Capt. Munro, of the packet ship
Franklin, which was cast away last
Thursday morning off Barnegat, has
addressed the following letter to the
editors of the New-York Mercantile
Advertiser.
"Permit me through the medium Of
your paper, to express my indignation
at the treatment I received when un.
fortunately cast ashore in tie ship
Franklin, on Island Beach, six miles
north of Barnegat Inlet. fondly
hoped that the unpleasant situation in
which my crew and self were placed,
would elicit feelings from the inhabit-
ants entirely different from what we re-
ceived-I thought we were cast upon
an hospitable shore, where we should
find civilized beings, but | regret to
say that not more than 90, out OF 200
or more, who assembled on the beach,
but what plundered us of every thing
they could get hold Of, although every
precaution in our power was used to
guard against it. 1t is impossible for
me to say what amount oil property
they embezzled-I have no doubt that
valuable goods were frequently buried
in the sand, in order to be removed at
night. A new maintopsail, which with
much difficulty we got on the beach,
was taken from us. In fine it is i'm
possible to enumerate the many instan-
ces Of similar nature In the effing,
there were several vessels picking up
valuable goods, the names Of which l
have in my possession, but presuming
they will deliver the goods to the agents
of the ship, forbear at present TO
name them. feel under great obliga-
tons to Mr.. VIM. Platt, for his atten-
ton while there. Conceive if 10000
are required to protect our commerce
in the w. Indies, an equal number IS
necessary on Island Beach.

Philadelphia, May 6.-Letters received by
the brig Rose. represent the opening of the
Spanish ports as premature. No doubt was,
however, entertained at Cadiz, on the 18th
March, that they would be opened, for Pc
Rod, and, from the shortness of the crop, it
was believed that they would soon be closed
again. The rate of duty, it was stated, would
be 81 SO to 2 a barrel on -four, and from so
to 81 cents fanega on wheat. The crop Of
wine is said to be short

FATAL OCCURRENCE.

A man by the name of Uriah Thorn
son, of this County, was shot on Sun
day last by one Uriah Sharp, his neigh
Dor and brother-in-law. The circum-
stances as related to us, were as follows:
Sharp was in pursuit of turkeys; he
discovered something at distance be-
fore him, which he supposed to be a
turkey, at which he Immediately dis
charged his rifle. The ball passed thro'
one arm, and lodged in the breast OF
Thompson. He was setting on the
root of tree, watching for turkeys al
so. Sharp left him, to so for assistance;
about ne mile and half, before he
again arrived at the spot, Thompson
had ex1ired. There are other rumors
respecting this affair, the above was re.
lated to us by one Of the neighbors Of
the deceased. Carks6urg ia. Intel.
A very singular incident, and one
which it was at first supposed would
be attended with serious consequences,
occurred at a respectable boarding
house in this city on Wednesday eve
ming. At tea, the boafders, about IS
in number, partook of some cake which
was on the table, and were soon after
seized with a violent sickness at the
stomach. A general alarm was the
consequence and physicians were sent
for, who arrived, and by seasonable re-
NEEDLES, all, we are happy to state, have
recovered. On investigation it appear
ed that the cake had been accidentally
mixed with arsenic instead of pearlash,
and being so strongly impregnated, it
produced immediate sickness, to which
cause is attributed their speedy reco-
very, as medical aid was thus speedily
obtained. Ne,c- York Gd-.
The circuit court closed its session
on the Goth ult. at Rochester, On. W
Only one person Samuel jones' was
sentenced to the state prison. His
case has excited more attention than
any ever tried in that country. He
undertook, without property and with
out friends to dispossess the rightiul
owners of a large tract of valuable
land, by exhibiting forged deed and
proving its execution by perjured wit
nesses. In 1922 decision was OBJ
tanned in the supreme court, in his IA
vor, and it has taken the whole OF the
last three years to ferret out the necss-
sary proofto bring his villanies to light.
After having perjured himselfby swear
ing to false afiadvits, and inducing
others, BY hope of reward to commit
the same offence, he has been fairly
convicted and sentenced to the state
prison during his natural life.

did future.
Thus you perceive, gentlemen, that
within few short months, the domi-
MON Of the forest, and OF the sons OF
the forest, have been at the same time
subverted, and that civilization blooms
where ferocity reigned. The sword
of the hero has penetrated, the foot Of
the savage has pressed the lair OF the
barbarian. The woods have yielded
their shade to the saw, their quletude
to the hammer, and the sound OF the
Gospel is heard among scenes, once SO
sanguinary, that history recoils from
them in dismay. Streams that have
been stained, even with infantlcide, now
watt in peace the projecting banner oil
our nation.
Gen. Lafayette, who occupies nearly
the whole remaining part of the mes
sage, is thus noliced:
| recommend to you, gentlemen, to
pass an immediate resolution, inviting
the General TO visit us during the au-
tumnal and hibernal months OF the en-
suing year, to abide fora period among
us, to see with his own eyes his superb
estate, and to give our citizens also,
new reasons 10 admire and to love him.
And if it should so be that brighter
chimes and higher destinies do not
elsewhere call him, with US 10 spend
his remaining days.
New productions, new modes OF cul-
tivation, new Charms OF society and
sources of labor, better than those we
have been accustomed to look TO, would
be among the happy results. In the
interval, | recommend it to all my lei
low citizens, without distinction, to
consider themselves as the guardians
Of his rights and interest, to defend his
property from any injury, or depreda-
lions, and to do every thing which can
advance his profit. Did l say that to
my fellow citizens, Iplaced this course
of conduct in the light Of a recommen-
dation? | was wrong, strictly char
ged it upon them, as "a most sacred
duty, farther recommend to you, Gen
tlemen, to pass law, exempting all
the property of the General in Florida,
from every species Of taxation, during
his natural life.
His Excellency recommends the es-
adjustment ola University; the repeal
Of some laws which be fears may clash
with those of the U. States, and con-
cludes with assuring the legislature OF
his prayers for successful issue to
their labours.

second, humane and just as the Anto-

the memorable boundaries, which for
ever seperate the era Of our ignorance
from the propilious days Of our glory;
they who, having disen,hralled Peru
from the bloody car of despots, have
placed in our hands, the decision OF our
future destiny.
Representatives, the sure way TO feel
so sacred an object, and show worthily
our gratitude to the liberators Of Peru,

the South, will be to place ourselves

Justice: and we shall resolve to pro-
