.drri"unZ of Ike C_z/ajze.-—Tlle U. S. ship Cyane,
Capt '.l‘t'enchard, arrived off the Hook on Sunday.
":1:--'
night, from Sierra Leone, whence she sailed 27th
t)ct_ The ol'f‘lcel's "and crew are all well. The
Colony was in a bad condition, being nearly ‘des-
titute of provisions and other necessaries. The
particulars are forwarded to government by this
vessel. About the 17th of Oct. the Cystic spoke
the U. S. ship John Adams, in co. with the Brit-
ish gun brig Snapper, bound on a cruize oil‘ Rio
Pongus.
The Cyane came up to town yesterday. Some
of the ollicers inform that the settlers who went
out in the ship Elizabetll, have not succeeded ei-
ther in obtaining any lands, or even any encour-
agement that they shall obtain them at any future
day. The nmivts had got possession of the goods
sent by the colonization society to purcl-lase lands,
and the agents after that could ilot obtain tlle
least satisfaction. Tlley were told at one time,
that a general talk should take place among the
chiefs of the tribes and head men who had author-
ity to dispose oftlle land for a settlement, and at
other times they could do nothing. l:‘.v_ery aru-
fice was practised to dupe the agents, and it seems
not without success. About 30 adventurers, all
of ‘hem P60,-,lc of color, and also 6 W‘l\l.l6 men and
a boy,perishcd in.May and .Iune,and ii_ls supposed
the remainder have lemovctl to a British settle-
ment, called Cape Shilling, offered them by the
government of Sierra Leone. Left Daniel Co-
‘ her, the acting agent, on board a schooner there,
waiting for goods from this government, to ena-
ble him to renew the negocialion for land.
The following is a list of deaths which ha_ve ta-
ken place on board the Cyane, since she lelt this
‘port in January last :—-Mr. M. Read, of Brook-
lyn, dlowlled; John Bird, of New-Hampshire;
Alexander Scott ; John Lightazard ; Simeon
Cough, of Rhode Island ; John A. Jones, of Stanl-
ford, Conn. and Daniel Spring, of llostoll. About
the 1st.i\'ov. spoke the British sloop I’lle:isatlt,
‘ bound to Sierra Leone, with 50 slaves \Vlllt‘.ll they
had captured from a slave schr. that they had cha-
sed into Occrao. About the lsl Uct.tllc British
gun brig Snapper discovered a slave vessel in the
Rio Pungas, anti after boardinrr her, and while ex-
amining her papers, the natives froln the shore
attacked the boat’s crew, and killcd one nlidsllip-
man and six men. A part of the crew escaped
overlalld to Sierra Leone, and some fell illto the
hands of the blacks. A sloop of war and a gun
brig, with a (letacllmellt of black troops, was then
fitted otit, which went against the llulives of Rio
Pungas, drove them into the interior of the coun-
try, re-captured two or tllrec of the boat's crew
belonging to the Snapper, and burnt the town.-
Spoke on the coast the l.'il‘lll‘$ll blig Sicilian, and
barque Peirsens, botll from Liverpool, bound to
Sierra Leone. On boa.--d the Sicilian, were‘sev-
eral olflcers and plisscilgr.-rs sick, one of wlloin had
died ashort time before the Cyane spoke her.

The Cyane is from a cruize on the west coast
of Africa, last from Sierra Leone, and the island
of Sherbru.
At the time of sailing, the free black Colonists
who had survived the sickness, were all well at

Re-ztoluiionary incident.9.—It is pleasant to look
back on the days that are past, circumstallces of
which are frequently brought to our recollection
by accident. The presence ofthe venerable Com.
Tucker in this city has procured usthe perusal of
the letter of which we llave been obliged by the
following copy :
Qutxcv, Jan. 18,1815.
Sir--Samuel TllCl{el‘,‘E5(j. a member of our
Massachllsetts Legislature, has a petition to gov-
ernment for justice or customary favor to merito-
Iious officers, which will be explaiilod befole the‘
proper ‘judges. Icannot refuse his request to
certify what I know of his character alld history.
1VIy acquaiutatlce with him commenced early in
the year X776, when he was first appointed to a
colnmantl/in the navy, ill which he served, with
reputation and without reproach, to the end of the
war in i783.
His biography would make a conspicuous fig-
ure,"cven at this day, in the naval annals of the U.
States. I can be particular only in one instance.
