On the 21st October, a serious difficulty broke out at Chagres, between
the American and native boatmen, and a battle ensued, which resulted
in the death of two Americans, and as many natives. After two days'
disturbance, the affair was adjusted, and order restored.
In Mexico, for the present, the insurrection of Caravajal has failed,
and the siege of Matamoras has been abandoned. In New Grenada the
Jesuit revolt under Borrero has been put down and Borrero captured.
From Buenos Ayres we learn that General Oribe has been overthrown, and
that Rosas is in the utmost danger, but the results of recent important
events there are not yet well understood.
Little has occurred in Great Britain, of much importance, except the
demonstrations occasioned by the arrival of Kossuth, at Southampton,
on the 23d of October. The Hungarian chief has been received with
unparalleled enthusiasm in Southampton, London, Manchester, and
elsewhere, and in many long and powerful speeches has vindicated his
great reputation for wisdom and for honest devotion to the liberties
of his country. He was to leave England in the steamer Washington, for
New-York, on the 14th November, and will probably have arrived here
before this paragraph is published. In the United States a triumph even
more enthusiastic than that in England awaits him. The Caffre war in
South Africa is still extending, and the British forces have obtained,
in no case, decided or important advantages.
