The MEXICAN INDEMNITY.-We were
4 yesterday shown letter from Washing
lion City, dated the 9Th instant, which


states that it was rumored there that
Ithe vessel on which, the last instalment
l-of the Mexican indemnity was shipped,
has been LOST. at sea We are sorry to
say that there is too much reason to fear
| that this rumor is true. The u. s. ship
of war Vincennes, Capt. Bachanan, left
Vera Cruz. on the 29th day of August, at
which time the conducta had already arr


rived from The city Of Mexico. The mo-
ney was to have been shipped ia 8 or a
days after the Vincennes left, and il is
quite probable that the vessel on board
of which il was placed, sailed by the 5lh
.of September.


Upto the 9th inst. this vessel had not
reached its destination, New York, and
memory serves, she has not been
spoken. It's quite probable, therefore,
thBt the rumor prevalent al Washing-
ton may turn out to be a very nlelanS.
choly fact. If it be true, it will afford a
very beaatifll specimen of the blunder-
ing stupidity Of Mr.. John c. Spencer,
John Tyler's notable Secretary fthe
Treasury. Capt Buchanan, ofthe Vim
cennes, offered to bring the money over
free Of cost, but bis did not suit Mr.
Spencer he gave the contract for trans
porting it to a commercial house ia Vera
Cruz, and it was accordingly shipped on
board Of a merchantmen, instead of
United States ship Of war, as It might
and should have been. Had II been
placed OH The Vincennes it would have
been, before thispin the hands of the
righttuI owners, the American claimants,
but now no one knows where tia, and
Lost, another delay of weeks and mohths
must intervene before the claimants ob.
tain heir own Many and magnificent
are the beauties Of the Tyler sdninislra-
