In the midst of the gloom created by the loss jof the I'nlnski, and the supposed destruction of j all on hoard with the exception of the sixteen | who hud reached the shore in two boats with Mr. j llihbard, the male, we were most agreeably sur -1 prised to learn on .Saturday morning lliat Major i J until, id Ibis eily, had arrived m (own, and i brought with him the intelligence of the escape | of twenty nine poisons, who, with himself, had j remained on a portion of the wreck. Wo have j made it om business lo see and converse with Ma ; jor Heath, and gather from him directly the fob I lowing particulars: I The Major slates that ho had just retired to his stale room, about If o’clock on Thursday night, but had not yet gone to bed when the explosion look place, and was followed by a scene of the ulmost noise and confusion. The passengers rushed immediately on deck, where, all the lights being extinguished, llv-y could form no accurate idea of the extent of tho injury, Our informant having boon in Ilia forward cabin, found his way l » the bow of tho boat, and stood there with some forty of filly others in the most intense anxiety, the vessel tossing violently lo and fro, and the air filled with the agonizing shrieks of the wounded mid (he dying, mingled with the fruitless appeals of those in the water asking for help. At this lime the mast, by means of which a large portion of those about him were enabled to keep their plae.es on the forward deck, gave way, and in falling killed a French gentleman, a mer chant of high respectability of I’hiladelphia. 'l'ho name of this individual is unknown, hut lie had been in the south and was illuming home when he met his untimely end—his lemams were cemmiltod to the deep after a brief prayer. In loss than an hour after the explosion, the, boil parted in two, and the larger portion of it, lov.hiidi Ihe machinery was attached, sunk mi. mediately, carrying with it many passengers, par ticularly the ladies who wore in the cabin. It was subsequently ascertained that four portions of the wreck lemamcd to float, all of them sup porting a greater or less number of sulleiers. On that part ol the wreck on width our informant was, there were about thirty. The portions ol the steamboat remained for some time near each other, but were finally separated by waves, and were not afterwards seen. (if ('iiplnin IKihois nothing was se n after tho explosion of the boiler, unci the supposition is (bat be was immediately killed. To the great presence of mind of Major Heath, the persons on the wreck with him most .probably owu their safety. Ho never once sutlered Ids courage to ling, nor did he ever allow for a mo meet that llio.-c with him had no hope of safety. The sufferings they emlmcd were dreadful in deed. Tidily human .beings, unused to hardship, suddenly set. afloat on n tough sea, —their only dependence the fragments of a trail vessel, to keep which together requited all their exertions, —im- mersed in writer lo their knees, exposed lo the sun with scarcely any clothes upon then, and suffer | mg the agoides of hunger and thirst for four days ami four nights, is a situation more easily con. ceived than described. To add to their distress they desorb d four ve-sels, which passed near I hem, but as they could make no signal they were not perceived by them, and they were ready lo yield lo despair us they saw them keep on their course regardless ol (heir feeble cries. They were at one peiiod within half a mile of the shore, but were i again driven out to sea by the violence of the i wind. On the morning of the fifth day a schoo ner hove in sight and made sail towards them. The pumped ol immediate relief now ebeeied their drooping spims, but p was only for a mo ment, for site made a lack which led them lo sup pose that she 100 was about lo abandon them. !She soon, however, lignin made towards them with all sail set, and when she came within had. mg distance, the Captain called to them to boos | good cheer, as lie would lake them oil, which he , did with the utmost erne, Major If. being ihe lasi | who It ti die wreck. W bii.-t they were on the wierk several died of j I,eigne and hunger, and at one peiiod a piopo.-i [ lion was made lo draw lots who should bo killed, for tbe sustenance of the rest, but it was at once rejected, and never afterwards renewed. When they aimed at Wilmington, Ihe inha. hi Units ol that city extended towards them every possible kindness that it was in their power to bestow. Modi' al advice, which was much nee ded, was immediately ullordcd them. Their hou i s.'s were thrown open, and their wardrobes and I purses liecly tendered to them. The hospitality | of the people id Wilmington is spoken of in terms j of the wannest gratitude. N'oi was this all. An order was passed along the line of stages and steamboats, North and South, to allow them to travel free ol expense, and to receive nothing bom them. No baggage ol any kind was saved. All tire passengers had money, which was m their trunks, and il is estimated that at least #>1511,000 in bank notes and specie have been lost, and upwards ol i #lO,OOO in watches and jewelry. Jit -ides the sixteen passengers saved in the boats, and the thirty picked up Ironi the wreck, 1 ;, s above detailed, the Norfolk Herald slates that thirteen mure ol the passengers had been picked up -making titty nine saved, as tar us ascertained. Among the incidents ol tins appalling ilisa-tcr, ihe all'ecling one is menlioned that the Kev. Ur. \1 ert ami wile, alter a most lervenl prayer, etas ped their child in a mutual embrace, and in a lew ! minutes the three sunk together icsiguedly into the waves of death. Major lliitih heard of the anival of one of the other wrecks, but he knows not what became of the two mis. ing ones. 1 Ihe cause ol the accident attributed bv the j pa.,senge.s enliiely lo the improper conduct ol tbe find engineer, who pci isled in canying a heavy j piesMirc ol loam 111 spin ol repe.i ed leiiiunstlam ; ecs, Oncol tho passcngeis examined ihe steam gnago fieqm nlly, and mtoimed In.- ft lends Hun ■ the tarsi was emrying Unity inches ol steam, ■ which he nia.lcd wa.- moit than was piudeat.

