II is with deep regret that we record the death
Of Don Juan Bautista Bernabeu, His Catholic
Maiesty's Consul General for the Z. States. THIS
distinguished gentleman sank, on the 50 INST,
under very painful maady, which ne bore iof
long time with exemplary forttude He was
born at Alicant, in Spain, on the l4th OF June,

The PENNSYLVANIA of Saturday, in order to
account for the loss of the liberty cap on the
new coin, says:
"When Roman discharged his slave from
bondage he put cap on his head 10 denote that

we are hence to infer that General Jackson,
thinking he has reduced 'a people to slavery,
orders the cap to be taken from the national
emblem, to denote that they are no longer free
