Extract of a letter from on qflicer qf 0:128 Qf the
vessels, dated MA'r._ANzAs, Mar_c. 31-r
‘ I returned to the ship last evening, a tor
an absence of eight days in tho boats, among
the Keys, and along the north‘-side of Cuba.-.-—
We made very diligent searches on BYBTY K9)’:
and particularly on Key Roman0, the SP0‘ O"
which the gallant but unfortunate Allen I fell,
but were completely unsuccessful. VVe board-
ed a number of vessels during our absence,
who were no doubt pirates, but they managed
in such a manner that we could not, with any
propriety, lay hold of them. "Our squadron
The
Shark has gone to Caraccas with some secret
message from the Commodore. The Weasel,
Terrier and Ferret, coininandedi by Keiinon,
Henly and Rose, are cruising on the south
. - . 9
side ofCuba, and are tojoin us at Thompson s
Island, in a-few days. A largefieet ofmer-
chantmen, of different nations, are lying here,
to sail in a few days under convoy. Heavy
piratical schooners have been cruising off‘ tlus
harbor for some time past, murdering and rob-
biiig every thing they fall in with. News has
this instant reached us of the _capture of two
American vessels, by a large piratical schoon-
"er, about 15 miles to windward of this place.
Wegire now fitting out our_ boats again, with
all possible dispatch, and will leave herein a-
bout an hour in pursuit of this schooner.’
Capt. Jackson, at this port, left Havana on
the 30th iilt. under convoy of the Decoy, and
Jackall, two ofConi. Porter’s squa(_lron._ ‘He
informs that four days previous to his sailing,
_ the captain of the schr. Pilot, from Norfolk,
'bound to Havana, arrived there in a droger,
his vessel having been taken with all on board
by the Pirates, who had converted it to their
own use. The crew of the Pilot were put a-
shore on the coast.—Merc. fldv.
We learn by captain Cole from Matanzas,
and-who sailed thence March 30, that on the
27th an order was received from the Governor
of Cuba, reviving a former one, excluding
American men-of-war from the ports of the
Island; that a copy had been delivered to
Coin. Porter. The commander of the place
had intimated no design of attempting to en-
"force it, but had gone on a visit to the inte-
rior.—Boslon Palladium.
The following is the General Order issued
bv Com. Porter, on the occasion ofthe death
of Lieutenant William H. Cooke. It is dated
‘ U. S. ship Peacock, March 10, 1823.
The afflicting intelligence which has this
day been received,rclative to the death of that
most excellent officer and man, Lt. “Tm. H.
Cooke, by a shot fired from the castle at St.
Johns, has filled us with the most lively sor-
row and regret. Had he fallen in battle—had
he died by the hands of declared enemies, our
sorrow would be assuaged by the knowledge
of his having died in the defence of the rights
ofhis country, and while doing his duty as‘an
oflicer. But to he cruelly torn from his fam-
ily, his friends, and his country, by the con-
.duct ofa dastard,(wliose aim was rendered
.more sure by his perfect safety, and by the
helpless condition of our lamented frieiid,) is
But while we deprecate the act of the indi-
vidual who committed it, we must not involve
in it the conduct ofa whole people. The
-Captain General of the Island has given the
most unequivocal proofs of the most sincere
-regret that the event has taken place. Eve-
ry thing has been done by him thatl could
reasonably expect ofhiin to do at present, to
satisfy me of his friendly disposition towards
us, and as no act ofours can recall to life the
estimable man who has been taken from us,
we must leave what remains yet to be done to
our country, whose demands will no doubt be
prompt and effectual. All that remains forus
to do is to grieve ; and as a slight token of
what we feel, it is proposed to wear crape on
our left arms and on our swords for 1 month-
, Form‘ HA\vKINS, March 31.
Littleberry Covenah, ofBurkc county,Geo.
passed through this place a few days ago on
his return from Florida, in company with a-
nother gentleman, and relates, that on the 27th
'ult._ they were stopped by a Seminole Chief,
at an Indian town, about 50 miles from St.
Marks, and detained until the 28th. About
12 o’clock at night they made their escape
with an Indian pilot, who informed tbein it
was troublesome times there for white people.
About 1 o’clock P. M. on the 1st March, they
found two men with their thr'oats recently cut,
one bleeding when they found him. On going
to a group of Indians at asliort distance, they
saw one tied, and in custody ofa chief, who
said he had committed the murder, and should
be carried to St. Marks and given up. The
travellers petitioned for leave to kill him, but
the chief would not grant it. The cause of
this mischievous conduct was said to be, that
thej} wanted a part of Florida ceded to them.
. BALTIMORE, April 14.
Linnnia;-1 The brig Oswego left this port
yesterday fo die American colony in Africa.
On Saturday ".ifternoon Dr. Ayres, Rev. Mr.
Gurley, and many others, went on board the
brig to witness the soleinnity of the new colo-
nists taking the oath ofallegiance to their a-
dopted country. After a religious service of
praise, prayer, and exlaortation by the Rev.
Mr. Allen, a colored preacher from Philadel-
phia, and the Rev. Mr. Gurley, Dr. Ayres ad-
dressed the emigrants and exhibited to their
view the difficulties &L dangers they will prob-
ably have to encounter, the deprivations they
might suffer; assured them, that they were at
liberty to withdraw if they pleased, and if
they had any inclination ‘to remain in this
country he entreated that they would then re-
tire. He made many judicious observations
on the necessity ofharmony and good conduct
in every -respect—-He spoke offlie great exer-
tions made in their behalf, and the expecta-
tions of their friends here of the success and
prosperity of the colony resulting from their
good conduct. The oath of allegiance was
then adiniiiistered by Peter Gall, Esq. to a-
bout 925 men. It was an interesting and im-
pressive scene.
The passengers in the brig amount to sixty
three men, women and children (all in good
health)—-as respectable as any colored people
in this country. Many ofthem are well edu-
cated, and all of them very intelligent. A-
mong'them is a late slave of Daniel Murray,
whose master not only gave him libert_v, but
furnished him with supplies to aid him in the
‘new settlement. There are good grounds to
be confident that Mr. iV'Ii.irray’s example will

