an u.nbroken silence, and keeping steadily-
on, ha"rl"the'cfl‘ect to draw the fire from a

again, through her rigging and spars, and in
a thrice the mainjtop gallant mast was flying
into shivers, while those -in the fort, seeing
the effect produced, sent up a hearty and pro-
longed shout. b . .‘ -
‘ Ay, yell away I’ _muttcrcdCaptainI-Iecate,

They had now- gained‘ the current ol_'the.

from the battery on Sanbro’ light; and al-
though the exposure 'woulc_l;be for only a few
minutes, 3,-eplmiving run through ,all. and.be-
ing crippled after having reached the sea,
was :1 misfortune, -from which all fervently
prayed they might escape. It wquld. seem
as if Fortune had espoused the side of this
gallant vessel, and determined to carry her
afelv through; for after ii few ineffectual
shots from the S-.inbro' -battery, she was far
out on the boundless ocean, free from farther
molestation, and as staunch and tight as ever,
The broken top-gallant mast was soon re-
placed by a temporary spar; and the_ brig,
after standing for some distance out, in an
easterly direction, hauled her course, and
bounded onward on her outward voyage.
After getting fairly in blue water. and
seeing that things were in ship shape, Capt.
Hecate proposed to Mr. Barnett and his
clerk to leave the deck in charge ofthe mate,
and spend an hour over a bottle of wine in
the cabin. It required but little pursuasion
to inducetbem to acquiesce; and according-
ly they were soon seated around the small
circuliar table, indulging in the unrestrained
freedom of convival mirth.
‘Gentlemen, said Captain Hecate, as he
uncorked the third bottle, ‘allow me to give
you "a sentiment : “ May England be more
successful in-most of_ her imdertakings, than
her loyal subjects have been in endcavoring
to catch our gallant bark!’ ’
Amid the applause of his companions, the
toast was tossed off, while he continued:
' And alsoiallow me to say. that when the
lion of her coat of arms shall rouse itself
in—.----' I
.3, ‘ Brig ahoy 1’ -- '
Down came, Captain Hecat’s clenched fist
upon the table, with an emphasis that made
the glassesjingle and rattle again with the
"concussion.
‘ There they are again! We havn’t sha-
ken ‘em off yet 1' he exclaimed, springing up
the cofbpanion way, and upon deck, just as
the second liail.,accompanied by the report of
a heavy gun, fired to leeward, was borne to
them over the waters, from a large vessel
lyiu<_r_a short distance off One. glam-.«-. um:
sutficient to assure him that it was aiman 0-
war frigate, ofthe largest. class; and by the
lanterns that illuminated her whole row of
broadside guns, be perceived that they were
manned and ready. and that resistance would
be altogether useless. Seizing the speaking
trumpet, therefore he answered:
‘ ‘Brig Growler of I-I-alif-ax '3’
There was a pause ofa few minutes, and
then the same voice again hailed them:
‘ VVhe're from .7--andwherc bound ?—-and
wbat's your cargo .7’
‘From Halifix into New York, with a
cargoofsugars and coffee for the peace mar-
ket.'
‘ Viell, heave to, and we'll send a boat a-
board.
As there was no alternative, Captain He-
cate was forced to give the order for backing
the top sails, and laying the brig to, until
the bozitshould board them. He knew that
if his papers were shown, instant capture
must inevitably ensue; as with documents
purporting him to be from l\'1al:iga to Hali-
fax, he was, with all the sail his brig could
carry, running directly away from Halifax,
and had also replied totheir hail that he was
bound to New York. How should be pro-
duce the necessary clearance, in case it was
demanded I How account for the absence
of it? He knew not, and he therefore rack-
ed his ingenuity, in the hopes that he might
be able to discover some means by whichihe
might extricate birnself, and escape without
forfeiture, which surely would bethe conse-
quence ofdetection. The moon,which a pass,

‘ So much the bettcr— so much the better,’

The Lieutenant was prodigal of thanks,
and the very pink of politeness, when the
present had been tendered, accepted, and
stowed in the boat.

l\'1otionless, Captain Hecate watched the

giving the signal. were to him almost mo-

derer of Brown’s _fa.m.~ilg/. -—This wretched
man suffered the awful penalty ofthe law,
at Huntington, Pa. on tho Gib inst. The
closing circumstances of his guilty and mis-
erable career were peculiar; down to the
hour of his exec-stion, nay to the very mo-
ment the drop fell, he stubbornly persisted in
asserting his innocence. All hope of his
making any acknowledgment was entirely
removed by his dogged conduct. He was ta-
ken upon t_he scaffold-—every thing adjusted
—tlie moment arrived—the drop fell !——and
not a word confessed. But the rope broke.
and instead of hanging, very much to his as-
touisliment,we suppose,he found liimselfupon
the ground, under the gallows! He thought
he was "clear ;” but the illusion was pres-
ent with him but a moment. He was imme.
diately taken upon the gallows again-cvi-n
ry thing made read_v—the drop about to fall
-—whcn be begged for “time to talk a little,”
and proceeded "to make full and detailed
confession of his crime to the clergvmen
presont,wbo reduced to writing in his own
words, and will cause it to be 'publisherl.——
His confession. it is sriid, casts deeper & dark-
er shades ofcruelty over the bloody afliiir,
He had scarcely concluded bisconfcssion.

