Extra ft of a letter from “Cadiz > dated June 22. “ By the encloied papers, [omitted] you will perceive the insulting style in which the Spa niards mention in their public prints, an occurrence which took place a few days since of the at tack and capture of one of the United States gun-boats, No. 3, by three Spanilh privateers; the result of this business we are yet ignorant of, though it is said the boat has been given up—the capture appears to have been intended more as an infulc than any thing die.” —— * -.gr. £ NASHVILLE, (Ten.)

This attrocious youth, in whom every principle of humanity seems to be extmft, had leaded his rifle with three large buck shot; saw his father coming from his dwelling house, and waited in his concealment, ii 1 he had got fourteen paces pad the gin-house then deliberately took aim, through a crevice between the logs of tne house, horrible to reiaie ! at ms father!—The shot penetrated his back, and came out through his bread. “ A jury of inquest wts sum moned early on the day follow ing.

Augujta Herald. Foreigners.—~Y he feds are con tinually bellowing agai ok ere interfering in our political concerns. In this as in all-their ‘ clamours they betrayed the grof fell inconMency and absurdity. This country but a short period back, was difeovered and peo pled by foreigners — of our revo lutionary army a large portion were foreigners and what is now in federal eyes an unpardonable fin, they wer clrifomen ——War- ren, Montgomery, Lee, La Fay ette, wtih many others of our firft heroes, nay even fainted Hamilton himfclf were foreign ers.

The truth is, foreigners, like all other men, ought'to be held in estimation according; to their conduit. A foreigner who em barks himfelf, his family, his fortune, his all with ours, and who behaves himfelf well, after the legal probation, is as much entitled to a voice in our con cerns, because he is as much interested, as a native citizen.—• On the other hand, native citi zens, as well as foreigners, who abuse the bit flings with which Providence has pre-eminently favored this country, ought to be diveiled of ail public confi dence and private cftcem.
