I atiempted ta to Gardiner, yesterday, but was obliged to come back. 1 he water is stul on the nse, and has risen sir I inches in the last hour. It never was known so high before, not even when there was a jam of ice. Now there is no ice, and the river is free for the water to go down. The lower part of the town is under water, and several schooners lie at anchor across the street.

The water rushes by us with great velocity. Thousands and thousands of dollars in property is ahead lost, and if the water continues to rise, there is no calculating the extent of tha damage. We are preparing to remove all onr goods if the water rises much more." B'ston Transcript. The Bait-more Republican of yesterday morning contaius the names of the delegates to the Baltimore Convention, which nominated jtfartin Van Buren. The delegates from Pennsylvania were George Kremer, of Union county; Jacob Gaarharuot Columbia; John H.

We copy the following article from the New Orleans Mercantile Advertiser, of the 7th inst. Ii is, indeed, A Wander. "It having become necessary to opeaone of the tombs iathe Catholic bunal ground, to inter another body ia the same tomb, tlie indivi-daais opening the same were surprised to Sad that the body of a man which had been entombed five years, had still every appearance of recent death, the coffin and shroud had mouldered into dust: and there, bare and exposed, lay the body, after five years entombment. When die persons moved the body to make room for the coffin which was to be placed in the same vault, the blood ran in its natural state from under the same. This information has been given ta us by a gentleman whose veracity may be relied upon." The Apportionment BUI.

The Globe rejoices ovetthe vole of the House rejecting the Senate's amendment to the Apportionment bill, and insinuates that the decision of the House was on constitutional grounds. It is not to be concealed that the question was one of political power between the great aad the small states. Thus, the bill save to New York one member for every 47,27 of her population: whereas, it gave to Delaware bat one for eveiy 75,432, and to Missouri only one for every of hers. The Senate's amendment proposed to equalize representation, by giving to the small states one representative for each fraction over a moiety of the arbitrary ratio assumed by the House. nd thus meeting, asnearly as possible, the requisition of the constitution in that particular.

The decision ia this case shows the influence of the Preuient over tlie legislation cf Congress. The House bill gave a decidtnl advantage to New York bv it she receiving two more representatives, an J. consequently, two more electoral votes, than her fair proportion. New York is Mr. Van urea's state; aad it was given out, ia unquestionable terms, that the President would veto the Senate's bill.

The Ilonse, aider such circam-staaces, adhered to the original hill, and have taken it for granted that the smaller states mast submit to this pressing injustice. But they will remember by whom they have sen deprived of that participation in the affairs of the government to which they are entitled under the constuatxn. The arguments of Mr. Clayton and of Mr. Webster are unanswered and unanswerable.

They all seem to regret the removal of his Lordship from the Government. One part of his reply to the Assembly gave much offence, however, the more rigid of the slave-holders. It was the follow in sr. The real condition of the slave, it is true, mast be seen, to be known; aad then it adiciisof various gradations. The real cause of your present distress results from that policy by which slavery was originally established: and this fine island can never develop the abundance of its resources while slavery continues.

But it is obvious every one, capable of forming an opinion on this important question, that any sudden measure mast prooace consequences equally disastrous to master and the slave to the United King- dom and her Colonies." yew York. Mercantile ta'r rt.ser. From the Xew York Courier and Enquirtr. 51EXICO. We translate the following from Le Tribun New Orleans: Letters from Mexico, addressed to a house in thia city, state that the government ia in the great difficulty.

They endeavored to obtain a loan two millions, bat faded. A revolt of the troops, however, who have sot been paid since the months of February, being apprehended, the Eng lish advanced the sum of 150,000 dollars, to be re paid in Custom-house dunes. Santa Anaa had made a vigorous sortie and cut pieces the troops under Caldaron. the private hiigush courier which ten era Cruz on toe Jut brought this news. Incendiary writings are in circulation against foreigners, whom the government affect- to believe are the principal cause of the wars which devastate Mexico.

This renders the situation ef foreigners very dangerous. The French and English Ministers have, however, made representations on this head sufficiently stiong to attract the attention of their governments. Advices from Tampico of the 1st May, inform oa that the mail from Agaas-Calienteshas been intercepted by order of tha government, to prevent its becoming known that the state of Jelesco had declared in favor of Santa Anna. The mail from St. Louis de Potosi of 27th April, had not arrived, it is believed from the same cause, and because troops had been sent thither by the state of Zacatecaj, with a view of hastening a declaration in the former place, in fa vor ot Santa Anna.

