FOREIGN N EWS--Extracts from Loittlon
Papers, to June 6, rcc’d at Plrilarleljihia.
An article dated St. Petersburg, May 15th,
says—-“ Our differences with the U. States of
North America respecting the North “fest-
crn Coast ofthe Atnerican C'ontineut are now
settled,by the exertions of the Diplomatic
Coininissioners noniinatedfor that purpose,
to the etitire satisfaction of the respective
States, whose relations are placed on the tnost
friendly footing.” "
The ctr")-barrasstiients in the London money
market continued, and that of Paris had been
disturbed in like manner. Numerous express
es were constantly passing. In London, S. A-
mer. securities were very heavy. The London
Courier states, upon authority, that no loan
had been contracted for the service of the
Brazilian government, ‘the comiuissioners for
the purpose, declining all offers until there
should be a furtlter developeinent of political
circumstances connected with the condition
of that country.’ '
In the House ofComnions on the 1st June,
Mr. Brougham delivered an able and extens-
ive speech._in relation to the case of the Mis-
sionary Smith, who was condemned to death
at Demarara and died in prison. He conclu-
ded his speech with the following motion :
“ That an humble address be presented to
his Majesty, representing that this House,hav-
iug taken into their most serious consideration
the papers laid before them relating to the tri-
al and condemnation of the late Reverend
John Smith, a Missionary in thetcolony of
Deniarara, deem it their duty now to declare
that they contemplate, with serious alarm and
deep sorrow, the violation of law and justice
which is manifestin those unexaiupled pro-
ceedings, and most earnestly praying that his
Majesty will be graciously pleased to adopt
such measures, as to his Royal wisdom may
seem meet, for securing such a just a'nd hu-
‘inane administration of law in that colony as
may protect the voluntary instructors of tlie
‘negroe.-=, as well asthe negroes themselves,
and the rest of his Majesty’s subjects,» from
oppression.” '
Sir James Macltintosli su'pported the ino-
’ lion in an uncommonly eloquent and brilliant
manner. The debate was adjourned for a
fortnight. Mr. Canning and otlierleaders in
the House were to take part in it. '
Parliament has granted a charter to the
Great Marine Insurance Company. This
Company are to,‘ give a bonus__to the govern-
ment of near a nilllion and a haIfofdoll.’ai's.
The Blossnrn sloop of war from South A-
merica, arrived in England, brought about
two millions sterling in specie for British
merchants.
Vessels which had..left Alexandria, in E-
gypt, on the Sloth April, brought no further in-
telligence respecting events at Cairo. At Al-
exandria, the Pacha’s armaments continued,
but up to that day, not a man had been eni-
barked. In the vicinity of Cairo, and even
among the Pacha’s troops, the plagueraged
in a terrible manner.
From Paris papers of the 4th June, it ap-
pears that the French Ministers have" been
unexpectedly beaten in the Chamber of Peers
where the financial law was rejected by a nia-
jority considerably larger than could have
been anticipated. It was said that a change
of Ministers would be the consequence.
The decree of amnesty has excited an in-
tense sensation in Spain.
lowed the measure ofpurification have been
informed that they must present their claims
within 15 days from the publication of, the
amnesty, on pain of forfeiting the provision
made in their favor. A committee, formed
from ex-members ofthe Inqtiisition, is sitting
day and night to make out a catalogue of
prohibited books.
Every thing was perfectly tranquil at Lis-
bon,_on the 26th May. Speaking ofthe re-
turn ofthe imbecile king to Lisbon, from on
board the British man of war, wliere' he took
refuge from his hopeful son and loving queen,
the newspapers say-—— ‘
“The city was splendidly illuminated in
the evening, and at the theatres, as well as ev-
ery where else: it is impossible to describe the
enthusiasm shown by the loyal inhabitantsfor
the first, the most humane, and most just of
Kings!” “ No expression _can paint the
enthusiasm which the immense crowd ofin—
habitants of this capital, of all classes and a-
ges, and both sexes, manifested towards their
august and adored Sovereign at the moment
ofhis landing. The air resounded with ac-
’clainations, the people embraced each other,
fears of pleasure_ bathed? their cheeks, and no-
thing was heard from every side but cries of,
‘ Our King ; mir Father.’
When the King of Portugal was leaving the
British man of war in the Tagns, to which he
had’ fled i'n order to save his crown, he declar-
ed tliat‘lie never thought himself safer or
happier thanwhcn he found liimselfunderthe
protection'ofBritish cannon.’ This illustrates
the felicity ofa legitimate monarch. His pro-
tection is cannon in all instances.