In ‘.778, he was ordered to France in the Boston
frigate. He sailed in February, and soon fell in
with three British frigates sent from Rhode Isl-
and expressly to intercept him. Fighting with
one against three was out of the question. In a
chase of three days, be bullied all the inventions,
and tlelkatt-d all the manoeuvres ofthe enemy, and
was SOp‘.ll't'.lC‘(l from him at last, ill the Gulph
strealll, by a furious hurricane, which for three
days more threatened hint with immediate de-
struction. Nor was this his last danger from
seas or from enemies. He had two other storms
and two other detachments of British mcn ofwar
to encounter; one in the Britisll channel and the
other in the Bay of Biscay. He arrivetl at Bor-
deaux in April.
Nothing but vigilance, patience, and perseve-
rance, added to consuninl.-.te nalltical skill, could
have preserved that ship llll'OlJ_tfll so many dan-
gers at that cqnilloctial season, and such a stic-
cession of po.le:'ful enemies.
I llearllly wish Capt. Tucker success ; and
beg the favor of you, sir, to cornmunicatc to any
coinmitlee who may be charged ‘with tile examin-
ation of his application, this letter, from your
friend and humble servant, Joli.-t ADAMS.
Hon. Mi'.(.'ro-zstt2i72.s-liicltl, Secretary of the Navy.
Connected vritll this letter is an anecdote of
the now venerable writer, which we do not re-
collect to have seen in print. From the llllali'ect-
ed simplicity with which the letter is written, it
would notizlppear that Mr. Adams was on board
the vessel commanded by Capt. Tucker, in the
cruize of which he speaks ; bughis was the fact.
Capt. Tucker then commanded the Boston fri-
gate, and was charged with the important duty,
at that difiicult time, of carrying Mr. Adams out
as Ambassador to France. About 15 days before
their arrival at Bordeaux, there have in sight it
large English ship, showing :2 tier of guns.--.
T ticker immediately held a conversation with Mr.
Adams, assured him that he could take her, and
wisheg_ to obtain his consent to run down for her :
this was granted: the Boston bore down: Mr.
Adams being a non-combatant, was desired to
retire into the cock-pit, below water. lie descen-
ded, at this request, into the cabin. Tucker re-
turned immediately to his duty, and in 15 mili-
utes the Boston was within hail of the English
ship, .wllicll proved to be the Martha, and had"
been lying to, to meet her enemy. Upon Tuck-
er’s hailing tire British ship, she answered by a
broad-side, which sllot away a piece of the mizen
yard of the Boston,‘which fell upon 'l‘ucker’s
shoulder, and brought‘ him fiat on the deck. This
fora momellt prevented the order to return the fire,
but as he leaped from the deck and gaint-t_l his
legs, he found the colors of the Martha battled
down ; and looking forward, observed Mr. Adams
among the marines, with a musket ill his hand,
having privately applied to the officer of marines
for a gun, and taken his station among them.—
At this sight, Capt. Tucker became alarmed;
for he \\ as responsible for the safety of Mr. Ad-
ams, and walking up to the Ambassador, desired
to know how he came there? Upon which the
other smiled, gave up his gun, ‘and went imme-
diately below.

‘ The food of the Indians in this country varies
with the seasons. They occasionally subsist on
the \Vauboseepill. It resembles a potatoc, is
mealy when boiled, alld grows only in wet clay
ground, and about one and a half feet deep. The
crane polatoc is another article of food, called by
them SllCll£lUCW£llJl)(:SS:'..‘plll. The VVantappinee
is it small root, frequently pulled three feet long,
which is dried ill order to preserve it. This root
is found on tile southern shore of Lake Superior.
Tlicnc tllrec are boiled when prepared for food.-
Tll.-ty also use the Bois Retors, or twisted wood,
in cases of t-xtrcllle necessity. It resembles the
l)lllel'-SWCL‘l.—-l’UllS into the tops of the highest
trees, and from one tree to another, has a thick
bilrk, and is sweet and palatable when boiled. To
these may be added the wild rice and such game
as they occasionally kill, eating every kind and
every part. To make their rice palatable, and
one of their highest epicurean dishes, they occa-
sionally take a partridge, pick or'i'tl'le.fe.ltllcrs, and
without any further dressing, except pounding it
to the consistency of a jelly, it is thrown into the
rice and boiled in that state. It is scarcely possi-
ble to account for such an appetite, except it be
that necessity having compelled them frequently
to resort to this loathsome food for sustenance,
they have at length acquired a relish for it.
All the men at Sandy lake, and south of it, an-
nually, in the month of March, go to the border of
the Sioux cotmtry, and as far beyond as their fears
will permit them, to hunt the beaver. Their fam-
ilies, bcing left at home ill this hunt, repair to the
sugar camps, alld are engaged in manufacturing
sugar, dllring the absence of the men, of uliich
they make a very large quantity.