For one, 1 must ask leave to disagree with the gentleman respecting hotlr lots, slating at lire same lime, that of the two, 1 would prefer tHut nea r Cuininiiig’s. Should both he scanned hy the eye of a military man, 1 would venture to anticipate his decision in favor of the same.— li would he very difficult for any Engineer to plan a structure near the Masonic Hall, which would al the same time combine practical offensive and defensive operations. The underground or present cellar ap proaches arc to he first considered and provided for, then the Ist, -d, tid, story, and roof approach es, then the Broad sheet, and then the Jackson st., approaches, are all to be guarded, so that unless the whole block of buildings on that square could lie remodelled, it is not probable that a plan could l>e devised within any reasonable limits of expen diture. —The silo near Gumming’s, could be made to cover the Washington st., and Reynold, si., approaches, and the church or any wooden house near it—that would become the rallying point ol an enemy could soon be managed with a few red shot. It the arsenal is not to be garrisoned it must be so constructed as to exclude both parties in ease of sudden alarm, and if it is to be garrison ed, the site need not lie located in the midst of our population. It is not to be expected that it would be lire place of tendesvous lor either friend, or enemy; for if made lire object of an attack, its friends must organize elsewhere, and march to its relief. As a depot for tiro arms and munitions of war, the extent of its inlluoncc both offensive and defensive should he the main point. From these consideratio,.s 1 arn led to believe that the vacant lots in front of the Planter's Ho tel would afford a better site than either of them and as lire city have already an interest in the properly and the present owners of the oilier lots find it inconvenient to build on them, they could be bought perhaps on good terms. The whole space could then be enclosed and planted with trees, and such part of it as may lie desirable, ap propriated to the use ol the rnililaiy.

'J'ho Mexican papers lo ihe Bth Juno, rcceiveil I by us, contain,as usual, a largo infusion of coarse j diatribes against the French minister, whose do- ! ; parlure (or Fiance we announced on the litli of j June. The passports of the Consul, at Vera j , Cruz, had been abruptly rent lo him, with orders • lo quit the counliy, for having, as it is said.tjrcaf-* offended Ike .Mexican uulkoiUtts. It would, perhaps, be justice to say, for having defended his Government against the ignoble attacks of the Mexican press. However this may bo, the expulsion ul M Cloux, without previous explan, alien, can only he considered in the light of a new insult lo a nation which only exacts what is right, and only claims satisfaction for past inju l The Mexican papers laud the condescension of I the President of the United Mules to the skies for | having consented lo submit to the arbitration of a third power, the differences between the two i countries, and profit by this circumstance to draw ! insulting comparisons between this country and | France. Put they entirely forget that the Presi | dent by admitting the arbitration, signifies posi. lively that ho cannot suspend tiro action upon j lire decrees of Congress until after adcliriilive ar i rangemcnl, whence it results that with regard to j the United Stales, affairs continue in precisely the same stale. Different statements are given in the journals i ol the capital, concerning the insurrection at Sin j alou, at lint head of which is Uvrea, who has as | sumed the title of Protector; the revolt at St Louis \do Potosi seems to have been of greater impor ; lance than was anticipa cd, and at Aguas Cali cities a /irmmnciumiento appeared lo have cxcL ; led the more alarm, as the rebels were marching ■ towards Zacatuas, where they hoped to stir up j th° populace, who wore already disposed lo take I part with them. 1' t orn these demonstrations, wo conclude that j hut little tranquility prevails in the country ; hut that at the same time nothing very decisive has j yet occurred. It, however, the news from Yuca tan, which came to us by the north, be eonliri ed; ! and if the Government troops have been compell ! c 10 abandon Merida, wo may with justice infer [ the ultimate triumph of the Federal parly. Tiro report which had gone forth, that Santa Ana had been appointed to the Government of Vera Cruz, was without foundation. General Riacon still commands at that port, and unless President Bus tamente has abandoned all prudence, he will not recall to political eminence a man like Santa Ana, whose perfidy and faithlessness have injured this country as much as Bustamcntc himself. From time alone can any improvements in the civil and military polity of Mexico ho expected. The departure ol Baron Dofaudis evinces a determin ation lo prolong Ihe blockade. The large num ber of vessels at the Isle of Sacrifices’ proves that the severity of the blockade is increasing; but we do not anticipate a speedy bombardment. It is llte ultima ratio, and will only be employed when all other means have proven unavailing. Counteuff.it Texas Notes.—A Tcxian pa per ol the 391 h June states that a gentleman from New Orleans brought with him fifteen hundred dollars in the old notes of the government, all of which, on examination at the treasury depart ment, proved to be counterfeit. Tito gentleman holding the notes had gone out with his family to settle in Texas, and thus found himself in a mo ment stripped of his immediate resources in the midst of strangers. The “Banner 1 ’ observes “this should operate as a lesson to those coming to this country, never to make purchase of our money, until they reach New Orleans, and then to have recourse, always before buying to some one ol the houses there, connected with our bade, for infer ! tnalion as lo the genuineness of the notes they may wish to purchase—upon the same principle that a practised traveller, iw a large city, never asks his way of a passcr-hy in the streets, but goes, al ways, tor the desired information into a shop.” I'tunt the Creek Nation, To lint Falilor of the Arkansas Gazette.

