But an oar is now held up in their boat, il signifies that their line is rapidly running out; two hundred fathoms are nearly exhausted; up flies one ol'the other boats and “bends on" another line, just in lime to save that which was nearly lost, lint still the monster de scends; he is seeking to rid himself of his ene mies by descending into the da k and unknown depths of the vast ocean.

The whale is now seen approaching the surface; the gurgling and bubbling water which rises before, also proclaims that he is near; his nose starts from the sea ; the rushing spout is projected high and suddenly, from his agition. The "slack” of the lines is now coiled in the tubs, and these in the "last” boat haul themselves gently towards the whale; the boat-sfeerer places the headsman close to the fin of the trembling animal, who immediately buries his long lance in the vitals of the leviathan, while al the same mo ment, those m one ol the other boats dart another harpoon into his opposite side, when “Stern all!” i-t again vociferated and the boats shoot rapidly away from tire danger.

Mexican Tiibaty.— The New York Courier s iys:—lt may not he recollected that a treaty was [ negoejatedin Washington, in September last, be tween the Government of the United Stales and I Mexico, which the latter did not ratify. A sat ifactory explanation why it was not ratified, we learn, has been received by (he President. This | circumstance evinces the forbearance of our Go i veru nenl, while it strengthens our claims upon j that of Mexico—any further attempt, therefore, j ou their part, to procrastinate or evade a settle ment, would justify strong measures hy the lu ted States; and sueh measures, we presume, Con j gress would feel themselves called upon to adopt, |if the contingency should occur. The provis ions I of the treaty, as we understand them, are of the j most liberal character in relation to Mexico. One | year will expire before the Commissioners meet, | and their sittings are to continue for eighteen months. It is not probable, therefore, that they will be required to mal* any payment, in less than three years, and then only in small sums, at distant intervals.

McKinney then enquired of the Col. where Muscat was, and what was the extent of its commerce, and said ho would sit down to citable the Col. to give the de sired information. The Col. finding his geogra phy at fault, rose, scratching his head, and hom’d and haw’d, and said ho had unfortunately left behind him his documents, without which he was unable to answer the question.

The Bank of En gland, under the unsettled state of affairs, has suddenly raised her rate of interest to 5 percent. Ihe corn laws, anil the diminished supply have contributed to this inquietude. The difficulties in France have, as wc liad anticipated, assumed a serious aspect, and blood has lieen shed by the government in suppuessmgun insurrection in the streets of Baris. The British Queen -was to sail July Ist.

It is difficult to say what effect this measure • will have on the foreign exchanges, and the cx i portation of precious metals from the Bank.

