-Four oFTHE MuriSEERs.-A c,terrsceived at Lloyds
from their agent al Emden, dated the lst OF Sepem-
ber says-"in the night OF the 2ath ut a ship was
driven on shore the Isle Of Just On the Both
ult hive men of the crew arrived here, and upon our
lnqurng, reported II 10 be the Ceres, Captain Wright,
bound with cargo of sugar from New Orleans to
Hamburger, which we established through the news
papers OF this city, but which afterwards proved 10 be
false. Strong suspicion of barrary and mutlny ars-
ing, the SAID five men were arrested, and put To trial,
and We can now, from their dispositions, give the fol-
lowing authentic accoHnt.-The coppered brig Bra
g MA, from Philadelphia, Captain jolly, or folly,
left Philadelphia the 9th of July last with cargo
OF sugar and logwood, bound for Genoa. About three
weeks afterwards, when the vessel was in the Allan
TIC, nutiny was raised by part OF the crew. being
four Of the sailors arrived here VIZ Cornelius VIII
llams, surnamed William Hamburger, from Holsiein;
John Adams (who hanged himself in prison the day
on which ne was arrested;) Joseph Verbreggen, from
Belgium; Hans kundven, frem Schleswig; the fifth,
James Danveys from Aberavon, GlamOrganshire,
boy OF sixteen or eighteen years Of age, has been
inactive, and will in all probability prove innocent.
The captain was beaten and wounded, thrown over
board and drowned under horrible circumstances.
The mate Van de Sleuss, wounded, ann after
wards died on board the vessel the second mate,
Moore, after having been thrown overheard, mount
ed the vessel again and reached the cabin, where he
was then locked up together with the captains wife,
(Mary,) Mr.. Deal, from Philadelphia the owner Of
the vessel and perhaps Of the cargo too and Mrs.
Deal his wife; and kept prisoners curing ten days,
well the cook, called Browne, negro, who was
LOCKED up IN the 1OrecaStlC. Inc intended
10 sHffocate the four persons in the cabin but left or
failed doing so, and afterwards agreed TO let them live
and 10 leave them, together with the negro, to the
mercy Of the waves in the long boat, on their swear
ING never to denounce them. This was executed and
the said five persons left the Braganza IN the begin
nng of August in the long boat about rs miles dis
tan from Europe, with sufficient provisions for three
weeks, compass, boats sails, &C., no vessel being
then in view bat the weather was fine and the Bra
ganz1 having several sail the same day, il may
be hoped that the boat was picked up by of them.
The mutlnecrs now steered TO the North Sea, with
the intention OF sinking the vessel at a convenient
period in the neghtorhood Of the Elbc, but pre-
vented from 50 doing by running on shore on this
coast. The vessel has been unoaded by coasters of
several quarters part of which has been delivered up
to the authorities the remainder has been stolen to-
gether with the stores of the vessel Both OF the mates
were subjects of the United States.
RouEN Sept 5.-The manufacturers are still COM
planning, and many of them have only half Their
usual number of hands employed, and even those
who are employed leave oil work at early hour OF
the evening" instead OF remaining, as in busy times,
until IL or IL o'clock On the whole however the
trade of Rouen cannei be SAID 10 be in very de-
pressed state for some OF the largest
whose pecuniary means enable them to manufacture
for STOCK keep all their hands gong and even among
the manufacturers of the second class there are lew
failures. THIS may be IN a degree accounted Tor by
the tmdity of the French character in commercial at
fairs, and the high degree OF lnJary which failure IN
| trade nfcts even upon the honest man. In Eng
land II is but toe for the trader whose affairs
in prosperous state, and where II is dis
credltabe 10 fail for small sum, 10 launch boldly
into speculation certain that if he should not succeed
in retrieving himself a certificate Of bankruptcy, If
there has been no actual fraud, will enable him with
the aid of few friends TO regain his position in soce
~. IL is no. so here The trader here, when aware
tina; ne owes twice as much as ne can pay conceals
his position from his creditors, and lncuYs risks
IS liable 10 be treated as a fraudulent bankrupt; and
| even the most honorable and prudent man, who has
the mlsforsne TO become bankrupt, Is ncspacta'ed
from carrying on business again IN his own name,
until he can produce certificate from the whole of
his creditors that they have received payment of their
demands in full This is the great secret Of the tini-
dity OF the French trader The wealthy man retlres
when he has sufficient TO purchase his chateau and
become Mayor or AdJolnt Of the neghborlng town,
and he who has little 10 risk, will not even rsk that
little IN the chance Of getting more lest he should
fail, and see his name IN the Gazette
The Chamber OF Commerce here are abs 10 make
another attempt 10 obtain reduction of the duty
upon Colonial sugars The Chamber Of Com
meree Of Nantes has taken the lead, and sent IN
10 the government a remonstrance rather than a
petition, in which II declares that the merchants will
| be satisfied with nothing less than a reduction OF
| twenty francs upon the hundred koRrammes two
cwt Engish) The agrlcutursts, on the other hand,
using all their means TO prevent the success of the
merchants, and protect the manufacture Of beet root
sugar. Each of these classes considers itself to be
very Ill used, and the government IS IN sad dilemma
between the two.
The merchants OF Hayre have sent in another pc
tUOn LOT tne enlargement ana aWenOratOn OF tncu
port Their case is indeed hard one. Many of the
shipowners in England have declared that they will
not send any vessels 10 Hayre, al any rate of
freight as q month sometimes passes before they can
get their srn to unload although the port charges are
higher at Havre than Of any other French port Thus
Havre which from its position might become almost
eq,al 10 Liverpool alllts best prospects stake.
