VIOLATION OF JUsrIcE.-A most disgraceful
and outrageous violation of Justice, and the sane
tity OF a court room, took place in Boston few
days since. The circumstances Of the case as
stated by the Boston Atlas, appear to be as fol-
lows Some time in June last, female slave
belonging to Mr.. Morris of Baltimore, fell in
love with Tree negro man ofthe same city who
asked permission of MIR. M. to marry her Mr..
Nj. told the slave he had no objection TO her
marrying him, but advised her to get better &
more likely looking fellow. Upon the black fel
lows hearing this he persuaded her and another
slave 10 run away. The brig Chickasaw was to
sail from Baltimore for Boston on the 10Th of Ju.
Iy, and in this vessel the slaves managed to get
passage, the man taking some other mode TO
reach Boston. Mr.. Morris ascertaining whittier
they had gone, sent an agent in pursuit of them,
who arrived in Boston in season 10 board the
brig as IT was coming in to the harbor, when he
found the two girls and charged them with being
runaway slaves, which they at once acknowI.
euged' and gave their reasons for the course thew
had pursued, The Agent then requested the
Captain 10 detan the slaves until he could obtain
a warrant Tor their arrest. During his absence
on shore for that purpose, a party Of abolition.
ass went on board the vessel with writ of ha.
oeas corpus which had been granted on the an.
plica'ion OF free negro named Samuel II. Adams
TO be served upon too. female slares and one coll
ored man, who, it seems, were expected in the
brig. BY virtue Of this writ the slaves were IA
Ken away, and the Captain summoned 10 appear
before Judge Wilde to answer for OBTAINING
them on board the vessel
When the time for trial came, the court room
was thronged with negroes and abolitionists.-.
After the Court was organized, Mr.. Turner the
agent, made demand for the slaves and was
supported by his counsel, A. II. Fiske, ESQ
lhls demand was opposed by Mr., Sewall, on
the ground of its being necessary TO obtain =.
warrant before attempting to detan the slaves.
and also, on the ground of lis being contrar, TO
right and justice. The Judge proceeded TO rive
his opinion, in the course Of which, he intimated
that he did not consider the detention of the
slaves as legal, and was proceeding to make some
remarks relative TO Mr.. Turner, when Mr. 60.
wall arose and went to the negroes in the cour,
room and oeckoned them forward. A general
rush was the consequence. in the midst Of which
the slaves were seized by the blacks. mt into n
carriage and driven of at full speed. The doors
and windows Of the Court House, were filed up

intelhgencer Of Tuesday, that the course
Of Gen. Gaines has been approved in ad-
vance by the Government, Nothing but
the most indubiiablc testimony will con
vince us that it has been OF will be appro

OF the United States, bias resolved on an
invasion OF the territory Of a neighboring
nation, with whom we are entirely at peace.
and against which we have no cause OF
complaint or hostility, must excite uniyer.

such cause. il is not the province of a sub
ordinate military officer TO discover and

ment at The extreme frivolousncss of the
excuses upon tho strength Of which this
invasion Is undertaken. We need scarce

Sabine is our boundary 10 that quarter,
and that Nacogdoches is as clearly with

or PekIn. And so Gen Gaines has heard
a rumor that two men. (of what nation?)
nave been killed in Texas, twenty miles
