(184J ) The person who has secured ibis treasure (Mr J. El dred) has been absent, on the bousiness since early in June. He succeeded in ie moving it from its diluvial bed on the banks of the river, hy a car and sectional rail road of two links, farmed of timber. The motive power was tackle atiached to trees, which was worked by mte.., from 14 to 20 of whom were employed upon. it. These rails were alternately moved forward, as the cars passed from the hind- t mHost. - I have no books at hand to refer to the I precise time, so far as known, when this noted mass of copper first became known to Europeans. Prubabily a hundred and eighty years have elapsed. Marquette, and his devoted companion, passed up I the shores of Lake Superior about 166.

The officers of the ofthe banik were immediately iuformod of these facts, who advised that the bill should lie presented by Mr. Atwell, which he accordingly did. The Cashier upon obtaining the bill called at once upon the individual who offered the hill for' ex change and who was waiting the result at HEarndeu's office, and took him to the Po lice office and had him- examined. He stated that he had received tbe'note' from a negro who lives at a gambling establish ment adjoining Express Buildings.

In our paper of Saturday last we made mention of a difference which had occur rnd between the representatives of the English Government and the Government of Mexico. By our present advices the intelligence is fully confirmed, and the cause of the mismderstandine is unfolded at length in let ters from our correspondents. At present tho an'air looks as if Santa An na would soon have the English thunder ing about his ears. The circumstances appear to be as follows. On the I Ith lt, a festival day(-it he in.. the anniversary of the victory gained tby Santa Anna over the' Spaniards at 'lrtmnpiro, a ball was given at the palace in the city of Mexico, and all the Foreign Mitisters irvited. The ball-room was superbly ornamented, and among other decorations were the trophies won by Mexi co from the Spaniards and Texians. These flage were suspended at one end of the room. Upon the entrance of Mr. Doyle. the Chargo d'Affaires, he inquired the measninig of themi, and being answered that thsey were tpophies. he very nsaturlly evns led to a efoser examitration of them. Utton inspection he found that the '-Esn gustt Jack" was ittuck ny. among the flags takesn from the TIexiatt. He stnmediate ly addressedl himself tot Mr. Boesdnegra, ste Minister of Foreign Affairs, who was p7C~reset, andt~ asked an~ explanation of the occurrentce. The Minister replied that Ithe "Jack" was takcen fromr the Texaiss, andi on that account alone had been placed among the trophsies, and with no view of givintg sfl'ence to the British Govern mietnt. Mr. Doyle expressed himnself sat infeud with the explfanatiosn, but -added that hse mntst requsest thamt the flag -shoumld hetakens down, saying that as st w'as not his wishs that the affair should attract pub ic attention, he was willing .that it should he done while the compjany were at sup pier, when no one wvould be preset in thme bsall rom. Bocanegra consulted San ta Ana ont the stibject, anud assured. Mr. Doyle that it should he taken 'dowsn the ne-xt .day. Mr. 'Doyle was. oot satisfled withs this promtise-, ansd Sssnta' An'na' not feeling disposed tom accede to Mr. Dogle's demattd, this gentleman retired .f-rm tes ball, followed by all the 'British subjects Ipresent. The next day Mrr Doyle ad dressed a note to the Govertnmest de mantding that the flag shouljd be taken down. and as a satisfaction 'for the insult, sould be hoisted' in the publiC square anid inuted with twensmy-one guns. To -this'io satisfatctcrry repl~y was Riven, and i notes -were 'exchanged' umdtil the 27th. -which is another national fete, and ste -Saluntsdo-Reception being opens that dnsy, Mr.-'Doyle was itsformned that the "Jack" Sstill remaitned inthe-same place; upon t wbich he. imnediatelys sent the British I Cotnsul- General wit ls' two mnerchatt ge -wiinesses, to'see if it wasuactually the -ease. -Finding. it: sohe so, he addressed i s note to the Gosvernmaent, saying thtihisi - diplomat ic relations with-the.- Government a of Mexico'censed from that-moment untij further orders from his Government. . A circular was also passed to'-all British merchants. advising them that be; lia found himself under the hecessity of sus pending all diplomatic intercourse with'ihe Mexican Government until he "conld coin municate with his Government.'- To tilis note it appears that the Mexican Govern ment has replied in a very insulting com iunication. Such is the state of the case. Mtr. Doyle's despatches have gone to En gland in the steamer which sailed . on the 1st. inst.; and he had also despatched a man:D of-war. which .hagened ,to be ~t Vera Cruz to Bermuda-and Jamaica. with despatches for the Ad,mira!.:. thus rests the affair, and the citizens of.Vera Cruz are apprehensive that the first. news tbey will have will he the arrival of an English; fleet. This of course gives great. satisfac tion to all enemies of the power of the Die tator, and to foreigners. who are in hopes that he will now be brought to his senses. 1MPORTANTyROM1 TEXAS Texan Treachery. and BritiskhSche-r4 ing.-By the arrival ohibe schooner Gal veston yesterday, from Galveston,.we are - placed in possession of the following letter from our old correspondent in that, city.
