EXTRACT OT A LETTER DATED LUCCA, 0er..10.
The Captain of the boat the Endeavour was taken early this
morning by the Saucy Jack, and roiffied of cables, rigging,
sails, and provisions, with dry goods. They threw the shingles
-overboard, and set fire to the boat ; afterwards put,the Cap-
tain and three Spaniards on board, who succeeded in extin-
guishing the fire; he came in with a blanket for a sail. The

The Saucy Jack proceeded toleeward, and off the Hope
wharf captured the following vessels, belonging to Montego-
hay :—the schooner Kingston Packet, the schooner Mary, a

" J. P. CHAZAL, Commander of the Saucy Jack."

KING OF HAYTI.

This sable Sovereign seems resolved To be behind
hand with no Monarch, Oriental or European, in
the external magnifiCence of exalted rank. The
ee-remonies of his Court,—his Princes and Prin-
cesses,--the gradations of his Nobility in Drakes,
'and Counts, and Barons, have already been before
the public. A crown, a sceptre, robes, and other
attributes of the reitlia, have already beets sent
out to his Majesty from this country. Articles
fOr the completion of his public equipage, manu-
factured by eminent saddlers in the city, are now
ready to be shipped for Hayti. In their quality, de-
sign, and execution, they are perhaps unequalled in
their kind in the display of any Potentate of Eu-
rope, on the proudest occasions. They consist of
a state saddle and state harness for eight horses.
The saddle is of a very large size, the seat part
much carved; with pistol- holSters, and a large
saddle-cloth. The whole is made of crimson Ge-
noa velvet ; the seat worked in devices, with yel-
low silk, and studded with gold. The holster co-
vers and"saddie-cloth are most splendidly embroi-
dered with broad variegated and vandyked gold
borderings, and trimmed with rich fringes of gold
bullion, headed with roses, and decorated with
tassels of the same description at the corners. On
each side Of the cloth is represented in gold eni.-
broidery his Majesty's coat of arms, with stars and
sprigs of oak. The heraldic bearings are .a
shield ; on the field gales, a phoenix issuing
froal flames, with a motto on a curved rib,
band underneath, " Je renais de. mes cen-
dres." The field is dotted with nine mullets.
The supporters are two lions rampant and crowned.
The motto underneath is " Dieu, ma cause, et
arson ipee." The shield is surmounted by a crown,
not exactly like the regal crowns of England or
France, nor opening like the Imperial crown,
hut of large dimensions, and spreading more than
the European crowns,. It is surrounded by the
collar of the new Order of Hayti, with the cross
pendant. The double holster covers have si-
milar decorations. The stirrups are of silver,
curiously chased and gilt. The bridle and stirrup
holders are of black japanned leather, em-
bossed with silver, gilt phoenixes, and military tro-
phies. The state harness for eight horses is inag-7
nificent without heaviness. It is of japanned black
leather, and is enriched with a splendid profusion
of ornaments, all of solid silver, but not gilt;
Wnkers, bosses, face-pieces, neck-bands, territs,
traces, &e. are all adorned . with cro wias„ or
phoenixes, or fulls coats of arms, &c.: the reins
are of crimson silk, adorned with gold bullion
tassels. On the whole, we, believe, that nothing
so costly has yet been executed, and the general
effect of it, glittering' under a tropical sun, must
form a most beautiful and superb feature in the
pageantry of King Henry.

.
Mr. KING, of Massachusetts, in a long speech iri
the American House-of Representatives against
the increase of the taxes, gives a very severe but
just critique upon the measures of-Mr. MADISON,
wheel he compares to the Jackal! obeying the
commands of the Imperial BeaSt of France, and
hoping to have a portion of the spoil throWn to
him as the reward_ of his abject baseness. Mr.
KING hints that-New England will keep her re-
sources for her Own occasions, and contrasting
the situation of that State now with her situation
when she was under the British Government,
asks " What was a Boston Port Bill, compared
with.a General Embaygo ? What a duty on a few
unimportant articles, compared with the taxes
and oppressions which this Administration have
brought upon this people ?.As much as I abhor the
tVranny and oppression of a GRAFTON, a NORTH,
QC a BUTE, and their hireling associates in dif-
ferent Ministries in England, against this coun-
try, I would not do them the injustice t 6 compare
them with a set of men and measures which would
disgrace 'them. If a king of England, by his cor-
rupt servants, chastised New England with whips,
:his Administration have chastised her with scor-
pions. A repetition'of the same grievance will re-
mind us of the remedy."
