Al most all the white people have fallen a sacrifice, par tisslarly those persons recently , arrived from this roomy. The poor infatuated natives attributed the d.ision to a judgment for the great sacrifice of lives lady made during the insurrection at Barbadoes. Letters from New York to the 17th ult. contain an menu of a tnisunderstandiog with M. HYDE DI 11ZETILLE, the French Ambassador. Shortly after datGeatletnan reached Baltimore, it seems a public imam was given to the Regicides and other French *skives, and toasts considered to be insulting to the Tench Government were drank on the occasion, piticalarly one proposed by the Postmaster of Sales man. M. DR NRUVILLE considered the conduct of is Postmaster a fit subject for remonstrance: but he ion karat, that if the PRESIDENT himself bad bees *posed to a similar insult, the laws of America weld have given him no remedy.

Ye are glad, however, to perceive that one of the Cott daring of the pirates, called Commodote Avinr;' hg met with the just reward of his outrages.. being Wiped in a mutiny of the negroes, with 'whom he hd manned some of his vessels. The consequence I this event was, the entire breaking up of the for• lidable nest of pirates, of which he was arthe bead. little tithe previously, the capture of the British %honer Perthshire, off Morant Bay, with a cargo I the value of £50,000, had excited a strong :Asa ion in the West Indies. The piratical vessel which armed her was commanded by SAMUEL BROWN, is American. The owners of the Peethshire had offered a reward of 500 .dollars for the recovery of be Perthshire, or for the apprehension of any of the watts or master of the schooner Hunter, alias General Arismendi.

A inorig the Letters received is tkrie written by one of the South American leaders. As might haie been , expected, the writer bolds out the highest hopes of ultimate success to the cause of the Independents. The mass of European readers of Journals, he ob serves, confound in their imagination the names of Venezuela, Carthagena, Peru, Mexico, Buenos Ayres, Chili, &c.; and because they read of the rash and imprudent operations of a Botavan, they conclude the cause of indap ndence in general had become' desperate throughout Spanish America. The fact is, says this person, that it would be easier to con duct an army from Hamburgh to Persia; than from Caraccns, for instance, to Mexico or Chili. Until now, Mexico, Buenos.Ayres, anti Chili, have been all unconnected in plan or system, and thus partial successes and occasional misfortunes are to be alike ascribed to the rivalry of the different Chiefs, and to the misunderstanding of the different Provin cial Governments, among: a people until now stran gers to the first elements of Civil Government. It is asserted that they are at length approaching to some thing like a mutual understanding with each other. ' In Mexico, the Indedeadents have occupied Mata gorda, Punta de Piedra, and some other places on the coast, as well as Mechoacan, Tlascala, and seve ral principal towns of the interior. In the Provinces of la Plata they have also a general system of union among themselves, and have opened a communica tion with Chili, in which latter direction they threaten to send an expedition by the beginning of the new year, to dispossesss the Spaniards, and establish a Commercial intercourse between the principal places in Europe, and the ports beyond Cape Horn. Such are the flattering prospects drawn by the South American writer, who seems extremely angry that the Federalist Journals in the United States do not in general corroborate his statements. The de mocratic papers, on the contrary, having a natural leaning toward the cause of insurrection and civil war, give full credit to the anticipated triumph of the independent cause' It is impossible, at this distance, to know what is deserving of credit in these contradictory accounts; but from all that we can collect from those before us, we have no reason to believe the Royalist ac counts which stated the defeat and , death of Sir GREGOR MiGnzoon : on the contrary, it appears that the action fought on the 2d of August between hint and the Spaniards ended in favour of the Patriots notwithstanding the boasting in the Spanish Official accounts. The following is the Proclamation of General MARINO, previous to his leaving his quarterrat Irapa to meet the Spanish Army under MORALES. The concluding sentiments certainly form a great contrast , to the breathings of revenge, cruelly threatened, and more horridly executed by the Spaniards against their South American brethren : /4 Soldiers!—Behold here the beanies of your country which I have now the honour to present to you, t confide them to your care, defend them, and let them remind you of the memorable scions at Ages Negro, Boca Clara, Caraboho, San Diego, Ma curio, and craps.

NOVO) ADMIRAL BROWN. w The Hercules, Commodore BROWN, arrived at Barbadoes towards the end of September. At the tame time kis Majesty's ship the Beaver, Captain STIRLINO, came in from a eruize. .The Custom house Oilicers went on board the Hercules, but not being able to read Spanish, or being otherwise de ceived, they did not seize her, and Sir JAMES Lora ordered her to quit the island. " By some circumstances Captain &natures suspi cions were excited, and on searching her papers be found out who she was, and Baows acknowledged he had abandoned the cause of Buenos Ayres, and was seeking a port to dispose of his cargo. The only commissions he had were, a commission for another vessel, and one to a person not on board. Captain STIRLING therefore seized ber under the Na vigation Laws, and carried her to the Admiral at Antigua, who approved of what he had done. The Hercules mounts 22 guns, and has 56 men, with a valuable cargo of quicksilver, silks, steel, dry goods, and spice, supposed worth a million of dollars, the produce of plundered towns and vessels in the Pacific Ocean. The lawyers have no doubt of her confisca tion s but there appears much doubt of what is to be dosie with Adpiral Baowst sad hit crew, whether or not they are to be seat babe-and - tried aspirates."

