HAVING secured the serri.-ea of Mr. G T. OGLESBY
aa the superintendent, together withotherexpcrienced
mechanics, I hfigy established a large COTTON GIN FAC
TOR Y, at the Shoals of Ogeechee, Ga., where I am pre

cle In the sray of a COTTON GIN new produced in this
country.
Mr. Oousbi’s time, devot d exclusively in the shop, and
•eenig to the putting up of evvry Gin under his special di
rection, and attaching all the improvements which he (Mr
OcLxsar.) has gotten up within the last two years, I am
satisfied I can supersede any made heretofore, in quantity,
quality aud durability.
AU old Gins, (when sent to the shop,) trill be repaired,
and all the improvements attached if desired, at a reaaon

to this matter ia dne Mr. Cnxm-T.
I have been abaent a great portion of this time, on a

Gin, as well as improving, the original Baw Gin, together
With suitable machinery for this business, to its highest
perfection, aa wUI be acknowledged by all who have need

1 shall now devote my individual attention in the shop,
and ace that every part of each Gin ia put up in the neat
est possible manner : in short, 1 shall make the original
Ogtied-y Gin, which has been ao celebrated for its durabil

as well aa that of South Carolina in every instance except
one, and then it was said by foreign dealers that my Cot

The night grown lute, the at recta ere hashed—

Dreams, lovely us winged cherubs hover about

How nimbly and cheerfully does he adjust tbe

amid their monotonous discharge, believe us, the

Anecdote of General Washington.
Towards tho full of tho year 1775, Washington
and stall visited Cholsea on liorscb; ck to view the
features of the land thereabouts. They went from
tho oaiiip in Cambridge, througli Medford nnd Mal
den, ana stopped by the way for rest and refresh
ment at the residence of Mr. John Dexter, situated
in Muldcn, by the brook, just beioro you enter the
central village on the North side ot tho old road
leading from Medford. This house was about fif
teen rods from the street, ai.d distinguished for its
convenience ami tho bounty of its situation, having
many stately elm trees growing in regular lines ill
an opon park in front, besides others growing by
tho roadside noar, and was then woll calculated to
tempt a troop ol wcury horsemen ou a Summer’s
day to dismount, to enjoy the coolness of the shade
and tho hospitalities of tho mansion. Here Wash
ington and his suite alighted, aud after hitching
thoir horses under the treos, entered tho house by
invitation of Mr. Dexter, aud partook of refresh
ments. When the party came out to remount their
horses, one of the gentlemen accidentally knocked
off u stone from one of the wulls which ran along
from the house to the street outside of the rowß of
trees. Washington romurked to him that ho had
better roplaco tho stone. Tho officer, having re
mounted replied,—"No, I will loave that for some
body else to do.’’ Washington then went quietly
and roplacod the stone himself, saying as he did so
—“I always make it my rule, when visiting a place,
to leavo things in as good order as 1 find thou:.’’
This incident was related to us by Captain Bi
chard Dexter, who wiut a witness of tho facts re

