STAR & REPUBLICAN BANNER. AN ADDRESS, Delivered by Geo. L. Faust, Al the celebration of the 4th of July, 1839, by the "Berlin Pa. Rifle Company." Published by request of the Company. FELLOW CITIZENS: I shall offer no apology for any deficiencies on ray part in the discharge of that pleasing duty which has been arsiogn ed me. The theme, I trust, is sufficient to engage the attention of every patriot and freeman however feeble the efforts on my part to do it justice. This is the birthday of our national free dom, and the day-spring of civil and religi ous liberty throughout tho world. The e• vent we have assembled to commemorate, is of the most transcendent magnitude, and the respect - and reverence with which we are proud to treat it. are due from the virtu. can living, to the mighty & illustrious dead. Events productive of such great and glori• ous results, conferring the blessings of lib erty upon a nation held in the most degrading vassallage ' cannot be viewed with compla cency and the coolness of stoic indifleronce but naturally inspire us with the most grate ful and enthusiastic emotions. Hear the language of ono of the depart. ed sages of the revolution, than whose mighty spirit, but fox greater ever anima ted human clay ; "The 4th of July, 1776," lie says "will be a memorable epoch in the history of America. It eughtto be c orn inemorated as the day of deliverance by sot. emn acts of devotion to Almighty God. It ought to be solemnized with pomp, shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and il luminations from one end of the Continent to the other, from this time forward forever." Il sentiments like these inspired those who shared the toils and dangers of those peril. ous times, by what feelings should we be actuated who are permitted to repose in peace and safety under. the pleasant shade of our own vine and fig tree, and feast upon the precious banquet prepared for us at the price of our father's blood? Before the struggle for Independence .which so gloriously resulted in the emanoi. pinion of the Colonies, and the cause of freedom every where, .our fathers were suf feting under the most cruel and abject op pression, from the iufiiction of all manner of burthens, rendered still more odious and in tolerable from the painful recollection of the base spirits by whom they were imposed. They were 'he cruel sport of every petty tyrant who might be selected by the crown to lord it over them, merely because he aright boast of more noble blood and could more artfully play the sycophant and flatter the ear of royality. Such injustice could not bo belong endured without a resort to measures for redress. The intellectual ener gies of the mighty Chatham were exerted in vain to procure an alleviation of the cru city and injustice exercised over the Amer ican Colenietr. Thanks to the illustrious dead for his noble efforts in the cause of liberty ; but doubly fortunate for us that they proved ineffectual. For a long period Appeals were made that would have melted the heart of a savage; the king and parlia ment were implored for mercy and protec lion by the Continental Congress in behalf elan injured people, in the most respectful And dutiful manner; but in vain; their en treaties were either disregarded, or only served to increase the burthens under which they were already groaning. It was not until every effort had failed, that the children of the colonies rose against their unnatural parent and raised their arm in defence of those natural and unalienable rights conferred upon them by the Ruler of the Universe, which had been wrested from ahem by those who should have been the 'last to Buller any encroachment upon their rights. It was not for trivial and imaginary cau sea that the colonies declared themselves free from foreign domination and took up arms against 'Great Britain; neither were they allured the meteor of conquest or the phantom of glory, that they might en circle their brows with the laurels of victo ry dyed in blood and bedewed with the tears of the widow and orphan. No. Their purpose was a far nobler one, the emanci 'tuition of a nation groaning in bondage. It was only when 'Emir yoke became too in tolerable, that, the dearest and most sacred ,ties were severed.. The work of revolu tion was not undertekeu rashly. they coun ted the cost and then like men resolved :to bo free, they proclaimed in a voice of thunder that they owed no allegiance to the British Crown. The sacred flame rose high upon the altar of liberty, the cry was raised in every valley and on every hill, un til it spread far and wide throughout the length and breadth of the land. All were animated by a common impulse, the delive rance of an enslaved, oppressed people took eupreme possession of their