In the neighborhood of the Island of Cuba. Hlie
was first boarded oil* Duya llonila, on the 3d

ten men, all Spaniards, armed with sabres and
daggers, and robbed of all t|ae gold and silver
'em board, including 135 Ibi. of old plate, 14 gold
'And 11 silver watches, a part of the cargo, to*
gether with 2621 dolluri, urn] 1700 belonging
’to a passenger—they were also robbed of other
articles composing the cargo, rigging, &c. and
the boat, wh.cbwas cut adrift. The captain of
the Azema then made for Havana, and on the
5th ln*t,when off Point Cabanoa, waa-nguin
* boarded by the same schooner. The search
for specie was then again commenced, but un-
' successfully, when the captain and passenger
were summoned from the cabin, a rope put
wbout their necks, and preparations made for
hanging them. After torturing them in thia
way, and-perceiving that their sufferings we* e
extreme, and that even the aspect of death
would extract nothing bom them, thoy let go the
ropes and restored them to life. An indiscrim
inate plunder commenced, when the pirate left
them, advising them to leave the coaat directly.
Some of the privateersmemwlwle on board the
brig, asserted that they had the day previous
taken an American ship and murdered the
whaUlfew with the exception of the carpenter

A case was decided in Boston, where a per-

whose visits were disagreeable, to leave it, and
upon Ilia refusal, todk him "gently” by the

winch ensued* both came with some violence to
the ground. Chief Justice Whitman decided,
that there was no breach ofthe pcucci that Cul
liiian (tlit plaint if) had a right to forbid Evans’
(the defendant) entrance into his premises, and
upon the refusal of Evans to leave them, was le
gally entitled “gently” to take hold of him and
put him out, being careful, as it appeared be
was, to abstain from violence. The defendant
accordingly was discharged.

The Monk of La Trappe who lias ex-

“ Consul ot the Moderate Republi
cans.*’
Some estimate^the spirit which pcr-A
vades the capital may be formed from this
language which was used in commenting
upon the events that took place at Ilia
Prado on the 7th of July. His Majesty,
it seems, expressed his wish on tliut occa
sion that an end might bo put to the effu
sion of blood ; but he added, tlmt “ it
would be inconsistent with Hie dignity of
the throne, that the King’s guard should
he compelled to lay down its arms.”
—On this the editor of the Uniycrsal
remarks, “We know not wlnft right rebels
had ol that time to call themselvSs the
King’s Guaitl. They had.made an im
proper use of their arms by turning them
against their follow citizens, and from
that moment they no longer deserved to
be entrusted with them.”
In another part of his comments he
observes that a single word of bis Majes
ty's might perhaps have pi evented the-
eight days’ excesses committed in his
presence; and that the day is at hand
when he wilt shudder at the idea that he
tolorated so many outaages.
The purport of such observations ia
very palpable, and the freedom of.ceostire

province, where the French influence ia
predominant, the representative of his

hove different customs, and are of differ

age bath, but wit perhaps unite both
against itself. Tho pretext of saving the
expense of a double administration, is al -
most too futile to deserve notice. Econo
my is not one of the virtues of the iuini9
try, and to make the saving of two or
three thousand pounds a reason for de
priving them of their vested rights, is to
insult the understanding of the Cana
dians, while injuring them in a vital point.
