, DARING PIRACiES |!

Capt. Saunders who arrived yesterday
from New Orleans. informs that the schnr
Planter. Dennison (of Portland, arrived
at the Balize 2ist Dec. in l3 days from
ST. Thomas, from whom he received the
following inteiligence:--On the 10Th Dec.
of Cape Antonio the Planter was boarded
by two piratical schooners OF l5 or %
tons each, who plundered all the money
on board, amounting to 800 CT $50 dol.
lars, 33 bags OF coffee, 40 boxes of cider,
and all the captain and mates clothing
and chests, and logged the captain very
severely to make him tell where there
was more money concealed. The same
piratical vessels had captured the ship
Liverpool Packet of Portsmouth, IN. H.l
Capt. Kicker, from Rio Janeiro bound to
Havana, and robbed her Of $4,000 dol
laTs-they also took from The ship boy
of whom they had made kind of servant,
bot on falling in with the schooner Plan
ter they put BIN on board of her. When
the planter hove in sight around the Cape,
the pirates were then in the act of plum
dering the ship, and on seeing the schnr.
cut her the ship's) cables and let her go,
having previously put on board of her the
crew OF the British brig Alexander Of
Greenock, which they had captured few
days before, and after putting to death
the captain and steward, burnt the vessel

produce the re ign Of wise and reasona-
Bile policy and will cause those govern
ments to feel the necessity Of acknow-
lodging the independence of the Queen
offhe antilles.
Desirious of being elevated to the
rank of civilized nations, and believing
that the surest means Of accomplishing
that object is to establish mutual relations
with other nations, and to favor ali which
can contribute to the development OF hu-
man faculties, the Haytiens will always
be disposed to listen to every PROPOSE
ton, officially made, or from individu-
ais, which may be made to them with
the view of useful relations. AT the same
time that they desire to establish good
understanding with States which may
have commercial relations with them,
they think, that before making any d.
plomatic communication, tending to
bring around this happy state OF affairs,
itwould be proper that they should know
what are the dispositions OF these 60
vernments towards them, and in what
manner step taken with this view would
be received.
AS to what concerns particularly the
government of the United States,
am willing to believe that the obstacles
which, until now, have prevented il from
pronouhcing itself in favor of the indie
pendence Of the Republic of Hayti, will
disappear from the moment it shall
yield weaker considerations TO the honor
Of rendering brilliant homage to the
principles to which il is indebted for its
political existence.
The friends OF liberty in the United
States who interest themselves particu-
larly in the fate of the Haytiens, may by
continuing to exercise happy influence
upon the public opinion, by their wri-
lings, ascertain the intentions OF their
government as 10 what concerns the ao-
acknowledgement of the independence Of
Hayti.
&C As to you, Sir, who are animated
by so noble zeal for every thing which
can contribute to the happiness Of man
kind, and who have so well proved the
lively interest which you take in the
cause of The Haytiens, by the useful aud
iudicious observations which you have
addressed, to me, receive, with my thanks
for the good dispositions which you en-
terrain towards US, the assurance of my
distinguished consideration.

