The report which was current last weak, of Go- Foment having ordered a fleet of men of war to be t ready for sea, was, we now find, not so unfound as it was pretnatare. On Sunday orders were eived by the respective Officers of the Dock-yard Plymouth to prepare all the sails for six sail of the sad to make the other neeeuary arrangements to ordnance. It is also a fact, that Government' re within these few days been, making very-consi. table contracts !Or provisions. With,r4ipect to the pb,ible destination of any such anvil force, we cos yet add nothing, either in support or correction of rumours already afloat on the subject. Very, ibly Government may have nothing more In coo.' ylition than to put itself is a state of s readiaess any emergency that may arise out of the present desiedly troubled aspect of the political hemisphere. to. ing ieJ The account which we gave yesterday on the an• eity of the Bevan raiders, of the successful result oar operations is India, down to the end of May, sou felly confirmed by the receipt of Madras Ga• ties to the 27th of May, from which we have given *as extracts it oar preceding columns. It sp ars from these, that the rumour of a general Mah ua ►War having been undertaken, is in a great tnsa• to unfounded. A number of affairs, of no great diriklual importance, are mentioned to havo.taken tce with the Pindareei, in most of which our troops wined a severe vengeance on these restless marau rs, but so far wete the Mahratta Chiefs from being in rate to join in any general scheme of hostility against 6 that HOLKAR, the worst disposed of them all, was :acted by a mutiny of his own troops, and Mean AN was occupied with preparations for an invasion Jyepoor. The insurrection in Cuttack turns also Cu• I~•d~ is Itti, l oar ,vb• to have been altogether of an insulated nature.l Lad for its object to restore the sovereignty of the ye Rajah, who, on the annesatsop of this district , the British possessions, in 1808, was deprived of sovereign functions, but continued in his sacred e as High Priest of the celebrated Temple oflsg "ln- JeGBUNDOO, the leader of the insurrection, been Prime Minister under the Ex-Rajah. The to he had gathered together was considerable, but so strong a body of troops had been detached from. the neighbourhood of Calcutta against him, that con fident hopes were entertained that in a few days he would be completely reduced. It was even reported that he had already fled beyond the frontiers. Oo the whole not a shadow of apprehension was enter- , taiued in India, that the final issue of the Governor General's operations against whatever enemy he might have to oppose. would be the perfect vindication of the Company's supremacy. And so satisfactory have these accounts been considered here, that India Stock has already sensibly recovered from the depression which it suffered under the first vague reports of these hostilities. We are this day enabled to continue our account of the operations of the Patriots in South America against their oppressors. From the Bulletin of the' Eutern Army of Venezuela, given in another co lumn, it appear; that no sooner had General MARINO learnt the murderous intention of MORILLO, the Spa- nish Goma), to exterminate the inhabitants of Mar- garita, than, with the •iew of compelling him to Divide his forces, be instantly planned and executed an expedition against Ciriaco. The issue was favour. able to the Independents, bat, unfortunately, General MARINO was wounded in the left hand by a musket ball ; and, being short of ammunition, the Indepen- dent force, thou gb victorious, was obliged afterwards to march to CumanacoA, to get a supply. The ferocity with which the Royalists carry on the war is not only revolting to humanity, but must ulti mately ruin all their own hopes, and bring destruc- Lion upon their adherents. A letter now before us from Trinidad, dated the Si of September, says— " Our neighbours on the Main continue to destroy one another. A party of Royalists entered Guiria (in our Gulph) a few days since, and put to the sword all they found in the town; or, perhaps, more properly speaking, butchered all with the knife ! Humanity shudders at such a horrid and disastrous system, which can only tend to retaliation by the opposite party, and to render the hopes of the Roya• lists more uncertain." The American Papers contain various details re specting South America, but the following are the only particulars that present any additional novelty.— A Spanish corvette is stated to have grounded on Aragua point, and the inhabitants of Margarita were actively employed in getting ber afloat as an acquisi tion to their navy. This, however, may prove to be one of the four which the Spaniards lost when com polled to evacuate Margarita.—One of the New York Papers states that General M , Gaitotoa, having been disappointed in receiving fresh aid from his friends at Baltimore, has. resigned his command to Colonel Earn', at least for a time ; and as the followers of M‘Gazoott were expected to be attacked by the Spa-, nigh Governor, a Council of Officers was to be held, to consider the policy of risking a battle. M'Qusoa' and his wife left Amelia Island in a brig, which sailed on the sth of September. Great discontent prevailed on the island- The Spanish Officer who had taken Barcelona, and put every one of its inhabitants to the sword, has been lately beaten by General Zat►sa, who besides sur prised a Spanish garrison of 250 men in the town of San Diego. Emigration to America from Ireland, and still mete from Germany, continues. The American Pa pers naturally enough defend the policy of the emi gration. The fact at least is not to be doubted, that there never was known such an influx of strangers as daily takes place into America. _ . Fever at Charlestown continues, and fresh irimendanary measures were taken.

