RoBBED.-We are told that man was
robbed on Sunday night of 500, while
asleep on the benches in front of the Bank
Exchange. The particulars we have not
learned.
Men should be extremely cautious how
they behave themselves when they have
money about their clothes If man is

and Freedom to the Slave, will reflect lit
tie on this wise and Statesman like princi
pie, it can do them no harm. The motives
of the Abolition party may seem to bear an
outward gloss of good, but is it not well to
reflect on the probable consequences of the
success of their schemes, and to turn over
the records of the past for some evidence of
the behavior of liberated slaves, under like
circumstances If this suggestion meet with
any favor in their eyes, We would commend
to their consideration the following passage
translated from BARRUEL's History of the
French Clergy, and published in l196-al-
most at the very time of the events it relates:
.Au officer named Ormes., says a witness
(at the trial of Carrier and his fellows at
Nantes) to ask our assistance in favor OF
five pretty white women whom the company
of Negroes. had reserved for purpose easily

had lodged the women The poor creatures
were crying and groaning; their shrieks
wei to be heard at half mile distance.
The party ordered the door to be opened
which was at last done They then deman-
ded the women. No; replied the blacks;
they are our slaves; we have earned them
dear enough, and you shall tear them away
limb by limb if you have them. The bru-
tality of the blacks would not permit them
to listen to reason; they prepared for the
defense of their prey, when the party, al
ways guided by prudence, preferred retiring
to avoid slaughter"
Two days after, continues the witness, the
negroes, satiated with their captives, left
them. One of these women, the handsomest
in the eyes of the blacks, had been obliged
to endure the approaches of more than a
hundred of them She had fallen into a
kind of stupor, and was unable to walk or
stand. The whole five white women were
shot soon after. Hurrah for Fremont
