kingston, Jam. Oct. 4.-Several in
stances have occurred in the cours Of
the year, in which the privateers ofCo-
lombia, under pretext of attacking the
commerce OF Spain, have committed
outrages on the trade Of neutrals. "A
well authenticated case Of this knd
took place with regard to ship called
the John and Anne, Of London. TWAS
captured by the Clara, a Colombian
schooner, when about to enter the Ha-
vana, on the 18th January. The ship
was OF British register, the seanen
were British, and they sailed under the
British flag. The commander Of, the
Privateer, upon coming up with the
John and Anne, ordered her captain TO
surrender his register, manifest, and
letters. He then commanded him to
leave the ship, and go on board The
schooner. Having seized the letters
he informed him that the vessel was
lawful prize; and then substituting some
men of the privatesr for seven sailors

prisoners. The captain of the former
ordered the latterlo sail for Carthage.
ma. The cargo of the John and Anne,
was there condemned as lawful prize,
on the ground of being Spanish prop
erty, after proceedings which lasted
from the 9TH February to the 9TH March.
During all this time, the captain, with
the assistance of the British Consul,
protested against this violation of in
tenational law When the sentence
was passed, on the 9th March, the cap
tain was asked TO declare, by signing it,
that the cargo was Spanish. A bride
OF 5000 dollars was rendered for his
compliance This likewise he rejec-
ted; but neither his remonstrances, nor
his courageous honesty, could save the
property Of his employers The car
go was condemned, and sold auc-
ton as Spanish, while the ship was
given up as being British. Redress,
we understand, has been already de-
manded, and we have no doubt will be
granted for this outrage; otherwise the
conclusion Of treaties OF commerce
with the new states, and the appoint
ment of British missions to maintain
amicatle relations with them, would
only provoke insult and lead to spolia-
ton. 1t would be absurd TO allow the
principle on which this condemnation
overwhelmingly, that property con-
signed to Spanish house, or on the
point Of entering Spanish port, was
lawful prizr, as being necessarily Span
ish property The French and North
Americans have demanded and obtain
ed redress in cases similar to the one
above stated.

darkened his eye, and smiling bitterly upon the
scene, he stretched forth his hands, and said >
MAY the curse of an outcast and wanderer
light upon your proud city /; and bright as ye are
now, We shine for the last time in the sun burst
of day, for the morning will come and find We
fled as dream from the brain of the sleeper"
The young man started at the stern maledcton
of the mendicant, and the deep shadowing of his
brow; but time for reflection was not given him,
for the evening was drawing on, and the stran-
ger accepting his offer, prepared to follow him to
his house. After passing through two or three
long streets, the guide, whose name was OHal-
loran, struck into narrow lane, and stopping
before the gate of a mean habitaton, he lifted
the latch, and invited the old man to enter.
The room he led his guest into, correspondent
with the exterior Of the house, and was occupied
by an old woman whose years appeared not to
have diminished the natural gaiety of her heart.
Her grand daughter was seated in the corner,
and blthely singing as the merry wheel went
round her hair was chestnut brown, and her
eyes dark, blue, and brilliant, sparkled from be-
meath her curling tresses, as she raised them on
the entrance of her husband, who announced
the traveller that had demanded, and been re-
fused, the common rights of hospitality. In
moment the distaff was thrown by, and the
board spread with the best that the humble
dwelling produced; while the old man, having
been disencumbered by OHalloran of his cloak
and cap sat down with an urbanity of counte-
nance that curiosity contrasted with the almost
supernatural expression of malice, which had
few minutes before risen like fre-fush on
his features. After supper, O'Halloran brought
a harp, one of which was then to be found in
every house in Ireland, and placing it before his
guest, waited in expectation of his playing. The
stranger drew it on his knee, and as his fingers
wandered among the strings, he sung in low
but energetic tone, the following verses:
The sunlight is streaming,
Dalgaith, on thy towers,
And the sweet birds are singing
Within thy green bowers
But ere the next sunbeam
Shall dance on the wave,
Thy groves shall be hush'd
AS the calm of the grave
And the sound Of the lutte,
And the soft mandolin,
Shall be drown'd in the shout,
And the hurrying din. o.
Then heed thee oh, heed thee
In castle and hall,
For the night-star that's coming
Shall witness thy fall
The minstrelrepeated, in deepened cadence,
For the nightstar that's coming
Shall witness thy fall

over him as he gazed upon themysterious be-

wanderer disregarded his agitation, and shortly

IRISH MELODIES.
FROM times immemorial authors are, through
polteness or policy, invested with many pecu-
liar privileges, among which is, even the bend
ing time and circumstances to their views; but
in the present case, waive this liberty, and
have only, in adopting a founding, given it the
clothing that pleased me. confess that the
latter is not destitute of some little embellish-
ments, for the existence of which it is indebted
to imagination alone, but, speaking at once to
the point the ground work of my story is said
to be TRUTH!
According to some ancient gossippers, there
was, many centuries ago. large and populous
town near Carrickiergus, in the north of Ireland.
On the important heads of its name and origin,
history has not deigned to illuminate us; and,
indeed, | have good reason to believe, that they
would battle the research of the most profound
antiquarian that ever existed; but for my pur-
pose it is sufficient that tradition has recorded
the town, and that no trace of it is now to be
found Having affirmed thus much | will no
longer delay the details of my story, aware that
my fair readers must be as impatient as myself
to begin them.
Towards the decline of day in autumn, as
the inhabitants ofthis townwere indulging them
selves gaiety after the close of their business,
an old man, habited in long dark cloak, and
seemingly bent with fatigue, made his appear
ance among them, and requested refreshments
and shelter for the night. The manner in which
he sought the kindness of strangers was i'll cal
eulated to produce the effects he desired; the
tones of the mendicant were strangely mingled
with the voice of one who commanded duty,
and the piercing grey eyes that sparkled beneath
his white and overhanging eyebrows, were fitful-
ly illumined with a wild and fearful brillian-
cy The people gazed at him for moment,
and then, averse to his aspect, closed their
hearth and door to his Importantly For some
time the old man wandered from gate to gate in
search Of hospitality, till at length, in the market
place, person beckoned him, and besought him
to put up with the accommodation of his hum
