Probable Rupture between the French
and English in the Pacific.

The Providence Journal contains two
letters from Tahiti, (Otaheite.) Society
Islands, from which it appears that a
serious misunderstanding has taken
place between the English and French
naval forces in that quarter, growing
out of the seizure of those Islands by the
latter. 1t seems that about the first of
February, the British Frigate Talbot,
Captain Thompson, arrived, bringing
letters to Queen Pomare, offering to pre-
serve the integrity of her government
against the encroachments of the French
if she desired. great meeting of ten
thousand persons Immediately took
place, who agreed, to man, in wishing
The Queen to allow them to go and pull
down the French protectorate flag; but
she would not allow it. That night,
however, the flag was hauled down and
the signal halyards were cut away. The

gate lying there, threatened to fire up
on the place ifthe flag was not restored,
and the Captain of the English frigate
threatened to fire on the Frenchman
the moment a shot was fired upon the
town. AS the tenor of the English let
ter TO Pomare was, that England would
protect her against. any foreign power
that should encroach upon her domin-
ions, and both frigates lay already for
battle; and as the queen and most ofthe
natives had fled to distant part Of the
island, there was no knowing how this
affair would end. A few days after, the
British frigate Vndictive, OF Sc guns
arrived, bringing presents 10 Queen
Pomare from Queen Victoria, and hav-

French had g1ined possession Of the is

Strange and Drea ffnl Murders. :
The Washington (Geo.) News pub
fishes the following extract Of a letter,
and vouches for the responsibility ofthe
writer. The letter is dated
COLUMBUS, Ga, july 10, 1843.s
|. II believe have room TO give you the
particulars Of one Of the most shocking g
murders have ever heard of, commit
ted in Barber county, Alabama, few
days ago. A Mrs. Gachett pronounced
Gasha) and her two daughters were Wis
tied on the day of the murder by Mr..
Brown and his wife-they took dinner,
and remained until late in the evening
with the old lady and her daughters
When they were about leaving they in
sisted that the Old lady should go home
with them and spend the night; she re-
fused, giving as reason that her
daughters would be left alone, and far
ther that all the money she had was in
the house. They however continued TO
urge her until she consented to accomp-
any them to remain one night. Shortly
after their departure, sick and weary
traveller rode up and begged permission
to stay the night. The two ladies said
they we're alone, and he could not stop.
He said he doubted whether he could ride
to the next house, and presuming they
were afraid Of him, he told them if they
would consent to let him remain, he
would take his room and suffer them to
keep the key. At this proposition they
consented, and the traveller soon went
to his room.
Some time during the night he was
awoke by a noise in the other room,
there being but two in the house. Con-
tinuing to hear some one moving about,
he got up, and went softly to the door
and,discovered man at the bureau ex-
amining the drawers. He hailed the in
dividual, who instantly drew knife and
made at the traveller, who, as he ap-
preached, shot him dead at his feet
The pistol alarmed the negroes; and
when they came up they went into the
ladies' room and found both of them Iy-
ing in their beds, with their throats cut,
and dead! The traveller, on inquiring
for their mistress, was taken to Browns
house. On meeting the old lady he told
her some one had murdered her daugh-
Iers, and that he had shot the villain
Mrs. Brown exclaimed, "you have kill |
ed my husband" and so it turned out;
The very person who had spent the day
with Mrs. Gachett had murdered her
