Mexico is not blind to her future destiny, and without a severe contest she will never consent that the Americans shall settle to the Rio Grande. Her murderous and barbarous policy has doomed her, and her pride must be humbled before she yields to the superior power of her more warlike neighbors, who have sig nalised themselves, as much by the noble traits of mercy and hu manity as by indomitable courage." artisans who concur in recom mending the work to the favorable notice of mechanics and manufacturers. tt?A negro slave at Darien. jeo. named Tom Scudder, bought himself a wife for $700; but quarreling a little time after, he sold her for $750.

It appears that she dressed herself in boy's: clothes, and journeying to Phila- delphia, applied for a situation in' some vessel, as sailor boy. a berth was accordingly procured for her on board a whale ship at New Bedford, whither her expen ses were paid without any suspi cion as lo her sex. After an ab sence of three months, she return ed to Philadelphia, and told the person who had paid her passage, that not finding the life of a sailor as pleasant as she imagined it would be, she had on reflection abandon the idea altogether of go ing to sea, and intended to seek employment in the city. Having ascertained that Iter sex had been discovered, Maria immediately changed her residence, and has not been heard of since. She has probably returned to her parents, who were apprised of her singular adventure. locks are to be 200 feet long by 50 wide, lilt generally not to ex ceed 10 feet to each lock.

The uninterrupted health of New Orleans has caused an earlier revival of the fall trade than usual.

Elaby had before com mitted a murder in North Caroli na, from w hence he fled, a large reward having been offered for his apprehension. Sacrilege.

The censer was left, though of solid silver; the sacrament was laid up on the altar, and the chalice car ried off. PhiL U. S. Gaz. From (he A'ew York Journal of Commerce. Important intelligence from Portugal and Spain. By the Empress, which arrived here yes terday in 28 days from Malaga, we have received Portuguese and Spanish papers, which announce another revolution in Portugal, and an important victory obtained by the Queen's troops over the Carlists. It appears that for some time back a general dissatisfaction was evinced by the people against the Miuister Freire, and that on the arrival on the 9th of September of some opposition deputies from the provinces of the Duoru and Up per Beira, this dissatisfaction was manifested by the demonstrations of joy with which these deputies were received. The Tagus was covered with boats filled with peo ple, and on their landing at Lis bon, they were accompanied by an immense crowd to their lodgings. At night the battalion .f the National G uards were under arms, joined the iroc ps of the line, and proclaimed ihe constitution of IP22. A deputation was sent by them to the Queen, requiring her to proclaim the constitution of 1822 and dismiss her minister. This was immediately conceded, and the Count He Lameares and Viscount Sa da Bandeiro were di rected to form a new ministry. The breaking of ihe wim te.vs of the palace of the Duke de l;almel la was the consequence. The ex-ministers, Fieire and t'avbiiho, had disappeared, and it was supposed they were secret ed in the Queen's palace, whose husband, Don Fernando, vas be ieved to be opposed or inimical to the change. An apprehension was entertained that the Queen would endeavor lo escape on board of one of the vessels of the English squadron in the Tagus. On the morning of the I Oth, a deputation of officers repaired to the Queen, to demand atitl ex pression of her adhesion to the constitution. The whole corps diplomatique ere with her, with the exception of the Spanish Min ister. Her Majesty, after confer ring with the British Ambassador, signed the above Decree. The Count de Lameares prevaiitd on the Queen and her, husband to swear to the constitution in the Municipal Hall, whether she pro ceeded in a carriage with l im, and there tl.ey both took the oath required. It was said that all the foreign Ministers except tlie Spanish, have protested against the act of the Queen, which they assert she was compelled to perform A despatch was received at Malaga on the 25lh ult. from Ma drid, announcing the complete de feat of the Carlist armj', consist ing of 14,000 men, under the command of General Gomez, (by the Queen's General, Alaix,) with the loss of several hundred killed, and 3,000 prisoners. The cholera was still prevailing in Hungary, and Bohemia. Locusts in Syria. The Bostoli Advertiser has files from Smyrra to July 30th, which colitain some interesting particulars respecting the great destruction of locusts by order of Ibrahim Pacha in Syria, who, in this novel experiment, has employed the destructive propen sities for which he is said to be characterized to some good pur pose. An immense flight of these animals appeared in the begin ning of summer and threatened serious ravages to the crops. All the population of Aleppo and oth- tr districts were put into requisi tion and turned out lo hunt lo custs. Ibrahim's troops were em ployed in the same manner. Af ter 40 days the country was rid ot the nuisance. The number destroyed as measured by order of the Pacha, are 427, 1G0 ardebs. For the information of ihe Eng lish reader, it may be proper to state that the ardeb is equal to a fraction over eight bushels, This enormous quantity is oulv the amount of what were destroy ed by the troops and population of Aleppo; but there were besides in the villages ol the Arabs, and in the districts of Killis, Aintab, Hanimah, Marrah and D.im iscus, immense quantities destroyed which were not measured. fXAn army of Spanish Flies. almost as formidable as the lo custs, have invaded a portion of lielgium from the southern parts of France, and done creat mis chief to the crof s. C7TIe treasury of Brazil, at Rio Janeiro, was robbed between the 23d and 25lh of July, of 500 millions rais, (about 100 millions of dollars.) i J1 fj
