DAILY CRESCENT.

hNOIHEk hENDI.I fION IN ' kEELt Ella. by "A
letter dated Caracas, 10Th Of May, which we
find in the Philadelphia American, We learn
that another outbreak has occurred in Vene-
zuela. courier arrived at Caracas On the
29th from Valencia, bringing intelligence Of
revolutionary outbreak at that place. The
revolutionists have force Of 1000 strong, head
ed by expert military leaders 1t is supposed
that they will march direct to Caracas, and
that they will meet with but little or no oppo-
sition. The letter adds
President Monagas is completely isolated ;
his party tthe LiberaD having entirely aban-
doned him The Council of Government have
invested him with extraordinary powers and
granted him permission to raise FIVE thousand
troops, and a loan Of FIVE hundred thousand dol
lars. Up to this time, however, he has not been
able to obtain either. lie has for the past
twenty days been shut up in his own house,
where he receives his cabinet ministers three
times week, and dispatches the affairs Of the
country.
''The oligarchical or Paez party have nothing
to do with the present outbreak 1t is simply a
movement Of the liberal or democratic party, the
object Of which is to displace the present incum-
bent and hand the reins OF government over to
one of their own number"
The BRITISH FRIGATE LEANDER-We learn
that this fine vessel, now lying in the harbor OF
Newi ork, is not the frigate that was SO well
known on the coast many years since. That
ship is no longer in existence. The present
d" Leander is vessel of nearly 200O tons, built
at Portsmouth, by Blake, in 1849, mounts 80
guns, (six inch shell guns, the remainder 81
pounders) and has been for length of time a .
tached to an experimental squadron, consisting
Of the ''Albon,' OF 80 guns, the sArethusa -
and % Phaetou,' frigate5 of so guns each, and
several steamers, cruising on the coasts Of Eng
land, Spain, and Portugal. She is one Of the
- crack frigates of the British navy.
The old g Leander, when commanded by
Captain Whitby, in 1865, fired into coaster Of
Sandy Hook, killing one Of her crew, nance
Pierce. The names of the Leanier'' and Capt
Whitby, with that Of the murdered Pierce, run.
through the country, from one end of it to the
other, and were only forgotten when year aftel

sapeake,' of 36 guns, off Cape Henry.
The old s. Leander' was again in our waters
in the winter of 1874 10, making her appear
ance in Boston bay, in company with the ''New
castle and "Acasta frigates, under Commo
dore Collier; and when the gallant Commodor,
Stewart sailed from Boston on his second cruise
in the " Constitution this squadron followed
him off the coast

ships Of war Cyane" and g Levant," and pro
ceeded with her prizes to Port Praya, in th
| island Of St. Jago, one of the Cape de Verbs
| They had been there but day or two, whel
three large vessels were seen over the fog stand
| ing into the bay, which were soon discovered t
| be men of-war and enemies. Commodore Stew
art gave immediate orders for his ships to Gu
cables and be off, and in few minutes the
were under press Of sail standing out Of tn
bay, the enemy in pursuit. The enemy game
upon the prize vessels, and signal was made fo
them to change their course. The "Constitu
tion' and "Cyane" made their escape, but tt
g Levant was chased back into the harbor
Port Praya, and recaptured by the old g Lear
der " Newcastle" and ''Acasta'
The old Sc Leander' was at the bomba rdmer
of Algiers, under Lord Exmouth, in 1916, ,whei
she was most roughly handled during that tel
rible conflict, and suffered as much or more tha
any other vessel on that occasion She was

and about 400 tons [Boston Journal
