A NKW CASK.
At the Superior Court of Law for the coun
ty of Spotsylvania. held in this town, the case
of the Commonwealth against-Robbins
was tried on Tuesday last Mr. Robbins was
tried for cr lellv and unmercifully whipping
and beating his own slave. The defendant’s
counsel attempted to rescue him bv arguing
that the alledged offence was not indictable ;
but the court overruled the objection, and the
point was reserved for the decision of the Gen
eral Court. The jury retired hut a short time,
and assessed the fine at tftree hundred dollarv.
This penalty, though small in itself, may he
considered justly severe and exemplary, from
the circumstances of the defendant. As this is
the first ca-e of the kind that is known to have
ocaurred in Virginia, it cannot fail to be in the
highest degree inte esting to every humane ho- |
sorn;since it exhibits the law interposing to pro
tect the whole of our servile population from the
merciless rigor and cruelty of those who are
disposed to exercise their power in an unfeel
ing manoer. We regard it too. as as a stri.
king instance of a good and liberal policy, as
nothing, surelv. can be truly and ultimately
politic, which directly outrages the rights of
humanity.

ARRIVAL of the alligator.
The U. S. «chr. Alligator returned to
this port yesterday afternoon, from a sue*
cesslul cruize, in the West Indies—the
term of service for which her crew had
gallantly volunteered, having expired.
We learn that while the A. was cruizmg
on the north side of Cuba, she tell in with
the American schooner Abigail, from N
York, owned and commanded bv captain
Driggs. Capt. 1). informed that the Ame
rican sloop Jay, chartered by him had been
plundered on the coast, and that an En
glish schooner had also been plundered by
some pirates. Cant. D. said it tvas his in
tention to pursue thpm to 'Mariel, having j
provid’d his vessel with an additional num
ber of men and arms for the purpose
Capt. Stockton, upon this information took
measures for their capture, and with the]
assistance of Capt. Driggs, so closely
blockaded the n that they were forced to
take refuge on shore, in the port ot Xibar
ra. Capt. S demanded them in the name
of the American Government, but their de
livery was refused by the Spanish .authori*
ties.
The following circumstances are said to
be ot notorious occurrence; and were what
in luced capt. Stockton to make every ex
ertion for the capture of the pirates: —
An English brig'from Scotland) had been
boarded off the Ve^t end of St. Domingo,
and the whole of her crew murdered.
The c.JKgo was bioueht to Xib.arra—the
govern went was informed of the atrocious
act. and no notice whatsoever was taken
of it. On the contrary, the villains here
exchanged their v»««cl for another, and
imme Lately sailed uoon a new plundering
expedition. Vhey «>:ccr,-e> fe d ^ ft e r
wardi capturing a DuU’i Galliot, and two
of the piratical crew, as a committee, came
Holguin* and openly contracted for the
sale oHhe goods at the liberal price of a
doubloon per horse load. V
/t he American sloop Jay, was about to
•ail from Xibarra when the Military Com
mandant’s barge left that port, and as
capt Stockton believes, gave information
ol the fact, to the pirates, for she was im
mediately afterwards taken by them, and
the prisoners were informed how the infor- j
mat ion ot the Jay’s sailing was obtained.)
The Commandant’s barge returned to the \
pirate, took in goods, and landed them at '
Xibarra, when some of them were actually J
seen in the Commandant’s house. No- j
thing but capt. Stockton’s respect for the j
instructions of our Government, pre- '
vented his going on shore, and seizing
this piratical Commandant, and delivering
him to the Governor of Havana.
The evening cm which the Alligator let
Xibarra, and was on ner way to Neuvitas,
(the place designated as a rendezvous tor
her tender and boats,) she tell in with the
U. S. schooner Grampus, Lieut Corndt*
Gregory, and alter -otne communication,
united their forces, and proceeded to Neu
vitas, where captain S. found his tender,
and was informed that she had been plun
dered by a pirate, without the resistance
of a single shot. This outrage captains
Stockton and Giegory resolved to avenge,
and to atone for the loss, not only ot victo
ry, but of some honor in the submission ol
the crew of the tender, it was determined
to fit out the schr Jane, as a new tender,
and capt. Stockton took the command him
self, while capt. Gregory followed with
the Alligator and Grampus. This little
squadron were to rendezvous at a place
c died Sugar Key. The particulars oi this
expedition will be furnished hereafter.
Among other results. Captain 5. recap
i tured an English brig, which was in pos
; es^i-rn ol tour piratical vessels, hav ng a
m -ng them about 200 im n The pirates
were in sight at the time of recapture.
7’he mate of the English brig made a nar
row esc pe, having actually a halter ro ind
his neck, ard just suspended at the mo
ment of deliverance, The p»r tes were
pursued— he cunning dogs, whenever the
Jane was near thein» and out ot sight ot
her aids would draw up in line ol battle,
but would not wait lor the broadside.
i i^api* o. was ai one mumcm sw u^a., a? w
; receive 15 or 2() shots from their long 12
! pounder*—but unfortunately the shallow*
ness of the wa er prevented his coming in
to closer contact In his eagerness to pur
sue, the lane was once run on shore, and
he could only give a prompt return Irom
his pounders, at which the rogues laugh*
ed ....
Notwithstanding, however, their light*
ness, 4*knowledge of the coasf, the result
of thi* cbace was the capture ot one of their
schooners, with a full cargo taken trom the
English brig; tne burning ot another; and
the 'unnmg on shore of a third. The
fourth effected her escape with the boats
and crews of the others. Not a man was
captured.
However this is to be regretted, the offi
cers of the Alligator had the satisfaction *of
burning the vessel that plundered their ten*
der
The captured schooner was sent in*o
Havana; and the Alligator has brought into
Charleston two other prizes A Co om
hian armed schr. called the Cienega, whose
crew had mutinied at Ragged Hand.
She had no paper*; and a sloop found at
sea with no living creature on board, but
a dog.
Captain Stockton and the officers of the
Alligator speak in the highest terms of the
talents and services of capt. Gregory and
his officers and men,during their combined
operations. But it is their opinion that pi*
racy still flourishes* The pirates, they
say. have establishments on various points
on the coast of Cuba; on their late cruize
they visited several of these hives, among
other articles, they found 25 large water
casks and several small vessels and boats.
And (altho’ there could exist no doubt of
the character of these settlements) they
were all within the Spanish jurisdiction;
and were not suffi-red to be molested*
19Can such things be
And overcome us luce a summer cloud?"* |
The case is one that cries out for the in
terposition of the powerful arm of the Gov
ernment, to sweep such a pestilence from
the face of Earth and Sea. Really our pa
tience cannot hold much longer—we must
be merciless—searching—prying—harsh
and stern —For a great good, let us do a
little wrong.

