Hai../FAX, SLer. 16. Thelon», has arrived from New-York, under very unpleasant circumstances; while lying there, when the Captain went on shore (it was obliged to be done in di.g.ii-e and by night) ; having occasion to send a Lieutenant on shore, the r u 'ment the boat !Andes!, the Anierican rabble_ invited the crew to de , eit, by saying, "Jo you want your liberty•? now is your time : you are in the land of liberty !" in conseven:e of which the crew immediately left the boat. The Officer attempted to intimidate them by drawing a pistol upon them, but was im mediately surrounded by the noWa. and. had it nit been for the interferen:e of a Captain in the Ame rican navy, would have been tarred and feathered: however he escaped unhurt. After this, a still more unpleasant affair occurred—a mutiny beck* out among the crew of the yam. They put on the gratings. plating shot bi:ses upon them to prevent the officers from coming up, and rushed alt to lower the boats down, for the purpose nil deserting. For • to:lately, the officers foiced th.ir way to the deck in spite of the precautions taken to prevent them, and upon the First Lieutenant making some tin u:ls at tise:n with a boardievpike, and the other r Ceti getting possession of the small arms, they were obliged to retreat below, and surrendered. Forty five of them were put in icons, and they are now here for trial. The Court Mati , al con - ,:nenc:s to morrow, at nine o'clock, and will hold, in all pro• bability, for several days ; one of them has turned King's evidence. Sum. of them, it is said, were (or putting the officers to death, but that was over ruled by the generality. The whole transaaion will come out in the course of trial. There is no kind of doubt but the mutiny was occasioned by some inflammatory papers spread among crew by the AmetiCRAS. The Colombia sloop of war was lying there. The Captain of her sent a midshipman on board a Revenue vessel, with a litter ; upon the Midshipman's quitting the boat, the crew immediately shoved of ..nd MAWe for the shore —Such is the encouragement given to ow de serters, by the friendly and hospitable Americans; nothifig but a severe cbastisemtnt will check their daring on!rages, and I think a very few months war will convince Jonathar% he has The wrong sow b,v the log." The Cleopatra sent in schooner. arrived this day, from Vera Cum, with 150,00 dollars on board, belonging to the King of Spain. ttPT. 19. This is the second day of the Court sitting, but as yet it does not appear that the people of the Jesse meant to off-r any violence to the officers, farther than securing them till they had lowered down and escalsed on shore. Ido not think above two or.three of them will suffer c'eath. As the mail goes this evening, I must close this without being able to give yoU the result of the trial. THE BRITISH PRESS.
