DREADFUL 111A,SSICRE.O.V.puAiiia,THE
SOUTH-SEA ffILILER, THE ELI24BETH.

The following details of a most barbarous massacre,
which occurred on board the South-sea whaler, the
Elizabeth, just arrived at Deptford, while lying off the
island of Vavaoo, has been communicated by one of
the surviving crew. Though the parsiculara have not
as yet been communicated to the PUblic, we believe
that a full repo of the melancholi catastrophe has
been made to the Admiralty, by Mr. Mellish, of Lower
Shadwell, the owner of the Elizabeth: We give the
narrative of our informant without any change in style
or arrangement on our part :
u On the 29th of September, 1822, the Southseaman
the Elizabeth sailed from London, and after the lapse
of a year, during which period she was occupied in the
object of her voyage (the whale fishing), came to an
anchor in the harbour of Port Refuge, in the.island of
Vsivaao, situa'e in long. 18.50. S. and lat. 174.. W.
4, The inhabitants of the island are of a copper colour,
and most of them of a gigantic size. Their hair is
stained with a variety of colours, principally black,
white, and red, and they tattoo their backs and thighs,
but by no means in so neat or regular a manner as the
other islanders of the South Seas. 0.1 the vessel coming
to an anchor, the natives hurried down in shoals, and
in the most generous and abundant manner supplied
the ship's company with fruit, herbs, vegetables, and
other productions of the island. la return for this ge-
nerosity, the Captain presented their Chief, Fenow,
with a musket, and half a barrel of powder. On our
arrival at this island of Vavaoo, we found on shore five
Englishmen, whose names were Brown, a man called
Jemmy (his surname could nox be found out), James
Loft, Henry 'Fillet, and William Barwell. The two
former were saved from the ship Port-au-Prince, when
taken at a neighbouring island; the third was a con-
vict; and the two latter escaped from the wreck of the
Ceres, Captain Lancaster; who, with several of his
crew, were Inasalered'at the island of Tanana.
We sailed from Port Refuge on the 2Sd of Septem-
ber, 1825, taking with us three of the natives, two men
-and a boy, one of whom shortly afterwards became
idiotic, and leaped overboard while the vessel was run-
fling at the rase of six knots an hour ; a boat was never-
thetess lowered, and he was picked up. When he was
brought on board he appeared
.quite unconcerned, in
consequence of which the Captain oi dered him forward,
and gave directions that he should be prevented holding
any communication with his fellaw-catuuriymen. He
some time afterwards aimed a blow at one of the men
with the cook's axe, for which he was flogged, and turn-

ing out extremely troublesome, the Captain subse•
quently put him on shot e nt the island of Tongatabom
from whence he found his way back to Vavaoo. The
remaining nitives were treated with the greatest kind-
ness during the whole time ;hey rem ,ined with us. We
afterwards cruised off I;cosh, and canner came MK
Among these we s.l w several natives of Viva* oho
had been sent by Fenow Kith presents to the Chief of
the island. By these we uere in med that 'a vessel
had run on shore at Vaysoo, and that Monts had ad.
vised Fen.,w to seize her and murder the crew, but that
Fenow, rejecting his advice, had mustered his men and
got her o This was, however, considered as an idle
tare, by the ship's company ; and Leing soon after in
w.int of wood and water, we made a second trip to
Vavaon. On our arrival these we fired two guns, but
these were taken no notice of, in consequence, as we
then imagined, of its being too late for any canoes to
come off. We were somewhat surprised at. Brown's
not coming, as he had promised the Captain he would
do so. On our arrival we lay off.during the night, but
next -morning we approached, and were allowed to en-
ter the harbour without any one having appeared; At
length advancing up it, we observed a canoe concealed'
behind some locks, apparently for the purpose of recon-
noitering us. These circumstances excited our suspi-
cions; homy, r, we came to an anchor, such was the
confidence our unfcrtunate Captain placed in the sa-
vages, who were destined to be his murderers.
" At two o'clock, P.M. a message came down from
Fen.sw to the Captain, informing him that there was,a
castongo, or feast on the island, or that he and Brawn,
whom they called Asfonkir, would have come on board
before. At eight o'clock, A.M. a canoe came down,
containing Brown, Fenow, and several of his Chiefs.
Fenow was immediatey taken into the cabin, where
the Captain made him a present of a checked shirt and
a pair of blue trowsers,, which, however, he soon eit-
changed with one of his Chiefs for a tappa,.and which,
no doolst, was done for the better concealment of his
club. The native who had been wish us,..was very
assiduous in pointing out the °dicers to Fenow .during
dinner. The Captaid s rifle hung up in his cabin, ,which
Fenow seeing, %s as anxious. to obtain possession of it,
atld asked the Captain to give it to him ? but, this be
declined doing,
_much to the displeasure of the Chief.
After dinner, the natives were observed playing clubs
and spears, in the chains; they were instantly ordered
out, and the barbarians themselves turned off the decks.
Directions were then given to load the muskets and
great guns, two muskets being previously seat into the
main-top, and two into the fore-top. This being done,
the Captain walked forward to turn the natives off the
deck, and had proceeded- as far as the waste: when
Fenow, coming, behind him with.the stancheOlOvhich
.supports the skidds, and giving, the owar-hoOpi struck
the Captain on the forehead as .he was turning round
to know the cause of the tumult.

