lieflTM AMERICA. Enact of a letter from Charleston, dated August' 80, 1817. received in town yesterday s sr We have received intelbgenee here from Amen% Island, to so late a date as the 26th instant,. which represent bl• Gregor to be in a more prosperous state than we were led to imagine from the last previous advises. His force, instead of being redhced to 60 men, as has been presnulgated, has never been km, than 100. and this defeeneu, which was but amen. vary, was more than supplied by the arrival of the Patriota, r 4 16 guns, Commodore Taylor, from this Chesapeak, by which he received an accession of 300 men. The ship Margatet' was hourly expected, having on board 400 men. Oa the arrival of the Margaret, the intention of bis Gregor is to push for wards against St. Augustine. His naval force con. sisted, in addition to the Patriots,. of five well armed and manned vessels. The letter also mentions, that the troops had uniformly been in good spirits, and that they were. sanguine of success, and that they never evinced the least disposition to evacuate Ame. lia, as has been reported. They had gained intelli. race at Amelia, from New Orleans, of the 30th ult. that Commodore Audry, with four armed vessels, had sailed from Galveston foe Amelia Island, to co operate with McGregor." • . DiaSACT OW A LETTER nor WASHINOM, DAM nerzieset - 5, 181 7. 1 d We have received advice' that the Free great Powers of Europe have commanded the Kings of ffpain and Portugal to submit their differences to an High Clean of Arbitration. That these Sovereigns kayo obeyed the order, aid humbly await the decree which is to recognise, reject, or modify their respec tive pretensions. There is, however, a this• party, whose interests may be affected by the decision, but whose acknowledgment of the authority of the juris diction will never be obtained. The people of Venezuela, of Buenos. Ayres, and Chili, have reeonquered their rights, and they will pot suffer their independence to be the ,vljecs of GI England, Russia, Austria, Prussia and France may make Ilse restoration of she Spanish Deftendelecies to the mooed of Ferri:nand II!. the basis of their act of mediation, and threaten disobedience with the sword of the Holy Affiance. The Janissaries of Legiti macy may ravage the territories of South America, and Coalition Squadrons desolate her coasts, but the Flag of Liberty swill n_ver be struck by South Ame rican hands. a Is it, however, probable, in the event of the people of Europe permitting their Governments to pursue a system so detestable and pernicious to themselves, that the United States should remain indifferent spec tators of a struggle reviving every generous recollec tion, % and involving their own safety ? Could the Statesmen of this country be so blind as not to see that the cause of Independence is a common Caine ? That the successful controul of the Allied Powers fiver an port►on of American freemen would finally encourage another effort for the extirpat►on of that form of Government which augments the terror of the European Riders, in the proport►on that their measures tend to alienate the affections of their own subjects ? “ The increase of our marine to 12 sail of the line find 19 frigates, as a preliminary establiskment, proves • that they are sot heartless or thoughtless guardians of American liberty.; and the seal with which the citi. "sons of America, whether merchants or a7ricultorists, support the views of the Government, affords incon trovertible evidence that they are resolved to contend for the rights of man and American fraternity. es The first etialilion gun which is fired by the e tuatui of the European Legislatures against South Ameriean Independence, will be answered by the coalition cannon of the Western Hemisphere.- 1 Glory. jnstice, freedom. and self-preservation insti gate the policy, and will supply requisite energy for the conflict." Extract of a Letter from a Gentleman at the' Head tithe Medical Depacinent in Guayana ; " Guayana, August 20, 1517. A• On the 10th of July we disembarked six leagues below Guayana, when a fort of four guns was ins Inediately erected fur the security of the squadron, and to offend the enemy if he attempted to go down the river. This fort was manned' by seamen and a division of the army, five hundred of whom were also embarked on board the squadron. These dispo sitions being taken, the enemy evacuated Augustura oa the 20th July. and re-united all his force in Geapsna, from whence from 15 to 40 passed over to us every night ; at last, on the 7th instant, he, when the nights were obscure, embarked all his peo ple. as well soldiers as families, and attempted to pass out guard. In the course of the three first days a number of small vessels, a bomb vessel, three schooners, and a brig were taken, and on this last days of the cheer all the rest, with the exception of a ship and nine schooners. I understand the booty taught is considerable. I have seen a letter from Brion. in which he says he has upwards of a thou sand prisoners. To-day, if the wind is favourable, he and his squadron are eapeeted. General Bolivar Is now empluyed, with the other Members of the Go vernment, is arranging the Civil and Military De pnrtments, which 1 understand will occupy them till she middle of September. when the army sad slue- Senn will proceed against Venezuela; absolutely all this prsavince is in our recession—the army is nume rous and willing. irraing with a patience and con stancy not tu be surpassed in Europe ; we have the beet reason to hope for a speedy and happy termina. ,on of the war in Venezuela. At present my family are Ytry happy' the Ge neral does every thing to make us so. Since the mo 'Went I joined him, he has been careful to distinguish ino 1 for the present he has given me the appointment of Samara of the Armies and Marine, and as hr as eireninstances and the - resources of the country will s n o w, he haw adopted my plan for the Administra- Sea of the Hospitals, arc. when things are more set. tiadthe will adopt the English plan in all its extent."