The extra India ship James Sibbald, arrived in the Dawns on the 11th instant, from Bengal and the Moluccas : she left Bengal the 6th of February, Ba tavia the 20th of March, Banda the 21st of June, Avaboyna the 16th July, and St. Helena the 10th of October. By the arrival of the ship Ocean, laden with coffee on account of the East India Company, dispatches and letters from JAVA have been received to the 7th of August. The Wand was not, at that period, actually delivered over to the Dutch Authorities, but it was expected the flag of the Netherlands would be hoisted at Batavia by the 16th- of that month. A detachment of SOO men bad been sent by the Dutch to take posseision of Macasser, and the remaining force, which did not exceed 1000 men, were to be distributed in the different stations on Java, until the arrival of reinforcements from Europe, w hich were confidently expected by the Duch Commissioners. The British Government bad assisted the Commis sioners with two lace of rupees, to enable them to de tach their force to Macasser and the Eastern Districts. Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's, at Gibraltar, dated November 21 : a Since my letter of the 14th instant, J have not learnt any thin farther respecting the vessels detained by the Maroquins, excepting that the crew of the Count Wittgenstein have been sent round to St. Tan gier, who being all foreigners but three, the former are to be delivered up to their respective Consuls.— It bas been reported that the American squadron under Commodore CHAUNCEY, part of which, with the Commodore, are now here, were to winter at Messina : it is now stated that they will be reinforced here, and proceed to act against Algiers. This, I think, is very probable."' A letter from Quebec, of the 14th October, says, " The fires in the woods extended to Gilmonton, Guildford, Alton, Barnstead, New Durham, F.ll - Rochester, Plymouth, Rummy, Wentworth and Warren ; further east there are extensive fires along the towns on the Kenebeo river. At Gilmon ton an explosion took place last week, which threw up timber to the height of 60 feet, and a column of fire rose as high as the eye could reach, to the extent of above five roodr square. It was attended with al noise similar to an earthquake, and lasted between one and two minutes."

This is not the case t and the following are the cir cumstancei which gaite rise to the errcncous report For several days the most intelligent and ietive of the, Police Officers of the Metropolis have been dis; patched alternately by the Magistrates to thesarious oot•ports of the kingdom or to places where it was likely Watson would be found. Pearkes, one of the most zealous of the 11)w-sleet officers, was sent on one of these expeditions to Beth and Btis:ol, and in rettirning to town through Reading yesterday with out the object of his pursuit, be was informed that a suspicious person was lodging in an ale-house in the vicinity or that place, whose appearance strongly re= sembled young Watson. Pearkes accordingly took this individual into custody and brought him to town by the Volunteer Bath coach, which arrived thii morning between nine and ten o'clock. On taking their prisoner to Bow-street, it was clearly ascer tained that he was not t'... person wanted, and he has accordingly been discharged. Lord SIDMOUTH, and Mi. CONANT, the m.o. trate, are in constant attendance at the Home Dr partment to receive the prisoner whom taken, and put hie? under examination. ?he report of the capture of Watson, jun. reached town this morning long before the arrival of the coach which conveyed the person mistaken for him. In fact the coachman and guard of the Volunteet told all the coachmen and guards who passed them . that they had got young Watson in the coach, and thus the report reached town. A few days since, a man arrived at Frome, in Somersetshire, blowing a horn, wearing blue ribbons in his hat, emblazoned with 44 Petition for Reform," Sec. anti offering the Nottingham, Stockport, and Liverpool Resolutions, printed together at Bath, for sale at twopence each, and of which, he said, he had sold a great number at Caine, Chippenham, and other places. Ile had sold about forty at Frome, when on a threat from the Magistrates he decanird, sad was lately seen at Bristol. On the 4th inst. the Urn. Artillery Company held their annual general Court, for the election of Officers, all of whom were se-elected for the year ensuing.— previous to the business of the day commencing, the minutes of transactions relative to the Carps whielt have taken place since the last. general Court were read by the Secretary. The most important were these relative to the late riots. from seli . ch it appeared that intottnation reached Lord SIDAtoUTo on Sunday the Ist inst. that a part of the plan of the rioters was to attack the Artillery House, with a view O f o b. raining possession of the arms and stores deposited there. This information Lord SWAM= t nomuni. Bated, by letter, to chi Lotto Mewl', who, on re ceiving it, immediately transmitted tt.e same to Colo nel CURTIS, Commander of the Regiment. Colonel CURT'S instantly called a Court cf Emergency, and notices were sent on Sunday evening to every Mem. ber of the Corps, requiring their attendance next day by twelve o'clock ; at which period a very full muster took place, and the Regiment was under arms, and continued so till three o'clock on Tuesday morning, when the main body was disinissed, but a strong guard was left on duty. At ten o'clock, on Tuesday, the Regiment was again under arms, and remained so through the day, and a guard has since been regularly mustered. We are happy to learn that Government has taken into consideration the forlorn state of the foreign sea men who have so long been begging about the streets of the Metropolis, and passing the nights under the miserable shelter of the bridges. The Helder frigate, • of 82 goes, is to be sent immediately from Deptford,. to lie off the Tower, for the reception of these desti tute men. She is commanded by Lieutenant Cur.. LITT, of the Navy; and is placed under the special directions of the LORD MAYOR, with. rebpect tq tie reception of proper objects.