The oflicers ofthe British 74 on board of
which the King repaired, describe, in letters
to their friends, the extraordinary scene which
their ship presented. The Ed day ofhis pres-
ence there, being his birtli-day—“ it was kept
tip in great porup and splendor ; the Princess-
es and all the Ladies of Honour were dressed
in the richest style, the eldest had jewels on
her to the amount of-100,000 pounds sterling;
the Lords and Gentleineu were all in their
full court-attire; and, in fact such I! display
of grandeur and magnificence was never‘ be-
fore seen on a man of war’s qtiarter deck--a
King and all the Ministry ofthe Nation on
board, and the Council held in the ward room
London, June t‘.--Much nonsense has been
lately said about Iturbide. Some papers say
that the vessel in which he sailed, cleared _out
for Demerara. \Ve, however, are now at lib-
erty to state, that her first destination is not
for Demarara, but for New-Orleans.
PA-ius, May 3l.—-The flight oflturbide for
Illex-ico, and disasters-experienced by Bolivar
in Peru, are events so important that the is-
sue of the question of the Spanish Americans
may be even now foretold. Six months ago
every thing announced calamities for the pen-
insula. Bolivar victorious,jealous ofthe glo-
ry acquired by San Martin, wisherl to give
laws to Peru, and make himself master of S.
America. Europe believed that it was done.
In Mexico, the fall ofthis same Iturbide,a-
midst the aclainations of his subjects,’ and the
establishment of a republic, made it believed
that the new government was founded on im-
Those who are al- .
nioveable bases, and the intleperidence——ofI\’.
America was not doubted’ of an "more than
the fortune of Bolivar, which was to dim the
glory of the Pizarros. = -~ A
'l‘o men who know both Americas, their re-
al resources, their love to the mother country,
to those who have been actors in the events of
the last ten years, nothing is itiore melancholy
than to hear the language used in Europe on
the events of America-—the greatness which
is sought to be attached to men and events,‘
and on the result of the struggle which was in
progress between Spain and her transmai;-_ine
possessions. The circumstance which in
their opinion could decide the question, was
. the recognition ofthe independence of the-
rebel governments by the maritime powers of
Europe--and they allowed Spain to act.
England alone took the initiative by diplo-
matic notes and Parliamentary discussions,
and by the mission ofCoustils or Commission-
ers to examine whether the established Gov-
ernments had such a character ofstability that
it might be permitted to acknowledge them as
legitimate. But at the same time she declar-
ed iinprescriptible the rights of Spain on the
Americas, and the strictest neutrality as to the
efforts which Ferdinand should make to get
possession of them again. , '
The defeat of Bolivar will make known the
stability ofthe Government of Peru, and the
brave Viceroy, La Serna, will be able to re-
ceive in Lima the English Comtnissioners, if
they have gone there.
In a short time the arrival in the Pacific of
the Spanish ship of the line Asia, and 2 other
vessels of war, which sailed from Cadiz in
January last, will be known. Can it be sup-
posed that at the moment when the Spaniards
are victorious in Peru and masters of the sea,
when the existence ofthe Governments of S.
America is again probleinatical-—that at this
moment England is to recognize their inde-
pendence? It is impossible; it would be in
opposition to the principles published for the
world in full Parliament.
The satne is the case with respectto Mexi-
co. VVhen the English Government sent its
Commissioners there, there was one republic
(probably indivisible ;) now the number of
them is unknown. If Iturbide be believed,
there are those of Mexico, of Guatimala, of
New-Gallicia, of Oxaca, of Yucatan, and
Queretoro, and other countries. The utmost
the English Commissioners can do, will be to
run through these countries in all haste, and
learn the names ofthe individuals who govern
them. To complete this state of anarchy,
the Ex-Emperor is gone to carry thither his
fury and vengeance. Can England decently
recognise such a confusion as legitimate? It
would be insulting to that Government on ma-
ny accounts, barely to raise the question,
whether the government ofthe person who
has escaped from Southampton would be re-
cognised by her. It appears then to us (leci-
ded, that the recognition which has been so
much talked of, must be adjourned to an inde-
terminate epoch, and that it will be left to
Spain to prove to Europe, that the assurance
given b_v the Cabinet of Madrid, in its last
riote to Sir IV. A’Court, will be fulfilled :—
This assurance is—‘ that Spain without for-
eign aid will be able to make herself mistress
of her posscssiousin America.’
