Lord Clarendon hag officially an
nounced that the sentence of death pro

M. Lessapie has re'urned to France,
having failed in coaxing the Romans
into submission, and orders have been
sent to Gen Oudinot to capture the
Holy Citv, let the consequences bo
whit they may. The Romans are de
termined to resist the thr'-.itenpd attack
to death. They have mghc y. ihousand
men in the field, and the Roman leaders
declare that ihey will blow up Si. Peiers
and all the church edifices, if they should
not be able 10 keep the French out.
Ti.e Plenipotentiaries of Prussia, Han
over and Sdxony, have promulgated a
new constitution for Germany, in which
the principle of universal suffrage is
ingrafted. In ihe present, as in former
attempts inform a Union of the German
Staies, the K ng of Prussia is made
the prominent head. Austria has open
excluded from the proposed arrange
ment, but all the other States are iovi
ted to enter into the arrangement. It
is considered donbtful whether this plan
will succeed.
The Pari journals furnish intelligence
from Rome to the second instant. Hos
til:ties had not yet commenced. Gen.
Oudinot hid demanded an armistice.
The Pope still persists in demanding
an unqualified renewal of his power as
temporal Ruler, and the Triumvirate,
backed by ihe people, declare that th'.y
wji never accede to the demand of the
Pope. Mr.zzenis deterrnina ton is to
accomplish the thorough destruction of
the. Pope's temporal power- He sas,
'we shall show figtit to the last against

Hungary press's no new feature,

NEW ORLEANS, June 22.
Accounts have been received that the
Texas expedition from Ell Passo del
Norte, comprising six companies of the
3d inlantry, under command of Major
Van Horn, left San Antonio on the first
instant.
The Indians were still committing
deprejati .ns on the Texas Frontier,
causing great alarm, and great corn
plaints were made for 'he wunt ol Uni
ted States troops to express the sava
ge.
Without having any positive infor
mation, we suppose that the forces un
der Major Van Horn, were deiailed lor
the protection of the inhabitants from
the depredation of the Indians; and in
connection with the Texan t-angers, a
bove mentioned, there cm be little
doubt that these ravages will soon ae
prevenied fiom committing iuriher out
rages, or receive speedy and memed
punishment for their reckless cruelty. J
The Cholera is said to bb making
terrible havoc among the inhabitants of
the interior towns of Mexico.
Report says that five hundred Ameri

have been killed by the Indians in Mexico.

Clocer for Horses It is a common
remark, that ciovt-r hay, il fed to horses
any length of lime occasions a cough,
ard grea'r "?ar"oteI if it does not
occasion the heaves. There are two
remedies for this. One is to deposit
the hay in a Danger instead of. a rack.
The leaves of ciover cured after the old
fas noil are 8.i dry and rnspv, and then
crumble and pu.venz as they are drawn
from the rack, occasioning dust, which
being inhaled, irritates the lungs, and
hence coughs, &c. In taking up tne
hay fr.m the manger, no dust is crea
ted. Another and betier remed, is, to
cure the. clover in the right manner.
iy curing it in ihe cork instead ol
spreading and turning again and again.
its leaves become wiped, instead of b. -
coming crispy, and d not cru.i.ble.
1 bus not only is immense labor in cu
ring saved, but no inconsiderable loss
in ciumbling ol ihe leaves, to sav no
thing of the pernicious effect spoken of.

Iron Houses The last number of
the Wesfrnitiister Review haan interes
ting article on the subject of using iron
as a substitute for wood, brick and stone
in the building of houses. In New-
York several buildings have beer, con
siructed of : iron, and as far as can be
judce I, they are considered in all res
pects superior to those of the ordinary
material. The advantages of iron are
thus summed up:
The first and most prominent is the
great cheapness of the iron tenement.
In addition to thi? iron houaes can be
taken down, moved, and put up again in
a new place, with comparatively little
cost; and when the fashion ol their
architecture has grown out of date, or
the lancy of the owner has changed, he I
can have them re-cast. Iron houses :
are in no danger of lightning, for the
metal gradually attracts the eleetricitv
and conducts it safely to the ground,
thus preyentirtg an explosion. Iron is
susceptible f being made into lighter
forms than stone brick or wood; hence
ihe saving nf the grhood occupied by
the wilb is vrr great. Iron makes a
drier house than other material. Iron
is fire-proof.
In short the arguments in favor of
iron houes appear io preponderate ovor
those m favor of tenements of brick or
stone, and will, very soon lead to the
introiluctjiiQ of dwellings, and siores
constructed of this meial.
