The total number of the crew and pas-en geis, it is generally agreed, was above forty ; we understand some of the passengers have reported it at forty-eight.

Ellis Hilton, bound to this »ort, that, when twenty-one duvs out, about 1 M. tlie vessel struck on one ot the louble headed Shot Keys. In about ten minutes she went to pieces the deck load md boat better swept through a passage where die watOTyvas smoother, they all suc ceeded in getting into the boat. At day light, blowing ve y hard from the westward, Hey steered, the boat all that day and night to the Southward —in the morning, made a ' low sand key, and discovered two buildings upon it—landed, and found live men, whom yhey •.opposed to he fishermen. They were with them two diys. There was at this place one vessel of ab mt eleven tons, and two canoes, which they said belonged to them. There were two other boats there, which looked like the yawls of merchant vessels, and which the fishermen said did not belong to them, but to some people that were absent, and who would soon be back, capt. 11, made an agreement with the head fisii rman to take them to Matanzas for 41i • dollars, vas to help them t„ load their I vessel with fish, which capt. H. aryl, ere*, jdid, with gieat labour and fatigue, being ob- J Tig•«( to wade iiff a considerable distance, from the shore, to put the fish on board. The j vessel of eleven tons spoken of they hail got! loaded, and wen; getting under way, when| a boat of about ten t >ns came in, and tired' several times at them with muskets and jb n d ,rlojssCs--ihen anchored and o.iarded I them. Fait of the piratical crew examined! (lie fishing ve-sel, and part went on shtire to' the huts, they gave one of the fishermen two doubloons, and took him and the others! on board of their boat. There they drank! and caroused about half an hour, making! threatening menaces towards capt. li. in (liei fishing boat. During the time they sent a jug oi liquor to captain li. and crew, and! j made them dro k some. Soon altei loose) woo went to the huts joined the others, and came alongside of the fishing vessel, with! two canoes,drawn by the fishermen—the) piratical crew accompa <yini, w'ith swords and lung knives, whim they pointed at rapt.l hi. aim his me i, feeling ol dm edges • f ue, knives ami making the most appalling signs lo them.

Toe fishermen, two at each canoe, drawing them, and the others ' wading beside with their krives and cutlas ses drawn, giving them to understand that they were soon to feel them, which, horrible to relate, was the c se. Mr. Collins says that they first struck the ca| tain with a cut lass on the side of Ids netk, then put his nead across the gunwale of the b >at, or tanoe, and chopped il off. lie saw the heads of Mr. Meiary and the rest in (he canoe, cleaved open and their bodies stubbed and cot in the most horrible manner. The canoe tnat Mr. C. was in was nearest to the shore, and no sat in the middle between his two ] comrades-—one of them an old man, by the i name of ilussel, had his head entirely split , open lo his body, his blood flying over Mr. i C. Mr. C. attempted to spring from the i c inoe; at the -ante time he received a heavy blow on his bead, which nearly s mined him. He however soon hod his reason, so as to perceive himself out of the canoe, and un der the water, and the lashing on his arms either cut or broken, which he suppos ed was done either by his gieai exertion nude at the lime of his springing from the canoe, or from a misdirected blow from one of their cutlasses. He instantly sprung upon his leet and made for the shore, w ith several of the pirates after him. One of them reached him, and in attempt- ( i.g to run him through with his sword, made , a misstep aud fell his length into the water, winch b ave him a considerable start before the other could recover himself. His other comrade in the canoe, sprung from it, the j same instant with himself. He however | »,iw the pirates overtake and stab him before , ue reached the shore so that he is confident)] that no one escaped but himself. He got ; iniothe bushes and mangroves on the isl- ; ami ran with all Ids might until night--two . of the murderers in pursuit ot him and | which he did not lose sight of under two , hours, and he could he..r them in search of oim until sundown. J.t was about nine or ( leu in the morning when he made his es- , cape from the canoe. He secreted himself , i:.ni nigni in a thick bushy mangrove tree. In the morning started again.