The materials which form tho new composition

MISCELLANY.
The Korls Case.
Mr. ffuletmann to Mr. Many. —{ Translation.]
AcaWix Ligation, )
Washington, August 29, 1958. j
The undersigned Charge d’Aflaires of his Ma
jesty tho Emperor of Austria has been instructed
to address this official uote to the honorable Secre
tary of State in relation to tho difficulties which
have occurred between the agents of tho two Go
vernments at the port of Smyrna.
The facta which can c to pass on that occasion,
are of public notoriety, and the undersigned
thinks he may confine himself in his comments
thereon to the most prominent joints. Our Con
sol-Gcuerai, Mr. do Weckbcckcr, exercising tec
right of jarißdictiou which has been guarantied by
treaties to the consular agent* of Austria in the
East relative to their counttymun. had caused to
be arrested and conveyed ou board tho Austrian
brig-of-war ‘“Huszar,” the Hungarian refugee
Martin Koszta, who, resiJingatonetimc in thein
terior arKutahia, had left Turkey in company v.lih
Kossuth,and who after l aving pledged himself wri
ting not to set foot again on Ottoman territory broke
that pledge by returning some months since to
Smyrna. This arrest gave cause to some reclame
tions which Mr. Offley, U.S. Consul, conjointly «ith
the commander of tho American sloop of w ar “tit.
Louis,” anchored in the roads before Smyrna,
deemed it incumbent upon them-clvcs to address
to Mr. de Weckbecker, basing their deinards up
on the fact that tho aloresaid Koszta having, ac
cording to them cause] himself to bo naturalized
in the United States wa< entitled to tho protection
of tho American authentic*. Upon IhisthoCon
sul General of the Emperor, accompanied by the
American Consul aud the American commander,
repaired oil hoard the “Huszar,” and these two
functionaries had it in their power to convince
themselves, from the declaration of tho | risoncr
himself, that tho latter had not acquired the quali
fication of a citizen of the United States, and that
he was not even provided with an American
passport.
On his own part the Churgo d’AlT.iiri s ml interim
Os the United States at Constantinople addressed a
communication on the 27th of June, tothe imperial
Internuncio, (Minister,) the object of which was
to ask for the release of Koszta, upon tho pica
that he had taken Bomo steps to be admitted as an
American citizen. Daron ae Bruck replied to this
request ou tho same day, refusing to comply with
it. Two days after Mr. B.owu returned again to
the charge by forwarding to Mr. de Brack a copy
of a declaration, purporting to have been signed
by Koszta, in New York, on tho 31st of July last,
and which the Charge d’All'aircs of tho Union
seems to regard sufficient to imply the natnraliza
tion of that rofngee in America. Tho Intcrmincio
replied that it was impossible for him to alter his
determuiation, us he could not consider the indi
vidual in question as belonging to a foreign juris
diction so long as tho ties which bound him to his
country wore not legally dissolved.
The undersigned thinks it projior to embody
with tho very text of this note a copy ol the docu
ment above mentioned, which has served as the
basis to all tho extraordinary proceedings both on
the part of Mr. Brown, and that of the commander
of tho St. Louis. Here it ia;
Declaration made by Martin Koszta of allegiance
to the Government of the United Utalee.
I, Marlin Koszta, do declare ou oath that it is
bona fide my intention to become a citizen of the
United States, and to rononnee forovei, all allc
gianco and fi lolity to all and every foreign prince,
potentate, State, and sovereignty whatever, aud
particularly to the Emperor of Austria.
Sworn in open court this 31st day of July, 1858,
before me, clerk of the court, &c.
• » Martin Kostza.
I, , clerk ol tho court o! ——, being a court
of record, having common law jurisdiction and a
clerk and seal, do certify that the above is a true
copy of the original declaration of Mr. Koszta to
become a citizen of tho United States, remaining
open in my office.
Jn testimony whereof, 1 have herunto sub
fL. B.] sciioad my name and affixed tho seal
of the said court the 31st day of July
1853.
It is diiiicultto conceive how the representative
of the United States coaid have sought to l'onnd a
proofoftho pretended naturalization of Koszta up
on a document destitute of all authentic character,
seeing that the form of legalization which is affixed
to it, and which nlone could have invested it with
thut character, loaves in b ank* both the name of
the tribunal boforo which tho declaration of lvosztn
must have been made, und the nemo of tho clerk
who is supposed to be tho depositary oftho origi
cal document, and thut, moroover, this protended
legalization has ncithor signature nor official seal
uttachcd to it. But even admitting the authentici
ty of th : s declaration, and supposing that Koszta
could, without violating the luws of his country of
his own uecord, ami, without any other formali
ties, havo broken assnnder the ties which bind
him to his nativo soil, the text of the document
shows that the author ot it has done nothing more
than to declare his intention of becoming a citizen
oftho United States, and, with thut obiectin view,
of renouncing his rights of nationality !u tho States
of tho Emperor.
A few days later a now and lumcutablc episode
oocurrod to aggrivatethe question. On tho morn
ing oftho 2d of July tho commander of tho Ame
rican sloop-of war “St. Louis,” Mr. Ingraham,
sent a message to tho commanding officer of the
“Iluszur,” to the effect that, in pursuance of in
struotious received from tho Chargo d’Affiiiros of
the United States at Constantinople, ho had to call
upon him to deliver the aforesaid Koszta into his
hands ; adding that., if he did not receive a satis
factory answer by four o’clock in theuftcruoon, he
should cause the prisoner to be taken awuy by
in .in force. As it was reasonable to expeet,’ our
commander, instead of complying with this re
quest, prepared himself to repulse force by force ;
and whon, at the hour designated, the American
cominandor, getting ready to carry out his threat,
ranged himself alongside oar vessel and brought
his guns to bear upon the imperial brig, and was
üboul to carry matters to the lust extremity, onr
brave sailors although mnch inferior in numbers,
were determined to oppose a vigorous resistance
to the aot of aggression which was on the point of
beiDg consummated in tho neutral port of Smyrna,
and on the part of a vessel of war belonging to a
Power with which Austria was at peaco. Our
Consul-General only succeeded in preventing this
bloody catastrophe, which would probably havo
ended in the destruction of a considerable portion
of the town of Smyrna, and of vessols of all na
tions in the harbor, by consenting that Koszta
shonld temporarily, and until the settlement of
the difficulties of which he was tho subject bo con
sided to tho custody of the Consul General of
France at Smyrna.
The return of Mr. Marsh to Constantinople a
few days after these events brought on a discus -
sion between himself and our Intornuneio, of the
anostiou whether Martin Koszta was to be consi
ered as an Austrian subject or as a citizen of the
United States. Although still ignorant of this dis
cussion, the Imperial Government has come to the
determination not to dolay any longer addressing
itself to tho Government of the United States
through my instrumentality. There are two dis
tinct qncstions involved in this discussion. One
is the main question relating to tho dispute about
the rights of jurisdiction which has risen between
the legations of Austria and of tho United States
at Coußtaotiuople concerning Koszta; the other
question, at least fully as important, is that which
has reference to those formalities in virtue of which
the agonta of the United States have deemed them
selves authorized in urging their pretensions.
With regard to the firet of tlioso two questions,
treated in the coriospondoncc which lias taken
place on the subject between the lnternnncio and
tho Charge d’Affaires ad interim of tho United
States in Turkey, the Imperial Government adopts
entire.y the views of Baron de Bruck. In our opi
nion, Koszta has never ceased to be an Austrian
subject. Every thing combines to make the Impe
rial Government persist in this estimate of tho
matter. The laws of his country are opposed to
Koszta’s breaking asunder, of his own accord, and
without having obtained permission to expatriate
himself from the authorities of that country, the
ties of nationality which bind him to it. The very
declaration of that rofugee on board tho “Iluzar,”
in the presence of the American consul und of the
Commander of tho “St. Louis,” shows that he still
considers himself as a subject of the Emperor. lu
short, even according to terms of the law of the
Union, such a declaration, supposed to have been
signed by Koszta, and from which Mr. Brown has
g retended to infer his naturalization in tho United
tates, is not sufficient to produce that effect. The
undersigned thiuks ho may dispense onteringinto
any farther details in regard to this question, see
ing that tho Department of State of the U uited
States constantly refuses to grant passports to in
dividuals who ffnd themselves in this category,
and tbit official publications have been made from
timo to time to that effect.
As there can bo no doubt, therefore, concerning
