Monies, the elder gentleman, on hearing
his own language spoken by Mr.. Meade
threw hls arms around him, who, thinking
st such time, from the by no means gen

ton was any thing but aniieahle, presented
a loaded pistol TO the old genileman's face

The negroes were intending 10 go to sea
that night, as they had good supply OF
provisions, and had refiled their casks with
water at CuIIoden. But for their provi-
Dental rescue by Capt. Gedney and his
officers, we have cause 20 believe that the
lives Of these two men must have inevita-
bly, been sacrificed, and the remainder OF
the cargo DESTROYED. The two Spanish
gentlemen, as we'll as the Consul from
Boston, are DESTROYS thai Capt. Gedney
and his fellow officers and crew, should re-
ceive a liberal salvage. The Spanish min
lster has been written TO on the subject,
and meantime the Consul is awaiting his
advice. The negroes have all been taken
to New Haven, where they will be impri-
soned till the session of the Court in Sept.
The vessel is at the wharf, in New LON
don, discharging her cargo. The proha-
bility is that both vessel and cargo will be
sold al auction.

murder. And before discussing the right to
ny and execute them, let US briefly trace
heir short eventful history. About the

clipper, said to have been furnished with /
american cut registers, through some con-
'ivance on the part of the American Con- !
ulate at Havana. II
