Matters at Washington. 



While it is authentically stated that Mil 

 Ward did set out for Fekin, there is edit, after 

 having exchanged ratifications, no official advi 

 received at the State Department. It may 

 mentioned tbat Captain Tatnall, in a letter dated 

 July, says that the invitation of the Goven 

 the Province to Mr. Ward designated the 8th of

ments. As to the reported departure of a party of 

 flllibosters, the only authentic account in the 

 session of the Government, is, that they left 

 tng boat about 10 miles below New Orleans, but 

 which could not convey them to the place of their 

 destination. They doubtless expected to be taken 

 on board a larger and more suitable steamer. In 

 the meantime, the federal officers were, according 



to intercept the fillibusters. 



Lord LyoDS, the British Plenipotentiary, has 

 had a protracted interview with Secretary Cass in 

 regard to tbe departure of the Nicaraguan Expedi- 

 tion. He announced it as the determination o r his 

 Government to protect Nicaragua by force against 

 invasion. This course is recognized by tbe Gov- 

 ernment of the United States, and therefore & 

 telegraphic dispatch was at once sent to the com- 

 mander of the British squadron, directing him to 

 land such a force as may be required for the 

 expulsion of the fillibusters, should they succeed 

 in effecting a landing. 



T. B. Beaumont, formerly of Jamaica Plains, 

 N. Y., now a resident ot Hong Kong, China, in a 

 letter dated July 23d, says, a rumor here, probably 

 a Chinese story, is, tbat the Emperor has sent a

Perilous JEronautic Voyage. 



In the last issue of the Rdbal New-Yobkeh we 

 made brief mention of the balloon ascension of 

 Messrs. La Mountain and John A. Haddock, at 

 Watcrtown, Jeff, Co. ; the fact that they were nine 

 days absent without a word as to their whereabouts, 

 and the receipt of a telegraphic dispatch statiDg 

 they had " landed 800 miles north of Watcrtown 

 in the Canada wilderness." Smce that date Mr. 

 Haduocs has returned to the editorial chair and

 yon," and "happy voyage," were uttered and ma- 

 ny handkerchiefs waved their mule adieu. 



As we rose into the light fleecy clouds, they 

 looked, between us and the earth, like patches of 

 snow we see lying upon tbe landscape in Spring- 

 time ; but when we rose a Hltle higher the clnuds 

 completely shut out the earth, and the cold white 

 masses below us had precisely the same look that 

 a mountainous snow-covered country does, as you 

 look down upon it from a higher mountain. In 

 six minutes we were far abovo all the clouds, and 

 the sun and we were face to face. In eight minutes 

 after leaving the eartb, the thermometer showed 

 a fall of 2± degrees. It btood at 6-1 when we left.

 At 6.50 it was dark, and I could make no more

 watch, and settled down into the basket, as much 

 at home as though at my post in tbe Reformer 

 office. From this point until tbe next morning I 

 can only give my experiences from memory. 



We beard, eooo after datk, a locomotive whistle, 

 and occasionally could hear wagons rumbling 

 aloDg the ground or over a bridge, while tbe dogs 

 kept up an almost ceaseless serenade. We sailed 

 along, contented and chatty, until about half past 

 seven, when we distinctly saw lights and heard 

 the roaring of a mighty waterfall. We descended 

 into a valley near a very high mountain, but as tbe 

 place appealed rather forbidding, we concluded to 

 go up again. Over with SO lbs. of ballast, and 

 skvwurd we sailed. Iu about 20 minutes we again 

 descended, hut this time no friendly light or "deep 

 mouthed watch dog's heavy bay " greeted us. Wo 

 were over a dense wilderness, and settled down 

 over a small lake. We had our life preservers 

 ready for use, but got up again by throwing over 

 all our ballast except about 18 pounds. Mr. LaM. 

 now said it was fully and madness to stay up any 

 longer, that wo were over a great wilderness, and 

 the sooner we descended the better. We conclud- 

 ed to settle down by the side of a tree, tie up, and 



the earth, and as we fell I grasped the extreme top 

 of a high spruce, which stopped our descent, and 

 wo were soon fastened to it by the largo drag rope. 

