Jliose who seek for it-and our ambitious spirils

of feeling exists, It is in vain to expect that the

maintained a contrary doctrine, when ilsglaring

lo every man who is not blinded by obstinacy
or the maintenanee of a false theory. We hope
hereafter, that the unnecessary restrictions plac

be modified—and that passengers from healthy

never be bruughtlinto competition with that

In the mummory at tho coronation of Ytur-
bide, the archbishop and bishops of the empire
acted a conspicuous part. We arc much mis
taken if the new emperor is not one ofthe most
priest-ridden ol tite race at the present day. He
evidently relies upon their support more than
upon the unbiassed opinions ofthe people. The
protection of tile church, and not of the people,
b the principal obligation of his oath i and with
becoming humility, lie promiaes to render to
the llithn/is tho honor which is their due, and to
keep inviolable ail those tilings which kings
and emperors have conceded and willed to the
ehuroheo. Promises generally easily made are
eas ly broken f but In this instance the rule will
not traverse-the established church of no na
tion has ever yet been found willingly tn sur
render what haa once been obtained by it from
the fears or follies or its votaries. The follow
ing is the oath taken by Yturbideat Ills corona
tion, alluded to uliovc:
"I. Augustin Yturhide, entering asa servant
of God, into the command of the empire, do
protest ami promise before' Goo and Ills angels,
from henceforth, through 'divine gt»ce, and to
the best of toy knowledge and utility, to ob
serve and keep law,. Justice and peace In the
dliurch of God, and among all the people my
subjects,'knd to put in force whatever the
council ortho faithful may conceive most fitting
and lieBt. I also promise to render to the bish
ops of the church the hunor Which ia their due,
as ordained by the In.ly canons i and tu respect
as Inviolable nil those things which kings and
emperors have conooded and willed to the
churchea.”
I lie coronation of Ytiirbitle has disgusted a
great portion ofthe inhabitants of Mealco—
when they ure called upon to pay the cost bf this
imperial foolery, this sentiment will Increase.

•C/iarletltm, Sept. 23.—By letters re
eived yesterday from Bemfort, on the
subject of the arrest of certain slaves,
charged with attempting to excite an in
surWclion, it appears that a highly rea
pcctable court had been organized for tho
trial of eight Slaves, accused of that of
fence. After n patient investigation of
two days, they were acquitted, the courl
being perfectly saflsfied of their inno
cence. It appeared, however, to the
court, that the fellow who implicated the
others had been attempting to involve
them in treasonable acts. The court held
Ilia case still under advisement. It did
not appear that these transactions had
any connection with the recent conspiracy
in this place.
It is highly gratifying to find that tlicro
is no just ground for uneasiness on ac
count uf our friend* in Beaufurt, while the
result of these proceedings afforda addi
tional evidence of the-calmness, delibera
tion and perfect justice, with which cases
of this nature are investigated in South
Carolina.
An instance nf singular courage, and

Captain Driggs, of tho schooner Abi

tiny uf August. Next morning, ufl' Key
Kutuain, saw a schooner which gave chase.
When within about a league, we prepared
fur action, all hamU (12 men and 3 buys)
being ready to defend the vessel tu the
last moment. At sunset she fired a gun,
winch we returned. Soon after she fired
iigniu, when we inok in sail, and every
man waa stationed at his post. She came
up on our weather quarter,.within pistol
shot, hauled up her foresail, fired three
guna and musketry without hailing us,
She appeared full of men. We commenc
ed a fire upon her, nnd in about an hour
shot away her fore-yard, and fore-gtft.
She then ceisad firing, and hailed in Spa
uish, which we answered by telling our
character, and demanding to know his;
they made no reply. We commenced
firing again—she fia-d another gun, and
stood lift Capt. Smith, who was-an board,
received a musket-ball through his onn.
At daylight next day, ,we made sail, and
found our fore anti .fore topsail braces
shot away ; 22 shot hqd hulled uo, and 3
went through below the deck—much other
damage done—3 shot lodged in the arizen
mast, which with the lore topmast are
unfit for further service. The maiasnil
