PIRACY.*—A letter'from Havana of the 6th.
Sept, says:—“Little doubt exists but that the pi
ratical force in the neighborhood will be much in
creased, and we may expect to hear of - extensive
depredations 011 our commerce, .in consequence
of 130 or 140 sailors having beeu sent in here by a
Patriot privateer. They were token some few
'days since, off Havana,.out of two vessels bound
to the Coast of Africa, and two for Spain. These
men have no other resource than to rob, or go on
.board of a Spanish man of war ;‘aud three-fourths
of them will prefer the former. The . protection
which was some time since afforded to bur com
merce in this quarter by American cruisers, seems
Jatterly to have been almost entirely withdrawn,
ns it is seldom that any of them visit this port.
The V- S. sclir Sliark arrived here on the third

advantage of the protection ou} of the iigrbor.”

following account of damage sustained during the
gale of the 12th ult. at thnt placb. The ship Alex
ander was blown out and lost; crew and part of
her cargo saved. The sclir Five-Sitters, Rock;

their cables, and were driven onshore. Most of
the wharves were considerably injured from the
violence of the surf, and a number offences were
blown down.
No intelligence hod hoen received on the 11th

An extraordinary phenomenon occurred on the
2d Sept, nenr Haworth, about 01 miles froth
Leeds. A part of the high lands on the moors,
opened into chasms nnd sunk to the depth of 3: or
6 yards in some ptuces, und formed Uvo cavities,
one about 200 and jhe other about 600 yards in
circumference. From these issued two immense
volumes of muddy water, which, uniting at the
distance of 100 yards from their sources, over
whelmed the country for about two hours from 30
to 60 yards in width, from 3 to 4 yards in depth,
nnd fora distance of6or 7 miles.” All this way

Advices of the 10th of August, from Bucharest,
state that a Courier had arrived on ttlc Uth at ftuts-

Ibs, with intelligence that the Captain Pacha had
been completely defeated, nnd that many of his
vessels had taken refuge at Enos. ,
Accounts from Constantinople of the 30th July
give further particulars. The Greek fire ships had
destroyed several of the largest Turkish vessels
and compelled the Captain Pacha to seek shelter
in the Gulfof Smyrna.
An extraordinary Courier had arrived at Vienna
with letters confirming the above-news, und stat
ing the Turks lost five frigates nnd corvettes. The
Turkish commander is said th have been depriv

also incurred the displeasure of the GrandSeignor.
It is stated in a letter from Trieste, dated Aug,

Gunboata> and thus prevented the Turks in the Is
land from escaping. The Turks fell under the
swords of the Greeks. The affair of Ipsariot, is
stated to have cost the Turks 10,000 lives. Let

A letter from Corfu, dated August 1st. received
in London, by a member of the Greek Committee,
mentions the destruction of 15 or 16,000 Turks at
Ipsara. The Turkish fleet pursued and scattered
is said to have sought shelter in the port of Sray
na, where it may be easily blockaded by a portion
of the Greek fleet, leaving the remainder, to annoy
the enemy's coast, or to encounter the, Egyptian
fleet, should it ever put to sea. Nothing ot inter

Letters from Egypt mention that the Paclm will
raise 50,000 bales of Cotton this year. A London

LIVERPOOL, Sent. 10.
Sr air.—We have been not a little puzzled with
the letter received in Liverpool yesterday, ns it is
utterly at varinneewith the latest intelligence from
France. Tarifa,according to the French accounts
was taken on the li>th ult. and the citadel on the
20th; notwithstanding which, xvc have hero a let
ter of a later date by one day, which states that
Tarifa was, on the 21st ult. in the possession of the
Liberals. This letter is addressed to u highly res
pectable house in Liverpool, by a correspondent
111 Gibraltar, which is only nine' miles from Tarifa.
We can readily believe tliat the prostituted French
journalists wilt fabricate any intelligence which
may suit the views of their government; but we
cannot so promptly give credence to the existence
of so formidable 11 force ns thnt said to he,so strong
ly entrenched under Valdes in Tarifa.
Extract of a letter received from Gibraltar, da
ted 21st August:—“You will,doubtlets.hnvr heard

