From the Cape Fear Herald
April 5th.

a circumstance has happened
in this town Wilmington, NC. j.,
which, we believe, cannot find
counterpart in the civilized world.
a man, calling himself Ronald
francis Murray, came to Will
mington about eight months since,
under apparent pecuniary embar-
easements, and was received by the
community with that open conf
dence and hospitality so common
and SO natural among the citizens of
the south. He was man ofmuoh
literary information, & by his 9ia-
lcct and by his own account, be-
lleved to be Scotchman: although
he was capable of assuming almost
any character, as the event will
shcw. He FIRST established himself
in the good opinion of the heads of
one of the most respectable com.
mercial houses in this place, by his
assiduity and attention to business
and became, we understand, the
FIRST agent of the countng-room.
MeantirAe, a general appreciation
came from every quarter, of the
excellent talents of the soiourner,
and al cndcaYored to bring COM
fort to the "EXILEp"-Hc be-
came an inmate of a family, 1.-THE

HAYrIAN OUTRAGE.

HAYTIAN OUTRAGE.
Some of our brother2editors, we
perceive, are disposed to oeubt the
truth or accuracy of the account,
which we published on the 22d ult.
of the murder ofJAMEs WAFSoN,.
an American mariner, at Port-au-'
Prince, by order Of The brigand-
president, Potion. Why such scep-
tism should find It's way into the
columns of American Journals, we
are at a loss to account for. Potion,
it is true, when compared to Chris.
tophe, isjustly entitled to the adiec-
tive milder, but this is far from adj
hitting his mildness-it is term
expressing his grade on the scale Of
cruelty. Many are the bloody
deeds perpetrated by his authority,
and the murder of Watson is one.
It's particulars are derTUed from a
source that admits no doubt. They
are likewise corroborated by lieu
tenant M. P. MIX, OF the United
States navy, who handed them for
publication, and was a sad spectator
of the tragedy. 1t is hoped, that
