On Saur day last the Senate ratified the new treaty w Great Britain, at nine o'clock inthe evening. T vote was 39 to 9. ne injunction of secrecy has not been removed; therefore we cannot yet publish the treaty in detail; but sufficient is already known to satisfy every person that it settles, on the most hon orable principles, all the difficult questions that were left open, or that grew up, since the great treaty of Independence in 1787. Tais great work hasbeen accomplished by Loid Ashburton and John 1 *s admivistration, and torm a memorable era inthe history of England United States. A copy of the Treaty wil! »¢ published as soon as received; in the meantime lec usrejoice and be glad, It seemsthat a strong opposition was made to this treaty, originating in Me. Beaton and the friends of Mr. Van Buren in the Senate. On the contrary, John C. Calhoun, with that high spirit of patriotism which always distinguis!.«: a man of real geniusand talent, came out nobly and supported the Treaty, on the same principles that |i advocated the last war. As soon as the injunction of secrecy shall have been removed, the speeclir and votes will be published, and it will thea be re the true friends of the republic and who were not. Inthe meantime, it is very evident that to John Tyler, and to his peculiar independent relation to both the great parties, are we indebted for the happy coajuncture of circumstances that have brought this treaty to a satisfactory conclusion. Had Genera} Harrison lived, it never could have been donc Party spirit, running high, would have preve: its success. Mr. Webster, as the Secretary of Stat has done well; but he could have succeeded nothing, without the “‘ vantage ground” given bim by the peculiar position of the President, independ ent of both parties, “ suspending tne animation” of the whigs on one side, and exciting the hopes aud fears of the democrats on the other, by the noble exercise of the conservative power of the constitu- tion. he crowds of ladies on the Battery, the loafers, the ops, the gentlemen, the children—the tout énsem). vas most interesting. Inside the garden it was new snd amusing to see the crowds scattered promiseu ously about the circle, whilst the orators addressed trom the first platform, and the steps leading to it were crowded with eager limeners. The meeting was called to order by appointing for President, i MICHAEL WALSH. VICK-PAESIDENTS. ‘Thomas Whelan, William Riley, Augustus St.John, William S. Mundy, Christopher Gurger, solomoa Canfield, John Ketchum, SBCRETARIE®. T. B. Earle, Thomas McSpadden, Andrew Nesbit. The foltowing preamble resolutions were then presented by E. E. Camp, and received by shout upon shout of applause and approbation :— Whereas, William Henry Harrison and John Tyler were elected to the offices of President and Vice President nithe United States, by the political party formerly called Federal, but more receatly denominated the Whig party cad whereas by the death of the said Harrison, the said John Tyler has succeeded according to the provisions of he Constitution of the United States to the functions of the chief executive officer of the Union, and in the execu. ion of which duties he has given strong and repeated proofs that he is a true disciple of the old Jeffersonian school of politicians—Now, therefore, we, who are here assembled to express our free and unbiassed opinions—wr, who claim to be unwavering, untrammelled Democrat, taking into consideration the alarming and critical situa- ion of the country, brought about by the factious and cuinous proceedings of the Clay Whigs in both houses of ‘ongress, feel itto be our imperative duty to come for- ward aud express our decides and deliberate opinions ipon the aspect of affairs in the present collision between he President and the Clay Whigs, and therefore present the following resolutions for the consideration of this meeting :— Resolved, That we highly approve of the honest, fear less, and patriotic contact of John Tyler, in no- bly resisting the destructive measures brought forward in’ Congress by the reckless and violent partizans of Henry Clay, and we sincerely believe the present pe tration and discomfiture of the federal party, to have been mainly produced by the defeat of their darling measure— a Mammoth Baak, alias a National Curse. Resolved, ‘Phat as democrats in the most pure and com- prehensive sense of the word, we hold it not only to be our right, but an imperative duty to openly support with- vat consulting any one, every man who shall prove by his acts, that he isan honest and disinterested friend of our principles. Resolved, That we have too high an opinion of our party and our principles, to bellevethet either. theone or he other, can be affected otherwise than advantageously, by the support of