FROM ST. AUGUSTUS Wc learn by
the sloops Lidy li'uthinton and General IVatlf
ington, from St. Augustine, that the Patriot bri;;
which took Mr. Corrixoru out of the schr. A.
ry, of tl is port, as mentioned some short time
since. is called the General Jiumez i she was u
Spanish Guineaman, from Africa, taken by a
small Patriot privateer, which was soon after
wrecked, and the crew and commission transfer
red to the bri She is commanded by a Balti
morean, has but about twenty men on board, and
those h a mutinous state, with upwards of 250
slaves. She appeared ofi" St. Augustine about 12
;r U days since; the commander sent a letter
n shorcacMrtsscd tojiovernor LqjpixckjuiI4
ling that his vessel was short of water and pro
visions, and that if a supply was sent oft to them
the Governor's Son would be immediately re
leased The message returned by the Govern'
r was, that much as he loved his child, he would
r.oi supply them with a mouthful of provisions, or
a drop of water to save him from the yard-arm ;
;nd pointedly forbid any Spaniard from holding
the leist intercourse with them. But two or
three joutig gentlemen of this city, friends to
young CopriNGEB, who happened to be in St.
Augustine at the time, requested permission of
t!ie Governor to board the brig and endeavor to
fleet the release of his son. lie told them, that
beinj; American citizens, they coukl act as they
thought proper, but that no loat from the garri
son could be furnished them. They then re
paired on board an American vessel in the har
l.nr, obtained the loan of her boat, and the assist
ance of a few seamen, with which they repair
cd on board the brig they were received with
civility by the Captain, and after some consulta
tion, he released Mr. CorriNCin, and allowed
Jiim to go on shore in the boat. The trig re
mained off the harbor for several days, and then
Lore awav. as was reported, for St John's River,
3ast-Florida. The commander, we understand,
was very rnions to dispose of his slaves, and
offered them a S 100 each, on board. fCJ By

that the above brig was on Friday last carried in

Extract of a letter to the editor of the N agar a
Patriot, dated , "Msckinaw, June 20..
" A letter was received some short time since at
Chicago, from Maj. Marston, commanding Fort
Armstrong It appears that the express commu
nication had been cut off, and that the Major avail
ed himself of a Sack Indian to communicate with
Maj. Baker, at Chicago. He states that two of
his men had been killed by the Indians that
they had attempted to cutoff his provisions, boats,
fice. but failed mat thev had made something
like a regular attack tipon the fort, but were re
pulsed. His command was too small to think' of
leaving the fort in presence of the enemy, lie
had applied to Col. Leavenworth for aid, but the
Colonel's command was too small to afford any.
" 1 he fact is that great apprehensions are en
tertained for the safety of all the posts west of
Green Hay and Chicago. I here are so few men
at these places, that it must be a great temptation
to those Indians, who, no doubt, view with con
cern the rapid strides we arc making in their
country.
" There are some three or four hundred Indians
at this post, on their way to Drummond's Island,
for the purpose of receiving presents from their
great father, George IV. I am told they receive
annually, from &40 to g50,000 worth of goods

Message of the President to Congress, recom
mending a suspension of hostile proceedings
against Florida, in consequence of the embarrass
ments of the Spanish government, has gone the
rounds of the Spjnhh papers (which are now free
even to licentiousness) with comments, 111 every
instance, highly honorable to the" magnanimity
of Mr. Monroe, whom the Spaniards, in the full
ness of their joy, declare (says our correspondent)
"Act a tb,and though a hrrtric, may get to Hear
tn !" Nevertheless we are given to understand.
that in the midst of their acknowledgments of
his forbearance in this instance, they do not for
get to ascribe it in some degree to the extraorr
dinary and pressing interference of his Imperial
MHjenty the Fmperor of Rusria ; and in truth
facts seem to justify this conclusionNot satisfied
with recommending to our government through
its Minister at his own court, to exercise forbeai
'ancenTm preach
ing with puritanical simplicity the causeof" peace
and concord," but for fear his friendly admonitions
might be forgot, he orders the same sermon to
be preached in duplicate by his Minister at Wash
ington, and afterwards in triplicate to the Amer
ican Minister at Madrid.; This U acknowledged
to be a most righteous act of friendship on the
part of the Fmperor, but the officious repetitions
of it look like being friendly over much, and a if
there was a lurking disposition underneath to do
something more than recommend, if h advice was
not taken.
" In a late Madrid paper (says our Correspon
dent) a curious article appeals, which would seem
to he intended as a lesson for the next Minister,
who shall hare the task of negotiating with the
United States, and Is certainly a portrait of Span
ish diplomacy.
u The political conduct of the old Secretary of
State, (Pizarro,) is under review, when, amongst
other things, the writer makes serious .barge
against him for ratifying the convention ot I80i,
and again in 1818, and expressly states his xount
of talent in not being able to shuffle on as his pre

Very few, how ever IiauVned, but will be brought to

very little to persuade them that they have experienced
that change which will render their ignominious death a
blessing, instead of punishment. Hence we behold aL
most every execution a scene of triumph the gallows
the vestibule, pf heaven. Ifncc we behold the murdcret..
glorying In lus crime, as being the means employed by , '
the Deity to aecompluJi lus salvation. . Hence we see the .
papers teeming with the dying confessions, or rather ex.
ultations, of the murderer, the pirate and the destroyer
of female chastity and to apread tlieir pemiciotis influ.
ence still wider, they are ushered forth in pamphlets, and -placed
in the hand of hawkers, to be scattered into ev
ery nook and corner of the country. '
. Hull, otic of the two who lately robbed the mail
near lUhi more, -and murdered, in cold blood, the inno
cent driver, tlie fatlier of a family, dependent on him for
support, writes thus to his uncle : MMy arrest for the
crime,' which I must shortly expiate with my life, was ;
myateriou it was the work of Providence I can call y
it Cttheriy love it put -a sudden stop to my w icked cv
reer, and I have no doubt will terminate Sot my greatest
possible good. If the laws of ny country condemn me
to death, and I am snatched from the embraces of a ten
der parent, it is to save my soul from everlasting miaery..
If I dl into deep disgrace, H Is on purpose that I may
rise to high honors. Even the iron doors of this pubGo
house of justice and correction, open to me my way to
the right land of my heavenly Fatlter." A letter exhib
iting less exultation and more penitence, would, we think,
be more appropriate, and better suit the enormity of his
guilt ) but it is not our intention to condemn the feeling-
he lias expressed, but only the publication of them to the
world. Buch a letter, undoubtedly, .must be gratifying. ,
and consoling to his friends ; but it is a blind, senseless
policy to let it go any farther. We believe lus arrest to
have been " the work of Providence but we can hard-
lygive credence to the assertion, that hi; violating the
laws of his country and of his Cod, wxs designed by Prov
idence, " on purpose to raise him to high honors." What
ever oUiers may tlunk, we cannot assent to the idea, that
u tiod is the author of evil" or Uut to save the soul of
one man, he would commission that man to destroy the .
soul of another. -Such a doctrine is directly opposite to
our notions of the justice and benevolence of the Deity ; "A
and it is a doctrine, too, w hich, even if it be true, ought y
not to be inculcated. It places the blackest Villains in so
ciety on a level with its best members ; and destroys the -safety
of all, in asserting, by implication, that tlie destruc
tion dT the life of one, two, or three useful and valuable
citizens may be the appointed means of u fatherly love,"
to effect the salvation of so many of the very dregs of
society. .V r

vi ill see the impropriety of ,thcir conduct, and be sensi

let them comfort and console their wretched inmates
let them light up on the countenance of misery and guilt,