INSUUUECTION IN I’AHIS. On Sunday, the 12th of May, at three in the aftei’Mion, some 2 to 4UO men attired in the usual workmen’s dress of frocks (blue smocks) and caps collected in the Rue St. Denis, and followed by a crowd, presented themselves at the gun shop of Lepage brothers. After breaking down the doors and masonry with their hatchets, they took 150 sporting pieces, and armed with these, proceeded. After passing down the Rue St. Denis, the favor ite focus of all previous insurrections, and reaching the quays, they divided. One portion went to the post on the Quai anx Fleurs, adjoining the Palais de Justice,and firing on the sentinels, killed a young man and wounded the sergeant in com mand, when the rest, being young conscripts sur rendered. They then attacked the Palais do Jus tine, where they were repulsed by the municipal guard, and lost several killed. The military post of the Place du Cha tele t, and the Hotel do Ville, delended by national guards, were surprised by the other two parties, and taken possession of.— A party then proceeded to the Perfeclurcs of Po lice, where they found the gates shut. They then returned to the Hotel do Ville, and turned over the oinnihusses they met with, erecting them in to barricades. ■‘•Another party roturned towards the Point Neuf. perfectly at leisure and at their ease, ns I , saw them at the revolution, and subsequently on ’ the fifth of June, 1832 k “Several dead bodies were brought to the Morgue and among them two women—one ele gantly dressed, and the other of the working or lower orders. These events took a little time. But soon that troops were to assemble, and by four o’clock sear end bodies of municipal guards, foot and horse', advanced to the Place de Greve, before the Holidi dc Ville. A detachment of horse municipals m suing from the Rue dcs Arcis, first received tike fire of the insurgents. The detachment lost Ibe two first horsemen by the discharge and immeiß atcly turned round .to rally somewhat further back. Other detachments, however, arrived.— Firing continued, and at length the insurgent!® abandoned the Place and the Quai, and retired in the direction of the Rue St. Avoye. “Such was the situation of affairs At five o’elcti. The three disarmed posts were shut. The nnu -1 uieipal guard occupied the Hotel de Ville and lie quays between the Port au Change and die P art an Bles. Great emotion was of course produced. The recall was beaten by the drummers of the National Guard, whilst the insurgents, about Jut), marched in a long file "towards the Boulev ards by the small street to'fhe right of the Rue St. Martin.—Up to the hour wo write, the move ment is concentrated between the Place du Chatelet and the Hotel de d ille. At 8 o'clock, the insurgents received reinforce ments, and made a demonstration upon that part, of the Louvre by the Rue Coq St. Honore, and , the Rue Croix des Petits Champs, but were de terred from an attack by finding the gates shut, and the troops within, ready to receive them.— i At the Rue Hauteville they shot a national guard, t a painter by profession. The whole garrison of regular troops at Paris, and all the National Guards, were by thistime in ' ) motion. A strong body was sent to protect the ■ Castle of Vincennes. 1 Six or eight regiments of the garrison were, it is said, at the moment, under orders to be trans ferred to the departments, intimations having been ‘ given that they had been successfully tampered. f[ with by the disorganizers, whose intentions to I create an entente had long been anticipated. It is not believed the insurgents had depots of arms, as was rumored, but the uniformity in the dress they wore, gave the appearance of preparation. No rallying cry was heard from them, but only savage yells. 1 When the attack was made most of the irv ’ habitants of the capital were at the races on the j Champs do Mara, or at their evening repast, ' j Two of the mounted Municipal guards in pro ceeding to the rescue of the Hotel de Ville, were ' shot down near that building. The National Guard and two regiments of the , line 'assembled on the Place du ( arrousel, (at the Tuillerios Palace) at 5 P. M. The gates of 1 all the gardens in front, and also the Court ol I) the Louvre, were instantly closed. There seemed h at this time much hesitancy in the National Guard to respond to the rappel, lu the crowd ~ near the Pont Neuf. a man and woman held i aloft two bust of Napoleon. In Rue St. Dennis, though not over a hundred insurgents were pre- sent, they tore up the pavements with amazing ’’ speed, and threw chairs, furniture, No. from the houses with an agility which showed that they ll * were no inexperienced hands at barricade making —murmuring as they worked. “A bas Louis Phillippe,” In the eabaicts, (drinking shops,) •n they were seen talking very eozily with several ; soldiers of the line, e- At U P.

The u- insurgents could not maintain their ground tie against such an overwhelming force as now ad vanced against them. After losing about forty I men, they fled mwaids the Uluilie St. Mary, the Thennopyla- of French insurrection. Here they were agmn defeated. At 4 P. M.,tlie insurgents, says a letter, had advanced as far as the Palais Royal, hut “ were repulsed, and are now dispersed. The Place du Carrousel is covered with troops ranged in order of battle, with cannon, &c., but it is to be hoped that they will have nothing to do.” Up to Wed nesday morning, Ihe 15th a tele graphic despatch by Calais announces that order was perfectly restored. The rumors of inaurrec ' tions at Lyons aud elsewhere were unfounded. The movement, to whatever source attributable, (and curious suspicions are afloat,) effected an object long desired, by stimulating the high con- I trading parties around the Court to the immedi- I ate formation of a Ministry, which consists of I Marshal Soult, Secretary of Foreign Affairs and President of the Council. M. Teste, Keeper of the Seals. General Schneider, War Minister. Admiral Duporre, Minister of Marine. M. IJuchatcl, Home Minister. AT. Cunin Gridaine, Commerce Minister. V/. Dnfaurc, Minister of the Public Works. M- Villcmain, Minister of Public Instruction, M. Passy, Minister of Finance. Thu important offices of War, the Interior and F(uncivil Adairs, it wall be seen, are all retained by iim Doctrinaires and Court parly, certain of the secondary portfolios having been given to a m Centre-Gauche members, who have allowed themselves to be gained over from the Liberal j side of (he Chamber. At the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies the Ministers all made their appearance, when Mar shal Boult ascended the tribune, and said— '“Gentlemen, the ministry is constituted. The King has made me its President. lam confident that names will be acceptable, as they suit hefordhand the wishes of the Chambers. I honor myself fey partaking of their responsibility before i the King and before the Chamber. The art o' 1 those ministers accepting office is a proof of their devotion lu (Ihe Throne and to the King. We are all agreed a* to our political principles, which have been accepted by the Crown.