Curacoa, Jlay 4.
The Colombian forces have again
made themselves masters ot Coro. 'The
following is an extract of a letter from j
that place, dated April 23, received
here from a person in high rank in the I
Columbian army
‘•Onthe 17th we fell in with the;
force under Col, Tello, consisting of
the battalion of llosterliz, and the light
companies of Karinas, which we com
pletely defeated. To complete the
work, we only want Morales, and con
sequently Puerto Cabello must fall into
our power, which will give absolute
liberty to the whole of Colombia.”
The Indian chief Keyes Vargas ar- ;
rived at Coro about tho middle of last
week, with a reinforcement of 1500
men; and if full credit can be given to
the statement of the Colombian forces
assembled at Coro, which are said to
amount to between 3 and 4000 men, we
should suppose that general Morales |
stands but a poor chance against such
fearful odds as he will have to meet, if
he attempts to light h s way back to
Puerto Cabello; his retreat by sea, ac
cording to reports, having been cut off
by the destruction of all the small craft
on the coast.
The last arrival from Coro brings ac
counts that no vessel would be allowed
to touch ou the coast in possession of
the Colombians, tor the space of 14 '
days. This measure had been adopted ,
as a further preventative to the escape j
by sea ot Morales or his troops. I
The Spanish brig of war Hercules, t
sailed hence on Sunday morning* but
shortly afterwards put back again, in
consequence of having received infor
mation by a launch, despatched tor
that purpose, of the Colombian squad
ron being off Puerto Cabello.

