PRICE ONE CEN ! resources, which can direct the affairs and bring them to a happy conclusion, when sup- ported by the confidence of the nation. This confidence of my Government deserves and I deserve it too, as since I left the head quarters of San Luis de Potosi for the salva- tion of my Nativo Country, accompanied by the brave men who followed her illustrious standard, my promises havo never been falsifi- ed by rny actions. 1 offered to convoke an ex- traordinary Congress to give a definito consti- tution to the Nation, and the Congress has been convoked. 1 have offered to maintain the outraged honor of the nation and 1 will not tolerate old injuries, nor will I permit new ones. The dominant object of my Govern- ment has been to maintain the entire, com- plete and unlimited Liberty of the nation?to ibrm a constitution, and to prepare with un- tiring assiduity for its defence against internal as well as external enemies. As a conse- sequence of the times, and without giving any opinion, 1 did not notice for some time tlio dis- cussions about forms of Government, because it appertains to the future Congress to decide on so interesting and vita) a question as the opinions of ALL, the citizens, and even tboso of the smallest minorities which are listened to, not to be followed but to know them. Hut the violence assumed in the debate, the alarm oc- casioned by the enemies of order and internal peace, which might and in the ignominious sa- crifice of the sovereignty ond rights of the na- tion, convinced me that by tolerating it, 1 was acting in violation of the oath which 1 had given to the Nation in presence of God. 1 therefore decided to put a stop to these perni- cious discussions, and was compelled to take tlio responsibility, because the press had un- fortunately transgressed the modium which prudence and moderation rendered adviscable. My own feelings of honor, the consciousness ofthc injustice done to a citizen of known opin- ions and accredited loyalty, have made me ab- stain from reitorating promises and declarations which are in fact my solemn oath. Can it be forgotten that 1 proposed in the General As- sembly of the 2d of December, held in this Ca- pital, that the President should swear to main- tain the popular representative Republican system? Did not the Representatives of the people, chosen as witnesses of my oath, and the people themselves notice that the feelings of my heart are seconded by clear and explicit declarations! Why should some do me the in- justice to suppose that at the end of a career which, ifnot glorious, was loyal and patriotic, 1 should disgraco the wounds which I had re- ceived in defence of the sacred rights of my country! The nation will maintain as long as she wishes to maintain it, the 'Republican system' j which it adopted with rejoicing, and which I shall maintain as I have offeied to do, and I call j upon Providence to aid her in her designs, and ] to permit us to raise our social edifice on the basis of "liberty and ordor," and that in the exorcise of our rights, injustice, crimes and out- rages may never pollute a cause so sacred in itself. I desiro to see established forever the salutary maxim that no man, no party or (ac- tion shall place its will above that of the Re- public, and the first duty of its government will be to support its designs, that the funda- mental principles of sovereignty be respected, and not debased by abuses which lead to anar- chy and engender disorder. Desirous of depriving our internal enemies of the elements of discord, which they try to stir Bp in the confusion of political passions, I have hastened to explain my opinions, to in- spire the confidence which my government de- serves, although all its actions have been as pure as its intentions. The spirits being thus tranquilizer!, all pretence for agitation disap- pears, and my Government, supported by tlio j people, will defend the public order against ev- ery attempt to disturb it, and will live to de- fend it, or die for the liberty and independence of the nation, and the integrity ol its territory, against any enemy who dare to usurp them. /, who circumscribed the limits of the public p ower ?l, who was called upon to exercise tho Executive power in consequence of the tri- umphs of the Revolution, and who put an end to its continuance?cannot be suspected of un- warranted encroachments. By adheiing strict- ly to the article No. 4 of the regulations of the army, I shall use the necessary means to ob- tain these eminently national objects. My ambition is purely for glory, and if I can feel that my fellow citizens do justice to my intentions ?that my country maintain without diminu- tion all its rights?that it increases the lustre of its name under all circumstances, I shall ob- tain the only recompense to which 1 can and do aspire, the gratitude of my fellow citi- zens.' I '' The principles of rny administration are for- titude and constancy in sustaining the nation against foreign attacks on its rights, liberty to form a Constitution, union and reciprocal con- fidence between the Government and the peo- ple, tranquility in the interior and respect for the laws, requiring no sacrifices except those which are necessary for the safety of these pre- cious gifts. The army will combat at the points which destiny may determine; the people will support it in its efforts, and 1 ask of the Su- preme Arbitrator of nations to take us under his safe guard, and to permit the elevation ot his power and the consummation of his glory.