The accounts from Vera Craz were favorable to Santa Anna, and stale that Caideron, io-ti gated oj am soldiers, and moved stul more by the dis ease which carried otF great numbers ef them, had hoisted a white flag as a preliminary ta negotia tions. Many sorties made by Santa Anna, hare besides always turned out to his advantage. tram Vie Ac Bee, SLa lb. We learn by the schooner Tampico, arrived last evening from Vera Cruz, that an the 6th inst. the government troops commenced the bombard meat of the city, and that the bombs, failing in ev ery direction, had killed a woman, and wounded three other persons.

The bombardment continu ed until t.eeveaDg of the next day, when it ceased. A company of dr3r-ons, to the number of two hundred men. had sallied out and attacked an ad vanced post of the government troeps, and suc ceeded in driving themes. We are also informed that the caase of Santa Anna is daily becoming more certain of final suc cess, and teat the resistance made by the government serves only to augment his sr9nga and can-centrate his forces. From the Miswttri Republican.

INDLAN WAR. AEDIT105AX PAftTIC CUES. From another source, on which reliance may be placed, we have learned the following particular-. The detachment concerned in the engagement (abcat 275 men) had been encamped at Dixon's Ferry for several days before tha arrival cf the main body of the mill da, ander the command of Gen. Whitesides.

Immediately thereafter a request was preferred by Major Stilman, who commanded the detachment, to be allowed to go out upon a scouting expedition; which was granted by Gen- W. On Monday, the 14di, a detachment met a small party of Indians, and killed two, and made two others prisoners. They continued their rente, and encamped for the night ia aa advantageous position, a dense wood, surrounded by prairie. Almost as soon as they had dismounted, turned their horses loose, aad commenced prepa-tions for supper, a4 small party of Indians were discovered ia the neighborhood of the encampment, bearing with them a white flag. Captain Eades, with a few men, was sent out to meet them, when the Indians commenced a precipitate retreat This etficer acquainted jwith the Indian mode of warfare, and suspecting an ambush, followed them as far as he deemed prudent, aad then ordered his men to fall back upon the main party.

Although it was nearly dark, the whole detachment had been ordered to remount, and were met upon the route by the men who were returning. The pnrsoit was conducted without any regard to discipline, and had conliaued for several miles, the Indians receding as the troops advanced, anlit they had decoyed them across Sycamore Creek, as it is called in the This they did in disorder, and as each man successively reached it. Being thus decoyed into die midst of the main body of the Indians, and without beins allowed time to form, hostilities were commenced. The Indians showed themselvesoa every quarter, mounted and armed- They commenced the attack with their uns, and after firing them resorted to the use of tomahawks and knives. As soon as their desperate situation was known, Major Stilman ordered a retreat across the creek, after an ineffectual fire at the enemy.

The savages followed close upon them. No time was allowed for them to form on the opposite bank of the creek. A compaay under the command of Capt. Adams, of Tazewell county, who were ia the rear, endeavored to make a stand against them and fought with desperation. About half of the missing are thought to have belonged to this company.

The battle was fought by moonlight, in an open ptairie, and the pursuit was kept up for ten or twelve miles. The survivors began to arrive at Dixon's Ferry, about one o'clock ia the morning; and after a sufficient time had elapsed, the next day, for them all to have "come in, the roll was called and fifty-twa were found to be missing-. A few of those who escaped were wounded, and many had their hats and clothes perforated with bullet holes. Some of the savages were killed, bat the number could not be ascertained. Various estimates are given of the strength of the Indians: the number is probably between 12 and 1500 warriors.

seems to have acquired some consistency. It is certain that M. C. Perier's ability to resume the direction of public affairs is by this time nearly despaired of by his political adherents. mat his nearest relations aad most intimate private friends have resolved to use every means capable of persuading him from the intention of doing so, which up to this moment he seems to entertain.

Yesterday and the day before, M. Perier was much worse than he had been for some time. day he is rather better. His wife is in a very bad way with the cholera, aad his son Paul haa been attacked by the same disease. Geo.

