from oor corespondent exhibit a lively
picture of this melancholly catastrophe.]
•"he night was clear and mil<!„
And the breeze went so softly by.
And the stars of Heaven smil’d
’• their lannis! lit up the sky,
And there rode a gallant ship on the
wave.
Hut may a hapless wight
Slept the sh cp of death that night,
And before the morning light
found a grave.
All were sunk in soft repose,
Save the watch upon the deck ;
’Mot rboding tin »m arose
Os tire horrors ot a wreck,
To the mother, or the child, or the sire
Till a shriek of woe profound,
f.ike ft (Lari -knell, echo’d round,
u un a wild andfltsottd sound,
Crying fire !
Mow the flames ore spreading fast--
Wills resistless rage they fly.
Up the shrouds, and up the mast,
And arc flickering to the sky;
Now the dock is alia blaze ; now the
rails—
There’s no place to the rest their feet;
Tore nnd aft the torches meet,
And a winged lightening sheet,
Arc the sails.
J4o one heard their cries of woe
tint the sen bird, that flew by ;
There was hurrying two and fro,
Jut no hand to save w.iS nigh.
Still before the burning foe they wcr e
driven-.
Last farewells were uttered there,
With a wild and srozdn atiue;
And a short and broken prayer
Sent to-Heaven,
Some lenp over in tha flood
To the death that waits them there;
•* Othen quench the flames with blood,
And * xpirc in open air:
Some u moment tocscapc from the
(fi-ave,
On the bowrprit lake n stand s
Hut there dcatli is near at hand—
Soon they hug the burning brand
On the wave.
#tom his briny ocean bed,
When the morning aim awoke,
Lo, that gallant ship had fled !
And usable cloud cf smoke
Was the monumental pyre that re
mained,
slut the sea gulls round it fly
With a quick and fearful cry ;
And the brands, that floated by,
Plood had stained MKM NON

