Several volunteers with who 7i he had adifïïciilty, drew their pistöls, and pointed them full at his breast; three pulled triggers, and strange as fortúnate, the caps on all exploded without discharging the deadly contents with which Ihcir pistols were charged. It is probable the heavy rain of that evening, to which the volunteers were exposed, dampened the powder and thus prevented an explosión. To this fact was he indebted for his life. The ofiending volunteers were prornptly placed under arrest.' ffOlliSaasnïl. - A company of Arab nctors, who liail from the greatdesert of Sahara, have arrived at New Orleans from Yucatán direct.
