Though his hair stood erect with Of

behind the outer door, and called to the

SAVANNAH, June SD NJ

From Key We&-The revenue cutter
Marion, Captain Jackson, arrived yesier-
dav, in three days from Key West An
affair occurred al that place on the 26th
nit. between William NI'Croa Esq. Dis
trict Attorney, and Captain C. Hawkins,
formerly of the Mexican brig HeTmione,
in which the f5rmer was killed. The fol
lowing are the particulars of this melan-
cholly catastrophe, which we have been
favored with
1t appgarsthat these gentlemen had long
been at variiace, arising from an illicit III
tercourse between M'Crea and the wife of
Captain Hawkins. Previous to discove-
ry ofthls, Captain Hawkins had employed
Nlr. NFCfea as counsel in some very i'm
DO taut law cases then and still pending
in the Courts at Key West-Aiter Capt.
II. discovered NJ MCrea's intimacy with
hls wife, a dnel ensued, which resulted
(afer the exchange Of tour shots in NJ
Crea's receiving ball in his thigh. Capt
Il. then left Key West for Mexico, and
had been absent for four months, when on
his he learned that his wife had been
sent TO her family by the fIends Of Capt.
Ii. Oh account OF the renewal of her Inier-
course with Al'Crea, aud that Mr., MCrea
had stated publicly his improper conduct
towards Mrs. II. MPCrea had further
aggravated Hawkins, by receiving fee
and appeariag as counsel for the o opponents
OF Hawkins, IN the pendlng law suits after
having been feed by Hawkins, and IN
possession ofall the facts necessary in be
half of Hawkins.
Thus iucensed, Hawkins, in an unfor-
tuaate moment, loaded double barrel gun
with buck shot, and as M'Crea passed the
window where Hawkins was, he fired both
barrels. M'Crea fell and expired in a few
hours after. Hawkins immediately sur
rendered himself to the civil authority.
In consequence of the great excitement
prevailing at Key West, the Marshal tho't
proper TO carry the prisoner to St. Angus
tine. He was placed on board the ReyeG-
ue Cutter Marion, Capt Jackson, under
the charge Of the Marshal, who delivered
HIM to the proper authorities at ST. Angus
tine. He will be returned to Key West
in November to stand his trial for murder.
The excitement at Key West was so
great, in consequence of tho death Of Mr.
MCrea, that on the arrival of the Gutter
Marion, a letter was addressed to Captain
Jackson, from Judge Webb, District
judge desiring him to remain in port until
the excitement had subsidized. The friends
of the parties were armed, and a very Sc.
rious recontre was for some time appre-
hended. 1t happ y was quoted when
Capt Hawkins was placed on board the
Gutter.
We learn that all was quiet on the coast
of Cuba, no late piracies. The United

The Russian CdmpaigH.-Though no
great importance was attached 10 the cap
ture of Varna in the first instance, it ap-
pears TO be regarded in different light by
the Russians. II has been fortified by
them. and unsuccessfully attacked by the
Turks. The former have since taken pos
session of NIisseyra and Sizepoli, in the
nc;ghporhood of Bourgas, and in the same
line Of advance, having thus pushed them
selves within hundred miles of COnstan-
tirople. 4 feet at the same time com
mands the Rack Sea, and another block
AIDES the DardaneIles. Ifthese two fleets
do MOI unite under the walls of the Turk
isb canital, they will at least greatly dis
.tress IL for provisions, and 1t turns out that
the asserted dependence Of ConstantnoPle
for corn chiefly on Asia Minor, has not
prevented great scarcity and consequent
discomfort there. ltwouId seem, too. that
the occupation of Yarna will enable the
russians to advance without attacking
Shoumla ~ front; so that this post IS no
longer looked on as tie 9hormopyIa Of
Turkey. Even If the rumours ofthe great
preDarations of the Sultan be exaggerated.
this state Of things must produce some
hard fighting this campaign. The last
presented nothing like the saugumary bat
lies. obstinate sieges, and desperate as
saults which have always slgnallzed the
Russian and Turkish wars. 1t canuot be
lone before accounts Of some decisive
movements shall reach us.-Bah. finer.

cases mostdelibeately to examine & weigh
the authorities which haG been cited by the

denomination, was an entire approbahoE
octheir former opinion, and the conseqent
judgement of the Court upon the demur
rcr against the suficiency of the indict-
ment.
The fundamental principles which the
opinion of the court went to sustain were,
that ie an indictments for fraud their must
be sufficient facts ayerred to lead to the leg

sion ofaw from the facts alleged. That