. Itis not to be presumed that England, like
a too famous authority, would by a law set a
fixed time on the duration ofa civil war,which
in no way approaches to its termination.
LATER.--By an arrival at N. York on the
Qlst, London papers to the l1tliJune are re-
ceived, from which we learn that a change of
Ministry has taken place in France, but not
such as was expected. Chateaubriand,the
minister regarded as the bead ofthe ultra roy-
alist party, has been dismissed from the Cab-
inet. Villele, holds ad interim, the office of
Foreign Affairs. The cause and consequen-
ces ofthis change do not appear to be coni-
prehended by the London editors. Some of
them intimate that it will produce a favorable
result, Chateaubriand being, they say, an ad-
vocate for the Russian policy, and Villele
friendly to the liberal" policy of England.-
Tlie Morning Chronicle concludes some re-
marks on the subject by saying, ‘ We may rest
assured that whatever party prevail in France,
it will be hostile to the catise of good govern-
ment in every part ofthe world, and that the
same objects will still be sought after, tho’ by
different’ means,——the one giving a preference
to violence, the other to'fraud.’ ,
A petition ofthe merchants of London, in
favor ofthe independence ofthe S. American
States, was to be presented to the H. of Com-
inons on the flth, by Sir J. Mackintosh. .
The Infante Don Miguel of Portugal, has
landed at Brest.
Accounts from Sierra Leone to Feb. 14,
had reached England, atwhich time no ac-
counts had" been rec’d of Sir. Chas.M’Carthy.
The long continuance of dry weather, we
are concerned to find,is beginning to threaten
the most serious mischief in various districts
ofthe country, but especially in this neigh-
borhood‘. 'I-‘he hay will not be worth the ex-
pense of gathering-—and the potatoe crop will
be greatly retarded and ultimately very defi-
cient without speedy relief.-Liverpool,Ju-ne 12.
Lisbon letters state that orders have been
given for dismantling the ships intended for
the expedition to Brazil, all idea of such an
undertaking being withdrawn, in consequence
tling the dispute between the two countries.
London, June 1I.—A fire broke out in th
sitting room ofCarlton Palace on the evening
ofJune 8tli,'and destroyed the whole interior
ofthe room with all the furniture and embel-
lishments, including several fine paintings and
portraits. The King, in looking around the
‘palace after the fire, was taken into custody
by a- watchman, who not knowing him, iut’iin-
ated pretty plainly that his majesty had come
there for no" good purpose.
PARIS, June 7‘.——In 189.4%, M. de Chateau-
hriaiid is again deprived of office, and it is by
M. de Villele and Corbiere, become Minis-
ters, that he is sacrificed. VVhat is singular,
in E816, lie was punished for having spoken-
ln 1324, he is punished for having retnained
silent, His crime is’ having remained silent
in thc discussion on the law of the Rents.-
All disgraces are notmisfortttnes. Public 0-
pinion, the supreme judge, will teach us in
what class we must place that of'M. de Cha-
teaubriand ; it will teach us, also, whether the
Ordonnance ofthe day will have been most fa-
tal to the victor or variquislied.Jour.tle.s Debuts.
M. de Cliateanbriand, on repairing yester-
day to the Tuilleries, found, it is said, the
doors, which used to open at his approach,
‘for the renewal ofthe Chamber of Deputies
-into cash on the Stock Exchange. With this
of negociations going on in London for setg
shut against him ; silence’ and solittide pre-
vailed during his passage, which "used to be
through aneager crowd. Before "he could
comprehend themeaning of this melancholy
.cliange,a Hussier approached and informed
him, that a packet to his address had_ been
carried to his hotel. M. de Chateaubriand
hastened liome, atidfound the letter, announ-
cing his rlestitution. A grand dinner, which.
was to take place the same day, was immedi-
atcly counternianded.‘ M. de Chateaubriand
quitted at the same time the hotel ofthe Min-
istry, to the great disappointment of all those
whom curiosity or malice brought in the eve-
ning to_ see how the Ex-ininister supported his
disgrace. The choice ofa successor to M.de
Chateaubriand is now the subject of every
conjecture. M. de Poligiiac who was desig-
nated as his successor three days ago, is now
hardly spoken of. - It is believed_also, that M.
de Chateaubriand will not quit the Ministry
alone ; M. de Villele has, it is said, the en-
trance ofM. de Martignac much at hcart.—-
They speak also of the creation of 40 Peers,
and the immediate presentation ofa new pro-
ject oflaw, to operate a reduction in the Re-
mes. To crown these strilting marks offa-
vour granted to M. de Villele, it is said he is
to receive the titleof-Duke. The Congrega-
tion utters loud cries respecting the dismissal
of M. de Chateaubriand ; it is preieiided that
it views this measure as an act of hostility a-
gainst itself; in this view, the withdrawing of
the law relative to crimes cotntiiitied in cliur—
ches, is not without importance.-—Cour.E'aiz.