the question of nationality, the Consul-General of
the Emperor at Smyrna was without doubt per
fectly justified when, in virtue of those treaties
which subject Austrian subjects in Turkey to con
sular jurisdiction, ho seized the person of Koszta
within the pale of his jurisdiction.
Such being the case, the Imperial Government
truslß that tho Government of the United States
will hasten to instruct its consul at Smyrna no‘ to
interpose any obstacle to the i-xt udilion of tho
aforesaid Koszta by the Consul Gouoral of t rance
to the Consul Gcu'eral of Austria at Smyrna.
But, apart from this question of jurisdiction, it is
especially the mode adopted by the functionaries
of the United States, in order to settle the matter
which has given to the Imperial Government tho
most legitimate grounds of complaint.
The act of violence which the commander ofthe
sloop-of-war “St. Louis - ’ committed against tho Au
strian brig “Huszar”—that real act o f war, commit
tad in full peace, in a neutral port, the fatal effects
of which were only averted by the prudence and
moderation of our Consul General at Smyrna—
constitutes an outrage upon the principles of the
law of nations; and tho Impel ial Government has
no doubt but that this act, viewed in such light,
will have been condemned by the Government of
the United States, said Government being itself in
terested in preventing the repetition of similar oc
currence.
The events of the 2d of July at Smyrna present
in a twofold point of view a serious deviation from
th e rules of international law.
Ist. Tht commander of the United States sloop
of war “St. Louis” threatened the brig of his
Imperial and Boyal Apostolic Majesty, tho “Hus
z&r," with a hostile stuck, by bringing Lis guus to
beat upon tbe latter, ana by announcing in
writing, that if a certain individual detained on
board, whose nationality was being discussed be
tween the agents of tho two Governments, was
not delivered over to him at a stated hour, he
would go and take him by main force.
There can be no doabt bat that tbe threat of
attacking, by main force, a vessel of war belonging
to the military marine of a sovereign State whose
flag she carries, is nothing else than a threat of an
act of war. Now, the right of making war is nec
essarily, and from the very nature of that right,
inherent in the sovereign power.
“ A right of so momentous a nature,'' says
Vatu' (Law of Nations, vol. 2, book 8. chap. 1,
sec. 4 ) “ the right of judging whether the nation
has real grounds of complaint; whether she is
authorised to employ force, and justifiable in taking
up arms ; whether prudence will admit of such a
step, and whether the welfare of tbe SUte requires
it—that right, I say, can belong only to the body of
the nation or to the totereign, her represenlatue. It
is, doubtless, one of those rights without which
there can be no salutary gocernment, end which
are, therefore, called rights of Majesty."
The founders of the Kepublic of the United
States sally recognised, from the beginning ofthe
Union, the rights reserved to the sovereign power.
The articles of perpetual confederacy and nnion
between the Sutes of New Hampshire, Massa
chusetts, &e. of 1778, conUin already the follow
ing stipulation, (IX, J 1:) “The right of declaring
war and to make peace shall belong solely sl3
exclusively to the Congress of the United Sutes.”
This basis of the public law ot the United States
eras preserved and sanctioned by the Constitution
of the United Sutes, of 1787, which reserves the
power of declaring war explicitly in Congress,
(sec. VIII.) Upon this point the Constitution of
the United States harmonises perfectly with the
public law of Europe.
Bat this right reserved to the sapreme power of
each country, would become illusory ana null, if
commanders of naval forces or others were to be
explicitly or tacitly authorised to undertake, either
• UwrU—make* ao mimics of either translator.
of their own accord or opou the order, or with the
CuDoent ot a diplomatic or consular agent, to oom
mit acts of aggression and of war against the
vessels or the troops of another nation without
special instructions from the supreme authority
of their own country, noticed in the forms pre
scribed by the law of nations.
It is impossible that the regular Governments
of the civilised world can wish to expose their
authority, as well as general peace, to the hazards
of hostilities commerced without their knowledge
and with special authority from the sovereign pow
er, by such orsich functionary, in a foreign land.
2J!y. This act > f hostility has been committed
in a nc-ntral port of a Power friendly to both na
tions.
Certainly, if there be ono po’nt in maritime
and international law which is clearly and positive
Iv defined, and which lias been adopted by all the
Powers of the world, it is the inviolability of neu
tral ports, the abs 'alt prohibition Irom commit
ting, in such ports, acts of war aud of violence,
even against the enemy with whom we are at open
war. Modern history furnishes but few examples
of cases of this kind. One of these rare instances is
the si'aek upon the Dutch East Indian fleet, which
had taken shelter in the portof Bergue, in Norway,
by the admiral commanding the forces of the ene
my : and although tli t attack was repulsed by the
guns of the lbrt of thut neutral port, Vattel— an
authority universally recognised in matters relating
to the laws of nations—does nevertheless accuse
the neniura!Power(Denuiark)ol having complain
ed iu too faint a voieo of an undertaking so inju
rious to her dignity and to her rights.
In order the better to establish the coucurrencj
of ail nations aud the unanimity of all expounders
of civil law on this question, we can quote the
authority ofan American statesman. The following
is the opinion ol Mr. Henry Wheaton:
“The rights of war,” says he, (Elements of in
ternational Law, part IV, chap. 111, sec. 7,) “can
ba exorcised only within the territory of the bolli
gercut Powers, npou the high soas, or iu a territo
ry belonging to no out. Hence it follows thut hos
tilities cannot lawfully be cxercisod within the ter
ritorial jurisdiction ot the neutral State, which is
the common friend of both parties.”
Then, see. 9: “Not only are all captures made
by the belligerent cruisers within the limits of this
■jurisdict ou absolutely illegal and void, but cap
tures made by armed vessels stationed in a bay or
river, or iu the month of a river, or iu the harbor
ot a neutral Stato for the purpose ot exercising
the rights of war from this station,tire also invalid.
Tints, where a British privateer stationed itself
within the river Mississippi, in the neutral territo
ry of the United States, for the purpose ol exer
cising the right of war from tho rivor, by standing
otf and on, obtaining intorniatiou at the Keiisc,
and overhauling vessels iu their course down the
river, and made the capture in question within
three English miles of the alluvial islands formed
at its month, restitution of the captured vessel
was decreed by Sir W. Scott. So, also, where a
beiligicant ship; lying within neutral territory,
made a capture with her boats out of the neutral
territory, the capture was held to bo invalid; for
though the hostile force employed was applied to
the captured vessel lying out of the territory, yet
uosuoli use of a neutral territory for the purpose
of war is to bo permitted.”
If all hostility against an enemy declared to be
within the territorial jurisdiction of a neutial
State, which has friendly relations with both par
ties, is severely condemned by ull writers on in
tornational law; if captures made by belligerent
cruisers in the baj sos a neutral State, or even by
the boats of the vessels stationed there cut of that
territory, are null and illegal, according to tho law
of tho United States and tho decrees of tho mari
time courts of Great Britain, an attack upon a
vessel belonging to a Iriendly Power in a neutral
port would deserve to bo ceD ured in still more
severe terms.
The history of maritime wars at the period of the
French revolution furnishes abundant proof of the
very particular jealousy with which the Govern
ment of the United States maintained the rights
of neutrals; nnd tho undersigned would cite some
celebrated cases in which tho first statesmen of the
Union, the most distinguished predecessors of
Mr. Marcy iu tho high position which bo fills, have
defended the absolute inviolability of neutral ports
by moans of most elaborate arguments. But as
the uudersigned is fully persuaded that the sumo
doctrines will serve as guides to tbe Government
of the Uuited States on tho present occcasion, lie
oonfines himself to this slight allusion to those
principles which were formerly maintained, and
vory recently supported, by the Government of
the United States in relation to the rights of
neutrals, and more especially in regard to the in
violability of lioutral ports.
The Imperial Government entertains too high
an opinion of the seuso of iustieu uud of integrity
of the Government of the United States to doubt
for a single instant its anxiety to disavow the con
duct of its agents under the circumstances above
mentioned, and thut it will hasten to call them to
a severe account, aud tender to Austria u satifac
tion proportionate tothc magnitude of the outrage.
The undersigned avails himself of this occasion
to oiler to tho Secretary of State the renewed as
surances of his high consideration.

