A "SQUABBLEn AT SEA.

Captain Scott, Of the schooner Catharine, arrived
this morning from ST. Jago de Cuba, gives the fol-
lowing account Of strange proceeding on the part
Of French naval ofhcer-which, perhaps, the said
officer will hear Of by and by, to his discomfort:
On the morning Of sailing from ST. Jago, and
within gun-shot Of the Moro Castle, the schooner
Catharine met by the French war -steamer Ton
nerre, from ST. Domingo, bound in. She passed at
first considerably out Of hang distance, and not
much nearer than she was 10 half a dozen other
vessels which had come out in company.
After she had run in about a mile and received a
pilot, close to the shore, she was observed to back
round and manGuyre some time, and at intervals
came near, and hailed in the following words: "You
id rascal, hoist your flag" The answer was
that orders given in such insulting language would
not be obeyed Other abusive phrases followed
and threats were repeatedly made to fire into her
unless il was Immediately done.
The boat with Lieutenant was twice sent
on board with message, that, unless the schooner
set her flag, az the force at the steamers command
would be used TO make her do il; that her command
er had the power to send the schooner TO the bot
tom, and that he would do it. To all Of which the
same answer was returned, the second time in wri-
ting, follows:
'FTo the commander of the French war steamer
'SIE At the first salutation you called me "a
id rascal Until you apologize for such lam
guage, will not hoist my flag.
Respectfully,
ANDREW SCOTT,
"Mnster Of schooner Catharine at New York, of
the Moro, st. Jago de Cuba, 18th May, 1886"
About an hour was thus passed, during which
time the steamer laid the schooner's bows

dience, and the officers and crew Of the Catharine
unfolding the captain in his decision.
The wind was very light from the eastward; the
schooner was kept on her course, going one or two
knots, and the crew continued their work Of wash
ing decks which they had been engaged in. At last
after some words of Cancellation on both sides, the
apology was offered and the salutation made.
The language at first used by the captain Of the
steamer was broken English aferward the converse.

After the C. had passed the Moro her flag had been
hauled down so that the gait topsail might be set
which it in,erfered with.
This was done about twenty minutes before the
steamer came up, but no such, nor any explanation
was given, only the intention of insulting his flag
which her captain charged was denied. Excepting
a Spanish schooner no other vessel in sight had
her flag set.

posed to be signals Of communication with the
shore, and could not be understood as meant for
the schooner, and when she came near 1t was
thought she wanted to put letters on board or ask
for some information.

DiscnAReE OF BiBI,--Babe, for several year
under sentence Of death for piracy, from time to
time respited by Presidents Tyler and Polk, was
receotly pardoned by the latter. As Babe was in
dcted fr several other offences, including murder,
in addition to that Of which he was convicted, u
was decided by the court that the pardon did not
extepd to these, and Babe was remanded to await
trial on such indictments. Yesterday the district at
torney OF the United States court in New York, read
communication from the Secretary Of State,
which, though claiming the power of tho President
to pardon before conviction suggested the proprieiy
OF entering nole prossgui lhe remaining indlot-

NEW BooKs.-A Discourse Of the Baconi.

NEW BOOKS.-A Discourse Of the Baconi-
~ an Philosophy; by Samuel Tyler Of the Mary
land bar, p. p. 1926: Frederick Maryland, 1896
This is the only systematic development Of the
Baconian philosophy ever attempted. The author
has anticipated Mr.. Nell in the most important Of
his logical views, set forth in his system of logic,
lust reprinted in this country Mr.. Tyler had pub
lished these views in the Princeton Review long be-
fore Mr.. Millss book appeared in England. Mr.
TYLER, and not Mr. Mills is entitled to the credit Of
first promuga,ing these views. The scope, however,
of Mr. Tyers book is entirely different from that of
Mr.. Mis's, and embraces a much larger field. An
outline of this book was published two years ago
under the same title.

As literary organs they stand far in advance OF any

political complexion of each is marked by dignity
candor and forbeaance not often found In works OF
party character.
They embrace the views of the three great parties
in Engand-whig, tory, and radical. "Blackwood"
and the "London Quarterly" are tory; the "Edin-

ical. The "Foreign Quarterly"is purely literary,
being devoted principally to criticisms on foreign

The prices of the reprints are less than one-third

equally well got up they afford all that advantage TO