souls; the shout Ad "Liberty or Death" was raised, and how nobly they achieved the former, we who enjoy its blessings hest can tell. shall but bri4y allude to those Memo rable-scones which charanterized the dark and gloomy period that tried men's souls; and those godlike heroes, Who, by the pi deuce of O.amnipottwco led the armies of the revolution tiviceittiry. The ir9trument se lected atilliite : ever memorable occasicn to waskiollia.fthostodiscaplined farces of the in ' &Slimknifes against the solemn armies of thent Britain. was such as Providence ov 4 .1101 1 11 1 6te for the accomplishment of some and good design. He was not cra . lad in the lap of case, or enervated by the iedulgeece of ',eery species of vice: but a plain Virginia planter, uncontaminated by the pomp and splendor of courte, simple in his manners, unassuming in his deportment alike easy of acce,s to all, with no ambition to gratify but the deliverance of the ensla ved colonies ; no vain thirst for glory haun ted his imagination, nor led him from the fathful performance of his duty, which was to him of far greator importance, than all the pageantry of mere military glory. Such was republican Washington. Whilst Washington was selected as com mander-in-chief of the armies of the Colo- nies, we aro nevertheless in a great measure indebted to other brave spirits for the suc cesses of our arms during that memorable crisis. Amongst the most distinguished in arms, associated with our own great and go9d Washington was the youthful and gal lant La Fayette. A few years have but e lapsed since his disembodied spirit took its flight from amongst men to associate with purer and holier intelligences in a better world. Through the peculiar favor of a kind Providence he was spared to a good old age, that he might contemplate the pleasing prospect of a people flourishing and happy in a land of liberty, whose deliverance he was in part, instrumental in accomplishing, and to see the prciblern solved that a nation is capable of self government, so long as intelligence and patriotism remain amongst them to enable them to appreciate tho bles sings of republican liberty. 1 need not tell you of Montgomery, Warren, Mercer and Scammel and a host of other heroes who shed their blood in the cause of our Inde pendence, their memories are embalmed in the hearts of Moir grateful countrymen, and destined to survive to the latest period ofour republic. The repuplican purity and simplicity of our institutions approach much nearer the perfection of tree government, than the fon dest visionary of modern times over dream ed of. The imaginary Atlantis of Plato, (of whose political institutions we have no account,) was merely the creation of the dis tempered fancy of an enthusiast of the fabu lous ages of antiquity. The boasted repub lics of Greece and Rome, were but the con federacies of time and circumstances, with no common tie of interest or feeling to bind them, with no institutions deserving the name of republican. The former could boast of a Philip, an Aristides and an Epam inondas, either of whom exercised an al most despotic . sway over the respective slates of Macedon, Athene and Thebes, un til incited by civil feuds and intestine dis sensions the fatal battle of Cheroncea forev er sealed the fate of the republic. Greece is now extinct, with scarcely any evidence of her former existence but that inscribed upon the historic page. Rome, haughty and imperial Rome,once tho proud mistress of the world, whose walls encircled a Fabius, a Scipio, a CM. ear and a Brut" where are now her splen dor and glory ? They have been almost ut terly extinguished ; and the republic after surviving for a period of about four hund red years, during which time it possessed scarcely a single attribute entitled to the name, having its dietators, whose will was absolute, and from whose despotic decision there was no appeal, became convuland with civil wars which' finally terminated in the restoration of its former goverment of kings. ft is now merely the melancholy and splen did relic of by gone ages. The name of the immortal Washington shall stand in bold relief upon the temple of Fame, inscribed in characters of living light as the father of his country and the erns• MOM of his race, whilst a Cmsar and a Bo- naparte shall be only remembered for their follies and their crimes. Washington de lighted not in the effusion of blood, it was only when the cause of offended justice im periously demanded it, that ho would con• sent to the surrender of a victim. All of you doubtless recollect the circumstances connected with the melancholy and tra gical fate of the accomplished and unfortu nate Andre: with what bitter anguish did Washington perform his official duty, his judgment