Important Intention. '
Mr. John M. Reeder, of Memphis, has invented
a safety guard for steamboat boilers, which, when
it becomes generally used, will prevent the do
strnclion of human life, which has bccu a dreadful
characteristic of steamboat navigation on the west
ern wators. It is an improvement which puts it
out of the power of an cugineerto explode a boiler,
either through ‘ licgligcneo or purposely. Mr.
Boeder is in this city at present und lias a small
model of his invention with him. We witnessed
Wednesday an experiment with it which proved
highly satisfactory. This improvement provides
the upper part or the boißq with two openings or
apertures in additiou to that for tho safety valve,
and tho bottom of tho boiler with one. These
apertures are closed by one cylinder and piston,
and by two valves which arc arranged to pass the
water from tho boiler on to the lire under it, when
tho steam gets to a given height, ihus dampening
down tho fires and preventing explosion should
the safety valve or cugincor fail to perform their
functions. This safety guard is intended to be in
dependent of tho engineer beyond his control cn
tirely, to be enclosed, locked up and tho key
placed in the possession bf tho captain, tho in
spoctor having previously determined the amount
of pressure the boiler will bear, aud adjusted
the pea upon tho lever accordingly. In the experi
ment Wodncsduy when more steam wus raised
than was necessary, the extra quantity imtncdiuto
ly lifted tho guard, and tho water rushed out upon
tho fire and put it out, soon reducing the steam to
the proper point.
Tiio improvement can be adapted to the locomo
tive boiler, and all other steam boilers. It is one
Os the most useful aud important inventions of the
age, and will havo a marked effect upon the navi
gation of onr rivers.
Big Trees in Caliiornla.
Wo make the following extract from a Califor
nia letter of a late date in the Muino Expositor:
We were soon on tlio summit of tho ridge, divi
ding the Staniiaus from tho San Antonio (still
larger) branch of the Calaveras; tho road on tho
summit, as before, smooth and ca y, and the same
gradual rise as the other, leading us through beau
tiful groves and gigantic pines, six, eight and ton
feet in diameter, and among clusters of green firs
—tlio firet I had seen in tho country—soon brought
us to a gentle descent, leading to tho valley or
meadow, the head of the San Antonio. Crossing
this stream by a geo.l “grid iron” bridge, wo were
in a sow moments at the “Big Tree,” or rathor, I
ought to say, the big trees, to view which was
the main object of our visit: yet so much occupied
had we boon by the beauty of tho scenery around,
that we had not noticed the tree, until wo were at
its roots.
And hero, perhaps, I ought to stop, and not at
tempt a description. To do justice In a descrip
tion, I cannot. Imagine to yourself a solid block
of wood, about thirty ioetin diameter, projecting
some three feet above the earth, large enough for
the foundation of a good sized house, ou which
you might parade one of your old militia regiments,
and bo told that this is tho stump of one tree—and
if yon disbelieve, here by its side lies the entire
trunk of tho tree, looming tip so high, that to get
on it, we had to ascend by means of a ladder, to
a staging, and from thence, by steps cut in the
side of the trank, until we stood upon this won
der of the world. Standing thus upon its now
fallen trunk, and in view of the rapacity of
man, in first stripping it of its bark, toDetians
ported and set up in the Atlantic cities, for exhibi
tion, and then felling it, to work up into cancs,
&c., to sell on speculation—one could not but la
ment that the invocation, “Woodman, spare that
tree,” had not been heeded.
The tree fell that day before we arrived. It had
been bored with a four inch pump auger, from the
circumference to tho centre, until it was thus, with
a little chiselling, entirely cut off, yet would it not
fall, until huge pines were fallen against it, when,
like Sampson shorn of his looks, the noble shaft,
which had braved the winds for ages, came down
to the dost.
Having viewed this, we were conducted through
the thick under-growth ofchapparel.wild currant,
raspberry &uu other bushes, a circuit of üboat onc
fonrtb of a mile, to view other mo;»3tror.rt trots,
H'-ino standing and some f<iden One of these
fullcu tieos having beeu burned into at tho root,
(supposed by natives,) we could walk into erect for
thirty feet, and cou*d ride in on horseback half
that distance. T.he shell of tho trank, about two
feet thick r.ll round, was sound as ever. Standing
myself within the trunk, and reaching as high as
my arm could go, n.y hand fell short four feet of
reaching that part which formed the roof over me.
Another tret, which, when standing, must have
hceu three hundred and fifty f £o t high, had been
burned into at a point about one hundred and fifty
feet from the root, and within, probably de
cayed, the fire had spread each way some forty to
fifty fft, burning out the whole interior, leaving
a shell outside, as was the other. In this vacuum
wo took a walk, and in some places could not reach
the roof, even at that distance from the butt. By
this, judge you of its size; it must have been, with
the bark on, much larger than the monster which
had just given way before the woodman’s axe, (or
auger and chisel.)
We measured several standing trees, which were
sixty, seventy, eighty, eightv-four, eighty-eight
and ninety feet in circumference; three in a'di
rcct line, the tuttsjoining, called by the boys ‘‘the
sisters,” measure, collectively, forty f-et diameter;
in height, from two hundred and fifty to two hun
dred and seventy-five feet.
The nnraber of these monsters that we saw in
the short walk that we took, I .lid not count, but
judge some twenty five to forty.
On the ground, the ordinary raspberry leaf was
from six to ten incites broad. The strawberry
vines were also rank, but being so much shaded,
there was but little fruit on them.
If I rightly recollect, some missionaries have sta
ted that the few cedars left of the once beautiful
forests of Lebanon, are of the most gigantic size—
a fact which has given rise to the thought in me
that the trees of California may bo at least cousins
germain to the veritable cedars of Lebanon.
Sxa-sicKßEas vs. Yellow Feveb.— The following
interesting account of tne experience ofthe steamer
Cherokee appears in the Philadelphia North Ame
rican. We have heard something of tbe same kind
in Mobile:
It appears that the vcs.-el named left New Or
leans on the 12th of August, when the fever was
at its height, with one hundred and sixty-nine
passengers aboard, exclusive of the officers and
men belonging to the ship. The majority of them
were unacclimated, and hence especially susceptible
to au attack from the epidemic. Soon after the
Cherokee liad got out into the Gulf, which was
pretty rough at the time, every one ot the passen
gers became violently sea sick; bat after the nau
seating motion ot the water hid iu usual effect,
causing the whole party to vomit pretty freely,
this sickness ceaseJ, and health and hilarity reign
ed on board. Soon after this, the yellow fever
broke out smong the crew of the vessel, none of
whom hsd suffored from the sea-sickness. Before
reaching New ) erk, ten of the men had been at
tacked with the fever. Not one of the passengers
was affected with the disease. Was there any
connection between the sea-sickness and the ex
emption! The circumstance was, ceruinly, a
most remarkable one.

