Through these the few Spaniards the Island govern. The disjointed state of the Spanish empire, has from necessity opened the trade of Manilla to the World, and for some > .-am, ships from all nations have ,„ited the port, the natural consequence of ohicb was, a greater demand for the pro ductions of the soil, and a proportional en hancement of their value. New plantations were forming, and a spirit of industry and enterprise was beginning to appeur in the country—this, one would suppose the go vernment would view with pleasure—it is said that it was otherwise. Jealousy with fureigners. particularly of the Kuropeans and Americans, was the consequence, and a de termination to get rid of them the first op portunity. It was probably necessary to premise the above to account for the origin the late horrid massacre committed in Manilla. The city of Manilla is situated in the neighborhood of the lake Bahia, on the bor ders of which a great quantity of filth had accumulated. Tile populatiun outside the wall mty probably amount to two hun dred thousand, (a few Chinese, foreigners, k trailing people excepted) almost exclusively Indians. They do not form one continued cilv, but rather a collection of large villages densely inhabited, aftei the Malay manner. Sometimes in the month of September, un usually heavy rains cause the lake to over flow its hanks, and spread itself over the country for some distance around—upon its subsiding, the accumulated filth and large quantity of vegetable matter when exposed to a hot “'in, soon produces an epidemic dis ease (cholera merlins) whieh daily carries -iff hundreds of the natives. Unfortunately the same disease had, for one or two years af flicted India, and was then raging in China. It required no great address to make the In dians believe that the disease was imported, and to turn their rage upon the foreigners.— Accordingly on the 9tli of October they as sembled about 11 a. H. when the attack tommenced. Such numbers were engaged, that it was thought impossible for the government to be uninformed of the plans, and yet so well was the secret kept from the foreigners, ig norant of the language, that not one was *- ware of the danger that threatened him.— The first person attacked was M. Gndefoi, (a surgeon) whom they left for dead—he was taken to the guard house, and on his re covering a little, his hands were tied behind him by the soldiery of the regular army, and in this situation conducted lu the Currigi- dore’s prison, where ha remained *4 hours without assistance. Goof'd, (the naturalist) and capt. Wilson, of the English ship Me- cope, immediately waited on the Governor, uut t«»«. «#u!y sAtisfictfon thfj' fouM wt ‘‘wan that he would consider of it.” The above gentlrjnen with J. Wilson an American mid shipman, were soon afterwards, murdered in the Escarta. The governor appeared on Esrarta directly after the murder, and while the bodies Were exposed to his view, expos tulated with the men on what they were do ing, but took no measu^ to stop the masse ere. He soon left there, and this so far en couraged the mob, that they afterwards as serted that what they were doing was by the governor'll orders. The hotel for foreigners was then nttacked—ten Frenchmen were murdered—(another Gantin) a very power ful man fought his way through the mob ■with his fists, only receiving several wounds from llie.ir pikes and knives. When be readied tile street his sight failed, and lie would have fallen a sacrifice had not a Spa nish civil officer seized him, and tying his hands, led him to the guard house ; where the officers put him in irons, and were going to finish the work, when he demanded a Confessor—they sent for one—in the mean time, u Spanish officer arrived (Saint Olive, and saved him, sending him to the hospital. Guillon was shot by an officer of the regu lars. Mr. Duntxfcidt’s house was attacked about 2 e. M.—the iloora were very strong and resisted the force of the mob for three h eirs. About o’cluck the governor ap peared in front of the house with a guard of about fifty foot and some dragoons—he ini- plored tile populace to desist—they hooted at him, and raised tln-ir pikes to lus breast. Instead of dispersing them lie retired, and did not afterwards interfere. At this mo ment there were four or five thousand troops quartered within two furlongs of the place, and could have been brougnt up in fifteen minutes, os most of them were under arms. The duo. resisted two hours longer, when the mob entered, and mangled eight persons in so horrid a manner, that their bodies could not be distinguished—the next morning the mob commenced plundering aud murdering the Chinese. The troops were then drawn up in co lumns before the city gates, It a proclamation issued to hang every fifth roan they should take unless they immediately retired peace ably to ther homes. The proclamation was instantly obeyed. These vigoroua measures Were pursued it is said in consequence of the declaration of Col. San Merlin, to the Go vernor in Council, threatening to place him self at the head of hia regiment, aud for the honor of Spain, put down the mob without his Excellency’* orders. The surviving foreigners accuse the Go vernor or acquiescing in the measure* of the moll to prove which the above cases are mentioned a* being tho*e where the govern- br was present or were perpetrated by his civil or military officers. Power never for an instant passed from him, be was beard to implore but not to threaten—no one was punished for his agency, even the sergeant Who shot Guillon, was liberated from Ins confinement and was seen the next day at the head of his platoon escorting the Host!

