These pirates come from the islands of Mndon and

During the last month there was an insur
lection at this place. caused principally by one Of the
old Catholic priests, who altered his belief, and began
to preach IN Manila city, but soon bsnished
from that place, under penalty Of death should he
enter 1t again. From thence he went to the native
villages, where there was quartered a regiment Of
soldiers, and began to preach, and soon obtained
many followers. The Governor of Manila forth
with sent regiment to destroy the town and people
Gins regiment was composed mostly of soldiers
drafted from This city, The moment they arrived
they turted to and killed all their officers and with
the assistance OF the old priests followers marched
to Manllla and during the night scaled the walls of
one of the largest fortssecured all that were in it,
and then blew up one end of it.
After that they proceeded to the magazine which
had but one entrance, and that secured by seven
iron doors. They succeeded in forcing three of them
when much TO their surprise the fort was retaken by
the Governors troops, who marched into the fort
and after little skrmish took them all prisoners

gled 10 death.
Last Saturday there was a tremendous fire at
this place, which consumed about zoo buidings and
came near destroying the whole city. Ii is painful

The Chief Magistrate who administers me
Government of such vast nation as ours, can
not be expected, nay, it would be d scidedly
wrong, TO continue in places OF trust and
power. men who are decidedly hostile to
the great principles which govern his official
conduct That the question Of Bank or no
Bank has been, and is yet, the principal line OF
division between Republicans and Federallsts,
no one will deny and that the present Chief
Magistrate is uncompromisngy opposed 10 an
unconstitutional moneyed power is equally GER
tain Hence it follows that justice to himself,
and duty to his country, will not permit him, as
the Head of Affairs, to sustain those who war
against the principles and policy of his Admin
is;ralion, or those who, whether insidiously or
openly, render comfort and aid to the common
enemy.
Yet ii is easy to conceive how the President
of the United States may occasionally be be-
tr,yed into error by the misrepresentation OF
selfish men, relative to distant appointments.
Washington and jeff, rson were not--indeed
no President has been, exempt from such
a.noyances. Where such cases have arisen,
or may arise, we think we are warranted
in saving, from knowledge Of the gene
rous impulses of the Presidents heart, that
he will feel more qualification in repairing
any injuries, than in reaping the greatest politi
cal benefits arising from the infection of severity
through the instrumentaliy of others. 1t is ten
thou sand times more noble to repair wrong
than to persevere in succes ful injustice.
