From the Charies,on Cary Oa=ette, July 49,
From Sou,6 .fn,eriea.--We learn from
Capt. Matthcas, Of the British sch. ST.. Ursu.
Ia, arrived here yesterday from the West
Indies, tha, the 9th June last he was in Car
abona, on the Spanish Maine, about IL
leagues southeast of Aiargare;ia, where he
saw and conycrscd with Gan. BoLivAR, the
leader OF the South A erican Patriot Army.
Gen. B. informed hin, that he had about
5000 men under his command, we'll armed
and disciplined, taa. his force was rapidly in-
creasng-- and that nearly all the ege Give
men in the vincinily were joining bis stan
dard. Gen. u. was waiting the arrival Of
General MARiSo, his second in command,
who was shoetly expected fsom Guere, with
an augmentation OF 500 men to his force,
which had been recruited In that neighbor-
hood when they joined him, he would i'm
mediatcly proceed to the attack OF Cumsna,
against which the most sanguine expectation
is entertained of success. Ii is the opinion
Of Capt. 81 (wao appears we'll vcrsed In
South America affairs that should this ex-

will push his cooquests to many other places,
and eventually become master OF the strong

LEGITIMATE HONESTY


In No. i8 Of Cobbet,'s Register, published
at New-York, there is an aneedo,c, Of which
Il Is In our power to give the particulars, and
OF another more atrocious, and in detail. lie
is descanting on the nature and objec, Of the
alien law before the English parliament, and
shelving to what uses despotism or minister
ial rapacity may apply it.--Cobbst,'s anecjoic
is as follows :-"Two French nobIemen, emi-
"grants, brought over 90 Eneland) i'm oaense
"sums Of money. They leo, it. on 59na, to
"fhrte 6rofheys, Of very p'ohsate family
the prince of.Wales, duke Of York, and
"duke Clsrenee.) When the bonds became
due, tho Frsnchmcn demanded their money.
They could not obtain il. They commen-
seed legal proceedings; or, at least went to
"consul, lawyers. Being alien enemies 10y
"the law they could not sue. They threat
"oncd to sell the bonds; aod (hear il and
"shudder) shey sYere seas cur 81 he country,
"ondcr the alien law they were landed IN
"Francc, and the bonds paid of by the gull
"lotine. The three brolhets were the ,hree
eidsH OF seuen." So far Cobbcu. The an
ccdote, of which we possess the Documentary
evidence, relates to the sum OF ono hagdred
thousand pounds sterling, which the same
three royal brothers borrowed from Jea: Jae-
ques de Became, a French gsnticman.---We
possess the notarial copies Of this bond, and
the papers relating TO it /; given by these hope
full princes, in the usual form Of law, with
taeir names, titles and seals affixed; and a
sreret hoher, attached, also signed with their
names, attes,cd by Charles BiekreR, notary
public, Londop; and dated the 5th day Of June,
1890, in the thirlielh year OF the reign Of
George III.
There accompanies those papers also,
letter from Ransom. Koriand, and Hammer
siey, bankers Of London, dated 18th June,
1890, conveying a no,atial copy 10 NJ. de
Beaune, addressed TO him at Union Court,
Broad street, London.
There is also copy of a verihe ation of the
pspcrs by Boulara and Briehard, OF date the
10th Novembes, 1890, at Paris. There arc
some additional papers, which 60 to tho samo
effective have mislaid the originals pres.
ent; but we shall give them verbatim very
soon. The winding up ofthc affair, however,
was as curious al it was villainous. This
money was procured for the purpose Of being
laid out in France, IN stimulating the revotu-
Gon--that is, e.reitiag irsurreenon. Recoliect,
reader, this was in the year 1870, and an c66e,
whose name is concealed, was the agent.
However, Monsieur de Beaaas was never ro-
paid his money. During the administration
OF lord Sidmoufh, alter the peace Of Amisns,
he applied TO that minister, who made him
promises Of psyment--and fulfilled them, by
AZ order to the aGsn Office, TO have him landed
on the coast Of France Il .duroro.

successful, result OF the Pnlioi aims. A
Corvette, from Engispt, had supplied them
with muskc,s and military stores Of every
kind QThis is just tho character Of the dou-
bled-hesded Jsnus.') MorilIo was TO be shut
up 10 Carthagens-his expedition sgsinss
Santa Fee having faiIed-und his soldiers de-
ser,ing daily.
This, then, appears TO be the propitious
moment Tor tho great blow 10 be st eek, for
the emancipation Of South America. Tho
expedition and preservance discovered in all
Bohvar's move ments, are admirable. His
cause will daily and hourly augment his re-
sources and the whole Atlantic coast and
Islands OF South America, may soon display
the Independent flag. We must, however,
roget the strociiy which diseolours even tho
csasc of freedom. The bloody spirit which
Spain brough, into the western world, has
not yet been exiinguishcd. The soyalists
massacre all their prisoners taken ia Combat
and tho Patriots retoliate. When the Span
ish government, brig, the In,sepido, struck
her colors after a desperate action with tho
comnandant, all that remained of her crew
were put to death on being boarded!

MARIETTA June 2.
We have painful duty to perform in record
ing an unparalleled scene of human misery and
anguish which occurred OH board the steamboat
Washington, lately built at Wheeling Virginia
md commanded by Capt Shreve She started
from Wheeling on Monday last and arrived at
this place on Tuesday evening following, at a.
bout o'clock, and safely came to anchor oppo-
site Point Harmar where she continued until
Wednesday morning The fires had been kind.
led and the boilers sufficiently hot preparatory
10 her departure when the anchor was weighed
and the helm put to larboard IN order to wear
her and place her in position to start her ma
chinery, but having only one of her rudders ship
ped the time, its influence not sufficient to
have the desired effect, and she shot over under
he Virginia shore where it was found expedlent
t. throw over the kedge at her stern to effect it,
This being accomplished, the crew were then
required to haul it again board, and were
aearly all collected that quarter for that pur.
pose At this unhappy, fatal moment, the end
IF the cylinder towards the stern, exploded and
threw the whole contents of hot water among
hem, and spread death 4 torture in every direc.
ion. The captain, mate, and several others were
knocked overheard but were saved, with the ex.
ceptiOn of one man who is still missing, by boats
from the town and by swimming to the Virginia
shore.
The whole town was alarmed by the explosion
every physician with number of the citizens,
went Immediately to their relief On going on
board, melancholy and really horrible scene
presented Itse If TO vIew-six or eight were near.
iy skinned from head TO feet, and others slightly
5calded, making, IN the whole, seventeen. IN
stripping off their clothes, the skin pealed oil
with them to a considerable depth added to
his melancholy sight, the ear Of the plying
spectator was pierced by the screams and groans
of the agonizing sufferers, rendering the scene
horrible beyond description.
The cause of this melancholy catastrophe may
be accounted for by the cylinder not having vent
through the safety-yalve which was firmly stop
ped by the weight which hung on the lever hay
ing been unfortunately slipped TO its extreme,
without beng noticed, and the length of time oc.
cupled in wearing before her machinery could
be set in motion whereby the force of the steam
would have been expended these two causes
inted, confined the steam TIL he strength of the
cylinders could no longer contain it, and It gave
way with the greatest violence.
The steam Boat was warped across the river
md safely moored in deep water at Point Har-
mar, where it is probable she will say several
weeks, till her boiler can be repaired.
As her cylinders were all on deck, the boat has
eceived no material injury from the explosion.