Boston, Sept. 17, 1858.
Mv Loud Your despatch of the 16th of Feb
ruary last to Mr. Crumpton has lately appeared in
our public papers. As it is in reality, if not in
form, a reply to my letter of the first of December,
1852, on the’ subject of Cuba, I icgrot that it wa
not prepared and sent before my retirement from
the Department of State. But, though I nuts!
now do it as a private individual, I feel as if it
were to some extent my duty to answer it. 1 shall
endeavor to do so in a manner consistent with ui>
sincere respect for your public character, aud a
lively recollection of your personal kindness dur
ingmy residence in England.
Before remarking on tho contents of your letter,
I will observe that, though it contains some eonr
toous expressions, its tone is, upon the whole, i ol
quite as conciliatory as might have becu expected,
considering that my letter ot tho Ist of Deconibcr
was altogether respectful and friendly toward the
two Bowers, both in form and in substance. 1
have heurd that in presenting this correspondence
to Parliament, you indulged “in some sarcastic re
murk-,” out I have not seen my report of their.
Your despatch is r ot freo from a shudo of sar
casm in one or two sentences. This I shall endea
vor to avoid in reply, not that it would bo difficult
to follow you into that field, bnt because I cannot
think that an encounter of wits between us would
be an edifying spectacle, or ono which would pro
mote any desirablo national object.
You say that, in ray letter of the first of Decem
ber, I entered into “arguments not required in
tho simple nature of tho question before me ;”
and the length of my letter has been complained
of in other quarters. Tho question propounded to
us was certainly in ono seuso “simple, as every
question is that can be answered “Yes,” or 1 Nr.”
Bnt how various, complicated, and important t> e
interests and relations involved in it! 1 esides,
tho organ of every Government must bo the only
judge o the proper length and relevancy of his re
plies to tile communications of foreign Powers.—
The proposal to which 1 was returning an answer,
jointly mudo by two of the leading Powers of Eu
rope, related to the most important suhjeet in tho
circle of our foreign relations. I thought thut a
sow paragraohs wore well employed in unfolding
the views of tho l’rosident on this subject and tho
reasons why he declined entering into a compact
purporting to bind tho three Governments for all
coming time to a certain line of policy in a cu.-o
of so much importance.
You will roeollcet thut the members ot our Exe
cutive Government do not sit in Congress. Those
expositions which are made iu your Pailiumont by
Ministers, iu speeches not uuf'requently of two
and throo, and sometimes four and five hours in
length, must be made iu this country in a Presi
dential message (rarely alludod to by your press
without a sneer at its length) or un Ex cutivo ro
port or dispatch. My letter ot the Ist of Decem
ber would make a speech of about an hour, which
does not seem to me immoderate for such a sub
jeet. However, a littlo greater fullness of slate
ment and argument in papers expected to come
before tho public is, it must be confessed, in har
mony with theeliaructer of our Government, und
is generally indulged in.
You observed that “the absorption or annexa
tion of Louisiana iu 1808, of Florida in 1818, of
Texas iu 1845, and of California in 1448 had not
escaped the two Powers ; still Icss'did they require
to be reminded of the events of tho seven years’
war. or of the American war.” But facts may be
mentioned for illustration or argument, as well as
information. Most certainly the importuutand no
torious events named hv you—lending incidents
of the history of the Hailed Mates and of the
world—cannot be supposed to havo escaped the
Governments of England nnd France, who wire
parties to somo of tho most important ofthe trans
actions in question. 1 had no thought of “re
minding” yourGovernmonts of tho events ot tho
soven years’war and ofthe Atncrioun revolution
as matters of historical fact of which they were ig
norant , though I really doubt, and beg to say it
without offonce, whether there arc many indi
viduals in the Government of either country pos
sessed of un accurate aud precise knowledge ol
the facts hastily sketched by me. That sketch,
however, of the territorial changes which have
taken place on this continent during the last cen
tury, was intended as an illustration ofthe propo
sition that our entire history shows it to be chimo
rical to attempt, in reference to specific measures
to bind up, for all future time, the discretion ol a
Government, established in a part of the world of
which so much is still lying inn Btaio of nature.
1 had another motive. Tho puhlio opinion of
Christendom, created in a good degree by the
press, has become an element of great and in
creasing influence in the conduct of international
affairs. Now, it is very much the lmbit of a con
siderable portion of the European press to speak of
tho steady and rapid extension of the territory of
tho United States as the indication of a gruspiug
spirit on tho part of tboir Government and people.
The subject is ruroly alluded to by one school of
transatlantic public writers for any other purpose.
Thus the public mind of tho civilized world is
poisoned against us. There is not only manifest
ed, on tho part of these writers, uu ontiro insensi
bility to the beauty and grandeur ofthe work that
iegoingon—more bencllocnt, if possible, to Europe
than to us in tho relief it is affording her—but wo
are actually held up at times us a nation of land
pirates. It was partly my object to counteract
this disposition; to Bhow that our growtli had
been a natural growth; that our most important
accessions of territory had taken place by great na
tional transactions, to which England, France nnd
Spain had been parties, and in other cases by the
operation of causes which necessarily influence the
occupation and settlement ota now country in
strict conformity with the laws of nations and not
in violation of thorn.
Yousay thatit “occurs to her Majesty’s Govern
ment to ask for what purpose are these arguments
introduced with so much preparation and urged
with so much ability,” nnd you answer tho ques
tion in the following manner: “It would app:ar
that tlio purpose not fully a rotted but hardly con
cealed, is to procure tho admission of a doctrine
that tho United States have an interest in Cuba to
which Great Britaiu and Franco cannot pretend.”
Here a little unintentional injustice is done In my
letter, in which it is distinctly stated more than
once, for reasons set forth at length aud very par
tially eontrovertedby you, that the Government of
tho United States considered theemdition of (Juba
“us mainly an American question,” iu which thoy
had a very deep interest and you a very limited
ono. Not only was no attempt wliatovor made to
conceal this doctrine, but it was fully avowed and
reasoned out in my lotter of the Ist of Decernl>er,
1852.
To meet one of tho chief grounds on which the
United States rest this claim, thut of geographical
proximity, after some local allusions of which 1 do
not porccive tho exact bearing, yon observe, in ef
fect that Cuba is somewhut nearer to Jamaica than
it is to tho nearest part of the United Statos, and
yon consider this as. showing that wo cannot have
a greater interest in tho island tliau yon huve.
Now, if Jamaica bore tho same relation to Great
Britain which our States on and near the Gulf of
Mexico hear to the rest of the American Ui.i'ii,
your reply to my argumout would bo good. Bat
the direct reverse is tho case. Jamaica is a distant
colony, whose entire population (of which not
more than one-tenth is of European origin) docs
not exceed that of an English city of the second
class. It is, os I perceive from your speech of the
4th August, a burden on tho imperial treasury. It
must in its present state stand high oil the list of
tho colonies, which (as appears from I ord Grey’s
recent work on tho colonial poicy of your Admin
istration) aro regarded by more than ono uctive
and influential party in England us incuuibcrauces
of which she ought to vet rid, if she could do so
with credit. Ilow different, in all respects, the
case with the States lying on the Gulf of Mexico 1
In extent of sea-coast, in the amount of valuable
products furnished to the world’s commerce, in the
command of rivers which penetrate the heart of
tho continent, they are a most important, as they
are an integral portion of tho Onion. They arc
n’.i - cic dly a!! but a six'll part ot i\ The very il
lustration made use of by you strikingly confirms