was tempered with mercy. he felt as a man, but acted like a God, he pitied, but he pardoned not. What a noble ex ample of perfection for our imitation, lot us endeavor like him to be great and good, let us endeavor to imitate him in his career of virtue, mercy and patriotism, lot us en deavor to imitate him in all things, should we be less fortunate than he, let us - not des• pair, we will at least have the pleasing con solation to reflect, that he whom we had selected as our model for imitation was the most perfect man that the annals of the world can boast of. The proud recollections of Thorrnopylw, Marathon and Platea will shine with dimin ished lustre, whilst the brilliant events of the revolution shall burst the surges of ob laymen, bid I a brave defiance to the moulde ring incrustations of ages, and smile trium phant through the wreck of matter and the crush of worlds. The flamer:, of Adams & Jefferson, with the philosophic Franklin & those brave spirits of the revolution who conferred the blessings of liberty upon countless millions, shall shine in liner ages with redoubled lustre; whilst those whose names aro recorded upon the bloody page of history, who fought only for conquests and glory, regardless of the melancholy re sults, earning their ephemeris) glory by the effusion of the blood of millions, will only be rescued from oblivion by the recollection of their sanguinary deeds. Remember the perils, the privations,the danger and the trials our lathers endured to obtain for us end our posterity this blessed heritage we enjoy. Preserve and protect the institutions of our country, the ark of our political safety, the band of our nation al strength, the palladium of our precious liberty, bought with the treasure and seal ed with the b!ood of thousands who volun tarily offered themselves upon the altar of their country during the cheerless period of the revolution. Gunrd then thts precious treasure, this gain of matchless price, watch over it with the jealous and religious care ae the vestal virgins did the sacred flame upon the altar of their divinity, and may the fate of those who violated their holy trust befal him who would dare profane with impious and pollu• ted hands the altar of the temple of Liberty. ADDRESS To the "Failficld Temperance Somas'," on the 4th of July, 1839, BY DR. JOHN PAXTON. COULD our forefathers, who expended their fortunes and their lives in establishing the liberties of our country, have beheld with prophetic vision the enthusiasm with which the succeeding generation obser ved this day. as the anniversary of our country's freedom; they would have exult ed in the promise it gave of the perpetua tion of our free institutions. But if at the same, time they had beheld it desecrated by intemperance, and made the occasion of revelry and drunkenness, the bright pros pect would have been overshadowed by darkening clouds; for what were Ifberty, or what were intelligence, when a moral death were spreading itself like a mantle over thej land 1 Yet •vere they to look upon us now, they would behold another cheering sight—the same day set apart by the best of their sons and daughters for the double purpose of cherishing the reccollec. tiou of their achievements, and the pro. secution of a second redemption of their country. Our fathers, my friends, under the blot]• sing of the God of nations, released our country from foreign subjection ; you their children, we trust, under the blessing of the same God, are releasing it from a servi tude more vile, and more degrading, than any service which could be rendered to mortal man. A foreign prince might claim our property, demand the service of our bodies, and throw the chain of bondage around us ; but the demon, intemperance not only seizes these but would subject our minds and very souls to his will while life would last, and with miseries to be measur ed only by eternity. Our country, with all its bright hopes of future greatness, and even while boasting of its freedom, and commemorating the day that declared it—was silently, but with fear ful certainty, falling under this second, bondage worse than the first. But the day of deliverance has dawned the watchman has called, the revelly has sounded, the host has marshalled and the solemn pledge been given. "They have come," they have fought, "they havo con quered," and are still pressing forward to future and greater conquests ; and like the patriot band of their fathers, determined to be free. Is it too much then to style them the second saviours of their country 1 To you, members of the temperance soci ety, I have come this day, as to a company of these moral patriots, to cheer you on in the great enterprise. It will be unnecessary for me to exhibit the evils of