be deprived of one of The greatest luxuries Of the
table.-Upon this sandy foundation he then pro-

asks if mince pies can be made without brandy, |
Now, to prove TIE affirmative ofthis question. is,

II is scarcely necessary to observe, that clcanl-

The practice Of sleeping in an apartment which is
occupied during the day, is extremely improper.
Perfect cleanliness and sufficient free ventilation
cannot, under such circumstances, be preserved es

becomes constantly more pitiated aud uitcge,her

While loo great degree of caution cannot be

Extraordinary Case

OF Abduction of White GirLs from this ely
A very painful rumor has reached in relation
to the kidnapping Of snme fifteen or twenty young
white womcn from this city, and Of their cap, v,y
among their native chiefs the slave coas, of
Africa. For the las, two years several vessels have
left this rot whose appearance was anything tu,
mercantile, and general rumor called them pirates,
some came the ruth, and rightly called them
slavers 1t is said that of hcse vessels assumed
the character Of a passenger packet, bound to New
Orleans and H,vsna, aud the Captain, by the aid
Of person well known in this city. went to the
Points, and also to the other infected districts of
city, and addrcs ling themselves 10 the best look
ing sirls' rendered them free passsg :, and even
went so far as TO give them new dresses, tiinkels
&c. The poor girls were taken on board in the
stream in detcchmcn,s, and every thing ven
them to render their position comfortable, and
mted 10 the care Of n nation, who assumed the
character Of the captains wife. Thus freished, the
vessel left our waters and reached Havana in few
days. There the un-us ,ccting g'ls were informed
that they could not then land, because the author-
ties the island had ordered the vessel to he quar-
antined al Mantanzis. In few days she siilcd ap-
parently bound for Mantanzs but in truth her sails
were spreal for the coast Of Afnca on a shaving
expedition. The length of the voyage created some
uneasness, which, however. was qleted by the
good ussge and continued frolic Of the whole party
On their reaching the coast, preparains having
been made for their arrival, they were sent on
shore. and, a. the painfu rumor says, they were
changed by these ubducto with the chiefs, fr
slaves, and one young white woman was e1 ch lng,d
for fifty prime negroes. The whole patty was thus
instantly sent into the interior of Africa as the
slaves Of the chiefs, perhaps never 10 hear from
their own land again. This account is said to have
reached this city by the capture Of one Of the war
parties, in which two Of the white girl. were, who
were owned by the chief and who gave letter To
be sent to the coast, nan atng the manner Of their
abdu ion and captivity. We irus, that this letter
may turn out a fabrication. because We would hupe
that the accursed love Of gold has not dven any of
our sailors to such an Infamous and dabolicsl
traffic as that Of poor unfortunate women. At the
time these vessels were leaving, a rumor Of the
kind was sAoat, but it was thought rather idle. aud
We sincerely trust that this whole matter may be
only one Of Madam RumuT's brood.
