We have translated from the Diario de la Ha~
bawl, of the 23d of June, received by the brig
Lancet at this port, the fallowing article. A pas
senger, who politely favored us with the above pa
per, states that the Captain and crew of the brig
mentioned below, had arrived at Matanzas, having
been taken oIF by a coasting schooner, with some
materials belonging to the brig, and that she bad
been sold at Mat inzas, on tl c lieef as she stood, for
$4 25c. The suspicions of the British Officers, as
mentioned below, that this was a case of Piracy,
were, therefore, incorrect. —Charleston Patriot.
Havana, June 23.
The Am. brig Montevideo, belonging Belfast,
(Me.) under the command of an officer of her B.
M. s!oop-of-\var, Pickle, with a crew of seven
men. and a cargo of Molasses, and Fustic, arrived
at this port yesterday. The officers report, that
cruizing on the 13th instant, olf the mouth of the
old Bahama Channel, the found ashore at Key Gu
inclio, the above named brig, with nothing but car
go on board, the cabin having been ransacked, and
a boring being commenced on the starboard side of
the vessel.
Upon reconnoitering the Key, there was discov
ered a tire, about being extinguished, a dog about
the lire, and a box ol papers, that gave informa
tion of the name, &c. of the brig, sho being from
IS'euvitas, bound to New York, whi« h caused the
officer to suspect that the brig must have been
taken by pirates, and that they had made their
e-cape as soon as they perceived the vessel of war,
as they found no living soul on board the brig, or
on the Key.
A Reminiscence of Maktin Van Bures.
—The editor of the Evening Journal in remar
king upon the letter of a Louisville shoemaker,
who lately renounced Van Burcnism, relates the
following anecdote of Marlin Van Burenanda
Kinderhook shoemaker.
“In the summer of 1811 we were an apprentice
in the office ol “The Lynx,”a newspaper printed
in Onondaga-Hollow by Thomas Crittenden
I Fay.—Among the village politicians was a jour
neyman shoemaker of the name of Brown, who
had worked at Kinderhook long enough to im
bibe a high estimation of Martin Van Buren,
who, in his estimation, was the beau ideal of
Republicanism and eloquence. Brown talked so
much and so warmly of his Kinderhook friend,
that wc came to regard him with equal admira
tion. The printing office and shoemaker’s shop
were in the same building. One afternoon,
while sitting by our oracle, who was “ waxing
his end,” the stage drove past, and Brown, to
his inexpressible delight, espied Mr. Van Buren
among the passengers! He was in ecstacics.
The strap and lap-stone were thrown aside,
and having performed his ablutions, the warm
hearted shoemaker hastened to the stage house
(kept by John Adams,) to interchange greetings
with his friend. We, anxious to see a Republi
-1 can whom we had Icen taught to admire, walked 1
respectfully along on the opposite side of the street.
Mr. Van Buren was strutting with a peacock’s air
and plumage on the piazza. Brown approached
Mr. Van Buren eagerly, look his hand and gave
it a hearty shake before he descovcred that the
great man had forgotten him! “Why, sir, my
name is Brown. lam your old associate and
friend. We have passed many days and nights
together.—You cannot have , forgotten me !” but
he had forgotten him ; and alter a few embarras
sed inquiries and artificial replies, the repulsed
friend walked oil'pained and mortified to see a
professing Republican play the practical Aristo
crat. The poor journeyman shoemaker spoke
no more of “Martin Van Buren,” and in a
few days afterwards, picked up his “ kit ” and
with a wounded spirit “ tramped ” out of the vil
lage.
We have a distinct recollection of Van Bu
ren’s looks and manner on that occasion. They
were supeicilious and foppish. He was the
same coxcomb and dandy then that he is now.
We hated and despised him then for thus heart
lessly insulting an humble, but honest admirer
and friend, and all that we have seen and known
of him since, has led us to hate and despise him
still more.”
The Defaulter’s Farewell.
Air —The Bride's Farewell .
