A CRR OF CAPTAIN OM !Mt— AMDVO/11ti filo .Clars•WaytT • '• ''• • SIiDSRY,.-AP146149.. • • • • . The present commander of the *Rambler is Mr. Hot day, the former arid JOstice. 'Captain Powell, with four of his crew, were massacred on the island (if Va. vaoo (one of the Friendly Islands) on the 3d instant. The circumstance that gave , lise.to .this tragic occur.! realer is as follows :—Crptain Powell had heel, cruisine for four or five days off the Island, of Vali 400, .this!: time was occupied in procuring seater fir the vessel'. use. On the 2J of April, the day pretesting the mas sacre, tour black men andan!app.eiltimnartredSainael, Blackmore, ran away isito.thst ~The day foldw• ing application waa tnade to t ti; l sJu g 9r Chief,, s for the , iertorati.,n of the Filiaing . thafentriaty was un- Captain 'Powell OffeiedtWe'lti.irg a most (1,100 ind e brr4cl of . gutiponideNif_ he would sends ff the runaway apprentice. The:bny. reterned an answer -by.lFtter.to the. Captain, refit iag to join the ship any more, and aroiriag Captain. Powell to aveigh anchor and he off. At II alms the ship*was nailer weigh, and stood•np the bay. At noon Captain Powell tired three starboard gon; ott , thore, it the same time ordering Mr. Holliday to stand riff with the ship. A boat was then lowered down the larboard quarter, and was manned and armed with six haul,, besides Captain Powell.. The boat went on shore, .and retut tied with a &ruble canoe, which w is made fast a-stern of the chip. • The vessel then tack,..l back again, made a slant board; and once! more tacked ; when abreast of the beach two more grips were tired. Captain Powell then made prepara tions for returning to the shore, giving directions as to necessity of keeping the ship from going too near ; and told Mr. Ilolliday• not to fire, unless he perceived that the natives were too thickly surrounding and pur suing them. Captain Powell, for the hzst time, reached the shore, and was seen walking up the be ich, when about sixty or seventy armed natives milted upon him and four of the poar men, dispatching them in the twinkling of an eye. The other two seamen being near the boat, fled into the sea for refuge ; and, although ene was wounded with a spear, they succeeded in re gaining the vesssel, under cover of one of the larboard guns. The names of the men that perished were—Peter Ashburn, John Jones, William Halback, and James Loft. The vessel having experienced a less of ten hands, with the five runaways, exclusive of Captain Powell, Mr. Holiday thought it most prudent to make the best of his way to Port Jackson. , The last words that the unfortunate taptain Powell was heard to articulate, were--4 Oh,: my .GoD, my GOD! lam killed !" Thcabove,account is taken from the ship's log, and may so far be depended on. hut, it may be inquired, how many of the poor islanders were cut off by the firiug .. of Captain Powell, before he went on shore? and what had' they done ? The log gives no account of any previous baibarity on the part of the natives. Their canoe was taken away—well loaded guns were dis charged among them—and there can hardly be a ques tion but many, many of these poor heathens thickly fell, from the quantity of shot that visited their shores. After all this, who can account for the unwarrantable', temerity of Captain Powell, in landing himself and men among such an infuriated host? Captain Powell, we should think, became sacrificed through his own rashness, and fouipoor fellows were hurried, with then hapless commander, into an awful eternity ! MAY 6.—We have been informed that it has been re potted by some of those belonging to the Rambler whaler, that our last week's report of the slaughter of the poor natives of the Friendly Islands, and the mas sacre of the hapless Captain Powell and part of his crew, was incorrect. We can only say, that the new Commander referred us to Mr. Solicitor Norton for the extract from the ship's log, which was obtained. If, therefore, there be airy wrong statement, the sooner the log is corrected the more satisfactory it will prove to the cause of truth. We have not yet ascertained the mason why our countrymen became the aggressors in this as in many other unhappy instances. The blood of these natives is as precious in the sight of Goo as ours; and what Commander, or other man, can expect to prosi.er through life who wantonly satiates himself in human blood? VAN I)IEME:\'S LAND. Hobart Town Gazettes, horn the 9th of April to the llth of Jane, have been received at the Nem England Coffee-house. The new Court of Justice for this co lony, which has recently been appointed by the Royal Charter, opened at Hobart Town on the 10th of May, and commenced its regular judicial sittings on the 20th, and had since been constantly engaged in trials for criminal offences, of which the calendar presented a very long list, and many of them of an atrocious de- 1 scription. A public meeting of the resrectable inhabi tants of Hobart Town took place on the 20th of April, fur the purpose of teturnins thanks to the Government at home for the valuable privileges conferred on the co -1 long by the new Royal Charter, and to prepase a peti tion fur the further important benefit of the indepen dence of the etiony, as regards its union with New South Wales. Subscriptions were entertd into at this meeting, and a committee appointed to promote the objects for which it had been convened.. Colonel Arthur, who had been appointed successor to Lieutenant-Governor Sorell, in the government of Van Dlemen's Land, an ived at Hobart Town en tlii 11th of May, and in a few days after took possession of that office. Addresses have been presented to Lien... tenant-Governor Sorell from all classes. of ,the inhabi tants, expressive of their regret at his relinquishing the administration of the colony. The Trench discovery ship La Coquille, M. Duperey„" Commander, which had been lying . some time slit Port Jackson, had proceeded in prosecution of het voyage. Her next destination was the Society Islands. The Aus tralasian Company's ship Triton had sailed for Madras, haviag on board a detachment of the 48th Regiment. The Adrian, Gordon, arriveci at Hobart Town, had the misfortune of having a boat upset off St. Paul's hland,• when fc)tir persons were drowned, viz.