'OST I'KMliKR 6. I er Tradk. The following para, in (he Star of last evening We ni ver knew business in this city more dull than it was in the months of July and August, nor at the same time have we ever seen a more brick revival than in the commencement of the present Month. September opened auspiciously. In every direction we hove evidence an exceccingty brisk la I business.

Uoods ot all kinds ana in great vane ly, are plentiful. The city is filled and continues to Im tilling with strangers, and merchants sre deter mined to sell on small profits and I beral credits. The presmrc tor money continues in a measure, but tlis scarcity is more lelt by the large operators than mose doing a small and snug business." There are somo things accurately stated in this I passage. It is perfectly tiue that goods of all kinds re plentiful. This abandance has existed for months past, and is increasing every day the importation of the summer has been so prodigious, that it almost seined as ifihe workshops of Europe were emiiloy rd for America alone.

Whole fleets of vessels laden ith European products are continually arriving at this port. It ii not at all surprising that where so msny goods come in and so few ore sent out they bould be plentiful. It is true also that the large operators" feel the violent pressure and the seam of money moro those who are tl ing a small and snug business." Mark it when you will, ho who does a snug business always frels tho embarrass incuts of tiie limes more severely than he who does not. All this is as true as any other seli cvident propo sition, but thetpictureof the revival of business is over chsrged. Our commerce with the interior is cramped by the embarrassments of the times.

Traders are ar riving Irom the country, and purchases are made to a considerable extent, but the crazy state of the money market, occasioned by the manoeuvres of the United States Bank, harrassca the merchant with constant impediments. A brisk and profitable trade in the midst of a severe pressure cannot exist Had it not been for this artificial press uru the activity of trade at, this moment might have been unparalleled. '1 STSr, in one pint of the passage we I aoted, lets us into the real state of things. Small profits and long credits1' are a melancholy motto for the merchant. The true maxim of trade is small profits and short credits.

Rapid sales, a moderate (advance of price, and quick returns, to bo again in' vested in purchases, bespeak an active and flourish' ing state or trade. Small profits and long credits re the resort of il. ration, and imply a losing business, an inactive commerce and slow and tin certain returns. Vermont Election.

THE AMISTAD. The cased the Africans carried into New Lon is one which, aside from its legal interest, is nature to excite the sympathies of the public to high degree, and it may not be amiss to consider lar these unprotected foreigners are amenable our laws, and what is Ike course which thould be puisued towards them. The case is now in the hands of the court, but it be considered improper to discuss the mat'er yet pending, even were it probable that these remarks would meet the judicial eye. They are submitted with the respectful d.

f.rcnce of an Ami Curiae, and will be received no doubt, if receiv at all by the court, with precisely the attention deserve. The case of Cingu is one which excites symra and excites it justly. He has taken life, and it be committed murder in the eve of the law under what circumstances? Within a lew weeks prior to the aet ho was free had he done this deed upon the captain of the slaver who brought him from his native shore, he would have justified by the whole world, he would have killed one branded by civilized nations as a pirate outlaw, he would but have anticipated the sen of the law. He is carried into Havana in defiance of the law, sold and transferred to another vessel i'hat transfer creates the crime, if crime it be but the Alrican's untutored mind what difference can there be between the robber who deprived him of his liberty and the jailor who restrains him of it But these considerations are addressed perhaps too much, to our feelings of humanity and sympathy. us look then at the law of the case with a calm dispassionate eye, Can the ownersof these slaves, Montcsand Ruiz, claim them as their property 7 If so, they must to obtain the action of cur Courts file a libel in the Admiralty Court of the United States, or iheir Con cut must do this for them, as was done in the case of the Anllope, 10 Wheat.

C6. decided in IS25, and in which restitution of certain slaves cap tured out of Spanish and Portuguese slavers by a piratical vessel was ordered. But the whole basis of that decision was that the slave trade was at that timclegalized by the laws of Spain and Portugal. Chief Justice Marshall delivei ing the opinion of the Court, cites with approbation tho opinion of Sir Wm. Grant, in the case of the medic, an Ame ican vetsel, I Acton's Rep.