The Indians around Sandy lake, in the month
of September, repair to Rice lake, to gather rice.
In no other place does it grow in as large quanti-
ties as there. This lake is about five miles long
and three broad. lt 'l*‘‘‘ '“*‘"I‘.‘‘ "’ "‘
M-,,,_ -.-., tor tne"watel- is not over live feet deep,
and its surface is almost entirely covered with
rice. It is only in molasses or milddy bottoms
that this grain is found.
It llas formerly the practice of the Indians,
when the grain was in the milk, to pass around in
canoes and gather up the tops in large shocks,
and fzlstcn them, ill order to render the collection
ofthe grain easier when ripened. By this means
they also obtained mllch larger quantities than at
present. The work of harvestillg is perfornlcd
by the females. It is now gathered by two of
them passing round in a canoe, one sitting in the
stern and pushing it along, while the other, with
two small pointed sticks, about three feet long,col-
lects it in by rulllling one of the sticks into the
rice, and bending it into the canoe, while with the
other she threshes out the grain. This she does
on botll sides of the canoe alterna'»ely, and while
it is moving. The grain is not ripe when harvest-
ed. It falls covered with a husk, and has a heard
about two inches long. One method of curing
lllc rice, and that which makes it the most palata-
ble, is by putting it into a kettle ill small qlr.lnti-
ties, and hanging it over the fire until it becomes
parched. A round hole is dug in the ground, a-
bout afoot and a half deep and three feet in cir-
cunlfel'ence, into which a lnoose skin is usually
put. Into this hole the grain is poured, where it
is trodden by an Indian until it is completely hull-
ed. This is a very laborious work, and always
devolves upon the men. After being sulliciently
trodden, it is takell out, and cleaned in a fan lnade
of birch bark, shaped something like those used
by farmers. This is the most expeditious meth-
od of cleaning it. ’
The other method differs from this only in
drying. It is as follows: a scaffold is made of
small poles, about three feet from the ground, and
covered with cedar slabs. On this the rice is
spread, and under the scaffold a small lire kindled,
which is kept tip until the grain becomes entirely
dry. The grain cllred in this way is more nu-
tricious, alld keeps mucll longer than the other.-—
lly that of parcbing in a kettle, the substance is
destroyed. Tile rice, when cured, is put into
sacks of about a bushel each. One family ordi-
naiily makes about five sacks of rice; btlt those
who are industrious sometimes make twenty-five.
A few of the provident Indians save a little for
the spring of the year, to eat with their sugar ;
but generally, by the time they have done curing
it, the whole is disposed of for trirlkets and orna-
ments. Thus by gratifying their vanity, they are
left nearly destitute of provisions for the winter;
choosing rather to endure hunger and the great-
est misery, than to lilortlfy their pride I’

LATEST FROM EUROPE.
By the ship Hector, which sailed from Liver-
pool on the 19th ultimo, the editors oftlle Mer-
cantile Advertiser have received London papers
to the 17th Nov. These papers furnish many
articles of considerable interest. VVe have copi-
ed the most prominent.

The proceedings against the Queen have ter-
minated in the House of Lords. It being ascer-
tained oll the 10th, that there would be only a ma-
jority of!) for the bill on the third reading, a nio-
tion was made by Lord Liverpool to postpone ta-
king the question that day six months, which was
carried. This is considered in England as an a-
bandonment of the prosecution, and great rejoi-
cing; had taken place in consequence, throughout
Ellgl-and. London was illuminated three succes-
sive nights, in a very brilliant manner, the win-
dows exhibiting transparencies and placards in-
scribed “ The Queen trium/2/rant.” Some riots
took place in the course of these demonstrations
of joy, and the windows of two newspaper ofiiccs
were demolished. Lord Liverpool, it is said, was
about to resign.
CASE OF THE QUEEN.
The question onthe second reading of the bill
against the Queen was taken on the (ilh Nov.when
it appeared there were Contents, l23—Noil Con-
tents, 95--Majority 28. On the following day,
the debate on the third reading was commenced,
which continued till the lOtll. The House then.
divided ; when there appeared for the third read-
ing ;-”OS, against it 99, leaving a majority of only
9 in falvorof the bill.