honest men and honest measu: Resolved, That in supporting Jonn Tyler, we de it sole. ly as democrats, asa part and portion of the great demo- cratic party, for his democratic acts; and that we shall be guided entirely in that support by his future conduct, and will not be deterred from expressing our sentiments by iny of the secret movements of political cliques or iii- sriguing demagogues. esolved, That a change in some of the members of he preseut cabinet, and a removal of some of the rene ades who hold public place under his administration— but not through his gift—would add much to his already icquired popularity, and tend to convince the Democracy M4 the nation that in the administration of the governme:it xe is determined that none but men of pure political prin- ciples shall be sele-ted as public agents. esolved, That we have no faith or confidence in those ald political hacks and renegades, who, like th ock, are always ready for a change, and who, ish, float with the stream, after the current of »pinion has been formed by manly spirits, who judge m vy their acts, and whoare independent enough to expr at opinion wMhout looking forward to count the chances hat will fall to their share, il success attend their efforts. Let John Tyler beware of such new friends, as they are nut wolves in sheep’s clothing. Resolved, That John Ty! st rely for support from he honest hearts and sound heads of the “subterranean” Demoerats of this country, and not from those cool, calc’ wing and intriguing political demagogues, who pande o all men’s tastes, and who are the blood-suckers an: vampires of the nation’s best blood and treasure. Resolved, That a copy of these proceedings be forwari- sd to John Tyler, President ofthe United States, and that hey be published in the Madisonian, Globe, Albany gus, Richmond Enquirer, ana the free and independ- ent press of this city. The resolutions having been unanimously adopi- ed, cries were made for Shalerof the Sixth, when ue appeared upon the stage, and said— Fellow-citizens :—I feel bound to obey your call, not rom any personal feeling on my part, but as a freeman and ademocrat, haying the interest and welfare of my country at heart; | feel that I owe it tomy country to step forward on this glorious occasion, {t is not my Intention J.C Ker, who wi Tue Youxo Democracy ox tue Battery.—T lic “young democracy” met again yesterday afternoon on the Battery and in Castle Garden, and continued the agitation of the singular movement recently be: gun in the Park, that looks towards some very curious events in the democratic party hereafter. Arich and full account ef their proceedings will be found in this day’s paper. The tone, temper, and character of the reselut and speeches are unique. They breathe a decided hostility to the “old clo’ party of office begga headed by Noah—the same to certain office holdvrs of this city—desides a very warm manifestatior towards a recomposition of the Cabinet, and an in dependeat support to John Tyler. Mike Wals':*s speech isthe most naive and original thing we ever read. Mike, evidently, as a speaker, beats Boz as a writer all to pieces. Arnivat or Lorn Asnavrron.—Lord Ashburt and suite arrived yesterday afternoon at 5 o’cloc' by the Camden and Amboy route, and took up | briefabode in the apartments which had been pr pared for himatthe Astor House. James Buchan- an, Esq:, her Majesty’s Consul, attended his Lord" shipand accompanied himto the hotel. We heard that James G. King, now principal financ ci pital chap in several point», since the abdication of Mr. Biddle, was also in at- airy, and a ci with his horses and carriage. 8 We anderstand that Lord Ashburton may remain | ‘© presentto you an historical or theoretical harangue to Henne be orCiec-vinik Bou each tien ori xcite your approbation or applause, but I shall dwell for y v sit Bo part 1iew short moments upon the occasion s now of several splendid /éies, getting up to celebrate yrought us together. It is but two short ce the two great parties of this country were rallied against each ther in political hostility, and during which conflict the Democracy were defeated ; but in such a manner and by such meanis that no man who now hears the sound of my voice can doubt the fact that the victory was won by base misrepresentation, and fraud piled upon fraud. The cry then was—" give us achange”—and we will give you two dollars aday, and roast beef; and now we have the negociator and ratificator of the great treaty betw England and the United States. Furst, there will be a most splendid dinner given him by the mercha of New York atthe Astor House. The arrangeme are nearly ready. Secondly, a most splendid we are bound to enrol the name of John Tyler in the same bright list. ‘The whig party had made great pre] ions for anextensive war on