240, A claimant can have no light on principles of uni versal law to claim restitution in a Prize Court of human beings carried as his slaves. He must show some right that lias been violated by the capture, same proprety of which he has been dispossessed and to which he ought to be restored. In this cafe the law of the Claimant's Courts allow of no property such as he claims." The Chief Justice goes on to say, The princi pic is that the legality of the capture of a vessel engaged in the slave trade depends on the law of the country to which the vessel belongs. If that law givests sanction to the trade, restitution will be de creed, if that law prohibits it the vessel will be con demned as good prize." In the case of the Antelope, the slaves were de livered up, because, as says the Chief ustice, "the Consul of Spain and Portugal demanded them as slaves who have in the regular course of legitimate commerce been acquired as property by the subjects their respective sovereigns." But the case, as to Spain, is now wholly changed. That country has declared the traffic unlawful, it was so assumed by Judge Story, in United States, rs.

Giberl 2 Sumner, 57 and it is a well known lait, thai a joint English and Spanish commission is sitting at Havana, to enforce the suppression of the traffic. Whenever the pretended oy.iors of these slaves, then, come into our ccu.fto enforce a claim of pro property to the'aves, they will be met by the above and sa lutary rule. They must make Gut a title under the Spanish law. The slaves wers illegally brought into Havana, and the captor could convey no title. Could then the transfer in that place make any difference.

The title to stolen property in this covntry, no mittcr how often it changes hands matter how often it passes into the possession of a bona fide purchaser is never divested. There is no market overt here to legalize the transfer, and until is proved that the Spanish laws admit the legality of a ealo which would go far to render nugatory any ef forts to suppress the traffic until then, Messrs. Ruis and Montes will look in vain for a decree of restitution. So much for the claim of ownership. Now let examine the claim of criminal jurisdiction.

If the above view ot the case is correct if these slaves wore illegally introduced into the Havanas and illegally sold there if the purchasers Ruis and Men tez had no better title than the slave dealer who brought them from Africa then there would teem to be an end of th question of guilt as well as property. In this case the Africans were not slaves, but free persons illegally restrained of their liberty and, I apprehend, it does not require much law to prove that it is not murder for a freeman to kill his kidnapper. But this supposition, the most desirable one foi these poor creatures, may not be correct it may be that the transfer of the slaves in Cuba will legalize their bondage. This may appear singular, but it is undoubtedly so. Our own st itute should make us speak ith caution on this subject.

The law of 1307, severe as it is in its enactments against the introduction ot slaves, does net declare such slaves when introduced free anomaly as Jit is. The 5th section surrenders them to the State jurisdiction to be disposed of as the legislature shall direct, and if the state should order them to be sold that sale would be valid. It may bo shocking, it may be tuonstrou, but it is law. Tbe case of tbe Josela Segunda, 10 Wheat 322, and 5th do. 333 fully establishes this point.

Tbe state of Lou isiana passed a law directing ncgioes imported in contravention of the Slave Trade Act to be sold for life, the proceeds to be distributed in a particulor mode. Certain negroes were illegally introduced the Court denied restitution to tbe claimants, but held that they had jurisdiction to distribute tho fund according to the State act. If Cingues, consequently, had been imported into Louisiana, contrary to the Slave Trade Act, and sold under the State law, he would have been legally a slave. Let us then take the worst case, and auppore these Africans legally slaves under the Spanish law, Have they committed any crime cognizable in our Courts 11 convicted at all. it must be under one of the two following laws.

The act of 30ili April, 1790, 8, provides thus If any person commit upon the high seas or in any river, haven, basin or bay, out of the jurisdiction of any particular state, murder, or robbery, or any other offence, which if committed within the body of a county would, by the law of the United States, be punishablo with death, or if any captain or mariner of a vessel shall piratically and fclom ously runaway with such vessel or any goods or merchandise to the value of fifty dollars, or yield up such vessel voluntarily to a pirate, or if any seaman shall lay hands upon his commander thereby to bin der and prevent his righting in defence of his ahip or goods committed to his trust, or shall make re volt in tbe ship, every such offender shall be deem I cJ to be and adjudged to be a piiate and felon, and being thereof convicted shall sufler death; and the tritelof crimes committed on the high seas or in any I place out of the jurisdiction of any particular state, shall be in the district where the offender is appre hended, or into which he may be brought." Mas Cinguez or any of bis comrades committed murder or robbery within this act? Several cases have been decided under tins statute of an extremely interesting character and which will seive to eluci In the following article cor readers have a full Palmer, was crime lively within not case a as, the in In The her tice, time hut law mcnt Ac, yets tliat as of der ed any the ol he as lie cal is date the point In the case of the United vs. 1 (3 Wheat 6M) the opinion of the Court 1 cargo as tullowa "The Court is of opinion that the I exception of the aiaves who may be on board as ob oi robbery committed by a person on the high I jects of commerce: and the said vessel, as welt as on board nf any ship or vessel belonging exclu I her lv subjects of a foreign state, is not a piracy the true intent and meaning of this act, ami punishable in the Courts of the United State." Now this decision would appear to cover Cingtv z's exactly. The Captain was kilied on the high on board of a vessel belonging exclusively to subjects of Spain. Il is not punishable therefore ihe Courts of the United States. But this is nol the only decided case on this poin the United Slates vs.