STILL L-r’iTEI‘{.—By an ar. at N. York,
on the 9.°2d-, London papers to the 16th ult. are
received.
A bill has been brought into Parliament to
enable the India Company to send ships direct
from China, with tea and other Chinese pro-
ductions, to any of the British colonies or
plantations in America. _
For several weeks we have had no rain,
which began to produce complaint among
the farmers. On Sunday, however, in the
evening, a gentle rain descended ; it increas-
ed during the night, and has continued, for
the most part, ever since. It is superfluous to
add, that the change will prove salutary to the
vegetable kingdom.—Lt'vei-pool, June 16.
The bill for extending the duration of the
Chamber of Parliament in France to the pe-
riod of five years, instead of seven years, and
integrally instead ofby fifths, has been carried
by a majority, there being 299. votes to 87.
The presentation of the Lotidon petition
relative to S. Atnerica, was postponed.
Mr. Brougham was assaulted in the anti-
chamber ofthe H. ofConirnons, by Mr. Gout-
lay, formerly ofUpper Canada. Goutlay was
cointnitted for a breach of privilege. It seem-
ed 10 be conceded that he was insane.

Nothing further ofimportance has transpi-
red in Paris, since the removalofChateaubri_-
and. Private letters state that M. D. Villele
is supported by the king, and he feels confi-
dent that he has nothing to fear from the has-
tility or the intrigues ofhis late colleague.-
The Quotidienne has been ordered not to in-
sert a single article containing the name ofthe
discarded minister. It is mentioned as a sin-
gular fact that Fouche once thought it neces-
sar_v to prescribe the same name.
The destruction ofthe arsenal at Cairo is
confirmed, but sotne accounts state that nei-
ther fire nor the plague will hinder theVic‘eroy
from giving the Porte the promised assistance.
Portsmouth, June l?'£.—About fifty tons of
specie, (principally gold) has been shipped in
the Sparrowliawk, 18, for the Brazilian Gov-
ernment. The Sparrowhawlt will proceed
immediately for-Rio Janeiro.
Paris, June 11.--A thick cloud, seems still
to cover the true cause of the events which
have occurred atLisbon. It may, however,
be asserted that this species of revolution of
which the Journals have spoken in such dif-
ferent manners, would have brought about ex-
traordinary things if it had been completed ;
but Providence had ordered it differently.-
There exist in Portugal, as in Spain, two very
distinct parties among the Royalists.‘ The
1st desires to restore the ancient regime, and
the £’.d‘wishes to have a liberal Monarchy. In
Portugal the Queen, Don Miguel, the Patri-
arch oftbe Indies, and the upper Clergymen
were at the head ofthe former ; and in Spain,
the Infant Don Carlos and his wife, daughter
ofthe Queen of Portugal, D. Victor Saez,
Mataflorida,and others. The other was head-
ed, in Portugal, by the Marquess ofPalrnc la;
and in Spair , by M. Ugarte, a person entirely
devoted to Russia, and who, at the_ present
moment, executes the secret orders of.VI.Poz-
zi di Borgo. The former desires the re-es-
tablishruent of the Inqtiisition, and the extir-
pation of all sects which are the enemies‘ of
Monarchy, and the prompt and severe pun-
ishment ofthe Revolutionists. The latterde-
sires to dress in the modern garb two ancient’
monarchies, to be mild towards the guilty,and
shew an example of tolerance. The former
party is theniost numerous and the niostpow_-
erful, for it is composed of the clergy and the
mass ofthe people. The same thing which
has happened in Portugal, would have taken
place in Spain, but for the presence ofthe ar-
my of Occupation ; and in the former king-
dom the blow only failed, because the Infante
was unable to bend the will of his father, who
is much attached to Palniellal.‘ and to the Di-
plomatic Corps. This determined the young
Pritice to" give in to the will ofthe King, that
_he might not be guilty of disobedience. The
fire however still remains concealed in the
ashes, and it is to be feared’ that sooner or lat-
_er we shall see the attempt renewed which
Lisbon has witnessed-.
