the prosecution; the defence had four attorneys, among

Wat bins aided in placing arms on board the Caroline at
night; that he promised to pay for damage done by the
Caroline party; that he made a speech to the Anita par
ty in the Columbia engine house in this city, the night
the vessel sailed; tnat in this speech lie spoke as ttieir
leader, told them they would go to aid Walker; that he
had examined the vessel and found her seaworthy, and
that he had ninety days provisions on board; that he
Bentarms and ammunition on board that night; that he
was recognized as tlie leader on the Anita; that lie with

The Challenge, the vessel chartered under the Mexican
Consul to take eight hundred Frenchmen and Germans to
Cuaymas, was atopped on the 23d by the United States
Marshal, for the reason that she was about to carry too
many passengers for her measurement. She was stopped
a second time on the 29tb. The alleged reason for pre
venting her departure was a mere pretence, since it is
?well known that the law limiting the number of passen
gers on vessels is very frequently violated in this harbor,
without any interferenee of the authorities. Whether
it was feared that the immigrants would bother the fili
busters or build up a strong foreign influence, is not
rleaT; but it is s fact well known to those who have been
long in Sonora that the foreigners are unanimously in fa
vor of American dominion.

Arrest r>f tlie Mexican Consul.
STARTLING DEVELOl'EMKNTS?THE WHOLE PLOT DIS
COVERED?SECRET INSTRUCT IO MS FROM SANTA
ANNA.
[From the San Francisco Herald. April 1.]
At hull past one o'clock yesterday, the United States
Marshal proceeded to the Consular residence of Mr. Luia
del Valle, Consul for the republic of Mexico at this port,
and arrestnt t' at genth man for violation of the laws of
the United Stntos, by enlisting men within the territory
of the United Hates into the service of a foreign govern
ment.
The i (fence with which the Mexican Consul is charged
is punishable under the second section of the acl of Con
gress of the 20tli of April, 1818. which reads as follows :?
Sec 2. If any person shall, within the territory or juris
diotion of the United Stales, enlist or enter himself, or hire
or retain another person to cn i.t or enter himself, or to go
beyond the limits of jurisdiction of '.he United States, with
intent to lie culisted or entered in the service of any foreign
l'rince, State, colony, district, or people, as a soldier, a
marine, or seaman, on hosrd of any vessel of war letter of
msri]ue, or privateer. every person so offending shall be
deemed guilty of a Idgb misdemeanor, and be fined not ox
needing unc thousai <i do iars and imprisoned not exceeding
threovcors t his act does not extend to the sutjector citi
zen ofnuy foreign l'rince, State, colony, district or people,
who ,1:?11 transiently 1 e within the United States, and shall,
on board of any vetscl of war. letter of marque, or priva
teer, which at tho time of its arrival within the United
States was httcd and equipped as such, enlist or enter him
self. or hire or r> tain another subject or citizen of the same
foreign l'rince, Stato, colony, district, or people, who is
trsnsiently within the United States, to enlist or enter him
selftororve such foreign i'rinee, State, oolony, district, or
pelple, on board such vessel of war, letter of marque, or
privateer, ti the. United States shall then he at peace with
such foreign Pi iuco, State, colony, distriot, or peoplo.
It is clinrgt d against the consul that in obedience to
certain instruct ions purporting to have come from the
government of Mexico, he has been engaged in enlisting
in this port a band of three thousand men. who were to
proceed to (iuoymas, there to be enrolled into the Mexi
can army. The advance of this force was to have sailed
on board the Challenge. The ship, however, was de
tained by order of the collector of the jiort for a violation
of the revenue laws of the United States. We under
stand there is abundant proof of the enlistment of these
men as soldiers, and ol the issuing of commissions to
officers.
This proof consists, besides other things, of the depo
sitions of two gdhtlemen of the highest respectability in
this city. '1 he public will see from these facts that we
have not hitherto spoken unadvisedly concerning the
numbers and the object of this expedition.
Thd instructions from the Mexican government to the
Consul at this port were as follows:?
To send down to (lusymas about three thousand men.
to he enlisted into the Mexican army for one year.
The cost of transportation to lie defrayed by drafts
drawn by tho Mexican Ceusul on the national treasury
at Mexico.
The force to he composed of Germane, Irish. Italians,
and French?the latter to be preferred.
Mexican citizens to lie counselled to leave California,
and ships to be employed by the Consul for that purpose.
Such is a brief abstractor the instructions.
The following is the letter of the General commanding
this repurtment. requesting the arrest of the Consul.?