Khniock. 5 Wheat. 144, prisoner was cruising under a privateering com' mission, but with strong indications ot piratical in' tentions. Me look a Dinish vessel and marooned crew. In this case the court held tne act was applicable.

We are satisfied," says the Chiel Jus Marshall, that general piracy, or murder, or rjbbety committed in the places described in the section, by persons on board of a vessel not at the belonging to the subjects of asy foreign power, in possession of a ere acting in defiance of all and acknowledging obedience to no govern whatever, is within the true meaning of the and is punishable in the courts of the United States. Persons of this e'escription are proper ob for the penal code of all nations, and wc think the general words of the act of Congress "any person," though they ought not to be so construed as to extend to persons under the acknowledged authority of a foreign state, ought to be so construed to comprehend those who acknowledge the au thority of no state." The certificate which condenses and gives the precise extent of the opinion is, "that the act of 30th April, 1790, does extend to all persons on board vessels which throw off their national character by cruizing piratically and committing piracy on other In the United Slates vs. Holmes, 5 Wheat. 416. The certificate is "that the Court has jurisdiction un the statute if tho vessel, on board of which it was committed, bad at the time ot the commission thereof, no real national character, but was possess and held by pirates, or by persons not lawfully sailing under the flag or entitled to the protection of government whatsoever." Now, though these two cases slightly differ in their phraseology, I think the fair import ol both is that they intended to extend the jurisdiction of the United States under this act to the case of pirates and nothing more Now, have Cinguez and bis comrades committed any act of piracy subsequent to the killing of the captain.

la the United States vs. Smith, 5 Wheat. 153 Supreme Court, per Story has defined this crime. Robbery or Forcible Depredatloryipon the sea, animo furandi, is piracy. The true definition piraey, by the law of nations, is robbery upon the sea." And again In the United States vs.

Pirates, 5 198, the Court says "Murder and piracy are things so essentml'y different in their nature that not even the omnipotence of legislative power can identify them." The act of 15th May, 1920, 3, pursues the same idea. It declares If any person shall, upon the high seas, or in any open roadstead, or in any haven, basin or bay, oi in any liver where the sea ebbs or flows, commit the crime of robbery in or upon any vessel or upon any of the ships company of his vessel, or the cargo thereof, such person shall be adjudged to be a pirate, and being thereof convicted before a Circuit Court of the United States for the district into which he shall be brought, or in which shall be found, shall suffer death." Now all the evidence before the District Judge reported is, that subsequent to the taking possession of the vessel the Africans sedulously avoided even contact with other vessels, and bad but one idea, that of reaching the coast of Africa. If theie was robbeiy then, it was in taking possession of the vessel, but surely this cannot be held robbery. To constitute robbery liknj. etliet crime there must tne animus, the intention.

These poor creatures had no wish for the property all they desired was their liberty. But even if this was a robbery, then it was identi in point of time with the murder it was committed on board a vessel owned by Spaniards, and consequently under the decisions cited above is net punishable in our courts. In the case of Kessler, (1 Baldwin Rep. 29,) this point has been expressly decided by Judge Hop kinson. There the defendant was indicted for a robbery and piracy on the high seas on board ol a French brig called the L'Eclair, which consisted, according to the charge, in robbing the captain and piratically running away with the vessel.

