This ma jestic and formidable species,

the head of the whole class of Wood

be called the king or chief of his tribe:
and nature seems to have designed
him a distinguished characteristic in
the superb canine crest, and bill of DO
lished ivory, with which she has orna-
mented him. His eye is brilliant and
daring, and his whole frame so admira
bly, adapted to his mode of life, and
method of procuring subsistence, as to
impress on the minds Of the examiner.
the most reverential ideas of the Crea-
tor. His manners have also dignity
in them superior to the common nerd
of Woodpeckers. Trees, shrubbery, Or
chards, rails, fence posts. and old pros
trate logs, are alike interesting to those
in their humble and indefatigable search
for prey; but the royal hunter now be-
fore US, scorns the humility of such
situations, and seeks the most towering
trees of the forest, seeming particular.

H.vANrA-Our latest accounts from
this commercial mart do not exhibit quite
as much improvement in its Police as we
should have imagined from previous state
ments. The situation of Havana calls
loudly for some protection to the resident
as well as temporary merchant. Govern
men, in the proper sense of the term, APP
pears to be extinguished. The recent
outrage upon the Schooner Ajax, Captain
Shane. and the murders committed ny an
infuriated mob las published in the South
ern Patriot ofthe l4th, we thought at first
somewhat exaggerated. But it is with
sincere grief we have received coDtlrma-
ton of the material points of the story.
Americans receive no protection from the
constituted authorities of Havana A
gentleman was recently attacked by a
william in the garb of soldier, in open
day-alter frightening the fellow away,
he himself was imprisoned as the assailant
Upon appealing to Governor MANY. he
was told that nothing could be done! We
give this as we received it, observing only
that it is from very respectable authority.
Since the success whiLh has attended
our flag in driving pirates from the waters
OF Mexico, innumerable braves, avsrse 10
"the dull pursuits OF civil life," are con-
tentrated in Havanna-and as the seas are
dangerous to them, they commit charac-
Ter istic exploits on shore.-Our Navy has
raised their dread, and the late transfer of
the Floridas has Infatuated the lower or
ders of these Spanish Americans. What
remedy is 10 he applied, and what protec-
ton afforded the honest merchant, we
know not. TIE Cortes who have regene-
rated Spain, must spread their influence 10
some of the Colonies. Vice, and un-
regulated passions will otherwise drive
away the enterprizIng merchant. y Havan-
ma become focus for the worst OF cbarac-
tiers.
Our Government cannot, of course, in
terfere with the regulations, or rather want
of all regulations, moral, civil, or CONNER
cIal, in the colony of foreign State
But, under existing circ,, instances, The A.
merican Merchant hazards not only his
property, but his lie; and the only check
that could be given 10 the atrocious con-
duct above described, would be to have
sioop OF war laying IN the port of Havana
tor the greater part of the year. In this
proceeding the governor could have no OBJ
lection, as he disclaIms and execrates the
acts of these despeladoes, however D6rm
OF hopeless his interference may be. With.
out his Concurrence, any attempt to me-
mace the town or townsmen. would be
like an attempt to scale Heaven.
Let then be Bishop of St Jago, 1--WE be-
lieve bis residence is in or near Havsn ma
exert his sacred functions; let the governor
increase his guard, and improve their
quality; let the American consul be &C
knowledged-and let present FEAR, do |
hat which future "imaginings" cannot !

nents accompanying the Presidents Mes.