Fare well, Amos ! thou art filling
Extra Globes with extra lies ; ,
I would aid thee,oh, how willing !
But my dark fate onward cries
Farewell, Amos, now I leave thee, —
Hopes auJ fears my bosom swell;
"Where I go they may believe me—
Thou could'st never, Fare thee well !
Farewell, Martin ! thou art smiling,
But there’s sadness on thy brow ;
Vain the hope that’s now beguiling.
Vain the trust that fills ihee now.
Farewell, Martin ! ihou didst give me
Office, ere thy fortunes fell;
And I’ll love, although I leave thee,
Suffering Martin, fare thee well!
Farewell, Calhoun ! thou art turning.
As thou didst when first wc met,
Still thy patriot bosom burning,
On the strongest side to get.
Farewell, mild and gentle Levi,
Though more dear than words can tell,
Amos ! Martin ! Calhoun I Levi !
All belov’d ones, fare ye well.
From the Louisville Journal.
Oh i Had we only met.
Oh ! had wo only met, when life and hope were
new,
When love, unmingled with regret, lay on oui
hearts like dew,
I had not heaved a sigh, when wrapt in that sweet
trance,
I raised my own and met fiine eye, returning
glance for glance.
Oh ! do not prize me less, for yielding to the power,
The soft delicious dreaminess, that filled that twi
light hour,
I thought its spells were thine, around my spirit
wove,
And half-forgot it was not mine to give thee love
for love.
Love ! did I call it love ? it will not bear the name,
A softer thought our bosoms moved, a tenderer,
milder (lame,
I felt it in the tone, that thrilled thy low reply.
As thy warm lip, beside ray own, responded sigh
for sigh.
d love thee not, but oh ! if wc had met in youth,
V hen first we dreamed of passion’s glow, its fer
vor and its truth,
Perhaps it had been mine with whispers soft and
lo w,
To place my little hand in thine, and murmur vow
for vow.
Dear one ! for dear thou ait, thou know’st it is not
mine
To lift the veil from this deep heart, nor yet to
gaze in thiiie.
But oh I were 1 to speak, of all I hop? an 1 near.
Even thou would’st scarcely deem it weak —to
give me tear for tear. Amelia,

Ihe transactions in cotton since our review of
, \\ ednesday morning last,have-been on a very mod
erate scale. Ihe sales of Wednesday only amoun
ted to 600 bales, on 1 bursday they were 1100, and
, yesterday about 1200 bales. This inactivity, how
evei, has been less owing to a want of demand,
i than to other causes, among which we may enu
[ meiate as the most prominent, the difficulty of en
gaging vessels unless at advanced rates, there be
ing butfew now unemployed—the scarcity of Lou
isiana and Mississippi cottons, especially of the
better grades, whicii continue to be in the greatest
reque>t, and the high pretensions of holders, who
are but little disposed to realize even at our pre
sent quotations, which, it will be seen, are a quarter
ol a cent higher than previously. Our receipts have
now dwindled down to a very trifling amount per
week, and as the season is so well advanced, we
must expect them to continue light until the grow
ing crop begins to ome forward. The sales for
the week amount to 13,709 bales, and for the last
three days to 2,900.

Sugar. —Louisiana.—The return of fair weather
has brought with it little business in this article,
but the market must still be considered quite dull,
as the transactions of the last few days have been
principally confined to limited parcels to the city
trade. There is some enquiry for shipment to the
North,but we have heard of no sales of impor
tance within the last day or two. Some lots are
going on ship-board which were disposed of some
days since. The receipts, since our iast, have been
very light, owing probably to the rainy weather
having prevented the loading of schooners and
steamboats, at plantations. There is, however, an
ample supply on the Levee, though the greater
part is in the hands of speculators, who are still
firm at our previous quotations—say 3$ a 5$ cts.;
indeed, as high as 5$ and 5J have been obtained
fur some small parcels of very choice quality.
We have heard of no transactions on plantation
since our last. The greater part of the stock has
- now passed into second hands, leaving but few
crops for sale by the planters.