Speech of the President of the Uni

“ The king’s speeches arc a cold,
lifeless Lcesing heap of materials,
put ton-ether in the most clurnsv man-
I f - * ,
ncr, and only calculated to lower the
literary character of the nation:—
Never did America rise so trium
phantly (.» she does to day in the
perse n of the President, Mr. Monroe
—cairn, dignified, simple, and unaf
fected—as if to represent toe giant
greatness ofthe country of which he
is the respected head, in the best and
most suitable manner—he goes on
with all the solemnity of a statesman,
, looking dowu upon the world from
an immencc elevation, neither to he
agitate! nor intimidated by the
storms (hat blow beneath*
Americans breathing the air o(
, freedom, exhibits a great people, in
the enjoyment of the utmost latitude
of thought, and the mod uudounded
liberty of expression of that thought,
and the most unbounded liberty ol
expression of that thought which (he
, most /ycajous advocate of human lib
erty can by possibility wish for.
There every man may speak his mind
of the government lie lives tinder,
without the hazard of an ex-officio
information. T here, the greater the
?; truth told by the political writer the
greater his justification, and the more
certain his ti iunmb. Th»n* the »-v.
etutive can do wrong, and esn be as
sailed with impunity by (he press,
when (lie wrong is committed.—
i’hi re the public is protected by a
~ress which can only be silenced by
removing the evil complained of.
There truth and falsehood find their
proper level—the calumniator who
5 makes charges he is unable to sup
port. is abandoned by public < pinion
; •—What! Mr. Attorney tiencral, can
tin's be the fact, nnd still, no insur
rections, no violations the public
peace—no treason—no danger to
the order of tilings as -established bv
law—no disaffection— an everlasting
peace produced by the very means
which our sages assert could only
produce everlasting discontent; yet.
most true it is, that the extreme li
berty of the press in America
prevents those evils which a re
stricted press in Kngland invariably
produces. In England, the peo
ple and their, friends are abused to
the most insulting and exasperating
terms, and (lie press which defends
■ that people is t<> <l»o rod of
the attorney genera), because it mere
ly repels the blow, and throws back
un power the language which is used
against (he people. What is the con
sequence? That the public heart
lias no ventilator—it experiences no
relief-dieontent and disaffection
follow, and the government and
people are arrayed against each
other w ith a relentless and unforgiv
ing adi mushy. It is this -Liberty of
the press and freedom of Thought in
•’'tncvica, which insure the responsi
bility of government. It is this which
gives Mr. Monroe’s speech the char
rctor it. pro-sesos of simple unsophisti
cated truth—laying before bis coun
try, in an hotiesland ingenuous tone,
the entire political map neither con
cealing nor exaggerating—full of
confidence in the strength of (he
country, ns long as lie possesses ,a
constitution which calls ail its ener
gies, physical and intalectuul, info
a (ion; but no further. The people
of England are ju'essed down by a
lead ol taxation, vvnicli almost de
prives ihe majority of the necessaries
of life—either excessive luxury ot
excessive distress—a meek follower
ol Christ in the possession of twenty
thousand' per annum, and thousands
1 around him struggling from morning
to night to provide for the day that is
• passing over them and their children
—millions raised by taxes on the
most valuable portion ofthe couuun
nit? to pay placemen or pensioners,
either for services which never were
rendered, or for (he daily prostitu
tion ol (heir conscientious opinions—
a set of ministers distinguished for
their determination to multiply their
dependents by the perpetual creation
of new places and new sinucures*—
economy laughed at—a standing ar
my considered a sine qua non, with
out which the nation could n*'t be
governed--a magistracy armed at all
points to interrupt the'right of peti
tion, and by one species of manoeu -
ver or other to extinguish the public
spirit. Such is the picture which
England has offered to the observa
tion ot America; and yet, if the prin
ciples of the British Constitution
were honestly acted upon, if the spi
nt as well as the forms of that Con
stitution were preserved, we .doubt if
the Americans could display greater
sincerity of al cgiance than English
men are inclined to yield to the faith
ful and honest administrator* of the
Constitution, as Blackstone and De
Loime have described it.
( The general spirit of Mr. Men
ia kind am’ coaeiiialo*! 1
rv; it candidly admits the {srea( com
mercial distress under which Ameri
ca, in common with the European
world, has suffered} and it draws
from that distress a wHolsesonse and
instructive lesson on the necessity
and expediency of economy. It dis
plays a warm anxiety for the most
pacific intercourse with the nations
of Kurope, and manifests an honora
ble sympathy with thu late and for
tunes ot South America. It appears
from Mr. Monroe, that nothing is left
undone by trie United States to el
ect, cooperation with Europeans pow -
ers, t'.e complete establishment of
South American freedom. Nodoubt
any other t (induct would be disgrace
ful and inglorious, But the most
distinguishing feature in this, very in
teresting message of Mr. Monroe is
the rapid redaction of the national
debt. While the ministe.s of Eng
land are borrowing money ti feed
(heir placemen and pay their army,
(he American statesmen arc paying
off their national debt, mincing (heir
establishments and practising econ
omy in every department. Why this
dillcr/Mice between the two countries?
i —Because, in America, (he Covern
: incut and Legislature are (hf repre
-1 sentatives of the people—in England
, the Legislature are the representa
-1 tives of the ministers and their
■ friends- In America, if the public
- interest were sacrificed to a part, and
. that a small part of the nation, the
! authors would, as Mr. Chile, ol Nor
, folk, said, be tukan by (lie shoulders
, and turned out. But in England,
; j things are so managed that all the
», forms of liberty are prescribed, and
* all i's essentials are sacrificed —and
, until ihc people obtain Kuch a weight
. in the Legislature as Reform would
, ( fleet, it is quite idle to sup. osc that
. those who profit by the plunder will
be the first to reliuquish the mode of
obtaining it. There never was a
King so easily made popular and
powerful as the present king of Eng
land: Those who know him best,
assert, that in the private intercourse
of the (able, there is no warmer advo
cate of (he principals of the Constitu
tion; and that the circumstances a
lone in which lie is unfortunately
placed, induce him to continue those
men in power who have struggled so
hard to rob their master of (he affec
tions of his subjects—There is an in
ternal cabinet which sways every
thing—moves all the puppets who
play their parts before us. and exer
cise a pernicious control over the
feelings and councils of (he King,
which wars w ith his own nature and
contravene his own inclination. To
see a King so'circuiiisi l '” 00 * 1 must be
a subject of sorrow to every reflect
ing mind in the empire—but to A
in erica how does it appear; The
picture we will not now attempt to
draw.
Baltimoiie, April 13.
J'Voyi Rio Janerio —Captain Reardon,
of the brig Arnphtcn, arrived here yes
terday in 50 daysirom Hio Janeiro, brings
accounts that the day previous to his de
parture the British Racket Mont spue ar
id rcd at Hio from Bahia, bringing infor
mation that a Coustutionnl ‘Government
haa been formed there; and that, in an
affray lietween the troops and people,
some lives had been lost’; The partial
iiirs were not made public, but report
said that s Provisional Government had
been established, and it was believed
dial the same was done at Pernambuco on
the same day by previous arrangements;,
Tim Governor was offered the Presiden
cy of die Government, which he refused;
the party in power then informed him.
they would call a Cortes forthwith.
The Packet was fired into bv the forts
mi leaving Bahia, and a shot entered the
cabin, but no material damage was done—
Some time ago the Lisbon troops at Rio
were offered promotion if they would en
ter the Brazilian lines; but out yf oil the
regiments there, only twelic men and of
fleers accepted the offer. The residue
insisted upon being sent to Lisbon, which
was promised them.
Capt Reardon states that previous to
his sailing* from Rio, a vessel tmd' arrived
there from Lima, with intelligence that
the Patriot Army tin.l< " Gen. San Maitlfi,
bad experienced a total defeat.
FrCJii }l:to:ios JJyres. —From Captain
Hamilton of die brig Oswego, anived
here yesterday in <9 days from Rustics
Ayres, we learn it was the, general opin
ion »t Buenos Ayres, when capt. }f s>;il
ud, that the whole coast of Peru ' would
be in the hands of the Patriots, in the
course of "0 days. The government of
lUuiiviS Ayres lias been in a very confu
sed slate, there being from twelve to.
fifteen Governors, during the last eight
months. Gapt 11. has brought Buenos
Ayres Gazettes of the latest dates, which
contain all that is interesting from that
(punter —The brig Canada, GVusoit, was
to sail from Monte Video for Baltimore,
about the .sth of February'.

