neither do we care, for we have never

F.r now we promise ourselves a hap

a writer whose soul is niora congenial

New-York, May 10.
A letter was received yesterday,
from an American officer fit Ha
vana, dated 22d ult. communica
ting the following interesting intel
ligence.
“ The famous Pirate schooner
Saragozana, is captured bv the Bri
tish—One hundred and twenty men
were taken and thirty killed. Fif
teen of the British were, unfortu
nately killed. The pirates have
been sent to Jamaica to be hung.—
Their vessel mounted one long 18
pounder and 4- long nines or twelves
with a crew of 150 men.’’
“ Commodore Porter left Matan
zas on ihe 19th, in the Sea-Gull, in
pursuit of this vessel, hut he was
too late.”
Philadelphia . Jlap 20.—Caps. Mcl
drum, arrived last evening from St.

Cape Maize, by an officer from the
British sloop of war Thracian, bound
to Jamaica with a large piratical schoo
ner in company. 7he officer report-*
t-d her to have 80 men on board and
that the boats of the sloop of war cap
tured her after a very hard light of
two hours.
MEXICO.
The New-Orleans papers us the 21st
Apl. contain many particulars of the
concluding scenes of the farce of royal
ty, in which Yturbidc acted the first
part —it can hardly he said ‘with un
bounded applause.’ Hie Vera Cruz
Diary states, that his imperial Majesty
attempted to escape for Tucubaya,
when thousands of beggars cut the
lianess of his coach and obliged him
and his family to return to the house.
About seven hundred troops remained
faithful to the Emperor in his fallen
fortunes the officers of which solicited
leave to meet the republicans, but the
Emperor wept —his imperial Majesty
bluhberd !—-and ‘ women's tears cour
sed down his cheeks* —declining a con
test, he threw himself on the mercy of
his conquerors; wisely preferring as a
dernier resort, rather to live and fight
another day, than * to set his life upon
a died and make ids exit from this sub
lunarv sphere, even with the eclat ol a
battle, and six inches of cold steel.
By a passenger i.i the steam, ship
we learn that about 700 troops remain
ed faithful to the late F.mperor Itur
bide, and that the officers of these
troops strongly advised him io give
battle to the troops of the republican
party, but that Iturbide refused, and
threw himself on the mercy and gene
rosily of trie Congress. He was ta
ken into custody and remained at his
country seat near Mexico, under
charge of General Bravo. By the Ve
ra Cruz papers, we observe that he
abdicated on the 19th March. We
further learn that he is generally des
pised for his pusillanimous conduct,
and that the Mexicans have given him
the appellation of colonel Llantns.

From the National Intelligencer.
.Messrs. Editors —I send you the
following authentic information just
received from Mexico:
“ Be it known, that the Emperor
Yturbide having abdicated, it is the
intention of the people of Mexico to
dispose of the Imperial Crown made
for his coronation, having no longer
any use for the same. This is there
fore to give notice, that at the next
Congress of Sovereigns to be held at
Verona or elsewhere, the Imperial
Crown ot Mexico will be sold at pub
lick auction. It is quite new, cost
S 1,000,000, and is warranted to have
been worn only one year. All Kings
or Emperors wanting an e.vlra crown
will find this a valuable opportunity.
Terms of sale cash, < v notes endorsed
by governmen or Bank of England.
7Tie principal reason for disposing of
this Crown is, that it has been found too
heavy and oppresive an article of dress
for this side of the Atlantic, and more
over hit? never been much in fashion.
“ N. 15. The people of Mexico ex
pect shortly to have on hand an assort
ment of Mitres. This is worthy the
attention of the Pope and Arch Bishop
of Canterbury.”

The government of Brazil has issued

The Boston newspapers announce
ihe arrival in that city of four Commis
sioners to out Government from Guati
mnlaon the Spanish Main, the object
of whose mission is to propose ihe un
ion of their country with our republic.
We regret that ibis distant people,
who have formed so favorable an opin
ion of our political institutions, and
who, for all we know, mav be worthy
of enjoving the blessings of lice gov
ernment, should not have been better
informed as to our national policy.
Any political relation with them other
than such as our Government may
form with a sovreign independent na
tion, is altogether impracticable.
Whetl ler itbe the Captain-General
ship of Guatimala, or one of the pro
vinces of that political division, ol
the same name, that solicits incorpora
tion into our Union, we are not infor
med. According to Morse, this Cap
tain-Generalship extends from New
Spain on North West nearly to the
isthmus of Darien, and is hounded on
the. F.ast by tbe Caribbean Sea, and
on the West by the Pacific Ocean. —
“ It consists of six provinces, Cliiapa,
Vera Paz, Guatimala,Honduras, Nica
ragua, and Costa Rica.—The great
American range of mountains runs
through the country from S. E. to N.
W. Vol canoes are extremely nume
rous and some of them terrific ; no less
than 20are inconstant activity.
‘The general appearance of the soil
is extremely fertile, and Guatimala
produces abundantly corn, cochineal,
grapes, honey, wax, cotton, fine wool
and dye-woods. The population has
been estimated at 1,800,000.
Santiago de Guatimala,capital of the
Captain-Generalship of Guatimala,was
founded in 1524 on the declivity of a
mountain, at whose summit was a vol
cano—but in 1751, it was overwlielm
ebbv an earthquake, and by the mat
ter from the volcano. Notwithstading
this awful calamiv.the city was rebuilt
on the same spot; but another and more
tremendous convulsion again destroy
ed tbe devoted place in 1775, the
greater part of the inhabitants being at
tbe same time buried in tbe ruins,
‘/’he city now stands 25 miles S. of the
old town. It is a magnificent place,
adorned with churches and monaste
ries,and an uni verity reckoned one of
the best in the empire. Population
19,000.”

Kcw Impirtalhn! —A letter from
England, dated Feb. 7, says—” I
was clown in the London docks,
and there were twenty-six paupers
going out in the ship Hudson to
New-York, sent by the parish of
Kurbast, near Battle, in Sussex, in
carrier’s waggons, who paid their
passage and gave them money to
start with when arrived in the Uni
ted States ; and other parishes must
do the same or they will be eat up
by them. Many parishes are in
that state that the land is worth
nothing to the landlord, and I see
no remedy except sending the ex
tra population somewhere.”

E ARLY CUSTOMS.
A gentleman, travelling about the
year 1756, upon the frontiers of
Virginia, when there were but few
settlements, was obliged to take up
his quarters one evening at a mise
rable plantation, where, exclusive
of a negro or two, the family con
sisted of a man and his wife, and
one daughter about sixteen years
of age. Being fatigued, he pre
sently desired them to shew’ him
where he was to sleep ; according
ly, they pointed to a bed in the cor
ner of the room where they were
sitting. The gentleman was em
barrassed, but being exceedingly
weary he half undressed himself
and got into bed. ‘The old lady
soon came to bed to him, after her
the old gentleman, and last of all
the young lady. ‘This, in a country
excluded from all civilized society
could only proceed from simplicity
and innocence; indeed, it is a gen
eral and true observation, that
forms and observances become ne
cessary, and are attended to, in pro
portion as manners become corrupt,
and it is found expedient to guard
against vice, and that design and
duplicitv of character which, from
the nature of things will always
prevail in large and cultivated soci
eties.
