Phenix gazette. [volume] (Alexandria [D.C.]) 1825-1833, 1831-05-04
From HE same.

The Washington correspondent of the United
states Gazette saws the President informed a gen
oman who recently visited him, that when he
bred his cabinet he prepared set OF rules and
equations to which he required and received
ne assent of all the members. One OF the re-
-a,ioas was, that whenever any member OF the
,Enat should be brought before the people as
anddlte for the Presidency, he should leave
| ne cabinet. One of the members having been
nned abroad as occupying that situation, he had
!.emed il necessary. in the enforcement OF the
avs which he had prescribed for the government
/ lie cabinet, that change should take place. .
| This may be a satisfactory cause for the reslgna-
bon Of Mr. Van Buren,; but it is not easily per-
;eyed how the other three parts OF the 'unit''
o4ld be affected by this arrangement Perhaps,
harver, it was understood that il fourth part
Vi the unit should become a candidate tor
the Presidency. the entire ..unit"would conse-
qlnn,Iy become infected with the disqualifying
mady. We should like to know what MIR.
Branch thinks Of this apology for the Presidents
request that he should resign.

NarioWs Traqsacii0n.- heard Yesterday
o. transaction very different from the usual char
.Cter OF the euterprising and hospitable inhabi-
tn,s Of Cape Cod. A pink stern schooner sailed
rOn this pNrt for Mt. Desert just before the Au-
.l,, or September gale, and was afterwards found
ai,if, and towed into one of the harbors OF the
! ape, and was identified as the one abovemen-
toned. The schr was owned IN part by citizen
aio formerly resided at Mt. Desert, and had
married. there. On board was his wife and child
| -an 3, 80 alsn ahnnt y nm
worth Of goods belonging to her husband, and a.
ON, 5000 in notes to be collected there. Few
or roRe Of these articles were recovered.
4 short time since the mothers Of the two boys
who were on board mackeral catcher belonging
70 liarwich, commanded BY Coleman Kelley, as
'erlained from them that the vessel had fallen in
AIlhthe pluk-stern schooner, had hshed out OF
The cabin the BODY Of a female dressed in black
lS gown. which Kelley stripped of, tore the
ilnss from her fingers aud ears, took her gold
hccSace. and threw the body into the sea. A
.arse quantity Of clothing. sc. was 6shed out.
and Kelly aud the crew divided the spoil and a
creed to keep tire transaction secret. These boys
lad S. each and some clothing for their share,
y her mothers disclosed the affair because there
rad not been fair division, or more probably
Ut the sake Of bringing the offenders to justice.
The subject being inquired into. one Ut the
men made confession in order to turn States evi-
Uence; and the parties were arrested, Kelley
vas bound over in $4,000. to appear at the May
Term 1.-THE Supreme Judiciary Court at Barnsta-
o'e, and two Of his men in $1,000. K. is said to
nave abscOuded, and to have previously sent
word h his wife to DESTROY certain notes. The
'Ialen who was thus unfortunate. is now in Barn
>ao'e county, endeavoring to obtain what salts
action the law may afford. Besides the distress
ns less Ofhis wife and child, the goods, notes and
uOe fourth OF the vessel comprised nearly all his
property, and he was consequently rendered
~nkrupt.-BOsiOn Pat.
