THE PIRATES.

a letter has appeared in several papers dated
from the U. S. ship Decoy, of Havana, April l.
which mentions that the crew of III. h. NJ frig-
ate Hyperion were instrumental in capturing
the pirates who had escaped from the La CdtG,
taken by the Grecian armed cutter.
We have good authority for saying that the
Hyperion was on the other side of the island Of
Cuba, and the story Of course, respecting the
" captain in his gig" has no foundation in fact.
There were twenty or thirty horses on shore
ready f1r tie pirates, most Of which were mount
ed BY the British tdrs, who pursued the Williams
into the woods. Among the pirates were two
Americans, one Of whom being wounded and I'M
able 10 escape, in a fit OF desperation ran his
sword through is heart, and the other, to avoid
tLe fate which t1.nended over him, cut his throat

Is something plausible IN this mode of consider
ing the subject, but it shuts out of view all re-
gard to the principle on which the crusade
against Spain is avowedly undertaken. Great
Britain has a deeper concern in the subject than
any other European nation, her government
being more free, elective, and representative,
than that Of any other country in THAT quarter Q!

ance cannot tolerate the imperfect systems OF

tive provisions, how can they brook the far supe-

IS enjoyed ia the fullest degree in tie British Par
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS are brought forF ard, discus

liability to interruption from any quarter, eNter-
nal or internal-the houses possess each mega
tive upon every legislative proposition, and it is
only after an act has been established by major
ity Of both, that the Sovereign has any direct
voice in IL, and then it is only Of approval or
disapproVal. Besides, the press is SO unshackied
in Great Britain, that all political measures pass
in review through that great medium Of nforna-
ton. How, if the Holy Aiiiance could couyen-
iently get at them, could the British expect 10
escape the dictatorial Controul Of this august
body ?-Thcir government Is f4T too free, and

TN the absence or recs, present our readers
with the following well written essay the introduce
ton Of Slavery into Illinois, by the editor Of the Con-
neccut Herald. 1t is worthy an attentive perusal.
There Il al alarm III the West. The citizens
Of the Northern States may again be called up
on to renew the Missouri question. The people
Of Illinois are said ID be aiming at an introduce
ton of Slavery within their borders. The Ohio,
which was laid down BY Congress, in its orli-
nance of '37, as the limit beyond which the curse
OF slavery shall not pass is about to be violated ;
ard tie base sellshness of landholders and spec
uators is about to carry that curse across its sac
red waters for sacred they should be 10 every
citizen who wishes to see our northern section
uncontaminated, and who is determined that the
balance shall not incline TO The southern side,
without an effort 20 prevent I. We have no IN
kind feelings towards the southern section, as a
section we know ii IS the home of many vir-
tues which might here be initiated; but We can
not reconcile ourselves to slavery. 7" Disguise
il as you will, it Is bitter draught" and if pos
sbe, worse to tie holders than TO the slaves
themselves. II is an evil entailed on the pres
cnt generation by their foretathcrs; and while
we see them anxious to abridge rather than 10
extend the evil, we regard them with more Of
sorrow than Of anger. But these attempts in
Illinois are ominous Of dreadful result. We
look with fearful forebodng at the termination
of a course which begins with such disregard
of all order, and such contempt OF all just leg
islation. We have seen the representatives Of
tie people in the hall Of legislation, first give to
one candidate a disputed seat, and then, because
he did not suit their purposes, and vote as they
wished him TO vote, we have seen him most IN
tremendously set aside, and the opposite candi-
date hosted into his place, because, torsooth, he
was ready to comply with all the wishes Of the
majority. In anticipation Of this result, there
has been the cry OK Convsntion or Death :" in
the streets of their capital their state-housc has
been converted into jacobin club, where the
representatives and lobby members have been
crowded together, all vocilerating against the

The most important intelligence brought by
this vessel IT, that hostilitcs had not commenced
between France nd Spain There appears tO
have been the same show Of preparation, the
same engagedness to begin the war at some lime
or other, but no beninnng. Tie French army
had not III the latest adYices entered Spain. By
an article in tie Courier Of the 22d taken from

-" Almost tie whole Of tie Duke Of Angou-

his Maiestys government had previously cher
ished, Vas, II not totally cxeaguishcd, at least
very remote, recediDg fast from view" The
editor Of The Confer adds II is remarkable
that Lord Liverpool did not say a word respect
ing the possibility Of this country keeping out Of
the contest

much Of the hustle Of preparation III France,
which certainly under different circumstances
would satisfy any body that war va, inevitable.