From the New Orleans True American. Texas—Mexico. From the tenor of the late news received by the Woodbury, there can be no doubt of the designs of Santa Anna in regard to Texas.— Forbidden by his own promises to Texians, which, policy only induces him to keep, he will never invade in person the revolted territory ; but he will urge the Congress of Mexico to pass laws declaiing war against Texas, and Busta mentc will he charged with the difficult task of carrying into effect the decrees of the supreme government. The hero of Jacinto will, in the meantime, be declared Dictator of Mexico, and while his rival shall be warringagainst the Texians he will be quietly sitting in the National Palace, covered with the laurels gained at Vera Cruz and Puebla, devising means to consolidate his power and to erect a despotic government upon the ruins of the constitution of 1824. His very first ) step after he is made Dictator will be to declare all the ports of Mexico, except Vera Cruz, closed against foreign commerce. In this way he hopes to drive out of the country all the foreigners, at whoso door he lays all the trouble and discord that have for so many years distracted the re public. But what will the Texians he doing in the meantime! Another contest between Mexico and the new Anglo Saxon republic will prove fatal to the future peace of the Mexican provinces, and now in our humble opinion, all Santa Anna’s i dreams of despotic power are destined to he dis- I sipated. That Bustamente may fall in the con- I diet, is extremely probable. So far Santa Anna’s [ hopes may be realized, but that any of his other j schemes will succeed, wo cannot believe. Col. ! Bee’s mission will unravel the thread of the fu i ture. Even if he is not maltreated, not murdered, i not imprisoned, there is no hope of his being able to effect a ticaty of peace with the perfidious i Mexicans. He will just sec enough to convince ; him, if he is allowed to return, that the duty of Texas will be to carry her arms to Ihe city of Mexico, and from thence command into suhmis i sion the restless and faithless leaders of the country. It is idle to suppose that Texas can ever bc- I come a great nation within her present limits. Her people arc bone of our bone, flesh of our flesh. Their habit# are the same. They will not suffer pressure from without. A foe, on their south west border, a deadly foe, they can never permit. To suppose that Texas as now bounded can ever become respected abroad, while Mexico is her neighbor, would be ns absurd ns to suppose that any single State of this Union, separated from the rest, could exist as an independent and sovereign nation. The weaker party must give way, and in the present ease, that party is Mexico. There is a law in Texas authorising the arming ot 60,000 men. For what! To carry the war into tlie enemy’s country, in the event of the un successful mission of Colonel Bee. The policy of Texas is simple and plain. Mexico declared as late as the 4th of May, through a proclama tion issued by Bustamente, that after the fall of Tampico, no enemy to the Supreme Government was left except Texas. “Reserve your valor, soldiers, for the subjugation of this revolted pro vince,” says this general. Texas then is in danger. Thousands of free men will fly from this country to the relief of their brethren beyond the Sabine. Let the war cry bo raised, let the “single star” be uplifted, and Texas will go forth conquering and to con qner. Metamoras will first fall. From this ad vanced post supplies can be easily transmitted to the armies of the republic. Tampico is not destined to remain long in the hands of the cen tral power. Thence the march into Mexico it self is easy—Two armies, the one by the south ern and (ho other by the northern route, could sweep all before them. The federalists would rise and aid the Anglo Saxons in their invasion, for they would bear in one hand the torch of lib erty and in the other the sword for the tyrants, A war, an offensive war against Mexico, will be the safeguard of Texas. Peace will he in hoi borders while the strife would be removed tn the eternal hills of Mexico. Let her government i once adopt Ibis plain policy, and freedom will raise her banners on the walls of Mexico, before another yaar shall roll round. Look at the con j dition of things in Mexico and Texas, as we maj I n storm cloud darkens the horizon; it is destine! 1 to break over the heads of the perfidious Mcxi ran. j Swkf.ts op MvrniMONT.—Wesecit slalei ? that a lady in a neighboring State has applied so 1 a divorce from her husband because he would al • ways insist on licking the cork of the molasse «• jug when she unstopped it.

