Arrival o! the Steamer Hibernia,
7 DsysTJatei from Europe.
At two o'clock Thursday morning the
following dispatch of the Steamer Hiber
nia's news reached us from our correspon
dent at St. John’s, N. It.
[Telegraphed for the Baltimore Sun.]
Sr. John's, X. 8., Aug. 15—10 P. M.
The steamer Hibernia arrived at Halifax
yesterday afternoon, and in a lew minutes
afterwards your overland express started
with the news, but, owing to a ve
ry dense fog in the Bay cl Fundy, the ex-'
press steamer was detained about twenty
hours, thus preventing you from getting i
the news that much earlier.
Hungarian War.
The Hungarians continue successful.
They have defeated and out-manoeuvred
the combined armies, placing the Austri-j
ans in peril, and cutting of! the Russians
from their base ol operations.
The three grand divisions of the Hunga
rian army, under Bern, Dembinski and
Gcorgey, are in full communication with
each other and ready to act in concert —
their respective positions being rendered
secure by the nature of the country. The
Whole population are assisting the Hunga
rians by buying the food, horses, &c., and
giving intelligence of til* enemy’s move
ments.
The London News of the third contains
Vienna dates to the 28th July. Lord
Palmerston’s speech fell like a thunder
clap upon the Ministers. The news of
tileorgey’a victory over the Russians at Co
aster, and his entry into Rostham, came at
the same time. There were rumors even
of the Austrian Generals having instruc
tions to negotiate for a peace.
ft is reported that Senora has surrender
ed to the Magyars. Ban Jellachich was
continuing his retreat to the South of Ser
bia, General Bern announces his great
victory in three words, which are as fol
ows, vis:—“Beji!” —“Bam!”—“BavmI”
In a later dispatch he says: “Our army lias
now to conquer but two Generals more.”
Letters from Cracow, of the 23J oi June ’

were on the point of leaving that city tor j

On the 15th ofjuly a desperate battle
was fought at Waitzen, between the Rus

the Hungarians, under, Georgy, in which
the latter were completely victorious.
The army ol Georgy broke through the
lines ot the enemy, and marched North,
thuseffecting a junction with the main
army.
A letter [[from the Secretary of War
says that the charges of the Hungarians
upon Paskaiwilch’s divisions were tre
mendous, and the Russians were com
pletely borne down and compelled to
yield beloie the terrible onslaught of the
enraged Magyars, who fought with un
exampled courage and'danng. Another
letter describes the Russian retreat to
Donakess before Denbei skies hnzzars, as
a disorderly flight, and says that the Rus
sians were only saved from annihilation
by the timely atrlval of Gen. Ramberg.
It was admitted in Vienna on the 4th
that the victory’of the Hungarians was

Unlawful Expedition against Cuba.
pROCI.ASIATtOn lIY THE PRESIDENT The
official papers at Washington, of yesterday,
j publish the following proclamation, which
■ they stale wns received at the Department
iof Flute, on Monday, in a communication
from President Taylor, at Harrisburg, Pa;
A Proclamation.— There is reason to
! believe that an armed expedition is about
to be fitted out in the United States, with
an intention to invade the Island ol Cuba
or some of the Provinces of Mexico. The
best information which the Executive lias
been able to obtain, points to (he Island of
Cuba as the object of this expedition. It,
is the duty of this Government to observe
the faith of treaties and to prevent any ag
gression by our citizens upon the territo-!
firs of friendly nations. 1 have, I hero fore, I
thought it necessary and proper to issue I
this proclamation, to warn all citizens of
the United Slates who shall connect them
selves with an enterprise so grossly in vi
olation of our laws and our treaty obliga
tions, that they will thereby subject them
selves to the heavy penalties denounced
against them by our Acts of Congress, and
will forfeit their claim to the protection of
their country. No such persons must ex
pect the interference of this Government
in any form on their behalf, no matter to
what extremities they may be reduced in
consequence of their conduct. An enter
prise to invade the territories of a friendly
nation, set on foot and prosecuted within
the limits of the United Stales, is in the
highest degree criminal, as tending to en
danger (he peace and compromit the ho
nor ofthis nation;and, therefore, I exhort
all good citizens, as they regard our na
tional reputation, as they respect (heir own !
laws and the laws of nations, as they value
the blessings of peace and the welfare ol
their country, to discountenance and pre
vent by all lawful moans, any such enter
prise; and I call upon every officer of this
Government, civil or military, to use all
efforts in his power to arrest for trial and
punishment every such offender against the
laws providing for the performance of our
sacred obligations to friendly Powers.
Given under my hand, the eleventh day
day of August, in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and forty-nine,
and the seventy-fourth of the Indepen
dence ofthe United Staten,
Z, Taylor.
By the President:
John M. Clayton, Secretary of Slate
The Washington Republic accompanies
this proclamation with the following state
ment:—
“Information lias been for some time in
possession of the government, to the effect
that bodies of men were in the course of j
being levied and drilled in New Orleans, |
New York, and other cite s ofthe Union;
that money to a considerable amount has
been contributed; that arms have been pro
vided, and arrangements made on a large
scale, with a view to some military expe
dition. These movements have been con- j
ducted with great secresy, and the olject i
ot the ent> rprise has been concealed even |
from the individuals who have embarked I
in it. Sufficient evidence, howcvei, has I
been obtained to satisfy the President that i
the design of the expedition is an invasion
of Cuba, and that the intervention of the
Executive was necessary to preserve our
neutral obligations, and to keep unsullied
the honor of the American people.”
The Intelligencer, in its remarks on the
proclamation, says (hat they have positive
information that bands cf men have lately
assembled at a point not far from New
Orleans; and that the evidence is clear
that Cuba is the real object of those en
gaged in if.

