in company the Spanish armed briggs
so de Mage, Estre'ia, and San Pedro.
These vessels were of convoy from
Havana bound to Spain, and are deep
ly laden with colonial produce and CO.
chinel, indigo, &c.-cargoes, exclusive
of specie, valued at $e50,OOO. BY a
late decree of the Colombian govern
ment, the duty on prize goods had been
augmented to abou' As per cent--but,
in consequence of the gallantfy display
ed by Capt Chase in the capture Of
these vessels and of the services hither-
to rendered by him, the government had
determined on admitting these cargoes
on the same footing as formerly, make
ing difference of $4,000 to Captain
Chase.
We understand these vessels are oil

CRIMINAL COURT-Last wee

ALNAlh WV LxdSt Vtek
Judge Brockenbrough held an extra
term for the trial of criminal causes for
this county.-Eidridge Bridgwater,
George Dixon and Joseph Jones, three
free men of color were found guilty,
and under the law were adiudged to be
sold as staces and transported beyond
the limits of the U. :. One of these
was for larceny; the End for larceny and
burglary; the 3d. for rape upon the
body of free girl of colour In the
name ofthe humanity, we repeat our
protest against this barbarous law.
Matilda Jones, free woman Of CO.
lour, was convicted of petit lart eny,
and sentenced to 5 months imprison-
ment in the county Jail, &c. William
Kemp was convicted of like offence,
and sentenced to a similar punishment.
VIM. Adams was convicted of misde-
meanor in keeping and exhibiting ia
ro-table. lie wished to address the iu-
ry, in order to prove that the law, sub
jecting to imprisonment and stripes for
this offence, is contrary to the Bill of
Rights. TIE Court declined his appli--
cation. He was sentenced to 8 months
imprisonment in the county gail, and
to 0 stripes.
Four other cases were disposed of,
but the one which excited the deepest
interest and longest discussion, came
on Friday. 1t was TIE strange case Of
Macon Green of this City, for misde-
meanor consisting in the attempt TO
blow up, by means of a little box, fixed
with gunpowder and two lighted cam
dies, James Lyons Ia contractor on the
James River canal;) G. was actuated
by spirit of revenge, the scheme was
providentially detected by Lyons, after
the box had been put under his bed;
the light was seen, and the candles ex-
tinguished, in time TO prevent the muir
der OF Lyons and other persons who
were in the same log cabin with him.
Macon was defended with great ability
by Messers. b. w. Leigh and Whitaker
and prosecuted by the Attorney Gem