We believe they refuse a divorce unless the husband absolutely lielm the 1 wife herself, which is a little worse than licking : the molasses stopple.— N. Y.

That Mr. Van Burcn is and was a Missouri Rcstrictionist, the following preamble and resolu tions adopted by the Senate of New-York, most conclusively prove. Preamble and Resolutions.—Whereas, the inhibiting the further extension of slavery in these United Slates, is a subject of deep concern to the people of this State; and whereas, we con sider slavery ns an evil much to be deplored, and that every constitutional barrier should be inter posed to prevent its further extension; and that the Constitution of the United States, clearly giving Congress the right to require of new States j not comprised within the original boundaries of I the I mted States, the prohibition of slavery, as a j- condition ol their admission into the Union; ( Therefore, I “ Resolved, (if the honorable Senate concur I therein,) That our Senators he instructed, and our Representatives in Congress be requested, to , oppose the admission as a State, into the Union, ol any territory not comprised us aforesaid, ma king the prohibition of slavery therein an indis , pensable condition of admission. t “On the 29th of January 1820, the Senate t took up the Resolution and passed the same ■ unanimously, the following Senators being pre . sent; r “ Messrs.

Some of the most unscrupulous of the Adminis , tration Parly have the affrontry to deny that Mr. , Van Burcn gave, in the New-York Convention, . a vote to invest free negroes with the right ofsuf- C frage. They do not believe their own assertions, I because the record is too stubborn, but they bra- C zen it out in the presence of the plain people of [ the country, where the evidence is not always at I hand. If shown a ne.vspaper containing the proof, they swear it is a “Whig lie,” and thus by impudence they accomplish what they cannot by argument. But these efforts are loosing their f effect. The Enquirer is deaf when the charge I is made—or. if it speaks at all, it makes an apolo -5 gy for the “Northern man with Southern feel ings,” by declaring that he voted to add a proper ty qualification, by which the number of negro votes under the new Constitution, as compared with the old, was considered diminished. But even this adroit champion of the Democracy can not get over the fact, that his pet also voted to re f strict the suffrage of the while man and twice by his affirmative voice recognized the principle that a negro ought to vote ! ’ If a single honest man doubts the fact, let him refer to the volume of Debates now in the Public ' Library, at the Capitol, and there he will find the ’ record. But he who doubts the certificate of ' Wm. R. Johnson, Holden Rhodes, Daniel A.

It is with these j crude materials that the Russians have found the , secret of organising their great military force. ) The peasant, before he is completely formed to 5 the profession of a soldier, undergoes privations . and sufferings innumerable; but this ordeal once . passed, he acquires a constitution of iron; like the s cement which becomes more hard from exposure r to the open air; the Russian soldier is hardy, indc . fitigablc, proof against the inclemencies of the . seasons, enduring hungerand thirst with patience, f and fearing more the cane of his officer than the , cannon of the enemy. • The impassibility of the s Muscovite under fire is almost proverbial; and if ; passive, mechanical courage, is the essence of a f good soldier, it is certainly to be found in the C Russian ranks.— The City of the Czar. The eloquence of the west, as contrasted with . that of the cast, presents many striking peculiari ties. The eloquence of the east is sober, passion r less, condensed, metaphysical; that of the west is I free, lofty, agitating, grand, impassioned. The r east is pure, chastened down to a defiance of . critical censure, sharpened down to a fineness too I razor-like to cleave the mountains or carve the , rocks; the west defies and transcends criticism— -3 unbosoms mighty thoughts, applies motives to 1 human mind as strong as the rush of a whirlwind; | in language varied, yet strong, and if ever defec . live, yet grand. The thoughts of the west are large. In the east, a river means the brawling , and foaming Merrimac, the mountain fed Kcnne j. bee, or the poetic Connecticut; in the west, the same word means the proud flow of waves too wide to roar, and cincturing half the globe in their 1 course. In the east, a plain means a patch of earth hedged in by circumambient mountains de f fended on either hand by rock and water; in the t west a plain means an expanse of territory over which the sun rises and sets through a thousand ’ successive horizons, and above whose carpet of verdure heaven spreads out half her stars. In . the cast, a wind means a blast which wrestles C with the mountain beech or maple, or playsfitful r ly with the fallen snow; in the west, the same I word means the roaring impulse which accumu- I lales about the head waters ol the far-wandering j.