hum-n rights, when the knell of Harrison struck a death blow to their hopes. He wns a ood man, but a miserable bod statesman. In his place the Almighty raised up an honest man in the person of John Tyler, who boldly threw himself into the breach; and as an honest demecrat, he is deserving of our warmest support, and he shall have it (Loud cheors) And his name shall resound through every hill and valley of the Union. (Cheers.) We have met here not to celebrate the triumph of faction, but of principle. To celebrate things not like mountains of Clay, seen afar off and fading in the distance, (great laughter,) but truth and honest. (Cheers.) ‘The sober second thought of the people is now reverberating through this lund in the election returns. (Loud cheers) Fellow citizens, the destiny of this peo- ple is writes in the great book of nations, and in that book it occupies the first page. | (Tremendous cheers) Be firm, be resolute, and trust to God for the result. In the words of one of our patriots, “ Truth crushed te earth will rise again, ‘The eterna! years of God are her’s, But error, wounded, writhes in pain ‘And dies amid her worshippers.” (Loud cheers.) Here there were uproarious cries for ‘ Walsh,” “Mike Walsh,” “ Walsh.” Micnagt, Warsu then rose amid loud cheers and said,— that [am quite unequal tothe task of addressing you vening, but yet [cannot refrain from expressing the ratification I feel at addressing this assembly of freem ‘ree-men in the best and purest sense of the word. , from the control of any set of men or clique who would ride rough shod over you if they could, and force their opinions down your throats whether you were disposed to swallow themor not. The present meeting and its occa- sion, are subjects that answer well for honesty and honest men. Itisanew era in the history of the world, when men are free to think and judge for themselves—free trom all the machinations by which old party men would sur- round them. (Cheers.) ‘Ten years ago this thing could not have been done in any part of the United States, and even at this time it could be done in no other city in the Union but New York. ers.) New York is wthe U. States, what Paris is to France—what ancient Rome was to her vast empire—(cheers) what the heart is to the body— (cheers) and as she beats slow or quick, the whole Union has to keep time to hor. (Loud cheers.) This being the case, is it not the duty of every man in this great city who loves honesty, and right, and truth, to come forward and help to give a free and healthy tone to public opinion ; and to put @iwn the miseratile, corrupt,’ suicidal c.iques trot preside like cankers over the party they are daily destro ing. (Loud cheers.) Itis high time that we should don the wretched system which we have been submitting to for years—receiving our political opinions as a g: m@ny of us receive our clothes—second handed! (Roars of laughter at this hit at Noah and the old elo’ clique.) I seein this movement, the commencement of @ system that is going to break up every species ef midnight cliques, dic- tation, and party management in the democratic ranks. (Cheers.) And the spirit of freedom now calls on you by all you hold sacred upon earth (when treason inthe garb of noisy patriotism is stalking abroad over the land) to aid the honest patriot, John Tyler, who alone, unuided, un- assisted but by the sincerity and convictions of his honest heart, breasted the storm of tyranny, treachery, and trea- son, and, like Siccius Dentatus, that noble old Romana, ty, ine the sole shield for freedom in a most trying this her last rampart on earth—from midnight ination.

(Shouts of applause.) Let us, therefore, render thanks to the man ; and grateful must be every American heart, and grateful am J, to the Ruler otall—who has aguardiau eye to the weifare of this free ind happy country, that at such a time—at such a momen- an honest Whig was found who had the cou- cage to stretch forth his arm and stay this doom upon us, asa nation, (Cheers.) Yes,*Gentlemen, thie proud nation, the refuge of oppression of the old and new world, the only ‘lace where freedom can be said to rest in quiet and repose, this nation, Gentlemen, was ebout to be shackled with the nanacles that have held Europe in submission. This party, vith all their previous professions of love for the dear peo- sle, were about to introduce a specimen of monarchy, in he shape of monied kings, and taxation by a tariff, when John ‘Tyler rescued it from their grasp and dominfon (Loud cheers.) Such was their object, and like the slaves f Europe, weshould have been debased to the condition of hewers of wood and drawers of water—like them we should have been the mere subjects of a mom yed and ploated aristocracy. I speak, gentlemen, as a democrat of the old wigwam, and as