By E. C. Pai.mi r, Deputy.
The arrest wits made hy (Ion. Richardson, United States
Marshal, in person, assisted by one of his deputies. As
soon as tlic wamot was issued, the Marshal proceeded
to tho residence of the Consul, on Vallego atroet, between
Kearny and Dupcnt stieota. In the office there were a
number of Frenchmen, doubtless enlisting for the enter
prise which wns about to be summarily stopped. Upon
inquiry, Gen. Richardson was informed that Senor del
Valle wns so mueli engaged in hia room on the second
floor that he could not comedown. The officers imme
diately proceeded to the room indicated, nnd there found
the Consul seated liehind a table, very attentively ex
amining some papers. Ho politely requested his visiters to
be sealed, when the Marshal drew forth the warrant,
and in the Spanish language informed him of the objeet
of his visit, at the same time gently tapping him on the
shoulder and pronouncing the words in the Spanish Ian
gunge; I airest you in the name of the United States."
Senor del Valle manifested no surprise, and wns not in
the slightest degree disconci rted, but quietly takiug the
warrant, he read it over with great <UUlceration and re
turned it to-the marshal. Con. Richardson asked him if
he understood llie contents of iho document, to which
he returned an nfliimative answer, nnd slowly rising
from his chair, naked to 1 e excused until he could change
ids eoat. He stepped into another room, nnd in a few
moments returned, and wns conducted a prisoner of the
United States to the oflice- f Commissioner Papv. As
scon as the object of Gen. Richardson's visit was Known,
the frenchmen who were seemingly about to enlist, iiu
mediately retired. The arrest was consummated liy two
o clock, and Me nor del \alle was from that time until
four engaged in executing the bond, upou which he was
discharged fiom custody.

Lieut. Grover and party, belonging to Governor Ste

in August last on the east side of the Rocky Mountains, to
survey the Upper Missouri during the autumn, and to
explore in mid winter the northern passes, and report
the depth o( snows in that region, and the winter ob
structions, if any, of which so much has been said
against the southern route. Owing to the great time
that had elapsed without any news being received of the
party, it was reported in Oregon that they had been lost
In the snows. By the last number of the Spectator, how
ever, we learn that they had all arrived in safety.
A gentleman from Cooso Ray informs us that there are
gTest numbers of people there, and but little gold. Those
who hav e gone are wishing themselves back again. The
excitement which was raised caused many to be hum
bugged. A letter received from the same place says that
the bark Louisiana had got in safely and all were well.
There were six or soven men drowned in attempting to go
to her while outside of the bar, by the capsizing of their

OUR ASl'INW ALL CORRESPONDENCE.
United States Ship Cyans 1
Aspinwali, April 17,1854. j
Arrival of Lieut. Strain at AipinwaU?The Chancet for a
Canal Ferj1 Bad?Four of Party Dead?Their
Nana?Iht Vigilance Committee?Arrival of the l~anl.ee
Blade at Panama.
I wrote you per the North Star, which left here on the
15th instant, a very short and hurried note, which I gave
in charge to her gentlemanly Captain. Since then 1 have
had the pleasure of meeting the gallant Strain, and hear
ing personally some account of the varied hardships and
sufferings which he and his party have undergone; he is
loeking very well?better, perhaps, than might be ex
pected. He says there is as much proBpect of building a
canal there as a railroad to the moon, and that Mr. Gis
bournc's and Dr. Cullen's statements in reference to the
topography of the whole country have proved totally
false. From the 30th of January to the 26th of March
they were compelled to subsist on nuts, a few wild oranges,
and would occasionally shoot a will pigeon, which,
divided amongst them, formed a very small al'owance.
Strain appears to he firmly impressed with the opinion
that no route for a canal existH on the Isthmus of liaric-n.
He has accomplished by his bravery and powers of endu
rance a feat which ban been achieved for the first time?
that of crossing the Isthmus without a guide. The an
nuls ol buccaneers do not furnish us with the history et
such an event, and my personal observation enables me
to say, that neither Gis bourne nor any other English sur
vey officer crossed without the aid of Indian guides,
for which they had to pay largely.
Strain, I am sorry to add. has lost four of his men, but
has the melancholy satisfaction of havirg himself covered
their remains with their mother earth. Strain, with a
small party, reduced by laiuineand want, kept the Indians
at bay. aiid by timely threats and judicious manage
ment*, pursued his way unmolested. We cannot bul ad
mire the manly fortitude and gallant bearing of our bravo
countrymen, who, without guides and without provi
sions. pursued tlu-ir course (hrough an unexplored re
gion of country, until they had attained their object?
that of reaching the shores of the Pacific.
Mr. Strain left again this morning for Panama; to
morrow ho intends to proceed to tbe Gulf of San Miguel,
?fiH hting on the remainder of his party.
All, you may rest assured, arc highly delighted at the
dea ol meeting their comrades oixe more, and to Cap
aiu llollins no pleusantcr intelligence eonld be sent.
1 at humune and | hilauthropic gentleman, aided by his
(fleers and men. never fur a moment faltered in their
very endeavor to pain intelligence of their missing com
ades. On the day that news of Strain's arrival and
afety at Sau Miguel reached the ship, 1st Lieutenant
Pickering nud Passed Midshipman Mayo, with ten men,
were within a few miles of the Chuguanugua, with the
intention of de scending that stream in search of Strain,
tliut party making the seventh which had left the ship in
pursuit of them.