be followed by many as soon as the colony be-
comes more settled and in a more prosperous
out in the stream was visited by an immense
the wharves to see her departure. She takes
out an.-uncommonly intelligent colored man
of considerable talents and good judgment.-
He has travelled eighteen years through vari-
ous parts of Asia-—has been in most parts of
the countries of Europe and South America,
andnow visits Africa to explore the River Me-
suroda and ascertain its proximity to the Ni-
ger. He is a native of Frederick county.
IVe understand there is a trading company
formed-with the approbation of the American
Colonization Society, to open a trade with
Liberia and the neighboring coast, by whom
one or more vessels will be kept constantly
employed. The first vessel it is expected will
sail from-this port in the next month, and will
probably take passengers.
FROM CAPE MONTSERADO.
The Baltimore Morning Chronicle gives a
statement, from which it appears, that the A-
merican Colonists on the west coast of Africa
enjoy good health, but are exposed to a worse
affliction than sickness. The acting agent
writes, under date of November 30: ‘ Nearly
all the tribes around us are combined in war
against us. Their principal object is plunder.
They attacked us on the morning of the lltli
November, at break of day, 800 in number,
killed and mortally wounded one man, one
boy, and one woman ; wounded four others,
an_d took captive seven children. All our for-
ces have for a month stood upon their arms
through the night.’ The arrangements of the
colonists would have prevented this partial,
surprise, but, at the point where the foe made
the attack, part of the guard were dosing .’—
The enemy appeared in one compact body,
and drove the whole company, after wounding
one half, into the_town. They were, however
in twenty minutes afterwards, compelled to
retreat in a solid mass the centre ofwliicli was
raked by a long 18, loaded with grape. They
carriedaway all their dead and wounded. ,
On the morning ofthe 9.d'of December, the
colony was again attacked by the native war-
riors, swelled in nu'mber.to 1,500. The attack
was made in two opposite points at the same
time ; but, so determined was the defence, and
so great was the terror spread among the na-
tives by the greatgims, that the yell for a re-
treat was soon sounded, and the whole 1500.
ran away in great consternation.
It is remarkable, that the acting agent, who
was exposed to the hottest of the fire, and re-
ceived six bullet holes through his surtout,
should escape without awound. And it is e-
qually remarkable, that 28 men and boys (for
this was the whole military force of the Colo-
nists) should, in two successive engagements,
repulse 800, and 1,500 armed men, with the
loss of only two men, one boy, and one wo-
The history of the earlysettlenients of
America inform us, however, that a few men,
acquainted with the European mode of war-
fare, caii put to route a whole host of savages.
This war cut off all intercourse with the
natives who had before supplied the colony
with poultry, vegetables, eggs, honey, and
other articles, and, as they had no means of
communication with S'cirra Leone, the Colo-
nists were in great want of all kinds of fresh
provisions, and, at the date of the ageiit’s last
letters, had been sixiweeks "on an allowance
of bread and meat. '
The morning after the second battle, the
commandant of the British armed schooner
Prince Regent,’ then providentially in the of-
‘ting, sent about 20 inariiies to the assistance
ofthe Colonists, with a supply of ammunition
and provisions. Capt. Laing, the late cele-
brated African traveller, than whom no man
on the continent is better acquainted with the
native character, the next day entered into a
negociation with the head men for peace.-
They unanimously consented to a truce, and
to submit all differences to Gov. M’Carthy un-
der whose mediation a treaty of peace is to be
entered into. The British inarincs are left to
keep up the truce——and, by this happy ar-
rangeineiit,the trade with the natives forpoul-
try, 8z.c. has been renewed.
Soon after the truce’was effected, the coni-
mander of a Coloiiibiaii armed vessel olfcrerl
to present the establishment with a new ele-
gant prize schr of50 tons. This will add nia-
terially to the security of the settlement, and
furnish the means of intercourse with Sierra
Leone, or any other place on the coast.

