The PiRATEs.--The FIVE men who were
executed at Boston on Friday last, lelt
the following declaration of innocence. IL
was written in Spanish by Gilbert, and
signed by his companions. The substance
Of it was delivered from the platform few
minutes before their execution, by the Rev.
Mr. Curtis, one of the Catholic clergymen
in attendance:
Americans! we, the undersigned, were
reduced to this sad and ignominious fate
by misfortune. not by guilt. In this world
we have nothing to hope but in the next
we confidently expect salvation from the
benign mercy of our heavenly Redeemer.
Then, Americans we declare to you with
our dying breath, that we are innocent ;
and we now aver SO in the hearing of that
| God before whom we must in few mo
ents appear; but our souls will not, a,
that sacred tribunal, be charged with de-
basing the last act Of our lives by the ut.
terance of falsehood. We speak the So
lemn ruth. We are not culpabe. And
we reiterate here. under The gallows, what
we declared on our trial. "that ,re die in
noesnt men" May God forgive those who
brought US TO this fatal end, as we now
freely do; and we leave the world in peace
with all men. Farewell, Americans!

From the New York American.

Mr.. EpIToR | have heard more than once, an
anecdote, which at the present moment is Of con-
siderable interest. At the time of the occupa-
ton OF Paris by the Allied troops, and when in
IDENTITIES were settled without much formal ne.
gotiation the part of the French is said that
Lord Wellington intimated 10 the then Ameri-
can Minister at the Court of ST. Cloud, that he
would be happy to support, with his immediate
influence, (Which was then potential the claim
Of our people against the French, for spoila.ons
Of our commerce. Mr.. Crawford, then the Am
erican Minister. replied with courtesy, that he
had no doubt Of the justice and integrity of the
French character, and that ultimately our de-
mands would be liquidated; but that he could not
think, at the moment when the French nation
were overwhelmed with misfortune, of press ing
these claims upon their immediate attention. -
This conduct, If the anecdote is true speaks well
to our national sympathies and Inagnanimity
Mr.. Crawford is now no more, and we cannot
ascertain from him its truth but perhaps some
of the readers OF your journal may be able, in
some way, TO confirm a circumstance so honora-
bic and so striking in its character.

The CHoLERA.--On Thursday. Of last week,
three cases of cholera occurred in this City, all
of which terminated fatally. The premonitory
symptoms. in all these cases, had been develop.
ed from four to six days. On Sunday, there were
four cases-one terminating fatally, the other
three either well or convalescing. On Tues.
day two occurred, both Of which are
covering. In all there have been nine cases and
four deaths up to the period when this paper goes
TO press. In every case, thus far, when the
symptoms have been attended to at an early pc
riod, the disease has readily yielded to the COM
mon, and even the moss simple remedies.

ARrsTocAcY.-There is not, we believe,
any one epithet, among the thousands that have
been used by the administration prints to render
the opposition unpopular with the American peo-
pie, that has oftener been put in requsition than
that of being aristocrats. To such an extent has
this been carried, that every man. high and
low, rich and poor who could have the hardi-
hood 10 think or act for himself, in opposition
10 the powers that be, is Immediately honored
with the above unrepublcan title. The applica-
ton of this distinction to many different classes
ofpeople has rendered it so vague & Indefinite,
that it has been almost impossible TO understand
what sort of an animal real full blooded aristo.
crat was. The following definition Of the term
aristocracy,- given by General Foy, distin.
guished orator in the French Chambers, throws
some light upon this dark subject.
Aristocracy in the nineteenth century is the
league, the coalition Of those who would con
sumo without producing, live without working
know every without learning anything, carry
away all the honors without having deserved
them, and occupy all the places of government
without being able to fill them
