Our readers will see with pleasure by the follow.
ing extract that by the active and udicious exercise
OF the small force under the command of Commo-
dorc PORTER, and by greater power, the terror
of his name and presence--the freebooters of the
West India seas have been already driven from the
water to pei pelrate their robberies and murders on
the land The evil has therefore been brought
home to the authorities and Inhabitants on the Islam
who had heretofore tolerated if they did not collude
with, these enemies OF the human race and those
who had no heart to feel for, and no arm to avenge
the wrongs of others, have been forced to feel at las
when even brutes will not refuse to actin self-de-
fence. Such is the confidence inspired by PoRrER's
character that insurance on vessels to Havana is
already reduced TO almost nothing verifying the
trlte saying, that true economy consists in the
timely and ludicious expenditure Of money.-.am.

From the N. Y. Commercial AdOertiser,
INSOLvENT DEBTORS TO THE
UNITED STATES.

A question of considerable interest,
especislly,t to insolveut debtors to the
United States, as we'll as to the Mar
shals of the different districts in the
Union, has lately been argued and de-
cided in the United States District
Court for this district. The case has
been stated to US as follows:-A citi-
zen ofth;s city, who owed the govern.
ment about sixty thousand dollars, be.
came insolvent, vas sued, and imPri
soned oil an execution. lie obtained a
discharge from the Secretary of the
Treasury which released his body from
imprisonment on payment Of costs
When the costs were to be paid, the
Marshal charged the same fees as tho
the execution had actually been levied
on property, the property sold, and mo-
ney paid over TO the government. The
sum demanded by the. Marshal was be.
tween seven and eight hundred dollars.
A motion was made in the District
Court for the release of the prisoner ,
and the question Of the Legality Of the
Marshal's fees, argued at great length
by l.. Wells and c. G. Hsines, Esq.
for the prisoner; and by T. A. Emmett
and o. Hoffman. Esqrs. for the Mar.
shal. The counsel for the prisoner
contended, among other things, that no
law Of Congress allowed the charge,
and that no Law of Congress put tho
,larshals under the statutes of this
. ate. On the other hand, the counsel
for the Marsial soutended, that the
Marskals Of the different districts stood
on the same grounds as the sheriffs Of
the different states; and as the She.
riffs Of New York were entitled to such

that the motion must DE denied. His
Honor, Judge Van Ness took time tor
his, opiuion. and the prisoner in the
meantime was discharged by consent

That decision has been made in behalf
Of tho Marshal, and weunderstand that
Judge Van Ness is preparing en- elHbo-
