vessel was about six miles on the larboard quar-
ter when we could well precrive her to be a
large steamer under all sail, and making no use
of her steam power. AT mon; lat. BY observa-
ton sid. 24m. 36s. long. by chronometer 4Od.
2Cm., she was fast sailing to leeward at p.
m. she was scarcely perceptibe on the horizon;
soon after the wind shifted To ENE, NE, NNE
N, WNW, and w, blew strong with an agita-
| ted sea; this continued until the Sd of May;
when the weather became finer and the wind
veered from w to VS. w and SW, which
broughtus to the Tagus on the 9th inst.
N. B. The steamer had three masts; did
not show her colors, or make any signal; nor dn
we show any. She was going easily with all
her sails set, making no use of her machinery,
and was using every endeavor TO beat TO wind
ward, but was making much lee war the funnel
was painted While, and we have a confused ide%
that the vessel was painted with white streak.
The Times of the 26tb, ia its money article
] remarks as follows:
at seems to be matter of great doubt with
those conversant with such affairs, whether the,
steamer alluded to in the Lisbon letters received
this morning was really the President and the
| lack Of all positive identity increases these
doub,s, besides fresh one raised respecting the
color of her funnel One account states that it
was white an other that the log says 'not cei taT
as to the color Of the funnel" but this would not
prove material were other satisfactory in
formaiib1 furnished as TO the bearings Of the
vessel. 1t is necessary, however, to state that
the President had not white funnel. AT Loyd's
II is considered extremely doubtful whether the
vessel seen was the President, and it is thought
more likely to refer to the Dee Steamer whch ar
rived on the 10Th inst; from the West Indies,
while indeed the fact Of the President being atf
business in the loom, augurs but little chance OF
her safety"

This measure seems To- be demanded by public
opinion in France. The N. Y. American
says ave have information from private
source, on which we fully rely. but which We
are not at liberty to name now, that the Adolf
iioh of Colonial Slavery will be introduced into
the French Chambers by the Ministry before
the present session closes. and that the question
will be so well supported therein there can be-
but little doubt that the cause will be much adj
e vanced."

II ARRIVAL OF FOREIGNERs.--In one day lass
l. week more than six hundred steerage passen-
e gers arrived in New-York from Europe. An
I English paper says thirty vessels have sailed
, from Cork this season, conveying 1862 emf
+ grants to New South Wales, and across the
r Atlantic. OF the total number, 1881 sailed
e for America, comprising Ala to New York,
e 1910 to Quebec and 2497 for st. Johns Large
o numbers were daily embarking for this coun-
e try at other ports. All those who embarked
: for Canada, or nearly all, in the end find their
. way to the United States. The destiny of a.
bout one third of them may be learned by APP

! A PIRATE CAPTURED.-New Orleans pa
pers of the 18th inst. contain the particulars of
the capture of piratical schooner, with her
d crew, at place called the Chandelier, off Old
t Harbor Key, on the 29th of May. Captain
: Taylor, of the U. S. boat lizard, received in
D formation of the pirate from fisherman, pro-
ceeded to the place, found the schooner, and
boarded her. The master was absent, but a
man whom he found on board, with six others,
said that he and the crew were out for the pur-
pose of fishing, and that the captain had a H.
cense. Captain Taylor returned to the lizard,
but not feeling satisfied, he, the next morning,
got under weigh with bis vessel, and on ap-

board, and swim towards him; as he passed
him rapidly the man shouted, Captain Taylor

ed that his name was Thompson, that he was
kidnapped in Mobile; that the schooner was
piraticaI vessel, and he could show where the

ed near, and on going on board, the arms were
found slowed away in the bread lockers. She
was then taken possession of and the two YES
sells proceeded to the Bazile, where they arrivs
ed on the LIST instant with seven prisoners, who
were put in irons and strongly guarded, subject
to the order of the Collector. On board the
: schooner we're found the flag of the pirate, and
a copy of the articles of agreement entered IN