Parrott, , Secretary of Legation; and Robort Stu- Midshipman U. S. navy. The Mississippi Vera Cruz on the morning of the 30th ult. arrived off the Balize on Saturday ning, hut owing to the severity of the gale, unable to communicato until she fell in l.the Alabama.- Messrs. Slidell, Parrott Stuart were transferred to the latter ves- ind the Mississippi immediately departed i'ensacola. We have received full files of Locomotor" to the 29th inclusive, furnish- is by our obliging correspondents at Vera z, but they contain nothing of very great ortance. Ve have tho proclamation of Paredcs; but unable to give it entire this morning. It is jcumeut in the usual vein of Mexican offi- publicalions, sproad all over with donun- lOIIS of the United States, and seasoned h abundant condiments for the taste and atcs of the people of that country. Vc learn from Mr. Parrott that Mr. Slidell lained at Jalapa till the 28lli ult., at which e he had signified to the Mexican authoii- , in his last communication to them, his in- tion of leaving, whether he received his sports or not. On tho 27th the necessary luments, couched in tho most formal lan- tgc, dated at the city of Mexico, 21st ult., re directed to Mr. S. at Jalapa. 'lino'some re mistake they sent to Vera Cruz, and from nee were transmitted by our Consul to Mr. dell. A separate and distinct passpoit was tto Mr. Parrott. The treatment received Mr. Slidell at Mexico and Jalapa was ex- mely cold, but upon his arrival at Vera iz he was received witli a salute, waited up- by the highest official dignitaries of the ce, and again saluted when the Mississippi .. Mr. Slidell appears to have acted through- t in tho most firm and dignified manner, and s shown himself well qualified for the im- rtant mission with which he was entrusted, r. Slidell will remain in this city for several inks unless his presence is required in Wash- rton. Mr. Parrott will proceed to Washing, l in tho course ofa few days. The Galveston News Extra of the 4th inst., itains the following intelligence from the my of Occupation, brought by the U. S. re- nue cutter Woodbury, Capt. Foster, from azos St. Jago, which placo she left on the th ult. She was to sail for this port us soon the weather would permit. Tho Army of Occupation, numbering in all 00 men, arrived anei encamped on tho 20th t., opposite Matamoros. Gen. Taylor, with :ompuny of dragoons, under tho command Col. Twiggs, having left tho main army, ar- red at Point Isabol simultaneously with tho sot of transports from Aransas, on tho 24th t., there not being half an hours difference in e arrivals by land and water. On the appearance of tlio floet the captain ot e port?Rodriguez?set fire to the custom- use and several other buildings at Point abel, and made his retreat good to the river, though puisucd some distanco by order ol lon. Taylor. The buildings destroyed were ol Ltle value, being constructed of logs, thatched ith straw. The enemy, who have been reported as in jadincss to dispute the march of Gen./ Pay lor's rmy, soein to have entirely disappeared on his iproach. The only opposition of any consc- uenco ho experienced was at the Little Colo- ido, where a Mexican officer, with about 150 lounted men, threatened to firo upon him if e attempted to cross that stroam, stating that iich were his positive orders, and that Mexi- uns knew no fear. The artillery was iinme- iately ordered up, and tho troops formed and ommonced fording in perfect order, the watei eing nearly to their arm pits, whereupon the allant Mexican prudently retreated without xecuting his positive ordois. lie was pre- iously met on tho prairie by a party of 50 or 0 Mexicans, who informed Gen. Taylor thai le must proceed no further in that direction.? 5y order of Gen. T. the army opened, and this >arty were permitted to march through to the ear, and then depart. When near Point Isa- bel, a deputation of about forty men waited lpou him, bearing a proclamation and message rom Gen. Meija, filled with threats, in the usual style of gasconade, to which tho Mexi- cans are so partial. At this moment tho flames caused by the burning of the custom house were discovered, and Gen. T. immediately dismissed the deputation, directing thorn to in liorm Gen. Mejiatliat lie would reply to hie ineifeage opposite Matamoruson Saturday, tin 28th ult. The U. S. brig Lawrence, Commander Mcr cer, remained ut anchor off* the bar. The biij, Porpcise, Commander Hunt, sailod for Ponsa cola on the 26th ult. Forty wagons, with supplies for the army left Point Isabel on Hie morning of the 26th, ir tfino condition, and oil tho morning after Gen Taylor formed, leaving a company of artillery at Point Isabel, under command of Major Mon- roe. The News understands that Gen. Taylor's orders are to cross tiro Rio Grande and attack Matamoros, should he be fired on from the town. Lieut. Folil, U. S N., who was bearer of de- spatches to Gen. Taylor, arrived at Galvo ton on the morning of the 4th inst. in the W ood- bury and came to this city in the Alabama. The U. S. ships Cumberland, St. Marys, John Adams and Falmouth were at Vera Cruz when the Mississippi left?officers and crews all well. [From the Picayune extra,Btli insl.J TWO DAYS LATER. .Arrival of the New York?Later from the U. S. Army on the Rio Grande?The. Manifesto oj President Puredes. Since the publication of the Picayune of this morning, the steamship New York has arrived, bringing two Jays later news from Gen Tay- lor's army. YVe learn from ari extra of the Galveston News, issued on the afternoon ol the 4th inst., that the pilot boat L. M. Hitchcock, Capt. Wright, arrived at Galveston about four o'clock, P. M. of that day, from the Brazos St. Jago, which place she left on Wednesday, the Ist inst. She brought the intelligence that upon the arrival of the Army of Occupation, in front of Matamoros, the Mexican forces were drawn out on the opposite bank ofthe river, making a great display of martial music, with trumpets, bugles, &c., which mode of salutation was du- ly reciprocated in kind by a similar sounding oftrumpetß and drums in the American lines. Thus ended the first day's renconter between the two armies on the opposite banks of the Rio Grande, and within two or three hundred yards of each other. On the next morning, 29th, the American troops discovered the Mexican artil- lery of eighteen pounders, lining the opposite bank, and pointing directly into their camp, whereupon the American army moved their encampment four miles below. 