of the citizens of Cincinnati.
Mr. Mnamai who inlrnduced the petition, and
who it a. staunch a friend of the Administration

subject nf ton much delicacy In be acted on in
Congress. unless there should come tn them such
a meninrinl, expressive nf the public sentiment in
fnvnr nf it, ns would render it ucce»«ary for a
Government nctirm upon it. It it whispered, and
inderd it has been for some time past, that the sub

channels, nml, that a sort of ncgociation on the

camped for the night. General Scott w.as tloubt-

tlto gratification of seeing Oscnta with his force
the next morning grounding their arips ami beg

of march, nnd scarcely had die right column die
battle lasted fin n««r an hour; enly a small por-
fon uf our troops were occasionally engaged. Tire
strength nf tire enemy did net exceed 150. ITnw
many of them were killed or wounded, we bad
no means nf knowing. Cim-iderable Idund was
found un the Baltic gntund. We hurl 4 men kil

On the second day of A pril, by order of Gen.

detached fnr.llic purpose of erecting n block house
and pickets nt a pusiriun nboutTS miles south of
tire river! nnd 20 miles west of llte bottle ground
of Dade; while the balance nf lire army condon

5th, at sunrise, the Indians commenced an attack
upon the po-l, and 'cuotihned it daily ttriiil llte
evening of the 17th, wherf the approach of the
army induced them to decline any farmer attack.
That of the 5lli wo* wholly unexpected ran the

IMPORTANT FROM JAMAICA—EF-
FECTS OF ABOLITION.
Wo have received our files from Kingston to
April 2d. We regret to see, but could not have
expected any other result from the iniquitous pro
ceedings or the abolitionists of the British Parlia
ment, dint the feeling of dissnlisfacliou prevails ift
n great extent upon this nnce prosperous island.
Plundered os they have been, by tlie apprentice
ship lira-connected mlheeonvcnticlesoftlio saints
of Aldermaubury-Ktreet, what eisecuuld we anti
cipate but scene* of riot and confusion among the
negroes and distress and heartburning contentions
between the official authority attempting tu exe
cute ah impracticable law ; and the planters Who
have, in fact, -become tho aggrieved, oppressed
slaves of power. The Governor, the Marquis of
Sligo, on tho 3I*t.of Morch, again prdingued llte’
Assembly to meet May l?di. The- despatch
says:— •
“Wc consider Canada Inst to tits British nation,
and will! their defection must fall Novn Scotia.
Now Brunswick, Cnpe Breton, Prince Edward Is
land ami Newfoundland, nntl With them ouf fish
eries, tho greatest *uuree r of our wealth ; and then
iho West India Colonies from Dotnerara io Jamui'
cn. must belong tnthc nnly couptry thiituan;prd
tact and support them."
Most pi tlto ships which in other years would
have carried home sugar, will now so back in bob
Inst. This is caused nett only -by the apprentice
ship law, but because Parliament now favors the
E. I. -.Sugar. trade. After growing, rieh out of
her West Indja planters, she turns her back, upon
them.
It is calculated that two thirds of tlto British W
I. Colonies, will have licgn thrown out'of cultjv'a
tinn by the'disorganizing and disastrous operation
oflhe nppreaticcsliip law. .
. The Jamaica papers ore engrossed with the
subject, as might be supposed,- and speak a lan
guage made inure eloquent by the wnnttds with
which their pride apt! feelingsafe excoriated, and
the deep pecuniary losses which they'hnvo'expe
rienced. Already we may Say to our neighbors
nnd kindred of Jamaica, lirey begin to see about
ta be realized the frightful consequences which
-hypocrisy, tinder the mask'of religion, always
brings in- its traiu, and effects will be-the depopu
lation of tlte Brjiisli W. 1, Islands, ami of neces
sity a vukt increase of- slave impnrialiuf) in the
Spanish nnd French, nnd other islands, to make
up for the chustn created, by the abstraction’ of

The, United States and Mexico—Wo copy
un lire government paper of yesterday a treaty
with die Republic pf Mexico, the ratifications of '
winch ^rare exchanged no longer ago than thn
80th rest. The object of this treaty is in revive
nn obsolete provision in the treaty negotiated with
Mexico in 1828, nnd ratified in 1832, for ascer-
fitining and marking lire boundary lino between
•y e , lefrittrey of Mexico (Texas iu part) and tho
United State*. Each party is to appoint a Com
missioner nud Surveyor for that purpose, end both
governments solerouly engage to provide any
lurce that maybe iteccssary to protect the Coni-
missiouers and Surveyors lu carrying the object of
lire Treaty into effect.
Il is a remarkable circumstance that the ratifi
cation ol tins renewarora treaty of limits—this'
solemn pledge of amity with Mexico, should be
exchanged at die very moment when friends of
the administration, aye, nnd pretty high officers
under the government too, are arming bodies of
men, and encouraging ilrem to march into the
very territory which the government is by treaty
raising as within tha irJt£S&
recognising its within the undoubted limits of
Mexico* -
^YVe have recent arrivals from Europe—the
Sheffield which arrived in New York on the 19di
ot just ninUh, brought London papers to die 8th,
nud,,Liverpool lo u le 9ih of March, and Paris
journals to the 4tbof that month. Our extracts
are pretty full and by nn means unimportant.—
We are disposed to think, from these accounts,
dint the gignntic and domineering strides of die
Russian autocrat will very speedily plunge the
entire of Europe in the .dread horrors of war. A
small community, dint of Cracow, winch'ha*
been recoguized by the European powersasa neu-
tral Suite, and which dpes not possess altogether
a population exceeding fifteen thousand souls, ha*
haiHis neutrality violated, and under tho flimsy
pretext ursheltering refugee Poles, Itns been token -
possession of; by the barbarian troops of Russia.
J|te circumstance lias been referred to in lbs
English'Htiuse uf Commons, and the Secretary
of Suite for Foreign Affitirs, Lord Palmerston,
stated in explanation, that though it was a cir
cumstance tif-which the government hnd nul re
ceived official information, tie was not disposed re
attuch any doubt to it, and that it should not «ai«<
unnoticed.—Mob. Adv. ' .
Tug Public Money—The refusal of the-
House of Representatives to allow nny inquiry
into lira'condition nf the public money, is calcu
lated to give rise’ tu the worst suspicions ait tn the
safety of the immense sums now on deposite. It
is u rare ihingibr- either House of Congress to vote
down, unceremoniously, a resolution ofinquiry—-
but all sense of delicacy and courtesy is set aside,
when its indulgence might lead lo exposures un
palatable retire (tuny in poyvcr. There is but one
opinion at Washington us to the critical situation
nf (lie public fuuds—all agree, that that portion of
litem lodged in some of the Western banka is in
imminent danger pf being Inst to the Government.
