it is no wonder they should doubt it. Even the next day one of them said to him, " white people never send negroes back to Africa; I never see my children again."

One of them asked, with great concern, if we would not send back those who were sold last year and seemed distressed, at being told that it would be impossible. A gentleman who was present at the sale, dcscribes their parting to their sevr.i 1 m:i;frrs a most afflicting

The British Parliament, previous to adjournment on the 8th, for the Easter recess, passed a bill for restraining cash paynacnts at the bank of Ireland, which afterwards received the - royal assent. The committee of secrecy, appointed to consider the state of the Bank of Knrdand. with reference to the
o j . expediency of resuming cash payments at the period fixed by law, reported, on the 5th, that incy were engaged m ucuueraiing on the .subject, ami hoped to be able to make a report at an early day after the recess, Believing that they shall be able to fix a period for the final removai or me preaciu resiriction on the Bank, which would be delayed by a continuance of the drain of the treasure from the bank, on , account of its engagement to pay all notes of an earlier date than January i, 1817, and smali notes under 5I. the committee recommend that a bill be forthwith passed, restraining all such payments in gold coin, until their report should be received ind acted upon. LA PLATA. Accounts to the 6th. of March inform U3 that, Gen. Artigas, is successful against the Portuguese, that he daily receives deserters from their ranks, who are ccnerallv kindly treated, and allowed to return home to the Rio Grande, r rom the same source it is also hinted that an union is not far oif, between Artigas and the independents of Buenos Ayres. Such an event would certainlv j enable the republicans to drive the Portuguese out of Monto his predecessor had on a tormer occAsion and that he was on the tve Gf retiring from his professional duties at that post, with, a view to return to England- If any dependance can be placed on the contents of ietters detailing particulars of these disputes, it is highly u the faculty, that notonehasbeen found base enough to comply with sir Hudson's wishes, in detailing the private conversations, which they, as professional men, may occasionally hear from the lips of their patient, Bonanarte.

this description, whom they overtook; and they informed the prisoner of the nature of ineir orueis uiu men icauinebs to execute them, lie firmly expostulated with the officer demanded a trial, claiming his rip;htsasan American citizen ; but finding his expostulations vain, ne kijcii uuwu ana re ceived the fatal bullet in hb breast. In another instance, it is reported that, in the Alabama territory, .a. soldier was condemned by an officer, as a punishment for intoxication, to be ducked; which was executed on the spot, and carried to that excess that the man was literally drowned. This order was alsoissued without the form of a trial. At Greenbay, on the western side of Lake Michigan, the miHtary, as the same report states, has assumed a complete control over the civil authority. Citizens nave been taken up for real or pretended offences, been tried bv courts martial, and the punishment of what is called picketting inflicted upon them; tnat is, by placing the culprits on four vooden pins, drove firmly in the ground, with the nointsexnosedabove therround 1 1 0 a half or quarter of. an inch ovr th..- h npended by ments on them, nor add any reflections on the parties implicated.