Sebaa- Uana i still in a hopeless stale as to anv Drosoect retarmngto an active life; aad as to M.d'Argout, who, since my last letter, has been attacked by the prevailing disease, his life is in danger, therefore, one caa say that he will remain a member of the present Cabinet. Under all the circumstances, it is evident to every one that the Perier ad-miniaistration is tumbling to pieces, and that the chances of a chart's of men. if not of mpsmrw. almost amount ta a certaialy at the present moment. The decline of the ch.lera 'is still apparent from the otacial and other reports, but it is not quite so rapid as "rt promised to be when it first began.

A-mong the most recent victims cf the disease is Mr. Philipp, the Hanoverian Charge Affaires. On Wednesday afternoon I met him on the Bouvelards lie was then ia high spirits aad perfect health. Last night he was a corpse. NEW MINISTRY IN FRANCE.

Various combinations have been aaemoted in the course of yesterday and to-day. M. Dupm-naine. has been applied to, to take unon himself the orSce of the Minister of the Interior, bat with- out being named President cf the Council. This he has refused.

Louis Philip is very desi- roas of presiding himself at the Conncil of Mia- Liters, and naming, therefore, no President of the Council. To this proceeding M. Barthe and Marshal Soult are opposed. They ask how can minister-consent ta be responsible for their acts, if those acts are to be directed by the King. Of coarse various slants are aixoat, aad various lists ia circulation.

And now let me say a few words en all these statements- 1st. M. Perier will nerer again be Minister of the Interior, nor President of the Council. 2d. No ether Ministry formed to carry on tlie same system would have a majority in the Chamber of Deputies.

3. The Royalists are not at present prepared ta make an attempt at a restoration. 4m. The extreme liberals will net accept office with the present dynasty; and lastlv, all cabinets now formed are merely temporarv" AS ANOTHER REVOLUTION IS CERTAIN. AND INDEED INEVITABLE.

The combinations new formed, and the lists now published, and the men now ap pointed, are therefore of comparatively little importance, since another revolution is at hand. Cholera, ix Ireland. Liverpool. Slay 1. la Ireland, and especially in the capital, the disease appears to be making considerable progress.

Oa Friday 112 new case-were announced in Dublin, and the deaths from the commencement ef me disease amount to 226. The mischief is considerably increased by the ab surd preiadices of the people, who resist the at tempts made to remove infected persons to the hospitals, from an impression that their bodies are used for anatomical pumoses.

One of the new cases this day, is that cf a woman who officiated as nurse to two cholera patients who refosed to be removed to the hospital. A great change has been wrought in the public mind as to the necessity of prompt application, of medical assistance as soon as ne premonitory symptoms are discovered.

The course which atfairs are taking in Ohio, afforded an additional argument in favor of the omission to nominate an electoral ticket If no Clay ticket had been formed, the Antimasonic Convention, which is about to assemble at Columbus, might have separated without nominating an electoral ticket that, however, is now probably past hope. Mr- Craig I da not understand this matter of rh oaoers.

It seems to me that some of printers mat make news to quiz us foiks ia the country. In your last Gazette, jou have a long article about the defeat of som mounted militia, by the Ind.aa.-s avay op the Mississippi riven and you have another piece of news the Reform Bill in the EngHsh Parliament having passed a second reading, by a majority of nice votes; and you give all the particulars. Now, it does seem to me that you made this Indian news, and that about the passage of die Reform Bill; aad I will tell you why I think so. I carefully looked ever the last Mercury, which was published nme hours after dw. and there was not vord in a about TpSed de' eat of moaated militia: and tats preienuu ueicai thor.

As to the present matters, the Indian news Is undoubtedly true; every paper from the west confirms it, and as to the Reform Bill, the intelligence of its passage is undoubtedly conect also. Tie news its rejection, is old news, and is the same that was published in our paper a week ago.

If A Reader still doubts onr statement, we only a.k him to look at the next Mercury, or the one a wct after that, and we think it proUble he will, even in that paper ea'mnSrmntionofthe defeat of the Mil- 1' itia and the passage of the second reading of tlie Refonn Bill Ve cannot account for the non-appearance of these articles in the last Men urr. except by supposing that he editor of that valuable paper was so by our "desertion of Mr. Clay, iliat he could not attend to his editorial duties JFFFERSON COLLEGE.
