About two, the :rind inclined to veer more to the eastward, and I atoned it most prudent to attempt the bar under a press of sail, and it -being then dead low water, we ran in with great facility, although the sea was breaking all over the entrance." The letters from the Cape state, that the English merchantman, the Elizabeth, which had been taken to sea by deserters from the 60th Regiment, and by convicts, on the 11th November, was supposed to have entirely escaped. She was persued by a sloop and a brig, but as she proceeded to sea in the night of the 11th, and the others did not leave the an chorage till a late hour of the following dab, little chance of capture was entertaiaed. The principal in arranging this seizure was reported to be a young • man s who had committed forgery at • the Cape, and had been banished to Robin Island (the Botany Bay of the Cape) where the vessel was seized. We are sorry to find that both the papers from the • Cape, and private letters, confirm the Recounts al ready received, that the Dutch had committed great excesses in their restored Colonies. The immediate cause of the revolt at Saporana was, that the Dutch Resident had ordered a woman to be flogged naked, in the bazaar. The murder of the natives (prisoners) at Jaya, is also mentioned. • THE. EVENING STAR.

The argument is the same that was at first used—the high price of Bullion, and the Exchange being at present against this Country. Do you really wish to reduce the price of Bullion, and to improve , the Course of Exchange? You will effect both, the moment you resume Cash Payments : but you can not bring the price of Bullion and the Exchange to a par till you take away the temptation to export Bullion. Let it be recollected, that when all artificial restraints are removed from the freevirculation of specie, the export or import--ghat' is, the tsalasSONUl then de pend, and depend aoly on the real barium ertrade.