'I his step was doubtless taken by Gen. Taylor in order to avoid every appearance ot any disposition to commit aggressions upon the west bank of the river, and to maintain strictly the defensive character of his operations. The most reliable statements represent the regular army in Mata- moros to consist at 2000 soldiers and 500 ran- aheros. The Mexican citizens of the Rio Grande are said to be quite disaffected towards their own Government, and secretly fiiendly to the American cause. PROCLAMATION Of Mardano Puredes y Arrillaga, President ad interim of the Republic of Mexico, to Us inhabi- tants?issued on the 21st ult. In the critical and solemn situation in which the nation is placed?perhaps on the point of a war with the United Stales of America?in consequence of one of the most unjust usurpa- tions of which history has any record, it be- comes my obligation, as urgent as sacied, to explain to my fellow citizens the situation in which we find ourselves?the dangers and sa- crifices to which we are exposed?in order to maintain, with valor, with enthusiasm and de- cision, those rights which, being identified with the existence of nations, must be defended to the utmost, and with an energy equal to the insult received. The dignity of the nation, the march of an American army on to the Rio Grande, where the head-quarters of our troops are situated the threatening appearance of tho fleets of that nation in both oceans, and all the antecedents well known to the civilized world, have com- pelled me to reject the Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the U. States, in order not to furnish an example of debility that might sanction, by a pernicious and ill ad- vised act, a usurpation not founded in reason or any plausible motive, but which merely re- lies in their hopes of intimidating us by force. The American Minister, whose mission was not circumscribed to the discussion of the Texas question, has demanded his passports, and I have caused them to be expedited without any hesitation. I confess that war with one or more nations is one of the greatest and most severe evils which can happen, and that it is an attribute of civilization to avoid its disasters?to promote industry, commerce and friendly relations un- der the auspices of a universal peace; but this will prove incompatible with the maintenance of the preogatives and independence of nations, which are called upon to repel force by force, when all means of compromise and concilia- tion have failed. The Republic of Mexico?despoiled of tho rich and extensive territory of Texas, which always belonged to it, by the direct acts of the sugreme authority of a neighboring Republic ?after discovering her designs to seize some other of our adjoining or frontier possessions, has been forced to protest, has protested, and does still solemnly protest, that she does not acknowledge the right of the American flag on the soil of Toxas, and she will defend her invaded territory, and never, never permit new conquests or new advances of the Government of tho United States. The right to declare war against the United Stales is not vested in me, and the illustrious Congress of tho nation will, as soon as they have met, take into consideration the necessary steps required in the conflict which awaits us, and which was in no manner provoked by this magnanimous and forbearing nation. As, how- ever, in the meantime, the United States might make a sudden attack on one of our maritime boundaries, or on those adjoining Texas, it will be necessary to repel force by force, and when the invaders shall have made the commence- ment, the immense responsibility of having dis' turbed the peace of the world will fall upon them. 1shall be still more explicid, which it is important 1 should be. Mexico never has committed, nor will she commit, a single ag- gression against the people or Government ol the United States of America; but if an attack should bo made, it will be repelled to tho ful- lest extent of our power, and with all the ener- gy of our character, because resistance is noth- ing more than tho right of self-preservation. The Mexican Republic drawn into a crisis, exposed to great risks and difficulties, must fi jilt for its existence and rights. The union of all her sons, the identity of the vows of all, the employment of all powers are necessary to I save us; and they will save us, since Mexico will not present the scandalous spectacle ol an internal division, which would insuro the triumph of its enemies. Ido not fear it, al- though it is known to me that all the intrigues and enticements which exist, in similur cases, are sot to work, with cunning and perfidy, to despoil the Government of its influence and kcts, paving tiles, scppia; steel in bare, plates, or (sheets; zinc, spelter, or tculcnugue, in sheets.