Still holdout in defiance of the French and royalist

two officers, nnd some hundred men killed and
wounded,with two pieces of artillery taken by
the Constitutionalists in a sortie made from tho

where they have landed, nnd been joined by 5 or
GOO men; and by last accounts were proceeding by
the Granada Mountains towards Malaga, in which
place they say all is ready for them. 1 know not
whut it will end in: but the country Is in a wretch
ed state. No one ventures now into Spain from
here; all the. country houses, itc. deserted, for wo
hear them firing in different directions every hour.
O'Donncl the Governor of Algccirus (detested by I tlifiir views of gain at our expense. But

[Extracts from the Pamphlet.)
“ Those who understood the true inter
ests of Tcnncsse, then exclaimed against
the appointment of Jeckson ns Senator in
Congress. It was then clearly foreseen,
and ftdly predicted tlmt ho would bn indu
ced to barter southern intert sts for northern
votes. The great northern measure of
imposing prohibitory duties so as to coni-
pe'l us to purchase of northern manufac
turers nt their own-priecs, was distinctly
foreseen und - exclaimed against before
Jackson went from home. The bait, it
was well understood, would surely be
thrown out, and it was not doubted but he
would barter the interests nf' the. south for
his own prmootion. lie felt Secure at home,
let him do ns he would; and for the votes
of Pennsylvania, nnd the prospect of gain

was n mere farce. lie went not there to

ho did so. We hear nothingof an nnnory
in Tennessee;,nothing orany other impor

yielding up the rights of Tennessee, the
interests of their constituents, for the pur
pose of buying presidential votes for Jack-

We find him at Washington, bowing ami
cringing to all his former foes, save only
his greatest rival, Mr Crawford; to him
he preserved a haughty distance, affecting
to feel to much resentment at supposed
injuries, to forgive him. He is sfeen with
hosts of sycophants dancing attendance on
his person, and ilattcring ids vunity. He
is placed at the head of the military com
mittee, where his predecessor presided
with so much.skill and honour to himself
and Ids state; nnd by his friends he is ex
pected at least there to make soipe figure;
but, alas! his speeches, if delivered, have
never reached public. He voted, that
was all; and VciTcthat by far too much,
for he voted away the rights and the inter
ests of his constituents. At the close of the

will remain at Norfolk several days, and
will go thence to Richmond; from Rich

took the route homeward different from his

injurious insinuations against Mr. Craw

As a politican, Gen. Jackson never
could rise above mediocrity; he
not deficient in ordinary capacity for ordi
nary transactions;, but his restless temper
can never yidld to the confinement and
attention necessary to a man of genera'
information. Boisterous in ordinary con
versation, he makes up in oaths what he
lacksjn argument, and is in tho habit of
attempting to browbeat any opponent.
Such have been the habits of the mgn in
private life. He may for a time, and un
der peculiar circumstanced, affect a differ
ent demeanor; but it will be all affectation
The public career of General Andrew
Jackson is too notorious to require rejieti-
tion. For nil tho gortd he Has done you,
for all thdl has been done by the gallant
men who fought and suffered under his
command, he has received all the honor
and profit. Tis true he has essayed to
divide with his near relations and immedi
ate dcpcndants;b\it. to tho great mass of
the army, the gallant officers of various
grades, w ho came not within the range of
his peculiar favour, he has distributed but
a small share of praise.
In order to add to the military fame 0
Jackson, and attach veneration to his
character, it is said hy his triends that lie
partook of the toils of the revolution. I
have never understood that he asserted
this to be a fact t although I do not doubt
that if old enough he would Jhwi taken a
part in the contest, for he is truly a man of
“blood and carnage;” yet I have no evi
dence that be did so, or that the statement
by his friends is any thing else than qp elec
tioneering story. The first conspicuous
acts of Ida life in Tenmv-sec, may he

At such places ho was for many years,
even up to the period of his joining tho
army,'a leading and conspicuous actor.
And it is a qptorious tact, that he was
scarce ever known to leave a race-ground
without having participated in an affray
or riot, or at least a quarrel. Ilis whole

