MurINY Y MURDER.

The New Orleans papers of the Attn IN
slant, contain the following account Of u
horrible revolt at sea, by a number OF
slaves ; the particulars OF which, as here
detailed, are said TO be confirmed by "a
letter ftom the Commander of the vessel
on board Of which the slaves were EN-.
baiked:
"Tae bri. Creole, Capt. ENsoN, OF
Richmond, bound for for New Orleans,
with a cargo Of tobacco, one huDd ed
ard thirty five slaves, aud four or five
passengers, was on the 7th uhimo taken
possession Of by the slaves, who rose and
mutmicd- killing and wounding several
white persons. 1t appears that, on the
7th uIt. al s p. NJ. the brig was hove To
~ the belrf that she was approaching
Ahaco. The next day, after the passen
grss aud crew not IN duty bad retired, al
abou, hali-past Q =. NJ. the slaves mutt
MED and murdered a passenger named
HEwrLL, owner Of \ portion OF the slaves,
by stabbiDg hum with a Bowie knife
they wounded the captain aud one OF
the hands dangerously, the chief mate
and another OF the hands severely. Blu
lutte defence could be made, as the vic
tack, aud had but one musket On board,
while the slaves were armed with pistols,
kniy, and bludgeons, made by cutting up
handspikt S. There is reason TO believe
thai the whole plot was arranged before
they left Richmond.
Having obtained possession OF the
vessel, they broke open the trunks and
rausacked the whole cargo. They spared
the lives of the mate, passengers and "a
part Of the crew, On condition they should
be taken immediately to Abaco, an Eng
lish island. Forced to obey, the crew
set sail and arrived at Nassau, N. p. on
the 9th ult. On landing, the American
Consul had the captain and two of the
men Immediately taken on shore and their
wounds dressed, while every attention
was paid to the wounded on board. The
Consul likewise requested the Governor
of N. Providence to place a guard on
boa ri 10 prevent the slaves from going
ashore, as he well knew that II this were
not done, it would be impossible to secure
guilty perpetrators of the murder
The request of the Consul was granted.
ana IN Investigates OF the affair was con-
by two magistrates of Nassau.
the capt in also took the testimony Of
the passengers and crew. Nineteen
were identified as having %pa,tici-
in The mutinv aud murder. They
placed in confn, ment until further
orders, the Governor refusing 10 have
sent 10 America under the circum-
stances. The remainder were liberated
by her Majesty's authorities, on the ground
that the slaves must be considered and
as passengers, having the right to
land III boats from the shore whenever
they thought proper. The captain is do

had not done with him, and on again visiting
Buffalo, or rather on his return, he must be
again arrested, and by an accumulation of the
most gross perjury, and against the most d.
rect and respectable evidence in his favor,
thrown into prison, where he must not only
abide the uncertain effects Of the law, but the
will of the mob.
He has not deserved such treatment from
the hands of any portion of the American peo-
pie. He had no quarrel with them,--well
and favorably known to many of them, liberal
and courteous to all with whom he had deal
ings, could he have expected the Government
and People of great Nation would look COOL
" on, while his liberty, and even his life, was
was made the sport of vile conspiracy? Yet
such has been the case. But he makes no pit
iful complaint, he calls for no undue sympathy;
his case is simply that of an injured and insul-
ted British subject; he has claimed the interfer-
ence and protection of his Government, which
has been promptly afforded, as far as possible;
and, come what may, be breads not the issue.
Still, his situation is a very unpleasant one,
confined in miserable jail, suffering in health,
and debarred from society; and why! Can any
frightened American answer without blush for
their country? The laws would allow him to
breathe the air of freedom in his own land Of
liberty and law, but people would not, and il
seems they are the higher power. Should he
have a fair trial, and the character of the wit
nesses on both sides be taken into account,
have no fear for his acquittal, and l hope such
will be the case; but if otherwise, what then

The U. S. brig Argus, commanded by f.C.
Wederstrant, was during the embargo in the
winter of lSO7-S, cruising off the eastern,
coast to prevent infractions of the law. One
dreadful stormy night, the tempest bowling
fearfully, the rain descending in torrents, an
iron bound coast under her lee, scarce hope
of escape from shipwreck existed. and less
lively and gallant craft, Gor she was OF the
most perfect model and worked like pilot
boat,) must have persisted with all on board.
In the height of the tempest, (and when "wha,t
man could do was done aready,'O Mr.: S. went
below, opened his chest, coolly took out his
his best apparel, and dressed himselfas if for a
dinner party. P, who saw him, enqulred why
he thus put on rig in such weather. To
which he calmly repIied:"I expect we shall go
ashore in few minutes, and ifthese long shore
fellows find man respectfully dressed, they
will probably give him decent burial" -
The noble little vessel weathered that gale,
and the writer made many pleasant cruise in
her afterwards. She was captured by the Pei
