The Moniteur contains officially the
law for the payment Of the American
claims agreeably to the votes Of the two
Chambers-Recruits for the Spanish
service were enlisling in great numbers
throughout England.-The Order in
Council allowing the Queen of Spain to
recruit in England has given great sat-
isfaction to the French. The Wing Min
istry are strongly opposed for reasons
ofstate to the marriage ofthe Queen OF
Portugal in the Duke of Nemours.-
The British ministry have declared to
Saldanha through their Ambassador al
Lisbon, that, if the marriage takes
place, the connection of England up.

EIGHT DAYS LATER FROM ENGLAND.
By the packet ship Roscoe, Capt.
Delano, we have received London
papers to June 23d, and Liverpool to
the Gath, both inclusive.
The accounts from Spain are rather
favorable to the government party
Zumalacarregui, the chief ofthe insura
gent forces, had been severely wound

Recruiting for the service ofthe Queen
was rapidly going on in England,
France & Belgium,-and in Holland o.
Germany for the service Of the Carlisls.
O. In addition to the above we are
informed by the English papers, that
the celebrated political writer William
Goblet, died at CIili'ord's Inn, Lon.

made. A committee, similar to the
one in Madison, have been in session
for several days 10 Clinton. Various
suspected white men, from different
parts of the county, have been arrests

hauled up. but, nothing having been
allotted which authorized punishment,
they were set al liberty. We sincere

compelled to fly, with her orphan child,

The same fate was threatened to a..

the bodies before the expiration OF the
twenty~four hours. At eleven o'clock
the next day they were cut down and
thrown together into hole which had
been dug near the gallows, without cof-
fms or any other preparations, except
a box into which one of them was put.
Thus ended this disgusting and hor-

magistrates attempted to interfere, but
were cautioned at their peril not to

Something ous.--The other day,
while at the house of General William
Disharoon, of Louisiana, we were
shown two whole eggs, with the breast
bone, and other parts Of wild duck,
which were discovered embedded in
large cypress log, perfectly sound and
solid. The eggs and bones we're dis
covered while the log was being saw
ed up for lumber and The only ration
al way in which we can account for
this singular discovery is, that the tree
originally had hollow ia it, in which
the "uncons cious'' duck built her nest,.
and, during the usual time of incnba-
lion, the hole, or opening, became
closed by the rapid growth Of the tree.
From the appearance Of the tree, and
the place where the eggs and bones
we're taken from, it must have happen
