section . which broke out on the 26th of January in
the city of Alajuela, province of Costo Rico, Cen-
tral America. The revolt was made in the name of
the King of Spain, and caused much alarm among
the Republicans, on account of the rapidity with
which it spread among the Indians. The leader was
JOSE.ZAMORA, a Lieutenant-Colonel, who reached
the.province of Costo Rico from Colombia. ZA-
MORA was seven days at the head of the rebels before
he was taken ; and such was' the dread he inspired,
that.the Republicans shot him twelve hours after he
fell into their hands, which was on the 6th of Fe-
bruary. Several other prisoners were taken, and con-
dernnef), to the mines.

We publish from an AMerican paper the following
article, with the letter annexed to it, from Mr.
BUCHANAN, the British Consul at New York.
Without any other information on the subject than
the prima facie evidence of the impropriety of the
conduct of the American Captain, afforded by the cir-
cumstance of the Marine Court at New York having
inflicted a fine upon him, we can only remark that
it appears to us to be a most extraordinary proceeding
o» the part of our Consul to repay the American
Skipper the amount of the fine so levied upon him.
If the seaman ungratefully repaid the preservation of
his life by improper conduct on board, we may
lament the depravity of his feelings—but it would
not justify the master in having recourse to illegal
means of punishing such conduct, which the sentence
of his own Court proves he adopted : and at all
events, we think Mr. BUCHANAN might with bet-
ter taste, have manifested his sense of the Master's
humanity in saving the persons from the wreck, by
presenting some compliment to him on that specific
ground, in preference to presenting him with the sum
which he had (no doubt, properly) been made to pay
for an act of in/it/ma/tug to a British subject ! the jus-
tice of the decision of the American. Court is also vir-
tually implicated by this proceeding of our Consul.
The following is the article in question
" The ship Isaac Hicks, Capt.'MoisoN, which ar-
rived at New York the 21st of May, on the night of
the 18th of April, in long. 20, fell in with and took off
the Captain and crew of the English brig Shp' sey,
which sunk a few minutes afterwards, and only one
barrel of pork and two hags of bread were saved from
the wreck. During the twenty-four days the unfortunate
crew were on hoard the Isaac Hicks, they were treated
by Capt. IVlorsox with all the hospitality in his power;
the officers lived with him in the cabin, and births I
were built in the steerage for the crew, to the annoy-
ance
of the passengers, and they were fed with the
same provisions as Ins own crew. After they had been
on board two days, Captain MOISON deemed it pro-
per to place them on the watches, and gave orders to
that effect. Three of the crew refused to obey, and
made, use of insolent language to Captain Moisox
and his officers. After importuning them three days
to go to work, two of them went to their duty—the
third continued refractory, and insulted the officers
daily. In order to preserve good order and discipline,
Captain MolsoN found it necessary to chastise this
man, and had him punished-18 stripes with a hand
lead line. For this act Captain MotsoN was brought
before the Marine Court of New York and sentenced
to pay a fine of 50 dollars. The British Consul took
care, however, that his conduct should not meet with
so base a reward. He transmitted to him the fol-
lOWing letter, and we are confident that no Englishman
will say he did wrong :"--
BILITIVH Corrsmerz, Naw YORN, .Inlm 5, 1826.
Stn—l regret that you should have met so ungrateful a return
for your successful and humane efforts in saving the lives of the
matter and crew of the British brig Skipsey—your generous con-
duct in not requiring remuneration for the support you afforded
the crew so long on board your ship, as also the terms in which
Captain Ilsto spoke to me of your uniform sympathy and kind-
mess, demand from me this public expression of my thanks.
The fine and costs to which you have been subjected by the un-
grateful and scandalous conduct of one of the crew, whose life you
saved, I feel it my duty to discharge, assuring you of the just feel-
ings of respect your conduct calls forth. I remain, Sir, your
€ll),:43ent servant,.

JAMES Mr. Wm. Noison, Captain of the Isaac Ricks, of BUCHANAN.
New York.

We copy from a New York Paper of the sth inst.
the following paragraph, adding another to the already
numerous accounts of the horrors of the Slave Trade,
a.s carried on by French vessels :
The Roxburgh Castle, China ship, Captain Denny, which ar-
rived at Quebec on the Bth ult., when six weeks out on her voyage
from Plymouth to Canton, in July last, about three degrees from
the Line, fell in with a large French slave schooner, rEicancre)
having nearly BO slaves on board. The poor creatures shut up
in the hold with the hatches closed were manacled two by two,
and the scene they presented to the officers of the Roxburgh
Castle when on board, is related, lays the Quebec Gaiette, as
the most heart-rending and offensive. The schooner carried four
guns; her complement of men had been reduced by sickness to
ten, and it was with a view of obtaining medical assistance that
her cargo became known on board of the Roxburgh castle. The
Eleanore was carried by Captain Denny into Sierra Leone. One
of the slaves, a boy, managed to conceal himself in the Roxburgh
Castle, and is now on board.

Jima Papers have also reached us. They come
down to the sth March last. They Contain the reply
which Bola VAR gate to the address from the citizens
of the Republic named after him, in which he ex-
Prhesses a hope that the differences between Brazil and
te new States will be adjusted amicably.
pThese Papers likewise give a very encouraging re-
ort of the mines of Chile. One rich vein is said to
Rave been discovered, which produced, in 20 days,
silver which was equal to halt a million of dollars.
This relates, we presume, to the mines near Coquimbo,
accounts of which reached us from Rio de Janeiro
some tune shier:.
We subjoin the extract of a letter, dated at Lima on
• the 13th March last :

General Bolivar arrived on the 6th or 7th tilt , from a sort of tri-
umphal progress through Upper Peru. Mining speculations have
been in Peru both numerous and extensive, and although, in con-
sequence, large capital has been required to carry them on, yet
bills of the Peruvian Government on their Lotulon agents oar
by
ao means in demand : on the contrary, they are at present re-
ceived with very great caution, and at heavy discounts—say from
20 to st) per rent., acconling to the loan on which they am
dravan—say that negotiated by Mr. J. P. Robertson, and the one
to be treated for by the Peruvian envoys Parades and Ohnedo,
who left this in July last for London. In the mercantile traneae.
tions of this year, a continued dulness has been the moat striking
feature. It is almost impossible goods should rise materially, the
quantity on hand being so great."
