That once opulent city, the commer
cial emporium of the world, is running
its course, like all mutable tilings, lo a-
bandonment and ruin. The chuichcs
and public buildings, both internally and
externally, are in a state of dila])idulicn,
and its cathedral, which was to have been
the glory of Cadiz and the admiration of
Europe, the building of which cost mil
lions, is now partitioned into workshops.
The pompous and formidable navy of
Spain, which in former days floated in
insulting security in the wide and spac
ious bay, is long sincc annihilated from
the waters of the deep, and the rich gal
leons, w hicli-annually poured in their vast
wealth from the mine.s of Mexico and
Peru, to ieed the sickly appetites often-1
suality, are no more. Neptune, too, has
declared war against the city, atfdde-j
creed that his watery element shall ride]
rampant Q.vcr its walls; already he has j
made great ir.rorvds on its boundaries,
and 1 doubt wheiher the treasury ot
France, (for Spain has none) w ill be ade-

not many years ago, were among the first
merchants of ihe city. Every day turns
out a fresh supply on the tow n, and those
w'hom the blind goddess has been mo're
favorable to, studiously avoid their quon
dam associates w ho now supplicate theiv
charity. I'ainiJies who, dui ipg the i'or-
nier siege of Cadiz, occupied the lirst

“You i;i;iy remember, in one of my

wiiu I t AjM.'cled would lose his life for
'aking an active part with the iievolulion-

followed, and then Le .Mo’it. While one
was speaking, the others bowed their
heads to afTirm the truth of what was
said—their '■pcech occupied about hall
an hour—they then took their seats.
Several tinies they aro.sc, and pushed
their chairs into tlie sand to inake them
stand firm—the executioner then tied
their wrists and ancles with a small cord,
and drew caj'S; over their ryes. Nicolou
anil Podgeis drev.- them back and sat
watchiiig the motions ot the soldiers ;
twenty four were called out, loaded their
guns, and were going to tire, when Rodg
ers cried oat ‘stop,’ and requested the
captain to order Ills soldiers nearer,
Tiiey halted within half the former dis
tance, say 30 yards. He then gave th
signal to-lire; the drop of his 'landker-
chief was the signal. 'I'hey all fired, and
Nicolou fell, 'i’he sight was dreadful—
Rodgers sprang upon his feet, cried oul
for Liod’s sake to kill him quick, and tak
ing hold of iiis gown, he held it up anvl
showed the mullitude cf bullet holes
through it. Le Mont kept his seat; they
fired the second round—llodgers leil, and
Le Ivloin diiectly atierv ards. The sol
diers then ran up to the bodies and dis
charged the tliird round into them.
“'I'heir speeches ’.vere never ^ublisli-
ed. They related principally to their
love of freedom, advising the Pernani-
bucans to try their endeavours once
more, and conjuring them to beware of
the Emperor.
“'Phe day preceding the OAecution,
the American captains were advised by
the American coiisul not to hoisl their
colours half mast on account of Hudgcrs,
it being against the laws of the country.
The American captains acted ct)ntrary
to these orders, and next moring hoisted
them. During their absence lo see the
execution, the oflicersand sailors belon;^-
ing to a man of war lying in this har
bour, went on boarcl and cut them
down. The same day an American
ship called the Conniicdore Perry, arriv
ed off the ])ort with her colours at the
mast head ; the same rascals Aent on
iioard of her and onleicd them down,
thus throw ing no Httle disgrace on i'tc Jl-
mvrican Flag. English colour-s, half masi,
also v.;ere cut down. The l-’atriots who
are absent are all condemned to death.”

'I'he British and Burmese war still con
tinued. The English head cpiartcrs were
at Rangoon. The niain body was soon
to advance upon Ava, the capital of the
Iiurinan empire. In several encounters
between th.e hostile armies, the loss in
the Burman army was fifteen thousand
in fifteen days. The British loss was
trifling. A great battle was fought the
middle of Decem^ier, in which the na
tives were completly routed and dispers
ed. They w ei’i.', however, making great
exertions to rally their forces. The
English army was 15,000 strong. On the
29th of October a severe eai thquake laid
a considerable part of Manilla in ruins,
demolished several churches, a bridge,
and many private houses, and compelled
the inhabitants and troops to remove
from the city. Close lo the liver, four
miles from Manilla, the earth opened with
a tremendous explosion.

‘/On the 16th ult. about 2 P. M. the
weather being moderate, and standing

brigantine bearing down upon us, on our

the brigantine, and at the time his shot
had be.uun to overreach him. I hoisted
my ensign and pendant, and got all clear
for action, as we neared him ; but i)Ciore
we could get within range, the pirate a-
bandoned'his chase, and stood away for
the Cuba coast, under all the canvass he
could spread.
“The wind being light, and his sweeps
and large sails affording him a decided
advantage, he eflected his escape, much
against my inclination.