quarrels nf the most violent, ranbmirous,
and deadly nature. To recount the nu
merous rencounters, ufiVnys, and personal
controversies, in wliieh he has been enga
ged, would bo truly a tedious tusk.
“It was durhigthe Creek war that tho ex
ecution of John Wood, a young militiaman,
took pluce, to the justification of which
several pages of Juckson’u, alias Eaton’s
book, is applied. It nmy have been con
formable tb tho strict rules of military dis
cipline, hut it had a sickeniug effect at
the time throughout tlie country. There
were other executions whiqh Occurred un
der his military despotism, which'arc
suppressed in the hook. One of these
scenes to Which I allude, was the execu
tion of six militiamen, under cireuinstan-'
cos calculated to excite tho utmost horror
among n civilized and humane popple.
They composed a pavt ol’the drafted mili
tia wlio went out under . tho impression
that they were to serve only three months.
To satisfy all doubts in this respect,' it is
suid they procured tho opinion of a court-
martial of their officers at home, and the
private opinion ot’ some of the officers,
among whom, report states, there was
one Brigndier-.Gciieral of militia, previous
to their marching for the army, all of
whom concurred in the bpinjun thnt they
were bound for only three months, At
theiexpiration of tips time, they returned
home, were advertised as deserters, and,
on bci ng advisodthnt they had done wrong,
went back five hundred miles, .willingly,
and without being confuted und forced
hack as criminals. Among these men
wiis one preacher of the gospel, - and one
youth Under twenty-one years of age, who
had fought b’raVcly during, two tours pre
viously. At least three of the six had fam
ilies ;twnor three of them .wero charged
wil li some other violation oftlio law, besides
desertion. Tlie soldiers who executed tlie
sentence ofthe law, certainly aimed to miss
the youth who had served the two tours
before; only one struck min near the hip.
They were all considered dead, and the
soldiers who executed them had murohed
oft’. Some young officers happened, in
udulging their curiosity hy looking at the
slain, to discover the young man open an
aye. “ Hero is pne of them winks his eye;
he is not dead yet.”,) 1 For God’s sake dont
shoot mo again,” said the young soldier,
who hadi>een prctcndingtolic dead. The
hour for their execution had passed and
General Flournoy dared to spare his life.
He died, though, in three or four days.
These men were poor and friendless.
Their distressed wives und'thcir helpless
children wore left to sink under their load
of misery—:to mourn over their untimely
unnecessary, cruel and inluimun death
Their General was all powerful; hence
the tongue of reproach was. silepced, and
this scene of blood is sunk into oblivion,
or remembered only to be thought •of, but
not whispered tb the prejudice pf the would-
be President. These men were put to
death about the close of the war, nnd af
ter it is stated, the treaty with England.
“A short time beforo the execution of
these militiamen, seven regular soldiers
were shot near Nashville by a bund of re
gulars scarcely sufficient to guard the pris
oners. TJicy were confined in a house,
and taken out and executed ono nt a time
there being scarcely enough men for the
purpose of executing and guarding at the
same moment. An eighth soldier was to
have been executed at the samq.time. He
was a young man, who deserted one month
before his time expired. General. Jack-
son doomed him to die with the others
He was saved by writ of , hubaas-corpus
from Judge M’Nairy,who fell under Jack-
son’s displeasure for snatching this one
victim from his blood-stained bunds. «If
Jackson’s army had heeii at hand, no
doubt M‘Nairy would have shared the fate
of Judge Hall und . .Judge Froinfeutin.
Capital punishments in an army, are dis-*
igned for example aswell as for penalty
but in this ease it was a transaction, of hor
ror to peaceful citizens: no army wus there
to witness the bloody tragedy. IJc ha?
ever been a man of “ blood and carnage.”
“After this vile slander on, the state of
Kentucky, how can General Jackson p*e
sume to ask for their support?'Hovy can
he turn to the men of Georgia, to,the froe
men of North-Carolina, whom lie lias
branded with tho most Abusive dpitliets
V of old women, Cowards, . and effeminate
creuturcs, unfit, to appear among fheir fel
low men,” and yet ask them with confi
dence for their support ? Yes, even the
brave men of East Tennessee did hot esr
cape his abuse or Id's reprobches. But ft
is not in Ids nature to expect uuy thing
else but submission and humble pliancy
to his will.
“General Jackson dictated thp treaty
with the Creek Indians, from his-own
pairing. Among other articles, was one
making a grant of land to himsclf and
Hawkins, the other commissioner,
“After the Seminole campaign, con
gross attempt to inquire into his aqts; his
raising and, officering troops without au
thority ; his putting men to death illegally;
and his acts of war on a friendjy power.
The general attended, ahd threAteiied, to
cut off the cars of members of bpth Hou
ses. About the same time; he went'to
Mprfreesboroygh, and buillicd the Ten
nessee Legislature, tolling them that if
they did pass such laws,“ that hy God any
twelve good and lawful men would” find
them guilty of purjury.”
