NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Pextenstrxr roa Prottnranto or Wamers.—Tkossas Mom,
of Moreton, labourer, was convicted at the Chester Anises of
stealing ropes from the wreck of the Mary and Betsey, stranded
on the Wallasey shore in October,lB.2o, and sentenced to death.
It is to be hoped, that all those persons who have hitherto looked
upon wrecking as a lawful trade, will learn from his sentence,
that by the law of the land, as well as the laws of humanity, it
is considered a most atrocious crime. By the 26th of Geo. If.
plundering a vessel in distress (whether wreck or no wreck) is
felony %About benefit of clergy.

never better off, or in fuller employ; and what gives
us additional pleasure to hear is, that every thing
there is vier, and no discontent appears.

Marty, Esq. and the latter by Admiral &cremes. The dis-
pute which led to this rencontre, originated at an Assembly in
London. The interference of the seconds to effect a reconcilia-

but luckily did him no serious injury. The affair was thus ter-
minated to the satisfaction of all panic's.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM WASHINGTON, DATED
MARCH 26:

The European Ministers at Washington, very
probably, in the absence of special instructions, feel
it a duty to enter their protests against our recogni-
tion of South American Independence, with a view
of extending or withdrawing said protest when fur-
ther advised. But this proceeding, no doubt, will
'have no effect on the President, whatever it may have
on the Congress."