A let- ter says: "The dwelling house of Timothy Leonard, neartiio old Dyer house on Tassel llill, was burned to the ground witli all its contents, to- gether with three wagons and two sleighs, which were under the wood-house. But the sad part of tho calamity is, thai Mr. Leonard his wife, and a daughter of Mr. Woodurd, a- bout 12 years old, perished in tho flames. Theii charred and shapeless remains were taken oui of the ruins about 10 o'clock this morning. Every soul in the house was burned. None are left to tell the manner in which tho house took fire, nor any particulars relating to the catastrophe. Eroni the appearance of the bo- dies, it would seem that Leonaid and the girl struggled desperately with their fate, but Mrs. L. was found near the bod on which she slept. The family arc known to have retired before 9; tiie fire must have caught soon after that hour. The wind blew a gale from the south; not a neighbor discovered the fire til! the roof fell in, and at 10 o'clock not a stick was stand- ing. A deep gloom rests on our commu- nity."

resources, which can direct the affairs andbring them to a happy conclusion, when sup-ported by the confidence of the nation.

This confidence of my Government deservesand I deserve it too, as since I left the headquarters of San Luis de Potosi for the salva-tion of my Nativo Country, accompanied by

the brave men who followed her illustriousstandard, my promises havo never been falsifi-ed by rny actions. 1 offered to convoke an ex-

traordinary Congress to give a definito consti-tution to the Nation, and the Congress hasbeen convoked. 1 have offered to maintain theoutraged honor of the nation and 1 will nottolerate old injuries, nor will I permit newones. The dominant object of my Govern-ment has been to maintain the entire, com-plete and unlimited Liberty of the nation?toibrm a constitution, and to prepare with un-tiring assiduity for its defence against internalas well as external enemies. As a conse-sequence of the times, and without giving anyopinion, 1 did not notice for some time tlio dis-cussions about forms of Government, becauseit appertains to the future Congress to decideon so interesting and vita) a question as theopinions of ALL, the citizens, and even tboso ofthe smallest minorities which are listened to,not to be followed but to know them. Hut theviolence assumed in the debate, the alarm oc-

casioned by the enemies of order and internalpeace, which might and in the ignominious sa-crifice of the sovereignty ond rights of the na-tion, convinced me that by tolerating it, 1 wasacting in violation of the oath which 1 hadgiven to the Nation in presence of God. 1therefore decided to put a stop to these perni-cious discussions, and was compelled to taketlio responsibility, because the press had un-fortunately transgressed the modium whichprudence and moderation rendered adviscable.