BLADE?VESSELS OF WAB AT VALPARAISO, ETC.
Tlie steamship Yankee Made, Oapt. Randall, arrived at
Panama on Ihe 14th instant, from Valparaiso, whence
she sailed on the 3d instant. She made the passage from
New York to Panama in sixty-eight days, including a de
tention of twenty days.
We learn that the I-ota (Chile) coal, taken on hoard 1
the Yankee Blade, has enabled her to make as good, if
not better, average time from Valparaiso, than the coat
she received either in New York or Rio Janeiro.
The news from Chile, since the sailing of the last '
British steamer, is unimportant. Alluding to foreign i
war vessels, the Valparaiso Herald of 31st ult. says:?
Since our last steamer edition we have hail quite a fleet
of vessels of war in onr harbor. and the exchanging of noisy
salutes from the "adamantine lips" of tbo "dogs of war,"
with which these vessels are plentifully furnished, have
frequently startled the nerves of onr peaceful citizen*, and
caused the " ovirl?btinR hills" which surround our beauti
ful hay, to ebuddor in the reverberation of " tho cannon's
awful roar " We l ave linn at one time flags of four of the
greatest Powers iii the world flying on tho peaks of four as
hno looking, well manned ships, as it might gratify tho am

The prlaoner, whoso name is Edward H. Avery, now on
boatd the stramer, is a yunngman of ahont twenty six years
of age, horn in Fpringfle'd, Meal., of reepeetahle parentage,

ceedingly Jealous. An opportunitv offering for him to be
near her person, and observing this continued oondact on
her part bis mind became excited to sock an extent, ae the
writer i rmly believes, that be became a monomaniac; for,
though his conversation on other enbjcots reemed sensible
enough, yet it wae evident from the agitated manner ia
which he acted aad spoke at times, as well as a nervous
twitching of his whole countenance when he wonld speak,
that his mind if not deranged, was at least certainly over
wrought with excitement.
On the 13th of Kehrnary, at abont 8 o'clock in the even

voice, which proved to be Rupnuna Kusvell, who ran abvnt

bad been hut a few minutes previeus to that, sitting in the
eal in engaged in a lively conversation with one of the pas
sengers, when Avery called her on deck. On approaching
her. he drew from a belt at bis side a large ten luoh bowie
knife, with which he stabbed her in the right breast, sever
ing the ephemeral artery, tha knife passing through ber
be> k. Immediately after committing this dreadful deed, he
snapped a pistol twice at his own hreast. but finding it
would not go off, he drew a rasor from his pocket, with which
be cnt a deep and severe gash in hie throat, then rushing far
ward to where she bad fal en. and whore the passengers
and others began to collect, be cri-d, "stand beck gentle
men I did it; end then falling beside the dead body, hn
bent over it and kiascd the marble cheeks, saying:?"I loved
that girl, but you cabin passengers did this '" Tbia wae the
most heartrending scene the writer ever witnessed. There
laid the poor mangled body of I he unfortunate girl; over her
bent Ler equally unfortunate though guilty lover, uttering
the most lamentable expressions of his fervent attachment
to her, while the blood came streaming from his throat.
Every one expected to see him momentarily expire; he did
not die, howevea, as the surgeon succeeded in sewing up his
wound, and he is now nearly recovered. He had a prelimi
nary examination before the American oensul at Rio Ja
neiro, who ordered him on to San Francisco 'or trial. Since
the sad occurrence he hat become quite peuitent, and awaits
bis trial with considerable fortitude. The poor fellow has
a mother living in Not wich county, upon whom this blow

