kept from coming to blows, even on the
floor Of Congress. We are. arrived At
that pitch Of degeneracy when the mere,
lust Of power, the retention of place and
patronage, can prevail not only over O.
very consideration Of public duty, but
stihe the suggestions Of personal honor
which even the ministers ofthedecayed
governments of Europe have net yet
learnt entirely to disregard. Should
God spare me, you shall be Informed
how it has,com to pass that, after set
Ting the Florida question Ut the expense
Of vast sacrifice of territory .'scuth of

the command of the Red River and
the Arkansaw the gates OF New Or.

the embecile and puny government OF
Spain, but with young and rising and
therefore ambitious Republic.

MUNICIPAL COURT.

mO NtCtI AL WV IL
On Wednesday last. Noah James,. keep.
er OF the windmill atthe southerly part OF
the town, was tried on two tments for
larceny. The offences q against
him were, taking for his own use about
half of eight tons of Barilla brought 10
his mill TO be ground, and mixed with the
residue, an equal portion of plaster, and
purloinng in the same way from 1900 lbs
Creme Tartar & supplying the deficiency
with plaster. He was found guilty on both
indictments. An intimation having been
made by the prisoner of an intention to
claim an appeal to the Supreme Court, we
forbear to state the particulars otthe case.
A question OF law of some importance was
raised by his counsel, whether the alledg-
ed conversion of materials brought to the
prisoners mill to be ground, amounted TO
the crime OF larceny. A person named
Cole, indicted for the same offence, was
acquitted.

Extract of letter from Malaga, dated
Jan. 9.
ssThe new tariff has been received from
Madrid, by which the duties on various
foreign and domestic articles are greatly
lessened, and many prohibitions annulled.
Iron hoops, which were formerly prohibit
ed, are now admitted. Nails are still exclu'
ded, and as there are but few manutacto'
ries in Spain, and those at a distance from
US, the article is very scarce.
"The Cortes have enacted severe laws
against the abuse of the liberty OF the
press.
eve have report from Madrid that
Turkey has declared war against Russia. "

SPANISH MAIN.

BY the brig Hippomenes, capt. Bourne,
in Is days from Curacao, We have sre'
ceived papers TO the I'd ofMarch, contain.
ing the following extracts:
Carrocoa, March,.
Accounts received from Puerto CabelIo,
state that Gen. Morales left that place on
Saturday last,f the Hercules brig of war,
with about l25 men, principally officers,
and non commissioned officers, to join a
division of troops at Chichrlvichi. Sub
sequent accounts from the coast represent
that the general had landed at the above
place, and that the Hercules had sailed on
her return to Puerto Cabelo.
Gen La Tore, it is said. has been ap
pointed Governor of Porto Rico. and was
about to take his departure from Puerto
Cabello for that Island. General Morales
succeeds to the chief military command in
Venezuela.
Arrivals from St. Domingo brings ac-
counts of the whole of the slave popula-
ton of St. Domingo have been emancipa-
ted. n Nothing less could have been..expected
from the political change which so lately
took place in that territory. 1t is in per-
feet conformity with the constitution of
Hayti.
The following is an extract of letter
dated St. Pierres, Martinique. Feb. a.
Yesterday ship of the line, 3 frgates,
3 gabarras, a briggs, and schooners, hav-
ing on board 5000 men, and 50 pieces of
field artillery, sailed from this port. This
expedition is destined tor SANTANA, at which
place, it will throw up Notifications; and
will speedily be reinforced, when an at.
tempt will be made to retake Spanish San
to Domingo from the Haytisas; and in the
event OF success may probably lead to ex-
tensive operations for the overthrow OF that
sable government. Emigrants arrive dali
ly from St. Domingo. The unfortunate

slaves having been declared free by an
act OF the Hayden government: Seven
piratical vessels have been taken By the
French cruisers and sent to this island. -
The Colombian cruiser Joseta has had an
engagement with the Spanish schooner
Panchita, IN which the latter had her main
mast carried away by shot. She had
gone to Porto Rico TO repair, and take in
a cargo of cocoa for Cadz. A considera-
Bile number were killed and wounded on
both Sides
In addition to the information contained
in the above extract, we iearn from ST..
Thomas, that the French feet was seen
passing TO the north of that Island On the
I4th ult.
The Joseta. we understand, had taken
a valuable Spanish schooner, from Porto
Rico, few hours previous TO her rem
counter with the Panchita; and but from
The circumstance of the latter vessel losing
seg mast, it was the intention of her COM

LATEST FROM MANTANZAs.

By the schr, Hugh G Seymour, in 20
days from Mantanzas, we learn that mar
kets at that place, on the ed March, for
all kinds of American produce, was very
dull, and sales in consequence very slow.
We learn nothing new concerning the pl.
rates in the neghborhood of Mantanzas,
except that some of those captured lately
had been condemned to death. and would
no doubt be executed. The govern
ment seemed determined to put them
down.

My Friends-for such indeed you have
proved yourselves to be through good

on your indulgence, to whom ] have ne
yer yet appealed in vain. 1t is now
just five years since the state of my
health reluctantly compelled me to re-

own wishes) to offer my services to your
suffrages. The recurrence of a similar
calamity obliges me to retire, for while
from the field of duty, and if shall find
it impracticable to return by December
next, my resignation (already written)
will be rendered to the Governor in time
to prevent your being unrepresented in
the next session of Congress. 1t would
be offered now, but that the approach
ing close OF the session would render
recollection nugatory as to present pur.
poses. Thes state Of my affairs Gas is well
known to some of you) requires my pre-
sence at home-but self preservation i'm
perioesly enJoins suspension of all bu-
siness whatsoever: and indeed, with all
my deficiencies for the station in which
your Partially has been pleased to place
me, | have never yet postponed your in
terests to my own
Should the mild climate Of France and
the change of air restore my health, you
will again find me candidate for your
independent suffrages at the next cleo
ton (lS23.)
have an especial desire to be in that
Congress which will decide (probably
by indirection) the character of the Elk
ecutive government of the confedera-
ton for at least four years-perhaps for
eyeT:-since now, for the first time since
the institution of this government, we
have presented to the people the army
candidate for the Presidency in the per
son of him, who judging from present
appearance will receive the support of
the Bank of the United States also.
This is an union of the purse and the
sword with vengeance--one, which
ven the sagacity of Patrick Henry ne
YER anticipated, in this shape at least.
Let the people look to it; or they are lost
forever. They will fall into that gulf
which under the artificial military and
paper systems of Europe, divides Dives
from Lazarus, and grows daily and hour
ly broader; deeper, and more appalling.
To this state Of things, we are rapidly
approaching under an administration,
the head of which sits an incabuS upon

new mayor of the palace are already e~n-
tending for the succession, and their re.
