4 The capture Of FIVE French uArnof war
and one frigate at Cadiz, was BY n, mans
an heroic action, besides that it partakes of
the character Of treachery. They had gone
into that port and remained there undsr the
guarantee Of hospitality and friendship; TO
attack and capture them, therefore, was d
viola ton of that guarantee. They might
have been detained; but to make prize of
them was an act not altogether coaformable
to usage among CIVILIZED nations.

The interesting circumstance, 10 which
the hopes, the pride, and the affections Of
the united kingdom IRE 50 closely united,
took place on Tuesday last at Cove. The
wind bel ng round at East, the signal for
weighingwas made, alifra few minutes
his Majesty's ships the Don gal, 81, Capt.
Malcolm, and the Resistance and Crocodile
Frigates, forming the convoy, were under
sail. The Resistance was thevan ship, and
was followed by the transports, after which
the Donegal, with sir Arthur Wellesly and
his staff On board, stood out to sea. In pass
ing Carlisle fort mutual salute OF is guns
was fred, between the battery and the ship,
which was re-vchoed by the shouts of an
immense assemblage Of persons on shore,
who crowded on the ad;acet heights. The
entire feet stood out to sea under a propi-
tious breeze, and were soon out of sight,
accompanied by the prayers and the bless
sings of an admiring nultitude.
Should the intelligence prove well found
ed, that Bonaparte's sister, madame Murat,
has fallen into the hands of the patriots, it
cannot be looked upon as a triaing circum-
stance. He who is 50 earnest in the exal-
tation of his family to royal power, cannot
be indifferent to an event which throws into

Extract sfa letter from Fl0r1da, yeceioea
at Savannah, dated Axgust 10, 1908.
81 have just learnt that governor White
has not received any Official information
from Cuba, and consequently could not de-
clare war against France he however has
ordered the English to be admitted into the
province, and the French to be refused"
After passing by the seizure and desola-
ton of the Spanish capital, and the indis-
criminate slaughter of its inhabitants by
the French troops, without an expression Of
sympathy for their suferings, or single
animadversion on the cruel conduct of their
oppressors-Mr. Madison's Monitor, Of
Saturday last, closes its Frenchi6ed diatribe
with this disjointed paragraph. Let the
American reader peruse the article with at.
tention, and by contrasting it with the 81
lence which is observed on the cruelties in
Aicted on the Spanish government and peo-
pie, he will be able to say correctly what
will be the fate of his own country, should
the Patron of such opinions and sentiments
ever obtain rule over the United States.
