LATEST FROM LONDON.

BY the arrival this morning Of the /.
British brig Edward Byam, % days from I
Liverpool file of London papers to the
18th OF August, and Lloyd's List OF the
18th Of the same month are received at
the office of the Evening Post, from which
we have made the following extracts -
We understand from the Capt. Of the
Edward Byam, that there had been no
arrivals from the United States at Liver. /
pool for the four days previous to his sail
lug, Goth August.
The queen of England had SO far re-
covered, from her late indispositiou, as TO
be able 10 ride out. 1t is said she has un'
dergone an operation by which the water
IN her chest has been withdrawn.
There was a report in London on the
18th OF August, that advices had been re-
ceived OF an attempt to assassinate young
Napoleon. Several ruffians, it it stated
broke into the chamber where the youth
was IN bed, and aimed thrust with a
Poignard at his breast, but which only
wounded him in the arm, and he succeed
ed 10 getting out of bed and raising an
alarm. Three Of the villains were Sc
cured the rest made their escape.
MIR. Kean, the actor, and his fellow
traveller, were nearly dashed to atoms on
their way to Geneva, by the breaking
down Of the carriage on the Jura moun'
tains, about two o'clock in the morning
but they had the good fortune to reach
village about two miles from the spot where
the accident took place, and where they
obtained shelter.
The Secretary belonging to the suit Of
Lord Castlereah arrived at Aix-La Cha
pelle on the 4th August. His Lordship
was TO follow in few days, to meet the
Congress Of sovereigus, about to assem-
BILE at that place
An Article from Stockholm, dated
2lst July, states that two vessels are fl
ting out, one for Algiers, with 80 twenty.
-FOUR pounders, and 1900 balls on board:
and the other for Tunis with "a guns oil
the same calibre, with otherwarlike stores
These, the London papers say, are the
tributes which it was lately stated the

to Capt. Boyles, saying that the civil au-
thority had no concern with them, &c. and
proceeded TO deliver them from Jail to a
guard, for the purpose Of escorting them
to Montgomery. They proceeded only
two or three miles from the town, where
they were all inhnmanly murdered, and
left uninterred. The guard returned and
reported, that on their way they were met
and attacked by party Of men, who see
ing the Indians, Immediately fired aud
killed them. Yesterday jury of inquest
was held on the bodies, but have not yet
reported their verdict. The popular and
prevailing opinion OF the majority Of the
people is, that they were wilfuily asd
barbarously murdered, by party pre-
concerted for the horrid purpose. The
friends Of civil order have set their faces
and their opinions against the proceedings,
aud seem determined that such gross vio-
lations OF justice aud humanity, shall not
pass with immunity. A mob has already
made its appearance and excited much
fear and alarm among the people. ! hope
the civil authority will succeed in putting
down all rioters and disturbers of the
peace, yet fear we shall have further
trouble, originating from the above pro-
ceeding."

DETROIT, Aug. 2
A CAPTIVE FOUND.

In the year 1870, and probably in the
month of May, boy about 8 years OF
age was taken prisoner by the Indians.
The place where he was captured, as near
as it can be ascertained, was upon the
bank Of the Ohio, in Kentucky, shcrt
distance below the mouth OF the Great
Miami.
For many years he has been living in
the country upon Red River, which flows
into lake Winnepec, and few days since
he arrived at this place, on his way to
seek his friends and relatives. He speaks
no English, and it has been thought ad-
visabIe that he should remain here, where
he will be fed aud clothed at the public
expense, until The opening of the coun-
Gil, which is to be held with the Indians
on the tenth of September next, at ST.
Mary's in Ohio, where he will be taken
in the expectation that this notice will
reach some of his connections, that they
will there take charge of him.
His memory is very retentiVe, and he
relates with great precision, and | have
no doubt very accurately, the situation
of his family, and the circumstances o.
his capture.
He states that his name is John Taylor
aud he thinks his fathers name was
Johnnie had one brother and five sisters
that his father went to bis cornfield where
some negroes were hoeing corn, and that
he was left at home to take care of his
younger brother-that he went into the
woods to pick up walnuts, and was there
taken by party Of seven Indians. He
has a scar on the left side of his neck
and on the left cheek, occasioned, as ht
says, by sore when quite young.
He states that party followed the In
dams who captured him, overlook aut
had an action with them, in which the
Shawanoese chief, Black Fish, was killed
These circumstances, it is believed
will be sufficient to recall him to the re-
collection of his friends, and to identify
him to any person who may attend TO St
Mary's for the purpose of claiming him.
He manifests such solicitude upon the
subject, that I cannot but hope, he will
be enabled to discover aud visit his rela.
tons.
The Editors of papers in Kentucky
will oblige the subscriber, and render an
acceptable service to the cause of human
ity, by inserting this notice in their pa
pers. LEWIS CASS.