 The touch of that spruce sent a thrill of discomfort 

 to my heart, for I knew that its kind did not grow

Mr. LaMountain said, after he looked around, 

 and made as much ol an examination of the i 

 ry as we could do for the darkness and rain, (for it 

 had rained the past hour) that the "Atlantic 

 played out— we were far into the woods, and il 

 got out alive we ought to be thankful." We rolled 

 ourselves op in our blankets, and patiently waited 

 until morning. The rain dripped down upi 

 in rivulets from the great balloon, and it wa 

 long before we were wet as men could be. After 

 a night passed in great discomfort we were g 

 see the first faint rays of daylight. Cold, wet and 

 rainy, the morning broke, the typical preci 

 we were to learn, of many other morniugs 

 spent in those uninhabited wilds. The rai:

 gone too far, through n miscalculation of the ' 

 locity of tbe balloon. As the current was drivi 

 us still lo the north, we dare not stay up, as 

 were drifting farther and still further to tl 

 "frozen tide" from which we knew there could 

 no escape. Mr. La Mountain seized tbe val< 

 cord and discharged gas, and we descended 

 safety by the side of a tall spruce. We made t 

 Atlantic fast by her anchor, and for a moms 

 talked over what we should do. We had nol 

 mouthful to eat. No protection at night from the 

 damp ground, were distant we knew not how fai 

 from any habitation, were hungry to start with 

 no earthly hope of raising a fire, and no distinc 

 idea as to where we were. Wo concluded to trua 

 to the compass, and took a course which would

 and knew that a course south by east would take 

 us out, if we had strength enough to travel thi 

 distance. 



To tbe southeast, then, we started. After trav 

 eling about a mile and a half we came to the banl 

 of a small creek, flowing down from the westward 

 At this point we were agreeably surprised to find 

 that some human being had been there before 

 —for we found several small trees cut down, the 

 coals from an old fire, and a half barrel which 

 had contained pork. I eagerly examined the stamp.

 This settled the question that we were in Cana 

 da— for I very well knew that no Montreal inspec 

 tion of pork ever found its way into tbe interior ol 

 New York State. We traveled all day Friday up 

 tbe unknown creek — crossing it about noon od 

 floating log— and striking on its southern bank 

 blazed " track, which led us up to a deserted ti 

 ber road, lying on the opposite side from a large 

 lumbering shanty. 



For four dayB our adventurers were rafting down 

 rivera or journeying across the country, with noth- 

 ing to eat but a frog apiece and four fresh water 

 clams. While poling the raft they hod construct- 

 ed upon one of the lakes, seemingly so numerous 

 in tbat vicinity, they heard the report of a gun, 

 quickly followed by a second report. Mr. Haddock 

 remarks :— " No sound was ever so sweet to me as 

 that. We halloed as loud as we could a good ma- 

 ny times, but could get no response. We kept our 

 poles going, and had gone about half a mile when 

 I called La Mountain's attention to what I thought 

 .smoko curling up among the trees on the 

 side of tbe hill. My own eyesight had begun to 

 I me to an extent that I could not depend upon 

 when a long, steady gaze was necessary. He

 on the bank, was a bark canoe. In a few mo-

FOREIGN NEWS. 



Great Britain.— The American occupation of 

 the island of San Juan attracts considerabli 

 tion in the journals. The Times editorially states 

 the facts of the case and says, fortunately the af- 

 fair is in good hands, and we trust there can be no 



. tie < 



of th,. 



rill t 



moderation and eq-lity. The article concludes 

 follows :— " It is not a question ofconvenience, 

 of justice. The decision should depend on the 

 terpreted terms of the treaty, and it was evidently 

 not doubted by either government, a short timt 

 ago, that this interpretation could be discovered 

 If, however, it should prove that the existing con 

 vention cannot be so applied as to satisfy the coo 

 trading parties, there can surely be no reason whj 

 two States, which have now adjusted their respec 



lantic to tbe Pacific, should not complete the wori 

 in the narrow waters of Vancouver's Island- 

 Americans may assure themselves that in such ne 

 gotiations they will meet with no conditions bul 

 those of fairness and amity on the part of this 

 country. It would be hard, indeed, if children of 

 tbe same stock, who can feel the sympathies of 

 blood and lineage as they were felt and expressed 

 in tbe waters of Peiho, should find much difficulty 

 in adjusting a petty boundary question on tbe 

 coast of the Pacific." 



The London Post also again refers to the subject, 

 aud says if the importance of San Juan is to be 



sion by England is absolutely necessary to the se- 

 curity of British Columbia. It thinks the govern- 

 ment at Washington cau have nothing to gain by 

 the adoption of the violent and unjustifiable pro- 

 ceedings of Harney. 



