forenold. In the course Of the night, the
slaves had rified the vessel, broken open
all the trunks, and decked themselves out
IN such clothing as they could find.
On Tuesday morning. al eight o'clock,
the brig arrived at Nassau. We make |
the following extract from the letter of
Mr.. J. L. Bacon, American Consul at
Nassau: ~ 9s@. s.st
!" The American Consul, Immediately
after the arrival of the Creole. had the
captain and two of the men taken on
shore, and their wounds dressed, and also
those On board, to prevent the slaves from
gong en- shore, he well knowing,i this
was not done, it would be inpossiblesto
secure those guilty of the murder. This
was complied with. and an investigation
ordered to be taken by two magistrates
The Consul also has taken testimony Of
the passengers and crew. Nineteen
slaves were Identified as having taken an
| active part in the mutiny and murder, and
confined until farther orders, the Cover
nor refusing to send them to America for
The present, aud the remainder of the
slaves, with the exception Of FIVE, were
| liberated.
by the interference Of her Maiesty's
subjects ane the authorities Of the colony,
they were considered and treated as pas
tsengers, with the right to go on shore in
boats whenever they pleased while the
Consul contended they We're, under the
circumstances of the case, as much a por-
ton OF the cargo as the tobacco, and that
the British government had not the right
10 interfere in any manner that would pro-
cure their Liberation. -*.s -:.5 @....#

slowly. The other wounded are doing
well. So On their liberation a vessel was

number Of them have eutered their names

Beyond this there is but little to state.
After the arrival of the Creole at Nassau,
the slaves Acknowledged that a Baptist
minister at Norfolk, named Bourne, had
: advised them with regard to their course,
aud given them dir.ctions how TO proceed.
Mr. Goddard learned at Nassau that
Bourne had formerly resided there, and
had absconded, leaving his family. He
is an Eng!ishman, and about forty years
of age. 49,. ..s~..s.
Forty of the slaves on the Creole were
owned by Thomas McCargo of Rich

of Nc Cargo, and was we'll know in this
city. Three of the slaves were killed in
the ARRAY, and another died of his wound:

r ii We have some interesting particular:
in relation to the conduct of the BRITISH

4 Ischeme was resolved upon before the brie
lief Richmond, is evident from the fact
J. that The negroes boasted at Nassau tia
h they expected TO encounter the briggs Lons
Island and Orleans, uhich sailed from
Richmond IN company aoih the Creole

sets, are safe i@Pork A full Investigation
: of this case, we doubt not, will pfesen
some very strange developments.