By-comparing dates, we cannot, however, consider tM hi : Completely invalidating the news inserted in their it' of the 13th instant, from the Extraordinary GazetteVfilfoxieo of Ist November, stating the cap ture of Maids. If we allow four weeks for the ac count referred to in the letter before us, to.travel from Mexico to the Havannah, the battle of which it speaks must have taken place at least a fortnight be fore the capture of MINA : for the Extraordinary Ga:ette announcing the capture of MINA, was re= printed in the Havannah Gazette of Ist December, that is precisely one month after its publication at Mexico ; and our present letter is dated a fortnight culler than the Havannah Gazette. Sa much for dates—supposing the intelligence in the aszette Reliptortfirar',./ iv llartl lseen correct • but admitting,-fur.kiliognent, the-tenth of the stattantnt ht letter before us, We mar question the accuracy of the Royal Gaseete; Itir if, Only ibrtnight betbre, . liiiyallste sustained a complete defeat, it is not probable that 1111/14 could have been in 'circ um stanc which exposed him to the danger of being taken pri toner by the Royalists. In a word, we must wait ifoi. . er accounts. ' ' But we learn frOtit bsr Havannah Correspondent nuather fact, which can*"fall to excite considerable indignation in the bleats Of every Briton zealous for the rights and honour of his country. The frigate PIQUE, dispatched by the Governor of Jamaica to Havannah; to demand restitution of the Bullion of which the Royalists—the adherents of the Beloved FERDINAND, possessed themselves when the ship TAY was wrecked on that coast, has been sent back again Without obtaining the object of her voyage, We leave to otbers, in whose department it properly lies, to take that notice of this transaction which it demands. We cannot, however, avoid expressing tiur opinion, that an immediate reparation of this in and act of injustice—..inflicted on ourselves, should precede any interference, even by negotiation, to settle the differences between Spain and her Colonies. " Some of int contempdraries pretend to have ex tracted from The /Virgin/7a' Intelligencer of Washing- , ton, of the 13th vie6mber, certain advices from Charleston, dated orihe day preceding, whi c h must of course have travelled e3O miles, the distance be tween Wishingtonand Charleiton, In the course o 1 twenty-four hours, and to which. accounts great int; portance is attributetl, as they state that nearly the vrnotn disposable force of the United-States is in mo tion to the southward. The truth is that whatever of et there is in this intelligence—for as to the amount of force in motion, the report seems to have gained a wonderful accession in the course of its rapid flight— it was fullyaommunicated to our Readers so far back e.s the sth instant, when we stated, on the authority of Charleston Papers of the 7th of December, that all the disposable force on the Sea Board of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, under the command of Colonel BANEHEAD, had been ordered to rendezvous at a point on St. Mary River, with the view, as was evidently implied in the account, of , giving that assistance to General GAINEs, in his ex- 1 pedition against the Seminole Indians, for which the General, in his dispatches, had made such urgent That there may be ulterior projects which the army snider Guy's is designed to carry into ef fect7-that the ocpipation of. Galveston and the other debateable ground between the American and Spanish territories, may, in particular, be a thing very much in the way of such a force, when it has inithin else left to achieve, we think probable enough; floras the terms of the Presidents Message, respecting these I disputed objects ; but certainly no intelligence , has been received, which. can warrant a belief thit any movement of troops against that quarter has, as yet, actually taken place. The sailing of the expedition against Amelia Island, is a fact of which there is no doubt ; and, considering how exactly similar the question of right is, both in respect of Amelia and of Galveston, it is a fact which may fully justify all the apprehension which has been excited by the pre mature belief of a hostile movement against the litter. On this subject we offered a few observations yes terday, accompanied with some extracts from the American Papers themselves, in support of them;' and we now subjoin a farther extract, to the same purpose, from the Aurora, of Philadelphia, which be found well deserving of attention : " We must, upon the terms of the Message itself, consider the revolted Provinces and Spain in a state of civil war, upon the same terms as the Powers of Europe recognized the United States, at the period' of the armed neutrality. This State obliges us to conform to the rule of rigid neutrality. This rule forbids the rendering of any aids to one side which may prove pernicious to the opfonent ; it equally forbids injuries to either. By the recent hisaory of, those revolted Provinces, we learn that they Weal ,been, like all other States or countries in a civil 44 1 exposed to alternate disasters and reveries; thepeifi 'astetiestful in the beginning of the rti t fleiftlefea6 and the adversary has the ascendant ; the min passes in cruel conflict and desolation, and fortusii again changes hands. A machiavelian policy migbt seize upon either state of vicissitudes to authoilse acts previously determined, but the common sense of mankind, and the abhorrence of history, would vindicate the cause of virtue notwithstanding its dis.; asters, and consign the perfidious betrayer of htnzisi rights to eternal detestation. In measuring the policy which we ought to put ; sue in relsition to others, we should take that most sacred of ell moral maxims as our standard—." Da unto others as you would that others sk.ould do unto you." Let tis bring the question to our.own door. Suppose that afterzhe news of the disaster at Long Island, in August, 1776, that after 2,000 Americans were kil -1 led, 1,000 prisoners, and the remains of the army saved from utter destruction only by a fog; snppote the Minister of the Power which was and had an in terest in being most friendly, had made a declaration that Dr. Franklin could not be recognized as Minis ter, and that a body of troops should be marched to occupy Rhode Island, and drive the rebel troops out of it as.a band of smugglers Ind dealers in the slave trade ; that Paul Jones was at anchor in Newport ; that his ectripinission given him by Dr; Franklin sir s declared - atilt, and his ship, the Bon liomme Rich `Ord; was to be considered only as a buccaneer; and the (governor placed by the Rebel Government over Rhode Island, should be considered an outlzw, 'Without any authority that was legitimate. " Had such conduct been pursued towards the United States during the infancy of their struggles, with what abhorrence ought we not to speak of such e tbolical perfidy and policy. " And what constitutes the difference between our condition in this supposed case, and the condition of the South Americans now at Amelia? In what re spect is the authority and the delegated power vested in Don Pedro Wall more defective than the autho rity and the commission held by Dr. Pranklin?— What constitutes the difference or inequality between Paul Jones in a North American ship of war, and Louis Aury in a South American ship of war? " It is most extraordinary indeed, that the Re public of North America should outstrip legitimacy, and that the abuse of the agents of despotism, .which• was wasted against Paul Jones and Corasiapdore Hopkins, should find full faith and credence from the very Government in defence of which Pail Jones and Hopkins fought. There is such a violation of whatever do homes man would deem probable or possibla inlbis state of, things, that it seems more like romance than reality:" DUBLIN,JANUARY 14.

A few days ago PETER JUIRETT, Esq. of Glou cester-place, goipg along the New Road, apparently hi excellent health, he suddenly dropped down and expired. _ Lientenant-Colonel HERRIRS and Captain GORDON, of the Navy, were attacked in their way to Naples, between Tarsals* and Fondi, by banditti, on the evening of the 12th December. The first act of the villains was to fire upon the postilion, without previ ous warning. He fell mortally wounded. They then proceeded to rifle the travellers, and took from them theirstatehes, money, &c. The banditti were divided into two parties, one of which was immediately active in the attack and robbery, while the other remained in reserve at a short distance; and their numbers were so considerable, that Lieutenant-Colonel HER ants and his companion must be considered as owing,' N their lives to their being unprepared to offer any re nuance. They suffered litre personal violence, were allowed, when the plunder was finished, to pre med on their journey, the servant taking the place of the ponilion, ,who was ,conveyed to Fondi in. the carriage.
