By la Veloz we learn that a report had been re ceived, previous to her sailing from the Havannah, of a brig of war having been wrecked on the Colora dos, about three weeks ago, and that his Majesty's sloop Shearwater had proceeded from the Havannah for the purpose of taking on board her crew. The Descubrador quitted Sierra Leone on the 24th tilt. in company with the Semiramis frigate, of 42 guns, Captain Sir James Lucas Yeo, K. C. B. and parted with her a week after sailing. She was to touch at Barbadoes and Martinique, and afterwards proceed to this island. In the Mona Passage the Des cubrador was chased for upwards of two hours by the squadron under Commodore Brion, consisting of thirteen vessels. The Descubrador carries 14 guns and 40 men, and was bound from the Havannah to the coast of Africa, on a coasting voyage, when she was detained on the 17th of January last, off Porto Nova, by the Cherub, of 22 guns, Captain Wells, on a charge of piracy, in having plundered a Portuguese schooner a few days previous. The Spanish schooner la Concia mounts one gun, and carries 35 men. She was originally from the Havannah to the coast of Africa, but was taken off Prince's Island, on the 27th of December last, by the Cherub, on a charge of piracy, in having plundered a Portuguese schooner, and an English ship called the Diana. When captured she had on board 500 slaves, who were landed at Sierra Leone, which place she left on the Ist inst. in company with the Cherub. Captain Wells intended to cruize about a month et the coast, and would then proceed to this island. In lat. 16. long. 60. la Concia spoke the ship Ber wkk, from Barbadoes, bound to London. On Friday tight, last week, off Crab Island, she boarded a Da. ::ish schooner belonging to St. Thomas's, and learnt that she had been plundered, a few days before, by a schooner under French colours. On the 23d inst. on passing St. John's, Porto Rico, she saw a Spanish frigate, a brig, and a schooner, at anchor, apparently very fine vessels. In the Mona Passage, on the 24th, she fell in with Commodore Brion, having his flag flying on board a fine English-built ship, of 700 tons, I called the Victoria ; two brigs and a schooner in company. An Officer from the Victoria boarded la Concia, and stated, that the Commodore was in' search of Aury's squadron, and, upon joining, in tended to attack a Spanish squadron, lately arrived from Cadiz, consisting of 25 sail, and lying at the Five Islands, near St. Bartholomew's: the combined squadrons of Brion and Aury would be equal in number to the Royalists. Brion had detained the Sanyo, Bucnos-Ayrean privateer, in consequence of her Commander having committed several acts of piracy. The. schooner Brutus, an Independent cruizer, a few weeks siace, captured, near the Mona Passage, a Spanish brig,, with 48,000 dollars on board, besides a cargo of Colonial produce, which she sent for Margarita.

Pars Papers of Sunday arrived last night, and this forenoon we have also received those of Monday along with a private letter from our regular Corres pondent at Paris. From none of these sources have we obtained any n•nv information respecting the late conspiracy. Our Ccrrespondent, whose letter we subjoin, complains strongly of the state of uncertainty in which the French public are kept concerning the matter; and tl.is feeling we sliould suppose to be very general among the people of Trance. - - The Funds have Lad a sudden fall from 78 fr. to 7f3 fr. 50 c. which in all probability has been occa sioned either by some new revelations which have got abroad respecting the extent and reality of the danger which has threatened the Government, or by the propensity which all persons naturally have to magnify in their own estimation every danger which is not distinctly open to their view. The following are Extracts from the Journals : PARIS, JULY 12. Yesterday the King transacted business with Count dr Pradel, the Duke de Richelieu, and Count de Cazes. A letter from Copenhagen, dated June 5, contains the following statement:—The King of Denmark has, at the request of the Duchess of Brunswick, and in consideration of the bets othing of her niece, Ma; demoiselle de St. Aulaire, consented to the trans rni.sion of the Duchy of Glucl:sberg in favour of Ma demoiselle de St. Aulaire and the Count de Cazes, her intended husband, in the case of the marriage taking place. This act of the ring has produced a strong sensation here, as it is a proof of the attach ment of the King to the Duchess of Brunswick, but more particularly of the esteem which the French Government enjoys here. The Duchess of Bruns wick and her sister, the Marchioness of Soyecomt, were aunts and only heiresses of the Prince of Nassau Saarbruck, who died in 1795, and Mademoiselle de St. Aulaire is the niece and grand-daughter of these two Princesses, and their sole heir. The Duchess of Brunswick's first husband was the Duke of Glacks berg Holstein, a Prince of the Danish blood royal. After his deati, the King of Denmark, who honour ed this Princess with particular marks of favour, al lowed her the possession of the Duchy of Glucksberg, where she now resides. The Duchess engages to at- tach to this fief otller property to the value of 300,000 francs in favour.of her niece, in order