not the gift of kings or potentates,

3( |. That in nil just governments, the good of

J\*ciV‘Tork, Jan 27.—A concurrence of circum
stances has led to the discovery of an infernal
conspiracy in this city, which has been marked
'with no ordinary features of atiocity. An Ital
ian servant in tlio employ of a respectable fami
ly, was dismissed bv the master of the house on
Thursday last, for drunkenness. To revenge
imself he meditated, in company with one of
is countr-imen, and the black female cook in
he same family, to carry their diabolical plot in
effect. It appears, that the Italian, alter be-
ug dismissed, returned with his companion to
he house the same evening, and while in the
‘tcbeii with the cook, in conference, was over
card by the chambermaid, in explanation of their
’ans. On the alarm being given, and proper
eorch made, the two Italians were discoved and
ecured. The cook confessed that their plan was
'take advantage of the absence of (lie master of
e bouse, who was about leaving town ; and in
e evening, by a given signal, were to be let
nto the bouse by her. Their design was to vi-
late the females of the family, consisting of two
ndies and two servant girls, and to murder them;
fter which, they intended to rob the house, set
re to it, and escape. The cook also confessed
hat she was to receive SIS* 1 after the plate had
eti sold, mid corroborated that part of the con
trary. which had been overheard by the maid,
he parties have all been apprehended by Hu
rt Phillips and Azel Concklin, constables of
7th ward, secured in Bridewell, and will
ortly be put on their trial. Tim discovery of
lis infernal design lias prevented a terrible event,
nd will serve to operate as a caution to families
hireing foreign servants. These particulars
ave becu related to us by the gentleman of the
uuse.

many well informed individuals, that the ex-

A letter from a gentleman in Liberty county,
to the editor, dated the 9th inst. says “ Some ini
portant, though strange rumours, are circulating
here. It has been reported tliat an express was
sent by the Governor of Augustine to the officer
commanding at Darien, bearing information that
‘ a British squadron was oil 1 that place.’ But I
think there is very little truth in the report. One
thing is certain, the British flag has been seen
there, but that probably may have been some mer
chant vessels.”

this subject, which has been made to the minister
of Spain in this country, ajust regard has been
paid by the executive to the vote of the house,
and the public feeling of which it was indicative.
The answer of the minister is, as might jiave been
expected, from the nature of the subject, little
more than a polite acknowledgment of our secre
tary’s letter : It is only by instructions from his
sovereign, that he could be authorised to give a
definitive reply to the demand of our govern

Value of Florida.—The following extract
from a Jamaica paper, is well worthy the atten
tion ot the U. S.—Feathers will show how the
wind blows. To the Editor of the Jamaica
Colonial Journal. “ Sir—The anxious desire of
the U. States to obtain possession of East Flori
da, which from being the key of the Gulf of
Florida, will lay the commerce of the Spaish
colonies, in time of war, entirely at their mercy,
is sufficiently well known ; and our Jamaica
planters and merchants ought to look to them
selves, as they have certainly the most serious
cause of alarm at the prospect of East Florida
falling into the hands of the United States.
In time of war, the latter would thence have
a perfect command of the Gulf of Florida. It
would be a measure of sound policy, were the
Spanish Government to cede the Floridas to
Great Britain ; and to induce the British Govern
ment to this acquistion, it is proper to mention,
that they would furnish it with a regular supply
ot naval stores, such as pitch, tar, turpentine,
masts and ship-plank ; wit 1 live oak of the great
est magnitude, for ship-building, with which the
provinces abound. There is another circum
stance which ought to have great weight. As
the British would thus acquire the exclusive
possession of liva oak, the Americans would be
thereby excluded from its use in forming a dura
ble navy, and be obliged to use their own worth
less oak, which will not last above six or seven
years, at the expiration of which period, they
must be at the enormous expense of renewing
their whole fleet. Live oak is a wood of such
extraordinary durability, that after the trees
have been exposed to the changes and inclemen
cy of the seasons for upwards of a century, it
acquires a stony hardness, and will resist the
edge of the best tempered steel. The Govern
ment of the United States are acquainted with
its value ; their first frigates were built of this
wood, from trees collected in South Carolina
and Georgia : they also procured frames for ten
or twelve seventy-fours, which were depo
sited in their arsenal, but were wisely destroyed
by Sir Alexander Cochrane. There are now only
a few scattered trees in Carolina and Georgia ;
perhaps sufficient to build a frigate. In the pen
insula of East Florida, there is one of the best
and tnost secure harbors in America, which will
receive from fifty to one hundred sail of the line.