he denies, has ken exercised with eve
~ administration, from the commence
ment of the government till the present
time. We have had the curiosity TO
look over the presidents, since the be-
ginning of Mr.. Jefferson's administra-
ton, and we find that, out Of t7venty four
commissioners to hold treaties with the
Indians, EIGHTEEN have been appointed
in the recess, one of which was COM
missioner 10 treat with the Creek In
dians, which terminated in treaty, &C
curing for the state OF Georgia, most
valuable accession of territory, and in
demnity for a large amount OF claims
which the citizens of that state had held
apains, that tribe between thirty and for
ty years. But what, we doubt not will
have far greater weight with the writer,
is the fact that, during the period that
MIR. Crawford was in the War De-
partmenl, period not much exceeding
year, fue commissioners were Civ
en- to hold treaties with the Indians, II
of the commissioners under which were
appointed in the recess of the senate.
Nor can he sci up as distinction, that
there was no appropriation to hold these
treaties. If it be unconstitutional to APP
point in the recess, the absence Of the APP
preparation only aggrayates the violation,
by adding to it the expenditure OF very
considerable sums of money, without
any express appropriation to justify it.
We will conclude with remark or
two on the attempt, on the part OF the
writer, to draw distinction between
the Secretaries ard the President, and TO
hold the former, and not the latter, re-
sponsible for what he ciuses to consider
as unconstitutional appointments. His
object in making the distinction, is per-
fectly obvious, and is such as to do him
little credit. 1t is not to spare the Pre-
sidcnt, but to impair the standing of one
of his constitutional advisers, who has
been faithful to his administration. To
effect this, he attempts to introduce the
British doctrine of the responsibility OF
nj ministers; doctrine contrary to The
letter and spirit of our constitution;
while he holds up the President, whom
he pretends to spare, in the degrading
light of a mere .automatcn, to be moved
at the pleasure Of the Secretaries. 1t
may suit this writer, and those with
whom he acts, BY such Representations,
10 attempt to weaken the confidence OF
the country in the present wise and vir-
Gus Chief Magistrate, but they viii! fad
not little difficulty in persuading The
people, that a public servant, who hiss,
during the entire period Of the existence
of our government, sustained SO impor
tant a part, and performed such arduous
and eventful duties, lacks either wisdom,
virtue and 6rmness. 1t is FAR more pro-
bable that his delractors will sink under
the odum of this false accusation.

BY the arrival Of the fast sailing ship

we have received from our attentive cor
respondent, Paris papers to the 18th of
July under which date our correspon-
dent says, that fresh attempts are con-
stant!y making to overturn the Cortes

bait lie had been fought between the Goa
sti,utionalists, who had shut themselves
up in church and defended themselves
for ten hours, and the insurgents num-
bers were Killed on both sides. The in
surgents were defeated and fed to the
mountains, where large bodies of Insur-

We are indebted 10 Captain Brit,on,

The Liverpool report of the mark ct,

the saieh for the week having amounted
TO 1900 bags. The public sales on the
18th were we'll attended, and included
1000 Sea Islands, al an average of l34d.

OF sugar are now permitted to refine
them at home, with permission to export
them direct to the continent. The ex-
else duty on molasses is TO be reduced

The advices from Madrid state tha. on
the 7th July the guards from the Pardo
recommended the city, with view of
forming junction with their brethren in
the palace, or of getting possession OF
the kings person. On the 9TH they at
tackled the city in three divisions, two oil
which were discounted, almost imme-
diately; the third, which was directed to-
wards the great square, was encountered
by the national militia, and; after some
hard fighting, compelled to retire. II.
In the mean time, several demonstra-
tons were made about the palace. Mo-
rillo seized the royal stables. At this
period great CONSERVATION prevailed in
Madrid, and the, confusion is likencd to
that which prevailed in Paris on the
famous 10th Of August. Finally, it is
said, deputation from the Cortes insist
ed that the king should dismiss the two
remaining divisions Of bis guards, under
certain stipulations, and put himself un-
der the protection of the regular troops.
Ferdinand acquiesced, the guards were
dismissed, and he was completely in the
hands Of the Cons,itu,ionalisls.

the Cortes were engaged in long and
vehement debates on the affairs Of Brazil.

REPUBLIC OF HAYTI.

dodge, at North Salem, Massachusetts.
GA, Port-Au-P Prince, 10th August, ,
1921, l9thyear OF Independence. 5
81 have received, Sir, the letter of the
9th of April last, which you have been
pleased to address to me. l have read
i, with all the attention it merits, and all
the interest which the sentiments it in

which you have formed of seeing your

For the interests Of humanity and Of ma
tional morality, it should be wished that
the rights Of the people might be recog-
nized throughout all the civilized world,
and that relations, reciprocaliy advan-
tageous, might be established between
States destined to change the products
Of their soil. Considered in this pol.
and view, it canno. be denied that Hayu

From the same.

