FROM HAVANA.

by an arrival at Charleston, Havana papers
are received to the 18th January, containing a
proclamation of Gen. Wives, ordering all Grim
inals to be tried and punished according to the
ancient penal code restored by Ferdinand, and
declaring all the constitutional government null
and void. An order had also been issued for
sending all passengers arriving at Havana, on
board the guard ship, there to remain until the
sailing of the vessels again, or until some respon-
sibie persons became their security. Several
proclalnations were received by this convey
a9ee, issued, it is said by considssable portion
most fervid sentiments of and calling
upon the native inhabitants d The Island of Gu,
ba to throw off their Subsection to an i,nperious
government, which, at the distance of 1900
leagues, pretends to rule them according to the
principles of absolute sovereignty. The exam
pies of Paraguay, Chill, Lima, Colombia and
Mexico, are dweit upon with much cornplacen-
cy' and the idea of becoming dependency on
the British government is treated with the ut.
most contempt.

The schr. Doroihea, capt. David Wagenaar,
Of Curacao, had been captured near Cape Roxo,
by piratical vessel bearing the French trico-
lored flag, and all on board except boy MUIR
dered. This boy escaped by swimming. He re-
lates, that /" the pirate took all the crew of the
Dorothea and locked them all up in the hold ex-
cept capt. w. They made then hole in the
side OF the vessel, to cause her to sink; the peo.
pie perceived the water, coming in the hold,
broke into the cabin; and made their escape ON
deck, hoping to save their lives, by some way
OF other and get on shore; but how great was
their astonishment, OH seeing the boat return
again without capt. Wagenaar; and before he
was taken away he implored for MS life, but
could not excite compassion into the hearts OF
those 6arbarlans. They came on board thieves
sci and murdered every soul on board except
ing two boys who sprung into the sea, which
they pursued, and murdered one, and left the O.
Their to go, because they thought he would no,

THIS capture had produced great excitemen,
at Curacao, where captain Wagenaar was vel
known and much respected.

propose TO make upon part of the speech are
prompted by sense of duty to my native State,
and by no view to any personal qualification
or object.
! The part to which allude is the s'author-
lied combination. "-This undigni6ed fling
was poisoned shaft which could not harm
the Conventions dead enemy; but which
adheres to the bosom of the Commonwealth.
The very terms, though sufficiently inaccurate
establish this truth. A combination in the iii
sense used by his Excellency is league for
bad purpose, in which those who authorize
1t are principals. such combination among
agents in behalf of their principals, affecting the
former only with guilt, and leaving the
latter innocent, is solecism and absurdi-
ty. 1t is then the good old State and
people of Observation-Disclosures people who
appointed, approved, and Cheered the Con-
vention; whose honor is assailed by their
Governor. The Convention itself is the
stalking horse. The Commonwealth of 1923
is still the Commonwealth of I814-shorn ef
Its beams 1T Is true--mutilated by political
surgeons and reduced to second rate dimen-y
sions by the intrigues of low ambition-doom.-
ed foF long time, perhaps forever, to ex--
haust its political strength and influence in
wranglings growing out Of personal and con-
temphble antipathies and predictions. But
nevertheless, the same sober, moral, firm, and
patriotic community then and now. Ali this
Ills Excellency seems not to comprehend.
he begins with censure and ends with praise.
I he end OF his Commonwealth, like Coma
los IN the Tempest, forgets the beginning
and he is not aware that he dishonors the peo-
pie who rocked the cradle of indepenence, by
charging upon then, ''combinationn to con-
sign prematurely to a tomb. 1t thus (for
reasons which shall be explained becomes a
claim OF justice which the State has right To-
prefer, that some member of that Convention
under the pledge ofhis own name and charac-
ter, should take issue upon the guilt of the
people OF Massachusetts, in regard to that
particuar.-To those who know the relation
in which have stood both to that Conyep-
ton and to the Governor, no apology can be
necessary for my taking up this gauntlet at
this moment, nor for my emitting to do it till
now. What propose to offer will be merely
IN the nature OF an historic memoir, presenting
the transaction, not entirely liz new light.
which is impossible but in one, by which the
friends to the honor of the State, of whatever
party, should be glad to view it, and accom-
panied by such remarks, only, as are extortcd
by the Speach--And while ! disclaim the
intention of giving just cause of offence to in

Baldwin, of..New- York, going into gray.
ing dock, it was discovered that large
kedge anchor, weighing between 5 and
6 hundred weight, hung suspended from
the bottom part ofthe ship. 1t appears
the vessel grounded in the Delaware on

the anchor must have struck through

during her passage across the Atlantic.
Had it given way the consequence
