quote this definition for the purpose Of showing that under
the laws of Span in force in Mexico slavery held to be
against natural rghthereoe not derived from nature,
divine law, but founded in municipal law and only existing
by positive enactmenand by consequence that no agu-

that if not abolished person would carry slave to

The prosecution Of this service confirmed the
fact that the of the harbor and those OF the
mouth Of the Columbia approach each other within
u very short distances distance involving por-
tage at present almost impracticable for wagons.
A whal eboat hauled over it by Il dozen or 80 OF
Indians, without any great difficulty. IL is thought
that Shoalwater Bay is detained to become point
of material consequence in many respects. It's
average length (that is, OF the bay proper is some
twenty miles, and it's breadth some six or eight.
The bar too at its entrance, is understood to pre-
sent serious obstacle TO the admission of ships
of the largest class, at all seasons OF the year.
Bur one of the most remarkable features of this
place is, that ship may probably approach Baker s
bay, or Cape disappointment via its entrance,
within some Six or eight miles. ltabounds, how
ever, with sand banks, but there good channel
ways between them, and the whole sheet of water ID
as placid AZ summers lake. On leaving the CO.
lumba and coasting along TO the southwark, the
Commission touched off the Umpqua, and ascer-
tanned that its bar water was practicable for COM
mercial purposes, under certain circumstances.
Indeed, an American schooner was at the time ly-
ing at anchor in the river, and had reached her po-
sition without difficulty. The lands Of the Umpqua
valley described being even more fertile than
those Of the Willamette, and the proximity OF these
valleys is matter Of singular importance. Upon
the WHOLE we learn that the examinations OF the
Commission have proved highly interesting, and
we are certainly happy to observe that our Govern
ment is already engaged in the preliminary steps
towards fortifying Pacific possessions, and
availipg. itself Of their admitted advantages for
naval establishments

WHITE Boy KIDNAPPED by A NEono.-A few
days since young. man, about twenty years OF
age, went to the police office of the Third Munich
pality, and stated that when he about twelve
years old he was kidnapped from this city by free
coiored man named De Lise, and by him taken to
Attakapas, where, until short time ago, he was
made to work among negroes as a slave. The
young man said that his name was Adolph Archer;
that his parents residing in this city at the
time he was taken away; that he had brother
named Henry, and that the person who kidnapped
him now resides about twelve thirteen miles
from New Iberia, in this State. He further says,
that during the time that he the plantation
he was, in every respect treated as negro slave,
and sedulously shut out from all intercourse with
white persons, until he embraced an opportunity to
escape. The story of Adolph's wrongs having been,
to some extent made public in the Third Munich
pality, came to the of his brother Henry, who
sought out the long lost Adolph and welcomed him
to the endearments of a home. Henry is now en-
ployed in the office of the Swss consul and is, as
we learn, determined to seek out and bring to jug
tcc the black hearted kidnapper of bis brother.