My own feelings of honor, the consciousnessofthc injustice done to a citizen ofknown opin-ions and accredited loyalty, have made me ab-stain from reitorating promises and declarationswhich are in fact my solemn oath. Can it beforgotten that 1 proposed in the General As-sembly of the 2d of December, held in this Ca-pital, that the President should swear to main-tain the popular representative Republicansystem? Did not the Representatives of thepeople, chosen as witnesses of my oath, andthe people themselves notice that the feelingsof my heart are seconded by clear and explicitdeclarations! Why should some do me the in-justice to suppose that at the end of a careerwhich, ifnot glorious, was loyal and patriotic,1 should disgraco the wounds which I had re-

ceived in defence of the sacred rights of mycountry!

The nation will maintain as long as shewishes to maintain it, the 'Republican system' jwhich it adopted with rejoicing, and which Ishall maintain as I have offeied to do, and I call jupon Providence to aid her in her designs, and ]to permit us to raise our social edifice on thebasis of "liberty and ordor," and that in theexorcise of our rights, injustice, crimes and out-

rages may never pollute a cause so sacred initself. I desiro to see established forever thesalutary maxim that no man, no party or (ac-

tion shall place its will above that of the Re-public, and the first duty of its governmentwill be to support its designs, that the funda-mental principles of sovereignty be respected,

and not debased by abuses which lead to anar-

chy and engender disorder.Desirous of depriving our internal enemies

of the elements of discord, which they try to

stir Bp in the confusion of political passions, I

have hastened to explain my opinions, to in-spire the confidence which my government de-serves, although all its actions have been as

pure as its intentions. The spirits being thustranquilizer!, all pretence for agitation disap-pears, and my Government, supported by tlio jpeople, willdefend the public order against ev-

ery attempt to disturb it, and will live to de-fend it, or die for the liberty and independenceof the nation, and the integrity ol its territory,against any enemy who dare to usurp them.

/, who circumscribed the limits of the publicpower ?l, who was called upon to exercise thoExecutive power in consequence of the tri-umphs of the Revolution, and who put an endto its continuance?cannot be suspected of un-

warranted encroachments. By adheiing strict-ly to the article No. 4 of the regulations of thearmy, I shall use the necessary means to ob-tain these eminently national objects. Myambition is purely for glory, and if I can feel thatmy fellow citizens do justice to my intentions?that my country maintain without diminu-tion all its rights?that it increases the lustreof its name under all circumstances, I shall ob-tain the only recompense to which 1 can anddo aspire, the gratitude of my fellow citi-zens.' I ''

The principles ofrny administration are for-titude and constancy in sustaining the nationagainst foreign attacks on its rights, liberty toform a Constitution, union and reciprocal con-

fidence between the Government and the peo-ple, tranquility in the interior and respect forthe laws, requiring no sacrifices except thosewhich are necessary for the safety of these pre-cious gifts. The army will combat at the pointswhich destiny may determine; the people willsupport it in its efforts, and 1 ask of the Su-preme Arbitrator of nations to take us under hissafe guard, and to permit the elevation ot hispower and the consummation of his glory.

[From the Picayune extra,Btli insl.JTWO DAYS LATER.