be delayed arrived and he was again swiing

Bishops H. U. Ondcrdorrk, Moore and Brow-

ages within certain degrees of consanguinit

one of much importance, the case of marry.

that a pamphlet has been published in Eng-

PRINCE LOUIS NAPOLEON.
The judgement ofthe Courtof Peers was
notified to Prince Louis Napoleon by M.
Cauchy, Secretary of the Archives, whose
emotion was, it is said, so great at times that
he could scarcely proceed. VVhen he arrived
at the conclusion, pronouncing the punish-
ment of 1iI)7]77"‘ISO’/l7)767l-I perpetual, the Prince,
we are informed, observed his agitation. ‘It
has been said, sir, in former days, that the
'word'7}m7iossibl‘e was not French. and we.
may on this occasion make the. declaration
as to the word yrcrpct-ircli,’ ‘
Immediately after thejudgmcnt ofthc Court
of Peers was pronounced, the registar went
tothe prison ofthi-Liixcinburg, and read it to
those there acquitted as well as to those con-
dcmued. On learning that he was senten-
cud to perpetual irriprisonmeiit in a for_ti‘ess
within the continental tt-ri'itoi‘ies of France,
Prince Napoleon observed: ‘Tllzlt is bad
cnou-_1rh, but at least I shall not be obliged to
l(?t1\’0TFI‘i11’lCCI’ According to the same re-
ports,‘Count ll-lontholon expressed <-xtrcim:
surprise at his sentence of close confinement
for twenty years, and was very much cast
down, having to the moment preserveda con
fl(.lL‘lll. hope that he would be acquitted. Livnf.

RESIGN.-\'I'lOt\’ OF 'l‘llE FRI‘)-NCII
bl INISTRY.
This event took place on the. 22d of Octo-
bv:-r, not iiiicxpcctt-dly except as to time: it
was looked for, but not l.)(‘fO1‘t’.ll‘.emt’C’lln;1
of the Chambers. The immediate cause is
said to have been a differ?-rice of opinion be-
tween the king and M. Thicrs, in relation to
the speech from the throne. Tho particu-
lars are thus given by the correspondent of
the Times: -
On Thursday night a CabinctCouncil was
held at St. Cloud, under the presidency of
the King, to consider the terms of the speech
with which it was proposed that his l\‘lajrs-
ty should open the session oftlie Charnbers
The passage in it which referred to the cri-
sis that has been produced by the treaty of
the 15th ofluly was couched in ti-rnzs of
hostility, defiance, and even of menace. On
this the King observed, that it would be
highly incxperlierit to introduce into the dis-
course expressions calculated to alter the pa-
cific character which the Eastern question
had within a few days assumed. M. 'l'hit-rs
persisted in his view of the subject. contend-
ing, with much unirnation, that it was neces-
sary Francc should assert her independence
and maintain llt.‘l' rank in the world.
The King agreed with him in that senti-
ment, but remained of opinion, that ‘ the pro-
posed mode ofdeclaring it was objectionable
and dangerous.’ Passing to nnoihr-r para-
graph iii the (lriiugbt ofhis speech, in which
dirt-ctrefei't-rice was made to Egypt and Me-
l1t‘l1i('l. Ali, Admiral Roussin, minister of ma.
rine, cl‘-jectcd that it went to bind France to
the maiutainance oftl.egovernmentofEgypt
in the family of Mt-liemct Ali forever,’ that
‘nobody ever heard of herditary claims to a
Pachalic or Government by any subject of
the Porto; that ‘ with the possessor perished
the office,’ &c. These arguments were con-
curred in by the King. and supported by the
ministers of war and finance (General Cu-
I)l('TI9Sfl1'l(l i\l.Pt-let dc laLozerrc,)and,at mid-
niglit, M. Thit-rs resigned.
.Marshal Soult was sent for by the King,
and a new ministry was formed as follows:
M. Guizot, Foreign Afiiiirs.
M. Dutcliatel, Interior.
M. Humann, Finance.
M. Villemain, Public Instruction.
M. Martin (du Nerd.) Justice.
‘Admiral Duperre, Marine. _
M. Cunin Gridaine, Commerce.
M. Tcsle, Public “7orks. ’
' Another account says that the 'differenc
between the King and M. Thiers was not up-
on thctone of the speech,-but upon a distrinct
proposition introduced into it, fora vote sanc-
tioningafarther addition ofsome l00,000men _
.t.o‘tbe,arm '; this the ’King -‘objected. 10, as

and'th‘c ministar persisted. .

London, Nov. 3.——Madrid journals and let-
'ters of the 22d ult. are chiefly occupie
with accounts ofthe departure of the Queen
Mother and her parting interview with her
two daughters,which is described as extreme-
ly affecting. She is said to have fainted
twice before she bade them adieu. .
The Queen is said to have taken leave of
Esp-ariero, when she left Valencia. with the I
bittcrest -~reproaches_—._of his perfidy. Her
Majesty ascribed all her enibarrassments to
his rii:icliiniitions, and vented her indignation
"‘ Your conduct towards me,” said she, "is
“U;l]p;Irt,l0I1i1l,)l(’ ; , for 1 have ever treated you‘
“with the utmost kindness,and raised you in
“succession in rank of Court of Luchana, of

A letter dated Paris, and published in the
Journal de Loiret, states that " it was report-
t-‘d in the best informed circles, that an abdi-
cation was considered inevitable, and that
even the day was mentioned on which this
event was to be made public.