The Death or Albert Gallatin. —
We yesterday announced by telegraph
the death at N. York, of the venerable
Albert Gallatin. The New York corres
pondent of ihs Philadelphia Inquirer, in
noticing his death, says:
“It is but a little while since, in an
nouncing the decease of Mrs. Gallatin,
the very natural idea arose in our minds
that alter so long a companionship, the
the strongest feeling present with her
surviving partner, would bo, probably, a
wish that be might not linger long be
hind. If such was his wish, as maybe
prerumed, it has received its consnmn
non; the venerable Albert Gallatin de
pailed this life yesterday, having nearly
attained the palriatchal age of ninety
In answer to inquiries concerning him,
made only a few weeks since, I was in
formed that his bodily infirmities seemed
scarcely to increase, while his intellect
lemained vigorous and acme as It was
yearsago. His lii-tory as an Ameiican
citizen, diplomatists and s alesman, is so
well known, that it is needless to sup
ply an outline of it here. Almost from
the infancy of our Republic he has had a
prominent part among those by whom its
destinies wore guided and controlled.
The occasion of his death will bo marked
I presume, by appropriate official and gen
eial action.”

• The Congressional Convention will
meet in Elklon on Thursday the 23d inst.
H?“ The Whig Convention on AVednes
day last , presented to the voters of the
cminty an unusually strong ticket, and
one which ought to be elected.
As i< usually the case other gentlemen
were urged by their friends and several
were well sustained in the convention.
The choice fell, however, on those pla
ced at the head of our paper, and they
will, of course receive the united vote
of the party. Sectional feeling and per
sona! feeling will, of course, be laal a
side, and overlooked, and a determined
effort made to secure the election of the
whole ticket. We cannot allow our
selves to suppose, that any other course
will be pursued by any one who may nut
have been satisfied entirely with the
nominations.
There is good reason this fall to hope
for success, and we invoke the aid of eve
ry Whig in behalf of the ticket— the
whole ticket. It will not do to allow
any prejudice, or local interest, or per
sonal pique to influence the action of
those who profess to be Whigs of the
light 'tamp—all must waive such minor
considerations for the general good.
It so happens that wt* cannot all have
our choice of men. With some that is
thecaseat this time—another year and
they may have their choice and others
may be disappointed—so. that, it becomes
necessary for all to stand firm occasional
ly, through disappointments.
We repeat—there is good reason this
fall to hope for success with our Dele
gates Let every Whig voter, there
fore, exert himself for the whole ticket.
For Congress. —The locofoco congres
sional convention which met at Chester-1
town on Wednesday, nominated Samuel
M. Magraw, Esq., lor Congress In this
District. We are satisfied with that nom
ination: He carries with him uo prestige
of success. He will bo boatH. We pre-j
suvv.e there is no man of judgment in his •
party, who thinks otherwise*
'I he Whig Convention meets on Thurs
day next—the 23rd inst., in this town.|
We have information from all the counties. |
lion. Alexander Evans will be re-nomi-,
noted by acclamation. So let his friends;
—and every whig, consider hirnnnmi-!
tinted. He is in fact, in flic field. Let t’f I
now begin to Work for him,and swell him j
up a splendid majority. Lotus election-1
eer—let us show the importance of having)
the present Administration backed by a!
Whig Congress. Let us show every Tay
lor man, cf every parly, that old Rough
anti Ready is shorn of half his strength—is
in fact left helpless, unless he has a favor
able Congress. He was elected for impor
tant purposes—let him be sustained by a
Congress that will hear him out in them.
The whole District knows the character of
Mr. Evans as a gentleman of splendid abil
ities—let them electioneer for him as a
man who will reflect credit upon his con- j
stituents. And let nil who know him;
personally, as we do, show him forth
as a man of unsullied integrity, and one
who can bo sworn by through every trial.
Out to the work, friends! in every counly.
Cut in every district—in every valley and
on every hill. Tho Union expects Mary
land to do her duty, anil the Whigs of
Maryland expect a good report from the
whigs of the fifth Congressional District.
Out—and let us electioneer.
Tun Locofoco Candidate*. —Richard
J. Foard, Noble Biddle, Richard L. Thom
as and Milton Y. Kidd, Esqts., have been
nominated by the locofoco* of this coun
ty for the State Legislature. They aie
very fair men, and they belong to the
party which generally carries this coun
ty. Nevertheless, the Whigs have car
ried it often lately, and judging from vari
ous matters within our ken we think
they will carry it Ibis (all. We know
that if the Whigs arc firm they-will car
ry the county by a large majority—mstk
we say l large majority. Let every
Whig, then, be true to his trust.

