KISINO SUN INDIANA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1333. Nothing of importance has reached us from Portugal since our last It appears more certain that Marshal Bourmont and his associates in arms have quitted the cause of Don Miguel; and that the pretty little 'wide-mouthed,' duck-ffnAVerf Donna Maria will he sustained upon the throne without much farther difficult .

Algeo. On hearing, this, Algeo steped forward to give hira battle, when Barns drew his pistol a'ad recreated to the inner part of the, deck. Algeo went to some ot his companions, borrowed a Spanisli ke.'ife, returned to the deck, broke dawn the door, and pursued Barns to the. stem of the boat, where, after making several unsuccessful attempts to, Ptah said Barns, he struck one of (j,0 stanchions of the boat in such : manner that the knife dropped, w hic'n w as immediately seized by Barns who Jmu- indicted seven wounds on the 'v jdy of Algeo, of which six were morital While Barns was thus busily en

John W alker, one ol Algeo s companFt-.. - 1 I ' . - . I 11
ions. Ilns occurred aoout II, n. oi.
During the rest of the dav, Algeo was
constantly entreating his companions to
avenge his death, lor he was aware that bis time in this world was short;
hut as they did not seem to pay much attention to his entreaties, the Captain and passengers did not feel the least
uneasy lor the safely of barns, whose
wound was hut slight. It scem:, how
ever, that more attention was paid to
them than was supposed; for, at about
3 o'clock, on the morning of the 21st,
the unfortunate Barns was shot, whnc lying in his hammock. The perpetra
tor of this cowardly deed was unknown ;
though suspicion at once rested upon John Walker, who hr.d not been seen
for several hours. At 6 o'clock the
boat was searched from top to bottom,
but nothing of alker could be found During the rest of the day little of con sequence occurred, excepting the con
plant drunkenness of the mate and sailers, who by their threats very plainly showed that they were disrhased with
the captain and passengers, for offering a reward of five hundred dollars, for
the discovery of the unknown murder,
for, from circumstances, we were confi
dent that more than one had a hand in
the business, On the night of the 22d,
a plot was discovered, which, if carried into effect, would have proved the destruction of the boat and passengers.
On this discovery, the male and four of
the sailors were arrested and confined
The boat was again searched, and to
our great surprise John Valuer was found in the hold. We immediately put him in confinement with his companions, keeping a strict watch over tbcm until we arrived at Mill's Point, whore they were delivered over to the civil authority of that place. The plot appeared to be as follows: A slowmatch was to have been put to two kegs
of powder, which were in the hold ; the
six mutineers were to make their escape by means of the small boat, leav
ing the rest to their fate.
From the Baltimore American cf Yor. 22. j
We learn that in consequence of or
ders received here by express, on Wed
nesday afternoon, from Washington, tw o of our largest ships, the Herald and the Jane, have been chartered to con
vey U. S. troops from Fortress Monroe to Alabama, touching at Savannah on
their way. The ships are luting out for that peculiar service with k!1 possi
ble despair';. a::d v. ! v;i !:' moment they are r : ( .' . have led to tins exiruordin trj. movement, we are not yet informed. W hether thetneasurc lias been adopted as one of roere precaution, or whether any new difficulty has arisen in reference to the arrangement of the Indian
land question in Alabama, which has
called for the exhibition there of ?.n increased armed force on the part of
the General Government, will, proba
bly, be known in a dav or two.
PUBLIC MEETING!! The citizens of Rising Sun are respectfully solicited to attend at the Methodist church, on Friday evening next, at early candle light, for the purpose of taking into consideration tbe propriety of having a Special Charter granted us during the present session of the Legislature.

A young man named hell, hoarding

A jicio horror. A poor woman, living in a kitchen cellar in Water st., Phila., lately heard her child utter a moanh'g noise in the course of the night, but being weary she paid little attention to it at first, but being again awaked by its cries and hastening to it, found a number of large rats feeding upon her infant. The unfortunate little creature was so horribly mangled as to leave little hopes at first of its recover. It is now, however, the oninicn of the
physicians:, thr.t it may be saved though it will be necessary to amputate the arm. Aaiiantityof ircnlhcr A New Hampshire paper says they have bad several days of warm weather in that part of
the country, which the old Indies call
"weather breeders," and if they should
rove as prolihc as such breeders gen
erally are, he thinks they may look out
for a ood deal of weather during the
enuing winter and spring! We think it quite likely.