From the Mobile GaSette of dug. a.

The transactions stated in the extracts
from Claiborne, in reference to the wan
ion and cruel butchery of five Indians, is
the most disgraceful act that stains the
American character.
For the honour of our countrymen, we
hope that we may hear of some palliating
circumstances-something like an excuse,
or that the perpetrators will be discover
ed and punished to the utmost rigour OF
the law, as means, in some small degree,
Of wiping the indelible, the disgracefuI
stain, from our name, and as demonstra-
Bile TO foreign nations, that it was not a
national act, nor consoDant TO American
feelings; but perpetrated by some of those
vagabonds that hang loose on the outskirts
Of every nation, however generally hu-
name, honourable and brave.
Copy Of letter from a gentleman al
Fort Claiborne, TO another in tbs place,
dated July 20, 1918.
The inhabitants of this town are in
great commotion, 10 consequence OF the
following recent and horrid transaction
On Sunday evening Captain Boyle's COM
pany brought in five male Indians, who
were taken short time since, on or near
Perdido river. He succeeded in taking
them as follows He possessed himself
OF their squaws and children, and through
their means told the Indians II they would
surrender, they should receive his pro-
lection, &c. and on these conditions they
surrendered themselves prisoners.
+" Immediately on their arrival here,
they were committed to Jail, having been
committed by Capt. Boyles to the care Of

Stolen goods recovered On the night
OF the 10th ult. the shop of Mr.. Jacob
Sergeant, of this city, was broken open
and robbed Of watches, jeweIry, &c. to
the amount of upwards Of $4,000. Hand
bills, Offering large reward, were imme,
diateiy circulated in every direction but
20 discovery was made, either OF the
thieves or the property stolen, until the
last week, whenthey were found in a barn
IN Ashford, about 80 miles from this city.
Early Oh Thursday morning last, little
girl went into the barn in search of eggs,
aud perceived two men of suspicious
appearance, busily employed on the hay
mow.-She Immediately acquainted her
father with the fact, who repaired thither,
and proceeded to search the barn. On
removing quantity of hay, bag was
found, filled with watches, silver spoons.
&c. &c. The villains, on learning that
their booty was discovered, Immediately
fed to the woods, and were soon after
pursued but by the last accounts they
had not been overtaken. Mr.. Sergeant
on being informed of the discovery, pro-
ceeded to Ashford, where he identified
his property, and returned home on Sat
urday evening with almost every article
of which he had been robbed nearly four
weeks before, and which bad been but
slightly injured. A few watches, tea
spoons, and some gold watch chains, are
still missing.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 10.

We learn that the two insurance COM
pauies in this place have sustained loss
of more than $4,000, in consequence Of
the robbery Of 72 slaves out of vessel
from the Chesapeake, by q piratical boat
of the Berry islands. This is only sol
litary example of the injury inflicted on
the commerce Of New Orleans by the nu-
merous picaroons which swarm in the
Gulf of Mexico, the West-India seas, and
along the Atlantic shore of Florida. 1t
has lately been ascertained, that there is
band at Glavezton, which exists by pi-
tracy and smuggling. One of their cruz
sers, commanded by Lamaison, was
brought into the river few days since
by the Firebrand; at the same time an
open boat, with the acted Peter Laftte
on board, was brought in by sailing mas
ter Quin, in 4 boat of the ketch Surprise,
1t has been reported that the banditti, who
robbed the slaves above mentioned, have
been caught and carried into HAVANA
II this reportbe true, we are exceedingly
glad of it. But we are inclined 10 receive
il with distrust. We suspect that it has
been put in circulation for the purpose Of
iuiling the vigilance of the officers who
have been sent in pursuit of them by
commodore Patterson.
Whilst the singular activity Of the ma
val officers op this station in pursuing and
capturing these marauders, entities them
to the respect and gratitude of the com
munity, it is lamentable that their means
are Inadequate to afford complete pFotec-
ton to the coast. To accomplish that
object would require the naval force at
present belonging TO this station to be more
than doubled,t With half dozen small,
fast sailing schooners at the disposition OF
Commodore Patterson, it is not hazardiag
much to say, that in two months the hiding
places Of these banditti wouid be broken
up, their vessels taken or driven away,
and the navigation between New Orleans
and the Atlantic ports become as safe as
it ought to be, and as it is the imperious
duty Of the general government to rem.
der it.