Capt. W\ reported that the pirate had
chased him from off Port INlariel, and
had shown both English and American
colors, before he hoisted the black flag.
Capt. W. showed good courage, for im
mediately when he saw the London stand
ing to his assistance, he backed his main
yard, with the intention of decoying the
j)irate into our hands, supposing us to be
a sloop of war. I have since carried a

•iiautav, JUNE 3.—On Tuesday week
last, the Petersburg stage had proceeded
about four miles from this town, w hen
the passengers discovered that their
trunks, tl'.i'ee in nnmlier, v/hich had been
placed on. behind, were._ missing. The
stage iniinediaiely returned to the ferry,
but \\ ithont finding the truiiks. The a-

atelv commenced a most diligent search
of the surrounding country, and finally
recovered the trunks, which had been
dej)osited in a wheat field a short dis
tance from the road and about two miles
from town. It is' suj)j;osed that the
trunks had fallen from the stage, and
beii!g seen by a negro at Vrork near the
road, were taken up and concealed by
him. The trunks were not injured—one
of th^m, \ye are told, contained np^.vards

A PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE.
A few days since, the !)rig Sea llonx
was upset in the Delaware. At the time
of the accident two ladies were in the
cabin; one was taken out through the
sky-light, the Democi'atic Press gives the
following account of the release of the
other, Mrs. Eberman, from the cabin,
where she remained until the quarter
deck was cut away :
“When the vessel was tipset, Mrs.
Eberman, far advanced in a state of preg
nancy, was lying sea-sick on *'er bed.-—
In an instant she whs cast out of her
birth into the cabin, into which the sea
was pouring in torrents, through the
windows and sky-ligiit. She knew rot
what cause pi'chcd her from her birth,
and amidst midnight darkness,‘found
herself floundering in the wat»*r and as
sailed on all sides by the drifting furni
ture. She heard no sounds hut those
caused by the rushing and dashing ofthr
.waters—she laid hold of the sides of a
Iiirth, into v.hich, buoyed'as she was by
the water, siie .scrambled. It was :/ter-
wards ascertalt^ed that this was the Cap
tain's birth, anfl lb' tunaiely it was a few
inches higher than any other in the ship.
‘'In this birth Mrs. Eberman sa'. with
her head agaiiiit the deck, and i;p to her
head in water. All was Client and dark ;
her s(;nsati(*ns were most pauil'ul and
confused ; she. sup[njs('d tlic vo;,^el had
sunk to tlie !)otiu;ii »jf the l)av. In this
hoi ri!>le s;l'iati(>n, buried alive, siie ;• i\isr)-
ed an (j’-arg*', whi'-li was fh.-.tinp- in tlu'
eal/in; sh*‘ ate it, and it greatly refresh
ed her. She now lieaid a noise (j\er
head, aud wilh a cane which site had
eaught in the water, she struck perpen-
dicuiarly o\er her, against the under
side of the deck. She u as ans\\ ercd by
voi. es ; hope revived -• she breath-:d more
lretd\, atid her mitul became more ali\e
to her actual 'ituation. She heard tlie
sound of the a.xe, it promised her de
liverance, but it created the most ago
nizing ajjpieliensions. Her head was
touciiing, v as pres.sed as^ainst the under
■'ide oi the dcek, iind there it must re
main or be submetged ui water; every
stroke of the axe more ct;rtainly assured
her, tliat it fell directly over her head :
iltese were among her must agonized
moments.
“ At length a ciiip, about the length
of tlie axe, was taken oulTroin tlu; low

he reached at 6-o’clock in the eveninV

him, on behalf of his fellow-citizcns, an

ders will recollect that in giving, a t'.w
days ago, an account of the loss of the I
S|)ring Grove whaling ship, on tiuitoi'.tl
of Africa, in November last, atid the de
liverance of the crew' from captivity a-
mongst tlie Arabs into whose hinds
they had fallen, w e founded, on the
statement of one of the ctew of wlutw,
related to him by an Arab Chief, of the!
wreck, on the same coast, ofanarnicd
ship, anil the murder of the crew, “some
years ago,” a conjecture llut the ihip
referred to was ]'.robabiy or.r laincnttd

parted to iier fate, and ihat of l;er j>allant|
crew, a degree of intcirst, greaur in
projiortion to the obscuiitv in which it|
iius rem:iined involved. When we ex
pressed that opinion, it had escajnd us
that Captain Paddock, of the ship Os-.vc-
go, whose narrative we read some years|
ago, relates a similar story which be re
ceived from the Arabs, as far back as|
the year ISOO. A friend having remind’
ed us of the incident related by PadJock,!
we have turned to it, and fin(l it to cor
respond so nearly to the statement given
lately by the sailor of the whulin^^ »'•'!?»
that vye cannot doubt they both refer lo
one event, and, of course, that the Wasp]
could not have been the unfortunate ship,
referred to by the Arab, whose crew

An Annual Meeting of the Stock'nold*
ers of the. Cape Fear XaMgation Com*
pany was held in the Town Ilouse in.this
town on Friday last. We understand
that the concerns of the Company are in
a more prosperous situation than i*iey
have ever heretofore been, and, as an
evidence of the fact, a dividend ot tour|
per cent, on the capital stock ^''as ae-
dared at this meeting, Jto be |
1st of October next. The profits i
warrant a dividend of more than twice
t!ie above amount, but it was wisely dcti!’*
mined to reserve a fund to cover an\
sible loss, and to ensure a regular i"
dend of at least as much hereuttei. •
far as il is possible to form an
ihei’f’ is no doubt but that such a di'i
will be macUv