Fro?n he Cincinnati dnzittc.j STEAM BOAT MUTINY. The following account of an .Httempted mutiny on board the steam- hoat Freedom, has been furnished h;' "'e Captain, and some of the passeig'ers, who were on hoard at (he time tie eccurrence took place: .in account of the hfood thirsty proceeding v that, occurred on board of the Sleamn
Freedom, Capiat n Philip Richtrdson, On lur ji'wy from .Aim Ortans to f'Ouisxile. Nov. 20. Two of the dec! hands were sent in the hold to regulae some freight preparatory to getting ot. One of them letting the candle fdl, was beaten for the offence by tin other, whose name was James Algeo. Some time after this one of i,o. deck passengers, whose name wai Barns,
while standing by the fires, hwring of
the circumstance, remarked, that lie .should like fo whip just such i man as
Kxulosi'in. An English paper men
tions a rnst dismal disaster that lately
befel a French soldier at Grenoble, while exercising at target. Having accidentally spilt a quantity of powder from a ball cartridge into his "upper works," Monsieur in firing off his tirelock, ignited the loose grains, and blow off his mustasbics, but received no other material injury. This we suppose
may be fairly encugh called a "hair
breadth escape. Some European writers still enter tain the idea that the original progeni
tors of our race w ere exceedingly large, and tall in stature; and a French Academian has even proceeded to give the
precise altiludeof some of them. Adam,
for instance, was 1 23 feet 9 inches in
height; Noah about 100, Julius Cesar
a little less than 5, &c. This theory
of a progressive diminution in the size of mankind is exceedingly ingenious and satisfactory, and we admire the
symmetry of the system, especiaily.
1 he only trouble we have in the prem
ises is, in the case of Cesar; for were
the progress downward proportioned
between him and old Noah, the race now-a-days ought to be about the size
of a dwarf gad fly.
It appears by the American Almanac that there are in the U. States twentyone medical schools, and 2071 medical

The streets of Philadelphia are in

the Treasury has selected the Bank of Louisville, at Louisville, Kentucky, as the depository of the public moneys at
that place. Globe.

The Buffilo (N. Y.) Journal, on the meteoric phenomena of the 1 1 th, differs in two important particulars from
all other accounts we have seen of that
occurrence 1st, in describing the hi
minous bodies as shooting upwards as well as in all other directions; and 2d, in staling that the Aurora Borealis was
visible, during the w hole time.
It is the opinion of many reflecting
persons, that the Emancipation cf the slaves in the British West Indies, will have the same effect that is said to have
produced in St. Domingo. It will par
alyze, at least for a time, the agricul
ture of the islands lessen their pro
duclions, and raise the price of eugars. In this case, tbe duty on the article may be still further reduced; and a greater demand for our slaves may be
created, for cultivating the sugar lands in Florida and Louisiana, in addition
to the value which the increased prices of cotton have already produced. Thus
our slaves may be taken off in greater numbers, and at higher prices; and the population of lhe south Atlantic States
undergo a considerable modification.

LYDIA.YA DEMOCRA T, "crushed at Indi vnafolis, Indiana. The proprietors of the Indiana Democrat take this method of informing l!" public, that they have made ar- .;. :-' !:-, i-;o employment ef com
telent Reporters, to ensure a faithful

week, during the session. and will contain, in addition to the legislative re
ports, the earliest important news of
hp ':iv inrpimi nnrl nompslir. ( ,nn-
gressional intelligence, politics, miscellaneous matter tic. &x. The political course of the paper is so well known and established, that it is unnecessary
to remark further on this subject, than
to say, that it will be the ambition of
the proprietors to make it deserving the liberal patronage it has already
received from an enlightened public.
The additional expense. o a scrm-week
ly paper, in slock, materials and work
.i . . i i
men, together wim the employment of a Reporter for each branch of the
legislature, makes it necessary that
we should appeal to the generosity of
the citizens of our State, to sustain us
in the undertaking hoping and believing, that we shall be enabled to make
a full return for their patronage. TERMS:
The price of subscription, to regular subscribers, is two dollars for fifty-two
numbers, if paid in advance; two dol
