BALTIMORE, August 2.-The schooner

Colors hoIsted. A short time after, news
was received OF the abolition of the Consii-
tulIonal government of spain upon the
receipt OF which most OF the Spanish troops
in Peru refused to ack knowledge The abso-
lue government OF the King. Awaiting
himself OF TINS circumstance, Bolivar i'm
medialeiy returned TO Cailao, and was
joined by great number OF the Spanish
troops, as also by the faction in Peru who
had before opposed him, on the ground,
as was SAID by them that he had come
not for the purpose OF assisting them, but
OF coneuoring n lie name oil Colombia. -
He had sgsIp taken possession OF CalIao,

OF bringing the war 10 speedy close. On

MURDER.

A most atTociousa and diabollcal deed
took place at North Haven on Sunday
morning last, in :be murder Of Mr.. JOEL
MANSFIELD, OF that town, by has aCJe,--
An examination OF the case was held yes
terday morning. before Justices Pierpont,
Barnes. Ives and Bishop, when the fol-
lowing facts appearel;-Tbat the deceas-
ed bad risen early in the morning, and at
tended TO iodderiBg his cattle; after winch
be returned to his bed, laid down, and
fell asleep. His wife had previously RI
sen, and being subject to intoxicalion had
been tor several days previous in state OF
lneoriety, OF the most brutal and disgust
ing character. Ia the unsuspecting mo,
ment OF sleep" without cause or provo.
cation, she seized Ratchet, and struck
him a severe blow upon the face and re-
peating it upon his temple, buried The in
strument 10 his head. The unhappy wo,
man seemed to be almost unconscious of
the enormity Of the offence, related and
acknowledged all the particulars of the
act, expressed some contrition, saying she
would give whole room full OF gulneas'
rather than it bad been done, said they
had lived happily together, wished to al.
tend The funeral and invited the by-stand.
ers to do so. She was committed for trial
at the next superior court. We are in
formed that she has been a woman OF gu.
perior intellect, evidences of which she
often exhibited in her gentle moments ,snd
diseased Imagination probably led her
to the commission OF a crime at which e
yerv principle of humanity rpyojts. Tins
can the moral sensibiIites, even of the
softer sex, be bunled and obitersted by
the power of the destroyer RUM.

MORE FISHERMEN TAKEN.

EAsTfoRT, July 1.-THE schoener
Rebecca, belonging 10 Captain Wass OF
Columbia, and schooner 49,, III. Clark,
Of this port, were taken few days since,
off Grand .Nanan, .by the British gun
brig DottefelI, the fofmeeof which was
sent to ST. John, and the latter made
tender OF, the better to modest our tish-
ermen. The schooner Galleon, of Luz
Dec, was chased into port by the briggs
tender, and schooner Reindeer, of the
same place, had several shot fired thrO'
her sails, but escaped. All the above
vessels were from S to Is miles from
any shore, therefore, not violating the
treaty which restricts them to within 3
miles. Not long siace another vessel
belonging to Lubec, was takep and orr
dered 10, but was retsken by the skip
per and arrived safe home. We nave
had occasion, before, to notice 81 miiar
outrages upon our ishermen, by British
armed vessels, and hoped there would
not be repetition Of them. But it
seems that treaties are not binding, that
law and justice is not regarded, for our
fishermen are not only captured on the
high ssas, but boats pursued even TO
our shores and there taken. We can
not view this system of plumber in so
favorable light as the piracies COM
mitted off Cape Antonio. Depreda.
tions OF THE nature we trust our CO.
vernment will not submit to. and hope
that part of Com. Porter's squadron
will be sent to this quarter, to hunt the
Pirates in our Bay, wha are as trouble.

not the same means of refuting SANDER as men
have. aud as celebrated female writer justly
remarks, "The only authentic means wo-
man can have to prove the talsity of scandaious
reports are, some private virtues some good
deeds, scarcely known; some sentiments con

We hope that wherever they go they may