As soon as the state of the division was an-
nounced, Lord Dacre lose, anti holding a paper
ill his hand, said he had been eiltl'usterl with a pc-
tition from her nlajesty, pl'aying to be heard by
counsel E‘."’ulllSL the passing of the bill. Lord Liv-
cr/znoz.’ said, that he apprelleneled such a course
would be rendered unnecessary by what he was
about to state. He could not be ignorant ofthe
state of public feeling with regard to this meas-
ure,-and it appeared to be the opinion of the House
that the bill should be read a third time, only by a
majority of nine votes. Had the third reading
been carried by as considerable a llumbcr of peers
as tllc second, he and his colleagues would have
felt it their duty to persevere with the bill, and
send it dolvn to the other branch of the Legisla-
ture. ln the present state of the country, howev-
er, and witll the division of sentiment, so nearly
balanced, just evinced by their lolrlsliips, they
had come to the determiuatioll not to proceed any
further with it. He should accordingly move that
the question that the bill do pass be put on this
day six months. [The most vehement cheering;
took place on this unexpected dccl-at'ation.] Earl
Grey rose as soon as the Earl of Liverpool had re-
sumed his seat, but the confusion did not subside
until after his Lordship had been for some time
up. His lordship complained of the whole. r.nni_'.s-=
zmnllsters had pursued with regard to the bill,
‘which, after the declaration of the noble Earl,
could scarcely be said to be before the House,
but which was still before the country, and would
long live ill its nlemory. He cllargetl the ser-
vants of the crown with the grossest neglect of
duty, in the first instance, in listening only to an
ex-fzarte evidence, and giving a willillg credence
to the most exaggerated and unfounded colum-
nies. They had thus, for many months, agitated
the nation: they had prodtlcetl a general staglla-
tion of public and private business ; and they had
given a most favorable opportunity, were it desi-
red, to the enemies of internal peace and tranquil-
ity. They had hetrayetl their King, insulted their
Queen, and hadgivcn a shock to the morals of
society. by the promulgation ofthe detestable and
disgusting evidence, ill the hearing of which the
House has been so long occupied. He also rep-
rob'.tted., in the severest terms, the conduct of the
Milan conlmissioners, who, havillg been appoint-
ed, not to investigate the trutll. but to obtain tes-
timony of guilt, had found ill this cotlnlry but too
great an lllCllll2.t't.li.‘-ll to put lilitll in all the stories
their ilgcllts anti witnesses might invent against
the honor and leputation of the Queen of Great
Britain. ‘ '1 he result has been, that, after inqui-
ries, secret and oper..—:«.fter the greatest calam-
nies and the foulest libels had been made the sub-
ject ofdetail and debate for fifty days——after all
the injtlry that it was possible to do the Queen
had been accomplished, the bill was abandoned,
not llithout reason, but without apology. llis
lordsllip concluded by assulillg the noble lords on
the other side, lllttl. the people of Great Britain
would not be satisfied with the mere withdrawing
of the measure, but would demand a strict inqui-
ry iillo its. ifO‘tlli(~l8lIl)ll and oligin. Lord Ers/.-inc
acldressed a few words to their Lordships in a
mizlnner truly emphatic and striking :--‘ l have
heard (said he) the proposal of the noble Earl~—-
I see the fate of this odious measure consumma-
ted, andl feel nothing but the most entire satis-
faction. I heartily rejoice in this event. My
lords, I am an old man ; and my life, whether it
have been for good or for evil, has been passed
under the sacred rule of the law. ln this moment
I feel myself rellovated and repaired, by that rule
being restored—-—the cursed charge has passed 0-
ver our heads ; there is all end ofthat horrid anti
portelltolls excresence of a new law, retrospective
and iniquitous and oppressive ; and the collstitli-
tion and scheme of our policy is ollce more safe.
The Duke of 1'lIontro.s~e said, he should oppose
the ‘motion for throwing olit the bill. He was
convinced ofller Majesty's criminality, and should
never look tip to her as Queen. The motion was
then put and agreed to, and the house adjourned
to the 23d inst. the day on which the Commons
meet. * -4
Her Majesty was in attendance, in her private
apartment, at the House of Lords, from a quarter
before 12. Whilst the peers were going through
ion, her Majesty’s coullcil,as soon as they ascer-
tained that the majority would not exceed 9, re-
paired to her presence, and advised her to present
a peailioli to be heard by counsel against the pas-
of the majority for the bill with great ‘fo‘rtitu‘de,
and signed the petition drawn up by her counsel
with a smiling air, saying, as she wrote the w0I'_ds
Caroline, Regina, ‘ There, Regina still, in spite
of them.’ In a few minlltes 'her counsel rushed
into the room, with the glad tidings that. the bill
was rejected.
she looked fixed and insensible as a_ statue. Mr.
