case of refusal but the iafOFuatiOn was un- fortunately disregarded, aRd no preparations were made far resistance. At the hrst attacK, the TapOOiers were unsuccessful, and they lost their chief-aOd on the same occasl0n' son of the President was killed. The war fare lasted eight days, at the end Of which the president abandoned the city with his tOrces' and took refuge on board the shipping.

 The houses of foreigners were the hrst 10 be seized upon, and as much wealth had been deposited in them for protection, the works of pillage must be immense. The Ame:icao cOnsurs house was broken into, and the in- surgents were seen from the shipping firing from its windows upon corps of English marines, who were stationed in the house of Mr. Campbell, by order of the commander of the British sloOp of war, Race Horse. The American flag was torn to pieces and thrown into the street. t1>

 The whole population of Para is about S5'- 900, of whom one half are whites. About one half of these found protection on board the shipping, and of the rest it is probable all the males were killed. The English Consul did not even save his books and papers, and MT. Upton, of Salem, saved nothing. being l obliged to jump out of his counting house window, and rushed to the shore without h's hat. Probably one half of the families who reached the shipping, left all their property behind them.

 The officers of the government troops were picked oG by sharp shooters. who hid them 1 selves hehind walls, &c. for that purpose. The Indian force in all was about three hundred. and the President had between two and three hundred regular troops. besides l several pieces of artillery, and about four hundred volunteers. The conduct of the lat fer must have. been most cOwardly, contempt ible, and pusillanimous.

 It would seem singular that SO few as three hundred men could take by storm city with SO many inhabitants. hut it must be borne in mind that very strong party existed among the population ofth city, which was friendly to the insurgent cause, and when the contest became favorable to their own wishes. they were very ready to joia with the invading party.-N.