As if the measure of his sufferings had not been sufficiently filled by the murderous ’ desperadoes of this island, after he left St. Clare, and had proceeded on his journey a bout 20 miles, passing a shop, two men, a 1 Spaniard and a negro came out, and forced him into (he shop, robbed him of all the clothes and one dollar in money, which he , had been kindly furnished with at St. Clare, by an English carpenter, and beat him in the most shameful manner.” This moment is thy own—the next is to the womb of futurity. —Every day’s occur rences test the ti utli of this aphoris n, and a melancholy illustration of it occurred a few !Hhys since. An aged, venerable couple,) whose children had emigrated from Ireland |to this country, stimulated by that feeling! which nature has implanted within every pa ) rent’s breast, spite of poverty and age, left) their native soil io visit their only surviving child who is engaged as we understand; in a, ithriving business at New-York. Two of j • heir eons died in their adopted countiyV ,i£.iuse— one under Gen. Urown the other Un- Mcr li n Winchester. Ihe snows of more titan eighty winters had fros ed the locks of ' i each, nut animated with the desire of seeing') !Ih ir child, they determined U> visit New (York—hui in their eagerness to come or) from want ot geographical knowledge they sailed for N. Orleans.—They suffered much ) from the.'climate a.id their indigence, but j through the k ’minus's of individuals, they arrived a few days since, as far as this place, ) in prosecution of their intended journey.— Sympathy is the product of every soil, and here they were lurnhhed with the means to 'reach Warrenton. 7 here, kindness again {alleviated their destitute conili Jon, ami they lcf f Warrenton in comfort, with letters to ( !another good Samaritan, who is ever willing ' )io pour me balm of consolation into the) J wounds of suffering humanity.

I ~ ] TUESDAY, FEBRUARY ga, 1825. This is the age of Canting ami the season ol re-canting, ami jet we take leave to place our conduct in opposition to the spirit of the 1 age, and the custom of the times. We have announced the election of Mr. Adams t to the Presidency—which, not being proph- \ ets, we could not foretell— with sincere re gret-regret, however, not unmingled with satisfaction, because we preferred this gon- / tleman to Gen. Jackson. To the pubiic°aad C private worth of Mr. Crawford, we have en- 1 deavottred to do justice and no more than \ justice—and -mce the Constitutional au- Uoonty has elevated another to that high of- B rue, in which we had hoped to see hfm re- J ceiving honor and dispensing benefits, we I shall endeavour to feel towards the new ad- 1 minis! ration a becumiug respect, and nevfr I causelessly, to attribute fault or blame to / 1 measures.

J| Ali tie time will shew whether “ the an- 1 tieat landmai ks” are to be preserved, or the 1 country yielded to the agitations of section- I al m personal jealousies ; wnetherthe dis- ■ lerences of political opinions are to be based | upon principle, or the nation tormented by M u,e nval ‘J «* Mr. Clay and Mr. Calhoun.

Ihe first openly chal- 1 tenges, and then claims from the House a de- fl cisiun of the controversy— he last professes fl a readiness to meet the investigation and to I prove his charges, and then writes a long ar- H gument to the Committee, the lame and im- H potent conclusion of which is, that he will fl neither appear as witness or accuser; and H Inus it is presumed, the Speaker’s pathetic fl appeal and the charges “ strong and point- yll ed,” made out of door and boldly repeated fl in the tfouse, will all evaporate “ into thin isl air.” This is “ children’s play,” but ou'dit fl it to be allowed by the House of Represeirta- fl lives r Mr. k. bus declared tbe Speaker to il be the subject of a corruption, equivalent to Bjl bribery, uM although he will not follow his fl declaration with die pi oof, he does nut re- )| tract it Ihe House then has clearly the | right to inquire into the truth of an allega- II tom, which implies so deep an impurity in ll its presiding officer.