Tnn Elections —The AVhigs, in the |
late elections, as well as we can under- j
stand, lost 2 members of Congress in In- I
diana and one in Tennessee, and main- 1
tained their own in Kentucky and North
Carolina.
I he result of (he elections for the nut
Congress, giving the Free Srilers their j
usual bias, seems to be Whigs 107 an d lu I
cos 101. There are yet 20 members to
be elected, of whom, in the last Con
gress ll Wi-re locoforoa and 9 Whigs. Ii
is to be a close Mouse—very close.
Wholesale Stealing.— Sassafras Neck,
in this county, has been thrown into a fer
mem within the last few days, ly the dis
covery of a series of the most high handed
and extensive robberies ever perpetrated
in a civilized community. It is alleged
by some that the farmers there have late
ly been robbed of some throe thousand dol
lars worth of grain anil other property.
The parties charged are four in number,
have fled from the neighflorhood, and are
handhilled and a reward of S2OO offered
for their arrest—still we hesitate to publish
their names. They are charged with go
ing to barns, yoking up the oxen of Lem
urs, and hauling away their corn and
w heat by fifties of bushels, and shipping
it to Baltimore—with killing cattle pi ml
selling the beef even iO the owners— with
stealing uncounted sheep, hogs, poultry,
tkc. It is farther alleged that they have
gone to the houses of men supposed to
■have money, to kill and rob them, but
have been frightened off. In short, their
depredations have been enormous, and we
await further and more certain develop
ments*

Letter from Chesapeake-
Chesapeake Citv, Aug. iCth, TO.
P. C. Ricketts, >V : Rear Sir:—Har
vest is now over, and to ail appearances
the wheat and oats v. ill fall far short of an
average crop, hut corn bids fair for a very
abundant yield. The late seasonable rains
will make up in that crop much of the de
ficiency in other grains. Our canal is in
fine navigable order at this time; the sup
ply of water is so abundant that the steam \
pump, used for the purpose of supplying!
the canal, hat been itopt for the present, j
Our City is, beginning to assume a more
lively aspect; the trade upon the canal is
rapidly, increasing, and with it all kinds of
business in the place will improve.
I have read the report of the President |
and Directors of the Cites. & Del. Canal
Co., for the fiscal year ending June Ist
1819, and find the amount of tolls receiv
ed to be $17.'!,029.82. This you will sec
falls short of my anticipation in a former
letter; hut says the Report, “the decrease ;
in the receipts may be considered as flue- j
hinting and temporary, whilst it may bo
safely inferred that the constantly inert as
ing population and commerce of our conn- |
try will produce a corresponding general
increase of the business and revenue of the
Canal Co.” An additional source of Rev
enue will now be added by the Lykens
Valley Coal Co., who purpose sending large
quantities of coal, (said to be a superior fu
el for generating steam,) through the canal
to be deposited at Delaware City for ship
ments to the Eastern markets. In fact
shipments have already been made for that
purpose.
I sec an account of your contemporary
of the Democrat in regard to the lumber
trade of Port Deposit, has been copied in
the Baltimore Sun, not however without
some douhls as to the correctness of the
figures. In all probability the mistake
originated hv placing dollars in lieu of feel
It is evident that a greater part of the lum
ber trade of Port Deposit passes through this
place, and I find from reliable data, the
i average number of feet which passed
through the canal per year, for the four
last years, has been as follows:
TTnsawed lumber, 1,635,752 ft,
Sawed do 36,413,839 ft.
Shingles 13,371,867
Fmm the above statement I judge your
contemporary has either been in error as
before stated, or else ho lias been misin
formed.
On the 15th inst. the steamer Lancaster,
brought a party of ladies and gentlemen
from Port Deposit and Havre de Grace, on
a Excursion to this place.—My absence at
the time prevents me from noticing par
liculars at length, but I have been informed
that the party was not so numerous as it
would have been, owing to a Harvest Homo
that took place somewhere in the vicinity
of Port Deposit on that clay. They were
accompanied by a band from Port, which
delighted our citizens with some choice
pieces of music.
The political waters arc again troubled
—the Legislative rowers are fairly seated,
and if the Locofoco party ever pass by the
current that leads to the head waters of
Salt River, why then your correspondent
will no more be a judge about the quarter
from which the wind blows. I have not
yet ascertained who the democrats have
brought forward for Congress; still, as be
fore stated, I have no doubt but that Mr.
Magraw will be their man. Be he whom
they chose, with a popularity like that of
i Mr. Evans to contend against, he will be,
ras a strew against the Wind. 1
| The health of Che*. City is not so good
las it was at my previous date. There nave
been some cases of Diarrhcrn and Dysei ta
[ ry. Within the lost ten days two deaths
have occurred from the above com
plaints: both children.
I observe the editor of “The Democrat”
has been too sensible to let the communica
tion of “Doha” appear in his columns.
No doubt he did so as much from regard to
the feelings of the writer as from anv oili
er consideration. Adieu. ION.