“ An Arabian Fanatic has appeared in Up-
- per Egypt, who gives himselfout for the Visir,
or the Precursor of the Prophet El Mokodi,
rwho died a thousand years ago. This Chief
has’ collected a ‘numerous band under his
standard, and has marched frotn Kossein to
Kinnah on the Nile, of which he has made
himself master. The‘ Pacha has caused the
corps of troops which occupied Sioul to marclf
, Fiiont Arnicii.-_A' letter from an Eiiglishl
captain who left the African Coast abouttlie
t'st_o'fApr,il, states that the cause of the war
betweeii the English and the Ashantees, was
the issuing of orders by Sir C. M’Carthy to
form the natives..iu_to a militia, and put them
under military discipline, which orders they
refused to obey. Sir Charles immediately
proceeded to Elrnina, thinking that his pre-
sence would awe them into subjecti‘ou,_ but
found they coutititied refractory. He then
put himself at the head ofthe few Europeans
he could muster, and marched against them;
but the villainy of the agent for military stores
in robbing the cartridges of their contents and
filling tlietn with rubbish, was the cause of
their being entirely defeated, and all ofthetn
butcliered ; the uatives,directly after the bat-
tle, liavitig struck their heads off.
MEXICO.—-Papers from the city of Mex-
ice to June 10th, have been received at Pliil-
adelphia, which confirm the former accounts
ofthe existence and detection of the conspir-
acy in favor of Itnrbide. Twenty-two con-
spirators were taken by the soldiery, while in
conclave at the house ofone of the party,and
the party, and their correspondence and all
their papers seized. . The ofiicial -papers
were headed “ God, Iiidepeiidence, and the
Hero of lgtiata.” " -
A-‘woman acted as secretary. On the en-
trance ofthe soldiers, she tore from one ofthe
papers "the sign-manual of her husband, who
was not present, and swallowed in order to
destroy the evidence against him. Two of
them had been sentenced to death,one to loss
ofrank and five years exile, and the remain-
der to perpetual banisliment.--—.N'.Y. Slates.
~ A letter ofGeneral Riucon to a member of
the Sovereign Congress, dated 26th ofMay,
gave the following information :
‘ On the 28d inst. a French brig ofwar, fr.
Martinique, anchored at Sacrificios; it brings
a Mr. Samuel as a Commissioner from the
French Gov’t. to ours, to establish mutual re-
lations of friendship and trade. This errand
was stated to me by the Commissioner bitu-
self, who came to see me yesterday. I ex-
pressed to him the satisfaction which Ideriv-
ed from it, since it indicated that France
would not assist Spain in her foolishplaus of
re-conquest.”
On the lst ofJune, the Mexican Secretary
for Foreign Affairs, communicated to the
S'o‘vei'eign Congress the fact ofthe arrival of
the French agent, together with a letter ofthe
Governor ofMartinique,reconimeuding him to
the Gen. of the Mexican troops at Vera Cruz.
The French Cabinet are either playing a
dotible game ofperfidy, or a treacherous one
to Mexico alone. Their cominissioner is, in
all likelihood, a spy and emissary. Such an
errand as that which he professed to have,
was essentiallyat variance with the principles,
hopes, and views, announced in all the min-
isterial papers of Paris, anti ascribed to the
French King by the Spanish gov’t. \Ve give
credit more readily to the contents of the un-
nexed extract of a letter fr. Paris.—JV'at.Gaz.
‘Pari's,JlIa_y 30.——The plan which has been
resolved on to sow divisions among the inde-
pendent States of South Ainerica, in order to
destroy their liberty, is followed up with the
most active zeal. The Freucli Cabinet has
received the report of its agent in Mexico,wh‘o
has informed it that all the necessary meas-
ures are taken to carry into effect a counter
revolution within the shortest delay possible.
Pecuniary seduction has been very successful
with a great number of discontented oflicers.
The jealousy which exists between the citi-
zeus and soldiers has done much to increase
the ill-will of the latter towards the Republic.
