in the carriage, were precipitated down the Roll-

which were instantly dashed to pieces, but it was
soon stopt by a number of potash barrels, and so
forcible was the shock that both ofthe men were
thrown violently from their situations. One of

A Murder-, “
Baker, in the vicinity of Liberty tow.nlj‘:_.i_p
county. The circumstances, as confessed by
ker being engaged in the st-able,_.in milking. an
unruly cow, from which the calf had lately been
taken, was followed by the two ncgroes, one of
whom went behind her and pulled her on her
back, while the other plunged a pitclifork into her
bowels. Mrs‘. Baker was fiir advanced in preg-
nancy, and it is conjectured must have expired
immediately, as the blow does not appear to have
been repeated, there being no other wound ex-
cept that made by the two prongs of the fork.- In
order to conceal the foul deed, they sinearcdtlie
horns ofthe cow with blood when they lut'ne_d her
loose, and gave the alarm that the cow had killed
the mistress. Mr. Baker had gone to Baltimore,
and there was no white person on the premises,
but some small children, an elderly lady, the
mother of Mr. Baker. The neighbors soon as-
sembled--an inquest was held on the body, when.
from the vicious character of the cow, and the
blood being found on her horns, the jury were
satisfied she must have caused’ the death of Mrs.
Baker. ,
After the funeral, doubts were suggested b
some person as to the correctness of the verdict
of the jtiriy. Those doubts were mentioned to 3
or 4 of the neighbors, who returned to the house,
and entered upon ah examination of the blacks.
During this examination, which lasted "several
hours, they persisted in asserting their innocence.
But a guilty conscience would not permit them
to rest, and the following morning they made a
voluntary confession of the whole transaction to
the old lady. The necessary_measur'es were then
taken to secure them, and they are now safely
lodged in jail, with the father and mother, and
another black man, on wltom rests suspicions of
having instigated the murder. The boy is about
17 years of age, the girl a year or two older. and
though young in years, they are far advanced in.
iniquity. Mr. Baker is represented as a humane
good master, and no particular reason is assigned
which induced the commission of this bloody
deed.
LYNCKBURG, Va. Sept. l.
D¢‘3/1970-'9 537715111.--'l’he following event occur-
red about ten days since. in the county of Henry.
.‘«lr. Nicholas H-airston, in riding over his plan-
tation, passed through a body of woods. Having
a pair of bars to pull down, he dismounted for the
purpose, when . he perceived at a short distance
from him a negro man, partly concealed by the
slirubbery. Conceiving him to be a runaway, he
asked him what he was doing there, and to whom
he belonged. The slave said he belonged to Mr.
Nicholas Hairston ; Mr. Hairston told him he
lied, for that lie was Nicholas Hait'ston—-the ne-
gro‘ rejoined, saying that he was a damn’d liar,
for he did belong to him. Upon this, Mr. Hair-
ston advanced towards him, as well with the pur-
pose of chastising his insolence, as of apprehend-
ing him as a runaway. He was promptly met by
the negro, who closed in with him, and by dint of
superior strength, hurled him to the ground.—‘-
Having so far triumphed, he proceeded to com-
plete his victory, by butting Mr. Hairston in the
breast, and clicking him. Mr. Hairston begged
for mercy, promising eternally to conceal what
had happened, to resign his purse, if that was his
object in wishing to kill him. Nothing, however,
could soften the breast of this savage. He pro-
ceeded, obviously with the intention of killing, to
beat his prostrate foe, and Mr.’ l-Iatirston swooned
under the severity of his stificriiig. \Vlien be
revived. he found that he had, unkiiown to him-
self, iiistinctively taken his knife from his pocket.
He instantly aimed a blow at the face of the ne-
gro, which he received near his eye_—-he seemed,
however, totally regardless of it. Mr. H. thcn
aimed a second lounge at his side, which produ-
ced a more sensible effect. The negro ceased for
a moment, observed, ‘you damn’d rascal you have
got a knife.’ Mr. Hairston seizetl the moment
to renew liisentreatics for mercy, offering to send
for a physician to heal his wound, and to forgive
every thing; the barbarian was, however, inexo-
rable, and Mr. Hairstoii perceiving it to be a mat-
ter of life and death, repeated his stabs with such
good effect, that in a short time, the unfortunate
wretch exhausted by the loss of blood, quitted his
grasp, and tumbled off in the last itgonies of disso-
lution, observing to Mr. H. ‘ you damn’d rascal,
you have kllled me.’ With great difliculty, Mr.
Hairston reached home, where his life for some
time was nearly despaircd of. He is represented,
however, as convalescent. The persons sent to
look after the negro, found him dead.