instead of confuting the doctrine Gut ‘ the con
dition of Cuba is mainly au American question.”
This proposition could be enforced by other
strong arguments besides those adduced in my let
ter of December the first; but as tlioec arguments,
with the exception just commented upon, have not
been met by you, I deem it unnecessary to enlarge
pou tho topic.
But, though the United States certainly consider
that they have “ an interest in the condition of
Cuba to which Great Britain and France cannot
pretend," it is not, either in my letter nor in any
other American State paper within my recollection,
assumed that Great Britain and France have “no
interest in the maintenance of the present statu quo,
and that the United States alone nave a right to a
voice in the matter.” Our doctrine is, net that wo
htvean absolutely exclusive interest in tho sub
ject, but that wo have a far deeper and more im
mediate interest than France or England can pos
sibiy lay claim to. A glance at the map, one
would think, would sulisfy every impartial mind of
this truth.
In order to establish for France and England an
equal interest with the United States in thy con
dition of Cuba you say: “ Great Britain is in pos
session bv treaty of the Island of Trinidad, which
iu the last century was a colony of Spain. France
was in possession it the commencement of this
century of Louisiana by voluntary cession ot
Spain.” It is true that Spain was compelled by
Franee to cede Trinidad to. Great Britain by the
treaty of Amienß. If while this cession was in agi
tation, as it was for some time, the United Stafea
and any other neutral Power (if there was any
other) had exerted themselves to defeat it, and
had invited yon and France to bind yonraelves by
a perpetual compact never to acquire it, the inter
ierence, I appre end, would have been regarded
as worse than gratuitous. I cannot see why we
have not as good m right to obtain, if we can, from
Spain tbe voluntary cession of Cubs, as you had to
accept the compulsory cession of Trinidad, which
is by position and stength the Cabs of the south
eastern Antilles.
France was, as yon ssy, at the beginning of this
century, in possession of Louisiana by ths volunta
ry cession of Spain. This possession, however,
(nominal at best,) did not take place till seven
months after Erance had sold Louisiana to the Uni
ted States for oighty millions of francs, snd it last
ed only from tbe 30th of November to the 20lh of
December, ISCB. The object of France in acquiring
Louisiana was to re establish herself in the inte
rior of this country ; an object, I need not say as
menacing to your North American poesesaions as
to the United Statee. Is it possible you can think
such a possession of Louisiana for such a purpose
a sufficient ground on the part of France for inter
fering with our relations with Cubs? May she, a
European Power, without consulting ns, obtain
from Spain in 1800 a cession of half the habitable
portion of North America—a cession which threw
her for fifteen hundred miles on our western fron
tier, and not only shat as out from the Pacific but
enabled her to close the Mississippi—and it is so
very unreasonable for us to decline her invitation
to biud ourselves for alt time not to accept the ces
sion of an island which lies within thiry-flve lea
gues of our coast ? Does she even derive her right
thus to control our relations with Cuba iu 1858
from her twenty days’ possession of Louisiana in
1808 ? What can be dearer than that, whatever
right accrued to bar from that thraa wteke’ poe-
; s asion, (which was a mere ceremonial affair to
give form t > the transfer of the provinoe to the Uni
ted States,) must have passed to us by that traus
j ler, followed by our actual jiossession and occupa
tion ior half a century ?
You obeerve that “ Lord Malmesbury and Mr.
Turgot put forward as a reason for entering into
tho proposed compact tho attacks which had been
made on the island of Cuba by lawless bands of ad
venturers tVom the United States, and with the
avowed design of taking possession of that island,”
aud to this reason you add, Mr. Evorett replied in
these terms: “Tho President is convinced that the
conclusion of suejea treaty, instead of pnttingastep
to these lawless proceedings, would give a new and
powerful impulse to them;” aud this argument
you call “not only unfounded,but disquieting.”
After acknowledging, rather coldly I think, the
conduct of tho late President in disavowing aud
discouraging the lawless enterprises referrod to.
you reproachfully prououuco my remark just cited
“a melancholy avowal for the chief of afreo State;”
and you seem to intimate, without oxpressly say
ing so, that it implies, on the part of the people of
the United States, an insensibility “to the .value of
tho eternal laws of right aud wrong, of peace and
friendship, and of duty to our neighbor, which
ought to guide every Christian nation.” You also
take occasion, in reference to tbe samo remark, to
impress upon the people of the United States “tho
utility of those rules tor the observance of interna
tional relations which for centuries have been
known to Europo by the name of the law of na
tions. Among the commentators onjthat law, (you
continue) some of the most distinguished Ameri
can citizens have earned an enviable reputation,
and it is difficult to suppose tho United States
would set an example of abrogating its most sa
cred provisions.”
I suppose no one in Eurojie or Americu will think
the intended force of this rebnke mitigated by tho
diplomatic reservation oontained in tho laat two
lines. Let ns, then, inquiro for a moment if it is
well deserved.
The cxjNjditions to which youalludo as calculated
to excite the “ reprobation of every civilized State”
wore (discountenanced by the President-ia every
constitutional and legal way. Tho utmost vigilance
wes at all times employed, but, unhappily for the
adventurers themselves, without effect. In this
there is matter neither for wonder nor reproach.
The territory ot tho United States is but little loss
than the wholeof Europe, while their population is
not equal to that of tho United Kingdom, and their
standing military force small and scuttercd over an
immensely extensive frontier. Oar Government,
like that of England, is ono of law ; and there is a
great similarity between the laws of tho two coun
tries which prohibit military expeditions against
the possessions of friendly Powers. In fact, yonr
foreign enlistment act of 1819 was admitted by Mr.
Canning to have beon founded in part on onr neu
trality law of tho proceeding year. Os tho two, I
believe our laws are the most stringent; but it is
somewhat difficult to enforco them in both coun
tries.
These expeditions got up in the United States
by u Spanish general and supposed to indicato a
lawless disposition on the part| of tho American
people, comprised a vory sma l number oi persons,
some of whom were foreigners, enjoying tho same
freedom of action in the United States that refu
gees from every port of the continent enjoy in
England. The > unis reproach which is cast upon
us for these expeditions is at this moment cast
upon hngland by the continental Powers. Events
wnicb| have occurred in London sinco your de
spatch was written, strikingly illustrate|the difficul
ty and tho risk under constitutional Governments
of preventing abuses of that hospitality which it
is the privilege and boast of such Governments
to extend to all who seek it.
There is no doubt widely prevalent in this
country a feeling that tho poople of Cuba are just
ly disaffected to the Government of Spain. A
recent impartial French traveller, M. Ampere,
confirms this impression. All the ordinary po
litical rights enjoyed in freo countries are denied
to tho people ot that island. The government is
in principle, tho worst form of despotism, viz :
absolute authority delegated to a military viocroy,
and supported by an army from abroad. I speak
of the nature of the government, and not of tho
individuals by whom it iB administered, for I havo
formed a vory favorablo opinion ot tho personal
character of the present captain general, as of one
or two of his predecessors. Os tho bad faith and
the nttor disregard of treaties with whicli this
bad Government is administered your committees
on tho slave trade have spoken plainly enough at
the late session of I’arliuuiont. Such being the
state of things in Cuba, it doeß not seem to me
very extraordinary or reproaohful that throughout
the United States a handful of misguided youug
men should bo found ready to join u party of for
eigners, headed by u Spanish General, who was
abio to persuade them, not as you view it. “by
armed invasion to excite the obodientto revolt and
