That on the first of December, when every thing and person on board the - vessel tfe perfectly quiet after four days: of entire security, the three persons were, by the order of Mackenzie, hung at the yard-ann at mid-day. The allegation, in some of the papers, that it was proved to have been the inten tion of the mutineers to execute their pro ject on arriving at St. Thomas. is whblly destitute of any evid.-nee. And h:l it been their design, it was effectually frue irated so far as these prisoners were con cerned, by their confinement. At S' - Thomas, any of them might have bean left, and the power or the officers of the vessel strengthened to any extent that was necessary. The statement in the intelligencer. cop ied apparently from the New York Amer ican, that Spencer violated an engage- 1 ment formerly nde to resign, seem, to have been deemed necessary to prejudice the public mind against him, that those who slew him might have a more faora ble hearing. It is untrue ; he did resign, and the Secretary of the Navy. on the 0 recommetidation of his commanding ofli- E car, considering the nature and circum resof the offence, (inebriation) restored bis warrant, with a strong admonition; a and this wasdone without the solicitation it fr any of his friends. His ahe is repro-i sented in the same paper to have been over it 20. Had ne lived be would have been 19 d the 28ih Januiry next. As to the probability that such a mere boy,-utterly unacquainted with naviga tion.-brough up in the interior, would ] seriously endeavor to seduce to mutiny an old seaman who had arrived at the rank of boatswnin's mate, and who is represen-ed to have been emoployed heretofore on board d a slaver, or to have been a pirate-an im- v partial tribu-,al before ubich both sides ti will be heard, will deternine. t The idea of the inutiteers cruising off Sar.dy Hook to intercept the pacLets. seems to huye been throw,. in for the spe cial bet-fit of the earchants of New York. The papers. such as they are, contain no such information. The only account we have given l Spencer hcielr, is. that it as ah - joke. Ifit shall appear to have been the ..cre ro- t mance of a heedless boy amusing hinself. it is true, in a dangerous manner, but s01 devoid of *nch murderous designcs as it inpoted, and irthe executiou of hitnd md two seamen, (agaiit one of whon, at least there it out yet a particle of eviet.-ace.) should prove to have beenc Ilia ra..ult ,frun mauly lear or of a despotie ?tmpehcr. ad wlahlly unncessary at tice timee to repres, or prevent at n-stiny-if all this can ap pear, it cana 14 be doubted that the laws . will be vindicated. The laws of Con;ren, paescribing the Navy regulations. forbid ihe taking of human lire, even by the sen- o tatnce of a court tartial, befure which all y parties are heard, without tia sanction of tae President of the United States, or. if without the United States, or the com- , mander of the fleet or squadron.

(a lapse of moat five year.) he has been an outcast frota oeiety, a fugitive from justice. a vagabund on s earth. and at last has to expiate for his rime on the fatal tree. Beware, Oh ye mod rate drinkers. ere it is too late. We copy Judge Earle's Address to Wiley reeman from the Temperance Advocate. Wiley Freeman:-Toe days that you ave to live are now nombered. What as heretofore bees delivered as the opin. on of this Court, on the motion made in our behalf, has already apprised you of ie doom that awaits you. Havin Pro ided on your trial below, I have still the ainful duty to perform of pronauncing ie final judgment of the law. Before I proceed to this lst office in ursuanceof the ancient and commenda le usage of this Court, I would. fain ad ress to you some corcsiderations and re ections, which the occabion prompts, and rhich may serve to awaken you to a be oming sens. of the 9-car crime you have inmitted. amft to the awful condition to rhich it has reduced you. Whatever say have been the alternative fears of unishmnut, and hope% of escape, which ave heretofore ingled in your bosom, j dierfact it with anziety, thev have now eased to contend for tue ia-istery, and ave equally given place to the appalling ertaiity which crushes hope and converts pprehmnsion to despair. Death. when occurs as the natural close of our mor if existence, even after a well-speut life. rarely a welcome event. But to the irtuous and the upright, whese retrospect (the past furnishes no record of guilt, Ad who may look forward to the future, ith the consolations of hope. who sink wn to rest amidst thIse sympathy of ituds and the rcepect'of the world, death divested of much that sharpens the poig sncy of its sting. But the fate which waits you. has no such alleviations. Your latter end does not approach, in e fullness of time, and the maturity of roored years, under the cheering inflsn. a which might divest it of its terrora;. it is precipitated by gn act, which clothes em is two fold malignity: an act which yawrtahbed-yam-b:---Med, sad asteapedyour souli n arremediable 'itt; hie has driwtf"'o'w.oursdev b lends who might have sustalned you with ir countettance and syenpat)kin any ens of virtuous sufering, whiu, sen iu forth a n andering out-cast from oe enes of your youth, and the home of mre manhood, and has even brought yen ick, to be offered up a victim to the law hieh you have violated, amidst the eze aious of the community whose feelings au have outrage'l When man encounters his brother man. those fenrful conflicts which evil pas ins proimpt, and blood is shed in equal iabat, a::d on just provocation, we feel at he asiyer is not a lit subject for pun umnt.

Bfut you have countered no equal iin open conflict: no have not islain our enemy for any al or fanucied injury.
