into Pernambuco, Brazil, by five sean,en, the
remainder Of her crew, having lost the cap

where she Was taken possession of by the A.
merican Consul. the Eve seancn put inirOns,
and sent home by a New London whale shin,
on charge Of piracy and murder. to be tried
for the offence. These sean1en have been for
some weeks in the Jail in this city, and on
Monday underwent an examination before
Judge Bristol, Of the United States Court for
this District. and were discharged, as entirely
innocent Of the crime aIiedged against them.
We were not present at the examination, and
have but an imperfect account of the circuln-
Stances but as far as we learn, they are as fol-
lows:
Fhc Parthian, under the command Of Cap
tain Drew. sailed from New Bedford on 10
whaling voyage. equipped Cor eight months.
Instead Of returning at the end Of that period,
the captain extended his cruise. reftted at sew
eral ports, and drew on his owners for large
sums ofmoney, on the strength of his success.
Having extended his cruise for more than a
year. he at length stopped at the island Of An
abona, on the coast of Africa, where he went
on shore, taking the vessels papers with him.
abandoning her to the crew. and finally took
passage and went of in an English vessel for
Liverpool. The mate and one man also left
the brig. Thus situated the remaining crew
got the vessel under way and put 10 sea, IN
der the direction Of John Jones, who had but
an imperfect knowledge Of navigation, though
he was the only navigator on board. With
the assistance Of vessel which they spoke at
sea. they succeeded in making the coast Of
Brazil, and the port Of Pernambuco. On
theirW0yage they lost by sickness, the cook,
steward and one seaman. The circumstan-
ces appearing suspicious, their story was not
believed, aud the consequences accrued which
we have already related.
The mate. we understand, has since return
ed, and all the material facts Of their relation
have been confirmed. The result is that af-
ter enduring the hardships of pr0tracted
whaling veyage-after being abandoned bv
their officers. and exposing their lives upon
ITO them) trackIess ocean-after saving their
ship and cargo, and placing them in the hanels
Of an official commercial agent-they have
suffered the ignominy Of the crime Of piracy
ana murder. and long months Of impriso6-
ment and shame. They are now cast upon
the world pennyless and frie0dless, deprived

no means Of obtaining relief Their names

the 2sth.- From this circumstance Il was suF-
missed tint the disturbances at Madrid were
mere serious than was confessed.
Public irritation being increased by these
excitements the people turned out in a body
and rushed towards the college of the Jesuits,
whence they said shots had been fred against
them, and an agent Of destruction, with the
nux vomics cakes upon his person, had lust
sought refuge, the Jesuits closing their doors
upon him and ringing the alarm bell. Upon
the arrival Of his Excellence the Captain Cen
eral of the Police at the spot, he found that
the populace had already scaled the convent
and killed six Of the Jesuits, and in the recess
OF the bottled gate, four others had been also
put to death.