one who believes that the best cur- rency ot a free ‘land, is the currency of freemen. (Ap- Jause.) John Tyler has not only vetoed a United States Bank twice uccession, but he has also stayed the mad of adistribution of the public domain among po- litica! gamblers and heedle+s speculators, connecte! as i was with a tariff that was only calculated to mokea rich nau richer and a poor man poorer. In these acp/he has acted in accordance with democratic principley and he, therefore, dererves as he must receive, the appr@pation of every correct mind who desires to do justice to his fellow man. And forthusdomg his duty, he has been belabored and badgered by the Clay whigs, as the Winebago would yre a wild buffalo, but thank God his honesty and inde. gendence have overcome all their assaults. (Cheers.) With John Tyler himself, | have nothing to do, my rally- place isamong the hard fisted democracy of this em- 1m, and as long os he advocates and sus- tains measures that they approve of, none will be so base as not vo do him honor for his honest and fearless conduc! he conduct of the whigs has {lly proved the assertion made previous to their ascendency, that they could not carry on this government for two years; and it has scarcely passed ere they in their madden. edcourse are now publicly threatening the life of the President, and daily assimilating his public acts to the ca- reer of a an Arnold, and a Judas! (Cries of oh, ol!) Let John Tyler pursue an honest and fearless course, and he will findthe peg of this nati “ly at his side to do hin honor—they will support him in time ofnoed with the same energy, the same fire, the same zeal, that they would support the bright flag of their country in the hour of battle. (Shouts of applause, and three choers for Shaler.) After Mr. Shaler had concluded, there were lond cries for “ Waish”—* Mike Walsh,” &e. Mr. Tayton then rose and said :—If ever there was oc- casion fer the democracy of this country to rejoice, it was ve ve met to do honor toa man whom we seen standing like a rock of adamant, whilst an ocean of anarchy and malice have been be i that rock, And it is our duty to say to him by one of old, better than we are, “ Well done, thou good and faithful servant.” (Here there was a cry in the crowd, of “ How about StatefBank,s") We aay that he has laid down the right principles, and has done well for hiscountry, And I want no better voucher for it than the abuse of the whigs ; and the remark of the old Virgi- nion, that he was what he always had been “ honest John Tyler” (Cheers) Now, ‘gentlemen, we are told that an honest man is the noblest work of God. And if Jobn Tyler is not that noblest work, he’s so near a felation B.—If his Lordship can spare a couple of days, we would aavise him to make a trip to Rockaway now in the prime of the season, and take a coo! mouthful of see air.

A tew words en passant During the last few days, there have been nearl four hundred visitors at that delightiul place—some of thera the very pink of fashion and beauty Among the late arrivals was the celebrated Gener«!

On Saturday and Sunday Jast, Mr. C stoun and his family bad actually to give up thei own room, downto the very barber's shop, whicl was fitted up at night as a bed room. Yesterday about one hundred left for the city, toreturn again oa Friday and Siturday next, on which occasion th graad ball of the season will be given. On Satur- day last, the first ball was given, and a great many of the Saratoga fushionables who were there, pro- edit the most delicious assembly they have d this season. Cranstoun gave them an ele gant supper of snipes and soft-shell crabs, with plenty of music and champagne. The next ball will be the.greatest yet. Visitors had better go early, other- wise all the apartments will be occupied, and they will have to come out on the beach and take a Snooze in the bathing houses. Last Sabbath there wete also religious services in the drawing room—performed by the Rev. Mr. Porbes, of St. Luke’s Church.

But ifhe goes on as he has done we, the democracy, shall never have cause to regret t necting, or the passage of these resolutions. We know no hird party ; there are only two parties in this city, and there are none but democrats here. I suppose that the bankrupt “Courier and Enquirer” will say to-morrow tthe meeting consisted of only a few loafers, with the notorious Mike Walsh attheir head. Well, let it sny so And this sneer from such @ source will be glory enough -much more than any praise from such : of the Creek band, and several other Indians, all of whom expressed much pleasure at the prospect of peace. They also expressed a readiness to comply with the terms of Col. Worth, which have for their object the insuring of the permanent peace and tranquility of every portien of the territory.