the tranquil to disturbance,” but, as they wore
led to boliovo, to aid au oppressed people in their
struggles for freedom. There is uo reason to
doubt that there are at this moment us many per
sons, foreigners as well as natives, in England who
entertain these feelings and opinions as in tho
United Slates; and if Groat Bntaiu lay at a dis
tance of one hundred und ton miles from Cuba,
instead of thirty-five hundred, you might not,
with all your repressive force, find it easy to pre
vent a small steamer, disguised as a trading vessel
from slipping off from an outport in the night on
an unlawful enterprise. The expedition of Gen.
Torrijos in 1881, as far as illegality is concerned,
is tho parullol of that of Gen Lopez. It was fitted
out in tho Thames without interruption till the last
moment, and, though it then fell under tho grasp
of the police, its members succeeded in escaping
to Spain, where, for some time, they found shelter
at Gibraltar. It is declared in tho last number of
the Quarterly Review to be “notorious that associa
tions have been formed at London for the subversion
of dynasties with which England is at peace ; that
arms havo beon purchased and loans proposed ;
that,‘central committee’ issue orders from England;
and that Messrs. Mazziui and Kossuth have estab
lished and presido over boards of regeucy for the
Roman States and Hungary, und for the promotion
of revolution in every part of the world.” I have
before me a list, purporting to be taken from a
Prussian police Gazette, of fifteen associations of
continental refugees organised in London and now
in action for the übove mentioned purposes.
Whon theso things ure considered, tho fact that,
in tho course of four or five years, two inconsid
erublo and abortive efforts have been made from
the United States, though deeply to be lamented
and sternly to be oondomned as a violation of
municipal and international law, does not appear
to me so “shocking" as it seo.us to be thought by
you. It does not, in my judgment, furnish any
ground for tho reproaches which it has drawn
upon the Government and people of the United
States. Nor does the remark in my lettor of tho
firet of Docombor, that a disposition to engago in
Buoh enterprises would bo increased rather than
diminished by our acoession to the proposed
convention, Btriko me as “ a molancholy avowal,"
as you pronounce it, on the part of tlio President.
You forget tho class from which such adventurers
are in ull countries enlisted, the young, the reck
less, the misinformed. What other efiect could bo
expected to be produced on this part of the popu
lation by being told that their own Government,
ill disregard of tho most obvious publio interests,
us well a» of the most cherished historical tradi
tions, had entered into a compact with two foreign
Powors to guaranty tho perpetuity of tlio system
under which Cuba now suffers? Doos not Lord
Howdeu, tho English Minister at Madrid, make a
very similar avowal in his letter of the 30th of
May Inßt, addressed to the Spanish Minister of
Foreign Affairs, when lie says: “I cannot con
clude without expressing my deep regret that the
course of Spain is such as to produce a general
alionation in tho opinion of tho English public,
out of which will most iufallibly result a state of
fileling which no Government can control or op
poet /”
The idea that a convention like that proposed
was a measure naturally called for iu consequence
of those lawless expeditions seems to rest upon an
entire misconception of the present stato of the law
in the United States and of our treaty relations
with Spain. Our treaties with that Government
aud tlio laws ot tho United States forbid all such
enterprises. The tripartite convention would
liave added nothing to their unlawfulness. If we
had beon desirous of multiplying objections, we
might woii have complained that the acts of a very
small number of rash young men, citizens and
foreigners, should be put forward by two of the
loading Powers of Europe as the main reason why
we should be cxpeciod to enter into a strango com
pact with thoso ‘Powers, binding ourselves nover
to make a lawful aud honorablo acquisition of
Cuba. There is no logical connexion between the
ideas, and there is something bordering upon tho
offensive in their association.
Consider, too, tbe recent antecedents of tbe
Powers that invite ns to disable ourselves to tho
end of time from the acquisition in any way of
this natural appendage to our continent. Franco,
within the present century, to say nothing of tho
acquisition of Louisiana, has wrested a moiety ot
Europe from its native sovereigns; has possessed
herself by force of arms, and at tho time greatly
to the discontent of England, of aix hundred-miles
of the northern coast of Africa, with an indefinite
extension into the interior, ana has appropriated
to herself one of the most important insular
groups of the Pacifio. England, not to mention
her other numerous recent acquisitions in overy
part ofthe globt, has, even since your despatch of
the 16tli of February was written, annexed ba'.f of
the Burmuii empire to her overgrown Indian pos
sessions, on grounds, if the statements in Mr.
Cobden’s pampletare to be roliod upon, compared
with which the reasons assigned by Kussia tor in
vading Turkey are r spcctalde.
The United States do not require to be advised of
“the utility of those rules for the observance of in
ternational relations which foroenturios huve been
known to Europe by tbe name of the law of na
tions.” They are known cud obeyed by us under
the same veuerable name. Certain circumsta- co
in our history have caused them to be studied
more generally and more anxiously here than
in Europe. From ths breaking out of tbe wars of
tbe French revolution to tho year 1812 the United
States knew the law of nations only as the victims
ot its systematic violation by the great maritime
Powers of Europe. For these violations on the part
of England prior to 1794indemnificat.ou was made
under the seventh article of Jay’s treaty. For
similar injuries on the part of France we were
compelled to accept an illusory set off under the
convention of 1800. A few years only elapsed be
fore a new warfare upon our neutral rights was
commenced by tho two Powers. Ono hundred
millions at ieaat of American property were swept
from the seas under the British Orders in Council
and the French Berlin and Milan decree. These
orders and decrees were at the time reciprocally
declared to be in contravention of the law ot na
tions by tbe two Powers themselves, each speaking
of tbe measures of the other party. In 1831, after
the generation of the original sufferers had sunk
under their ruined fortunes to the grave, Frai.ce
acknowledged her decrees to have been of that
character by a late and partial maesure ot ii dem
nificatiou. For our enormous losses under tho
British Orders in Council we not only never re
eeivfed indemnification, but the sacrifices and suf
ferings of war were added to those spoliations on
our commerce and invasion of our ueutral rights
which led to its declaration. Those orders were
at the time regarded by the Landsdownes, the
Barings, the Broughams, and the other enlightened
statesmen of the school to which you belong as a
violation of right and justice as well ss of sound
policy; snd within a very few years tho present
distinguished Lord Chief Justice, placed by your
self at the head of tbe tribunala of England, has
declared that “tho Orders in Council were griev
ously unjust to neutrals, and it is note generally
allowed that they were contrary to the law <f nations
and our own muntpal law."
That I call, my lord, to borrow your expression,
“a melancholy avowal” forthechief of the juris
prudence of a great Empire. Acts of its sovereign
authority, countenanced by its Parliament, rigidly
executed by its fleets on every sea, enforced in the
courts of admiralty by a magistrate whose learning
and eloquence are among the modern glories of
England, persisted in till the lawful commerce of
a nentral and kindred nation was annihilated, and
pronounced by the highest legal anthority of the
present day contrary not merely to tho law of
nations, but your own municipal law I
Under these circumstances the Government and
People of the United States, who have never com
mitted or sanctioned a violation of tho law of
nations against any other Power, may well think
it out of place that they should bo Instructed by an
English Minister in “the utilly of those rules
which for centuries have been known to Europe
by the name of the law of nations.”
There are several other points in your despatch,
some of greet public moment, which, if I wore

