While Mexico has professed inability to suppress theao bor der outrages, she has persistently refused cooperative measures to provoat them, tod punish the robbers.

Bismarck was thrown over tho bridge by Chief and would have been drowned but for the as hy the Liberian Exodua AnsosiaUon. Va rious ciroumstanoos, however, have de layed her departure, tho main impedi menta being want of or'■h and the pro pensity of the blacks, despite all precau tions of the custom officers, to crowd a larger number of passengers betwoen decks than the law allows. 'Ihe task of examining the ship and landing the surplus emigrants was per formed no leas than three times, and It was not until a guard was pnt aboard by tho Collector, that the bark could be kept in a condition to be properly cleared.

Constantinoplk, April 21.—There was Admiral Hornby’s guard boats are on the alsrt for Ruastnn torpedo expeditions in the son of Marmora. London, April 22.—The Times St. Pe tersburg correspondent telegraphs as fol lows : “The principle of a simultaneous withdrawal of tbe Russian and English from tho immediate neighborhood of Con stantinople was accepted in London and Sr. Petersburg, but as soon as iu appli cation came to be discussed, serious diffi culties arose. Eioh party was afraid of losing by the transaction. Russia thinks if the British fleet go to Besiks Bay they ought to withdraw only n day’s march. Tbe English maintain they ought to withdraw to Adrisnople, which is twenty- four hour’s railway journey distant from Constantinople. Another disturbing element is the fear than the Porte may take advantage, in tbo absence of the foreiga force?, to in- creaso hia Knd fortifications, or close the Dardanelles, according as British or Rus sian infiuenee is predominant. It appotrs that tho English and Rus sian Cabinets are willing to accept the principle that the Congress shall examine the cbnrgoa necessary in existing treaties, bat Euglaud insists on a clear and for mal recognition of tho wide principle that all great changes in the East, such os these proposed in thu treaty of San Stefano, constitute European and not merely Russo-Tarkish questions. Rus sia’s acceptance of tins principle will greatly depend on the way m which tt is formulated. There may be a secret con sciousness that tho jealous exclusion of Europe from all knowledge of negotia tions between Russia and Turkey was a gravo mistake: but there certainly will be no opon avowal to that effect. Tho Times Calcutta dispatch reports all tho eucrgicsof government concentra ted on war preparations. London, April 22.—In spito of nego tiation concerntDg tho simultaneous with drawal of the Eaglisb fleet and Russian forces from the neighborhood of Constan tinople, tho prevailing feeling in the English pre»s i« ono of great uneasiness. It is noticeable that all tbe Berlin spe cials to tho English papers are couched in a very despondent tou*. They dwell upon difficulties which will bo encounter ed in settling tho details of any schema for this withdrawal. The Times and Daily Telegraph’s Vienna correspondents write in tho same tone. Snddeu Death of ffm. Orton. Nbw York, April 22.—Hon. Wm. Or ton. President of tho Western Union Tel egraphing Company, expired this morn ing at seven o’clock, of apoplexy, with which bo was stricken at eleven last night. Congress. Washington, April 22.—Harris, of Tennessee, iuirodnced a bill to repeal seotion 3,412 of the xevised statutes, which provides for a tax on notes of Suite banking aesoeiatiocE—which was refer red to the committee on finance.