EXTRACT or ANOTHER urrrrit, DATED PORT SPAIN, strremsEß 5, 1817: le The Spaniards had not time to spike their guns or destroy any thing, either in Angestura -or old Guayana. Colonel Babies, of Caraceas, arrived here on the Ist instant, in four days rroni the latter. It is surprising that M Grillo, having a su perior dere, did not pursue Brion when he went to the Orinoko, instead of attacking Margarita, where be was beaten off with the loss of 1500 men.

The Duke of WELLINGTON set out from Paris early on Friday morning for Cambray, to which place, as will be seen from our extracts in another part from the German Papers, his Grace has summoned all the Commanders in Chief of the troops composing the Army of Occupation, in order to deliberate on same important matters. The report of his Grace's arrival in Lemdon on Saturday last, is of coarse erroneous. The French Funds have experienced a partial rise since this last visit of the Duke of Witunorox to Paris, but whetherin consequence of any thing re sulting from it, favourable to the financial interests of France, is not rtported. On Friday the Five per Cents. were at 6.51 r. Sc. The overture of the PACHA of EGYPT to the Euro• peen Powers, for their countenance and protection to his projected assumption of the Sovereignty of Egypt and part of the coast of Africa, has, according to a German Paper, been well received by Sweden, but rather coldly by Great Britain. It is affirmed at Gottenburgh, that a Treaty to the effect desired has actually been concluded between Sweden and the Nor are the Barbaresque Powers, it seems, unaware of the scheme which is hitching against them, since they have for some months past o sleclared all ships of the Paella of Egypt to be lawful prize, and in many Instances violited that respect which they have been hitherto accustomed to pay to the Swedish Flag. From Hambnrgh two Mails have arrived to-day, from the Papers received by which we subjoin the following extracts: BARBARY PIRATES. 11101! VIZ SAMMEN GAZYTTS, OCTOUR 20. The following letter of his Excellency the Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs, which has been received by the Editors of the Browns Gazelle through an offi cial channel, furnishes a new proof of what the Eu ropeans, particularly the Germans, have to expect from thou barbarians, who only wait for the moment when their marine, which is now recovering, shall allow them to recommence their old cruelties, which are become a second nature to them, and probably in a more systematic manner than befote. We may, however, easily expect from our Governments, that they will speedily join, not only in s Christian, but in a philanthropic union against the Barbary States, And so protect the honour, the pesseas, and the pro perty of the subjects and citizens confided to their care. We hear, indeed, that such a union is forming, and that the negociatioas which are carrying on in London are advanchlg to a happy issue. The letter is as follows s, 48 It is known, from the accounts which the King my master hes received from his Consul and Chargi d'Affaires at rangier., that the Government of Mo rocco demanded /on the SOth August) the usual passports, for is frigate (La Mensora, Si. guns, so men, Captain Arrach Abdotratuan Basgask), and s brigantine (El Mogador, IS guns, 30 men, Captain Arrach Ibrahim Lubaces), which were to go from Larrache to Algiers, to be at the disposal of that Regency. e, e , To this piece of intelligence, the result of a mis sion with which an Algerine Envoy appeared at Mo rocco a short time before, is to he added the circus. stance, that the Moor who is charged to deliver up these ships (a certain Bertorbo who formerly settled as a merchant at Lisbon) has said, that a vessel freighted at Gibraltar would sail to Algiers, to con vey 10,000 cwt. of saltpetre, and 1000 cwt. Of cop per for the Mogador; sod that he himself wu coin. missioned to go from Algiers with a present from bis Sultan to T,nnis, and thence with another to Constantinople. _ These accounts must naturally excite the suspi: don that some alliance more or less extensive against the peace and prosperity of the European Powers, is forming among tEC Idahometani ; and Maks* has therefore commanded me to communicate the whole to you, that you may make your Government acquainted with it, whew sound policy will see from this, how necessary it is to have a strict watch opon the proceedings of these States, and to consider what will be the probable consequences of such alliances among barbarians who are irreconcileable enemies to all civilized nations, and are accustomed to consider piracy and treachery as legitimate sources of support and gain.—l embrace this opportunity, &c.