Molasses. —There is oily a moderate stock on
the Levee, but the very limited demand has caused
a further slight define in prices. Vve now quote
at 17 alB cents per gallon for barrels. We are not
advised of any transactions on plantation.
Flour. —In our report of Wednesday morning
last, we represented the market as being dull,
though fir n, particularly for fresh arrivals, at $3
62$ a 3 75, for Superfine, with a tendency to im
prove. Since then a little better demand has
been experienced, though the transactions are still
very limited, and the firmness of holders has ena
bled them to obtain a slight advance. We now
quote Superfine at $3 75 a £3 87$, remarking that
some few sales of fresh flour, of favorite brands,
have been made as high as $4 00. At the same
time there are parcels that have been some time in
store, which can probably be bought at something
less than our lowest figures Among the sales of
the last three days, we notice 450 bbls for export
to Cuba at $3 75, and 400 bbls for city use at
$3 87$. The receipts continue limited, and hol
ders of fiesh parcels at the Levee are very firm,
some refusing to sell even at $4 00.
Bacon. —The >tack is only moderate, the receipts
having been light for some time past, but no im
provement has taken place either in prices, or de
mand. Small sales are still made at 10 cents for
< anvassed Hams, 8 a 8$ for uncanvassed do., 71 a
8 for Shoulders, and 4$ a 5 cents, for Sider.

A CARD. —In crossing the Savannah river in
the ferry boat from Hamburg to Augusta,on Satur
day atternoon, May 30, I threw (by permission)
my blue broadcloth cloak into the one horse wagon
of an individual, who, with his wife and a small
child, was crossing at the same time. The wife
knew of the fact, for it was to her I addressed
myself. When I arrived at the landing, I came off
leaving my cloak, which was carried off by the
individuals alluded to. The lady, if I mistake not,
told me they were moving from South Carolina to
the western part of this State, (Georgia). If any
kind friend could give me the clue to their names,
or the place to which they were travelling, so that
I may obtain my valuable cloak, he would confer
a favor upon one who at limes is too forgetful for
his own interest. JAMES SEWELL,

I PEDIGREE.
J. R. H. Acklin, Esq. of Huntsville, Alabama,
certifies as follows : —“ Tom Tunstall was foaled
mine on the 29th May, 1831. His dam was High
land Mary .and her dam a full-blooded Archie mare;
1 the sire of Highland Mary was old PacoleL Tom
■ Tunstall was sired by old Pacific, and he by old
Sir Archie. This is as far as lam able to go, tho’
• 1 arn satisfied Tom Tunstall has descended from as
Hood a stock as any horse in the United States.—
; He was a race horse of tiie first order, but I fear
> will never be able to make a first rate race again,
owing to his leg; it was injured when a three year
5 old, in training, as 1 believe. By addressing Har
dy Cryer, Gallatin, Tennessee,you can get a full
5 pedigree of the dam of Tom Tunstall.” The same
Mr. Hardy Cryer certifies thus: —“ Highland Mary
5 combined as many or more rich crosses of thorougn
breds than any maie ever raised in Tennessee. —
She was got by the noted horse Pacolet, the son of
- imported Citizen ; her dam Rosey Carey by Sir
1 Archie; grand-dam Sally Jones by the imported
• horse Traveller, called Big Ben or Charlemaine,
> (son of O’Kellev’s Eclipse, and one of the purest
importations of the last century;) great grand-dam
by the imported horse Wrangler; great-great-grand
' dam O’Possum by imported Shark; great-great
-5 great-grand-dam by the celebrated American quar
? terrace horse, Goode’s old Twigg; great-great
s greal-great-grand-dam by imported Fearnaught;
1 great-great-great-great-great-grand -dam by Lee’s
' old Mark Anthony out of a mare by imported Mou-
J key.” On the sire’s side it is deemed unnecessary
to trace beyond Sir Archie. It is presumed none
will require a purer or better attested pedegree!