—Mr. Jarres Ripley, Mr. Wotsley (Sect etary to Colonel Arthur), the new Deputy Governor (Mr. March, or Marsh, late of Leeds), and the fourth, one of the bs. , at's crew. F. 1 7 nleirromne, D. Berlelean, J.. 1. Damarete, A.tor . ,-, bier, J. itnotiste Catinate, L..Cahurel, L. !tenant; C. ivernois (Frenchman) A. Hernandez (a Spaniard of colour), and 11 f. (a Negro of the latter nation), being the pirates convicted of the murder of Captain Underwood, Were, in pursuance of his Grace the Jo. vernot's.warrant, executed yesterday morning. _ At four in the morning, they were girarded.ta the Wherry ,Wharf, by the Sheriff's officers, and a detach mezt of the StAl Regiment. They were then embarked on board a wherry, whicit was towed td Gallows Point, by the boats of the Men of war lying at . Point Royal. Dori 1 their passage, several of the prisoners prayed 'moss devoutly, and continued with redoubled energy their appeal to the mercy of their CREATOR, when they beheld the.final scene which was to close the bloody tragedy they had so long acted. J. J. Darnarette, a good-looking youth, not yet 47, wept . bitterly. He said that his assodiates had per suaded him to join his fortune wilt theirs, and that he did not know what their intentions were till they had committed the crimes for which he was about to suffer. with them. Just before this wretched youth ascended the scaffold he requested a draught of water, saying it was the last thing he should require in this world. , A few moments before the drop fell his countenance de. picted the greatest agony ; and heesclaiined, " France —my poor mother !" the rest was inaudible, and the drop fell. _ F. Valebrouge, the Captain of this lawless crew, prayed, but not audibly. He was .a man advanced in years, and his countenance strongly pourtrayed the wretch familiar with. and reckless of guilt. He suf.. feted with hardened indifference. A. Hernandez, the coloured Spaniard, whose ruthlesi hand had bereft the unfortunate Underwood of his life, stood on the plat form careless of the past, deriding the present, and heedless of the future. He looked the fiend, and never did we before view a countenance so hellish—not that his features were ill-formed, but because the general expression was particularly diabolical. His last words were to the executioner, whom he cursed as he drew 'the cap over his eyes, saying to him—" Go to hell."— M. Norriego (the black), with a stupid, or rather vacant look, surveyed the scene of his latter moments. This man had, in the murder by his hands of Mr. Stephenson, emulated the bloody assassin Hernandez. He addressed the eveed, and by hii absurdity excited the risibility of ' many; he said, in broken'Spanish, " That he amass:ed his misfortunes to the Colombians, and hoped to see the good King of Spain again master of Costa Firma." Hernandez and Norriego, when suspended, struggled violently. They evidently parted with existence in great agony ; their convulsions continued long after those of their frllow-culprits had ceased. . AUGUST 26.—The following is an account of the exe cution of the pirates who murdered Lieutenant Layton, Midshipman Strode, and four sal:ors, on the Isle of Pines, and of those who murdered Captain ‘Vhittaker, of the sloop Endeavour, and plundered the Martha Jane and Raton: • B. Cassel, J. M. de los Santos, and E. Martinez, con victed of the murder of one of Lieutenant Layton's party, the two former as principals, and the other as an accessary before the fact ; B. Frayel, B. Arcia, F. C. Mmalles, and F. Tamarex, convicted of rations acts of piracy on board the Martha Jane, the Endeavour, and the Raton, were yesterday morning guarded au the place of execution in the same manner as those executed the previous day. The prisoners, after praying with much apparent devotion, ascended the scaffold. Cassel was the first who acended ; he addressed the spectators, saying—" Hear now what I say, for I am telling the truth before GOD; it would be useless to fabricktea falsehood when I am just about to appear befose GOD and the Saints. The sentence by which that poise man (Martinez) is about to be hung is most uojum.; for he had no concern with us who were the pirates he murdered nci - one, and he robbed no one. I am guilty, and so are the others; but . not Martinez, who is unjustly judged. I murdered the Officer, for I killed bins after we took him and had tied him to a tree, and I ate suffering justly; but poor Martinez is under going this death for the crimes of us. Now and ever I will declare his innocence ;" and again he is vocated the name of the ALMIGHTY in attesting the truth of this statement of the innocence of Nat tines, hoping that some good person would let his friends in Cuba know that he was not guilty. J. M. de los Santos also con fessed his guilt.; but strenuously asserted the innocence of Martinez. Martinez was a decent looking man; and of rather prepossessing appearance; he several times declared that he was innocent; and when the cap was drawn over his eyes he begged it-should be withdrawn, and as if fearing that death would prevent the ex ' pression of his feelings, with rapid utterance and shivering, he exclaimed—" An innocent man dies for what he never did ; my last words, Oh, GOO r The drop then fell. Moialles also said he was innocent. Another said he was a thief and a murder er, but no pirate. ,—The.other culprits confessed their guilt, and acknow ledged the justice of their sentence. Martinez died instantaneously, but several of the others Here much convulsed. One of them, a very old man, seemed to be long in pain, for his bands were clenched till the nails tattered the flesh. Just before the drop fell, the general trembling of all the prisoners, and their shull ejaculations to their Patron Saints, manifesteJ the hor ror_ ss ith which they anticipated the death to n hich they. were doomed. Previously to their execution, one o f thete criminals stated there wet e several hundred pirates on the coast of Cuba, and this would always be the case while the merchants and storekeepers of tinstisland purchased from the pirates their plunder.; and varier* Authorities pet mitred, and secretly encouraged them in their nefarious acts. This was stated lit' the•piesedee of a Spanish Priest.
