All the party having been put on board at
Cadiz, the David Stewart was lowed out to sea
for distance Of nearly 200 miles, BY Neapol,
and left the ship with q fair wind from the east.
Scarcely, however, WAS the ship well awny from
the projection Of the cleaners guns, than tho
exiles, in body, came to the captain, desiverea
to him aprotcst against being carried 70 New
York, md called upon him to make tor the nrst
port he could reach in England The captain,
one-third Of whose freight had been retained as
demonstrated with their demand to have him
break his engagement, and ultimately refused.
They appeared TO acquicsce in his decision, or, at
least, pressed their demand no further that eve
ming; but the next morning it vas again re-
newcd, and in more decided and threatening
tembrini, had shipped with the captain in Cadlz,
aud signed articles as seaman. Up to that
morning he had done his work with the rest Of
The crew. But when the assembtagc waited
upon the captain, be made his appearance n
the uniform Of mate OF one Of the Gal-
way line Of steamers-a handsome blue
froek coat, with bright gilt buttons, gold
bnt it turned ont that be was the son OF Luigi
Scttembrini, who, hearing Of his fathers condi-
tonal pardon, and Of his destination, left for
Spain, and resorted to the ruse ne have MENTION
ed to join him. The captain Of the ship believes
TINT be WIS despatched By the 1talian society Of
London to aid the prisoners in the course they
subsequently took. The e1iles stated that they
lad 4 navigator in their party, and that eyen If
they had to take the ship out Of the hands ofthe
Captain and crew, they would be able to sail her
without their assistance. They represented to
the Captain that they had been two months Mt
sea, many Of them being old, and all with con-
stitutions more or less enfeebled BIZ an imprlson-
Aufx L.. could
be torture 10 them all, and death perhaps to
some. They contended also that, being under
the American flag, they we're free, und had no
right to be taken anywhere but where they chose.
These arguments backed up by the preponder-
ance Of physical force the exiles being s1ty-si1,
while the crew WIS but seventeen, and the mani
fest determination ofthe former to resort to c1tre-
mites to carry cut their intention, compelled
the captain to yield, and turn the vessels hend
northward. They were temperate and polite in
manner, but about their determination there
could be no mistake. They set guard, Of
threes or fours in turn, to Keep watch over the
compass, and see that the ships head was kept
in the direction Of the haven they looked for.
The weather was battling and the passage was
tedious. The captain intended making for
Cork, but missed the harbor in fog. and had
got is fur Us Baliycotton, but having fallen in
with q Cork pilot beat back again so that ut
length, after 4 vogage Of II days, the ship an
chored in the man-ofwnr roads. As fast US
possible the Whole band rot themselves con-
veycd ashore to Queenstown, and testified in
the most lively manner their joy Mt being Mt
lust assured IF freedom. The enthusiasm of
some rose to such pitch that they actually
kissed tile soil on which they first planted foot
as frccmeu. Some Of them state that their
sight has grown dim from the: length Of time
they have been in prison, and some seem to
have grown rather prematurely gray; but as
far man 1h1 f,,3y fhoro ,r1a mt IN
their appearance anything to indicate their has-
ing endured peculiar hardships.
