THE NEXT HARVEST IN ENGLAND.—An extract from a letter dated London, Aprill 21, 1848,'says: " What we have most to fear, is the continual heavy rains, almost without intermission. Scarce any barley, oats, or Spring corn is sown, and what lias been, the seed is washed up. A continuance of this weather for another eight or ten days, will cause great alarm for onr next harvest." '

INTELLIGENCE FROM THE COAST OF AFRICA.— The U. S. brig Boxer arrived at Philadelphia on the 8th inst., from the coast of Africa, bringing sundry miscellaneous items of news, of interest. The Boxer has been absent from the. United States nearly tvyo years and a half, the whole of which time has been spent in cruising upon the coast of Africa, and during all this time she has not lijat a man either from sickness or casualty. She has vir-ited every place of importance between Cape Verd and Little Fish Bay, has been up the Congo River, and to other sickly places, but has .enjoyed unbounded health throughout the cruise.

Doings on the Coast of Africa.—Commander Hope, of H. B. M. sloop Bittern, at Prince's Island last March, in company wit,h the U. S. brig Boxer, reported that a short time previous lie was at Lagos, in the Bight of Benin, with an American bark at anchor there—name unknown. As soon as he (Captain Hope) sailed in the Bittern, the bark was sold, her crew went on shore, anil she escaped from the coast with a large cargo of slaves. The crew of the bark were landed on the beach in the even­ing, at Lagos. That same night a marauding party of native Wfccks came down from Bidagry, lor the purpose of attacking Lagos, but falling in with the crew of the said bark on the beach, and not know-, ing them to be white men,-they murdered every soul save one, who was providentially knocked (town and escaped in the darkness. He got, on hoard a canoe, and was taken to Bidagry, and fed and clothed by an English merchant there. This man stated that soon after he had landed with his shipmates from the bark, and before they had time to leave the beach, the natives attacked them, and all he recollects afterward was hearing them cry for mercy, when he was himself knocked down senseless, and in the darkness was left by the blacks unnoticed.

Brig Malaga.—The brig Malaga, of Beverly, Mass., which was seized bv the t'. S. brig Boxer nearly two years ago, in Ivabenda Bay, (Coast ol Africa,) and sent to the United States, on suspicion of her aiding and abetting the slave trade, was ac­quitted at the trial,"and went out again to the coast of Africa, and made two trips between the Brazils and the coast. On the 11th December last, she was captured under Brazilian colors, by H. B. M. sloop Ferret, with 830 slaves on board, and taken into Sierra Leone and condemned.

The subjoined statement relative to the Malaga was made in writing to one ol the officers of the U. S. brig Boxer, by Lieut. Maunsell, the English prize officer :

" The Brazilian brig, name unknown, but for­mer! v the American brig Malaga, was captured by II. M. S. Ferret, in 3deg. 10 S. latitude,about eight miles off' shore, with 830 slaves, Dec. 11 th.

" She had a crew of thirty-three men, of which five were Americans, who complained that they were put on shore in the Portuguese factory in the Congo river, where they were badly treated, and to save their lives embarked in the said brig.

" After capture, four died, having been previously very ill from fever contracted in the Congo river. They complained of being deserted by their com­mander, who brought the vessel from Rio Janeiro, and sold her to the slave factor in the Congo river. Name of thé Captain unkuowu tb the prize officer.

Late from Mexico. Rejmrtril Revolution in (iueréturo—Movements of

Paretics, Almonte und Bustamente—Congress met; a quorum at last oliluinetl—Chance of Ptace— Letters of Chaparral. By the arrival of the schooner May, Capt. Allen,

from Vera Cruz, we have received news from the City of Mexico to the 2d instant, from Querctaro to the 30th ultl, and from Vera Cruz to the 7th.

The news brought by this arrival is of more im­portance than has for some time been received, and by it the probabilities of peace are in our opinion greatly diminished, although Congress has assem­bled, as will be seen by à reference to the postcript appended to the letter of our correspondent Cha­parral, dated May the 2d. In our opinion, when the opjwsition members find that they will be out­voted by the peace men, they will retire frmn the Assembly, and thus by leaving Congres(|Lgain without a quorum, render it impossible to ratify the treaty. The opposition journals are becoming more and more violent in their denunciations of the treaty, while those of the administration show less energy in their support of peace. In another part of our paper we give several extracts from the Mex­ican papers before us, which show the feeling now existing upon the subject of peace.

