ID. no Whisrs in the North tinctured i with abol itionism; but we do saj- that the Whig party at the North are atsoifrid as" the so-calleJ democratic party in the North. We think the remembrance of the infamous coalition that elected 'Charles Sumner to the United States Senate from 'Massachusetts would ef fectually abut the mouth of t'oeir -Southern confreres when they attempt to speak pf Whig coalitions. Edmund Burke says there never was a democratic party, of any conse quence in Massachusetts, but i only a .set of spoils seekers who coalesced with the abli-. lionists wh enever thera VTras jjkl. prospect-o-f 4 arringeT, "a Tiyainng anywiing.v it, was sucn a coantion as. thia tbaC made George W.

A correenondent of the New York Times irfvs the following account, derived from the statement of a lad, who was induced to ship on board the Gry Eagle, a vessel formerly of Philadelphia, but now belonging to&ew "YorkVand which has, recently been seized as a slaver : : ;--: li. 'he boy aid that his name was James Townf "thathis father was master of a - wna- fer on of New London, but where be now W8S-he could not tell, but presumed that he twas absent from the United States, on a voy- atr to the Pacific or South Seas ; that he was born in or belonged to Philadelphia ; that in the month oi April or last part of Warcn las , he shipped on board of the American brig Gi fey Eagte,of Thila., at N. Y., as steward for a voyage to SL Thomas that he was 1? years of age on the 12th of April last ; that another American was shipped in the same way as himself, as he believes, for St; Thom as, "named John Mitchell. , !is to the others of the crew, he did not know but presumed, fiorn their conforming without remark as to the length of the voy- irro tn St Thnmas. that thtv were aware of the nature of the voyage and the character of the vessel except, possibly, the French men. . The crew consisted of five Frenchmen, three Portuguese, two Americans and one ( SpanlaroT.:; .The American captain's name (assumed; uonaia, arrenenmau , one oau i$hTiaptain,on board: as. passenger name not known ; the first mate, a Frenchman as sumed name Wm. Boudoun 2d. mate a Spaniard-;-name "not given. ; After having been out,5 as he thought, a long time for a voyage to St. Thomas, he asked the captain where he was bound, giving his views as to the length of the voyage not conforming to his shipment, vihen he vas informed that he was on board of a smuggler, and must take his chance with the rest as to the results of the voyage ; and thai they were bound to the coast of Africa for a cargo for Cuba That the vessel wore American colors going out, and Spanish cp miug to Cuba. j i They took on board; over six htindfed ne groes on the coast of Africa, not knowing how many over, and that they landed at Or- tigosa over 570; that they were suddenly surprised by a Bi itish cruiser just as they had finished discharging, and were obliged to lejye immediately ; that be came jo Havana in a schooner provided by the owners of the negroes, but paid his own passage, $13. He escaped the search of officers on a horse fur- nished-by the owner of the estate and the ne gtoej that they jwere pursued by soldiers, and fired ilpbn ; .that his comrades took to the woods, hut as he was well rnountfd, he kept on the road, lollowincr the captain until he reached the coast for embarkation for Hava na, where he had been furnished with every thing he required, and the best quarters to be found near the Plaza San Franc;sco; that all the crew and officers had found the fame provision and abundance, for their comfort ; that all had left Havana, and he was anxious to be,shipped home t.y the American Consul. He understood the place to belong to Don Lorenzo Pedro, where the crew and negroes were concealed ; and further that the biigly 'ng in the harbor alongside of the Spanish brig of war was the Grey Eagle, on board 'of which he shipped in good faith' for an honest voyage to St". Thomas. The boy is intelli gent, tern his story with strai'tforwad simpli city, and evidently has had good common school education.