intemperance ; you have heard them often—you may see them daily—and some of you may be forced to the sorrowful reflection, that you feel them too. Some of you are aged men, whose heads are whitened for the grave. This gives evidence of the sincerity of your purpose ; for th e aged do not tri fl e, nor approach the tomb with falshood on their Ups. °Alen again are young, and carry to the cause the activity and sanguine energy of youth. Yet you, fathers, brothers, children, are en gaged in a cause which demand all these, for you are destined to labour long, and sometimes doubtfully, before you obtain the object of your hopes. Those grey hairs will be buried in the dust, and the "tongue that speaks *ay be silent in the grave," be fore the great deliverance is accomplished. I would therefore say to you : relax no ef fort ; leave no proper means untried ; lot no failure dishearten you ; lot no opposition deter you ; and no treachery appal you; but knowing the benevolence and integrity of your purpose, pursue a calm, prudent, conciliatory, and generous—but also a firm ardent and persevering course ; and you will, yon must succeed. For your's is a cause which from its very nature enlists the wisest and best in its ranks; and by its own operation, secures both its wisdom and virtue : while the other casts its boun ty to the worst part of mankind, and by its own principles and conduct ruins their wis dom and destroys their virtue. But more than this : is it not the cause of Heaven, and may we not confidently expect Heav en's blessing upon it 7 In our review of this important subject, permit me to refer to the principles on which the temperance cause rests, and some of the duties arising out of them ; offer some arguments on some of the de bateable subjects connected with it ; and recommend it to those who are not engaged in it. Temperance has been defined "an absti nence from things in themselves injurious and a reasonable and moderate use of those which are allowable." Had this rule been observed with regard to di inks, there would have been no necessity for temperance societies. But mankind are so prone to in dulgence, and so much the creatures of habit, that at an early day in the world's history, intemperance was not an uncom mon vice—yet not so prevalent as to call for efforts of men in the form of societies to ar rest it. The discovery of alcohol in a separate form, by cheapening and concentrating the intoxicating principle, gave a new impulse to intemperance ; and it continued to In crease, especially in our country, until its ravages became alarming—yet so grad ual was the change, that its advance was hardly perceived, until public attention was awakened by a few men, who, if not the projectors, might be called the pioneers in the temperance reformation. By the es tablishment oftemperance societies, andithe statistics furnished by them, such a flood of light was thrown on the subject, as to bring out in bold relief, the extended ruins which marked the progress of the great destroy er ; which, unlike all others, struck at the phystcal,intereclual, - and moral powers of mankad. Had either of these been spared, there would have been some resource, some aid by which the others might have been rescued; but the blow whiph fell upon the one, was not less certain in its effects on all. Public attention being thus awakened, the extent of the evil became known ; its causes wore investigated, and remedies proposed. It was evident that essays on the subject, the warning voice of the mes. sengers of heaven, and the influence of de tached individuals, were together unavail ing; for they had nll been tried long, and m vain. Some more efficient and powerful means must be used ; and this was found in temperance societies as they were usual. ly constituted.—They were found success ful even beyond the anticipations of the most sanguine, as could be shown from the statistics furnished by them. The leading principle on which all tem porance societies should be formed, is, the removal of Intemperance from the world; and this should ever be borne in mind as the ultimate and legitimate end. Involved in this, is another, of more limited extent, viz the preservation of ourselves and our families from intemperance. Keeping in view these principles, and nlwa) a recollect. ing that opposition may be expected, but should not be courted, will lead us to the means which promise to ho most success ful. Some have considered the use ofalcohol, either in the form of ardent spirits, or in fermented liquors, provided it were never used so as to proddce the least degree of intoxication, as consistent with strict tern. peranco and in such amount to be allowable and wouid consider every man thus tem perate a temperance mnn. Others