From Texas and the Rio Cinnde—lndi
an Outrages. — By the arrival at New Or
leans, on the Gth inst, of the steamship
Portland, Captain Place from tho Bra
zos the 3d inst, the Picayune has receiv
ed numbers of the Brownsville Flag to
the 2d, inclusive.
The Flag says that the Government at
AA’ashington, immediately on the receipt
of the intelligence of the Indian incur
sions on the Texas line, promptly issued
tho necessary orders for additional and
more available protection being placed
there.
The Picayune takes the subjoined
(torn the Flag of the 2*ltb ultimo.
“Capt. H.Clay Davis, who lias just ar
rived in our city from above, informs us
that Indians, about 80 in number, were
lately seen in (he vicinity of the ‘Wells’
apparently journeying towards the low
er country Capt. Davis says that the
cruelties lately perpetrated by tho Indi
ans are unparalelied in the history of
this frontier. Among other circumstan
ces he relates liaving'assisted in burying
three Mexican women, whom he found
while following the trail of the Indians.
It appears that their husbands had been
murdered at the rancho, and these wo
men carried off, who after being horri
bly abused were also mxidtred.”
Alleged Outrage on our Flag-
Gen Oudinot ahd Hr- Cass.
We published a (iw days since, nn rx
tract from a letter to the 'Newark Boston
Advertiser, relative to the commission of
an alleged outrage upon the American Con
sul at Rome by some French soldiers. The
Washington Republic of Monday the
following official information received rel
ative to the difficulty;—
“We understand that Mr. Brown, our
consul, called in person and made a repre
sentation of the facts of the rase to General
Oudinot. The goneral-in-chief received
him with courtesy, and listened to his state
ment with due attention, accompanied
with all proper expressions of regret, and,
in conclusion, directed the chief of the staff
to return with Mr. Brown to the consulate,
to collect from witnesses of the scene full
information in regard to it.
“The next day a military court was
called, which sat for nine hours, eliciting
the facts of the case, with all the minute
ness which distinguish the French tribu
na's. In the course of tins examination it
appeared that two of Mr. Brown's servants
(Italian#) had repeatedly, during the day,
insulted the French soldiers in passing.
At the time in question, an individual be
longing to a large crowd of Italians, which,
in defiance oi a general order of the day
previous, was assembled, to the nunii er of a
hundred or a hundred and fifty, at the
consul's house, had drawn a poniard upon
the guard. A patrol; passing at the time,
entered the house, not being apprized of
its character, and made prisoner of the in
dividual in question, and of another who
was recognized as a deserter from the
French army. They then withdrew with
the prisoners It was in evidence upon
oath that the patrol deported themselves
without menace, and were uninformed of
the character of the premises until they
were on the point of retiring.
“Mr. Brown left (he city with his fam
ily while this examination was in progress
leaving Mr. Freeman, (our consul at An
cona;) in file temporary discharge of the
duties of the Roman consulate. In conse
quence of Mr. Brown's absence, and under
the impression that the consulate was left
without an agent, we understand that Gen.
Oudinot addressed a communication to Mr.
Cass, our charge d'affaires, in which ha
recapitulated the result of the examination
substantially as we have given it above,
and expressed the regret which lie had
experienced at the error that had been
committed, which had been previously ex
pressed in person to the American consul
and vice consul. He also rem wed to Mr.
Cass the assurance that no one in tiie French
army had harbor* d the design of disregard
ing the rights of his country; or questioning
tiie inviolability of domicil of diplomatic
functionaries.
“General Oudinot further stated, we
understand, that the two prisoners Had
been released, and expressed the hope that
the communication which had been mad*
would be a sufficient satisfaction for the
error which had been committed, and
which could not occur again.”