'-The New York Post learns that arrangements are now in progress, for the publication of the corres pondence of the late Daniel V ebster, in two volumes, uniform with Little & Brown's edi tion of Mr. Webster's speeches, under the editorial supervision of his son, Mr. Fletcher Webster. iThis correpondence will possess more than jordinary . interest and 'value.- Among the correspondents of Mr Webster were most distinguished public men of the last half Cf-ntury, including Madison, Mar shal,' Wirt, Clay, ;Jtory. Among the papers is an account of Mr. Webster's diflSculty, which created some sensation many years agy with the celei rated John Randolph of Roanoke, j They were both 'members of the llohse of Representatives at the same time r The letters will probably be arranged (subject to such changes as the editor may see fit hereafter to adopt,) under the tour hejMs of Political, Professional, Social and Domestic. Under the firit head would be included, among others, certain unpublished papers oh international affairs, as well as let ters; on the domestic politics and parties of Mrf Webster's time the third head would cover such letters as we, hae specimens of in his notes to his New Hampshire steward, John Taylor, Seth Weston, Porter Wnght, and to'his friends generally. The domestic would embrace the letters addressed to the members of his familv. i l 1 U kited States Ship, Cayenne. t San Juan de Nicaragua, July 15, 1854. ; .Ihe U. Sship Cayenne arnved here on the15th instant, after a! long j though ph-as-fint passage, frum New York. On our arrival here, Captain Ilollin?, according to his in f tuitions from the .Secretary of the Navy conimenced to settle the difficultie4 existing beti een the two governments, viz ; to eu force ihe)ayment of the chiimimade by theSteam shij? eompjsny, and demand redress for wrongs andlinjuries done oiir late Minister Mr. Bor land.'.': ' ; j ''-.! . 1 I The authorities here treated every attempt at an amicable adjustment of the difficulty with insult and disdain, j So, on the morning ofthe 12th, we sent a parly, on shore to cap ture their arms and ammunition, and i-sue a proclaination giving them twenty-foiir hours to come to terms, or we would blow the town down. In the meantime the commander of an English war schooner entered a p otest gainsi our proceedings ; and Captain Hol lins informed him he must disregard said pro test, '.but he intended to carry out his instruc tions, and obey orders at all,; hazards, anoV that if the demands were not paid in twenty four, hours he would commence operations." J On the morning of the 13th, the inhabi tants 6l ,the town left, and took to the woods leaving all their property behind them. At nine o'clock, -the twenty-four hours having expired, we hauled abreast of the town and opened afire on it from our starboard battery and continued firing forjseveral hours, ever1 shot taking efiect ; w. j fhot away thejr flag staff,' and down came the enn'gu ; but the houses being frame we j could not do much. injury, tneretore we ceased faring, and sent a party on shore to burn the town, and in ai few hours the -whole place was in ruins. San Juan i now one heap of smoking ashes. ne auinonties nave been taught that our government .will not allow her ministers to be imprisoned with impunity, and also that the commander of the Cyane is the wrong man to trifle with. ; j I I i neglected to saythat the English vessel. seeing that we were in earnest, left in tow of a mail steamer which had just arrived. 1 She goes to Port Royal to report the fact to the squadron. j " j ; Another letter says the demand of Captain Ilollins was for $20,000 indemnity, ahd that Lieutenant Pirkering commanded the party who landed and burned the town. The letter adds t i .. .' ' ; . Two British men of war were in the har bor at the time the steamer Dee, and the schooner Bermuda. Oni or two buildings wrere saved. San Juan had earned the repu tation of being one of the worst towns in this section ; of the world. Her reputation was just. She richly deserved it, and she merited her fate. Mie has a last received her full deserts. No respec able man can regret her annihilation. Her rulers were entirelyyanti Aiuerican in feeling and principle. Captain Holl ins conducted the aflair th rough 6uf. in a most creditable manner. " ' He is remarkable for his judgment and good sense The" na vy and the government may vrell be proud of such an officer. . ' , I learn that the Cayenne sails for Boston on Monday. She takes Mr. Fabius, commer cial agent, home ; she also take3 the remains of Purser Ashman. He died here two years since, while the ship Decatnr was lyinw here. Everything quiet I regret to say that the health of the Cayenne h quite bad. Many cf-the crew are; down offers o;uite wellfi ihi" On motoii of John D.