The contest now became general, and a dreadful
slaughter ensued, ih which, as the crew were unarmed,
the natives must have been victorious, if it had not been
for the arms in the tops. The fire from the foretop was
most terrific. On one side hay the chief mate weltering
in his gore, and alongside of him J Jacobson in nearly
a similar state. Ju-t before the mainmast the Captain
was engaging two of the savages,with his claw-hammer
(the only weapon of defence that he could iay.his hands
on), when a third came up anti struck him a .desperate
blow with his club on the head, which felledlina to the
deck. The Captain lay on the starboard side of the
deck in the most wretched condition, and. abat& of him
the third mate, W. Bradshaw, and G. Cameron, in a si-
milar state. In short, the ceck was a continued scene
of blood and slaughter. An incessant firing was kept
up from both tops, and we sow had the pleasure to find
that Fellow had kapeli overboard, thotigh non before he
had given the unfortunate Captain, who at the time lay
senseless, and bleeding from every pore, another des-
pera:e blow ; and so great w 4,1 the alarm of the natives
at the report of the guns and the desertion of deli Chief,
that in a few minute's the dickssaere almost cleared.—
Those who were in the tops then-descended to lend their
assistance to those below. Brown at .this instant made
his appearance at the gangway, and rushed into the
Rabin, from whence with the greatest difficulty he made
his escape, which was much regretted on 'the part of
the surviving crew, as they thought that he and one of
the other Englishmen they found on the island was the
cause of this inhuman massacre. Some, of .the crew
then got into the boats that were over the quarter-decks,
'and successfully used the lances, harpoonsrasid spears
against the natives, while others, with masketisand logs
of wood, killed all they met with hanging to the sides
orthe ship or swimaniug alongside. Our attention was
next directed to the wounded who lay about the deck.
The Captain was the first who was taken belinv, when
his wounds were-washed and plasters applied. The
principal wound he received was. on the forehead; it
proved mortal, and terminated his existence in about
ten days. Mr. Goldsmith, the chief mate, was the next
attended to; he lingered for forty-eight hours in an
insensible state, and then expired. The carpenter was
the next to.whom we came; he was lying on the star-
board side, foaming with blood at the nose and mouth ;
when his wounds were examined his skull was found to
be completely smashed. He survived till five o'clock
the following morning, when death put an end to his
sufferings. 'The only one of the rest of the crew who
received any serious injuries was William Lear. His
life was despaired of but in the course of a fortnight
the wound assumed a favourable appearance, and leis
now in this country, whither we returned on, the 96th
of May, in the same vessel, which, notwithstanding the
calamities it experienced, rcturned, owing to the indefa-
tigable exertions of the surviving crew,with a full cargo."

