and aversion with which all were inspired
by the presence of the foreign banditti.
At half-past 6, they wore charged by

Narciso .Lopez. In the percipitancy
of their flight, they allowed to escape at
Cayo Piedra, at the outlet of the harbor,
Senor Cerute, Senor Se g ura, Captain in
the infantry of Leon, and a sub-Lieutenant
of the same corps, who bud been made
prisoners.
Our attention has been called moropar
tieular!y to this circumstance ; that the sol
diers of the garrison, whom the invaders
bad set at liberty, subsequently turned
their arms against them, and gave un
doubted proof, that even so great a boon,
as being the gift of pirates, was odious to
them.
The editor of the Gaccta further states
that the wteanier Pizarro, which went in
pursuit, captured two vessels with a hun
dred prisoners, including.fourteen inferior
officers, and tho correspondence of the in
wading Canaille. He leads us to believe
that Havanna is all enthusiasm and shi
ning bayonets. Martial law has been pro
claimed. The coast is strictly blockade&
and the most stringent measures adopted.
The following accounts, conspicuously
displayed, with the largest sort of type,
arc found in, the Diaro Bala Marino, of
the 21st May:
"LONG LIVE TILE QUEEN !

Captain took
, possession of a schooner, a

banditti, besides which he has made him
selfmaster of all their correspondence and
surprised all the plans of the invading

By this means it is discovered that the

five hundred men, who, in their madness
and thirst after money, intended • first to

a most terrible lessen, after they had al

had the population recovered from the
sudden surprise produced by the lan'ing

without arms upon the infamous robbers,
they drove them before them before them,

' I ' IIE FEVER AT 1110 DE JANEIRO. — We
have been favored with the perusal of a'
private letter from Rio de Janeiro, dated
19th April, from which we extract the Cul- I
lowing :
The ship Monterye, McManus, from
Baltimore, with government troops for Cal-'
ifornia, which put in here for supplies, re-!
mained only two days, in conse , ::uence of
the frightful epidemic which has for the
last three months raged with fearful vio
lence in the harbor and city of Rio do Ja
neiro. I'o attempt to give you anything
like a true 'account or the number of people]
who have been swept away since its first'
outbreak, wOuld•he altogether completely
out of the question. The public authori- '
ties say that but over 3,000 to 4,000 per
sons have died with the prevailing fever.
This statement is absurd in the extreme.—
Many of the churches have
s commeneed
burying their dead in the country, or at
least not in the heart of the city as they did
formerly, and the burial ground attached
to the church San Francode I'aulor, open
ed only about three weeks since, already
contains 657 graves. Now this is for a
single church in the short space of three
weeks, and fi is too at a time when every
body says the epidemic is subsiding. It is
' my firm belief that over 13,000 persons
have been carried off from the time the
fever first made its a ppearance. Many,
very many of my best friciids have 'Wien
i victims.

They returned in the evening with the

TILE WILLIAMSPORT CONVENTION
The Democratic State Convention as
sbnibled at IVilliOrnsport on Wednesday
the 29th oi'MayitiiidaAer an exciting and
interesting session of three days, adjourn
ed at a late hour on Friday night. The
gentlemen settled upon as candidates are,
kw Canal Commissioner, W3l. T. Mount-
SON, of Mon'gomery. For Auditor GCD
eral, EPIIRAIn BANKS, of Mifflin county.
For Surveyor General, J. PORTER BRAW
LEY, of Crawford county.
Every district in the State was repre- I
settled, except the county of Somersott ;
and also Blair county, where there was
two contestants, and the Convention refu
sed to admit either. Theo was but one
delegate from Franklin county, which re
duced the whole number of delegates to
130. Messrs. lium.Ev, of Berks ; STRICK-
LAND, of Chester; and VAN SANT, of
Bucks, Nvert, the three prominent candi
dates -for Canal Commissioner. They
were all on the ground, with hosts of
warm and zealous friends; and so far as
we could learn, arc all highly honorable
and worthy men, whom any man might
be proud to support. But there was &res
pectable number of delegates, to whom
sound policy dictated the selection of a
new man—orte upeT whom all the inter
ests of the party could unite with a hearty
good will—one who would know no divis
ions, no distinctions, in the Democratic
party of Pennsylvania ; and alter striving
for nearly three days to allay the excite
ment, and to effect a reconciliation, the
friends of the three prominent candidates,
in a spirit of concession commendable in
the highest degree, decided the cent/ in
a single ballot, (the 26th,) by giving to
Mr. MonnisoN an almost unanimous vote.
Mr. l‘lorrison is a practical farmer, and
has represented (in part) the county of
Montgomery in the State Legislature for
the last two cars, where he displayed
much business tact, and made many
friends. Mr. M. is a fine looking speci
men of the yeomanry of Pennsylvania,
and if successful will, unless we are much
mistaken, mak6 a very efficient officer.
Mr. Banks is well known to many citi
zens of this county, and herever known
is acknowledged to be a most unexcep
tionable man.
Mr. Btawley is yet rather a young man.
He has represented Crawford county in
the State legislature several sessions, and'
his term in the Senate expired with the I
late session. He is said to he a man oi
much etter(w and fine business habits.
Perhaps no former State Convention
met, acted, and parted, with better feelings
than this on.•. Although most - of the lead
ing politicians of the State, all the candi
dates, and hosts of outsiders were on the
ground, working with might and main for
the accomplishment of their favorite ob
jects, vet there was not a single unkind
expression tittered, or bad feeling manifes
ted ; and the delegates, visiters and all,
separated with a feeling that gave full ev
idence of perfect satisfaction.
We cannot close this short notice with
out a word for the people of Williamsport.
Every body knows they occupy one of the
' most beautiful spots on the face of creation ;
' and they also have one of the most beau
tifully located and tastefully ornamented
towns in the State. v But notwithstanding
all these unsurpassed displays of nature
and of art, the thoughtful kindness and
`hospitality, the enterprise and public 'spir
it of the citizens, far surpassed everything
else. The town was crowded With stran
gers, and although it can boast' of n num
ber of spacious hotels, yet, had it not been
for the attentive kindness of the citizens
generally, many a soft board: would have
felt hard'each of those ,memorable nights.
The'proceedings and . resoluiions of the
Donn:Oat Slate Convention will be given
next week.

trailed a span of.very find horses,to one of
our citizens, for which .they received
other horses and a sum of money. On

A correspondent of the Lve
nal gives a sad account of a feud between
two families of Garrard county, Ky., pa., 4
used Evans and Hill: Dr. Evans, some
two er three months since; Shot one'ofhis , 4
neighbors named Dill, end then fled, it is_ I
supposed, to Indiana. Ofillonday
one o f the--Evans'- and -one of the-Dills- - -
came into colli ion, and exchanged shots
without ell . cct. The 1 1111 gang then fell
On Evans with knives and cut his throat
on each side, and his upper lip nearly off.
While this butchering business was going
on, a brother of Evans appeared and shot
down with a revolver, suecessi\ ely, Ras-
sell IEII, Frederick hill, William Hill, jr.,
and Henry Sagacy, a brother-its-law. Nu
muerous shots were made at hint 'without
killing him. The battle' was ever the
wounded Evans, and'who was supposed
to be dead. None of the five wounded are
dead, and it is thought thue may all rc-
cover.