The Monitor states that at the time of the depar­ture of the mail on Friday morning, but one deputy was wanting to form a quorum, and the expected member was counted upon as certain by Sunday. With the six Representatives who have already left this city for Querctaro, (yesterday and on Saturday) the Monitor says there will be more than the neces­sary number in both chambers. " The greatest tranquility prevails at Querétaro."

We have the Progreso of Sunday the 30th, but it says nothing of the arrival of the member above referred to ; but it does contain the letter öf a mem­ber—Don Manuel Crescendo Rejon, formerly Min­ister of War and Foreign Affairs—in which he an­nounces his determination to withdraw from the Assembly, on account of his opposition to any treaty, much less one negotiated by an unauthorized individual. We give this letter in another column. After this publication, we doubt not that many more of the members will J'ollow Mr. Rejon's example.

The feeling existing against peace, is illustrated by the fact that any report of pronunciamientos or insurrections against the government, are so eagerly swallowed by the Mexican press, and received with so much apparent satisfaction by the people. On the evening of the 29th ult., an extra was issued in the City of Mexico, purporting to contain informa­tion of a revolution in Querétaro, headed by the three generals, Almonte, Bustamente,and Paredes ; the first, an ultra Federalist or Democrat ; the second, a violent Centralist ; and the last, a notorious Monarchist. The report turned out to be untrue, later pajiers from Querétaro representing the greatest tranquility to prevail in that city. The Monitor says, that the circulation of such a rumor, almost proves the existence of a deep seated hatred, if not a positive conspiracy against the government. That paper says :

" There exists a factious band, which, with con­summate impudence, is circulating under the guise of truth, the most egregious lies. Nevertheless, we caution the government to be on the alert. Such news (referring to the handbill story) is generally the precursor of some great overturn. The con­duct of the government and of all good Mexicans should be characterized by vigilance, vigilance, vigilance."

The American Star, of the 2d, contai» a long article headed the triumvierate, devoted to an expo­sition of the characters and positions of the tliree Generals named as leaders of the revolution. The Star does not believe that Bustamente is concerned in any machinations against the administration, whose commands he is now executing against the Indians in San Luis Potosi.

It is not long since, in this paper, we suggested that the insurrectionary movements of the Indians, particularly in the States of San Luis Potosi and Guanaxuato, had some connection with the revolt in Yucatan. That opinion was confirmed by the confessions of the celebrated chief, Pat, himself, and is still further strengthened by late information from Mexico. We extlket the following items from the American Star':

The Indians.—The recent instances of a rising of the Indian population in several parts of the coun­try, seem to show that the people is animated by a similar Spirit to that of their brethren in Yucatan. We can hardly wonder at tlys, we who, are wit­nesses daily of the unbridled folly, ignorance, su­perstition and absurdity, of a great majority of their rulers.

Cuernevaca.—A gentleman who came in from Cuernevaca yesterday, informed us that the Indians are organizing in large numbers a short distance beyond that place. His information was derived from a Mexican officer who passed through that place day before yesterday. We have heard that the Indians had threatened to exterminate the white race, as they are endeavoring to do in Yucatan, but scarcely believe that they are so silly as to attempt it—at least whilst the Americans are in the country.

The Atalaya, of Durango, expresses much anxie­ty upon the same subject, and recommends a mili­tary league for mutual defence against the Indians, between tue States of Durango, Coaliuila, Chihua­hua and Zacatecas; all of. which, besides San Luis, Nuevo Leon, Guanaxuato and Guadalajara, are menaced by rebellion. The Liberal 1 erdadero of Guanaxuato, mentions an action which had taken place in San Luis Potosi, at a place called Cerro Grande, between a bod y of Mexican troops and 600 Indians. The insurgents were completely defeated, losing 12 killed and a number wounded. The Mexicans lost none. Two other important posts had previously been taken, and thirty-three prison­ers sent to the city of San Luis.

The following paragraphs, concerning some dis­tinguished Mexicans, are from the Star of the 30th ult. :

Perdigon—We had almost forgotten Perdigon Geray—the turbulent genius of the last Congress— until we saw his name in the Monitor of yesterday. That, paper says he was at Gaudaloupe a few days since, on his way to Tetecala, to join Alvarez, with a view of erecting the South into a Republic. It was supposed he was intending to take advantage of the Indian movement-near Cuernavaca. We presume he respects the armistice, of course.

