Mr. Kremer says in letter to the the edi'

viii prove his charges against MIR. Clay in his
address to his constituents. We remain of
the same opinion before expressed, that he
will entirely fail in his evidence, and subject
himself still more to the censure and ridicule
of the world. The grounds upon which the
editors of the Intelligencer refuse it an inser-
ton, are sufficient to satisfy that it is solely
made up of assertions founded upon his own
calumnious coniectures.

Nassau Jan. l5.-A French brig with
a cargo of 400 slaves, was fallen in
with off St. Jaso de Cuba, by H. M
ship Primrose, capt. Stoddart, which
she detained and brought into Port
Royal, Jamaica, on the 9Th ult. This
vessel with the whole Of her cargo was
in few days after, delivered up to the
captain, and was accompanied to St
Jago de Cuba, by the Primrose. The
following observations on the subjec,
are taken from the Jamaica Journal.
eff any further facts are required to
burst the bubble that has so lcrg at
tracted the philanthropic patronage OF
the British public in the shape OF the
Sierra Leone Company, for the civili-
cation of the African race, they may be
drawn from the examination of the Of
ficers who commanded the slave ship
called the Les Deux Nantais, of Nantes
recently brought in here by the Prim-
rose ship of war. The master, whose
name is Pelletier, took in the whole OF
his slave cargo at the mouth OF the
Sherbo River. This place, which is
laid down in the maps as belonging to
the British, is about 80 or 90 miles
from Sierra Leone, from which it clear
ly appears that a great proportion o
the Slaves on board had been shipped
from the settlement of Sierra Leone, t.
be sold to any of the French or Spa
nish Islands in the West Indies, tina
| offered the most profitable market. 1
| appears that an Englishman, of thu
| name of Marshall, an inhabitant o
Sierra Leone, was the agent employed
| in conveying the negroes in boats OF
board the Nantais. The officers Of TIT
detained vessel, finding the officers o
the Court of Vice Admiralty eagerl!
interested in the information they de
tailed, became suddenly silent, and eva
ded giving any further direct replies
that might commit the character o
their employers. We trust, however
that this occurrence will be thorough!
sifted, and the whole of the TRANSACTION
fairly stated to the British public, tina
| it may no longer be made the dupe o
| so infamous humbug."

LOSS OF sLooP FLAG, OF NEw.yopp
Norfolk, Feb. 24.-"I am sorry to in
form you that the sloop Flag, Shubael
Lines, master, of and from New York
for this port, was capsized on Sunday
morning last, on the middle Ground
during heavy blow, (seen and re-
ported by brig Decatur, in Hampton
Roads, from St. Thomas, for Alexan.
dria) and every person on board down.
ed. On Tuesday morning the pilot boats
Ann and Mary Ann, of Hampton, fell
in with the wreck a few miles S. Of
Cape Henry, full of water, and her mast
carried away close to the deck: acorpse
was discovered in the hold; < on the ri.
lots taking the wreck in tow, and at.
tempting to secure the corpse, sea
washed it out and they lost it.
Captain Richard Webb and Mr.
Peter Makingo,of Portsmouth, Vir.
ginia were all the passengers known to
be on board. The attempts of the pi-
lots to get the wreck in, proved una
valling; as the current was setting ve-
ry strong to the southwark, and a
strong northerly wind prevailing, they
took off the cables and anchors, sc. and
found capt. Webb's quadrant and some
of his clothing, which they also took
charge Of, and arrived at Hampton
yesterday morning.
The vessel was very light, having on
board only As bbls. of gin, z frkins
