The occupation of the fort of the Emperor

advantage. However, every thing was
ready to give them good reception.

The Virginian has the following remarks
on public executions. We again express
our decided conviction that the penalty of
death, though denounced upontransgressors
by the Jewish law, ought not to be inflicted
in this enlightened age, among civilized and
merciful people, any more than that other
Hebrew canon, San eye for an eye, and
teoth for tooth. AS a punishment of the
criminal, it carries less terror with it than
Imprisonment for life while, as a iOarning
to others it is worse than worthless. But, if
blood must he shed for blood, let it be done
in the solitude of the prison. Collect no
such crowds together as we saw here on
Monday last, and as are to he seen where
there is to be an execution: the certain con-
sequences of which is the perpetIation of a
hundred fold more vice and crime than is
expiated by the death of the malefactor,
which they assemble to behold. The num-
Der of persons at the gallows has been va
riously estimated-We think there were
about 5000 persons present-others estimate
the number as low as 1000, and others as
high as $4,000. 1t is not material which is
right-aIl will agree, however, that there
were enough to create sentiments of un-
mingled disgust-here, females leading by
the hand their offspring of tender years
and there spectacles of brutal intempcromOe,
the very vice against which the execution
of Jones had warned those who beheld it,
with trumpet tongue but which, as IN all
similar cases, they heard motor hearing,
disregarIed."

There is a rumor afoat within the last
day or two, of serious misunderstanding
having taken place between Commodore
Rodgers and the Secretary of the Navy +;
and that the Commodore has despatched a
letter to the Secretary so deficient in that
courtesy which usually characterizes the
language of an officer when addressing
himselfto the head of his department, as to
provoke the Secretary in retaliation and re-
venge. The precise cause Of the misunder-
standing cannot state with any confidence /;
but it is supposed to have some connection
with the discharge Of the hands which have
been employed in repairing the Macedonian

believed, that the gallant commodore has

SPAIN AND Mexico. A London paper of

counts have been received by government of
another Spanish expedition, supposed to be
against Mexico, having touched at the Cape
de Verd Islands; and also that the Mexican
Minister here has received advices, showing
that the Spanish government, notwithstanding
the remonstrances of the British Cabinet, are
continually sending out to the Havana small
detachments of troops, who are to be formed
in body there forthe purpose of profting by
the first opportunity, to make descent on the
Mexican coast, where, however, the MexicaRs
are fully prepared to receive them.

bucharest, June ii. We have news
from Constantinople of the 4th. 1t is not
the Troubles in Albania alone that makes
the Sultan uneasy; similar occurrences
take place in other parts of the tottering
Turkish empire. The ordinances Of the
Ottoman government are frequently oppos-
ed by open force; and the officers who have
to execute the Sultan commands, especial
ly the collectors of taxes, are so fearful, that
none of them venture to go out in the day
time. At Adrianople frequent disorders
arise, which are set on foot by the secret
adherents of the Janissaries, whose party is
by no means extinguished. The newly
raised soldiers positively refuse to march
and fly into the mountains. Thus the au-
thority of the Sultan daily declines, while
the distress of its finances increase.
