A letter from St. Croik, dated 30th December, states as fol-
lows :—" I beheld this morning, in company with several gen-
tlemen, one of the most horrible sights my eyes ever encoun-
tered. An English brig-of-war, which cruises in the vicinity of
Porto Rico, while running from St. Thomas to this island, ob-
served at a considerable distance a. small dirty-looking
craft; which would not have been suspected as a slaver,
but from a number of men seen on deck. After a short space
the brig came up to her, and from her appearance the Com-
mander of the brig was satisfied. She was no slaver, buthe con-
cluded, after having taken the trouble of giving her a chase,
they might as well search her. On opening the hatches they
fouaid the hole crammed with negroes, from eight to twelve
years old, stark naked, with their heads shaved. The
crew of the slaver was immediately taken on board the brig,
and the slaver manned and brought in' o port. Several of the
little sufferers were very ill, and one died last night.
Accounts from Mexico, of Dec. 14, state, that since our last
July revolution, business has been in a most deplorable state.
Instead of purging the body politic it seems to have had.the
effect of consolidating the abuses and corruptions of men in
office. The excessive Customs'-house duty, 15 per cent., is not
only continued, but even a backwardness is shown to return the
money unjustly levied during the six months allowed by law.
The foreign Ministers are enormous in their demand; the
Treasury are in too low a condition to cash up. We have an
overwhelming circu'ation of copper raging, from six to eight
millions of dollars issued at :about one-third of its value,
whirls is operating to the prejudice of the trading community;
at present it is at a discount of 7 per cent.