to form a ma jorat of the Duchy in the terms of the Royal rescript. The Duke of Saxe Gotha has lately caused a new Constitution to be drawn up for his States. It is said to resemble that of the Grand Duchy of Sue Weimar, for which the Germanic Diet shewed so much pie dilection. We are assured that among the articles which arc to be enclosed within the equestrian statue of Henry IV. are several literary monuments raised to the glory of that Prince. These works,are, the Llfegf Henry IV. by Perefixe ; the Henriade; and the Memoirs of Sully. They are to be bound in such a manner as to enable them long to resist the effect of time. It is believed that M. Couture, Counsel for Gene ral Cannel, in his action for calumny against MM. Senneville and Fabvier, in consequence of the ab sence of his client, will apply for the postponement of his cause, which stands for the 21st. The Hereditary Prince and Princess of Hesse- Hombourg arrived at Frankfort on the 13th, and were to make their solemn entry into Hombourg on the following day. PARIS, JULY 20. The levee at St. Cloud yesterday was numerous and brilliant. The Neapolitan Ambassador, the Mi nisters of Foreign Affairs, of Finances, of the Inte rior, of War, and of General Police, Marshals the Duke of Dantzic and Coigny, and a crowd of Lieu tenant-Generals, and superior Officers of all classo, were present. BERM!, JULY 14. On the 6th ir:stant, the Federal Diet commence its sittings. ZURICH, JULY 15. Great preparations are making here for the grand Secular Fete in honour of the Reformation, which is definitively fixed for the Ist of January, 1819, and the two following days. All the other Cantons of Switzerland, as well of mixed persuasions as Pro testant, with the single exception of Berne, propose to celebrate the fete at the same period. M. Hess, first Minister of Zurich, will preside at these solemnities. DRESDEN, JULY 8. The Session of the Saxon Diet, which has just closed, has lasted eighteen months. Affairs still re main in siatu quo, and there is not the least change in our political organization. Some of the existing im posts will be augmented by the Decrees of the Diet ; but no new ones have been imposed. The Noblesse have consented to some pecuniary sacrifices under the denomination of gifts; but all these pecuniary grants of the Noblesse bear no proportion to the bur dens borne by the inhabitants of the towns and by the peasantry. _ _ _ We find among the Noblesse many who a-c sensible of what public opinion demands, and who are inclined to do all that the spirit of the age re quires from them. All that is wanted is, that some Citizens themselves of the Diet ; should make propo sitions tending to provoke ameliorations, which it is more than probable would ultimately be accomplish ed. It is generally agreed that Saxony has need of such political institutions as have been already intro duced into SaxeWeimar and Nassau, and more re cently into Bavaria. VIENNA, JULY St. The '2Bth of June has been a terrible day for the' city of Prague. A dreadful Dampest arose l e:ween six and seven o'clock in the evening, which did a great deal of damage, and occasioned the loss of several. lives. The storm extended to the west of Bohemia, and "as particularly felt a: Pilsen and Carlstadt. The lightning set fire to a forest near Carlsbad, and so rapid was the conflagration, that if a heavy rain had not happily fallen at the time, the city ltr.elf would have been a prey to the flames. CON'fitNtINUPL2, , 7 ,7)NE 10. The Grand Seighlor has gone to reside at Beschi katsch, Ids summer palace on the ::o•phoruc. • i The fifth spcuce of the Sultan, :timed 13eschin$1:;. and mother of Abdouci-llamet, przsumptive of the crown, died last month. Letters from Alexandria, of the 9th of May, an nounce that the Wachabites have beaten, in Upper Egypt, two corps of the army of Mahomet Ali- Pacha. This intelligence, so disastrous to the Tur kish arms, has spread great consternation, particu larly at Alexandria. It is a singular circumstance, that, at the very .same moment, news of quite an o pposite kind are in circulation, according to which IBRAHIM PACHA continues to make progress, and is advancing on Draje, the capital of the Wacha bites—a fact which is confirmed by letters from Aleppo of the 19th of May. Within these few days two pirate Chiefs were hung here, who had been taken in the Archipelago. AIX-LA-CHAPELLE, JULY 13. The prcparations for the reception of the Sove reigns are continuing with great activity. One of the principal hotels of the town is engaged for the Duke of Richelieu, who is to attend the Congress in the name of the King of France. /RUN, JULY S. The news from Cadiz and Coruntia is very serious with respect to the depredations of Insurgent priva teers. There is a squadron consisting of six vessels on the coast, one of which carries p 0 guns. It is said that a frigate, loaded with ingots and piastres, has been taken a few days after she sailed from the Havannah. Letters froth Madrid give occasion to much un- easiness as to the state of our relations with North America ; some even speak of war as inevitable.