The .Mails.—VVe scarcely open a paper
without meeting complaints of the defective
arrangements and management ofthe post of-
fice department. This has been a subject of
last three or four years, and we suspect that
the proper remedyis to be sought in a differ-
entprganization of the department, as well as
the change of its director. The abuses pre-
vailing under the present systeui are greatand
increasing, and demand that attention from
Congress which we fear may be looked for in
vain until the agitation of the great Presiden-
tial question is over, and our legislators find
time and capacity to bend theirattention to
other subjects of less excitement, but perhaps
of not less public concern. From among the
complaints of the bad management of the
mails, we take the following from the Louis-
ville Public Advertiser as exemplifying in no
very extravagant degree the benefits derived
froui a well arranged post office system :
LOUISVILLE, March.9.8.—TIie Mails.—In
the course oflast week we were nearly -iuuii-
dated with newspapers from almost every town
or city in the Union,except Washington City.
We had the felicity to receive several papers
from Arkansas, dated as late as the 1st of De-
cember last; and the Shawneetown Gazette,
travelling on the wings of the wind, brought
us the message of Governor Coles, delivered
to the legislature oflllinois at the commence-
ment ofthe session, which terminated at month
or so since. From,Missouri, we have papers
and news, ofcourse, equally interesting. The
Little Rock, (Arkansas) Gazette of the 26th
Nov. 182% received at Louisville in the third
week of March A. D. 1893, containing sundry
extract: from the proposals issued by the Post
Master Gen. for carrying certain mails in that
territory—-some once a week, others once a
fortnight. As these contracts were all to have
been made on the first ofJan. last, we should
not have deemed it necessary to recur to them,
if we had not been convinced that a scnii-an-
uual mail, would, under existing circumstan-
ces, be more economical, and serve the people
condition. Yesterday morning thehrig lying I

The Foreign News in this paper,parti,cular-
ly that part ofit which relates to the disgrace-
ful proceedings in the French Chamber of
Deputies,will be found interesting. It will be
seen that there have been three arrivals from
Europe since our last, and that every one of
them brings additional indications that the
flames of war are soon to be lighted up on
the Continent. - l '

towns give Mr. Plant amajority of 681 over
Mr.,Perkins, for Lt. Governor. It is thought
that the votes of the towns which remain to
be heard from will reduce this ‘majority. The
scattering votes are supposed to be about 1200,
which renders it certaii_i that no.__choice has
been made. “Mr. Day is re-elected by a con-
siderable niajority over Mr. Seymour. Vile

.19 tragical event occurred in N ew-York on
the 16th inst. Mr. -Charles Steele, a grocer,
living at the Corner of Broonie and Cannon
streets, deliberately shot his wife while stand-
ing in the street, which took off one of her
arms above the elbow. He tlieu cut his own
throat with a razor so effectually that he sur-
vived but a few minutes. The cause of this
act is not known‘, but it is said that Mrs. S.
had complained to the Police ofill treatment
from him. Mr. S. was about 50 years old, in
comfortable circumstances as to property, and
sustaineda fair character in his neighborhood.
. A letter from Canton, mentions that the
Mandarines, in their account ofthe fire, rep-
resented the’ damages at less than they were,
from some notion of policy, but that it was a
fact that the number ofliouses destroyed were
between 9 and 10,000—and hundreds of per-
sons pcrishcd—iiiany of the boats on the river
were burnt. The loss ofproperty was estima-
ted Sl5,000,000, most of which was owned by
the Chinese, who considered the conflagra-
tion ajudginent, and said the ‘ air was on fire.’
In Philadelphia, a few days since, an infu-
riated Ox alarmed the neighborhood of Mar-
ket street. In his rage he attacked a woman,
whom he threw on the meat hooks in the mar-
ket; another he threw over his back, and o-
verturned a man, but neither were much inju-
red. Bythe address ofa colored man a noose
was slipped over his horns by which he was
secured to a pump and there killed.
The ‘ Haiiiburg-Excli:iiige List,’ states that
two Americans reside at Owuihi, at present,
both of whom are married to-native women,
one oftliem, Aaron Holmes, is from Massa-
chusetts, and aged about 96 years. ’ He is
married to the daughter ofthe late King, by
whom he has six daughters. He was agent
to the late King, his father-in-law, and con-
tinues to be so to the present King. He fur-
nishes to the ships that touch at that place,
such articles as they uiay want, and takes in
returii cloth and other articles. The natives
call him Uncle Homer. The name ofthe oth-
er perso_ii is R. Ross, from Providence; he
has lived 3 years at Owaihi.
\Ve learn from the Providence,- Patriot,
that, so far from a mistake liziviiiglocctirred
in the report ofCaptain Tyler, relative to the
annexation ofthe province of St. Salvadorde
Guatemala to these United States, the ori°gz'.nul
manuscript of the application ofthe Congress
of that Province for the purpose, has been ac-
tually transmitted totlie Department ofstate !
The result of the proposition it is not difl‘i-
cult to anticipate. Even were the proposed
territory lying on our border, the objections to
the offer would he numerous and insiirinount-
able. The strength of our government has
been sufficiently impaired already by extend-
ing its frontier, and the results connected with
it, without vaulting over the Bay of Mexico,
to fasten itsdestinies to those of a people who
have nothing with us in common, either in
religion or the habits of social life—wlio can
neither speak our language nor appreciate
our political institutions.—.€lm-erican.