Otero.—It has been stated that Dr. Otero, the author of the pamphlet on the last armistice, had placed himself at the head of a dozen opponents of peace at Querétaro, and was working against the Government. The Monitor discredits this, and cannot think that the good judgment of the Doctor would lead him to take part with the enemies of peace.

Paredes.—We think the Genera! referred to in the Monitor, whose letters we gave yesterday, as being concerned in machinations, ' desiring to be President, etc.. must be Almonte, and not Paredes. Several passages in the letter applied quite as well to the one. as the other, though it is hardly to be supposed that Paredes, while under the ban of the Government, would make his appearance at Que­rctaro. The rumors from that city fix upon Al­monte as the leading spirit of the revolutionists. It is not impossible, if it reaches anything like a head, that botli Bustamente and Paredes may be drawn into it, or rather plunge into it, for there is but little doubt that both of the ex-Presidents are ready to take advantage of everyjpopular outbreak which promises the overthrow of the peace party. We trust, however, the efforts of the Supreme Government, in counteracting the scheme« of the revolution»t*, wiU be wcooded bv every intelligent

citizen, particularly by the Senators and représentâ­mes at Querctaro. The leaders, unless they takee to their heels, will be likely to hear from Pefia y Pena.

On the Move.—The deputies from Puebla and Atlixco, who have been in the city for some days, left yesterday for Querétaro. Seats have also been taken in t he diligence for such other deputies a» may reach this city on their way to Querétaro. The Suph ntes or substitutes from this district will leave on Monday. The Monitor, ill view of this, renews its assurance that there will be a quorum on Monday if there be not one already.

From the same paper of the 2d inst. we extract the following items :

There were rumors in the street, yesterday, that a quorum had been obtained, though we could not trace it to any reliable source. We shall expect to hear that Congress commenced its session yesterday.

New Leon.—Paras, the Governor of New Leon, lias acknowledged the receipt of the circular of the Minister of Relations, announcing the ratification of a treaty of Peace by the Commissioners. II» says that Slate, in the midst of severe sufferings, lias not lost sight of the national honor and inde­pendence— that he will make known his opinion in regard to the treaty, and see that it reaches the Na­tional Representatives.

Another Robber;/.—On Saturday last as the Pue­bla diligence was on its way to the city, it was fired upon froin both sides of the road, by some ladrones near Cordova. It was descending a hill at the mo­ment of the attack. An American, one of the guards, w as shot in the head and fell off, though it is not known whether he was killed or not. Ano­ther was slightly wounded. The coachman was also wounded. The robbers on the road between this city and Puebla, appear to be on the increase. The roads are covered by rascals, and some of them, w ill swing from a. tree before they are much older. The robbers, in this case, obtained nothing in the shape of plunder.

The Monitor insists upon it that the American Commissioners leave to-day for Querétaro. We have made no inquiries on the subject. They will, probably, nqt present the Treaty tn the Government until there is some slight probability of its being acted upon by the Mexican Congress.

Lieut. Martin, 3d Dragoons, arrived from Pachu-ca on Saturday. The health of the troops has con­siderably improved.

The following is a list of the officers who came up with the tram on Saturday ;

Capt.'Howe, 2d Dragoons, commanding brigade ; 1st Lieut. Quinby, 3d Artillery, A. A. A. G. ; 2d Lieut. A. J. Dom, 3d Dragoons, commanding Dra­goons ; Capt. W. S. Henry, 3d Infantry, command­ing battalion Infantry ; Capt. Austine, 3d Artillery. Capt. Thos. Shields, 14th Infantry; 1st Lieut. J. Stewart, 3d Artillery ; Lieuts. Neill, 5th Infantry; DeRussy, 4th Infantry ; Wilbar, 14th Infantry ; Hart, 14th Infantry.

It is said there is a good deal of disaffection among the officers of the Mexican army at Queré­taro, in consequence of the arrears not having been paid them.

The Marines.—This corps left here yesterday for Vera Cruz, and, as some suggest, are destined for the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. Whether for that purpose, or to increase the Marine force on the sea, we cannot say, but gone they are, and may good luck attend them.