.Arrival of the New York?Later from the U. S.Army on the Rio Grande?The. Manifesto oj

President Puredes.Since the publication of the Picayune of this

morning, the steamship New York has arrived,bringing two Jays later news from Gen Tay-lor's army. YVe learn from ari extra of theGalveston News, issued on the afternoon ol the4th inst., that the pilot boat L. M. Hitchcock,Capt. Wright, arrived at Galveston about fouro'clock, P. M. of that day, from the Brazos St.Jago, which place she left on Wednesday, theIst inst. She brought the intelligence that uponthe arrival of the Army of Occupation, in frontof Matamoros, the Mexican forces were drawnout on the opposite bank ofthe river, making a

great display of martial music, with trumpets,

bugles, &c., which mode of salutation was du-ly reciprocated in kind by a similar soundingoftrumpetß and drums in the American lines.Thus ended the first day's renconter betweenthe two armies on the opposite banks of the RioGrande, and within two or three hundred yardsof each other. On the next morning, 29th, theAmerican troops discovered the Mexican artil-lery of eighteen pounders, lining the oppositebank, and pointing directly into their camp,whereupon the American army moved theirencampment four miles below. 'I his step was

doubtless taken by Gen. Taylor in order to

avoid every appearance ot any disposition to

commit aggressions upon the west bank of theriver, and to maintain strictly the defensive

character of his operations. The most reliablestatements represent the regular army in Mata-moros to consist at 2000 soldiers and 500 ran-

aheros. The Mexican citizens of the Rio Grandeare said to be quite disaffected towards theirown Government, and secretly fiiendly to theAmerican cause.

PROCLAMATIONOf Mardano Puredes y Arrillaga, President ad

interim of the Republic of Mexico, to Us inhabi-tants?issued on the 21st ult.In the critical and solemn situation in which

the nation is placed?perhaps on the point of a

war with the United Stales of America?inconsequence of one of the most unjust usurpa-tions of which history has any record, it be-comes my obligation, as urgent as sacied, to

explain to my fellow citizens the situation inwhich we find ourselves?the dangers and sa-

crifices to which we are exposed?in order tomaintain, with valor, with enthusiasm and de-cision, those rights which, being identified withthe existence of nations, must be defended to

the utmost, and with an energy equal to theinsult received.

The dignity of the nation, the march of an

American army on to the Rio Grande, wherethe head-quarters of our troops are situatedthe threatening appearance of tho fleets of thatnation in both oceans, and all the antecedentswell known to the civilized world, have com-

pelled me to reject the Envoy Extraordinaryand Minister Plenipotentiary of the U. States,in order not to furnish an example of debilitythat might sanction, by a pernicious and ill ad-vised act, a usurpation not founded in reason

or any plausible motive, but which merely re-

lies in their hopes of intimidating us by force.The American Minister, whose mission was not

circumscribed to the discussion of the Texasquestion, has demanded his passports, and Ihave caused them to be expedited without anyhesitation.

Iconfess that war with one or more nationsis one of the greatest and most severe evilswhich can happen, and that it is an attribute ofcivilization to avoid its disasters?to promoteindustry, commerce and friendly relations un-

der the auspices of a universal peace; but thiswill prove incompatible with the maintenanceof the preogatives and independence ofnations,which are called upon to repel force by force,when all means of compromise and concilia-tion have failed.

The Republic of Mexico?despoiled of thorich and extensive territory of Texas, whichalways belonged to it, by the direct acts of thesugreme authority of a neighboring Republic?after discovering her designs to seize someother of our adjoining or frontier possessions,has been forced to protest, has protested, anddoes still solemnly protest, that she does notacknowledge the right of the American flagon the soil of Toxas, and she will defend herinvaded territory, and never, never permit new

conquests or new advances of the Governmentof tho United States.

The right to declare war against the UnitedStales is not vested in me, and the illustriousCongress of tho nation will, as soon as theyhave met, take intoconsideration the necessarysteps required in the conflict which awaits us,and which was in no manner provoked by thismagnanimous and forbearing nation. As, how-ever, in the meantime, the United States mightmake a sudden attack on one of our maritimeboundaries, or on those adjoining Texas, it willbe necessary to repel force by force, and whenthe invaders shall have made the commence-ment, the immense responsibility of having dis'turbed the peace of the world will fall uponthem. 1shall be still more explicid, which itis important 1 should be. Mexico never hascommitted, nor will she commit, a single ag-gression against the people or Government olthe United States of America; but if an attackshould bo made, it will be repelled to tho ful-lest extent of our power, and with all the ener-

gy of our character, because resistance is noth-ing more than tho right of self-preservation.