LET FER FROM THE RHINE, OCTOBER IL Fot the regulation of several important matters relative to the system of taxation, panicularly the land tax in the Rhenish Provinces and Westphalia, a conference of the highest Provincial Authorities has been ordered. It will take place in the course of this month at Godesberg, near Bonn ; and the Minister of State Von Ingerslaben, and the High President Baron Vineke, and the Count of Solms Laubach will be there. The Government's of Cleves, Dusseldorf, Munster, Minden, Arnsberg, Cologne, Coblenz, 'Peeves, &c. will each send a Member to the consultations ot the Committee. The wind having come round to the South West on Saturday afternoon, and having con:inued in that direction ever since, the homeward bound skips, of which a great number were beating off the land, are now happily crowding into port By some of those arrived we have received New York Papers to the 22d ult. and Boston Papers to the 26th tit.—The Hon. WARD CHIPMAN, one of the British Commissioners for adjusting the boundaries arrived at Boston on the 19th September, in the sloop Duke of Wellington, from St. John's. The Baton Patriot, of the 13th of September, men tions the receipt of a letter from New Orleans, an nouncing that the Marquis Ds MONCADA, one of the most influential characters in Mexico, has placed himself at the head of Ten Thousand Republicans.— General Mina is going on pretty well in Santander. BOSTON. SEPTEMBER is. Captain Taylor, arrived at New York in 28 days from Tobago, informs that a Spanish schooner, with 150 passengers; had arrived there from Augustura, where the Royalists had been completely defeated. There were eighteen sail of vessels in the port at the time, on board of which the Royalists emb-irked.— On leaving the port the Patriots directed their guns against the fleet, and did ennsiderable damage. Six sail of the above fleet had arrived at Tobago. The Bdsimore Fede►al Gement of last Friday states, on the authority of private and authentic accounts from Amelia, that General McGregor has consented that all Spanish prises, captured by the Patriotic privateers and sent into Amelia, shall be condemned there for the use of the captors.—lt was very un healthy at Amelia Island; many officers had died. By the Enterprise, Captain Frater, arrived at this port yesterday, in eleven days from Halifax, we learn, that by a decision of the Admiralty Court at that place, on the 9.9 th of Amin last, the twenty sail of American fishing vessels carried into Halifax on the 17th of June, by his Majesty's skip Dee, Captain Chambers, are to be restored to the claimants. SEPTENUR Z.—Captain Fisher, who left Cape Henry (Hayti) on the 14th ult. assures us, that the Congress frigate was well received at that place, and every civility and attention shewn Mr. Tyler and the officers of the ship, that the Authorities at the Cape could possibly bestow. The cause that prevented an esehange of salutes was, that the Governor at the Cape could nit order it without permission from the Prince, who was at that time absent from Sans Souci. The frigate was allowed to take large supplies of re• freshmeots without any of the ordinary charges of duty, &c. required of merchant ships. Capt. Fibber believes that the certificate of appointment by the American Government, presented sb the interpreter at the Cape by Mr. Tyler, directed him to Cape Fran. cols, St. Domingo, which prevented any further pro. gaps in the mission.
