The melancholy duty devolves upon me of announc
ing to the Department the un'imey death of Passed

Acting Master Of the ffisate Congress.
This officer was asssssnated IN Friday evening, The
18th inst about o'clock in the town Of Mahon, while
on his return 10 the ship.
This foul and cruel murder has been committed
without any known proyocaton, and its very wanton

his numerous and warmly attached friends and mess
mates.
Every exeron is being made by the civil authorities
but no trace has yet been discovered Of the peperaor
Of this horrid deed.
The deceased received three stabs with knife in the
left breast enc Of which pierced his heart, causing in
slant death. His mortal remains were inferred this
morning at the American burial ground with the usual
