am no longer willing to belong to a commu-
nifty that is not morally as we'll as politically
independent: and we cannot but acknowledge
that the chains OF n,oral slavery still hang upon
the United States.-Tbe people of that country
sprung most wholly from English ancestry;
they have, with the E0glsh, a common Ian
gusge and a common literature; and there ex.
lists a certain resemblance in the manners, Gus
toms, laws, and political institutions of the two
nations. When we add TO all this, that the
English are beyond us in the march OF civiliza-
lion, we see that it is in the very essence and
nature OF things, that they should exercise an
immense moral influence over us. Deeply

A nest OF runaway negroes was dis.
covered last week in the fork of the
Alabama and Tombeckbe Rivers, by a
party from the upper end of Mobile
County, consisting of Messrs. Dupree,
Joseph Johnson, Jon. johnson, Rain,
ReAves and some others. The negroes
were attacked and after a very severe
action they were conquered. Three
negroes were shot, viz: Bust, Hector and
Hal; several were taken prisoners and
others escaped. They had two cabins,
and were about TO build a Fort. The
encampment is probably broken up en-
tirely. Some of the negroes have been
runaways several years, and have com
mitted many depredations on the neigh.
bouring plantations. They fought des-
perately. We have only time at pre-
sent to give the above-the particulars
hereafter.-.MObiie Register.
SedRction.-At the last term of Jones
County Court. North Carolina, the case
of Mallard Us. Fascue, came on for tri-
al. II appeared in evidence that the de-
PENDANT was upon terms of intimacy
with the plaintiffs family, and particu-
larly attentive to his daughter, so much
so, as 10 induce her to believe that he
intended marriage. His visits were re.
peated for seven or eight years; when
having finally triumphed over.her afsc-
tons, he became her seducsr. The
offspring of this guilty connexion, and
the wretched mother were all soon al.
ter the birth of the infants, consigned
to a premature grave; and this action
was brought by the plaintiff for DANA
ges.
The examination of the testimony,
and the arguments of counsel, consum-
ed the whole day. The Jury, after an
absence Of a few minutes, brought in
a verdict of Five Hundred Dollars
damage. The defendant has, we un-
derstand, taken an appeal to the Su-
perior Court-Neubera Sen.
QUEBEC, July s,-Several hundred
barrels of beef and pork which arrived
here on Saturday, in the American brig
Marion, from Boston, were, we under
stand, not allowed to land. The other
articles imported in this vessel may be
seen among the auction sales. Both this
vessel and the Juliet, from the same
port, have brought considerable quanti-
ties ofstsves on the sale of which no loss
will, We understand, be suffered.
