The Kentucky Reporter says, "The
Omipotent Majority Of the last Legis.
lature has been presented BY grand
Jury in Montgomery county, for viola
ting the constitution. The intelligent
people ofMontgomery have given ma
ny proofs of their disapprobation Of
the high handed measures of the legis-
lature. They submitted patiently to
divers encroachments on their rights /;
they surrendered their money andtheir
property, and forgave their debtors all
for the public good, the Empiricks told
them but they are not willing 10 give
up their constitution, and surrender
their liberties to King Legislature.
This is asking Of them rather too
much.
Extract of letter from an officer Of the
U. S. ship Peacock, to a gentleman in
Charleston, S. c.
"Callao, Nov. 6, ls25.-We have re-
turned hither from Quilca, a small
place with only 80 huts in the port,
where we were obliged to lay in an open
roadstead, our ship rolling all the
time her hammock cloths under. The
inhabitants are very hospitable, but
possess little education, being the low
err class of people who left the city of
Arequipa, and formed settlement on
the sea-shore. The American .ner-
chantmen on this coast, have an idea
that the Spaniards are no more ma
ton, and that their revenue laws may
be broken without danger; but these
restrictions here, are as severe as in
our own country, and protection cam
not, in such cases, be expected from
the ships Of the United States"
"Calao, Dec. l3.-I yesterday attend
ed the funeral of the English Consul
General, who was shot on his way from
Callao to Lima, by Patriot sentinel.
He was passing by the guard in the
night, in his carriage, attended by his
daughter; he was hailed by the sentinel,
and Immediately got out Of his car
riage, and jumped upon his servants
horse. The dress of the Consul so
much resembles that of Spanish Ge-
neral, that the sentinel, without waiting
for him to speak, Immediately shot
him. The ball passed through his
horses neck, through his arm, and
then through his body; he survived
three days.
"Therc never will be any pleasure
experienced by our cruizes in this part
of the world, while the Royalists and
Patriots are at war. We are perpetu-
ally under way, for the protection of
American vessels which may arrive at
this place, the port of which has been
closed against Americans for nearly
two months; and when in want of water,
we are compelled to go to one of the
leeward islands to fill up"
Pensacola, Feb 26.-We understand
that lieut.. Pearson, midshipman Win
gered, and S seamen Of the U. S. navy,
have arrived at Fort Barrancas they
having been wrecked in the y. s. barge
Dioblita, upon the island of Santa Bosa
on Saturday evening last. The Diobli-
ia was manned from the U. S. ship
John Adams, and has been cruizing for
pirates inside the Colorados Reef, as
far as Cape Antonio; which place they
left in company with the U. S. barge
Gallinipp"r, on the 9th inst. on her re-
turn to Thompson's Island. In cross
ing the Gulf encountered some heavy
weather, in which she got separated
from her consort, and finding it i'm
practicable to reach Thompson's 2lsl-
and, from the shattered state OF her
sails, and want of provisions, bore up
for this place; when within few miles