DEVELOPMENT OF OPPOSITION,
The opposition which, with SO much
art, has been forming against the present
administration, almost from its COM
mencement, has obtained so much sys-
TEN that whenever it is about to make
knows where TO look for its first indica-
tons. If he suspect an attack upon The
administration, he will not fail to direct
his eyes towards the columns OF the
Georgia papers, with the expectation
of finding in those opposed to the State
government, its earliest developments.
In one of the leading papers Of thai
state, the FIRST open and systematic at
tack was made by the" THO" against
the administration OF the General Co
verpment, in series OF numbers, in
which may be found nearly all the
charges, which, without any foundation,
have been since with SO much industry,
reiterated. From certain new symp-
toms that have exhibited themselves in
the same quarter, we infer, that the OBJ
ject Of the next attempt is to continue
and widen the difference between the
Executive and the Senate, with regard
RIO nominations. Calculating on the
propable effects which the difference
between those two branches Of the 60
vcrnment last winter, on the military
nominations, might produce on the mind
Of some of the senator's, these promo.
tiers of opposition stand ready with their
good Offices to widen the breach. They
profess to be the guardians of the rights
Of the senate; and in that selfassume
character, they take upon themselves to
direct that body, when and where they
are to oppose the executive. In fur
therance of theii views, and under the
pretext of supporting that important
and respectable branch of the legisla-
ture, the practice of the government, as
settled and acted on from the commence
ment, is to be disturbed. We have been
urged to these reflections by an article
in the Augusta Chronicle, of the 5th
inst. in which the power of the Execu-
tive TO appoint commissioners to treat
with the Indians, in the recess of the Sc
nate, is denied and the exercise OF
which right in the appointment Of COM
missioners to treat with the Cherokee In
dams, is pronounced to be manifest
encroachment on the rights Of the senate.
Judging, from the temper Of the lie,
that another object was much more pro-
minent in the mind Of the writer than
the Constitution, it will be a sufficient
answer to observe, that the power which

! the Constant ana iaOoflouS aucnlon Oh
the present administration, as the pre-
ceding statement has shewn, the reduc-
| ton OF the balances has been very rapid /;
and we have no reason TO doubt, they
will in short time, be diminished TO a
very uncomfortable amount But to
this administration belongs not only the
praise OF this ehectual reduction, but
the still higher credit of having intro
duced more perfect organization and
accountability; by which future aug
mentation will be prevented. 1t may in
fact be safely asserted, that few mercan-
tile concerns are managed with more
economy, or less proportional loss, than
are, at present, the affairs of this great
republic. In pursuit of this great OBJ
jcct; which began TO claim the attention
of The government during the late war,
it became necessary to re-organse the
Navy and the War Departments, through
which the principal disbursements OF the
government are made. The re-organi-
cation of the former was effected by the
act of the 7th Of February, 1915, crea-
ting Navy Board, during Mr.. -Madi
sons administration ;--ot the latter, by
the act of the 18th of April, 1878, which
was recommended by, and carried into
operation under the present administra-
lion of the War Department. The eI-
fects of a more efficient org anlzation have
been very striking; particularly in the
War Department, where the previous
arrangement, and The multiplicity OF
the heads of disbursements, have made
its operations more conspicuous. A
full and detailed exhibit of its bene-
fetal effects is contained in report o!
the War Department to the House OF
Representatives, Oh the LIST of March
last Ii will be sufficient to state that
under its operations, enforced by vigil
lent administration of the department,
the expenses Of the army, including the
military academy, had been reduced, af
ter allowing for the dimlnution of the
prices of the various articles which con-
sttute the supply of,he army, and for its
reduced number, from 1864, los 30
100, to S2,355,278 98-lo0; an actual
saving in this one branch of the govern
ment, of Sl,2l0,S2l 32-loO, and from
S45l 57-loo per man. (lncluding the Of
livers) to $751; O2-lOO, or a saving oil
Sl64 55-loo per annum, per man. 1t is
worthy of remark, that the leaders of the
opposition, who have made this unbound
cd charge against the administration, OF
extravaganza and neglect in the public
disbursements, have spared no efforts to
destroy the system by which these high
ly beneficial results have been obtained
which clearly establishes the fact that
their zeal for retrenchment is without
due intelligence, or is subordinate to
the love of popularity. A thorough
politician of the opposition school would
rather lop off $1,000 by reducing sala-
ries, or by dispensing with officers whose
services are useful to the public, than
save ten tines that amount by judicious
arrangem ents and, in the spirit of real
extravaganza, he is at all times willing
to sacrifice the latter to the former.