consider total abstinence from distilled spirits with the temperate use of wine and other fermen ted liquors as true temperance. Others, again say that alcohol is poison, and it must therefore be wrong to use it in any quanti ty, whether it be found in fermented or distilled liquors. The first and lust of these doctrines, being so inconsistent and yet both advocated by able mon, are worthy of ox amination. The word poison is ono of comparative, not definite moaning. It is defined, "that which injures or destroys life in small quantity, by moans not obvious to the senses." But it has with equal truth been said "that all poisons are medicines in small doses, and all medicines are poi. sons in large doses ." But in those state ments, the words "large" and "small" are used, which are themselves comparitive terms. It is impossible to define or strict ly limit the meaning of the word "poison," and it should be laid aside in the argument and the result rested on the well known effects of the article in question without designating its character. There is in the human system, and also in that of the lower animals, a capacity or power of accommodating itself to circum stances, which is truly astonishing. The caroiverous animal may be roared and sus tained on food ivhichjis purely vegetable and vice versa. The power of resisting cold, to an a astonishing degree, can be acquired by a properly „regulated exposure. And also the power of resisting heat, as exempli- fied by M. Chaubert and others, who have remained in a heated oven while a piece of meat was roasting. Tho power of re feting the injurious effects of deleterious agents, is in few cases more evident than in those persons who have become inured to a sickly climate, or, in technical language acclimated. This is not because the poisonous malaria becomes less intense but because the system acquires by gradual expos►►re,the power of resistance, or from having had an attack of the disease, which suddenly produces the same effect. The power of resisting the effects of deleterious agents, exists in some degree at all times, but may be greatly increased by habit. The use of tobacco illustrates this ; the excessive use to which it is carried by some men, would kill one entirely unaccus tomed to it. A man, long habituated to the'regulatod use of ardent spirits,will drink, without intoxication, as much as would make five men drunk who had never tasted any intoxicating drink. Thie principle, al though like almost all others, liable to abuse, is implanted in the system for wise purpo ses : for otherwise, mankind would be con fined in a great measure, to the climate and circumstances in which they were born. If the doctrines—that the taking, dr re ceiving into the system, any poison,in how over small a quantity, is injurions ; and if done for mere gratification, is therefore morally wrong—wore true, it would be sin ful for a man to remove to a southern or more sickly climate, for the purpose of enjoying it, or increasing his comforts, no matter how cautious and guarded he might be against tho dangers of it, or however healthy himself and his family might re main ; for ho would be receiving into his system a poison, for the sake of its concom itant pleasures. Many other examples might be given, which would show that the doctrine "that alcohol, being a poison, is injurious in :the smallest quantity, and therefore morally wrong to use it" proves too much, and therefore cannot be admitted as true• This position being untenable, I must ad mit the truth of the first doctrines, viz. • 'that the perfectly temperate use of all or every intoxicating liquor is true tem perance," but I cannot admit, that a man so using them should be considered a tern peranca man, or as contributing at all to wards the great end to be had in view by temperance societies. That it were pos. sible for a man to commence the use of alcohol in sufficiently small quantity, and increase it with sufficient regularity, and in such proportion as to exactly balance the increasing power of resistance to Its in. jurious effects, so as not to injure himself by it in the least degree, and yet use it at last in consi lerable quantity,' have already admitted.