The Mexican Republic drawn into a crisis,exposed to great risks and difficulties, mustfijiltfor its existence and rights. The unionof all her sons, the identity of the vows of all,the employment of all powers are necessary to

I save us; and they will save us, since Mexicowill not present the scandalous spectacle olan internal division, which would insuro thetriumph of its enemies. Ido not fear it, al-though it is known to me that all the intriguesand enticements which exist, in similur cases,are sot to work, with cunning and perfidy, to

despoil the Government of its influence and

DREADFUL CALAMITY? Three Persons Burntto Death. A most terrible calamity occurredat Wuterville, N. Y., a few night ago. A let-ter says:

"The dwelling house of Timothy Leonard,neartiio old Dyer house on Tassel llill, wasburned to the ground witli all its contents, to-gether with three wagons and two sleighs,which were under the wood-house. But thesad part of tho calamity is, thai Mr. Leonardhis wife, and a daughter of Mr. Woodurd, a-bout 12 years old, perished in tho flames. Theiicharred and shapeless remains were taken ouiof the ruins about 10 o'clock this morning.Every soul in the house was burned. Noneare left to tell the manner in which tho housetook fire, nor any particulars relating to thecatastrophe. Eroni the appearance of the bo-dies, it would seem that Leonaid and the girlstruggled desperately with their fate, but Mrs.L. was found near the bod on which she slept.The family arc known to have retired before9; tiie fire must have caught soon after thathour. The wind blew a gale from the south;not a neighbor discovered the fire til! the rooffell in, and at 10 o'clock not a stick was stand-ing. A deep gloom rests on our commu-nity."

To such, therefore, Dr. JOHNSTON pledge*himself to preserve the most inviolable secrecy; and,

from his extensive practice in the first hospital* ofEurope and America, he can confidently recommenda safe and speedy cure to the unfortunate victim ifthis horrid disease.

11 is a melancholy fact, that thousands fall victimto this horrid disease, owing to the unskillfulness o.men, who hy the use of that deadly poison, mercury,ruin the constitution, and cither send the unfortunatesuffer to an untimely grave, or else make the residueof his lifeiniserable.

most speedy and the most pleasant remedy known to

It requires no restraimof diet,or hindrance from business?it ii mild, safe and eftcacious, eradicating every symptom of this affection,without causing other diseases, such as STaiCToa*and ArrecTtoas or THE BI.XDDRR and PROST*.*-?*UI.AND, which impyrics and quacks so often createbytheir noxious drugs and filthy infections.

STRICTURES?when there is a partial mippr-.<sion of urine, accompanied with uneasiness in theparts, or a frequent desire to make water, it its calledStricture. Yet this disease may exist, and none <,

these symptoms he perceptible, or if at all, they areso slight as to pass unnoticed; hence, we find thousands laboring under this affection who are entirelyunconscious of it? such perrons become weak in theparts, seldom ft nee children , snd in the Inter stages ofthis complaint are incapable of enjoying Marritipe?-their systems become deranged, particularly r.bstomach, inducing symptoms of dyspepsia; also affec-tions of the win I, peculiar fits ot melancholy, Sic.ice. which may end in some dreadful disease of thenerves, and will either cause n premature death orelse make the rust of life miserable. To such petsons, Dr. JOHNS TON offers Hie most speedy remedythnt can lie obtained inthe Unitesi Statel.

What a pity that a young man, the hope of hiecountry, and the darling of his parents, ,-iiould besnatched from all the prospects and enjoyments orlife by the consequences of deviating from ti.e path ofnature and indulging in a certain secret habit. Suchpersons before contemplating

MARRIAGE,Should reflect that a sound and body are the 00.-1necessary requisites to promote connubial happiness.Indeed, without these, the journey through life be-comes a weary pilgrimage, the piospect hourly dark-ens to the view?the niied becomes shadowed withdespair, and filled with the melancholy reflection, thatthe happiness of another becomes blighted with ourown.
