after a debate, the motion to produce reform ip

It might be supposed that amongst thoae who
thus fhtten upon the spoils of an oppressed
race, some would be found who possessed gen
erosity or juatice enough in thoir composition
to endeavor to relievo in some measure these
dreadful distresses. But we have heard of but
one instance, ami that of a prelate, who, with a
revenue of probably 70 or lUO.OQO dollara per

The Monthly Msgtaine for July contilns the
fallowing statement of tho public affairs of
Crest Britain ; the distress must be immense—
* The past month (June) has been one of
great agitation. A population in an extremity
of relative distress, with an efficient Parlia-
ment, and crowds of state and political quacks,
tendering their nostrums, and abusing tile anx
iety of the people. 1 ' " All kinds of raal pro
perly are depreciated with reference to money,
Land lets for half (he rent of seven yeats.
Ileuses in the best situations in London fetch
no premiums, and let at reduced rents. Coun
try houses and mansinns may be had fur two
thirds. Agricultural produce sells for half;
manufactured goods are generally lowered thir
ty five or forty per cent, shipping property is
reduced one half; colonial^ropeny even lo a
third, ami nothing keeps up but the Mocks,
debts, bills of exchange, mortgages, and the in
terest of debts. Regular industry therefore is
baffled, and persontl property iabecome a spe

I affairs of Spain an being in a slate of
disorder bordering on revolution. The
King had again been insulted with in
creased violence in Madrid. His guards
had been pelted with stones, had fired on
their assuilanis, and wounded several uf
them—Ihe rest dispersed. On the same
evening o lieutenant of the guntda waa
killed. During the next night lour of the
sit regiments of guards quitted the palace
barracks, left the capilal, and it is aaid
were determined to seek more loyal quar
tors, and form, the nucleus of an army of
Iriends to absolute’ monarchy. It waa
added, that they intended tn retire to Na
varre—a province on the French frontier,
of which Louis the XVIII, calls himself
King, although the province is within the
Spanish kingdom, aiid near which he has
an imposing army. Gen- Morillo, a faith
fill officer of the King and Cortes, had in
vain urged them to relinquish their rash
design ; and at the last date they had
reached Alcnbendas (about 30 miles from
Madrid tin the Navarre road) unmolested
Most of their oflicers had refused fo fol
low this movement. The King remained
in Madrid, in which tranquillity had been
restored; and had been called on to head
Ihe militia, and march against these re
volters. At the last date he had not o
beyetl the call; but to all appearance he
continued faithful to Ilia oath to support
the exialing Constitution. The spirit of
revolt was active in many of the provinces;
and a civil war appeared almost inevita
ble : But the forces faithful to the Con
stitution were iu activity ; and appeared
determined to perish, or suppress a coun
ter revolution. The patriotic city of Oa
diz had taken measures to repair its rain
payls, as the strong hold of the Cnnslitu
lion aud Liberty.—Bnstou Centintl.
Mary a pirate haa bean taken; and many
a print- saved from hia fangs. It remain*
for u> tn treat the buccaneer, who tails in
to our power with the severity which is tie-
c<aaary tostiike an awe into hia compan
ions,
But l hr evil goes nn. Cut off one head
of tldfuvdra anti ant)jhcr|rowa tip in ita
plare. The rich booty presented hy the
exte isiva commerce uf the West Indies,
tempts the idle aftt^ profligate seamen to
embark in tho enterpnte. The immuni
ties held nut principally iu the island uf
Cuba; the facmiies nl filting nut 1 the pi. .
rale and disposing of his booty, enenurngu
this nefarious speculation. The scenes
arc horrible to relate. Passengers ar#
atript of their all—females are insulted
and violated—the crews and captains are
hung up and tortured to extort cunfcssiunl
of concealed money.
Our naval force has done its duty.—«
What, though the Spanish navy has slept
upon its oars, and seen in the very sight
of dteir hatbors- such atrocities perpetra
ted upon their friends oreven upon tliem-J
selves? What though the 1000 ships oft
Britain have remained inactive, while
their merchant ships have fallen victims,
or been only saved from rapacit y by the
exertions of our seamen. The disgrace
is theirs, Ihe glory is ours. Our little na
vy has dune their duty—they have done
all that they could do—unless our large
ships were commissioned with corps of
matines tn land and cut up tho nests of
Ihe buccaneers on shore. But whatever
doubts may attend this expedient, both as
to its pulicy and expense, there is one t
measure which lltc government is bound f
to pursue. Where arc the nests of these
pirates principally found? Let the fol
lowing extract of a letter from on botird
the U. S. schoouer Grampus at Havana
inform us:
"The principal establishment of the pi
rates is neat- Principe, the capital of the
island, and it hardly sectna possible for
the United Staten, without the aid of go
vernment, (honestly afforded) to put these
marauders down. Most of the expedi
tions arc filled out, in Ihe first instance,
at a village called Reptiles, one quarter
of a mile from this city, and under Ihe
eye of the government. More than one
hundred persons belonging to this place
are known to he concerned in this infa
mous a-td abominable business—however,
hut little can he expected from the present
rulers here, whilo they keep the men of
war in port, and suffer Hie little patriot
cruizers lu capture their merchant vessels
almost tinder the guns of the Mnro, and
on all parts of the coast. The British.'
cruizers seems lo be as careless of pro
tecting their defenceless merchantmen
from the pirates, as they are anxious tu
run from port to port, carrying specie.”
And are we to suffer in patience this
horrible weakness, neglect, connivance,
(state it as you will) front Spain? Cuba,
(where the Villa del Ptittgipe is^ belongs
to Spain. Site is liable To? the use, that
she mokes or suffers to he made, of her
, urisdictioti. If slit- wants the will to
drive the pirates away, she is liable; if
she wants the power, she is equally so.
She is as much so, as if we wore to suffer
boligerent vessels to equip and to plunder
our friends. This is the law of nations;
it is the language of common sense. W#
have a light, therefore from Spain, as
much ns ive had a right to indemnity for
the French spoliations committed under
her cloak or connivance. We demanded
indemnity for this wrong—we obtained it.
We must make a similar demand for the
piracies which she is either too weak nr
unwilling to prevent. If sho refuses it —
ifslte will not put forth her strength to
prevent their repetition—we would event
he justified in taking temporary possess
ion td'Hie obnoxious places. We must
speak a plain longutigo lo her—and no
lime ought tube lost (if any hns been ac
tually lost) in making our demand.