—But this possibility is a phy• sical one. 1 very much doubt whether such a moral possibility exists. Because the in creasing power of resistance is merely a physical process; whereas the deiiire for it, which is a physical product of habit, is in creased by the natural love of pleasure, (and the gratification of appetite is a plea sure); and therefore wo would infer, that the love of the draught would increase much faster than the power of resistance:— And this is proved in hundreds of cases by observation. And in the supposed case, there would be no morol restraint, because the Individual pursuing such a course of ex periment wonld believe ho were graduat ing it so nicely that there existed no dan• ger of any injury. Conclusion next week. The role for Governor. It is well known that the Loco Focos have made various charges against the friends of the late Governor, and among other things, that the vote and Majority of D. R- Porter were reduced in the Senate. But their own man Brown, chairman of the select committee on the subject, a few days since made a report embracing tho full re turn of all the vote given, including the Straw box at Halifax, the Youngwomans• town district, and other rejected polls; and gave the result as follows : For Governor. Counted December 12, for 1). R. Porter, 127,P21. Now added 6,729 Counted Dec. 12 for Jo. soph Ritner, 122,335 Now added to do. 3,704 Total maj. for D. R.

From the report of the committee, it ap pears that the entire majority for the a mendments to the Constitution was 3,112 votos--Harrisburg Intelligencer. Illy REQUEST.] .."--jTho Presbyterian of Philadelphia,apeaking on the subject of the 4th of July, celebration, While on this subject, we feel constrained to bear our testimony against the mode re cently adopted, of gathering the children of Sunday schools on this day, for a grand dis play, or fbr steamboat excursions. Few. we trunk, can deliberately imagine that the spiritual interests of the children aro, in this way, promoted, and there is strong rea son to believe, that only evil is the result of such frolics, for in this light alone we view them. it may be well for Sunday school teachers to consider whether they are wtl• ling to bear the responsibility of all the consequences of such merry things. The late scene of this kind, in New York, to say nothing of the fatality which attended it, must have called forth in the minds of the thousands of children assembled, many bad feelings, and may have created a taste, which will hereafter be indulged in less questionable dissipations. There is more than the appearance of evil in this matter, which religious instructors should avoid. LOBSTERS mirwrive TOBACCO.— Lobsters. connot chew tobacco, any bow they can fix it. A ship laden with this vile weed was recently wrecked on the Island of Anglecia, and the tobacco washed among the crevices of the rocks, and the lobsters that dwelt there took to chewing it. The next morn• ing the beach was strewed with the unhap py- victims of indiscretion, so sick that they wore unable to crawl. Those who have been sickened by essaying to become tobac eo.chewers, will know how to feel for these unhappy lobters. The Louisville Journal says :—"We un derstand that Dr Duncan, crossing the Little Miami in a boat, on Monday the 24th ult., fell overboard, but was soon rescued. Tho only consequence was, that the fishes around were discovered shortly afterwards in a state of beastly intoxication." Senate.—The terms of the following members of the State Senate will expire the present year: Messrs. Carpenter, Fullerton Michler, M'Conkey, Miller, (of Philadel phia,) Paul, Parsons, and Williams.

'African Slave Trade• By an act of Congress, passed some years ago, like seizing and carrying away, men, women or children from the coast of Africa &c. was made piracy ; but notwithstanding this humane and righteous law, this trade is carried on to an extent altogether unparalelled, heretofore, and this too under the protection of the AMERICAN FLAG ! Such awful ano daring wickedness, added to the equally !terrible though legalized, domestic Slave trade, carried on between the different States, must bring:down upon our nation. the vengeance of heaven. If Providence does not visit this sin, upon our guilty heads, then was the earth never visited in judgement for men's iniquities. Wo shall take occasion, shortly to lay before our readers some authentic extracts, from a work lately published, by Mr. Buxton a member of iho British Purliment, upon this sub ject, prom the Entancipatui The Hispano-American Shaves. EXTRAORDINARY DEVELOPS• MENTS.