HATTI.—We leans front Captain Towne,
of the brig Clarissa (says the Charleston Times of
the 4th instant), that Colonels Ceinesiere sod
Belzuoce, end Captain Dominique, were tried on
the 4th %larch, found guilty, and sentenced to
deaths Tbey were shot on the Sth, with General
Richard. Courts-Martial held on Colonel Pierre
Pant, and Lieutenant Lintisere, had also con-
victed them ; but, in consequence of some circum-
entices deemed of a palliating charueier in their
taence,, they were *cadenced to hard labour for a
term of years. insisting upon their imincence,
rod in hope of acquittal, they petitioned ftr stew
trials which were grunted them ; hut the new Courti,"
however, less merciful titan the old, sentenced
them to death, and they were shot on the lith
u}tsmn.
Several persons, implicated in the late attempt,
were yet to undergo Innis. It was reported when
Captain Towne sailed, that Government had re-
ceived infuriuntion relative to General 'loin:tine (:1
vorineipal in the conspiracy, who hail fled) which
warranted the expectation of his speedy apprelien-

vet, THE• SLAVE TRADE.
. f.-pet• : •
Another series of pipers relating to the Slave
Trade has been printed by order of the House of
Commotts. It consists of extracts of ail communi-
catiomi received nt the Admiralty from the N avid-
Offiss.rs•stationed on the Cutlet of Africa, air in the
IS'e4t poetics, since the Ist of January 1820, rela-
tom to that detertatle traffic. Many new cases
are stated, shelving the success with winch the
present Treaty is evaded, and the inadequacy of
the existing regulations. The following extinct
from a letter, which is the lust of the series, chewy
the nrcrSity of scone further measures on the sub-
ject :
Copy of *letter from Commodore Sir C. R. Collier, dated
14th Febreary;lo29. sisal addressed to J. W. Cmher, Foci.
Vet-.truclose the duplicate of a letter I have addiesard
you on the subject of the difficulties and delays we meet
with in the Cowrie of the Mixed Comniis.iiio, and I regret to
say, the plan Dow commenced by the duvet., of declariag
tattoo oath that themes) slaves had been rece.ved as hired men
to usTigrite the vessel, and the slave boys as servants, is likely
to er.coscirre the Irsdc, and increase liar difficulty of con-
dentuation, it heing almost inipdasilile to effect the capture by
such comptete surprise as to prevent the escape of a large
eropcse 'km of the slaves; ilpe contempt in which the slave.
masers now old the Trestm is such as to induce them to
boast of their evasions, and confess themselves waiting fur
the Humber of slaves they hare agreed fur; and iu some is.
novices they have carried this so far, as to point out their
lire cargo aspen the beach, waiting only the absence of the
ship of war, to load.
Time Airs of France and America set now generally adapt-
ing, as ;he best cover to illicit slaving, and the amplessaut
situation this place; his Majesty's officers tinder, who are
rbarged with preventing this traffic, must be evident to their
Lordships, and will, I hope, induce them to give one some
specific imitructious upon this head.
The Thistle has arrived here, but without having sue.
'seeded in the object I had in view, of recovering a part of
-the Marie's cargo at Kissing in the Rio Poogas.
I Imre.

gnus who gage testimony in opposition to that of the
farmers. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY amid Mr.
