men were exhausted with fatigue ami
could proceed no further; and consider.
ling the advantage the Williams possessed
of an open country, and being well mount
ed, it was deemed impossible to capture
them in any way but by stratagem. Lieut..
F. remained on the Key several days ana
attempted to capture or destroy them py
every expetient in his power but without
success. At length the provisions found
at the huts being consumed, and IT, ofii'
GERS and men completely exhausted with
hunger and fatigue, he was compelled to
leave them and proceeded to Guanalia for
provisions. On arriving there he received
information that the Williams he had lett,
had escaped in fishing boats on the north
end of the island that they were twenty
in number, and were new gang, formed
under the notorious pirate Antonio, com
monty called FL Majorcan that they had
assembled in boats from different places,
for the purpose of capturing Spanish fe-
lucca then in Cuanaha, which they inten-
died to fit out as a cruizer. and which they
would have effected but for their timely
dispersion by the barges. A severe gale
of wind setting in about this time and last
ing several days, Lieut.. +. was under the
necessity of abandoning all hopes Of their
capture, and as his cruise had expired. OF

Trade to China.-The first vessel that
was fitted out by the inhabitants OF the
United States to- China, was 500 tons bur-
then. commanded by John Green, and e.
quipped with As persons, She sailed from
Nov York on the aad Of February, 1854,
and arrived on the 2lst of March at st.
Jago, one of the Cape de Verd Islands.
She left the Cape de Verd Islands on the
eth of March, and arrived in the Straits
of Sunda on the 18th of July, where she
met two ships belonging to France, and
received friendly invitation to accompa-
ny them. which was accepted, they being
bound to Canton. The American vessel
received every facility from the French
commanders, who furnished her with their
signals by day and night, aud gave such
instructions for the passage through the
China Seas, as would have been beneficial
to the American ship had any circumstance
occurred to separate tine vessels. The
American ship arrived at Canton on the
5Oth of August, and ssluted the shipping
lin the river with l3 guns, which was an
swered by the commoderes of the several
European vessels, each OF whom sent an
officer to compliment her arrival. The
Chinese merchants and chiefs visited the
ship for tree days. they styled the Ame-
ricans the .Ne'p People, and when by the
map an idea of the extent OF the United
States was given, they were pleased al
the prospect of so large market for thell

Iday, there i'll be found short account of tn
Theatrical pieces composed and acted in honou
of the Kings fete. The subject is not worth re
curing TO for any other purpose than to mention
=. that the public have properly appreciated tles
lIloyal and warlke etiusions. The lowest of III
,Ipopulace who cannot easily pay for such enter
!, ltainments, crowded the theatres on Sunday whe
they were first represented because they cou,
see them gratis Last night they were .ain re
presented to paying audience, and their recep
Ition was s,rkingly different. Instead OF ben
,crowded, the different theatres almost deserted
instead Of applause, there prevailed kind OF sui
Hen silence; and it the warm weather and ultra
poetry continue for week, the calsscs of the dii
} teren, establishments will be emptied, and tn
: performers exposed TO greater danger OF famin
than were the garrisons of any OF the fortified
i places in Spain.