neral of the province, followed by a nu
mttous concourse, carrying the book of!

a place which had been erected with great j
magnificence, when on their arrival the !
Holy Code was announced. We cannot !
find language to express, in proper terms,
the demonstrations of juv and the repeat
ed acclamations which tvere expressed by
die people collected in the square ol Inde
pendence, to assist at this august ceremo
ny. The battalions of Carabobo and Ti
ladores, ot the guard formed in line ol
battle, discharged several vollies, while
the resounding ot the fields and the hoarse
notes of the trumpet, announced, by their
echoes, the moment ol celebrating ibis so
lemn act. The reading being cincluded,
tins splenetic] retinue proceeoeu iu me
squares ol Santa Barhara, Sap Juan de
Dios, and San Frencisco, iu each of which
places it was received with the same live
ly expressions ot joy by the people, who
uniting themselves to (he splendid proces
sion ot the chief officers, returned to the
same place, when a throne being erected
in front of the municipal Hall, tne book
was deposited and a sufficient guard plac-!
ed around it during the night. On the
same night, Don Juan Uarbiras gave a
magnificent ball and entertainment, at
which were present, hi- Fxcellency the
Intendant General with all the officers of
the army and navy then in the place. The
fascinating sex contributed, on their part,
to give brilliancy to the occasion by the
richness of their dress, and tne sweetness
ot their couii'enances, and whose artless
graces extort the admiration ot man, and
cause him to bow his stiff neck to the
tahsmanic influence of feminine beauty.
The ball closed at day light.
On this day. (27th) the Town Conner!,

Col. Delgado, who took the Code, pro
ceeded to the Parochial church, when on
this, as well as on the other occasions,
were fulfilled the religious observances
prescribed by the Sovereign congress ot

General having taken the oath, proceeded
to the Town Hall to receive those ot the

