worms, and takes from it that thin inner!
rind which lies between the coarser bark
and the, wood of the tree. This being slee-j

The coinage of this p iper money is au- !

of the seal, tinged with the vermiUion re-J

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. The Diamond
sailed from New-Ymk on tlie 1 it Ii Decem

“ The person saved, and who now gives
ne the following account is Mr. Daniel Col
lins, of Wiscasset, state of Maine, tie want
second officer of ihe vessel lost, —lie states
that he left Wiscasset the brig
Betsey, with Capt. 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,

tance inn; a cove. 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. He came (
to the beach, and saw two or 3 miles dis
tant a.Miner Key or Island, which he swam h
(n, ami then continued his march with all (
-peed nti Ins exhausted nature would al- (
S.,w, A*ter s\viiiuniiig ami travelling trum |
.me island to another for several days, lie ,
reai mil the main i-lann Cuba and espied u| (
i'ianl ■ twin, where he stopped, anil inetwilhi
ki d .I'eaioieui, having been all the ttme (
without any sustenance Liu 1 some limes which)
ne m md. Ihe n..me ol ■ u plantation wheiej
nc snip ped was ot. CLie. As soon as he j
was able to travel he obtained a passport,
ard set out for Matanzas, and arrived here
yesterday. His feet are now so swollen and
blistered that he is scarcely able to walk. He
> was before the Gov, yesterday—l brought
him on board to receive Ml the particulars of
■ the case from his own mouth, to communi
cate to you, by my own desire, as well as
Lthat-uf several ctMimamlfcrs here, amt I have
1 but just finished as he is sent for, to go be
; fore the Governor 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. For some j
'mrles, before the stage leached Maj. Ghol
Iso ,’s the old Lady appeared much exhaus
ted, and rested against lief husband. When j

Second thoughts are best,” saith the J

dwe may judge from the conduct of Messrs' J

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
