repossible with the whole of his worldly means, for the injuries he may occasion, as well to the public as to individuals.

If you desire a proof that I do not deceivo myself in these impressions, open your hearts sincerely to your subordinates, when, not a dozen will be found to obey ycur order?. Thus, the army will be saved from schism, and at the last moment the city of Mexico will be preserved from a day of mourning and horror, which will assuredly happen if a gun is tired, through the obstinate blindness of tho few defenders of u disorganized government. I shall fail in my duty, and be recreant to humanity, if the melancholy state ol things now existing in the city of Mexico last much longer. I am resolved for all, if your Kxrellencies do not desist irom opposing tho most tarred of revolution!, and in virtue of thia. 1 appriie ou, that I shall proceed to attack you, if you do not, a* I hope, concur in the plan proclaimed, protecting, in the face of the whole world, that you, and you alone, will he responsible for the evil* which may ensue.

The British (loop of war Daring, Captain Matson, arrived oil'the Batize Sunday evening from Vera C'rui, and ('apt. Mation und Lieut.

The citiei of Mexico and Puebla have both declared for Federation ! und Santa Anna. In ivgard to the latter we learn that the English merchant steamer " Arab" arrived OS" Vera Cruz the | morning of thu Kith inst, having on board (ien. Santa Amu ami hn fumily, Gen. Almonte, the ex-Minister* Kejon and Haro y Tainariz, Sr. D. Crescencio Bore*, ex-Donuty Irom Yucatan to the Mexican Congreis, and several other individual*. Upon the appoarance of the Arab off Vera Cruz, Commodore Conner repaired on board the steamer Priiureton, and an attempt waa made to intercept tho Arabfout tho morning was calm and she slipped in'o port without hindrance with her valuablo freight. Opinion* differ a* to tho intentions of the Commodore towards Santa Anna. *oine believing that he had r.o desire to interce|>t him. On this subject wo learn by lettbr* received by the U. 8. brig Perry, at Pentacola from Havana, that before Santa Anna left Havana, our Consul, Col Campbell, hail aconversation with him to the following effect. Col. C- i nquired if the General watinlavorof the war with the United States. To which the Gekieral replied, " You know how it is; if tho people of mv country are tor war, then I am with them; but I woulif prefer peace." Before leaving Havana, he requested and received from Col Campbell a letter of inttoduction to Commodore Conner Healaotook with him u valuable box of cigar*, intended aa a present forthe Commodore. Upon arriving off Vera Cruz, he took good care to waste no time in the presentation of his letter or cigars. But to recur to the revolution in Mexico. Our advices are somewhat meagre, but they are of the most authentic character so lar a* they go. We have teen a letter received by an eminent commercial house intimately connected'with affairs in Mexico from their correspondent in that city. From this letter it appeara that Gen Sal in and a portion of the garrison ot Mexico pronounced on the 4th inst., in favor of the Government of bautu Anna. Although (Jen. Bravj, the Vice 1'resldent, made some resistance, he wai compelled to yield early on the morning of the 7th in?t. (ten. Silas was invested with the command until the arrival of Santa Anna, supported by Senor (joraez Kariat as counsel lor. The latter used hit inilueoce with the Miniitera of I'aredes to induce them to continue in the discharge of their functions. The letter announcing the above intelligence urge* a? a scandalous shame, that while the revolution is going on in Vera Cruz and Mexico, Gen. Taylor ia advancing with his forces into the interior, opposed by no force ot any consideration This is denounced as the more disgraceful, inasmuch as by the consummation of the revolution, 3000 troops from Guadalajara anil 4000 from the city of Mexico are now at liberty to move at ouce to the frontier, and these united to the army of the North would be able to make head against the invaders. " The tame letter announces that somo adventurers Irom the United States, supported by the crew of a sloop of war, had taken possession oi the port of Monterey, iu < ahlomia, and the writer adds:?" Uod knows what will be the result of this jiovoment. as well as the invasion made by the way of New Mexico. In conversing with Captain Uat?on we learn that the intelligence of the success of our arms upon the Pacific was by no means new at Vera Crttx, it having been received many days before the Dai ing sailed for this port. We have-been permitted to take a copy of the followiue letter rebeivjd by a commercial house:?