count of the desertion of a reginjent of
about eight hundred men from Hie royal j

Second trial for murder.
.. , ‘... dVorsolh, April 13.
Manuel Phillip Garcia, was yesterday
nut upon ilia trial as ihc bar of the SupeJ
nor Court of Norfolk County, as*- ac
complice with Demar Joseph Garcia^ Cas
liiano in the murder of Peter Lagaudette.
As this case was included with that o*
Cas'.ilano in the aame bill of indictment,
«nd thv witnesses were the same, there
could of ccurec be little or no diversity
between the proceedings in each. Gen
eral Taylor again appeared as assistant
Counsel for the prosecution, and Messis
Almond and Maxwell asGounscl for the
pr soncr; but as the cause was to be tried
before a different jury, it became neces
.saty to go on as minutely wile the exam
inMibn es the witnesses and the pleadings
of Counsel, as at the preceding trial.
The receiving of evidence occupied
the court from 12 to 5 o’clock in the af
ternoon; and the plevdinf s were not con
cluded untsl 1 o'clock this morning, she
jury then reined, alter an absence of pie
cisely six minutes, returned and render
ed a verdict of guilty oj Murder of the
fu st degree.
Tbe prisoner on learning the purport ol
the verdict exhibited a cows derable de
gree of emotion, not so much, as it ap
paired to us, the effect ot grief and des
pair, ns of chagrin and disappointment,
the result of a falapious confidence he had
, all clung indulged in the iiiefficacy ot our
laws to punish capitally upon presump
tive evidence—Not so much from a dispo
sition to doubt the justice of the veruicl,
as from the failure ot the able Counsel he
hud employed to cflcclhis acqutlal.
1 These trial# afford a truly gratifying
evidence of the admirable structure of onr
system of jurisprudence, and of the fair
and impartial administration ofthe Iswsin
our Courts of Justice. The unhappy men
who have Just.been tried were taken up
and commuted to jail under circumstan
; ces of almost unheard of atrocity, calcula
ted to inflame the public Iceling with
, horror and disgust, yea with even ven
geance itself. Facts are disclosed previ
ous to their trial which stamp the'r char
1 ac'.ers and occupations with infamy—-in
i n word they arc foreigner,scarcely known
' in our ccuntry / bul by their crimes; and.
in the opinion of every hones' mind, mer
iting a violent and ignominious death.
Y t sechhose men broug t btfjre the tt j
bu .a! of cur court —There they are recog.
nised as in the r< be-of innocence—there
every indignant feeling,>evety prejudice,
and every sen iment of'abhorrence gives
• place to paternal tenderness and unwa
vering impartiality. Juries composed of
men of character, intelligence and unbi
assed feelings are summoned to tty their
cause—Counsel of the first standing are
employed to defend them —even their
prosecutor is the guardian of their right#,
and will not pennit their cause to be pre
judiced by any informality. The evi
dence is detailed and commented upon—
the law is expounded and il lust rated
laborious research and critical acumen are
indefftti jably employed in the investiga
lion; and lime and comfort and conve
nience, are unheeded wnile a ray of light
is left to be elicited, or b doubt remains
that the letorcf the law and the demand#
of justice have been strictly and religi
ously complied with. Upon the termi
nation of such a process of investigation,
so conducted, ?uslioe, and no more not*
less than justice can ensue. It is upon
such a process I hat these unhappy indi
viduals have been found guilty of a crime
for which, nvenhvjour mild and human*
t.«r.s, their miserable lives are forfeited.