Naturalization.—We acknowledge the receipt of a communication from “ An Alien Subscriber,” in reference to the short article which appeared in this pa- per on the 29th ult. with respect to the naturalization of aliens j and requesting more precise information on that subject Without preface, we proceed to in form him, that there are three things indispensable to the naturalization of an alien in the United States j namely, 1. A report of hiiuself on his arrival. 2. A declaration, twro years afterwards, ol bona fide intention to become a citizen. 3. And, three years after that, a de claration, upon oath or affirmation, to support the constitution of the United States, and a renunciation of all foreign allegiance. It is believed that the first of these re quisites has, in many former instances, been neglected ; aud that, from a loose practice in some ol our courts, aliens have passed to the final act of naturaliza tion, and entered upon the rights of citi zenship, without a compliance with it at all. It is to this particular, viz. the Re port on Arrival, that we have wished to draw the attention of persons interested; and to advise them that it is not sufficient to begin with the Declaration of Inten tion. Without the preliminary report, in fact, ail the proceedings will be vitia ted, null nud void ; and, however long any alien may have been resident in the United States, if he has omitted to report himself, he must, with a view to citizen ship, begin by doing so ; unless he re sided within the limits of the United States between the 18lh of June, 1798, and the 14th of April, 1802 ; in which case, for reasons connected with the po litical history of the country, he is favor ed by the provisions of the Act of Coo- gress of the 2tith of March, 1804. Congress have been aware of the o- inissions with regard to the Report on Ar rival ; and, with the desigo of instruc ting the marshals, clerks and protbo- notaries of courts, and the collectors of the customs, on this head, by a resolution of tue loth of Apiil, 1010, they directed thousand copies of the laws in force re specting naturalization to be printed aod distributed. This, we understand, was done. And, at the same session, to pre vent naturalization with like omissions in future, the Congress enacted the law of the 22d of March, 1816, which requires that the certificate of report, and the cer tificate of declaration of intention, shall both be exhibited by every alien, arri ring in the United States after the 18lh of June, 1812, arid applying to be admit ted to citizenship ; and both these cer tificates are to be recited, at full length, in the record of tho court admitting such alien. In conclusion, the act of the 11th of April, 1802. (which will he found at page 476, vol. 3, of the new edition of the Laws of the U. State*.) contain* all the rules necessary to be observed by an ali en who is desirous of becoming a citi zen-; what has been enacted since, he ing for the special purpose of enforcing those rules.—.Vat. hit. Hich.mo.vd, April 13. CRIMINAL LAW. It seems, that a Jury have Item kept to getlwr in this city near four weeks, without any prospect of their agreeing iqum a ver dict. They were iiupannclled, on tile first week of the session of the circuit court for this county, to try a prisoner for atahhiug. His counsel took the ground of Self-defence; the jury were, however, hung—and it is pre sumed no verdict il now to he expected.— Meantime the jury are ordered tu he kepi together—and will ostensibly remain so until the adjournment of the court. The rule in a civil caseappears to he different from what it is iu a ciiminal one—m the former a jury man may he withdrawn, and the case laid over—bnt in a criminal case, however anx ious the parties may he to withdraw a jury man, and to waive all exceptions to such proceeding, the common law does not ad mit of any such relaxation. Is this correct ? Is it not time to “ correct the procedure" hy a written Isw? Lay the facts and the law as clearly as you can before the jury—but if they cannot agree upon a verdict, why at tempt to force them into a compromise of their principles by the prospect of a protract ed confinement ? The time lias gone by w hen jurymen w ere starved into a v erdict, nr trundled about with the Judge through the circuit—is it net high time to abolish the remaining branch of this absurd rule ?