The present conveyance carries the newi of the annexation of California to the United States, received last night by express at the British Consulate Sauta Anna, who had only been signalized when a postscript to the abova. letter was written, subsequently arrived and was received at Vera Cruz with every demonstration of enthusiasm and joy. B^V'e learn that Paredes was taten prisoner and confined, an it wai his manifest intention to employ the troops, equipped for the army ef the North, to oppose the advance of Santa Anna from Vera Cruz, instead of marching against General Taylor. The revolution in the city of Mexico followed immediately upon the announcement of tbe declaration in Vera Onuz on the 31st ult. Home accounts say that lien Paredes is confined in the Castle of 1'erote instead of Mexico." Although a few Mexican nauers were received bv the Daring, we were not 10 fortunate of to obtain tbe u*e of them, anil they were forwarded to Washington by yesterday's mail. [From th? New Orleans Delta, Aug. 35 ] We, yesterday, were incidentally informed that ono of the British Naval officers from the Daring, who came up to tlie city, said in a private conversation, that Santa Anns, had arrived immediately oil'Vera Cruz, before the Daring suited, amd that ( omConner had made him a prisoner This statement may not be correct, but when Santa Anna should have reached there?as reached there he has before this?wo cannot see how Com. Conner can reconcile it to his duty to let him past into Vara Cruz, unless, indeed, Capt Mackenzie had a purpose of visiting Havana, besides making inquiry in reference to the fitting out of privateers?unless, in other plainerlanguage, the government has the assurance of Santa Anna that on assuming power he will negotiate an honorable peace and on equitable terms. If there be not such an understanding it would be an act of magnanimity without precedent to let Santa Anna pass the blockade. Com. Conner is oil' Vera Cruz for the purpose of preventing the enemy from receiving succor or asaistarxe, whether in the shape of men, munitions of war,provisions, lie. Santa Anna goes there ostensibly to render th?m that assistance, and unless he has given our government a satisfactory guarantee that he goes not to prolong the war but to effect apeaca, it would be madness to permit him to land at Vera Cruz. As well?so far at the "principle involved is concerned?as well might an army often thousand men from Yucatan or elsewhere be permitted to make a peaceful entry. The Peace jtllaalon.

The Daring will very possibly convey them nrst to the squadron. Army Intelligence. Nkw Orleans, Aug. 34, 1840. The intelligence from the city of Mexico, to the 8th Inst., is highly important. Gomez Fariez, Vice President under Santa Anna, who was expelled by him in 1833, and exiled from Mejtico, and remained in thi* city till Santa Anna was put down by Herrera, in the most abject poverty, declared against Parades and in favor of his old enemy, in the city of Mexico, about the 4th instant, backed by Genial Zalot or Talot, and some of the very troops that Taredes had raised. General Bravo held out in the city for four days, but without a blow being struck, surrendered The accounta'state, Parades, who had left the city, was overtaken, captured, rnd is now a prisonar in the castle at Mexico. Gen. Talos immediately issued a decree, convoking a Congress for the 6th of December next, agreeable to the nr^n,iiiWfln#nfn tin>*?r which thu r*vmIntinn hi<t rf. fee ted. An expreaa arrived at Vera Cruz on the 18th, on which day the Daring left, announcing the important fact that one of our rameli in the Pacific, had landed at Monterey, California, and taken peaceable poaneasion. 80 California i* ourt!

Thia wa* yeaterday afternoon about two o'clock. Hiring the aame Mexican who brought the intelligence for a guide, our captain started off at a rapid pace, only halting a short time towards aundown to cool the horses' backa and make a " hasty bowl" ot coffee.

A little farther on a halt waa called, twenty mon were left aa a rear guard, nnd with the reat of the company our captain moved on, circling the town and making towarda tho main Monte- : rey roa<l to rut ort any force that might endeavor to retreat We had j??t reached the opimelte aide of the town, and had amvrd at a large road, when the aharp ' crack i>f a riflo waa heard from the rear guard, now near a mile off.

Tho order had been given for both parties to enter tho place nt /InvlirAalr and nu it still lurknd an hour nr (wit nf dawn, we were halted m the road, and told not to lake either saddles or bridles from our horses. No farther alarm nave from the opposite aide, and hard aa was the road, and without blauket*, many of tho men were soon asleep while holding their animala?the long hard ride having brought on a latigue and drowiineas that could , not be overcome. With the flrat gray of the morning wa were again In the haddle. A delay of half an hour, chasing a couple of Mexican*. seen leaving tho town, made it broad day before we entered the pla/.a. an<l when there we found the reur guird already in quiet and peaceable possesion.? They had had all the lun and excitement on their aide, for it seemed that they had taken one prisoner, who wan caught endeavoring to apy out their position, and (he rifle had been diaaharged at two other*?fellow* on horteback?who were evidently reconnoitering, and who put ipun to thoir horses when ordered to halt. During the evouing following the report of the rifle, the prisoner escaped from the person guarding him ?thus ended the conquest of China by the Americans. Upon inquiry, it was now found that McCulloch wa* within an ace, as the saying is, of catching Seguin, and had not ?ome of hi* scout* or friends given him notice of the approach of the Hanger*, ho would fallen into their hand*. It wa* only at dark that he received intelligence ol our approach, wheu seventy-live of hi* men at once broke ami run for the chaparral. At 10 o'clock?(ome twa hours before our captain roachod the outskirts of the town?twenty-five more were in the saddlo and oil', and it i* said that Seguin himself was only two hundred yard* distant when the rifle wa* discharged at one of hi* pie*, and further, that he, too, made at onco for the chaparral as fast a* hi* horse would carry him. The Ilangera followed on the trail of the runawaya until n iinint wfli ranr.hAit whflrn Ihiv warn scattered.? Scouts of the onemy were seen on tne distant bill topi, I watching our advance, hut as it was deemed useless to pursue the fugitives further on tired horses, and they 1 knowing every foot of the country, we were ordered ' back to town, and are now occupying the very quarters recently filled by Seguin's men. Hjstary mentions but few instances where a handful of men have driven double > their number from it strong position, for such this roally is, without some show of resistance. Camargo, August !>, 1846.?I wrote you a hurried scratch from China, givuig an account of our trip to that plao?, and ol the night of Seguin and his men. McCul- I loch remained there but one day, occupying Seguin's quarters the while. We started on the Oth inst. for this ' placo, and arrived safe and sound yesterday morning, I without meeting with any resistance. It was thought j the Mexicans might rally, upon ascertaining the small forco of the Hanges, and attempt to cut them off at the Paso de Sacate ; but not an armed man was seen as we entered the place. Previous to our leaving China, our captain told the alcalde to give his best compliments to Col Heguin on his return, and further to inform him that he had called at his room on a visit, had remained there twenty-four hours, and regretted that he was compelled to depart without seeing him. In a few days, possibly he might return, when he hoped he might ftnj him at home.

