tbo't ii bis duty to impose upon the Ameri

to remove the same, aud 10 offer to then

Some time being taken 10 investigating the
circumstances Of this transaction, which
of course Com. cambridge was ignorant
of, and Gov. Don having Withdrawn the
restrictions upon the squadron, aud made
satisfactory explanations respecting the
conduct of his officers, saIutes were ex-
changed, and Com. b. went on shore and
visited the Governor.
After this the British officers who vio-
lated the restriction imposed upon the
Guerrero, by carrying a challenge on
board to Capt. Thompson and his officers,
to meet the officers Of the 64th regiment,
magoauimonsly acknowledged the impro-
priety of their conduct and made satisiac-
tory apologies TO the Americans. Thus
ended the second Pune war, and, like the
first, to the honor Of the American militia
nv character. Indeed we are assured that
the honorable conduct Of the officers Of
fhe Guerrero, on this occasion, was the
theme Of panegyric even amongst the Eng
lishmen at Gibraltar. Governor Don had
been instructed BY bis government to bring
the offending officers Of the garrison to a
court martial. and TO inform Commodore
cambridge Of his desire TO do SO, but upon
application to Capt. Thompson and his
officers, for statement oil facts, relative
TO their visit on board the Guerrero, they
declined making any report whatever on
the subject. We learn moreover, that the
British government we're not we'll pleased
with the governor for adopting SO harsh
measure against our squadron on SO

Com. cambridge, in his negotiations with
the governor upon the subject, maintained
the honor of his officers aud the dignity
Of his country, with the independence and
firmness of his character and station.
1t is much to be rejoiced at that this
unpleasant affair has terminated thus ami
cably and satisfactorily; aud If we are not
deceived in our Judgment Of human ma
tnre, it will be the foundation of more
friendly regard on the part Of the British
officers towards those Of our Navy 90 that

To pursuance Of the Governors procla-
nation the Tennessee legislature convened
on the goth uIt. The governor sent in his
message the same day, strongly recon-
mending the passage Of law, requiring
property TO be received on valuation in
payment of executions, and also the issu-
ing of treasury certificates founded on
the revenue, aud proceeds Of sales of the
public lands Of the state. The senate in
mediately came to resolution, disGppro-
ving his exceIlency's recommendations
saying it was inexpedient, as well to pre-
vent, or postpone the collection Of debts,
as 10 prevent the sale Of a debtors pro-
perry, unless it shall sell for a certain
proportion Of valuation--so the extra
session Of the Tennessee legislature has
been called to no purpose.

chored off our bar last evening. She is
from cruise on the coast OF Africa, and
last from Havana, in days passage.
This morning her commander with few
of his officers, came up to town 10 one OF
the pilot boats. On the 28tb ult. off the
Isle OF Pines, spoke the United States
schooner Lynx, Capt. Madison, on a
cruize, and was informed that Piratical
vessel had robbed British ship, (ihe
Venelia, of London) on the coast, of her
boat, hogshead Of sugar, and some other
articles. This information was obtained
soon after the Tartar had spoken the
Piratical ship, or her capture would have
been inevitable, had the robbery been
known. We are informed that every in
dividual, with their servants, despatched
by the United States government in the
ship Elizabeth, to the Colony on The
Coast of Africa, had died. The spot Sc
lected is considered as the most unhealthy
on the coast. Left at Havana. the United
States brig Enterprise, Captain Kearney,

sailed IN about 10 days for this port.

WE have no authentic copy OF this m, s.:

liberty none, least, on which the eye OF

ton. Why have we not
The English nation, still proud OF their
MAGMA CHARTA, though every provi-
sion it contains has been trampled upon by
the bold ambition oftheir rulers, have pub
lished edition after edition of this instrument,
each more splendid than its predecessor.
Sir William Blackstone has collated and
commented on this fine copy OF Magma
Charta has been excelled by later specimens
of art, and the fac-similes of the seals and
signatur eshave made every reader OF taste
in Great Britain acquainted, in some de-
gree, not merely with the state OF knowledge
and of art at the period in question, but with
the literary attainments, also, OF King John,
King Henry, and their Barons bold
Surely the Declaration of American lnde-
pendence is, at least, as we'll entitled to the
decorations of art as the Magma Charta 81

natures of the patriots who signed it were
published in America, itwould serve to gra-
tify curiosity, at least as laudabie as that
which calls for limitations of the correspon-
dents of Junius or of the aris,ocracy that
wrested the English Charter from the reluc-
tant monarchs OF the day.
We are firmly persuaded that the more
the principles of our Declaration OF lndepen-
dence are spread out before the eyes OF the
world, the more they will be admired, by
foreign nations as well as our own and, eve
! ry innocent and honest deyice that may serve
to attract attention toward them, will serve,

towards the subject Such an edition will
serve 10 place il continually under the eye

| viii associate the pleasurable ideas OF ele-
gance and ornament with the history OF the
transaction itseli-and- famiiarize those
principles which form, or ought to form, the
