ANOTHER DREADIPIM MASSACRE DY TES NATIVES OF THE MAL:gUSEAS MANES. [From the Sydney Gasette, November s, MS) By the Governor Macquarie are arrived Captain FOWLICR, and part of the crew of the India bri Matilda, which sailed from this colony in August, 1813, bound on a voyage to tee Derwent and Eastern Islands, and from thence to China, bu t was cut plf and plundered on the night of the 10h of April last, while lying at anchor in Duff's Boy, at the Island of Rooaposib, one of the Marquesas, on a sandal wood voyage. Five of the crew (Poonrootcso men) hod previously deserted, and joining with some of the Row/malt natives, _ took the opportunity of a 'dark night, and the wind blowing fresh right on the land, to cut the vessel adrift; by which means she drove ashore through a bear/ surf, and was soon bilged and filled with water. When the cannibal natives saw that it was impracticable to get the vessel afloat, they concerted universally in the design of putting the whole of her crew tosleath ; which apsears to have been a constant practice among the different natives towards one another, when their canoes liap pen to fall upon a strange shore, through stress of weather or from any other accident. Captain FowLea had formed an intimacy with their Chief, or King, Nonahetu, who presided at the horrible tribunal that had devoted the unfortunate mariners to instant slaughter. He withheld his assea to the murder; but had no hesitation in permitting the plunder of the vessel. The crew were informed by such expressions as they could underit end, as well as by gesticulations that accompanied their vehement debate oat the occasion, that their lives were depen• dent on the issue ; the good Chief was opposed by many other Chiefs, who though somewhat inferior in rank, were very far superior in number, supported by the common usages of the island, tram which the exhibition of clemency appeared au insufferable de viation. Ere was seated, with his son by his side. on a mat in his own dwelling; be bad been caned to the supremacy of the island by the general wish of the people, as it was not an hereditary right, but an elec tive dignity. Hie people pressed their solicitations earnestly, and at length peremptorily demanded hit assent to the sacrifice; which he for a length of time opposed by the force of words; which not seeming likely to prevail, he adopted' a method which silenced the whole Wan instant, and saved the lives of Cap tain Forvt.sa and his crew. Finding that all his ex• postulations were defeated upon the principle of un deviating custom, he deliberately took op two rope% that wax near him, and fixing one round die neck of his son, and. the other round his own, called to .. sire t b! first pasted to the cord %bet encircled the neek,of his son, and then' to the other. which be bad. entwined 'round his own. These strangers are doomed to death," said he, if by my chiefs and my people, and it h not at that I; who am their King, should by. to peeves wile a deed perpetrated. Let my child and myself be strangled before it is performed ; and then it never will be said that we sanctioned, even with nor eye-eight, the destruction of these un offending people." The magnanimity of such a conduct could not do less than produce, even in the mind of the unen lslitened - savage, a paroxysm of surprise, mingled with a sentiment of admiration in which the untaught man may possibly excel his fellow creature—whose conceptions are moulded by tenets calculated to guard him from the extremes of passion. For a mo ment the people looked wildly upon their King, whose person they adored, because that his prince• pies were good, and his goveroment just and mild. They saw the obedient Chief, to whom the order of strangulation had been imparted, staring with hot. for and amazement at the change which a few mo. ments had produced ; the mandate which had pro- . ceeded from the King's own lips must be obeyed ; and, commanded to perform the dreadful office, lie proceeded to obey—when a sudden shout from the multitude • awed him to forbearance. " The King ! lie King!" from every lip . burst forth— " Meat kill the King ! No, no, let all the strangers live—no man shall kill the King 1" Thus were their lives preserved—and the vessel plundered if every thing on board her. The floor of. the Greenwich which was burnt at Nooxheva, still remains, and lefty at low water. WU her iron and copper have been taken out by the usi lives, wbo . have a thorough luiowledge of the use of these materials. That they are cannibals issirell as-. certained. They form distinct factions, and make war open the ruling Chief the rebels are 'denomi nated the Typees ; and the opposite parties are hor. rioly sanguioary towards each.
