We 6nd no limitation to surprise and astonish-
ent from Incidents Of every twentyfcur hours. un-
der our present enlightened, energetic, and honest
government, incidents that cannot be accounted
for nationally, without duplicating the integrity Of
our chief, or that Of his civil, political, or military
family; while we find no way for accomplishment Of
the frauds BY those most intimate and confidential
advisers, Of which his brother is chief without his
thorisation Of the Marquis.
The last case, from its being so near to
ns, ia very remarkable, the particulars of which
l have in full from H. J. Mo, and an
engineer that has just returned to the city
from an estate in the immediate vicinity Of
ihe nefarious transaction. II. d. n. brig Of war
Espiegle, cruising to westward o few days since,
and running the coast well aboard, saw vessel at
anchor in the bay Of Ortigosa, which looked sus-
.picious. and boarding boat was ordered inside to
examine her, and she proved to be SLAYER evil
sienty abandoned after the cruiser hove In sight,
at anchor in sort of lagoon debouchiDg into the
bay and almost within sight OF the residence Of the
chief Official of the district, without whose know
ledge and consent she could not, by any pos
tibility, have arrived there. The officers and
u prize crew from the Espiegle remained in
possession the evening Of the day and night
Df her seizure, and there was no person or
appearance Of any one having been previously
in charge OF her, after abandonment by her crew
and officers.
A Spanish brig Of war was in the ofing when tn
capture was made, and the day following she was
boarded by a boat from the shore, having the Cap
lain OF the district on board, who communicated to
abe commander his version Of the matter, declaring
that he had made seizure Of the vessel az SLAYER
two days previous, and that he had captured also
part Of the cargo of Africans (two hundred and vel

brig Of war Nervion, accompanied by this superior
authority Of the district, went on board Of
the Espeigle,. and claimed the SLAYER as
a previous Spanish capture, with reitera-
lion of the story of the captain Of the Portdo; and
The British officer was goose enough to give up his

until abe might have made another voyage, but for
his timely discovery. Neither would the negroes

It has just been ascertained here, through the
palace correspondence with the new Spanish Minis
ter at Washington, that the difficulties with the
United States and Spain are fast approaching adj
jnstment, owing to the " wholesome fear of the
Intervention Of Great Britain and France in
1ehalf Of Spain" upon you. These random shots
of Spanish diplomacy are very efficient in this
community, where it Is @ common cratic error to
doubt ones own identity-a trouble that has come