June 5 2t G3»HIGHLY IMPORTANT.^) Nervous diseases, liver complaint, bilious dis eases, piles, rheumatism, consumption, coughs colds, pain in the chest and side, ulcers, all deli cate and mercurial diseases are successfully treated at Dr. EVANS’S Office, 100 Chatham-street, New York. J)R. WILLIAM EVANS' MEDICINES, Are composed of vegetable substances, which exert a specific action upon the heart, give an impulse or strength to the arterial system ; the blood is quick ened and equalized in its circulation through all the vessels, whether of the skin, the parts situated in ternally, or the extremities ; and as all the accre tions of the body are drawn from the blood, there is a consequent increase of every secretion, and a quickened action of the absorbent and exhalent, or discharging vessels. Any morbid action which may have taken place is corrected, all obstructions are removed, the blood is purified, and the body re sumes a healthful state. These medicines after much anxious toil and rc earch, having been brought by the proprietor to the present state of perfection, supersede the use of the innumerable other medicines ; and are so well adapted to the frame, that the use of them, by main taming the body in the due performance of its unctions, and preserving the vital stream in a pura I and healthy state, causes it to last many years long- ' r ' er than it otherwise would, and the mind to be come so composed and tranquil, that old age when it arrives will appear a blessing, and not (as too many who have neglected their constitutions, or had them injured by medicines administered by ig norance) a source of misery and abhorrence. They are so compounded, that by strengthening and equalizing the action of the heart, liver, and other visera, they expel the bad, acrid or morbid matter, which renders the blood impure, out of the circulation, through the excretory ducts into the passage of the bowels, so that by the brisk or slight evacuations which may be regulated by the doses, always remembering that while the evacuations from the bowels arc kept up, the*cxcrctions from all the other portions of the body will also be going on in the same proportion, by which means the blood invariably becomes purified. Steady perseverance in the use of the medicine will undoubtedly effect a cure even in the most acute or obstinate diseases; hut in such cases the dose may be augmented,according tothc inveteracy of the disease j the medicines being so admirably adapted to the constitution, that they may be taken at all times In all cases of hypochondriacism, low spirits,pal pitations of the heart, nervous irritability, nervous weakness, floor albus, seminal weakness, indiges tion, loss of appetite, flatulency, heartburn, general debility, bodily weakness, chlorosis or green sick ness, flatulent or hysterical faintings, hysterics, headache, hiccup, sea sickness, night-marc, gout, rheumatism, asthma, tic douloreaux, cramp, spas modic affections, and those who are victims to that most excrutiating disorder, Gout, will find relief from theirsulferings, by a course of Dr. William Evans’s Pills. Nausea, vomiting, pains in the side, limbs, head, stomach or back, dimness or confusion of sight, noises in the inside, alternate flushings of heat and chilliness, tremors, watchings,.agitation, anxiety had dreams, spasms, will in every case be relieved by an occasional.dose of Dr. Evans’s medicines. One of the most dangerous epochs to females is at the change of life; and it is then they require a medicine which will so invigorate their circulation and thus strengthen ther constitutions as may ena- 1 hie thorn to withstand the shock. Those who have the care and education of Fe males, whether the studious or the sedentary part of the community, should never be without a sup ply of Dr. Evans’s Pills, which remove disorders in the head, invigorate the mind, strengthen the body, improve the memory, and eliven the imagin ation. When the nervous system has been too largely drawn upon or overstrained, nothing is better to } correct and invigorate the drooping constitution i than these medicines.

Evans’ Celebrated Soothing Stri p for Children Cutting their Teeth. This infallible remedy has preserved hundreds of children, when thought past recovery, from con vulsions. As soon as the Syrup is rubbed on the gums, the child will recover. This preparation is so innocent, so efficacious, and so pleasant that no child will refuse to let its gums be rubbed xvith it. When infants are at the age of four months,though there is no appearance of teeth, one bottle of the . Syrup should be used on the gums to open the ;iorcs. Parents should neverbe without the Syrup in the nursery where there are youngchildren ; for if a child wakes in the night with pain in the gums, the Syrup immediately gives case by open ing tho pores and healing the gums; thereby pre venting convulsions. fevers, &e.