The British sloop of war Athol, of9.8 guns,
ar. here on Saturday from Jainaica, (March
27th,) and Havana 11th inst. We learn by
this arrival, that the boats ofthe U. S. sloop
of war Peacock._had re-captured from the Pi-
rates, the sch. Pilot, ofBaltimore, after an ac-
tion, about 40 niiles from Havana. Two of
the pirates were killed, one, a Spaniard, was
taken alive who had a large sum in gold in a
belt round his body-—the rest ofthe crew made
their escape to the shore, tho’ several ofthem
were wounded. A number of muskets, cut-
lasses, bnc. were found on board the Pilot.-
Three days previous, she had taken an Ainer-
ican brig off Havana, aliused the captain and
crew in a shocking manner. and taken out all
they could of the cargo. The brig had sub-
sequently got into Havana, and some ofthe
officers of the Athol were on board of her.
The Athol spoke, March 3151:, the Britisli
cutter Grecian, on a cruize. She had about
a week previous engaged a large piraticzil schr.
of 10 guns and 90 inen,whicli was blown up-
but most of the crew made their escape; 30
horses on the beach, intended to aid their es-
cape, were taken by the crew ofthe'Gi'ecian,
and one or two ofthe pirates, who stated that
the crew had shared $4000 each of plunder.

Capt. Coffin, at Charleston,. who left Ma-
tanzas 6th inst. understood that a letter had
been received from Havana, _stating that there
had been great destruction among the pirates,
off Cape Antonio, by the U. S. ship Decoy,
Capt. Kearney. The story at Matanzas, was
that the pirates boarded the Decoy mistaking
her for a iiiercliantman, and that about nine-
ty of them were made prisoners. Capt. C.
gives the story as he heard it at Matauzas.
[We understand says the Mercantile, there
are letters in town from Havana, by the Athol,
which speak of the above occurrence.]
Ruslia and the United States.—-We "learn,
by capt. Gardner, at New Bedford, froui the
Sandwich Islands, that the brig Pearl, Ste-
vens, ‘of Boston, ar. there 5 days before he
sailed, from the N. W. Coast, havingibeen
ordered off by the Russian Oflicer command-
ing at Norfolk Sound. After leaving the port,
the Pearl was boarded by the Russian frigate
Apollo, and documents" were (presented to
Capt. S. declaringtlie Russian claim to exclu-
sivejurisdiction to extend to lat. 51, N. on the
N. W. coast of America, northward to Bear-
hing’s Straits, and thence to lat. 47, 50, N. on
the Coast of Japan! and that all vessels, of
whatever nation, caught within 100 Italian
miles even of those extensive limits, (except
in cases of actual distress) will be subject to
Confiscation—.N'alional vessels not-excepted.
The‘ Apollo was about to dispatch vessels, and
also to proceed down the coast for the pur-
pose of ordering all vessels off. Two other
large Russian frigates are on their way to the
coast.——.Mcrc. fldv.

ing—and the men will be immediately sent
into the field. To defray the expence the
merchants of this city have agreed to give
$925,000. The property of the Spanish peo-
ple seems to exalt their valor, while it offers
nothing to tempt the invador. After the tak-
ing of Urgel from the Serviles, 600 dead bo-
dies were found.—Pa-lladium.