(Cheers.) Never mind what the poor old miserable doctors of the party may say to you about expediency. “Ex, * is a worl that a democrat never should m: (Cheers and great applause.) Why, these miserable old expedi- ency democratic doctors would take the Apollo de Bel dere, and clothe him in an old ox linsey woolsey cloak, a pair of of Chatham street breeches, and a bell crowned hat. (‘Tremendous cheers) And so they think to aid democracy by investing it in mystery and d—d nonsi (Loud chéering and roars of langhter.) Democracy necds none of this! Democracy is simple and beautiful ; and most beautiful in its pure and unadulterated nakedness. (Cheers.) Then, as to third party, that is talked of ; there can be no third party in this country, (Cheers.) I am desultory to night, because I am not well. (Cheers, and cries of “go on.”)’ You have most of you known’ me. Some of you have worked in shops with me, and some have been in other situations with me. But you—none of you knew me guilty of a mean or a dishonest, or an inter- ested act. (Cheers, anlcrieso no, no.) And whenever aman performs a good act—no matter when or where— when he does it disinterestedly, fearlessly, and for the be- nefit ofthe human race, | say he ought to be praised for it. And I say that if John Tyler does not receive the manly, vigorous, and sincere sup;ort of the young democrats when he is besieged on all sides by a ruthless gang of scoundrels and tri for doing his duty, that then the democracy will be wanting in their duty to him, and that we may look in vain in the pages of our history hereafter to find any man performing similar noble and disinterested acts. (Great cheering.) As to the third party, there can be uo such thit gn this country. (Cheers.) The support which John Tyler will receive must come from the young, the honest, the unadulterated democrats. (Cheers.) Not from those miserable, old, worn-out hacks of politicians, who are all the time sticking themselves at the hai of every thiag where they are not wanted, and manufacturing public opinion by the cart load, and shov- ing it down your throats whether you are dis- poscd to swallow it or not. (Loud cheers and Tiughter.) "And what is it causes these fellows, to take so much upon themselves. Is it ability? Why, they havn't as much as would fill up athimble. " (Cheers.) Is it honesty 2, Why, they never had enough of it to hide thenakedness of their natural born roguery for an hour. (Roars of laughter, and cheers.) What is there but the solitary fact, that they have lived forty or fifty years longer than any honest man wants ‘em to live. (Cheers and laughter.) And all this time they’ve been wearing the clothes and eating the victuals which honest men like you and me ought to have had. (Uproarious laughter and ap- plause.) And, now, I shall advert for a few moments to a subject which I have never troubled you with before. 1 mean the attacks of two or three individuals connected with the press upon me. I have hitherto abstained from noticing any thing against me that ever come from the public press, Because I know that there isn’t a more pitiful, contemptible, degraded, corrupt, lying stinking set of scoundrels than those that are connected with the public press, (Tremendous cheers and peals of laughter) Gentlemen, don’t misunderstand me, (turning round to the reporters of the “ Herald” and “ Morning Post,”) the present company is always excepted. | (Terrific cheers and laughter.) But there are two fellows is city who have thought proper to attack me. One isa Mr. James Watson Webb. He's a fellow that, unless 2 good many people tell lies, sold himself and his opinions to the United States Bank for $62,000, which and another equal- ly corrupt yogabond, who borrowed from that rotten con cern. He’sa fellow'tl uuld write about temperance with a gallon of punch in his belly; write about bravery, with the marks of a cowhide sticking to his shoulders ; and write about honesty with a bribe in his pocket. A fellow that would sell himself to the devil, if the devil was fool enough to employ such a d—d chuckle-headel booby as heis! (Tremen‘dous shouts of laughter and applause.) The other attacks came from a fellow called William L Stone, (laughter,) apoor old man, and therefore he’s to be pitied. No, he’s not very old neither ; but he’s brought onaprematareoldage * * * * + # A fellow that’s been engaged in every species of humbug for the last twenty years, and is now known by the name of “Old Animal Magnetism !” (Great cheering and laugh- ter.) And it is fellows like thesethatthink they have wounded and annoyed me, They trouble me! Why I've had more real mental ‘and bodily pain. to know where 1 should get my old boots soled and heeled than these fol- lows ever could give me in all their lives. Great cheering, in the midst of which Mike Walsh satdown.