Here the Court say expressly that the act of 1820 to be construed as the act of 1790 that our Courts have no jurisdiction of the crime ot murder or rob' bery committed on board a foreign vessel. The result of the matter seems to be briefly this The slave trade is declared illegal by the laws of Spain, and the introduction of these Africans into the Havana was in violation of the Spanish law, Whether the sale to Ruiz or Montez was valid depends upon the Spanish law, and certainly th probability and the legal presumption is. that the sale was invalid, and that it conveys no title. If Ihe sale wai invalid under the Spanish law, the Africans were not slaves, the Captain, Ruiz and Montez were all kidnappers, and Cingues and his comrades were justified in liberating themselves, and in using the force necessary to effect this end. If the sale was valid by the Spanish law, and such as to give a 11116,81111 our Courts have no jurisdiction, because the offence was committed on board a for eign vessel, and the prisoners must be discharged.

Then comes the last, and which will perhaps prove the only prcatical question in Ihe case. Shall they be delivered up on the demand of the Spanish Gov. ernment, if she claims them as criminals under her law It seems but too probable that Messrs. Ruis and Montez, conscious of the invalidity of their claim in the Civil courts bave drawn this criminal prosecution to give time to their Government to make a demand. This raises a far more difficult question.

I have not in these remarks taken any notice of the act of 3J March, 1819, dec'aring piracy, as defin ed by the laws of nations, punishable with death, be cause that statute expired by its own limitation, and thcugh the act of 15th May, 1820, continued it, it was only as to acts previously committed. Would to heaven that the Federal Government could in this matter assume the attitude which they took in the i iw nf the Antelope. "In this case." savs Chief l.wtie Marshall. the United States annear in Ihe ri character ol gua'dians or next friends of the Afri esn who are brought without any act of their own into the borom of our country, insist on the right to freedom and submit the it claim to the laws ot the land and to the tribunals of the nation. VETO.

Since writing the above, I have found what I had previously looked for in vain the Treaty between Great Britain and Spain for the suppression of the slave trade, and the orders made in conformity therewith. They are contained in llerlslet Com mercial Treatiss, for the examination of a copy of which I am indebted to the politeness of the British Consul. A Treaty was signed at Madrid 23d September 1817, by the respective ministers of Great Britain and Spain, for the abolition of the slave trade. The 1st Article declares that the trade shall abolished throughout Hie enure tiominions oi spain on the SOth day ol May, 1320 and the 2o, that the trade shou'd not be carried on after the ratification I oCthe treaty on any part oi the coast of Alrica to the north ot the Equator. Tho 12lh Article organizes two Mixed Commis I 8jon8 formed of an equal number ot individuals ol the two nations, to bring to adjudication the vessels charged with being engaged in an illicit traffic slaves.

The 7th Article of tbe Regulation for Ihe mixed Commission appended to the Treotv declares, In case of the condemnation for an uu'awful voyage, she shall be dtclaied lawtul prize, as. weli ber of the shall cote the which to be of the liberty be issued coast and 1820. Cuba which ing new are that of was been ment It that tied erty To and N. all of the and our but ver. the the also are of are I he but of I 1 be of whatever description it may be, with tbe cargo, shall be sold by public sale for the protit two Governments, and as to the elaves they receive from the mixed Commission a trtifi of and shall be delivered over to Government on whose Territory the Commission shall have so judged them shall be established, employed as servants or free laborers.

Each two Governments binds itself to guarantee the of such portion of these individuals as shall respectively consigned tj it." HertEiet, vol. 2. On the 19th December, 1S17, the King of Spain a Cedula or decree in conformity to the treaty prohibiting all resort lor the purchase of slaves to the of Africa north of the equator from that date, to the soulh of the equator from the 30lh of May, Hertslet, vol. 3, p. 376.

On the 15th April, 1S28, the Captain General o1 made public an order of the King of Spain after reciting the serious inconveniences result from the continuance in the Island of the many ly imported negroes who ore declared to be and free by virtue of the treaty of 1S17, declares the negroes emancipated by order of the provisions contained in the 7th article of the regu lations above cited, shall be removed from the Island Cuba, and be transported to some oneol his Majesty's European dominions, giving them whether soever they are carried, the 6amo employment as to be given to them in the said Island of Cuba according to the appropriations of the above mentioned article. Hertslct p. 4 15. This is conclusive of the matter unless there has some subscqueut act of the Spanish Govern legalizing the sale of slaves illegally imported. is unnecessary to say that it is highly improbable such act exists.