OUTRAGE AND ROBBERY!!

Beacon of Thursday last, we announced
under the above capiion, a most daring at
tack upon, and rubbery of the family of
l)r. John Saunders, a highly respectable
inhabitant of Southampton County, near
Urquharl’a store. The information wi

enquired if he had any spiiits; boing ;m
--swerod that he had none, they said they
would pay him for it; he told them if he
had any they should be welcome to it—
They then went to the well and took a
drone of water, after which, coming up to
Mr. Grumpier, a young man who was with
Doctor, they seized him, and drawn ,' a
pistol at the fame time, one of them
knocked him down with a large stick

They then treated the Doctor in the same

Naval. — flic Franklin line of battle
ship, we understand, is ordered for active
service, and will continue under the com
mand of Com. Charles Stewart. As soon
assiie is ready for sea, will proceed to
the Pacific Ocean, where she will join the
Constel'u’ion, Cap). Hidgcley i ample pro
tection will thus he afforded to our com
merce in those seas. She is expected to
be absent for two nr three years. Cspt.
Downes in lire Macedonia* frigate, may
be every day expected to arrive at Nor
folk. We suppose the Cyane or some
small vessel of war will accompany the
Franklin.
Capt. Jacob Joses, commander of the
frigate Constitution has arrival in ifostqn.
His jhjp is in most admirable ,°fdort and
her crew of 400 men is nearly compu tod.
She will probably sail for the Mediterra
nean in about three weeks. In the opi
nion of nautical men; ,dd Ironsides is in
as good and sound a condition now as
when she was origipa ly built.
She will be bawled over from the Navy
Yard wharf in the course of si week; when
an.experiment is to be tried upon her,
with some new machinery, intended to
propel vessels dating a calm- This is the
contrivance of an ingenious mechanic of
the Navy-Yard, and it is possible may be
of i;em< service in critical situations. The
' maohine consists of two shafts, or axles,
extending through a central port hole, on
e'ther side of the ship, upon the extrem
ity of each of widely is secured a la’ge
water wheel of 16 or .ID foet diameter,
having Id paddles. Inside of the deck,
the axes are secured in buds or grooves,
having rollers to enable them to turn round
With facility—and a large drqm or wind
lass is attached to each, round, which the
messenger of the ship is to be turned.
'Hie messenger, or small sized cable,
will then lie cast round the capstan aft,
and carried forward, will be reeved thro’
a large fixed block under the bowsprit.
AH being thus prepared, about 300 men
on both decks will bp applied pi the cap
stan bar, and endeavor to move 'the ship
forward, after the manner of a steam
boat.—The jnventor expects to propel
the Constitution at the rate of three miles
an hour V/ith ail her stores on board Uut
although stjcli a result would unqoubted
ly prove of the greatest utility, we have
no great confidence in the success of the
experiment