have, however, deemed it proper at presout to

j®," “ ot > 1 h .ope, misapprehend tho spirit in
wlmh this loiter is written. As aa American
citizen I do not covet the acquisition ol Cubn,
either pcacably or by force of anns. When I cast
my thoughts back upon onr brief history as n
nation, I certainly am not led to think that the
United States liavo reaohod tho final limits of
their growth, or, what comes to very much tho
samo tiling, that representative government, relig
ions equality, tho trial by jury, the freedom of the
press, andthe other great uttribnlcsof our Anglo-
Norman civilization arc never to gain a farther ex
tension on this continent. I regard tho inquiry
under what political organization this extension is
to take place as a vain attempt to ponotruto the in
scrutable mysteries of the future. It will, if we
are wise, bo under the guidance of our examplo;
l hope it will bo in virtue of the peaceful arts by
which well governodstatos extend themselves over
unsettled or partially settled continents. My voice
was heard at tho first opportunity, in the Semite of
tho United States, in favor of developing the almost
boundless resources of tho territory already ill our
possession, rather than socking to onlurgc it by
aggressive wars. I; till 1 cannot think it reasonable,
hard respectful, on the part of England nnd Frauoo,
France, while they aro daily extending thcmselvos
on every shore and in every Bea, mid nußliing their

“ Grand Gulf, Sept. 29, 1853.
“ We have had no niirsos since Uiobb who ar

So soon as it was ascertained that wo had tho

Out of a baud numbering thirty-seven, fifteen

“There has been no mail mado up at Port Gibson
for Borne days. The postmaster is sick.”
And on tho 27th, in the evening, ho writes;
“There wore livo deaths hero to day, and four

The London papers give the following account
of the wreck of the ship Rebecca, on the coast of
Vau Diemen's Land, with the loss of the Captain,
his wife and 19 of the crew. Eleven seamen es
caped on a desert shore und were rescued after
sulfering severe privation.
Wo regret to announce the total loss of tho va'u
able ship Robeoca, with, unhappily, many lives,
which occurred on tho west coast of Vun Dioman’s
Land, between Sandy Capo arid Arthur liiver,
while on her passage to Sidney, from London, with
a cargo ot wines, boor, and other articles. She
sailed from Gravesend tho 2d of lust December, in
charge of Mr.Sh ppard, tho master, the number
of her hands consisting of about 80—Mrs. Shep
pard accompanying her husband. After starling
she encountered some very heavy gales, and was
obliged to put into Fowey (Cornwall) whence she
sailed on tho 18th of January and touched at the
Capo Verd Islands for provisions.
On the 29th of April the ship roachod tho west
coast of Vun Dieman’s Land and while sailing at
tho rate of knots an hour, with the wind
northwest, steering northeast, she struck on a reef
at 9.30 P. M. Hor helm was immediately put
down, and mainyard put back, but she continued
to drive on shore last, und within an hour was
thrown on her broadside, the sea washing com
pletely over her. Tho masts wero immediately cut
away, in the hope that it would bring her upright,
but that failing, a* boat was lowered, mid the
second mate and Mrs. Shoppard, with a la-i and
seven seamen, having got into it, pushed olf, but
almost immediately alter capsized, and with the
exception of three seamen, all porisl.cd alongside
tho wreck. Tho scauicn swam to tho shore.
About tins time u tremendous sea struck the
vessel aud swept off the Ipng- boat The master,
aud the remainder of the'erew, remained on the
wreck till 4 o’clock the next morning, whon, find
ing that the ship was fast breaking up, they re
solved to make an attempt to reuch the shore, only
a quarter of a mHpdlstaut. In the attempt, Capt.
Sheppard and severul others were drowned, tho
remainder reaching the beach in a very exhausted
state, through a very heavy surf which was run
ning all the time ; and out of 30 men only 11 were
saved.
Tho following day the bodies which wore
washed ashore were duly interred. Search was
then made along the beach for food, the crow ex
pecting to find most of the ship’s stores, hut all
that they could discover was a small portion of
bread and seven small tins of herrings. The crew
then lormcd an encampment; and iiuving, in the
course of tlicir travels about the beach, noticed the
foot marks of men and animals proceeding in a
southerly direction, it was resolved to send a party
in search of a habitation in that course, but after
two data absence, they returned without being
able to' trace a single living creature. During
this time the allowance served out was only one
herring per day and a cupfull of biscuit; bat
subsequently quantities of bottled ale and porter
wero washed up from tho wreck, which pioved
most acceptable.
They had no means of making a fire. It was
then determined that two parties should start—
’ one to the south and the other to tho north—both
of which accordingly set out; but these likewise
proved fruitless. After enduring great privations
and sulfering for nearly a fortnight, they were
surprised at the appearance of a dog, winch was
hailed as the harbinger of their deliverance.
Fearing ho might run away, they wrote an ac
count of their situation and tied it round his neck.
The dog, it appeared, belonged to a gentleman
named Burgess, who, with a party, was exploring
the country to the southward. The moment they
heard of the wreck, which was by the return of
the dog, they set out, and came up with tho sur/
vivors of the Rebecca on the 23d day uftertho
ship’s loss. The poor fellows were fast sinking
when the exploring party came up, and through
their attention aud kindness their lives were
preserved. On their recovery they set out tor
Hobart Town, which they eventually reached in
safety. The Rebecca was of 55*- tens burthen,
and is understood to huvo been lully ‘"Uf.®' •

The Society of Ladles.
The following portinont remarks occur at the
close of an article outhe dangers of “College Life,” ' i
from tho pen of a New York clergyman, which ap-
peared in the New Yotk Timet:
“The society ot Ladioa has done much for me 1
all tny life long; und it was the salutary, Softening '
influence of such associations tlint, with God’s
blessing, restrained me from many an excess into ,
which I might othcrwfco lmvc been led while re
ceiving my education. It is u bad sign when a young
man lias no relish for suoh company. Whatever
be a mao’s station in life, whether higher or lower, a
public or private, ho will become a better man, and
escape many a uisastcr, if he will listen in due -.i
season to the voice of the intelligent and the re
fined untong the other Hex. Not only do they gen
erally txuel us in their nice perception of tho pro
nottiey of ife, und in the tender sense of duty to j
both God and man,' bnt they are equally before t
us, in their iustinettvo facility of foreseeing evil I
before it is upon us, and of wisey discerning the jl
character and motives of men. It was not all a
dream, which made the wife of Julius Cesar so
anxious that ho should not go to the Senate Chsm- I
ber, on the fatal Ides of March; and, bad be com- M
plied with her entreaties, he might have escaped <
the dugger of Brutus. Disaster followed disaster