Stsetain, called by the Judge Advocate aad swor J « Avvocate—State what you know in relation to the first specification of the third charge. (This charge is entitled “Disobedience of Orders.’ A.—I do not recollect the dates specified there. I recol- lect the occasion of Lieutenant Johnson’s landing and having his boat bilged. The next day, I think, I went with Captain Ringgold in his gig, where there were a large party of boats belonging tothe different vessels} longing to the squsdron, all under Captain Wilkes in, h gig. When we got in, it appeared they had endeavored to Tand, and the natives op) their doing so by spears and throwing pieces of cori After several attempts at land- ing, diferent officers swimming into the surf and being driven back by the natives, Mr. Wilkes fired at one of the natives and struck him in the face. I saw the blood run by his eye; he sat down and was washing it off m the water trom holes inthe coral. The other natives collected around him, and another gun was fired, I believe irom one of the Peacock’s boats; Ithink there were two discharg. perhaps of two barrels from the same gun, and about the same time another gun was discharged from one of the Vincennes’ boats. I believe that Mr. North and Mr, Peale were tae two persons who fired thosetwo guns, but am not certain. At the second disch: the natives retreated body, (I shouldnot think there more than twenty) with the exception of one man whose friends were trying to drag him off; he ap to be wounded with small shot in the breast, He appeared to be perfectly furi- ous with rage, and then received another charge of small shot from the Vincennes boat. He was then carried oft, unwillingly, to the bushes beyond reach of shot. These guns were loaded, oP rently with small shot; ifthey had been balls they would have killed him. After the natives retreated to the wood, a few officers and men swam through thesurf and landed on the coral. I saw them hunting tor shells in the vicinity of the boat. I was under the impres- sion that Mr. North attempted to make some observations, but whether he succeeded or not I cannot say. I ought to mention that before Mr. Wilkes fired, large pieces of coral were thrown in his boat by the natives. Q.—How many persons were in the boats belonging to the squadron ? should think. There were eight A.—Forty or St four and six oared boats. 1 ought to have mentioned that Mr, Wilkes endeavored to conciliate the natives through an interpreter, when I went in. Q.—Wasany of the party of the whites injured by the s? lotto my knowledge. How long did the party who landed remain on ‘ot more than ten or fifteen minutes. They were hurried off by Mr. Wilkes. eae was the interpreter, and where was he pro- eure A.—A man from New Zealand, who had been shipped from the United States; his name was}John Sac. He did not appear to understand their language very well. We elt the island of Clermont Tonnerre that night. Jvpar Apvocate.—State what you know of the second tion.

Mr. Wilkes sent the interpreter, perhaps two of them, to demand that the natives should give the boat up. That'was the talk. Ido not know it of my own know. ledge. The result of this demand was, that the boat was brought down by the natives, with part of the articles that were in her. We then returned to the schooner, and Mr. Wilkes told us we would go in after dinner and burn the town, and give those fellows a lesson, or something to that effect. ‘The natives were leaving the town in large parties white we were at dinner. When we pulled in again, we landed without opposition, and set the town on fire. Idid not know there were two towns. I did not see auy treescut down. 1 saw afew hogs killed. Theyam houses, in which the yams were, were burned down with the rest of the town. I was told by the interpreter that the yams were good yet. The buildings were of bamboo frames, and thick thatched roofs; they made a hot fire, Jupce Apvocats.—State what you know of the third specification. ».7, Hamiuron said the accused admitted the burning of those towns. Jvace Apvocatr—State whether the burning of the town at Venna Lebre took place before the attack on Ma Jolo, and how long? A—It took place before. I should think three or four before the attack on Malolo. 5 How far distant is the Island of Venna Lebre from Ma- lolo? A.—Mere than eighty miles, I sheuld think. —Were the yam houses at Malolo destroyed ? —I saw no yam houses. There were hampers of yams in the town, and | destroyed some of them myself. ‘Did you see any dead bodies of the natives after the route; if yéa, how many ? A.—1 saw dead bodies ; perhaps four or five; the na- tives carried them into the houses, and I suppose th; were burned. | saw the natives carry them into the houses while I was at the gate of the town. Q.—Do you know that any living natives perished in the flames? A.—I do not, sir. Do you know any thing in relation to the fifth spe- cification A.—I do not; nor in relatton to the sixth specifica- tion. Q.—Do you know any thing in relation to the first spe- cification of the fourth charge, “ [legal punishment?” A.—I do not. i Tae you know any thing of the second specifica- ion A—I do not. ‘The Junce Apvocare: stated that he] would not exmine any Witnesses on the third specification until tne return of Lieut. Johnson from Washington, where he had gone to search for documents. By the Court,—Did you go on shore at Clermont Ten- nerre; if so, did you yoursell see any wounded natives ? A.