INTERESTING FROM JAPAN.
Arrival of the American Japan Expe
dition at Loo Choo.
VISIT OF THE RUSSIAN FLEET TO JEDDO.
[From the Sun Francisco Herald, March 29.]
Our readers have been apprised, from time to time,
that the Russians have been rapidly augmenting their
fleet on the coast of China during the past year, evident
ly with the view of keeping a watch upon our Japanese
Expedition in those waters. It was shrewdly suspected
that they intended to interfere in some way with our
efforts to obtain a footing in Japan, or perhaps to steal
a march on us, and get the car of the Kmperor in ad
vance. Through our Fast India files, re.' ived yesterday,
we have late information regarding this m .vement, from
which it appears that the Russian fleet v'si't 1 Japan
several month* after Commodore Perry's Ex; e<i; 'on had
left, aixl were received with gieat pomp by ti.-' . apanese
authorities, and thnt the Admiral -ent up uu in ,ior. >nt
letter to the Emperor at Jeddo. -
From the Java (Hutch) papers of Pec. 27 we h .rn that
the Hutch Fast India Company's ship Hendrika arrived
in the roads of llatavia on the 15th of December, direct
from Japun.
Ou the 20th of Angust there bad arrived in the roads of
Eangaenki?the Jupanese port at which is located the
Dutch factory?(and were still lying there when the Hen
drka li ft for the reads of Papenberg.) a Russian frigate, a
corvette, a screw steamboat, and transport ship, under the
command of the Admiral Poutintine, conveying a letter
frcm the Chancellor of Russia to the Emperor of Japan. On
the 21st of September the Admiral, with a great number of
officers, was received with great poibp ana honors by the
Covernor of Nangaeaki. The letter was then received and
forwardeo to the capital, Jeddo; however, at the departure
of the Hendrika the Rnssians were still waiting for an an
swer. Of the American affairs nothing further was known
than what we have before stated in our journal. Tit.: that
the United Stntes ships of-wnr had arrived in Jane at Jeddo
and were courteously received; having delivered a letter for
the Emperor, they took their departure, promising to re
turn in tbebeglnning of .next year for an answer.
The Hendrika confirms the report heretofore received
by way of China, of the death of the Emperor of Japan.
At the lime ahe left, hia auccessor, the I'nnce Royal, had
not yet been crowned. According to this account of the
Dutch, the Russian fleet had been lying at Nangasaki
from the 20th of August to the 10th of Nov ember?
and was still there when the Hendrika left. This would
fo to show an unusual consideration towards them by
he Japanese authorities, and an intimacy never before
permitted fo foreigners. How much longer they atayed
there and wlut their subsequent proceedings were, we
have no means of ascertaining, hut we next hear of the
fleet at Loo Choo, a dependency of Japan, and in its im
mediate vicinity. The ship Robins, which arrived yes
terday from China, touched at Loo Choo, where the Rus
sians had been at anchor for some time previous, but
from which they bad sailed on the 20th of February, on
a cruise, but to what point was unknown. It was with
out doubt for Japan, to be at Jeddo about the time the
American fleet (which left Hong Kong about the middle
of January) might be expected there to receive the an
answer of the ICmperor. to the letter delivered in June
last.
We may add here in this connection that the British
have their eyes on this fleet of the Russians, and the
very moment war is declared in Europe the news will b8
expressed to China, and tho British cruisers on that Bta
lion will swoop down upon it and make prizes of the
whole expedition before it has the least intimation of
danger.
Since tho above was written we learn from the captain
of the ship Robina that Commodore Perry's fleet, con
sisting of the war steamers Mississippi, Powhatan, and
Susquehanna, the frigate Macedonian, the sloops-of-war
Plymouth, Yandalia. and Saratoga, and the storeships
Supply, Lexington, and Southampton, had arrived at
Loo Choo some time in January from Hong Kong, all
well.
It will be recollected the Commodore purchased on his
first visit to l.oo Choo, a tract of laml for a naval depot,
and for auch other usee as the American government
might desire to put it to. Upon this tract, lying upon
Nuppa Roads, it seems a fort has been erected by the
Americans. Commodore Perry left an officer and twelve
men in charge of this fort and sailed again on the 17th
of January for Jeddo. I.oo Choo is about half-way be
tween Hong Kong and Japan, and Commodore Perry
probably reached his destination about the 26th of
January.
News from Jamaica.?Our advices from Kingston, by
the Illinois, are or the 12th inst. There Is no news. De
Cordova's Intelligencer, of the 10th, says ?
Our import market haa been more than usually inactive
during the past forteigbt; and, although supplies generally
are ample, dealers cannot ho induced to speculate.
Business, therefore, has been for the most part confined to
purchases for Immediate consumption.
The produce market bas also been very languid.
