Dr. Mitchell called the attention of the I louse for
a few moments, while he explained a circumstance
particularly interssting to the sailors of the United
States. The flth seaion of the aft, regnlsting the
merchant service, dc:. contained a regulation that
vessels of 150 tons, or upwards, whose crews consist
of ten men, should be obliged to carry a medicine
chew. list the most dangerous part of our com-
merce to the health of seamen was that to the West
ladies, and it is well known that the vessels engaged
in that trade are under 150 tons ; of course, the care
of the health of such seamen WAS entirely under the
discretion of the merchant and captains ; and, how.
ever distressing it might be, yet the fa.l was so, that
we lost one-tenth of our sailors—nay, he believed,
one-eighth in that particular tiade.
P. was calculated that one-sixth of our seamen
are in an incipient state of a disease, liable to break
out on the passage, when they enter on board ; of
course, all vessels ought to make a cautionary pro-
vision against the probable consequmces, The
danger of voyages to the West Indus, and other
places, was so great as to preclude the youth of the
middle states generally from engagingin a maritime
life, and the deficiency was generally made up of
foreign seamen ; two-fifths of the crews from those
ports, indeed he believed three-fifths, were composed
of English, Irish, and Scotch ; some of whom were
naturalised, bat others of them contrive to obtain
proteaions without this probationary step, and per-
haps it is owing in some degree to this circumstance
that we are involved every war in these everlasting
disputes with Britain. While he would take effec-
tual care of the health of the seamen at sea, he
would throw it out for consideration, weather the
medicine chest ought to be at the expense of the
merchant er seaman ? It will be rectilleaed that
seamen pay twenty cents a voyage hospital money,
to form a fund for their assistance in sickness on
shore ; he did not understand why they should not
contribwe to their own safety at sea ; the captain
generally performing the part of the physician in
the latter place, as the hospital physicians did in that
first mentioned- He moved the Committee of Corn-
me.,e and Manufaaures to enquire into the pro.
priety of altering the law on this point; which was
I agreed to, and they may report by bill or otherwise.

The. Committee of Ways and Means, to whom
was referred the resolution of Ur. Mitchell, relative
to the exempting from &it., all Ro.iks imported for
the use of Colleges and Universities, have reported
against its adoption. Philosophical Apparatus.
wiiich was also included in the motion, is already ex-
empted by an existing law.
neral Terreau had not been gresented to the
President no Thursday last, the date of our accounts
from Washington ; it was understood this ceremo-
nial would not take place till after an interview with
his predecessor, Mr. Pichon, who was then absent,
but daily expeded at the seat of Government.
The near French Minister, General Terreau, and
Mr. Soderstrorn, the Swedish Commercial Astent,
are the only Diplomatic Characters now at use seat

The Marquis Trujn. the Spanish Minister, has
taken up his residence at the city of Philadelphia:.

'lle brig Arnrei.-a WAS captured from the Spaniard
by an Inffigene pity:steels; the crew were murder.!.!,
and the vessel sent into Port de Pais, where she was
II
condemned. A declaration of war has been made
by the Government of Hayti against the Spaniards.
The account poblished. says Tue Chartevbni Coig-
ne., on the fith inst. respeeting the infamous mur-
der of Mr. Tate, mate of the armed ship Pilgrim, of
Philadelphia, at Cape Francais, was in some respells
incorre4t. 'flu following particulars aro furnished
by a Gentleman who was an eye witness of the whole
transalion s—lt would seem that two unfortunate
Frenchmen, together with some mulattoes, had
been introduced ins board this vessel (probably with
the knowledge of the Officers), and securely stowed
away under deck with the cargo. By some means,
information reached Christophe, that they were con-
cealed on board. Mr. Lyncn, the Supercargo, and
Captain Gibson, being on shore, declared their igno-
rance of any person's being concealed on board.
The Commander in Chief immediately dispatched a
guard of s tillers on board the ship, who, tore up
the deck over the heads of the unfortunate fugitives.
and, together with Mr. Tate (he being the Com-
manding Officer then on board), forced them oo
shore. On their landing upon the wharf, the un-
fortunate American saw but ton plainly the fate
which awaited him, and, aldressirg himself to his
amazed countrymen, he esellimed, 44 Americans!
will you see me thus dragged to execution like a
dog, and nn one step forward to assert my inno-
cence?" 4, Yes," said one (a Mr. Smith, Super-
cargo ofd vessel from Baltimore) " I will speak
for you !" Instantly a sentinel was °nisi cd to run
him through with his bayonet t but he escaped by
springing into his boat and instantly pushing off.
The prisoners were then led up to the public scales !
Mr. Tate and the two Freachmen had halters placed
about their necks, mounted this temporary scaffAd,
and were precipitat-ly launched into eternity ! The
arms of the Frenchmen were pinioned, but those of
Mr. 'rate were left untied, and in his struggles he
repeatedly caught hold of the cord by which he was
suspended, and entirely removed it from his throat,
the cord passing round his chili and the bark of his
neck ;in this mantles he expired! As he mounted
the ladder, he said Americans! Americans! I
die this ignominious death, for duly executing my
orders!" The feelings of the Ansel ;cans on this
occasion may be more readily felt than dew: ibed.

