IMMENSE FLOOD AT CHICAGO.
200,000 Dollars' worth of Property destroyed
Loss of Life. I
Chicago, March, 12-1-4 P. M.
About 10 o'clock this morning Jheimass of
ice in the South Branch gave way, parrying
with it the bridges at Madison, at Randolph and
Wells streets in fact, sweeping ofl every
bridge over the Chicago river a sq ;rnany of
the wharves. There were in port 4 steam
boats, G propellers, 24 brigs and 47 caial boats
most of which havo been totally deslitoyed or
sjeriously damaged. - p
Tho moving mass of ice, canal lioikts, pro
pellers and vessels, was stopped at the foot of
I Clark 6lreet, but withstood the pre ssure hut a
! moment, crashing vessels and filling spars
giving note of the ruin that was to:folljiw.
A short jfstance below, the river wis again
dammed, below Kinzie's warchouscl Here
the scene was most indescribable. Vessels, pro
pellers and steam boats were thrown 'together
in the utmost confusion, forming a pdatii across
the river, which hacked the water tot an un
precedented height. At this point, at ll A.
M., they stiil remained; in all 2e vessels 2
propellers, the Ontario and Gen. Taj-lor, two
steam boats, the Ward and Pacificrte C. Y.
Richmond, Whirlwind, Diamond, Benfon, &c,
all more or less injured ; the propc lle Ontario
very badly. There are also a numbeilof canal
boats sunk at this point.
We hear of several lives being lost. A boy
was crushed to death at Randolph stree t bridge;
a little girl was .killed by the falling bf a top
mast. A number of men are reported to have
lost their livies on canal boats which have been
e, and bridges a it broke
enormous sum
three hundred and fifty millions of dollars ! !
Had the Administration taken leave of its
senses ? or did Gen. Saunders thus speak
without authority ? Be this as it might,
it is fortunate for all parties that Spain
would not listen, to any proposition on the
subject. J ' j
Another letter from Gen. Saunders is
quoted, in which he says, V I wonld write
to Mr. Buchanan on the subject, had I fall
confidence in him but as I have not I
shall reserve to myself the liberty of act
incr on the general instructions." &C, This
...0 . - - ; .
letter was dated July;24, 187. t5ix days
afterward, viz : on the 30tft July,' 1847,
Gen. Saunders wrote to Mr. Buchanan
himself, that he " had greater confidence
in the present Mr. Polk's Cabinet in re
gard to this important subjeeti and should
like much to have the benefit of his Mr.
Buchanan's views," &c. -i
Mr. Reynolds says he was; aware of the
fact, that " Mr. Polk was in the habit of
transmitting directly to the LT. States Min
ister at London, instructionsi on the Ore
gon question, departing most materially
from the positions taken in the official cor
respondence of the Department of State ;
and that on that question the late Presi
dent had acted both his parts (of a 49 deg.
man and a 54 deg. 40 mini man at the
s.ame time, with such consummate skill,
that even those in the secret were great
ly perplexed to know what Were his real
intentions. I supposed that Mr. Saunders
was honored jwith a close intimacy by
Mr. Polk, as he (Mr. S.) in feply to inqui
ries of Captain Elliott, formerly British
Charge in Texas, had felt himself author
ized to state to the gentleman, (who, as I
presume, and as Mr. Saunders himself sup
posed, carried the information immediate
ly to Lord Aberdeen,) that; Mr. McLane
possessed in a higher degree than Mr.
Buchanan, the confidence of the Presi
dent." :
When it is borne in mind that this Mr.
Reynolds was and is a Locofoco, appoint
ed to office by Mr. Polk, his picture of the
duplicity of Polk and Saunders, and their
utter want of confidence in Buchanan, is
most striking.
Mr. Reynolds states that our Minister
lived in so retired a manner in Madrid,
and was so little known, that the Spanish
Prime Ministerbr-oi to ask hirh to a form
al diplomatic entertainment, to which the
Ministers of other governments were in
vited. " His ignorance of any modern
language but his own, (says Mr. R.) ne
cessarify confined his social intercourse to
the English residents at Madrid, and the
few Members of tho Diplomatic Corps, or
Spaniards whb understood his own tongue.'
This ignorance of the Spanish language
led to a laughable incident, no less than
Gen. Saunder's writing a formal complaint
to his Secretary for omitting to call, on an
inclement Sunday and inform him of the
news, published that day in extras of eve
ry journal in Madrid, and in' the mouth of
every one, that a Republic had been pro
claimed in France !
Our Minister in France, Mr. Rush, is
stated to be equally unfortunate in notun-
contravention of the Treaty, and vitiates :
those portions of it to which it refers. He ;
charges Mr. Polk and his Administration j
with direct falschoqd.
The Whig Senators will, it is believed, j
remain passive in the affair ; but the Loco ,
Senators arc boiling with indignation., '
They declare that Mr. Benton is making ;
this Protocel a bridge to carry me over j
the stream that divides the two parties,!
and that the first instalment of the price ;
of his adhesion to the Whigs was the ap
pointment of his son-in-law Mr. Jones.
They denounce it as monstrous perfidy
and baseness to call up those charges af
ter the Administration has been scattered
to all parts of the Union, and when its mem
bers are no longer in a position officially
to rebut the charge. ... ,
Mr. Benton will, in all probability, vote
alone on his side of the Chamber.

COL. FREMONT- A DISTRESSING
REPORT.
The Philadelphia papers received last
night contain the subjoined painful intel
ligence relating to Col. Fremont and his
party, which we are sure will be read
with melancholy interest by many of our
citizens, who, besides great personal re
gard for Col. Fremont, feel a deep inter
est in the success of bis enterprise. 1 he
latter part of the story is evidently mere
rumor :
St. Louis March, 2G, 1819.
Intelligence from Santa Fe to Feb. 2
has been received at Independence, Mis
souri. The Republican contains letters
from Taos, which represent the winter as
having been so very severe that Colonel
Fremont, while passing through one of
the mountain gorges, lost 130 mules in one
night.
Being then left on foot, he came to the
conclusion that it was impossible to pro
ceed further, and finally he dispatched
three men to seek the nearest settlement
and procure succor. This party not re-
turning in twenty days, Col. Fremont start
ed himself for Taos, distant 350 miles,
where he arrived in nine days.
Major Beale immediately dispatched a
party of dragoons, with mules and prov i
sions, to relieve Col. Fremont's men. Col.
Fremont, though much emancipated and
worn out by anxiety and the deprivations
to which he had been subjected, accom
panied the dragoons.
The sufferings of the party are repre
sented to have been so very great they
were even reduced to the necessity of feed
ing upon the bodies of their comrades.
Mr. Greene, who brought this news to
Independence, left Santa Feseveral days
after its publication.
Later reports say that all of Col. Fre
mont's party perished except himself, and
he is badly frostbitten.
Our correspondent at Independence ex
presses doubts as to the correctness of this
news, but we do not see with what reason.

A SIGNIFICANT FACT.
The committee appointed to ascertain
the number of deaths of Asiatic Cholera
in New Orleans, among the Sons of Tem
perance in that city, and the adjoining
towns of La jFayctte, Algiers, and Gretna,
report that tlere are Twelve Hundred and
Forty-Three members of different Divi
sions in those places. Of this number,
6ny three deaths occurred by Cholera and
of these, one had been a member only a
week, another less than a month, and the
third was a watchman who was much
exposed. In the city, the proportion of
deaths was fifteen to ever' thousand in
habitants, while among the Sons of Tem
perance, the proportion was not quite one
to every four hundred.