We received last night the Aldan Glzcite of the
27th July. It contains no intelligence of Interest, and
is almost filled with details of the Essraaoa's tour in Italy.
The report of a• treaty having been concluded. be-
tween the French Govetnment and the Republic of
Hayti, says a French Ministerial Paper, remains un-
contradicted. Tke latter, it is said, is to pay to France
150 miilions of franca,• as an indemnity for the ancient
proprietors of that colony. • By a treaty of commerce,
all the ports of. Hayti ate' to he thrown open to France,
and the duties upon all gOods imported into that island
frt,rn France are to be reduced.—Journal des Urban.

ilakersag, AUGUST L—On Loudon, 56. B'Us. 35. 9.

The first part of the great financial measure so long
cherished by M. Ds VlLima, has at length been car-
ried into effect, and, considering the keen opposition,
misrepresentation, and odium, which he had to en-
counter in every step of its progress, the Minister nay
be said to have begun the reduction of the French Na-
tional Debt with reasonable success. The second part
of his scheme is yet to be tried ; and it will in all pro-
Debility succeed to a far greater extent. Indeed there
can be little doubt that the event, which is to be de.

dared on the 22d of September, will chew that the last
part of his project has, in a considerable degree, marred
the first.
The subject being of some importance to the Monied
Interests on both sides of the Channel, we think it worth

whi:e to enter more particularly into some explanation
of its bearings; and the better to enable our Readers
to form a comparison with the English Funds, we shall
give the results in sterling money.
The whole Fended Debt of the French Nation is
equal to a perpetual annuity of 8,000,0001. each por-
tion of which is redeemable, at the Minister's pleasure,
for twenty times its amount. In other words, it is a
capital of 160,000,0001. in the Five per Cents. redeem-
. able at par. A Sinking Fund of one per Cent. or
1,600,0001. per annum is also provided, to redeem so
much of this Annuity as it may from time to time ac-
complish, msking a total charge of 9,600,0001. per
annum, which, we may remark' in passing, exceeds con•
siderably the whole National Debt of England at the
termination of the American war, in 1786. Up to Fe-
br.-.ary last, however, the Sinking Fund had redeemed
as Arr.aity of 1,508,0044. which added to itself, gives

it a present force of 9,108,0041-; so that the Annuity
unredeemed, is in fact only 6,491,99fi1. or a capital of
129,839,9201; in the Five per-Cents.
M. Da Var.'s.; observing the surprising facility
with which the Annuity payable to the holders of are
Five and Four per Cent. Stocks of this country bad
been reduced to a lower rate, conceived very naturally
that it was possible in France, under all circumstances,
to effect a similar retrenchment ; the more especially as
the overflow of unemployed capital in this country had
generated a passion for speculation beyond all example.
He proposed a law, enabling him to offer Four, in-
stead of Five per Cent. to the Public Creditors, and to I,
raise, by way of Loan, the necessary funds to pay off,
at par, the Stock belonging to those who should refuse
the proffered terms. But in no country are monied
men actuated by patriotic feelings in the employment
of capital, least of all in France. Besides the Revo-
lutionary Faction, he was opposed by the more pow-
erful Monied Interest, and had his Bill finally rejected
last year in the Chamber of Peers. He has persevered,
however, and has, in this Session, obtained the consent
of the Legislature to the same proposal in a new form,
but coupled with another most important prospective
measure, which cannot fail to render the complete at-

tainment of the first object exceedingly difficult, if not
impossible.