—This city was thrown into a great excitement on Wednesday, by the ar rival, at quarantine, of H. B. M. brig, Buzzard, with two slavers as hemprizes.. The sensation was deepened when the rumor of their being American vessels, and manned by American crew was circula ted. The excitement was so great, and the anxiety to learn all the facts respecting their capture, increased so fast, that we thought it advisable to step on board the •'Treasor," visit them, and gather all we could in relation to the slave trade, and the seizure of the brig Eagle, and the schooner Clara, by Captain Fitzgerald, of the Buz zard. Accordingly, wo took our seats in the stern sheets of the "Troazer," gave the or der "give way, my lads," and wore quickly swept past Governor's Island, and as rapidly approached Staten Islands There were up wards of fifty square-rigged vessels lying at quarantine, of all sizes and of all shapes, but as we neared Dr. Rockwelle pier, we instantly pointed out the Slaves, they carry tag the trade in their looks. They are long, low, sharp, piratical, black, rakish • !deicing vessels. They lay low, and their masts rake most awfully, The brig has 'her name painted on the stern, with a large, gilt, spread eagle beneath—cite name of the port where she did belong is painted out. She is a complete slaver—her slave deck is in, with space only two feet and a half high, and ring bolts and manacles ready for ono of more hundreds of poor black wretches. Her provision casks and loggers wore all on beard when captured by the Lily. Wo will be brief with the brig as we Save before mentioned her. She was captured by tho Lily sloop of war in January last, and carried to Sierra Leone, whore she was detained a short limo, and discharged by the Spanish autho. rities, because her coniniader, Joshua W. Litting, exhibited American papers ; but her prize master Mr. Boys, remained in her, determined to sift the matter, and eon. sequently sailed from Sierra Leone for the purpose of communicating with the British commander. W hen on Lagus bar, she was hailed and boarded by the buzzard, as we have already stated. Mr. Boys, of course, gave her up to his superior officer, but still continued prize-master. The Clara; commanded by Samuel B. Hooker; was captured in the river Nun, by the boats of the Buzzard, early in .March. To show the caution with which Mr. Fitz. geruld acted, we will state the prirticelars. Understanding there was a Spanish slaver up the river, he cruised at its mouth for ter% erat weeks, and daily sent up boats to re connoit re—landing Mr. Grant seioral times for the purpose of getting information from the kings of the several African borders but nothing could be gleaned from them. After betoraidg pretty ,well satisfied, how ever, that such a vessel as the Clara was it the niter, Captain F. despatched the yawl, manned with , twelve men and otactffe, to proceed up the Nun and take possession of her Ate considerable distance up, anch ored close in a bend of the river, they dis covered and boarded her. Captain Hooker and two Spaniards only wet% on board„ ho rest being on shore. Mr. Grant demanded the slaver's papers, but was refused them. Captain FL said he was an Amorindn, bad. Ainerican papers, and was not to be searched. Whilo this was going on, one of the officers took a spy glass to scan the shore. Capt. H. upon seeing this sprang ft;rward, passed his hand before it, and said "You don't understand this glass ; you cannot get the right focus. But the officer had the focus so nearly that he discovered the Bar racoons filled with negroes and also saw on shore the slave decks, rice casks and the legors. He also saw the red caps of the Spaniards peeping from behind the Barre -1 coons and over the underbush. This was sufficientomd tho Clara was taken ns a Span• ish slavor,sailing under false colors and false papers. Having American registers, although cut, it was a delicate matter for Capt. Fitzgeral to capture them ; but the registers being cut, and having a Spanish crew, ho thought it best to take her and the Eagle in charge, and bring them to Now York, stihjeet to the orders of the Govern- ment of the United States. After leaving the coast of Africa, they touched at Havam na, where the slavers were owned, and a long correspondence on their capture took place, between Captain Fitzgerald and the Spanish owners. The correspondence Capt. F. took with him to Washington yes terday morning. We shall publish it in tho course of a week. It will develop° something that will astonish the people o this country. Merchants in this city aro engaged largely in this trade. In the mean time the Buzzard and her two prizes will remain in our harbour. The mate and steward of the Eagle, and the mato and boatsman of the Clara, have also been brought hero to act as witnesses in case a trial should be ordered. The Spanish crews were landed at Havana. The ing book of the Clara is a singular document. It contains a regular price current of Slaves and aj their transactions. This was kept by the •mate against the wishes of Captain Hooker, and is alone suf ficient to convict them. The cut register as they aro called, were obtained by both captains at Havanna, and should a trial take place, some developments will be made in relation to them that will be startling. There are upwards of twenty American built vessels, officered by Americans, en. gaged in this trade, and they have all these cut registers, which were