Mexico. We learn from the New Or
leans Bulletin of the 5th inst. that an arri
val from Vera Cruz, bringing dates to 20th
mi. orings lniormauon inat a French
squadron consisting ot fourteen vessels,
was daily expected at that port from the
West Indies, to enforce the claims of the
French government upon that Republic,
and that arrangements were being made to
give them a warm reception, in the event
of a commencement of hostilities. Mexi
can papers to the 12th ult. have been re
ceived, but they contain no political news
of interest. It was rumored at Vera Cruz
that the State of Zacatecas and a portion of
the government troops had revolted and
declared in favor of a federal government,
but nothing positive had transpired in rela
tion to their plan of operations."
Canada. The Detroit Advertiser of
the 6lh inst. says: We learn that the noto
rious Gen. Sutherland, and another man
by the name of Spencer, who were cross-
ing on the ice from Gibraltar to Point au
i Pelle Island on Sunday afternoon, were ta-
ken prisoners by the British sentinels and
taken to Maiden. We arc informed that
(Sutherland is to be hung this morning.
The Toronto papers received this morn-
ing confirm the intelligence of the capture
I of Sutherland and his aid.
I Col. Maitland, in the Montreal Gazette
(extra) of the 9th inst. gives an official ac
count of the defeat of a body of Patriots
,t from Sandusky Bay, under the command
; of a person calling himself Col. Bradley,
J who had taken possession of Pelec Island,
; from 7 to 9 miles in length, about 40 miles
: from Amherstburgh, and 20 from the
j shore. The despatch is dated at Amherst
J burgh, on the4lh inst. It states that, after
' being hemmed in, the Patriots, who had
' kept tip a brisk fire, were charged at the
point of the bayonet, Colonel Bradley,
Maj. Howard, Capt. Van Rensselaer and
McKeon, and others killed, several woun-
dcU and several taken prisoners. On the
part ot. the British, it states that three of
the 32d regiment were killed and 23 woun-
ded. It also states that "the whole of the
? gang driven from the Pelle Island are Amc-
rican citizens." We hope and believe
I ROt."
The Buffalo Advertiser of Saturday,
confirms the above on the authority of Gen.
Scott. Mr. Bradley, it appears, is an apo-
. inccary oi Sandusky Uify.

It is entirely unnecessary lo make any
comment upon this thorough bred horse,
4s his i'edigree which is given below.
should, independent, of the fine perfor
mances ol the lew coils of hie get, on Ihe
racing Turf, recommend him, to all un
prejudiced judges, as a horse lhat should
not as to genuineness of blood, stand infe
rior to none others in the State of - North
Carolina. The many good crosses both of
American and imported stock, should just
ly enitlle him lo a reputation sufficient,
to entitle him justly to an extensive pat
ronage, by all those, who are anxious to
raise race horses of never flinching game,
connected also with no small desrree ol
peed. With correct and proper crosses
his colts cannot fail to figure as splendidly
on the Turf as anv others in America.
For an account of his colts' races see Turf
Register and Spirit of the Times. If this
opportunity is not accepted by those who
are anxious to improve their slock, a
ource of regret may hereafter be occasion
d, as anci.her so favorable may not be
given. A noeral deduction will be made
if any responsible person will make up a
club of five mares. The season will com
mence 1st March and end 1st Julv.
MUCKLK JOHN is fifteen years old this
spring, and now possesses all the liveliness
ol action as a coll of 3 years old.
Pedigree.
MUCKLK JOHN was got by Old liar
rod, he by Old Sir Archie. Harrods
lam by Old Diomede, his grandam by Old

Sir Harry. Muckle John's dam by Old
Collector, his grandam by Old Imported
Citizen, his g. grandam by the Imported

further, as the above is sufficient to give
him a pedigree not surpassed by any horse
in the country.

YOUNG JACK,
IijL STAND the present season,
which will commence on the lt
day of March and end the 1st of July,
lie will he at J. C. Knight's Store, near
Cokey bridge, 9th, 10th, 19th, 20th, 29ih
and 30th, ol each month, from the 1st ol
March to the 1st of July the balance ol
his time at home, with the privilege of ad
ding or diminishing at either stand. II(
will be let to marcs at his former price,
FOUR DOLLARS the leap, SIX Dollars
the season, and 'JEN Dollars to insure a
m3re to be in foal; with twenty -five cents
to the Groom in every instance. The
season and leap money to be due at the
end of the season, the insurance from the
lt January next with interest. Mares
put if not mentioned otherwise at the time
they are first put to prevent mistakes will
be charged by the season, and when charg
ed no alteration will be made. Great care
will be taken to prevent accidents, but no
liability for any. A transfer of property
before it is ascertained, forfeits the insur
ance money. Any one putting a mare by
the insurance and fails to attend the stand
regular will be held bound for the insur
ance money whether the mare gets in foal
or not.
As to the qualities of YOUNG JACK,
it is useless to say any thing about, as he
is generally known to be far superior to
any in this country.

very strong and handsome form, fully five