The screw steamer Fox, Capt. McClinlock, sent 

 by Lady Franklin to the Arctic regions in search of 

 the traces of Sir John Franklin's expedition, hos 

 returned to England, having been completely suc- 

 cessful. At Point William, on the nortb-west coast 

 of King William's Island, a record was found dated 

 April 25th, ISIS, signed by Capt. Oozier and Fitz- 

 james. The recur ■.! .-uj? tin..' Eiebus and Terror 

 were abandoned three days previously in tbe ice 

 five leagues to the N. W-, and that the survivors, 

 in all amounting to 105, were proceeding to Great 

 Fish river. Sir John Franklin had died June lltb, 

 1S47, and the total deaths to dale, had been nine 

 officers and fifteen mtn. Many deeply interesting 

 relicsof the Expedition were found on the western 

 shore of King William's Island, and others were 

 obtained from the Esquimaux, who stated that af- 

 ter their abandonment, eno ship was crushed in 

 the ice and sunk, and the other forced on shore, 

 where she remained. Mr. Fox was unable lo pen- 

 etrate beyond Bellot straits, and wintered in Brent- 

 ford Bay. Minute and interesting details of the 

 expedition are published. Several skeletons of 

 Franklin's men, large quantities of clothing, Ac, 

 duplicate record, up to the abandonment of 

 the ships, were discovered. 



t crew of the Great Eastern had been arrest- 

 ed and tried at Weymouth, for mutinous conduct, 

 n refusing to wash the decks when ordered. The 

 wo ringleaders were sentenced for three months 

 mprisonment respectively, at hard labor, and the 

 emainder for a fortnight. Tbe evidence showed 

 hat the ship's crew were far from complete. The 

 English journals strongly denounce the incomplete 



urried mauner in which the ship was sent to 



oyage will be postponed until November.— 

 This, however, is i.uttiorilativi'lv contradicted, and 

 still advertised to leave Holyhead for Port- 

 land, on the 20th of October. 

 The London Morning Herald gh 



telegram says a courier 

 from Vienna bad reached Zurich with instruc- 

 tions to draw up a treaty of peace, and doc- 

 uments for the eession of Lombardy and Sar- 

 dinia. No allusion is made to the Duchies. I| i 9 

 hoped that a treaty will be signed in a few days.

Upwards of a thousand marines, strong detach- 

 ments of the rifle light infantry regiments, 4c, 

 were to leave England for China, by the overland 

 route. The first of the squadron, in service against 

 China, had already sailed. The government intends 

 to dispatch fifty gun boats, sloops, frigates and 

 other vessels. An order for 2,000,000 catridges 

 packed in 200 boxes, had been executed at Wool- 

 wich, in one day, including the stowing on ship- 

 board. These go to China, overland, and a second 

 order to a much greater extent was progressing

 tbe report of the day was, that the question of tbe 

 Duchies hod been arranged, and that Tuscany is

 second son, and Parma and Modena by Maximilian. 

 Another report says the Count de Flanders is to 

 have the three Italian Duchies and the Arch Duke 



These reports must be taken for what they are 

 worth. 



Another Paris rumor was to the effect that there 

 was to be no Chinese expedition at the head of the 

 Peiho. The Mandorin has proffered an atonement, 

 coupled with the promises of all the satisfaction 

 required, and that the Ambassadors will be re- 

 ceived at Pekin. 



The Paris correspondent of the London Herald, 

 regards the scheme for placing a Belgian Prince 

 on the throne as a ridiculous canard. 



The Times Paris correspondent again draws at- 

 tention to the great activity in the French dock 

 yards, and states that he has been assured that 

 there are now building, or under orders to be built, 

 twenty ships of the line— ten of the very largest 

 size, but all strictly fighting ships, steel-plated and, 

 provided with iron peaks or prows. 



Numerous exiles had arrived at Marseilles. 



The Paris correspondent of the London Specta- 

 tor, who has, on several occasions, communicated 

 early and authentic news, asserts tbat Napoleon 

 accepts the plan of the King of Belgium, which is 

 to give the fortress of Peschiera and Mantua, and 

 tbe States of Parma and Modena to Sardinia, to re- 

 instate tie bouse of Loraiue in Tuscany, and restore