—I did not go oi shore, but I saw wounded natives. Q,—How came the first cutter to be cap ured, aud was eny killed or wounded on board of her ? —I can’t tell; I was not present at the time of her cay ture; Mr. Knox had charge of her, I believe none were kill- e Cross examined by Mr. Hamucton through the Judge Ad- vocate, _ Q.—Have you had any difficulty with Lieut Wilkes dur- ing the cruize ? A.—I have. Q—How far were you from those wounded natives ? A.—Within about twenty or thirty yards, perhaps more. Within gun shot, small shot. ‘The testimony of the witness was then read over to him by the Judge Advocate,and at its conclusion he stated that it was his impression that unless they had attacked the towns the natives would have murdered the whole of them. ‘The Judge Advocate said as this was only an impression of the witness, it could not be stated as evidence. The Juper Apvocate proposed to read the order of Lieutenant Wilkes to Lieutenant Hudson, dated at Hono- lulu, 12th December, 1340, in relation to the fifth specifi- cation of the third charge, which charges the destruction of three towns on the Island of Upolo, one of the Naviga- tor’s group. Mr. Haminton objected to the reading of the order, on the ground that the specification charges the order to have been given onthe 16th December, 1840. Lieutenant Witxes stated that the order was dated on the 1st December, 1840, and not on the 12th or 15th, as Lieutenant Hudson went to sea on the 3rd December. The Jupce Apvocate replied that he had drawn up the specification from a copy of the order, furnished him by Lieutenant Wilkes, and which copy was dated 15th De- ember. He had the copy among his papers on shore, and if it was so misdated, he should send on to Washington to prefer another specification on the same subject, which would not be liable to this objection. Mr. Hamitton asked if the accused was tobe threatened with the power at Washington in this manner, whenever he objected to proceeding informally in his case, The Jupcr Avvocate said that he was not certain the copy obtained from Lieutenant Wilkes was dated the “15th,” but he would ascertain when he went on shore. Lieutenant Wi.xes said that the order the Judge Advo cate held in his hand was dated the 1st December, 1840, and not the 12th, as he supposed, and thatzit was the “ or- der” referred to in the specification. Some time was spent in endeavors to brag the date, and the Judge Advocate at last came to the conclusion that the order was actually dated “ December Ist, 1840.” Mr. Hamittow then said that Lieutenant Wilkes waived his objections to the introduction of the order in evidence, and it was read by the Judge Advocate. The order, after giving Lieutenant Hudson various di- rections connected with the scientific objects of the expe- dition, directs him, on arriving ut Upolo, to endeavor to capture the chief Popatuno, and obtain ample justice for the murder of an American citizen on that Island, and that his principal endeavours should be, in all he done, to impress itfully upon the natives, that they cannot commit offen- ces of this nature with impunity. ‘The order states that much must be left syule commander to the jadgment of Lt. Hudson ; but he believes that the capture of the prin- cipal chiefs,Pa and Maliotoa, should be effected, as it would doubtless lead to the surrender of the murderers, and per- haps Popatuno himself. The orderf(urther states that hos- je steps should be avoided as much as possible, as such measures would endanger the <acrifice of the lives of men under his command. ‘The order next callsthe attention of Lt. Hudson to Strong’s Island, which it stated is infested by pirates and vagabonds, who make it a point to plunder and destroy all unarmed vessels that fall within their reach. At this place the American brig Waverly was plundered, and her wreck now lies upon the western shore. The natives of Strong’s Island, before these infa- mous scoundrels came among them, were always remark- able for their friendly disposition ; therefore, a distinction should be made between the natives and foreigners on that island. The removal of these rascals will be beneficial to our commerce, as they are a great nuisance to our whale. men, ‘The order further impresses on Lt. Hudson the At! Kedipinafine on od reating with kindness” the na- tives whom he might visit. Licut. Watxen, called by the Judge Advocate and sworn.

Q.—How did he get among the natives ! —I don’t know. —You have said the man was supposed to be murder- ed; on what grounds was this supposition founded ? A.—When we were about to return to the ship, 1 os- sembled the officers and crew, and discovered that John Anderson wasabsent. About this time, our attention was attracted by some unusual noise among the natives a short distance frem the beach, and the women and child- discovery. John Anderson being still absent, I took two or three men and went in search ot him in one direction, and directed Mr. Davis to search in another direction. 1 ashert distance through the town, which was en- tirely deserted in that quarter, and I observed a body of natives approaching towards me, well armed, evidently intending an attack.

