an intelligent community will repose confi

We left Buffalo on Saturday, 20th Aug-
at II A. M. for Niagara Falls, 22 miles
crossed Niagara river from Black Rock,and
landed in Canada at the village of Water
loo, where we found stages. The drive to
tbe falls was very pleasant along the top of
tbe river bank, the country being thickly
settled, well cultivated and fertile, nor
would we have known that we were in bis
Majesty’s dominions, but for an occnaional
sign post with the crown nr British arms on
it. For a part of the way the opposite shore
waa formed by Grand Island, purchased by
Noah for the Jewish colony, being about
10 miles long and from 2 to O’ broad, of a
good soil and nearly covered with timber of
large growth. The foundation of a new
city to be called Arrarat is to be laid on
that part, opposite the Canal, before it rea

W ASHINOTON^ Sept. 24—We are inform

Com. David Porter has lately been invited
to enter the service ofthe Republic of Mex
ico, as Commander in chief of its naval
forces. The Executive of that Republic
decided, on the 4th of July last, to recom
mend to the Council of the Government to
tender this appointment to Com. Porter;—
on the 30th of July the proposition was ap
proved by the Council, and the offer has
accordingly been made to him. We under
stand, also, that a similar overture has been
made to Com P. on the part of the gov

We have not understood what Commo
dore Porter’s dertermination is in relation
to either of these offers.
The navy of Mexico, we are informed,
will shortly consist of one lino of battle
ship, four or five frigates, and some smaller
vessels. We presume its ultimate augmen

of Columbia will consist, in a short time, of
