Important Prom Cuba.
The steamship Alabama arrived at New
Orisans on the 27th ult., with Havanna pa
pers to the 23d.
By passengers and letters, the editors of
the New Orleans Courier are in posses—
sion of the following important intent—
genee:
On the day previous to the sailing of
the Alabama, (Monday last) an express ar
rived at Havana, bringing the melancholy
intefligence of another insurrection among
the begroes on the south side of the
in the vicinity of St. Jago de Cuba. From
accounts, the plot appears to have been
much more extensive and deeply or2anized
than the outbreak at Cardinas, some time
since, and much more desperate and bloody
in its execution. ti large number of plan
ters,with their overseers and fami'ies, were
the helpless victims of the infuriated blacks
—considerable property was also destroy..
ed.
So important was the intelligence, from
its astounding report of the loss of life and
property, as well as the extent of the plot
of the insurgents, that the admir3l of the
post, Gen. Ulloa, immediately despatched
a man of war steamer to the scene of riot,
and orders were also gives for a frigate,
IMO brigs of war, and another steamer to
follow with troops, without delay. These
vessels were all to sail by Wednesday,
Gen. Uloa going in command of the ex.
pedititia, By our next accounts from Ha.

we may expect to hear more fully the de
tails of this melancholy incident,

American vessels.
Death of an old Servant.—We may say
that-another Revolutionary, character has
departed. General Washington's colored
servant Cary, was buried on Sunday last,
from Greenleaf's Point, and followed to
the grave by a large number of blacks.—
He was, we understand, at the time of his
death 114 years old, and was fur a number
of years ostler to Gen Washington, whom
he served at the Passage of the Delaware,
and the battles of Brandywine and-Tren
ton. Old Cary was known and respected
by every citizen of this place —be loved
the memory of his patriotic master, and as
an humble mark of respect, on his birth
day, and in fact, every military parade,
wore an old shad-bellied uniform coat, and
a three cornered hat with a huge cockade,
which he said Washington gave him. On
these occasions the boys used to collect a‘
round him, but his venerable appearance
disarmed them of all thoughts of mischief,
and he was always allowed the honorable
pnvilege of hobbling in the rear of the
military, under whose protection he gener
ally pissed himself.—Capitol.

New Paper.
We find the following notice of a new
paper which is shortly to make its appear.
ance in this city, in the Gazette of Wed-
nesday
"We are glad to learn that a new Dbm
ucratic paper is to be started in this city.
The Popish character of the Post renders
it highly necessary that a paper free from
papal domination should be originated for
the benefit and support of the Democratic
party. We know not whether this paper
is to be started in consequence of the sug
gestion of our correspt ndent
or whether the protestant democracy felt
insulted at the impudent publication and
approval of Bishop Hughes' attack upon
the Reformation. Be that as it may, we
repeat, we are rejoiced that we are to have
a loco loco paper which will be untram
melled by Popery."
From the above and several articles that
have appeared in the Gazette within the
last three or four weeks, we have reason
to believe that the editor knows more of
this project for persecuting a particular
religious portion of the con' unity, than
many of those who are solicited to support
the new paper. We regret extremely that
any person profeSsing ,to entertain demo—
cratic principle, should think for a moment
of introducing into our party such feelings
of illiberality as the above paragraph indi•
cates will govern the paper refered to.
It has heretofore been our satisfaction
to suppose, that the shield of democratic
toleration, would always be interposed to
protect the religious rights of all denomioa-
Lions, when persecuted an , l maligned by
such journals as the Gazette. We would
be sorry to see this policy departed from;
to have the purity of our principles sullied
by bringing into our party a feeling of pro
scription against any religious denomina
tion.
Whatever may be the opinions of the
editors of this pa per, we hope the gentle
men who are reputed to be the backers of
the project, hare not departed so far from
the principles of democracy, as to counte.
nance a scheme for the persecution of any
portion of their fellow citizens on account
of their religious opinions.
The Gazette denies that the sale of
tbeDelaware Division will be a robbery of
the State. The works are to be sold for
State Stocks, which can now be bought at
from .50 to 60 per cent. below their nomi
nal value. The purchasers of the Divis.
ion will therefore obtain it for about one
half the price it cost the commonwealth,
and will come in posseeion of it at a time
when it is daily becoming more profitable,
and when it is paying from 4 to 5 per cent
per annum on the par value of the stock
far which it is to be sold. The Gazette

Melancholy Story.
We publivhed day before yesterday, a
statement of the disappearance of a French
lady wh.) was supposed to have thrown
herself from a steamboat near Norwich
Con. The New York "Courier des Etas
Unis" of Saturday, throws some light on
this subject. A few weeks ago, a lady an-
swering the description of the one referred
to, called on Mr Laforest the Ft ench Con
sul of N. Y., and Mr Gaiwardet, the edit
or of the "Courier" solicitng their smite ,
Lance. She had had a liberal education,
and wished a situation as a teacher in a pri
vate family, or a boarding school. She
stated that she had been in America a few
months, and had passed the winter in the
intetior of the state, studying the English
language. She called herself Madame
Durand, but said that this was not her real
name; that she belonged to one of the first
families of France, and had emigrated be
cause, having lost all her fortune, she
would rather seek employment abroad
than in her own country. The corset and
the editors promised to aid het in her en.
deavors, with the understanding that she
should procure letters from borne to attest
the truth of her story, and advertisements
were inserted in several papers, but with
out success. She avowed her intention to
commit suicide in case of her failure to
procure emp!oyment, and confessed that,
although she had not yet exhausted all her
pecuniary means, she had taken a dose of
laudanum several days previous to her
present visit. On Tuesday, the day of the
i occurrence mentioned by the Express,
j she left her lodgings, leaving behind her
all her wardrobe, a letter addressed to
Madame Saubert, the keeper of the house,
in which she said at the time of reading it
she would have ceased to exist, requesting
Madame Saubert to sell her wardrobe,
which was quite a valuable one, to pay
'what she was indebted I , r board, and some
other small debts; and leaving some trin
kets as gifts for Madame S. and several in
mates of the house. Search was imitiedi
ately made for the unfortunate lady, but
without success, and no doubt is entertain
;
ed but that it was she who threw herself
overboard from the Wotcester.
PS. By a letter from Alva Gray, Jus
lice of the peace at Westport Ct. publish.
ed in the Express of Monday, it appears
that the body of the above mentioned un
fortunate was found on the beach near that
town on Wednesday afternoon. A coro
ner's jury returned a verdict that the de
ceased "came to bar death by reason of
blows inflicted upon the head, by some per
son or persona unknown."
The more probable supposi ion, howev
er, is that she threw herself from the deck
of the boat, and that the injuties on the
head were received either by striking the
wheel or some other pelt of the boat,

