This morning we received New Orleans Gazettes
of the 15th July.
(From the New Orlean.? Gazette of July 12.)

Lieut. 1. S. CUNNINGHAM, Commander of the
United States schooner Firebra►►d, art ived in town
yesterday morning from Vera Cruz, having brought

with him from that place Wyat, charged with the

murder of Capt. DRISCOLL, of the schooner For.
The Firebrand sailed from the Balize on the 2d.
ult., and arrived at Vera Cruz the 14th ; saluted
the Fort, having first ascertained that' it would be
returned gun for gun, which was, done; received
the prisoner Wyat on board, and sailed on
the 20th. During Lieutenant 'C.'s stay at Vera
Cruz, he was treated with marked civility by
the Officers of the Government, and by the Citi-
zens. On the 21 st, spok e the American brig Charles,
for Vera Cruz from New Orleans ; her Corn-
mander informed Lieut. C. that on the I.sth he
was boarded and taken possession of by a small
schooner, which her crew called by the fictitious
name of Liconnu, the Captain of which went by

the name of BON AMI ; she was under the Mexican
flag, 'and had a crew of 25 negroes and 3 white
officers ; overhauled the cargo of the Charles,
broke open all her letters, and detained her 12
hours, and then suffered her to proceed. On the
18th, the Charles fell in with the privateer Mexican
Congress (formerly the Calypso), Capt. PRIETT j was
ordered to send his boat and papers on board with
the Chief Mate ; after some hours detention, the
boat was sent back with orders to the Captain to
follow the privateer; in 3 hours she.ran out of sight
with the Mate and papers of the. Charles on hoard.
On the 3d da-y afterwards, the Firebrand fell in with
her, destitute of all her papers; and liable to be
treated as a pirate hy. the first_ vessel she might
meet with; being then within a day and
a half sail from Vera Cruz, convoyed her
back' within 'sight of that port.; on the 2d
of July the Firebrand arrived off Chenier Ca-
minada; at 'daylight saw a small sail standing
of from the land ; on seeing the Firebrand she
bore up, and ran into Barrataria ; Lieutenant
CUNNINGHAM, taking with him his gig and cutter,
with 10 men, went in pursuit of her ; at 2
came up 'with her nearly at the . head of 00
Lake, and took possession :ot -her' ; she had
been only two hours at sea, "from theniir'Ca-
tuinada ; when she , was, fitted out, she , had on
board 18 men; was armed:with' 1- swivel, 25 mus-
kets,
and 4 bltinderbusiei,.and bad every appear-
ance of being intended fO'T ,piratieal cruize ; th 4
next morning they brought Aber • into the Bay,of f
St. Louis.

We were somewhat carious to stein what man-
..
ner The Morning Chronicle would excuse itself for
inserting that wretched fabrication which appeared
in it yesterday; under .the- pretence of a Letter
from THE POPE to the Emperor ALEXANDER',
in favour of. BUONIPARTE. The Chronicle, how-
ever, makes a pitiable retreat, for it contents itself
with saying this day, that: " the Ministerial
pers have discovered a mare's nest in THE Pope's
Letter to the Emperor ALEXANDER,. which, upon
the face of it, is a political pleasantry."--'-
As we did. not load our columns -"With such
an evident imposition, our Readers cannot judge
of its pleasantry, hut we can assure them,
that a duller and more contemptible 'composition
was never attempted to be practised on credulity.
There is not any one passage throughout the whole
of the 'production that savours of pleasantry, as
The Chronicle pretends, nor can it by any possible
construction be distorted into irony. It is dull,
flat falsehood, " upon the face of it." If we were
disposed to waste any reasoning upon so stupid.a
subject, we should ask, why Taft POPE should
think of applying to the Emperor of RUSSIA, rather
than to any other of the Allied Powers ? Vas it
because BUONAPAETE invaded his dominions, spread
smoking ruins, and horrors of every description
over those dominiOns, and, if the Providential
severity of the season had not checked his course,
would have endeavoured to extend his .ravages to
Petersburgh, and, if be found it-expedient, would
have dethroned the lawful Monarch, and at-
tempted to establish a Dynasty of 'his own,

Such :tie the Aligittions to which the Emperor of
ll.osstA was under to BootqAPARTE, and which
might induce Ton Noes to imagine that At.ex-
at4llrha would eagerly interpose to procure the en-
largeinent of the deposed Usurper, and enable him
to set his minion* at work again to distal) the
peace of Europe, and spread disiiiay over the ci-
vilized world. But enough of this " political
pleasantry," as The Morning Chronicle calls 4.
there is hardly any factions credulity that could
have looked upon it as otherwise titan a most ab-
surd fabrication, ttiithout the slightest pretensions
to the character of humour. The Chronicle, how-
ever, has a much harder task to perform in vindi-
cating itself for baring been the medium of the''
pretended PROTEST from the Princess fi lA-
LOUISA. As soon as the authenticity of this im-
pudent invention was denied at Vienna, the Chro-
nicle turns round and declares, that it was trans-
lated from a German version, deposited in the
Archives of Frankfort, where also it has been
formally denounced as an imposition. We advise
the Chronicle to be more guarded, otherwise it
will be deemed the Mint of Mischief, 'if it be sup-
posed to invent such articles, or be thought la-
mentably deficient in its sense of. wit and humour
if it can consider them as effusions of " political
pleasantry."

After the lenity shewn by Government towards
the Rioters of Manchester, at the Lancaster
Assizes, who shall ;fare to accuse Ministers of a

Idisposition to exercise severity ?. Perhaps they
way rather be accused of giving encouragement
to mischievous spirits by inciting the hope of im-
punity. There can be no doubt that the Rioters
in question, if brought to trial,
.might have had
their guilt unequivocally demonstrated, and have
been exposed to the awful sentence of the Law.
But the peace of -the Counties was restored, in-
' dustry was exerting itself, trade was. increasing,
and Government 'was rather disposed to conciliate
by forbearance than to disturb the tranquillity so
happily restored, by scenes of bloodshed, which,
however justly inflicted, might irritate the mis-
chievous, and excite feelings or melaucholy and
horror in all the humane and well-disposed inha-
bitants of the districts - in which so much alarm
and confusion had prevailed, till the wisdom and
vigour of our Rulers arrested the evil in its course,
and brought the offenders into the danger of
atoning for their guilt at the tribunal of vindictive
justice.

noise. Professional gentlemen consider the de-
cision contrary to the law of France, as also the
law of nations, and say it can only be accounted
for by an anxiety .to propitiate the English GO,