— Our differences with the Court of Brazil are also far from being so completely arranged as we supposed they were. PRIVATE LETTER. " Pans, Jvir 18. " The letter which Marmont has just published to the Duke of Ragusa, does him infinite honour. The object of this letter, which has been circulated in all shapes except in the columns of the Journals, is to support with his testimony, the revelations of Colo nel Fabrier, who, after that distinguished patriot, Camille Jourdan, was the first to throw a glare of light on the scenes of horror of which the City of Lyons was the theatre in June 1817. 44 It is impossible but that the French Government must throw aside the indifference which it has mani fested in this affair, when its attention is thus forcibly called to it by men who are held in such general esteem. " We have seen that when one single individual is murdered, nothing can stay for a moment the aveng ing hand pf justice—and, shall it be said, that when no less than two hundred and sixteen. Frenchmen have been judicially condemned—when the greater part have been put to death, and the rest consigned to infamy—and when it is veritably asserted that all this has been done without a shadow of just cause, the Ministry remained tranquil, and suffered such atrocities to pass unnoticed ? "The reality of the conspiracy is still doubted by many. It is, indeed, remarkable, that although the most formal denunciations have been madt by men who enjoy in a great degree the confidence of the public, the nation is still left in uncertainty as to the real truth of the case. What is to be thought of such horrible suspicions existing, and no inquiry being made—or at least its results made known? Such is the nature of the crimes imputed to General Cannel, that it might have been naturally supposed that - the General himself, as well as 211 France, would have been most ardently desirous to have the charge in stantly sifted to the bottom. Either there are great criminals, or great calumniators. In either case, in-, quiry is indispensable; for no man surely will agree, with M. Chabrol. that if persons in power arc in volved in such crimes, it would be well to dig to the centre of the earth to conceal the fact for ever. Such concealment might be well for the wicked, but can never do under a Representative Government, which owes to the people publicity and responsibility. The truth ought, on the contrary, to be proclaimed on the house-top:, that the like may never happen again. " The conduct of Marmont, I must again repeat, is much to his honour. lie has done his duty, which is the more honourable in him, since it is a task by Alo means :lee :rant o—it:ger, for doubtless it must be some strong motive which prevents the Minister from following the usual course of obtaining justice." Intelligence has been received, via Holland, from the Cape of Good Hope, which states, that since the interview which the Governor bad with the Chiefs of the Cafres, on the Cars river, GAIKA, and the Chiefs which were under him, have observed strictly the spirit of the Conventions concluded at that time with all the Chiefs of the frontiers. The turbulent flee booter, Sambiar, had, however, together with others over whom he exercised his influence, broken the en gagements entered into, by teething to give up the cattle which they took from the colonists, and which were known tc be hidden in great numbers in their villages. • The party, under the orders of Comman dant MuLLen, received orders from Sambiar to quit his territories, or risk the tonsequences, but this inso lence, it was determined, should not go unpunished and force, if it was necessary, should be employed, as in the village where Sambiar dwelt, there were no less than ft.'ooo head of tittle belonging to the colo nists, from whom they had been pillaged, and. in or der to regain them, I`Nor FP.ASFR received an or der to transport his trcops to Kieskamma for the purpose of making the exaction. They amounted to SOO men, together with 150 armed inhabitants on horseback. The Chief, Sambiar, being made ac quainted with these movements, put himself at the head of 2000 Cafres to meet the Major, who having vainly attempted to obtain his object by mild mea sures, commenced operations to enforce his demand. Sanibiar continued his outrageous conduct, threaten ing to kill any one who dared approach, as he was reinforced by nine other Chiefs. Notwithstanding this appearance of strength, the Cafres were in a very short time dispersed by a general discharge of mus ketry, and Major FRAsER took 2000 head of cattle, which were distributed to their owners. In the affair , an immense number of Cafres were killed, but the loss of the force under Major FRASER was very trifling. It was expected abthe Cape that tranquil lity would in future be secured, by this useful lesson received by the most outrageous of the brigands. The spirit of combination which has displayed it self among the Cotton Spinners of Manchester, does not appear to be yet subdued. They have as yet ab stained from acts of open violence, but they con tinue to parade the streets in large bodies, with the obvious intention of intimidating the Master Manu facturers into the concession of their demands. The account of the condition of the QuEau yes terday was, " The Qualm continues much the same as yesterday.". THE AMY. Wednesday se'nnight, the second division tf 1 4 Scots Greys arrived in Belf.u.t.