To the Tax-payers of the City of Pittsburgh
Fellow C 16.14118 —ln my last communication to
the tax-payers of the city, I endeavored to lay be
fore them theevila orhaaty action & the oppressive
disposition to borthenthem by an additional tax to
make a rail road from this city to Connellaville,
and the injustice of such a measure. In my pre
rent remarks, I shall endeavor to slew the effects
of unjust and oppressive legislation towards the
people, and its immoral consequences to the coin
munity, the result of unequal laws. It appears to
me after many years experience anti observation
that there is a great and almost immense want of
that interest and fostering care for the people gen
erally that should charac'erise the public servants
which were also elected or appointed to office, their
whole object appears to fleece the public as much
as possible, regardless of all other tights but their
own, there is no longer any call nr charity for the
people. When in. n are candidates for office, the
eff.ct to be all things to al men, but, when elec
ted, t'sey are all things lot themselves and to uc
complie) their own elevation, they hesitate not to
invade the very sanctuary if religion, and pander
to the ignorance and prejudices of society, as if
the seiity (dour repub'ic depended on etcir deVaw
two.
That there has been unequal and consequently
unjust legislation for many years past, we have
only to ex•trnine matters as th y now exist. \Ve
have too touch legislation, too much procraqtina
lion in our I igislutures, too many sudden changes,
too much co nmication and mystery ii our laws
and too tit my unequal in their operati ins. It
would appear from the course persued by our rep.
resentatavcs, that loot .ad of dclifieratity , cooly on
such matters as be in mist equal and condo
sive to the interests and happiness of the rople,
they serz every opportunity of sanctioning such
measures as would be must likely to gain a little
popularity, I excuse or except no party, I believe
all may be shook in the same bag.
To gain p imilarity, they have been legilating
for years under the pretext of serving the Our,
end in doing so, they have allowed every family
more than ninety five out of every hundred has
got. They hays abolished imprisonment fur debt,
under the pretext that it belonged only to barbar,
oils mid uncivilized nation. Imprison:nent for
debt, is like slavery, more odious in name than in
reality. It is better to hold up the rod of coerce•
, ion as an inducement to honesty, than to legislate
lot the encouragement of swinillin:. for any one
at all conversant with the operation & °fleet otthe
non.imprisonment law, know that amour.ts to nut h
ing less than an inducement to honest community
to become rogues & swindlers. Where is there a
man that does not hurl defiance at his creditors if
he sues for a lean sum that $5 and 55i cents? how
many of our citizens reposing confidence in their
neighbors, part with their hard and honestly earn
ed property, are swindled out of it by the induce•
ments held out by this law? And who ever know
of an honest titan being iinprisoned fur debt? for I
hold that a man knuorn to be an honest man,
should he unfortunately fall into the hands of a
Shylock, could always find a friend that would
save him from his grasp. Let the name be odious
or not, it is better to legislate to encourage hon
esty, than to encourage and lead the community,
into dishonesty, this would be more becoming a
civilized nation.
Owners of property know well that from exor
bitant taxition arid the difficulty of the times,
rents have fallen, and to enable them to pay their
taxes, they arc glad to procure tenants at any
rate. And to obtain them, securiiy is no longer
required. Imprisonment for debt being abolishe ;
more property allowed than ninety-five out of a
hundred has got, what can you get from tenants?
They may enter into a written agreement under
seal for a specified time, and what does it avail?
not a straw, tenants may walk out at their plea,
sure, break their agreement at their pleasure and
whut can they do? they are at your defiance.—
Tell me, is this not an encouragement to swind•
ling, and yet forsooth these acts are passed for the
protection of the poor; whilst they swindle the pro
perty holder out of his means to pay the taxes le
vied on his property for the support of the govern
ment, for whatsupporta the government but taxes
raised principally off property? I submit these
reflections to the candid and honest citizen, and
say is this just, is this equal rights and equal le.
gislation, are lot property owners bitterly tram
pied under foot, unprotected, oppressed as matters
now stand, without adopting the levelling princi
ple to which we are fast approaching, by taking
a man's property from him without further cere
many, With all these undeniable ,facts staring
us in the face, it is proposed to add an additioni.l
tax to make erail road to fill the pockets of a few
individuals, lamat a loss to discover how much
. further persona who own anything can be oppress
ed unless it be in all cases where a man shall
have the audacity to sue fur his own, and the
debtor shell not have as much as the law allows
him, that the debtor, shall be by law compelled
to furnish the deficiency at his own expense.
