There are some interesting things 60
ing on at the mouth of the Rio GranRe.-
A New Orleans correspondent Of he Her
aid writes Nov. 5,h:)
The French and the rebels appear to
be much pleased in each others society
since the occupation Of Matam ras. At a
public dinner given recently, the presi-
dent, French (Mcxican) colonel gave
the toast. The Union of the Southern
Coufederacy AID Mexico" This was re-
sponded to With approval by nearly every
person present, VIII showed their aprre-
citation Of the sentiment Nv cheers, clap
ping of hands and waving o. has. while
the band struck up the "Boap;e Blue
Flag
Another correspondent says:
When General Mejia was known to be
advancing on Matamoras, and within day
or twos march, the foreigners, as gen-
eral thing, claimed protection of their re-
spective Consuls, and Mr Beldin, a for
nier resident OF Brownsville, Texas, claim
ing to be the rebel Consul, was recognized
as such by Cortinas, and Was permitted to
deliver certificates of rebel nationality.
"Straws,' these may be- showing how
tho wind blows, from France and Maxi
mi!ian toward jeff. Davis.

The committee on resolutions, through
Mr.. James Mackenzie, reported the follow
ing resolutions which were unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That the Democracy are op-
posed to the consolidation schemes of the
Administration; that we as Democrats have
ever been In favor of preserving the high
est liberty Of American citizens; that we
deny all doctrines that trench on the rights
Of States; and that while we are opposed to
secession, to unconditional surrender to re-
bellion, to dishonorablo peace, that would
disgrace ourselves and our children, we are
In favor Of peace that will restore the
Union as it was and leave the Constitution
rs 1t Is, In its spirit and purity, as deter
mined by the fathers of the Republic; and
that we honor the soldiers who have sus-
tanned by their blood these principles; and
that we oppose all changes Of the structure
Of the Government under the pretense OF
necessity, that denies to an American citi-
zen any rights heretofore guaranteed to
him by the laws of the States or the dele
gated powers of the Federal Government.
Resolved That we respect our gallant SOL
diers who have met the enemy on so many
bloody fields, and have fought for Constitu-
ton, laws and country, and that we shall
ever hold them in grateful remembrance
for their honorable deeds.
ResoEUed, That we have unutterable con-
tempt for the bad men who, under the pre-
tense Of patriotism, strive to create and
ferment domestic broils and violence; that
theman who gives aid aud comfort to home
violence and outrage Is neither brave man
nor good citizen, and is generally q dis
honest man, whom it wonld be gross flatte-
ry to call coward, and that such are the
worst enemies of free Institutions.

PORr Au PRINCE, Feb. q, 1e

PoRr Au PRINCE, Feb. q, 1854.
To the Editor of The Ne,o York Ne,cs. '
have to furnish you something startling,
if not new, in the calendar of crime. On
the 18th inst, there occurred here a public
execution. Eight persons, negroes and ne
crosses, were shot to death In the public
square. 1t is not this that will startle you,
but the crime for which they suffered death.
They had been convicted of stealing, killinq,
cooking, and eating children. This fearful
feast was held some fifteen miles from this
place, in the interior.
Your mind will possibly revert to the
history of the seige of Jerusalem, when
starving women ate their infants. But in
this case, the pangs of hunger had nothing
to do with the horrible deed. 1t was part
of a religious rite, ceremony ordained by
the feticism that prevails among the ne
groes of this island. This particular GUS
tom, it is said, was inaugurated in the time
of the Emperor Soulouque. An order of
Obeah worship was then established that
among its loathsome mysteries called for
human sacrifice to avert calamity and pro-
pitiate its idols. E a 8elL1a N7 Oil
OF course, these devilish rites are cele-
brated in secret and most of the horrors
that are perpetrated never come to light
In this case eight of the cannibals were de-
tected and brought to justice. They had
not only sacrificed children at their hideous
altars, but had gorged themselves with the
flesh and blood of the victims. One of the
negroes being questioned in prison, said
with leer that the children "were good,
tender, fingers best part" They went to
the place of execution shouting, laughing
and dancing, and defying the soldiers to
shoot them; for they insisted that the
Obeah priests would protect them against
the balls. They fell, however, at the sec
ond round, and, according to the custom,
the soldiers walked up to the bodies aud
fired third round with the muzzles al
most touching the quivering flesh. Twelve
negroes have since been arrested for the
same crime, and win probably undergo the
same punishment although the population,
incited by the 0beah priests. threaten to-
prevent the execution by violence. y.
There is nothing else new for me to write
you. The Government is very unstable,
and you may expect to hear Of revolution
at any time. --'-.,-l- CARBIDE.
