FROM A JAMAICA PAPER.

Arrived brig Gustavus from Terre Fer
me. She was obliged to cut both her Ca
bles and proceed to sea. in consequence
of the Indians rising on them, and attempt
ing to take the vessel. While her boat was
on shore, receiving the cargo, number OF
Indians came down on the beach, and en-.
deayored to take possession of her; at the
same time several other canoes, laden with
grass, in which they had hid their muskets
and bows and arrows, approached The brig.
and. when within reach Other, commenced
an attack upon her; but from the prompt
exertions of the mate and crew in inme-
diately repelling them. they made for the
shore. and some of the Indians, who had
got on board, jumped overheard. The
host by this time had made its escape, and
reached the brig in safety. We are sorry
to sta,e, that, during the skirmish. the mate,
in loading one of the great guns, bad his
arm so severely shatteredsas to require am
putation. Had it not been tor his prompt
exertions in getting the FIRE arms ready, the
whole of the crew would certainly have
been murdered, and the vessel destroyed.

THE MEDITERRANEAN SQUADRON.


We have already stated, that the Empe-
ror of Austria and the King of Naples, had
visited the American ship Franklin, while
our squadron was lying in the bay Of Ma
pies. Capt. Sawyer, of the brig Adfatic
who has arrived at Boston, from Trieste
and Gibraltar, gives the following account
Of the Royal and Noble guests who have
visited that ship: "The Franklin was Vi.
sited while in Naples by great many of
the Italian and English nobility. May 18th
the Emperor and Empress Of Austria, King
Of Naples, Prince Leopold and Wife, with
agreat number Of ladies and gentlemen Of
both courts, visited the franklin; they
were received by two royal salutes, yards
manned by the whole squadron. and the
British ship Of the line Rochfort. They
expressed great satisfaction. The Empe-
ror promised TO return some ether day by
himself, and look through the ship more at
his leisure. Among the English nobility
that visited the ship was Admirals Sir Sid
ney Smith, Hotham, Freemantle, and Sir
Phillip Durhsm-they made frequent visits
always bringing number of ladies with
them. The 2lst the Prince Of Prussia vi
sited the ship-he came as citizen. wish.
ing no parade. The 26th May, the Vice
Roy of Sicily visited the ship was saluted
with 81 guns, going and coming. The
next day the King OF Naples wife came on

MORE pIRAcY-ANp MURDER -!

OtNcH rIeu "eIe dPPic"e"''S' 10 49, " I
ty on Wednesday night last.7under bench
warrant from the Hon., Judge Drayton, and
committed to goal, charged with Piracy
and Murder! Several more of the gang
are now lurking about our city. and the pc
lice are>making diligeDt search for them
One OF the prisoners, named Reed, turned
states evidence. and yesterday gave apar-
tial Statement, of their nefarious and bloc
dy transactions, before Mr.. Parker. dis
trict attorney.
1t appears that these men, or most OF
them. belonged to the smack Lawrence,
Capt. Attwck, the property OF Mr.. ), >.
Daniels, of this city, which vessel arrived
here on the 18th instant, ostensibly from
wrecking cruize off the Florida coast,
with cargo of coffee, in bulk. On his ar
rival, Capt. A. reported, that on the
18th inst. near Mosquito, he fell in with
schooner, not having single person on
board that he took out load of coffee in
bulk, and proceeded to this place."
From the declarations of Reed however,
as far as obtained, It appears thai the loop
was sent by the owner, from Havana,
I where he now is to the Florida coast, 10
cut wood. She there met with small pi-
ratical sloop, the capt. AMI crew of which
affected to believe that Capt Attwick had
brought money TO purchase cargo, which
the latter Misunderstanding that he had but
seven dollars. This was taken from him,
and he hung up for some time in the shrouds
to make him confess. After being convin-
ced that he had no money, the piratical
captain proposed TO A'twick and'his crew
to Join him in piratical Cruize: After
consulting his men. they agreed, with the
exception Of the above named Reed. He
being Indirectly threatened in case of non
compliance. at length acceded, as he de-
clares, to save his lite Both sloops then
sailed in company, and soon after, on the
Florida coast. they fell in with the British
brig Ann, Capt. Seelev. from Matsnzas,
bound to Falmouth, (Eng.) in distress.
which they boarded and ran ashore. The
briggs crew consisted of ten, including Off
GERS. Six of her men joined the pirates,
and then informed the captain of the gang,
that the captain and mate of the brig could
not be trusted. Immediately after, they.
with the cook and one man, who had re-
fused TO join the pirates, were inhumanly
murdered and thrown overboard!! Both
sloops were then loaded with coffee, as a.
hove described, g. the story made up that
was told here, previous to their leaving
The brig.
1t is believed the foregoing statement is
substantially correct; and we hope in our
next to give further development of this
horrid and abominable transaction. In
deed, We are in possession Of further parti-
culars, which il is deemed ipjudicious at
present to make public. We sincerely
hope that every viriuous citizen will exert
his energies to bring to the gallo"s, gang
of cut throat villains, who are the disgrace
Of humanity. "

To which we may add the name of the
venerable CHARLES THOMPSON, of Penn
sylvania, who sigaed the declaration ofin-
dependence as secretary to congress, and
which office he held during the whole re-
voIution, and until the organization of the
present government"
What train of reflection is excited by
the perusal Of this fact. Five out of the
6ity-six patriots, who witnessed the birth
of our national Independence, are still liv-
ing. Compare this f.ct with another, that
the emperor of Austria has recently dined
on board of an American ship of war, and
to what bewildering sensations does it
le ,d what an advance of national great
ness IN the short perioi OF forty-three
years. During that term Of time this ma.
ton has shewn to the world the only exam
pie OF republic remaining on the surface
of the globe on which we tread. Kings y
emperors have bowed in homage to the
American character, and five Of those who
watched over the cradle of the young Her.
cuIes, are still living witnesses OF the fact |!
And is there heart so cold and SO dead /,
that does not throb with anxiety tor the
preservation Of republic, whose early
auspices have been so glorious and so res
plendent. Does not the single tact we
have mentioned, justify the fondest anti
cipat;ons on our part, that our nation is in
deed born to high destinies. Could the
curtain of futurty have been Withdrawn
from the eyes Of those patriots Who signed
the declaration Of independence, with
what confidence would they have added
the sanction Of their names They were
cheered by no such animating spectacle
all before their eyes was cloud, and dark
ness, and storm.
We mentiou this fact not for the purpose
of idle defamation, but as evidence that
our country men should not despond under
the pressure Of temporary difficulties

Plan contained 10 Mr.. Kings bill brought
into and passed by the Senate at the last
session of Congress. The following arti-
Gle, taken from the Petersburg IVA. In

relating to the same subject. By the state
mems here made, it appears, that there

Thatsome radical change in the mode OF
disposing of these lands is indispensably
requisite, we think cannot be doubted
We consider it far better for the nation
that no sales should be made for years to
come, than that this rainous and speculat-
ing system Of selling them on credit should
