THE LATE MR. THORXTON.—ALIthPntre ac..
counts, have been at length received of the fate of this respect,
able and lamented individual. Four of the Javanese crew of
the brig General de Kock have effected their escape anagiven
the following statement Two days after the brig veiled
from Batavia we were abreast of Indramayo Point, at abopt
half-past seven in the morning, when, we saw eight pirate
boats, apparently pulling towards us. The brig rued two shots
at them : still the pirates neared us. The brig continued at
intervals to fire. It being a perfect calm, the pirates, at about
eleven o'clock, came close to us. The brig then commenced a,
smart firing, which she was soon obliged to abandon for want
of Ammunition. The officer of the ship jumped overboard, and
the captain did the same ; the latter was previously wounded
4y a kris. Mr. Thornton, being the only European left on
board, was busy fighting one of the quarter-deck guns. While
so employed he was wounded by a wooden spear shot from a
gun belonging to the pirates; the spear entered his left side and
came out at his back. Be fell, and in a few minutes expired.
No sooner did the pirates take possession of the brig, than they
threw the body of Mr. Thornton overboard." Deponents can-
not tell where the General de Kock was carried to, for they -
were put on board one of the pirate prating which, separating_.
from the rest, sailed and reached a place in Borneo, a•little west •
of Baniarmassin, called Tanjong Kolowang, where they acre
sold among the country people at from; to 14 Swish dollars
each. The pirate prahu, after thus disposing of them, quitted
the place. The master of Borman Ally, one of us, bad a three
koyan boat at anchor close to his house. This deponents seized
at midnight and steered for Java. Deponents reached Satlayp
in 7 days, where they reported themselves and delivered up
the boat tu the Resident of Grisei.—( Singapore Chronicle,

[THE PUBLIC LEDGER.]
Whilst the Spanish Government, in all its pro-
ceedings, seems to act under the influence of its
evil genius, we see its former Colonies wholly in
tent on ::consolidating their independence, and
pursuing such measures as are best calculated to
s 4 cure peace at home, and consideration abroad.
From some lamentable cause Chili had been, for,
some. time, an exception to this general rule, and
it was the more mortifying on account of the
resieroos ardour with which she had started in
the career of her regeneration. From a Procla-mationiOf the Supreme Director, a rational hope
may. be entertained that this anomalous state of
t`►in~s will speedily cease, and that she will be,
quoted henceforth as an example,
_in common
with the other new States, of the good effects of
liberty in promoting concord and diffusing happi-
ness. This Proclamation, which is dated the 12th
of July, summons the General Constituent Con-
gress to meet on the sth of September, at Sao-
..iago. One of the objects for which it is con-
-veiled is to procure from, England a recognition
of ,Chilian independence, and another purpose
is to select Deputies, who are to assist at the
South American Assembly to be held at Pa-
nama. it is stated as another reason, that ne-
gociations connected with the national indus-
try, are suspended,. for want of a legal and
-competent authority to bring them to a conclusion.
More than twenty millions of dollars raised in
London, and destined to encourage the resources
of Chili, are involved in these negociations ; and
it is candidly admitted, that if they have not
been brought sooner to a close, it is entirely
owing to the vacillating character of the Govern-
ment, and the disorganized state of the country.
—ln order that the elections may be more pure,
the Director pledges himself not to use the
slightest influence 'in procuring the returns, and
even to withdraw his Deputies, or Provincial Go-
vernors, from the places where the elections are
to be held. After these assurances, the Procla-
mation concludes by saying—" It is for you now
-to pursue with the greatest purity the national in-
terest. You have to decide on the fate of your
country. Look well to the important charge, and
consider the awful responsibility you incur, and
tremble for the inexorable judgment of poste-
rity." With such sentiments, addressed to a na-
tion by its Rulers, it is next to impossible that it
can fail in attaining the ends of its social and po-
litical organization ; and .as the same spirit ani-
mates all the Governments of the new States, it
is a sure presage of the happiness that awaits
them all. 'Yet Spain, in her decrepid state, pre-
tends to fix their destinies, and Is going to make
a new appeal to the rest of Europe to support her
in this extravagant pretension