obtained from the same source—and that source is SUPPO SED TO BE THE AM ERICA N CONSU LATE AT II AV AN A. The British cruise, ere have several times captured them, but in variably gave them up upon seeing their pa pers. Now they are determined to see if it is really true that such vessels can sail under the American flag while engaged in the slave trade, and have therefore captured attil brought these vessels to Now Xerk for this purpose. The whole affair will lie laid before our government in a few days, and arrange ments will undoubtedly bo entered into, or ought to be, with the English government in regard to the future management of these important matters I This is not the only complaint against our American Consul at Havana. The Pennsylvania Freeman of 6th mo. 13th. contains a letter from MITCHEL THOMP• SON, Esq. ; an officer on board 11. B. M. ship Sappho, dated Port Royal, Jamaica. On the subject of the slave trade, he makes the following statement : "I have just finished a small pamphlet, on the subject of missions for Africa, and the slave trade, in which I have not spared your cout,tre ; you are deeply—deeply im plicated. Almost the half of the vessels em ployed in this trade, and furnished to either the Spaniards or Portuguese, are from America, and seem to have been built at Baltimore, from which place they sail, efierteted for some port in Cuba, with lum ber, which lumber is converted into slave decks; on their arrival at the port. To this is now added coppers ; casks and food, with the necessary slave irons, and now also is added the requisite number of Spaniards, as part complement of the ships company. With American papers and flag they escape our cruisers, as the accession to the right of mutual search has not beets made by America. Thus they proceed to the coast, whore at Cape do Verd, Princes ; or St. Thomas's, papers are changed for Por tuguese, or if not, the vessel makes the OP fort on her own responsibility. To show that this is the case, in the month of Sep tember last we gave chase to and boarded the Dolphin schooner, Captain Spright, from Baltimore, (last 'knit Havana,) with slave-irons, coppers ,casks, deeks, &c, crow part American and part Spanish, having American papers, and flag. Ho know he was.safei and said immediately that he was for the coast. Since we saw you we. have taken 7 or 800 slaves, and we learn from the Captains that Texts is the best Mart." The writer further states that d short time before the date of his letter, (March 27th,) the' Sappho captured a cargo of slaves, one of whom was a native kmeri can; and who was sold to the slave•trade% at or near Liberia, In this connection we cony from a fate London paper the following extract from a letter of an officer on Board the British man-of-war Pelidan, now engaged in efforts to prevent the slave-trade. It is enough to make an Atnerican hang his heud for shame: • “The i'ortuguese schooner Singdalena whichwo lately chptured, had on board 320 'slaves. The captain 01. this vessel informed us !ha! an American schooner, the Octavia, of - Baltimore, under Spanish colours, having seen sold to a Spaniard in the river Nun,. had flailed on the same day that he did, with 220 slaves, and that they had parted Company only the proceeding night. We made all sail in the supposed direction of the Octavia and captured her the next day at noon. She had 220 slaves, and a crew of 13 men. Beth of our prizes had very fair slavel docks, two feet and n half in height, aid the negroes were all pretty healthy. They were sent to Sierra Leone. The Dolphin took possession of five beautiful empty brigs the other day at Lagos, and sent them to Sierre Leone. The only flag under which slavery can be actually carried on with impunity, is the American, "Thus a vessel is built or fitted out in en American port, gets American papers, runs to Cuba, is sold; the American with a mixed crew, and the Spanish captain as passenger run her across to the West Coast of Africa tinder American colors, and as we are not allowed by the jealous Yankees to search their vessels, she re mains at anchor until! the slaves are ready; a. fictions bill of sale is made out, by which the Spaniards or Portuguese become purchasers of tho vessel and the Yanked a passenger; a favorable opportunity presents itielf, the slaves are shipped under the Por tuguese flag, and then the vessel takes her chance of escape. The Octavia had no papers except a bill of sale of tho above description, and hoisted the Spanish flag merely because the captain was a Spaniard, The American who sold the Octavia was a passenger in the Magdalena-', THAI IMPROVEMENT BILL, is still not signed, and it is now generally believed, it will not receive the signature of the acting Executive.