The steamer Hatchee Kagle arrived here last evening, Gen. Taylor and his staff coming up on her. The talk j now is of an immediate movement towards Monterey, making a depot for provisions at somo point on the route ' Whether the army is to move by way of China, or is to | cross the San Juan at this place and march on the other j side of the river, has not yet been settled upon 1 believe. I There are now near 3,000 men, all regulars, encamped 1 here, and hosts of volunteers are rn route and shortly I expected?some of them this afternoon. The general impression among the best informed, as ' regards the chances of the Mexicans giving another bat- ! tie. is, that Oen. Taylor will have an opportunity of gain { tag fresh laurels at Monterey or near that place. Oil the < river the inhabitants appear friendly enough, but in the interior the case is different. Accompanying McCulloch on bis different scouts I have had a good opportunity of judging, and the general bearinsr and toi.eof the ' principal men has been as much as to say, " V'ou are 1 having your way now, and we must grin and bear it; in j a snort time you will be hurrying out ol the country at double quick time, with the Mexican soldier* in the ascendant?then we shall have our day." I do not believe, for one moment, that the conciliatory system can mako friends of these apple. They despise and hato us, | and nothing but their loar inducca them to conceal their real feelings.

Aug. 11, 1840 -One step towards Monterey is to be taken tomorrow Capt. Duncan's battery, accompanied by a small porffon ol McCulloch's men, leaves this place in the direction of the mountains, and by some road on the oppositj fide of the river. It may be looked upon only an a mo nnittanrr, although an artillery force is along. Of w itfevor befall them on the road, you shall tie made appointed all in good time. If the command does not take Mier in the route, it will go close to that place. News has reached here this morning to the effect that the city of Ouerero has pronounced in favor of the Uidtod States Government. The people of that place have all along been friendly towards the Americans, or have so seemed; but whether from any love they might bear them, or from fear of the encroachments of tbo Caman- I ches. is a matter I am not able to determine at this nr?- I sent writing. I believe, honestly, that the people of Uuerero have some intelligence, and are better disposed than those of any place on the river. Bv way of a letter from Mier, it would seem that McCulloch came even nearer having a brush with Seguin's men at China, than wat at first supposed. When the rifle was discharged at one ot' his spiel, his main command was not a mile off, and a general scamper at fence followed. Had there been daylight at the time, although it is now said they numbered over 300 strong, they would not have got oil' so easily. Varieties. Collision oi thr Norwich Railroad.?The can of the Long Island train, soon after they left Norwich for Boston, on Saturday afternoon, met the freight train, which was running out of time, and a fearful collision was the consequence. Both locomotives were injured, and can were (mashed, but the amount of personal injury was very small. Mr. Fishor, the conductor, had his collar bone broken in two places; the fireman escaped miraculously with some severe bruises, and some of the passengers were slightly injured. The train wa* detained until about three o'clock on Sunday morning, when it arrived in this city.?Boiton Courier, Aug. 31. More Murders ?The Richmond Republitan states that strong suspicion rests against Kpes, the murderer of Muir, of having also murdered h's own son, his motherin-law, and a Kentucky drover. A few years since an elderly lady?then an inmate, if wo understood correctly, of Kpes' house?was taken suddenly ill and died. At the death of this lady, it seems, a large estate was likely to fall into the hands ot Kpes, as guardiau of his chil- | <lron, who were to be the heir* tneir aecruea rem- , tivo. During the brief *icknn*i of the lady, Kpe* wa* i known to have adminiafered h done of medicine, or nomothing which he professed would Rive relief to her. The ; doac had been given but a ahort time, when *he conti- 1 nued to grow worie, and *oon expired. Nothing wa* thought et the time of the *u4den death of the lady? her friend* not dreaming for a moment that she had been unfairly dealt with. It 11 only lince the development* in the Muir enie, that suspicion ha* been excited towards Kpes, in rrgard to her death. It haa been only a ! few )"*ar?, too, idee n *on of K.'? wu killed, a> report- 1 ed at the time of hie death, by the accidental discharge of hii gun while he and hi* father. W.