Brougham suggested the propriety of. her majes-
ly proceeding immediately to her carriage; her
majesty’s attendantshanded llerdown stairs: he!‘
majesty still remaining perfectly silent; and it
was not till after ishe had been some minutes in
her carriage that a llood of tears coming to her
relief, she was able to resume her speech, and her
wonted serenity and firmness. In the nlcan time,
the cheers of the noble /lords who opposed the
bill, were re-echoed by the persons assembled in
the lobbies, and the cause, wllicll had excited in-
tense anxiety in the multitude which filled Palace
yard, was soon explained by Mr. Vizard, who
came out on the leads over the piazza. The in-
telligclice was received with shouts of joy and
collgratlllation, which spread ill every direction
with the rapidity of an electric shock. T_hou-
sands pressed around her majesty’s carriage, as it
drove slowly on towards I.’.radenburgll-house, and
felicitated her upon her triumpll over the malice
of her adversaries. The bells of all the churches
rang merry peals ; at all the theatres that were
open, ‘ God save the Queen,’ was called for, alld
‘cordially joined in by the performers and the au-
dience. In the evening there was an illumination
as general and brilliant as could have been ex-.
pected on so sudden an emergency, and, to the
midnight bout‘, the streets were crowded with
multitudes of persons, congratulating each other
on the rejection of the bill, as if for an important
and unexpected victory achieved over an enemy
wllo had approaclled to our very threshold. Tile
news having preceded her majesty, vast numbers
assembledall along the road, who, as her majesty
passed, rent a the air with shouts of ‘God bless
your lnajesly'—--‘God preserve you from your en-
emies.’ On her retuln to Bralldenburgh-house,
heir majesty found there several Italian ladies. no-
blcmen and g:c-ntlemen, who had the same after-
noon arrived ili this country, to give evidence in
her favor in the House of Commons, if (as was
expected) the bill should have been sent down to
that house. They had the honor of (lilting with
her Majesty, and also with Mr. Alderman Wood,
Countess Oldi, Colonel Oliveia and his lady, and
a number of others of her majesty’s friends, and
the evening was spent with the gre'.itcst delight
and satisfaction.
Her Majesty has again written to Lord Liver-
pool, dcmanding a suitable palace and establish-
ment, which has been much too long deferred.
Her majesty received in answer, that his Lord-
ship had communicated her demands to his Ma.-
jesly, but had received no answer. Lord Liver-
pool pleads his absence from town as an excuse
for his delay in answering her majesty’s letter.
Loxnon, Nov. 16.
The Queen intends ‘going to Hammersmith
Church on Sllnday next,to receive the sacrament ;
and on the Sunday following to St. Paul's, pub-
licly to return thanks to Almighty God for her
deliverance from the foul and wicked conspiracy
directed against her honor and hcr.l'lfe. A com-
rnuniontion has been made to the Lord Mayor of
her Maje.-.ty’s intention, and we have no doubt but
that his Lordship will attend in state, with a con-
Sl(I6f‘3l)lC number ofthe corporation in their robes,
to meet the Queen at Temple bar. Her Majes-
ty has fixed Friday, the 24th, for receiving a con-
siderable number of addl'esse.-3 of congratulation
already voted.
A gnarl] room for an officer and fifty men has
been elected around the King's cottage at VVind-

It is rumored in the fasl ' able circles that the
Queen has declared her igloo. ofcommellcing
all action for .“.lItl‘l(lCI‘ against a ,certain member of
the Royal Fanlily. ‘ i
It is generally understood that Mr. Canlling
coiltlenlned the proceedings against the Queen,
and refused his co-o_pel'ation in that odious meas-
tire.
The rumor, still continues ofthe desire expres-
sed by the Earls of Liverpool and I-larrowby to
retire from the Cahillet. The noble Lord at the
head of the treasury is said to have (lcclared that
he could not concur in any general declaration a-
gaillst the Queen, ofthe nature suggesletl by l0l'(l
Ellerlborougtl ; and if his colleagues entertain a-
ny such purpose, he shall resign.
A Court of Common Council has been slim-
moned ‘ To consider the propriety of preselltillgz;

line, tlpon the victory she has obtained over a foul
anti atrocious conspiracy, seeking no less her Ma-
jesty’s destruction, than aiming a blow at the laws
ofthe land, and the dearest rights of English-
men.’ ‘
Parliament will meet again the 533d, but it will
meet, we believe, ollly for the purpose of beillg
prorogued. It is likely to assemble again, for the
dispatch of business, about the middle or latter end
of January.
The future destiny of the Queen is presumed
to engloss at present the attention of l\'linistel's. »
Tile insertion of her Majest_v’s name in the litur-