The Spanish Minister at Washington continues to make representations to the Americas Government respecting the piratical misers fitted out in the American pats; and_the PRIMDINT, it is said, doss all he can to prevent the continuance of such pro- ceedings, but for want of proper proof the pirates generally contrive to elude punishment. The Spanish Consulate, in reference to the practice. insinuates that the officers in America employed to watch over the conduct of the privateers secretly favour their views. The accounts of the trade in the United States in English manufactpres are very good ; sales of ManH shams cotton goods were making at a very handsome profit. The crops of all descriptions of grain were abundant. Flour was at nine dollars the barrel; but the cotton crops bad suffered so much from the land Hoods, that it was certain not a third of an average crop would be raised.

Advice: also reached town yesterday from the Bra-1 ails, to the Sd of August, from which, if correct, the important intelligence t derived,' that the Brazilian Government had sent off orders for the evacuation of, Monte Video by the Portuguese troops. It•would; teem, therefore, either that the difficulties gimping possession of the place, or the remonstrances of the Allied Powers, have had the effect of compelling the Portuguese Government to this act. From the river Plate we have actomus to the 47th of July. They furnish little news, except that a ves sel was arrived there which had met, near the Line, a Spanish frigate, with six transports lull of troops, bound to Lima. MORE AMERICAN PAPERS. Since making the foregoing extracts, we have re. ceived additional files of Newspapers—from Balti more to the sth instant, Bolton to the 6th, PhiWel. phia to the 6th, and New Yurk to the SI instant.-- The tollowing are extracts: " FERNANDINA. Sept. r 9, 1817. " On Saturday, the 13th inst. there was A formi dable attack on this place, from the water, by two gun-boats, and by land by a considerable land force, with four brass field-pieces. Tile enemy were gal lantly repulsed by the Patriots--two were killed and several wounded—no injury was sustained by the Patriots—three or tour balk struck the town, but without doing much damage. The Spanish krce continue oa the Wand, but we do not apprehend another attack. Commodore Aury arrived here two days ago with two prizes, a very fine ship, and a brig loaded with sugar, coffee, and tobacco. The Com modore, it appears, has brought us a Governor, and all the necessary Officers for establishing a Civil Go vernment $ but the place being preoccupied, the result of his visit is not yet ascertained.

SEPT. 20. og The result of the action on the 13th was, that about twelve o'clock that night the Spanish gun boats went back to the Narrows, with one man killed, and the troops returned to Harrison., with two killed—the whole force about 400, but some of the Patriots and some of the Spanish party tell me only about forty were engaget with two brass pieces ; on M•Clurishill firing on the town, and on the San Josef, the Commandant made the others remain be- Iliad the hill. Neither party came within musket shot—no person hurt on the Patriot side. I presuine no further attempt will he made, and that the Pa triots will remain in possession of Amelia.