Health of the Troops at Molino.—W'e believe that the health of the troops now encamped at Molin» del Rey has been, for some time past, without ex- * ception, better than that of any other troops in the service, since the landing of General Scott at Vera Cruz to the present day. The troops mentioned consist of the 5th Indiana and 3d Tennessee Volun­teers ; and, from the medical reports, the health of the former for the last three months is quite unpar­alleled, while that of the latter, although a few men have died, may be considered as equal to any regiment in the service. We are glad to be able to make such a report.—American Star, April 29.

Visit to Contreras.—Yesterday the two Commis­sioners visited Contreras, accompanied by General P. F. Smith, the hero of the battle fought at that place. Messrs. Sevier and Clifford, to our mind, could not have had better company than the Gen­eral, in their examination of the ground and works of Contreras. He could point out to them the dis­positions of the different forces on the evening of the 19th and 20th ; could, with that true modesty which belongs to every great man, demonstrate to the strangers the difficulties of access to the enemy, and the indomitable courage displayed by our troops, witlvput using the personal pronoun / in every sentence.—Star, 29th.

Died—At Cuernavaca, on Friday, the 21st April, Charles Walbridge. Charley has been with the army since its arrival atMatamoros, and was taken prisoner by the Mexicans near Puebla, in July last, when Dickinson's party was surrounded. He was an enemy to no man but himself.—Star, 28th.

rUtrioiutin.—Among the recruits for the 9th, win» arrived the other day, was a blooming young girl in soldier's dress, [tanls, blue jacket and all. Wnen ijuestioned on the subject by Capt. Jackson, she was a good deal confused, but said she wished to accompany her husband, and not having clothes of her own, she put on a soldier's uniform. Such a girl will pass muster any where.—Star, '2Sth.

On Sunday, the 23d inst.. Sergeant Smith and three pri vates attached to Captain Wheat's com­mand of mounted men, when about six miles this side of Perote, discovered at a distance of about five hundred yards from the main road ten Ameri­can deserters, mounted and armed to the teeth. Having been detailed as a rear guard-to the mail train, the body of the men were more than a mile in advance when the deserters were first seen ; but notwithstanding the inferiority of numbers, Smith and his brave little party gave pursuit, and, after shooting one of the deserters, succeeded in putting the other nine to flight, capturing five horses, sabres and carbines, which, in their dread and colifusion, these miscreants abandoned, in order to effect their escape in a ravine. The names of the brave men who were engaged with Smith in this encounter are Howell, Lynch and Lawson.—Jahipa Watch­man, April 27.

The Porvenir of Toluca and the Progreio of Querétaro continue to oppose the treaty ; the Union, of San Luis Potosi, advocates peace.

A decree in the Registre de Durango says that the Congress of that State would adjourn on the 18t.li of May.

' — THE BARNBURNERS—President Polk. A Wash­

ington letter, dated the 9th instant, in the Baltimore Sun, proffers the following information :

" Some of the leading Barnburners from New York are now here„ and there is no doubt but that they w ill lie able to effect an arrangement with the Hunkers, in consequence of which the Barnburner« w ill be permitted to take their seats at the Conven­tion ; the Hunkers consenting to withdraw, pro­vided the Barnburners will pledge themselves to support the nominee of the Convention, whoever he may be. This, it is believed, the Barnburner* will agree to, and thus the democracy of New York is to be united as one man. I give you this, not merely as idle gossip or conjecture, but as a ' fixed fact,', on which you may rely. * * * The Presi­dent is much wronged by the several statements put forth in the Northern papers that Mr. Polk is a can­didate for reelection, or ' intriguing to secure his re-nomination.' The President does not think of a re-nominal ion, and tells his friends so every day-That the President may be urged by some of his quondam friends to accept a re-riomination, w highly probable, but that lie himself is a raov®' '.n

them, op authorizes, sanctions, or approves tnei efforts of a misguided zeal, is positively, absolute y, and entirely untrue."

FRENCH CONSULS IN AMERICA.—It is stated m the London Times of the 17th ult., t at i . on Favre has been appointed Consul f1"£ce

in the city of New York, in place of M. De la For­rest, who lias of course been removed. Oiere will probably be other change in the frenchConsu-late« in this country. M. CMb.lr.an ftp pointed Consul ftt Havinft.