He purposed to reduce the interest of the Debt by
means of a conversion of Stock from eight millions to
6,400,000!. which, if effected, would produce a saving
of 1,600,0001. per annum. He will then create a
capital of forty millions of Three per Cent. Stock to
indemnify the emigrants, the Interest of which
(1,200,0001.), to be defrayed out of the above saving—
a most necessary and just measure, which is to be ac-
complished gradually, in the course of five years; but
still it is the same thing as a Loan of forty millions,
and, by bringing into the Market an accession of so
much Stock, the value of what was there already will
infallibly be depreciated.
With this grievous disadvantage, the plan of reducing
the interest of the Debt commences. Three options are
given to the stockholders.
Ist. He who had 1001. stock, yielding him an income
of 51. was offered 13341. stock In the 3 per Cents. pro.
clueing an income of 41. but he was to declare his ac-
ceptance of this on the 6th of this month.
td. If the party has refused this, he may exchange
his income of 51. for an income of 41.105. which shall
be secured to him for ten years certain; after which it
may be redeemed, on payment of 1001. That is, he
may exchange 5 per cent. stock for an equal capital is
the 4 per cents. redeemable at par after ten years.
Bat be must declare his acceptance of this proposal on
or before the 22d of September strict. •
3d. If both those offers are refined, the Public Cre-
ditor retains his 5 per Cent.Stocl;sisbject to the chance
of having it paid off in whole or in part at par, whew
ever the Minister shall hereafter hive it in his power to
spare money for that purpose, either from the Sinking
Fund or a surplus of Revenue; or both.
Now the first option is that which has just been ex-
ercised. It is very evident that in the present state of
Europe, after ten years of peace, he is a sanguine phi-
lanthropist who will affirm that this peace shall conti-
nue for much more than ten years to come. If so, we
must admit that the Fifth Monarchy has arrived, and
that the world is now decidedly under the dominion o f
the Saints ; for no one who is not of this opinion would
assent to the first proposition, and acceptof an income of
4 per Cent. while be refuses one of 4. per Cent. guaran-
teed
to continue ten years at all events, unless, as is pos-
sible, he might expect to benefit by some manoeuvre of
stockjobbing ;—such as selling out on any sudden rise.
It was accordingly predicted by Mr. Cssauna Pustsa
that this part of the plan would be wholly inefficient,
and that the Minister would not receive assents to the
extent of Eight Millions of Stock, and we observe that
the Bank of France has not assented at all.

Notwithstanding this prediction, however, whether
by official influence, as is alleged, or otherwise, the
result has been, that nearly one-fifth of the whole Debt
has been reduced by the voluntary assent of the stock.
holders to the first option ; as 24,550,6142. of stock in
the 5 per Cents. bearing an interest of 1,227,5801. has
been converted into 82,734,1521.5t0ck in the S per Cents.
bearing an interest of 982,0241. and thas'prodncing a
direct saving of 345,506/. per annum—sufficient to
raise for the Emigrant Loan immediately a capital of
14516,9004 in part of the proposed indemnity.—
And we observe Oat the new Three per Cent. Stock is
at sale for 76k, while the old Fives are only 1021. To
account for which, it is stated, that the efforts of the
Sinking Fund are to be directed so as to keep up the
price of the new Stock on every convenient opport unity.
We shall revert to certain political probabilities arising
out of this subject on a future occasion; but, in: the
meantime, conclude with a comparison of the Ends
Funds with those of this country, at the last prices of
yesterday..

Mexican Papers to the Sd of June have been re-
ceived. It is known that much discussion had arisenl
in the Mexican Congress, when the treaty with this
country was submitted to the consideration of the
Chambers, on a motion for adding an additional ar-
ticle, containing a formal recognition of the inde•
pestilence of Mexico. The result is nowhere officially
aged, and is not mentioned in the proceedings of the
Congress, the reports of which are very Lave'

