Altogether, despite the many repreheu-

number. cannot, however, find terms
strong enough in which to Icnounce the
conduct of the managers of the expedi-
ton, deliberately sending the Azor TO sea

laws and humanity. The death of q
largo proportion of the deceased emil

stain of innocent blood is as deep on

twcnty-one miles during the past twenty

computed to be 379 miles. So near, and
yet so far. The fever spread no more,
but two sick men in the forecastle are
expected to die. The water is beginning
to run short, and half rations are being
issued all around. Fearfully hot! Tho