January 28* *
This is the day in which the year of the
political regeneration ot this faithful city
is accomplished—this is the day consecra
ed to solemnize the most glorious event
in the history of Maracaibo—this is the
lay, which should be for the inhabitants ol
his city and all Colombia, a day ol praise,
i day ot Jubilee, and a day ol glory.
Maracaibo will perpetually record the
lappy epoch, when the genius of liberty
inited its destinies with those ot heroic
Colombia. A mutual sympathy, tried in
he crucible of adversity, a profound ha
tred ef tyranny, the same cause, the com
mon interest, dictated and decided that
fraternal union; and this event worthy ol j
an eternal admiration, Heaven &i^nt that.
fhe members of this numerous an J power
ful family rray ever be possessed iyith a
holy love of country, and a lively emula
tion to make every sacrifice for the perpe
tuity of its freedom—that its virtues may
be the columns of this magnificent edifice
which they have just erected, su that Co
lombia, sustained on such a solid founda
tion, may vie with time in duration.
In commemoration of this important
day, many feasts and spectacles were ex
hibited expressive of the ioyful fee’ings of
the people—in fine from the 26tb. thi9 city
presented one continued scene of enthusi
astic rejoicing.
Independence Square'was made to as
sume the appearance ol a circus by the
aid of a strong pallisade, in which were
placed coiors containing the names of their i
patriotic defenders and the principal ac- j
tion~ which have distinguished them. j
Aurora had scarcely announced tneap-,
proacb of light, when salvos of artillery;
and the echo of the woods saluted the j
king of day, who came to throw hi« rays -
of light over the innocent rejoicings of
a happy people.
The great regulator of the universe, the
supreme creator of happiness* the God ol
Victory, and the eternal protector of Co
lombia, should be adored before all thing**
in return lor the incomparable benefit,
which, in his infinite goodness, he has been
pleased to dispense to us on this memora
ble day. His holy temples were thronged
wiih all classes ol people—in the paro
chial metropolitan church, the municipal
authorities, with the intendant general,
accompanied by the ecclesiastical, civil 61
military functionaries, assisted at divine
service. The splendour of fhe Chnrch
the imposing solemnity of the ceremonies,
and fhe joyful canticles, sounded by the
ministers of the sanctuary, caused such
devotion, and such veneration, in the prac*
lice of the dogmas of our holy religion,
that ;n addressing thp throne of mercy, his
prayers would be accepted—in fact every
thing corresponded to the importance ot
this occasion which brought the people to
prostrate themselves at the feet ot divine
goodness—L/r- Avalos pronounced a mosi
eloquent discourse. We find our-elves in
capable to describe the emotions which it
produced, and the general sajistaction
which it gave—to do justice to its merits
would require the pen and the laleuls ot"
a Demosthenes.
After the performance of Divine service
the constituted authorities repaired to the
Municipal Hall, where, in the presence ot
the Intendant Genera!, they took «be oath
of fidelity to the constitution—the rest ol
the day. and the following, 29th and 30th,
exercises were performed in Independence
Square, which at night was brilliantly illu
minated—at the four angles, pyramids
were erected# shewing through their tran
sparency the following inscription:
1. Maracaibo celebrates now with en
thusiasm the memory ot its independence.
Maracaibo, by its own proper exertions is
free—the po!itical change ol Maracaibo
is the admiration of the world—Maracaibo
bioke it* cha a by a spontaneous effort.
2. T» •is heroic people, convinced Jhey
had the right of self government, assumed
it—This change will constitute an epoch
in its history of proud memory—the Libe
rator. Simon Bolivar, lives in our hearts ;
our children will revert, with honorable
feelings to the memory of our liberation,
3. Long live the most excellent, vice
President of state live Colombia, live our
country, our constitution—Maracaibeans,
it is glorious to die tor our country—long
live his excellency the liberator, Presi
dent.
4. To-day, citizens, your patriotic sa
crifices receive their record. Col- Fran
cisco Delgado decided the happy lot of
his country, the Intendant General, the
much esteemed General Clemente adds to
our joy—Maracaibeans, let union fraternal
love, valor and patriotism be your portion.
7'he writer goes cn to state the many
balls, &c, which took place on the follow
ing niglos, and concludes by 'saying, we
can, in fine aver, that the people of Mara
c iibo have given proof in their enthusias
tic joy. during 3 days of festivity, that
sooner than surrender their paecious liber
ty, they would cease to exist.
LATEST FRON SOUTH AMERICA.
By the arrival this morning of the schr.
Endymion, capt. Hathaway, in 14 days
fr. m Laguira; we learn that the Patriot
blockading squadron of Porto Cabello, had
summoned the garrison to surrender. The
fleet consisted ot three brigs and six schrs.
and had been firing for some days into the
town. The effect of the summons was not
known when capt. II. put to sea.
A report had reached Laguira that the
Spanish general Morales, defeated in all
his projects, and perceiving that he was a
bout to be smrounded, bad effected his
escape, and arrived at Porto Cabello —
This is extremely probable, as by accounts
received here last evening, it is ascertain
ed that Coro bad been re-taken by the Pa
triots on the 17th April, after an engage
ment with the force uuder Colonels Tello
and Bariuas, in which the latter were
completely defeated. Even taking the
strength of Morales’ army at 3000 men
though we do not believe he had half that!
number, the Columbian forces assembled]
at Coro were more than sufficient to copej
with him. Cut off by sea and land, as he!
effectually was, nothing but an uncondi
tional surrender presented itself; but we
can scarcely suppose that a soldier like i
Morales, who had (ought so many battles,!
and whom we never heard charged with
cowardice, wonld have left his army, and
consulted his own personal safety meaely.
But be this as it may, the independence of
Colombia may now be considered as fixed
on an immoveable basis, and all the hopes
of Spain of being able to retain an influ
ence there, destroyed forever. '"The tri
umph of liberal principles, must ere long
decide the fate of the remaining provinces
of this delightful portion of the globe, and
lead to their complete emancipation from
'oreign thraldom.
In addition to (he above particulars, we
learn by capt. Hathaway, that Com- Da
niels had just arrived at Laguira from the :
blockading squadron off Porto Cabello,
having been ordered by the CoWfc.
government on other service. The
