A singular aehiev enent OF the brig
6ru,us is described in letter from
Capt. Lewis to his owner 10 New York
in the following extract. The Bruins
.yas not armed, aud had a crew OF only
10 men, but had on board some cannon
for Com. Porter's squadron. which she
made a successful use of, al. though she
was without poWder:
"Thompson's Island, Key Vest,
Feb. 22d.
Son The 10th instant, put into Key
Yacas for the waller, having been short
Cor several days. A few hours after
/ came to, a Spanish po!acre brig came
IL with 20 men on board to inquire
where she came from. The first man
saw was me of my former crew in
the brig Harmony, This excited my
suspicious; aad | returned on board The
Brutus, mounted two IL Founders, got
a spring on the cable, aud hailed the
Spanish brig, then about rs yards from
US, to send her boat with the captain
nnd papers an board. After some de-
lay, the enptain, two other officers,
with four men, came On board. in
CURED for their commission, but they
had none. then asked for their 9th =
papers, Of any kind, but they had none
except journal which had been kept
for three az four days. SCI detsin the
efIicer. aud men 90 board the BFatus,
and sent to examine their vessel. Eve
ry thiog on board appeared to have
been stolen. therefore determined to
bring her to Key West, for the inspec
lion Of Com. Porter. She arrived here
with me this day. Com. Patterson,
who i. now here, surveying, approves
# my conduct, and assure, me Com.
Porter will do the same. The brig has
on hoard four, butter, lard, rice silks,
iri-h linen, wine, brandy, and some
Spanish cedar.
Yours respectfully,

is. that, owipS to fear that she would
be rather crank, she has not sail er

MES, occasionally exasperate the slaves
to desperation, and impel them to atroci-
ties, which difTuse general apprehension
and alarm, the same thing occurs In
Russia. s.In such instances" observes
DR.. C. larke, the " peasants take the law
into their own hands, and assassinate
4heir lords. To prevent this, the latter
live in cities, remote from their own peo-
nile, and altogether unmindful of all that
concerns their slaves, except the tribute
they are TO pay" Mr.. Birkbeck relates
the following anecdote OF planters
,..,.-.-- ave i" tavern IN Virginia,
and Dr. Clarke informs US that Russia
can supply many parallel cases. "One
gentleman" says Mr.. Birkbeck, Gin a
poor state of health, dared not encoun-
ter the rain, but was wretched at the
thoughts Of his family's being for one
night without his protection, from his
slaves. He was suffering under the eff.
fects OF poisonous potion, administered
by negro whowas hispersonal servant. !"
DR.. Clarke observes, Many Of the Rus
sian mobiles dare not venture near their
own villages, through fear of the ven-
geance they have merited by their
crimes" 1t has occurred to myself,
while in the state Of Mississippi, to hear
a well authenticated instance Of planter,
who was compelling his slaves to work
during great part of the night. having
been surprized asleep on the trunk of a
tree, on which he sat down to inspect
them, shot with his own rife, and then
burnt in the ashes of their midnight fires ;
and Mr.. Heber remarks when in Russia,
a." The brother of lady of our acquain-
tance, who had a great distillery, disap-
peared suddenly, and was pretty easily
guessed to have been thrown into boil
ing copper by his slaves" He adds,
