iiviis at the time of writing it, in his Sfitlil

year. His long and useful life, a year or
two since came to a close. lie was a na-
tive of Connecticut and the first iiiissiona-
ry on the \Vestern Reserve.

In order to destroy the public stores at
Danbury the british in the fore part of May
1770, landed about 800 men with two field
pieces at a place called Compo, (now
Westport 3) and being aided by a Tory

arty they were directed along an unfre-
quented route and mostly through

about 15 miles to Danbury without alarm-,
ing the peoplef but now it went like an‘

electrical shock to every quarter.

Although many of our young men were;

in the army,‘ there soon collected a for-
midable company of ycomanry. The en-
emy having effected their design in part,
in having destroyed about one thousand
barrels of pork and after setting the vil-
lage on fire, began their retreat on alarge
road leading to White Plains.
were entering: the village of Ridgefield,
Gen. Vllooster with a partyof Yankee far-
mers, directly from the plough, fell upon
thx it rear with alarining effect. They left,
it was said, almost 30 on the ground. I
saw a man stripping some of the dead next
morning as they lay on the road. Gen.
Vlfooster received a mortal wound.

They began new to feel themselves in
some danger, and took the most direct
course to reach their shipping. However
night came on and they were obliged to
encamp about trn miles from their place
of landing. The party I was in, cominan-
ded by Lieut. Hill, an officer of the army,
attacked their rear guard just as they be-
gan to descend a very stony road into a
valley at \Vilton meeting house, from
which there were roads in several direc-
tions. There was a wall fence oi1 each
side o‘f the road, which made them over-
shoot our men \Ve then in-arched for-
ward vvithin eighty rods of them and open-
ed our fire. They stood about three
rounds and ran down the hill. Vile had
five men wounded, one of them mortally.
Here the firing ceased for a few minutes,
and we stood to see vvliat course they
would take from the church. They en-
tered by a solid column into a road lead-
,ing up a pretty steep ascent well fenced
with wall and bushes on both sides. In
about thirty or forty rods there was a right
angle completely covered with the fence
and bushes. Here Gen. Arnold
small regular force with a six pound piece
had taken a stand. As soon as the enemy
had well entered the road Arnold gave
them a shot that spoke loudly. They
were prodigiously startled, and shifted
tlaoir c ourul: with a quick step into a road
leading to Compo Bridge: but Arnold got
the bridge and obliged them to ford the
stream at some disadvantage. Then the
contest became more severe an.l th eir sit-
uation more perilous :—but about the set-
ting of the sun they landed from their
shippi ng two or three hundred fresh troops_
which under the advantage of the night
enabled them to embark, having suffered
the loss of about 40 men.

Some things amusing happen in peril-
ous circumstances. A little before the
party overtook their rear in passing by a
farm house, a stout looking fellow sat his
gun leaning on a pig house, and jumped in
to catch some fowls. There were two
stout, resolute Yankee girls, looking out
of a window, who saw the fellow jump in,
and his gun standing on the outside.
They sprang out, secured the gun and told
him positively, that if he attempted to
leave the pen they would kill him on the
spot. They kept him there until some of
our party relieved them, and took the fel-
low into our custody and marched him
the other way.

"The road was strewed in several places
with articles of plunder which they were
obliged to throw away. It seemed to be
an object with the enemy to destroy all
they could, even where they had no time
to burn. Furniture, for instance, was as
much broken and injured as their hasty
retreat would admit of. After this severe
check thev quit landing parties’ for plunder
in Connecticut.

Correspondence of the Tribune.
VERA Cauz, April 2d, 1847.

All is quiet here. Gen. VVorth, in ad-
dition to his commercial rules and regu-
lations, has overhauled the police depzirt-
ment of Vera Cruz, and everything goes
on like clock Work. Idoubt whether this
city, from the days of the early viceroys
down. has ever had as good a code of
laws or as good a Governor.

The British mail steamer Tay came in
sight yesterday, and after backing and fil-
ling about for an hour or two, not exactly
understanding the appearance of things
about the place, finally came in, Tlje
captain was doubtless astonished to see
the “stars and stripes” flying from the old
castle of San Juan de Uloa. I‘his morning
she started for Tampico.

A detachment composed in part of Col.
Harney’s 2d Dragoons, marched this morn.

ing to take possession of Antigua, an old'

place some eight miles north oflthis. Gen.
Scott will not march with the main corn-
mand for Puente Nacional for some days
to come not having sufficient transporta-
tion to warrant an immediate movement;
but he will, or rather has, taken possession
of the roads both right and left in order
to obtain supples of all kinds from the
country of the enemy.

Nothing has as yet been heard of the
expedition to Alvarado, or at least nothing
positive. There is a report that Gen.
Quitman met with some resistance on the
road, but not the least credit is given to
the story. Yours, &c. &c.

Ircfrmrl.-—Tl1e accounts from Ireland
represent the importation of bread-stuffs
to be enormously great; every warehouse
in the principal ports is said to be filled
with provisions of different kinds. And
yet there are sad accounts of_typl1us fever
and death in different parts of the coun-
try. Many of the wealthy classes too,
whose duties or benevolence have brought
them in contact with the poor and star-
ving, are reported to be suffering from the

estilential disease.

The tide of emigration is setting stronoly
towards America. ' It is said that the nuDm-
ber this spring will be at least quadruple
than that of-any previous season. No less
than seven vessels were at Cork taking
in emigrants for the United States. They
will bring an average of nearly 100 pas-
sengers each.

14"ra7zce.-—There has been a decided fall
in the corn market. Flour
francs per sack ; and sellers were more
numerous than buyers in the market. It
was believed tliat the Cabinet was about
to propose, in the Chamber of Deputies, a
project of a law for the continuance of free
trade in corn and provisions until July,

1848. At Dunkirk, 39 vessels loaded with

March. The receipts ofwheat at Havre
for four days preceding ll-’Iarch 30, were
E(say 140,000 bushels); and of flour, the

greatest part of which was from Southern
- Russia and Turkey.

In. consequence of the act lately adopt-
,ed_ in the Chambers, preparations were
,being made to fit out the government
‘steamers for transatlantic navigation, and

it is expected that the first will sail from
Havre fo_r,New York on the 1st May.

Tliedistress for want of food was still
[great in. the country. Carts and boats
,Iaded with corn were guarded by soldiers
',to prevent pillage.

Paris had devoted millions of francs, (and
