The day we celebrate. By administering the anodyne, blue, whittle, the Indians in llchawnynoichaway were put to sleep.The following very extraordinary commentary on the character of Mexican merchants, we find in the slip of the New-Or-leans True American, of August 1st.Charleston Mercury.Rosiest Eitbaohdihamt.—The schr.Win. A. Turner, hence to Hrasos, 8l. Jago, has just returned, and the following is the substance of a robbery committed upon the Captain, the particulars of which will hereafter be published. The Captain, James Haggerdan, on his a/rival at the Biassoe, haviog business at Matanoras, 35 miles beyond, went there cn horseback, with a aer-vant. furnished by the American Consul, who was the consiguto of the vessel. The Captain, on his return, had with him fourteen hundred and fifty dollars in specie, on tbe owners account, and when aliout three leagues from the city,* he was attacked by a band of twenty robbets, who tied him up. and stripped both him and hi* servant of all the specie.Ilut who think yon, reader, were the robber? Mexican Merchants—the Merchants of Matamoras. The owner of the vessel hcs received a letter from the American Consul, informing him of the arrest of several of the robbers, two of whom were promptly condemned and shot. The money has not been recovered, but these Mexican Merchants have plenty of property, which will be seized to satisfy this injury done to trade.~N£W-ORLKAN8, AufUft lit.Tampico.—The Schr. Creole, Capt. Cormier, arrived yesterday, from Tampico, bringing specie to the amount of $41,892, to sundry consignees. All was perfectly tranquil in the interior; Bustimentevs energetic measures being well adapted to tranquillize the incendiary and disorganized spirits of the region. Moctezuma’t defeat had completely paralyzed their efforts at insubordination. Hants Anna, was no more talked of than iflie had descended to the “tomb of the Capulets. Indeed they might say of him in the words of the song—•• Oh no, we never mention him;—his name is never heard.*9 Such has ever been the fate of fallen greatness! From the fact of our not receiving any pnpers from Tampico, wc are inclined to think, that the paper printed there has been suspended.The same veitsel reports that three Mexican Conduclas had arrived nt Tampico, bringing two millions six hundred thousand dollars, destined principally for Europe.— The Spanish schooner 8aramonsit sailed on the 19 inst. for this port with fifty thousand dollars, and the schooner Sarah Ann wos ready to soil on the22d with three hundred and thirty thousand more. All was quiet at Tampico.Extract of* Inter from Ptrif to Che Editor of (he lUlti-mere Pen lot.French Politeness.—In consequence of its having been made known to the French Chamber of Deputies tliut a rule existed in the House of Representatives of the United Htates, giving the privilege of seats on the floor within the hull, during the sittings of Congress, to members of foreign Legislatures, they were resolved to manifest the same civilty to members of the American Congress. The difficulty was how the of-fair should be managed to place Mr. White, of Florida, on a footing with their members at Washington, os their were no privileged seats within the hall of the Palais iu which the Deputies sit. it was proposed to give a place in the Tribune, reserved for the Ministers and those invited by them, and, finally to manifest the esprit dt corps of NatiotiAl Legislators, they have furnished Mr. W. with a medal of a member of the Chamber, which gives the enire to all the palaces* reviews, and oilier public establishments which a deputy has.All had feeling, arising from the recent unhappy difference between the two countries, has passed away, aud the best feeling is manifested for all Americans.All letters and paf*rs from the United States intended for Texas, should be post paid and directed to the care of T. BrentClark of New Orleans, who lias boen appointed general Agent (or the Texian Post Office Dc|amnent. Teia. T«kfr«pk.Mr. Childs, of Connecticut, produced a general burst of laughter in the Convention yesterday, by the relation of on anecdote exemplifying the present deranged state of the Currency. 99 A gentleman, he said, 99 was travelling up the Mississippi with his wife, in a steamboat; on the boat stopping to get wood he weut aslioroto procure some eggs for his wife, who was in ill health. Having purchased some, he returned to the boat with the eggs, and also dragging along a reluctant bull dog. 9 Here,' said lie, 9 here my dear, are tbe eggs, and here,9 poiotiog to the bull dug, 99 is the change.99 Ilow soon we shall have to take boll ilog* for change here/’ saidMr. C*9 MI will not undertake to pfedict,
