OUTRAGEs ON OUR FLAG--AN AMElcAN
SEAMAN lMPREssED.--The Passport
LMe. Sentinel furnishes the particulars
eta most fragrant offence, which it true,
will require the prompt & decided action
of our government.
The Sentinel says that from factswhich
have come to its knowledge, it is quite
satisfied that the brig Brookline, of that
port, owned by Jno. w. Bass, Esq and
commanded by Ambrose Spates, was
overtaken at sea on the 3 inst. by her
Majesty's steam frigate Columbia, & that
one of her crew was Eorcibly impressed
and carried on board the steamer. The
Brookline was bound from PASSPORT to
the West Tndies,and Capt. Spates did not
communicate with his owner after the
outrage. the Seminal had no means ofas-
pertaining the particulars. But Captain
John Winchester of the Julian Ann, has
informed it, that on the third he came to
anchor at West Quoddy; where he found
the Brookline, and was told by Captain
Spates that the Columbia had boarded
him and impressed one of his seamen.--
As the Julia Ann was bound into port, and
belonged TO the same owner, Capt. Win
chester spared hand to supply the place
Of the one abducted from the deck of the
Rroekline. The Sentinel was informed
alsO.by apt.John Spates, of the schooner
Gen. Foster, that the outrage was seen by
him, and that il was committed outside Of
Campobello, in q calm, and when the
Columbia and Brookline were of SCOTS
head.-Mo. RepgbIicGn.

Late From Texas.

The. Austin Democrat, OF the 29tk ult.
says:
Mr.. COchrane, of Capt. Henry McCul-
loch's company ofrangers, arrived in this
place. on Monday last, bringing some im>
portant Indian news,s if it be true. He
stated that he had been in company with
the Wacos for several days, prior to his
crossing Little river, on his return TO the
settlements, by whom he was informed,
that twas, the avOwed intention OF. the
Camanebes and Tonkaways, who are now
said to be hunting together, to commence
open hostiltlessagainst the Americans, so
soon as the intended boundary lime shall
have been designated aud marked OUT
He also stated that he saw3on his route,
indians belonging to several of the differ
ent tribes, and the statement made the
Wacos was fully cOrroberated By them
all.
Maj. .Neighbors arrived in this city on
9Th inst, after an absence of twenty days,
nearly the whole Of which time was con.
sumed in an unsuccessful search for the
Camanches. HIS followed them more
than two hundred and fifty miles before he
abandoned the pursuit.
Mr.. Hudson, with about thirty men, had
been some one hundredsand fifty miles a.
bove San Antanie, and serious apprehen-
sions for his safety were entertained. He
has now returned in safety. The Indians
discover symptoms Of hostility. Santa
Anna rclesses to be still friendly. but
Buffalo Hump openly threatens war. They
have removed all their women and chill
dren out of the. way. Thisis considered
bad omen"
Great fears are entertained that the In.
tiianswill at once commence open hostility
upon the settlers.

A Cute AuctiOneer.

Ii is well known trick of auctioneers to gull the
s'green uns" by now and then offering the buyer
of an article certain sum for his bargain. Mr. S.,
pedlar from the east, who was emphaticay "a
whole team and big dog under the wagon in the
auctioneering line, practiced this r9tsc with brilliant
success in small village in Michigan. Among the
works that composed his stock big lot of Quar-
to Bibles printed on miserable dingy paper, hardly
fit TO do up groceries in, and bound in sheepskin.-
The first evening the sale exceedy dull. He
had determined to have S. piece, although the cost
was hardly one dollar-but the highest bid for the
first copy was but So No sooner was it knocked
down at this price, than the purchaser offered
fifty cents to leave it. The offer accepted and
the tin'' forked over. Z" A dollar saved is dollar
earned,' chuckling said the auctoneer, winking to
his clerk, as he replaced the volume on the shelf
Instantly, the whole assembly burst forth into loud
and unanimous cry for "Bbles.''-In vain were
mi sceaneous works offered of every description
Literature, science, politics, and the fine arts were
at discount; Bibles, and Bibles only, were wanted.
Not the ''rst red cents of bid could be got any
thing else-not even on hymn books, theological
voumes-"B Bibles! B;Jlssi" was bawled by every
tongue. But the knight of the hammer was mex
orabe. "No! gentlemen said he, "not another
Bible shall offer you tonight Tomorrow night,
if you have a mind to start the works at SIS, which
is about half the actural cost, will put them up and
risk it's Next evening, the sale scarce begun,
when the cry for Bibles!'' echoed and re-echoed
through the ROOM 1t seemed as if the village of
Y-had been wrapped in the gloom of Pagan
ism, and all the people were now seeking the lamp
of life. The copies were Immediately started at a
high price, and the whole stock got off at six
dollars each.

The CAPITAL is represented as being in q state

some of them are still suffering from diseases
contracted while on service in Mexico.

Before the assemblage rose. the President Of

EVENING.
Notwithstanding the absence of many who,
residing at distance, found it necessary to
leave after the exercises of the day were con-
cluded, their place was more than supplied by
those from the village who had been prevented
from attending during the day, and o'clock
saw independence Island glittering with lights,
and crowded with happy faces. An address,
defeating of the Island, to the use of the Peo-
pie of Ypsilanti, as the spot where without dis
tinction of rank or party all should meet as
equals, was pronounced by Rev. II. p. Poacers;
after which, the various officers of the Day,
favorite names in the Army, Navy, and civil
Office, received repeated rounds of cheers, and
the multitude finally dispersed, until the return
of another Anniversary.
We must not omit to mention the splendid
addition to the evening performances, made by
the Juveniles, in the way of fire works etc, the
display of which greatly heightened the amuse-
ment, and pleasure of the occasion. THE Ora
ton, and Dedicatory Address, will soon be pub
lished.

FOrty-Six Days in the Tee.

Capt. Allen, of the ship Albion, from Green
ock for Quebec, TINS describes his adventures
in the ice last April and May, in letter in the
Montreal Herald of the 9th inst:
''To my great modification we again fell in
with the ice above Cape Ray, and on the 18th,
the wind coming round from the SSW. we got
stuck fast-the BelIeisle and Erromanga both
in company. We were dragged by the ice "a
long the coast Of Newfoundland, nearly as far
as the Straits of Belleisle, and remained fast,
driven about by every wind, until the oath of
May, when gale of south wind having loosen
ed the ice, we got out into clear water, after
having been detained in it 46 days. The Err
romanga got away on the 18th, and the Belle
isle on the 18th. We were frozen into solid
field, and during all the time we were in the
ice there never was break near US. The ice
turned us twice round the compass, and for
twenty-eight days there never was man at
our wheel. The ship was so fast bound that
the rudder would not move. We made three
attempts at cutting out, and you may conceive
how thick the ice was, when | mention that,
after all hands had been at work for three en-
tire days, they only managed to cut seven feet.
The weather was so cold | was afraid they
would all be laid up, as they were wet all the
time, and we were at length compelled to aban-
don the work in despair. ] cannot accuse my
self of any bad management in getting into the
ice, as everything was done for the best, and
when the wind came from the S w on the 26th
of April, we were in the heavy swell within
half mile of clear water, and if we had accom-
plished that half mile, we would have been
through all the ice, as two men who came on
board of us from sealing schooner the day
after, told us they had come from Byron Island,
and saw no ice till they came to the field they
were fast IN. l hope to get to Quebec to-mor-
row, and will proceed to Montreal without de-
law"
