The Democracy stood upon the decks of their weather-beaten cruizer to look at her, alpha}! seemed to unite in the opinion.that she. would perform* a four years voyage In safety; but suddenly a tempest, came, a thunderbolt splintered her mizen-mast, rent her Hag to tatters, arid killed her commander.- Then came upon the car of the listener the heavy roar of the alarm gun and the cry of soirow. A hurricane fol lowed the thunder—sail after sail was rent to pieces —spar titter spar came toppling down with the look outs and the topmen —seaman after seaman pitched o verboapd, and floated to the Democratic cruizer, whoso commander had watched for the squall, and had taken in sail. Louder and louder howled the wind,. The rudder was wrenched from its fastening, and the ship .dashed an at the mercy of thc.contending elements,— Trio first lieutenant had-taken command, and the trumpet was in‘hip hand. A cry of firo now'spread through the ship; and then, while the wreck was blazing, the crew ’mutinied. The purser's strong box was lobbed—his hooks were burned to.wipd out all curses rang upon the night Wind; and echoed along the deep. And. hark what noise Is tqat 1 It is a gun 'from the rival frigate—again its peals, and again all eycs-anxlurned towards the sound. It is the cruizer under storm stay-sails boating to wind ward; and now behold,.she pours a broadside into the blaring frigate—despair sits at the magazine ond death by ihevbrtvfd - room, Plotted out forever.

Such vessels must be permitted, if engaged in It, to enjoy a monopoly of tbe slave trade; but the British Government, concludes Lord Aberdeen, will never endure that llv» fraudulent use of the Amer ican flag shall extend the iniquity to other nations, by whom it is abhorred, and who .have entered into sol emn treaties with this country for its entire suppres sion.’* Mr. Van Bunny, in his journey 'south, arrived at New Orleans on the The Picayune states that a deputation of gentlemen met him 1 ' at the lake, and Mr. Prieur, the Mayor elect, in behalf of the com-, niittec.nnd the citizens'generally hade him .welcome to the city.

Those who have no. cows, or do not bake their own bread', could not do well with out them: then let them listen to their.daily approach; of which they each give “pleasing note”—the one by the sound of a horn, and tlic other by the more musical loncs of a little bell—just such oa Dutchmen’ fi? ta Wagon-horses’ cars.
