LATIONS.—WC hear occasionally of a few votes in favour of General Jackson, and dispositions inbehalf of Mr. Clay. We must not allow ourselves to be deceived on this point. The question rest between Crawfbrd and Adams —they are the only two candidates having a prospect of success, and one or the other must undoubtedly succeed ; every thing is shaping its course towards that result, and we must not allow the people to have their attention diverted tiom the two strongest candidates, by any intermediate interests. General, Jackson will endeavour to throw his weight into the scale of Mr. Adams, and it is admitted that most of the friends of Mr. Clay will vote for lir. Crawford,. Without -the aid of any of the present caraidates, Mr. Crawford at present Stan& hig-heit, and the weight of either thrown into his scale will elect him. We now are of-opinion; that the question will be settled by the Electoral Colleges. Parties therefore will take their old ground : Crawford, and regular nomination ; Adams, andithe federal party.  HORRIBLE AIOIIDERS By r IRA TES,—r, or.. some time past the inliabitanta of Cuba have evinced a very hostile diaposition towards the English traders on that coast. The following-particulars of u most barbarous murder committed.mpon the Captain and crew of a Britiish vessel are given by Captain Henderson, of his Majesty's schooner Union,. which vessel, in company with the Lion, was cruising for the protection of trade in that.quarter. The Endeavour sailed from Montego-Bay, Jamaica; to fish for Turtle among the ,Keys, and was fallen in with by a fehicca-rigged vessel which sent a boat on board. it appeared that a dog on board the Endeavour attempted .to bite the first of the pirates who came on the deck, and that the fellow immediately killed the dog; Jas. Whittaker, the Captain of the Endeavour, remonstrated with him for having killed his dog; the other said " Will serve you the same," and instantly stabbed him three times in the breast, and threw hint overboard; Whittaker beginning to swim, he levelled his musket and shot him in the shoulder ; finding that he still continued to swim he got in the boat and pulled after him, hauled his head upon the gunnel of the boat, and cut his throat, when he im. niediately sunk. He then returned on board the Endeavour, and with the other pirates killed all the crew except David_ Smith, -who jumped overboard, and succeeded in getting on shore. The persons who have been killed' are James Whittaker, Daniel Gillet, Samuel Hurlock, and a Curaloa negro, named John; the former are three persons of colour, natives of this place, all inoffensive and industrious men, James Whittaker in particular; he was a married man, and has left his wife and four children, we fear, without means of support. The statement of. Mr. Dolphy, together with the affidavit of Capt. Fortune, will be forwarded to the Admiral by the earliest opportunity.—(Jamaica Paper,.)