Miss Saran Wood and Miss Ccriha Rawlins, two
young ladies, were intlieted for an assault upon
Mrs. Brett.

In this case, the Prosecntrix was the owner of
horse of a certain description, in Leicester-street,
Leicester-fields, of which she WAS Mother Abbess,
and the D. Pendants were two Nuns helongiag to
her convent. On the evening 01 the 21th of An-
t:tot last, a dispute arose between the par:ies rd.,-
give to some money matters in the way of fees,
words grew high, ill language was bandied about ;
when one of the fair virgins, forgetting the vene-
rable charatter of her hostess, spit in her face ; they
both fell upon her and violently assaulted her.
The Jury tound both the Defendants Guilty, and
the Court sentenced them to pay a fine of Is. each,
and be then discharged.
Alexander Sweeny, and three other., were indi&ed
for assaulting Thomas Warren, and others. The-
Defendant, Sweeny, only appear Ad.
It appeared that the Prosecutor, Warren, was a
wig-maker, residing in Crown-court, Pall 4%4.411 ; and
on a Sunday evening was taking some refreshment
along with a friend at the Bed Lion public-house,
in that neighbourhood, when the Defendant. sv
company with another man, came into the room ;
the conversation turned upon religious subjeCts, and,
after a little time, the Defendant said something, in
a language unknown to the Prosecutors, to his com-
panion, and left the room ; he soon after returned,
accompanied by the other Defendants, one of whom
was his brother, and the other two persons of the.
name of Prendergast, who all rushed in and assault-
ed the Prosecutors in a violent manner, knocked
them down, and cut one of them with some sharp
instrument under the eye ; this man's name was
Crowe, and he had been head waiter At the Albany
Hotel ; but, in consequence of a black eye from the
blow, he had lost his place. After this, the Defend-
ant Sweeny, followed Warren to his own house, and
again assaulted him violently.
The Jury found him Guilty; and the Court sen-
tenced him to three months imprisonment, and to
find security, at the expiration of that period, for his
good behaviour for twelve months.

LONDON SESSIONS.

GUILDR•LT..

Yesterday, the LORD MAYOR, ALnsusUN, and
Cosmos COUNCIL, took the usual oaths in the
Council Chamber. The LORD MAYOR, ALDRR•
INCN, and the RECORDER, then proceeded to the
Court of Kiag's Beech, where, after swearing in
the Constables and Beadles for the d'fil-reot parishes,
they swore in the Grand Jury for the Session, and
went on with the other business. _

James Caster was indicted for an assault on WA-
ham Thillery, an Excise Officer- he pleaded Guilty,
and delivered in a petition. begging the mercy of
the Court.

It appeared that he lived in Houndsditch ; and
that Phillery, with two other Officers, went to his
house to look for some smuggled coffer, of which
they had information ; Phillery went up stairs to the
room, v.-here t!.e Defendant wa, sitting at the tire, in
company with a soldier ; he there found a basket
with some coffee in it, and, on his laying hold of it,
the Defendant got up, and, seizing the other side of
the basks., swore ho should not take it ; bat the
other Officers coming up, he was obliged to give
over. They then proceeded to search the lower
part of the house, and found in the kitchen a large
hag of coffee, which they seized ; the Defendant
thew a knife out of his pocket, and cut the hag in
two or three places, with intent to let the coffee out ;
he then laid hold of the poker, and aimed a blow at
the head of the Prosecutor, which he fortunately
warded off with his arm.
The RECORDER, in passing the sentence of the
Court, said, it was fortunate for him that the blow
had not taken place—for that, if he bad killed the
man, his being drunk, or In a passion, would not
have been any excuse—but that, as he had pleaded
guile✓, he would pass on him as slight a punishment
as the law allowed for such an offence, and that
was one year's confinement in Newgate.
The Court was then adjourned until to-morrow,
at the Old Bailey.

Monday, arrived in the Tiede,- gun-brig, in the
Downs, a French Officer, who was taken out of a
fishing vessel, which came out of Boulogne har-
bour, bearing a flag of truce. He had a dispatch
tram TaLLEVRAtin to Lord H•eriowa v, which
w.ts sent express from Paris to Boulogne, with or.
Jcrs that it should be forwarded without a moment's
delay to some of the British cruisers, and that the
Officer, who, we understand, is an Ensign de V As-
ti...al, should accompany it. The Officer via; put
on hoard the flag ship in the Downs, and Ow di,-
patch sent express to Lord HA anon, av 's Office on
Monday night. Various conjedures are afloat as to
the import of these dispatches.

When the letters of the Bth of December came
away from Malaga, they were in hourly expetßation
of orders arriving for the opening of that port. The
place had been for some time previous declared in

a few days previous ter the 9th ult. the deaths were

The English cruisers were making sad havoth
among the Spanish trading vessels on every part of
the coast from Cadiz to Seville, scarcely a ship
escaping their vigilance. The insurance of Spitiron
vessels of this description was enormously high,
costing the merchants at least thirty per cent.