It is not too much therefore to assume that Cinguez is a free man, that he is enti to a certificate ot emancipation, and that his lib is guaranteed to him by the Spanish Govern ment. The following has been sent us for publication. The African Captives. the committee on behalf of the African priso ners at New Haven. Gentlemen Having been deputed to visit the company of Alrican captives now in confinement at New Haven, I hasten to lay before you a lew par ticulars respecting their situation.

I found them occupying four or five apartments of the county jail under the care of the United States Marshal Wilcox, and his assietant, Mr. Pendleton They seem to be made as comfortable as is con sistent with their situation, excepting that they need opportunities for exercise in the open air. This, I hope, will be secured as soon as the Marshal returns from New London, where he has gone to take an inventory of the slaver and its contents. A faithful and accomplished physician, Charle3 Hooker, M. of New Haven, is devoting to thrm the professional attention they need.

Five or six them are in the Hospital apartment, and some of rest are slightly affected with bowel complain' They have all been decently clothed in cotton shirt trou sers by the care of the marshal, and will have flannel provided as soon as the physician shall direct. Care is also taken as to their food. They were not as destitute of clothing when taken nea shores as hss been represented in the papers had clothing, probably found on board the vessel which they did not wear in consequence of the in tolerable heat while confined in the hold of the sla Great curiosity is frit to see these victims of the slave trade, the first that have been known in Con nccticut for a great many years. Multitudes visit prison, the keeper charging each one a shilling, avails of which, after a just compensation for Ins trouble, he proposes to expend for the benefit of the prisoners or for some other charitable object. Ob jections have been made to this course, but I lound some of the most intelligent and humane of tho citi zens satisfied that the sympathy produced by it is rather lavorable than otherwise to the p.

haaatt, and useful in tuieipg spirits, etc. Joseph Cinguez, the leader, is in a cell with other prisoners his countenance bears a resemblance to the prints that hawked about the streets he is less cheerful than many of the others. They all appear to be persons quick minds and a mild and cheerful temper there no contentions among them even the four chil dren, three girls and a boy, who are in a room by themselves, seem to be uniformly kind and friendly. took along with me an old African man, who said could speak the Congo language, in hopes thereby of obtaining the means of communication with them, as the newspapers said they spoke the Congo; they all say they are not Congoes. Many of them say Manding, whence it is supposed they are Mandi goes, though it is not unlikely there are persons of several tribes among them.

Unremitted tffirts will be made to obtain the means of communicaticn with these unfortunate persons, who have been committed to prison and bound over to be tried for their lives without an opportunity to say a word for themselves, and without a word communicated to them explanatory their situation. They are detained by the Mar shal on two processes one, the commitment for trial on a charge of murder, the other the claim up on them as properly by the Spaniards, who pretend to be their owners, and by the American captors who have libelled thsm for ealvage. It is believed there are a number of Africans in this city of various tribes, some of which will be able to communicate with them.

REMARKS. tC It is row ten years since we first introduced our selves to the New York public as Fashionable Hat Makers, established a system of business at once new and original, which, having rictly maintained in practice to the present time, liasacrjuired Sir our fabric a reputable distinction seldjin d.

The superior facilities, long exue rieure and critical knowledge we possessed, induced us to abandon the antique usages then generally prevalent, for manufacture and sale ol Hats, and adnit a system in every department peculiarly our own. by which we engaged liu msn, at a leductinn ol nearly Jijly per cent, an article inferior in quality and style to the tuo.4 costly. An al most unprecedented revolution in this branch of manufactures was accomplished and, consequently, a verv import saving to the consumer was the result of our successful efforts. It is worthy of remark, that, a few years ago, not only were the prevailing European stvlesof Hals the Pattern fashions for this country, but the piaclice also ol wearing i omion ami i artsian manufactures, prevailed toaconst ever, we feel a pri.le in saying that the ersed while our holding its untivallcd precedence others at home, it has also acquired an uisliuction the numerous testimonials in possession, of distinguished foreigners and travelling Americans, amply prove. The lasluonsoi the day which, as we acknowleilge no leader, we no longer borrow Irom foreign standards are original witli and will so coniiune to be.

The result of our Mr. Lcary investigation of Ihe merits transatlantic his recent vitit of many months, France and Engl tnil, has confirmed us in our preconceived opinions of the undoubted superiority of our fabric, in every particular, as regards taste, elegance.oi utility and decides ns to perpetuate, what we had already commenced a stamlard ol American Fashions.
