stances may require."

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 ru'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.