(Em. PosLJ “ Callao, U. S. frigate Maccdouian, / November II, 1840. ) “ As you, no d oubt, long before you re ceive tins, will have heard of the outrage wnich has beeu committed on our flag here, I will briefly stale to you wbat I was an eye witness of, and w hat lias since transpired.— On tile night of the 8th iust. at 1-1 past 14, Lord Cochrane scut in fourteen boats to cut out a Spanish frigate (the Esmeralda) of 38 goiis—she was lying within inuskvl shot of the h.ittenet, with 13 gull boats, aud two brigs of 18 guns each, around her. He suc ceeded in gaining possession of her in about tilteen minutes. We lay about Itali a cable's length asieruot her. Assooiihs .le y had cut her cables and paid her bead off shore, tlm batteries, castles, hulks, and ill lad every tiling that could mount a gun, began to play away upon her ; upon us, and even upon the inoffensive m riiantmeu in the harbor.— We and all tile American aod English rncr- I'hautnien immediately slipped our cables, and as the wind was very light, it was some lime before we could get out of reacu of their guns. It appeared to me tint tiny pointed their guns particularly at us. The allot flew about us thicker than if we had been engaged with a vessel of the same force, within musket shot. But, as is usual with wards, they were ton much confused to take deliberate aim, otherwise they would have sunk us in ten minutes. The only in jury vve received was ourcrossjack-yard ■ hot away with a little of the running rigging.— Immediately on slipping the cables we paid the ship's head the contrary way to Esmer alda’s, and kept her to until out ol gunshot, at least half a mile apart ; so that it is sell- evident, there could he no mistake iu firing at us. If any other proof was wanting, the fact that vve picked up at least a dozen mus ket balls on hoard aftei the affair, would im mediately set it at rest. On the morning of the 7th, we sent, ns ii- sual, a boat ashore to market, with Mr. Mar shall, midshipman, of New York, (son of Dr. Marshall, of the Navy Yard,) and nine men: when the boat’s crew were ordered to loss their oars hy Mr. M. being close toihe wh irl', the soldiers on guard fired into her; killed Mr. M. and four of the men, four more bad ly wounded, and one only escaped to bring the news. Those who were not killed, or wounded at first were pelted while in III" water with stones, hy these blood thirst) villains. There is no excuse for them ; Un- American Hag was (lying m her—the same boat went on xhur- every morning—The crew were selected us being the most trusty and peaceable men in tile ship. Mr. Mar shall was selected that morning, as particular confidence could be placed in him, though hut a boy of perhaps eighteen. It is impos sible for ine to describe the sensations tins affair has caused on hoard ; the feelings ul all are almost wound up lo frenzy for their murdered shipmates, and the indigmty offer ed tootir flag.—But I have not;et done. On the morning of the bill, the schooner Rampart, of Baltimore, got under way, by agreement with the authorities on allure to receive her cargo. Immediately, on her coming within gun allot of the castles, tlu-y opened on her. with all the vessels, guii-hoals, kc. in the harbour. The captain and nih- cers, (as there .vas but little wind and that on shore) mum dialely abandoned her, and she sunk before the numerous gun boats, 8ic. who valiantly came out to take her, could get herashore. We now communicate with the shore by Hag of truce—I hope sr shall communie.-ite no other way. Is that proud Hag which humbled the haughty Hi it on, to be wantonly insulted hy piisillaiuinous,eoiv- arilly, hll)-liw red .Spaniards ? Ate our in nocent ship-mates, the pride St future hope nf on:' country, to he thus wantonly lit'-.H- rred!—butchered, nod even denied ci’ris tian burial? There is,hi ray opinion hut one way to make them atone for It, and I hope the government will adopt that with* out a moment’* deliberation. At the time .Air. Marshall was murdered, capt. Downes mid Mr. Rogers were in Lima. On raptain Downes’ passing the Vice-Roy’s palace, se veral officers and citizens were ov erheard to say, “ there goes the rascal, vve will have his blood next.” The excuses made hy the go vernment for nil these, outrages, is that they were cnmmittrd hy an enraged populace.— I have before beard ot mobs committing the greatest excesses, resisting tile rivil and mili tary power, flying in the face of justice—hut never till non , did I hear of a mob which at the most could not consist of 1500 men, tak ing possession of castles, armed vessels, bat teries, tve. di fended by at least 30011. Capt. Downes and Sir. Rogers had to dis guise themselves to get on board- Captain D. left all the haggagr and two servants, in Lima—whether he will ever get them or not is uncertain. P. S.

Nor is the ev il confined to our own narrow limits’ where the mischief originates. The party- wsr is attempted to he waged abroad as well as at home, hy which our state and its citizens are made the subjects of indignant remark or of sarcastic ridicule. Who, hut the infuriated partisan, must not wish for a termination to such a state of things? The severe comment* of Die National Gazette of Pliiladel]diia, of the George Town Mes- m iger, and other northern prints, on the pamphlet published some time past hy the Governor of this State, and industriously circulated afar off, were enough to irimsnn the rheeka of Georgians.

Of a much milder character, hut produced by the same cause, is the article vve now copy from the National Intelligencer. It is but sheer jus tice to the respectable Editors of that paper to say, tbai they intermeddle not with the parly feuds of the State dictated by propriety and accords with their interest.

The name of Ihe writer of the letter is withheld from the press, only because it is supposed he did not desire it to lie published, and the circuovilances do not make its dis closure necessary. In reference to the fact, we did not know of the removal of Mr. Mitchell,(tlinugh it had been rumored,) nor do we now knuw it from any other authority Ilian from the newspa per* iu the sta'e ot Georgia, where, lor some reason .»r other, the matter appears to have excited firculiar interest—and even in some of these it has lieen announced as a resigna tion, not as a removal. Moreover, it is not usual to announre appointments hy Die au thority of Die United States in that manner, When, in announcing a new appointment, il is nut stated that the late holder of an office is deceased or resigned, it follows of course that he is superseded.
