“Mutiny. The New Orleans Picayune of the 17th inst. Has the following: -- It will be recollected that the late English papers spoke of a party of one hundred and sixty-eight English Mormons being on their way out to this country, with the design of colonizing with Joe Smith, at Nauvoo. A letter from Captain Taylor, the boarding officer at the Belize, gives us the next notice of their whereabouts. Captain Taylor, in one of his eroises, on the 14th inst., at the bar of the N.E. Pass, was hailed by Captain Pierce, of the ship Henry, on board of which the Mormons were. Capt. Taylor boarded the ship, when he was informed by Captain Pierce that the passengers were then, and had been, in a state of mutiny, from the time they were three days out from Liverpool. At the request of Captain Pierce, and on his affidavit, Captain Taylor made prisoners of the Rev. John Snyder and two others whom Pierce pointed out as the ringleaders. Captain Taylor took the prisoners ashore with him. They have been since brought up to the city by the tow-boat Swan.”