given. It is probable thattabe dosision took place
in a secret sitting, and from the allusions occasional')
made to" the treaty, in the Agwil, of which we have
later dates than of a Not, it appears that the propo-
sition was rejected, as has already been stated. The
PRESIDRNT, in his speech on the closing of the Ses-
sion, observes that the treaty bad been adopted by the
Congress, and says nothing of any additional article.
A letter from a senator, addressed to the editor of
the Apia, dated the 11th of May, thus states how
the question ts en stooa in the body to which he be:
longs : ti It is certain that objections were made in the
Chamber of Deputies, and are now reproduced in the
Senate, censuring the absence of an article for the ex-
press recognition of our independence by Great Britain,
as the precise basis of the commerce stipulated in the
treaty. It is also certain that thirteen senators signed a
motion for the insertion of such an article." This mo-
tion had been tefeired to a Committee; but the writer
of the article says, fs there is no fear that the Com-
mittee and the Senate would so far forget their duty as
to adopt so absurd a proposition." The Session of the
Congress terminated on the 21st of May, and an ac-
count of the PRISIDUTII speech has already been re.
ceived through the New York Papers; but we shall
here quote the passage which relates to this treaty :-
64 England, the most powerful State of Europe, rela-
tive to us, has recognised the independence of Anahuca ;
and that nation which, though thousands of leagues
from your coasts, may yet be said to inhabit the
American continent, and even to border on us, has, on
this basis, concluded treaties of friendship, navigation,
and commerce, which were submitted to the considera-
tion of the Chambers, and which have now received
their approbation." The President of the Chamber of
Deputies, in his reply, also alludes to the treaty. In
recapitulating the labours of the Legislature, he last of
all just mentions 41 the deliberations worthy of the zea-
lous representatives of this new nation, and the 111111.1 t
debates on the approbation of the treaty of commerce
and friendship with the King of GREAT BRITAIN." To
these extracts we may add one more from the leading
article of the Agnila of the 21st s

" The treaty with England is brought to a conclusion on the part

The Aga& of the 2d June contains an account of the
presentation of Mr.WA np,the British Charge d'Affaires,
to the PRISIDENT, but does not give his speech. The
PAZSIDZOT, in his may, reiterates the fact of Great
Britain having recognised Mexico as a free and lode.

This forenoon we received Lisbon Gazette:, to the
31st ult. but they contain little news. The health of the
Infanta Donna LEAN/MLA, who had been indisposed, is
said to be much improved. The brig Full Portuguese,
Capt. F. GONSALVES Rocca, and the Amalie brigan-
tine, Capt. M. GOMIS DO SAp had arrived at Oporto,
on the 16th alb from Rio de Janeiro, in 7$ days ; also
the schooner Dispique do Maranhao, in 43 days, from
1 Wraiths= t all was quiet when she left that place. The Yana,
freak ltio de Junin, arrived two days afterwards, bridging papers
to the lath of Slay.

Hamburgh Papers to the Bth instant reached us this
forenoon. They contain no political news. An ankle from Pots-
dam states, that the iron ►ridge over the Havel, at Potsdam, begun
is the summer of len, was opened on the evening of the Slot
alt. sa the return of the Ring of Paussza from Toplits, whom
carriage was the first that passed along it. His Moaner examined
it nest morning, and expressed himself highly pleased with the
work, and gave two hundred dollars to be distributed among the
' workmen. It consists of eight iron arches, which were cast In the
foundry near Gialvits, in Upper Silesia, and weighs 25,000 cwt.
It is six hundred Rhineland feet leg; the carriage way is twenty
feet broad, and a raised foot-way, Ave feet on each side.

The Austrian Observer, of the 9th July, receivbd this
forenoon, has a long article directed against two arti-
cles in the Constitutionnel. "The two articles," says the

Austrian Observer, " are of such a nature, that it would
be loss of time to attempt a formal refutation of diem ;
they heir too plainly the stamp of their origin." One of
them relates to the late Count Bosun, Commander-in-
Chief in Lombardy. %%hose death, says the Conniff&
flexed, is regretted in Lombardy, because I.e had pro-
posed to give the Italians a constituent Government,"
ail which is a mere fable.

The other article is from a respectable correspondent,
and dated Napoli di Romania, 15th May, and states
that an Anstian squadron had arrived there, on board
which was an Officer charged with a mission to the
Greek Government, the object of which was to propose
the establishment of a Monarchical 'Government in
Greec', in the person of the ion of the Ez.Kiog of
Swami.