The greater part ofthe Priests are closely u-
iiited with Europe by the Catholic doctrines,
and they regard themselves as equally bound
to acknowledge the dominion of the King of
Spain and the supremacy of the Pope. In
Mexico superstition has as great influence as
in Spain, and the people of the colonies are
as fanatical as those ofthe mother country.-
But not to leave any thing to chance, the Cab-
inets of France and Spain have encouraged
Iturbide to return to Mexico. Without now
entering into the question whether this ambi-
tiotis man has not merely pretended to pro-
tnote the interests of Spain, in order to make
this a stepping-stone to re-mount the Throne,
from which his fellow citizens made him do-
scend, it is certain that his arrival will render
the state of the country still more complica-
ted, and deliver it up to such serious disturb-
ances, that it will then be easy to begin new
intrigues, and conduct them to a termination
agreeable to the views of tlie Holy Alliance.’
From the Natio-nol Gazette.
Vile have received advices frotn. Hayti to
the 3d inst. ‘inclusive. It was believed there
that the three commissioners who had sailed
for France sotnetnontlis before, in order to
negotiate a’ recognition of independence,
would succeed in their mission. The proc-
lamations ofthe President Boyer, relative to
preparatiotis for an attack, 31.0. were supposed
to be mere feints to second the negotiation.-—
We remark an elaborate attempt in the Hay-
tien Journal, Le Propageteur, to persuade this
country that it ought to acknowledge the isl-
and in form. At the same tiinetlie Haytieu
objections to the step which he recommends.
He betrays an interest in the modification or
abolition ofnegro slavery in the UnitedStates,
which is not calculated to promote his object
of acknowledggement.
Jamai'ca..—From Jamaica papers of the
23d ult. it appears that the blacks had formed
another plan for insurrection, but which was
fortunately discovered in time to prevent its
execution. As soon as they found their plan
was discovered a large number of them left
went into the woods. They have since corri-
mitted some depredations, and burnt several
houses. The troops on the Island are under
arms and have succeeded in taking seven of
the insurrectionists. The insurrection will
doubtless be quelled for the present ; but we
fear the time is not far distant, when not on-
ly Jamaica, btit all the W’. I. Islands, will ex-
hibit a most terrible aspect; for these slaves
will obtain their freedom sooner or later, cost
what it may.

The Slave TI'ade.-—-Tlie following may
serve to show the manner in which this ‘trade
is now carried on from Havana. It never-
twelve new vessels were fitting. out to ‘carry it
on, at our latest advices from that port.
A letter dated at Havana Jtine 26, says-
‘A brig arrived a few days since with 406 ne-
groes, captured on the coast ofBrazil, under
the Brazilian flag, by the Spanish privateer
Romano, belonging to this port, and sent
here for adjud_ication. ’Tis said that two hun-
dred died the first night of her arrival of the
yellow fever!’ .
Now, the meaning of all this is—tliat the
owners oftlieslavevessel fitted out a pi-ivateer,
or bargained. with some one who had a com-
tuission as such, to capture the slave ship and
send her to Havana, ‘ for adjudication,’ by
which means she was secured from seizure

happen to be on the coast, and, when she ar-
rived at Havana, the slaves were smuggled.’

Slave Tradc.—Wc have conversed with a
gentleman who left the Havana on the eighth
inst. who informs that there are no less than
eleven fast-sailing vessels well-ariued, fitting
out for the Coast for Negroes-—intending to
take advantage ofthe rainy season, when ur-
med vessels are fearful of visiting the Coast
on account ofthe sickness which prevails at
that period. He also states, tliatgreat alarm
existed inconsequeuce of the pirates again
bound on the batik, 14 were missing, and as it
was ascertained, two were taken by the pir-
ates, it was apprehended, the others had met
with the same fate. The Spanish fleet had
sailed 5 days previous in pursuit of the Co-
lombian fleet. To man the. Spanish tieet. a
general impresstnent had taken place in the
Havana ; from the medley of the crew, there
was every appreliensioti that they would be
captured by theColombiaris, should they come
to action. A slave ship had arrived there as
has been before mentioned, and, it is true that
178 had been reported to have died in twenty
four hours—this, however, was false, as they
were smuggled on shore, and to evade duties,
had been reported as dead——in fact a healthi-
er set of blacks had never before arrived in
the Havana. There was was no U. S. vessel
on the Coast.
I’iracy appears to be carried on as exteri-
sively as ever. On the 9th of June a French
tom and crew set on shore in an entirely des-
titute situation. The brig was afterwards—re-
captured (with 1-1 of the pirateson board) by
a Mexican armed sclir. The vessel-of the pi-
rates has also been since taken by an Eng-
lish brig ofwar, near"to Lake dc Ferminos,
but the pirates escaped.