We immediately got afloat, and laid on our oars. The natives came down in large numbers, armed, and defying us to combat. We waited there halfan hour after and then returned to the ship, with a firm conviction that John Anderson had been treacherously murdered. Cea you know when John Anderson left your art 3 ‘A-1 do not. I know that he was at the boat within o~ minutes of my arrival at the beach. I left him at the boat. .—Were there any signs of a {struggle about the boat, or evidence of violence being committed ? A.—No, sir. An officer and half a boat’s crew were left at each boat. JupGx Apvocate—You have stated you do not know when John Anderson went away ; how do you know that he did not voluntarily go away ? A.—I presume he did voluntarily leave the boat for a short time, but I have no idea helintended to desert. He had been in the beat a very long time, and had had better opportunities and stronger temptations to desert, but never evinced a desire to do to. Q—Are these all the reasons you had for suspecting that John Anderson did not desert, but was treacherously murdered ? A.—No, sir. The next day there was not a canoe ap- proached us from that town, although the ship was sur- rounded with canoes from other parts of the island. On the morning of the attack on the town, the natives, to the number of 600 or 700, perhaps a thousand, well armed, as. sembled on the beach, and again defied us. Q. Had Anderson a gun and a knife with him? A.—He had a gun, and probably a knife. Q-—Did you hear any discharge of fire arms ? A—I did not. ‘Did you not discover on other Islands of this group white men who had deserted and lived there a long time ? Mr. Hautton objected, and the question was with- drawn Lx. Wacker.—There was another sircumstance which induced me to think Anderson was murdered. We re- ceived on board theship at the Navigator’s group, a man named Thomas Williams, who had in his possession a journal kept on board of an American whale ship, in which it was stated that about three years previously a British vessel had been wrecked on Drummond’s Island, and that the captain's wife was then a prisoner on Drum: mond’s Island. The whale ship then attempted to beat up to Drummond’s Island and attempt arescue, but the sea- son being Jate, and the wind and current strong, she was unable to do'so. This story was confirmed by some of the natives who told us the woman died a short time pre- vious. I saw a part ef a wreck on shore. Juper Apvocars.—State what you know in relation to the first specification of the fourth charge. A.—I know nothing; I was not on board the Vincennes at that time. Q—Do you know any thing of Lawrence Cavenaugh and John Harman, private marines, being punished un board the Peacock ? A.—I have some recollection of their being put inirons and on short a!lowance for neglect of duty. Cross examined by Mr. Hamt.ron, through the Judge Advocate. Q.—Did vou, as commander of the expedition against Drummond's Island, report to Lieutenant Hudson, that you had been informed by th natives of other towns that John Drummon d was destroyed at that Island ? Q—Did you take command of the expedition against Drummond's Island by Lieut Hudson. A.—I did take command of the expedition under a writ- ten order from Lieut. Hudson. ‘This order was lost in the wreck of the Peacock. IfI recollect a right, I was order- ed to endeavor to recover Anderson, if he was in existence by offering very large rewards in tobacco, considered the most costly commodity among th Inthe ev of not being successful,1 was to land and destroy the to In pursuance of this order | formed my division of boats in front of the town; I then advanced my own boat a consiir- rable distance with Mr. Hale as interpreter, and offered a reward for the recovery of Anderson. The natives ad- vanced from both extremes of the beach, all well armed, with the intention of seizing my boat, and drawing hir upon the beach; this I defeated by retreating in line with the boats. Ithen requested Mr. Peale, who was considered one of the best shots among us, to demonstrate to these na- tives the efficiency of our arms. I hoped by this means to avoid the neccssity of putting many of them to death. TI natives did not immediately retreat and I threw a rocket into the town. Question by Jupce Apvocats.—Did Mr. Peale demon- strate the efficieney of your arms? A.—Yes, sir, by shooting a native. ‘Wirness resumed.—I fired a scatteriug volley, lande! and formed my men, and reduced the town to ashe:. ‘These men had nothin to oppose us bat spears, swords, and clubs.