An imposter was taken up at Plattsburgh, and
imprisoned on the t9th of July. He was solicit-
ing aims for some inhabitants of Genoa, whom
he represented had suffered by shipwreck on the
Barbary coast, and were held as prisoners. A-
mong the documents nhich he had in his pos-
session was a letter from the late Mayor of Phil-
adelphia.
Plattsburg wrote to Philadelphia to ascertain the
‘truth of this document, and they have received
an answer. The description given in the May-
or’s lettericlentifies the fellow who passed under
the name of John Capello—-his real name is Me-
reti-—-has a house and establishment in Philadel-
phia worth $10,000, and has followed begging
under various pretences for years. There isa
society of these imposters in the U. States, who
make a regular business ofbegging. Magistrates
would do well to seize all personsof this descrip-
tion and imprison them, until their true charac-
ter is known.--JV‘. Y. dtlvertiser.

‘Although I-’ort-an-Prince is watered by a num-
ber of small streams, some of which tun through
the middle of the streets, no water was to be had,
all the wells having been stopped about two hours
before the fire broke out. The soldiery, instead
of keeping order and assisting to save the endan-
gered property, cmploved themselves in nudis-
criminate pltmder; and when President Boyer
arrived fromthe country, he immediately with-
drew the troops. and established order, by leaving
the city to its fate.
‘ That the fire was the work of incendiaries,
there caimot be a doubt ; for, since that dreadful
day, several attempts have been made to fire the
town. 'l'he day before the confiugration there
was an attempt made to set fire to the arsenal,
where several millions ofpotitids of gunpowder,
and immense quantities of projectiles are stored ;
and had it not been prevented by a fortunate ac-
cident, the whole city would probably have been
blown up. A

of this loss will fall to the share of foreign incr-

sively engaged in the trade of this coiintry, must
suft"e_r dreadftilly.
‘ As fair-as we can judge, the whole originated
in a plot of the black people against those ofcolor,
and we are still apprehensive that all is not over.-

mined to sell their lives dearly, should any at-

Fireat M'uZ1z'[e.::-'-A tremendous fire was experi-
enced at Mobile on the evening of the l lth tilt.
It originated in a cotton gin house in the very
centre of the city, no doubt by design; and be-
fore the fire could be got under, thirty houses (all
stores) were destroyed, and most of their con-
tents.

United States and !*'rance.—L2ttcrs from -l-lavre
of the 8th of July, mention that the French gov-

taliatioti to one hundred francs per ton on every

American Ambassador, the duty was postponed

says-——‘ The language is conciliatory, and the sen-
unients lil)et‘al ; and it exhibits the utmost confi-
dence in the complete establishment and .-.Iabiii.y

held in rcgattl to the diflirziilties bciueen the Uni-
ted States and Spain, we perceive the wisdom of
the course which has been pursued by the Presi-
dentin regard to the Flotid-.t.~.. The Cortes say,
they “ see with no less satisfaction than your Ma-
jesty, the perfect harmony between your Majes-
ty’s government and foreign powers, and they
will aid, if this should be necessary, in drawing
closer such friendly relations. They have only
to regret that some differences exist between the
United States of America and his most Faithful
Majesty : But the principles ofjusticc and mod-
eration which will now regulate our diplomatic
negotiations, give hope to the Cortes that they
may be concluded on terms, which, the issue be-
ing reputable for the nation, shall not interrupt
the pacific system agreed upon between the na-
tions of Europe, the maintenance of which sys-
tent the Cortes will contribute very particularly
in ‘concert with your Majesty."
The terms ‘but the principles of justice. and
moderation which WILL now regulate,’ &c. imply
a full knowledge and confession on the part" of the

it an earnest of better faith hereafter.’
