ming contains long article, dated St. Fran
cisvile, June 18th detailing the progress Of the
republican arms in Mexico, and embracing .
Proclamation inviting the I" Freemen of al,
nations" to flock to that new |" Republic"
The article states, that, " on the 29th of
March, Gen. Ryon defeated the royalis,s in a
general action, at Suketukus, in the interior,
with immense slaughter--he had reduced
twenty-five provinces, and his propects brigh-
tened daily. Accounts had reached St. Fer
nando, that the city of Mexico was occupied
by the Republicans, and tina, the royalists were
submitting or flying in every part oi Mexico,
where the Republican legions advanced"
But the bravcst and most wonderful exploit
is thus detailed" Early in April, de,ach-
ment Of ten Republicans summoned seventy
royaIists to surrender, saying they were sur
rounded by Americans; the aHrighted SOL
diers grounded their arms and were marched

THE oUrRAGEs AT HAMPTON.

THE 0UTRAGES AT HAMPTON.
Upon first readiRg the letters OF Major
Crutch6eId and Capt. Cooper, we were satis-
6ed that the brutal enormiiies committed at
Hampton on the defenceless women, were
true. Many, however, disbelicved 1t, either
because their own honourable feelings would
not permit them 10 believe that even an ene-
my could perpetrate such atrocious villainy,
SO contrary to the usagcs of modern warfare,
OF because they naturally thought that all the
respectable females had left the town, and
that none remained but the worthless and a.
bandoncd, fit associates fos the rufians who
took posse ssion OF il. But it was untortun-
a:eiy otherwise, the attack was made before
the female inhabitants could generally leave
the place. Respectable federal papers,as well
as democIauc ones, received by yesterdays
southern mail concur in declaring these hor-
rid oulrages to be true, beyond the extent pub
lishcd.
Much as.we abhor this unnecessary war,
and the authors of it, (andwe do most cordial
iy detest botb) there is point beyond which
no man who is husband, father, son, or a
brother, Can 60. The females OF this coun-
try at least did not declare the war; and he who
refuses to protect them, who cannot protect
themselves, is unworthy Of belonging to any
country. The outraXes committed on these
unfortunates must be atoned for by MOST sIc-
NAL AND AMPLE vENSEANcE, as well as TO
deter IN futu,e. If war must rage, Let it not
be Carried beyond the lines Of demarka,ioO
which humanity and the usagcs OF civilized
nations have allotted to it. If il is the officers,
and privates are equally responsible.
This is no question of democracy or federal
ism. 1t has nothing to do with politics. II
is the cause of humanity--of dishonored A.
merican females--there can be no heitation---
Justice must rctaliatc-.fnH, AMPLE and COM
hiefe. To day, these atrocities, at which hu-
man nature shuddcrs, have been committed
at Hampton. Tomorrow, some OF your own
connexions In distant towns, may DC the VIC
TINS Of brutal violence.

SUCCESSFUL aKIR1lISH


The Plautsgenet "a, Mas for some time
past been lying off Cape Henry light house,
near enough IN shore to project tae landing
OF her men who were sent on shore to pro-
cure water. The enemy had sunk wells fol
thi, purpose on the Cape Point, where there
is excellent water, and every day visiting
them in their barges, supplying themselves
WIKI water, and plunderlng the inhabitants.
Yesterday, detachments from two companies
OF she princess Ann militia, amounting 10 de
bout so, under the command OF Captain Rich
ard Lawson, marched down to the Cape, and
took position behind sonc sand hills, about
40 yards in the rear ef the wells.
AT half past this morning, barge full OF
men from the ship, was seen rowing towards
the shore. They landed about o'clock, aud
al hands proceeded 70 the wells, where they
received full fire from the militia, who un-
ill that moment were concealed from their
view by the sand hills. The enemy was pam
ic struck. They threw down their arms, and
ran in confusion to their boat. Some were
cut off while running, and those who reached
the boat Immediately laid down in her and
dust not shew their heads. Capt. Lawson, 10
prevent an unnecessary cflusion OF blood, OF
eered his men TO cease firing, and summoned
the enemy TO surrender, when they made the
requisite tokens of submission, and were all
taken prisoners. The epemy's force consist
cd OF Licuta. s seamen and 8 marines and
they had three marines killed, and Lleut.
2 seamen and Q marines wounded. We had
not one man injured. AS the barge could
not be removed without exposure 10 the guns
of the ~, piece OF cannon which was IN fier
bow, and whatever else could be detached
from her, were taken out and she was scut-
tied.
The only vessel visible in Lynnhaven this
morning, are the Plantagenet "a, the Ortolan
sloop of war, and brig.