Sir: It is with feelings of regret litat ilic Un dersigned, chiefs ol the Greek nation, have had interpreted lo them a report, in your paper, of May BOth, slating that the Creek Indians show but little disposition to plant corn and that in several instances, they have destroyed their own fences, and that the old women have been heard lo decline that, as soon as the green corn was fit to pull, the whites must look out; and that most of them carry the marks of determined vengeance in their countenances; and that this report has come through so respectable a source as lo leave no doubt ol the tact, as it was given by a gentle man who has been, for several years, assisting in llte emigration of the Indians west. That a great portion of the Greeks have been removed at llte point of the bayonet is but 100 true; aad that there is a dissatisfaction among them is a'so true; yet they look up to the government for the fulfil ment of the promises their agents have made thorn. When that is done, all will be right with the Muscogee people ; and until that is done, they will not consider themselves fairly dealt with. And, as lo any disposition to hostilities among us we know nothing of it; neither has the first rail of a fence been, destroyed, nor have wo heard any thing ot the old woman’s report, that the white people must look out as soon as the green corn is ripe. The Muscogee nation have, at this lime, as good a prospect of a good crop of corn, considering the late apt ing, and the small quantity of fanning tools, as they ever had. 'Fite gentleman who was the origin ol this report was ! mistaken, and wo should like lor you to give, his I name, as wo know ol no one who has been recently in the Greek nation, who has been era- I ployed, lor years, in the emigrating of Indians; I and we, the undersigned chiefs, do declare the re. ! pjtl of hostilities against the whites to ho utterly j untrue. They have too much love for their | wives mid children to cherish such an idea for u j moment. The Greek delegation, on their arrival at Van j Burcn, ill Crawford county, Arkansas, were there told, to their surprise ol the report in circulation about the Grcelts, and some attempts were made j to slop them, until ihe facts could be ascertained ; j yet, through the influence of some friends, they were permitted lo continue home; and they lake pleasure in announcing to their Arkansas broth ers, and the world, that the report is all false, and hope that you will give this as a true statement in your paper. With respect, we are, your friends and brothers. [Signed by Koley Mclntosh, Fush hatchey Micco, and twenty two other chiefs ] 13. MARSHALL, Interpreter. Eli Jai nits, G. G. From tin' National Intelligencer, July 3. The Bill lo increase the I’resent Military Establishment. The bill which, for seven al days past, has been the subject of discussion in the House of Repre sentatives, was, allot receiving much amendment, ordered on Friday night to a third reading, and was read a third time on Saturday, when a mo tion was made lo reconsider the vole by which it pas.-cd; which motion is yet undecided. Doubt ing not that our distant friends in the Army, and our readers generally, desire to know something ol tin- measure of the proposed increase, wo have, alter particular examination of its provisions, pro pared the following synopsis ; in I.

( rAY -1 he pay off die non-commissioned officers and private is suirpvliat increased—artillery and in fantry private! to eight dollars. An additional ration, estimated at 20 cents, U allowed each officer for every live years ho may have served 111 the Army. Thus, an officer who may have sorted twenty years, under the rank ul a general officer, would, hereafter, he entitled to the additional allowance ol four rations, or eighty cents per clay, and no more. The pay and emoluments of the engineers and ordnance are -advanced to those of cavalry rates, which constitute them mounted corps, and nut as heretofore, officers of fool. The pay of the artillery a „d infantry officers has nut been ad van ceil. There are other minor provisions which wo have not time to examine : among these, forty dollars and tour rations, &c , are to bo allowed to such persons as may be employed by the officers ol any garrison to officiate as chaplain, who shall perform also the duties ot schoolmaster at the post. , rrom the same of July 3. r i he bill to increase the Military Establishment ol the United Slates, as amended in the Houso <d Representatives, and published by us, yester day passed its third reading in the House of Hep- p rcsenlalivcs, and was returned to the Senate for * Concurrence in the amendments. Some amends meat may be made in the Senate to these amend ments of the House; but it can hardly ho doubled, alter the decisive votes in both Houses, that the bill will become a law. In preparing our synopsis of the bill wo meant (u show the actual increase of numbers. Whilst the number in the Quartermaster's Department is increased by the addition of only eight officers, the number of commissioned officers added to the existing establishment, by the augmentation in that depai Intent of the Staff; is 32. If we deduct the 20 wagon-masteis, and the 20 Lieutenants ot Artillery transferred to the Ordnance, the acces. slim ol commissioned officers will then be 136, instead of 146, as stated in the synopsis. ■M nn n|„ lig i'IWH 'DNWM— COMMERCTA L.
