.r• • 1 lt4 ' CIARLESTON PAPE, The brig Hirailia, buand to Connecticut, was taken in Chili, by the Spaniards, discharged, and the vessel fitted out on a cruize ; the Captain and rew confined at Orico, from whence two of the mates and several of the crew have made their es cape, leaving the Captain and remainder of the crew in prison, We learn by Capt. Shelfie;d, from Valparaiso, the Hersilia had been lost by the Spa niards. He also brings accounts of the massacre, by the Spaniards, of Captain Russell, late of the brig Hero, alter being in prison some time. The Constellation, an English frigate, bad been to Orico, and had endeavoured to decoy some Spaniards on board, and detain them on board as hostages for the safety of the Americans and English who were pri soners, but did not succeed. Extract of a letter from a gentleman on board the United States brig Enterprise, cruising in the West Indies, to his friend in Philadelphia:— •• iVILT AU PRINCE, Fsa.2. 1522. " We arrived here last night from a cruize, with the intention of getting some refreshments, and proceed to sea again to night. Our destination I do not know, but 1 presume it will be where we are likely to be of service. We do not hear of any pira sies now, and therefore it is hard to find any more of tho.:e characters. I was amused yesterday evenirg, on going on on shore, to wait upon the commandant of the town, to inform him we should fire a salute. I was ushered into his pres,nce, where I found him reclining on a rich rota, in an apartment ornamented with eon aiderable taste. He rose when I entered, and re ceived tue with politeness, neither foppish nor stiff, but very much a man of the world, and a gentle man. After settling my business with him. I entered into a conversation on the subject of Presi dent Boyta's expedition to take l ossession of the city of St. Domingo. He expatiated quite like a man of information on the subject, and we ate led to general political discussions, which were handled with ease by the sable statesman. " If the whole of the island should come under the laws of the republic, there will be a great extent of country, which would be improved in value by cangration ; and would to heaven `some plan could be adopted by which the distressed surplus black population of our country could be induced to settle in this isLoal. There must be something done with theat, and I look upon this island as the place where oumber of them must emigrate to. Those of the United States who arc here at present, I under stand, are making out well. Thero seems, how ever, to be an aversion to cultivation among them, which lets ouc halt of the island be uncultivated.' uu.lilL.

A Committee to examine the method of keeping the public accounts was moved fur on Thursday evening, and being granted was nominated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer.—On no subject is enquiry more needed—on none reform more wanted ; but we arc not sanguine as to the result of the labours of the Committee in question—the very aim of Ministers all along has been to mystify, because an absence of perspicuity threw obstacles in the way of those who wished to detect impositions, and theretioe little good can or ought to be expected from a Commit tee in which, being nominated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, be has doubtless taken care to secure a majority in favour of the views of himself and his colleagues—nevertheless good may ariae from an ex poaition Of Sose evils, the removal of which is pre vented by the in;erposi►ion of those who derive emo lument and influence by their continut.oce. His Majesty will certainly go to the Continent this summer, and will visit Colot,m, Bonn, Cob lentz, there cross the Rhine to inspect the almost impregnable fortress of Eltrenbreitstein, Jouannis burg, the seat of I'rince Metternich, Wiesbaden, Frankfurt (and in that neighbourhood continue a day or two with his sister the Princess of Hesse Homburg), Darmstadt, Manheim, Heidelburg (to see the great tun), Ludwigsburgli, Stutgard (where with the Queen Dowager of Wurtcmburg, late I'rincess Royal of England, he will remain some time, not having seen her since she left her home); from thence to Ulm, cross the Danube, and piss through Augsburg to Munich, afterwards over the plain of Holtenlinden to l'assau, or go at once to Regensburg, to visit the father of the Princess Esterhazy, and there embark on the " Dark rolling Danube" for Vienna. It is said his Majesty has expressed a wish to stop at the fine city of Lentz, also at the noble Convent at Moll:, of which a cor rect description is given by Dibdin in his Biogra phical and Picturesque 'four ; also to inspect the fine ruin in which the. lion hearted Itichattl was confined. The Marquess of Hastings, who is on his return from his government in India, has been ap pointed ambassador to Austria; he does not come here, but is expected to meet the King of England at Vienna. The sports and pastimes in preparation by the Emperor of Austria. are reported to be on a scale of uncommon tibgnificence ; all the petty Princes and inferior Kings in Germany will assist at these banquets. His Majesty has promised to visit the Principality of Esterhuzy, in Hungary, and return by way of Prague, Toplitz, and Dres den. Should the state of the road permit, he will go from thence to Berlin, and take Hanover on his way home. Paris is included in the tour, but in what stage of it is not yet determined. The Paris papers of Wednesday last have arrived, the foilowing arc extracts : PARIi, APRIL i 6.—A report has spread that dis orders have broken out at Nanci,in which a regiment of cavalry and a regiment of infantry garrisoned there took part on different sides. It does not, how ever, appear that politics was the cause. We shall hereafter give the details which may reach us on this subject. Statements have been for some days in circulation respecting the quarrels whi , :h took place at Befort, between the young recruits and the soldiers of the garrison. These accounts require confirmation, the -- more as they have not been mentioned in any journal. To-day, at four o'clock, the English journal, the Morning Chronicle, was seized in all the public places of this city. Nu. 12 of this liberal journal contains, it is said, a revolutionary song, in French, addressed to the soldiers who form the cordon of health at the foot of the Pyrenees. Tt is to be pre sumed that the French Ambassador at London will have maintained on this occasion the honour of his Government in a manner worthy of his noble cha racter. Hamburgh papers to tl:c 12th inst have arrived. They contain the snpplement to the Russian tariff, which is not to be in operation till the first of May, (0.5.) and all mercantile transactions previous to that period are to be regulated by the present tariff. According to the new supplement the following articles are to be prohibited :—All white, green, and black cloths, refined sugar and lumps, silk manufac tures, jewellery, and several articles of steel.—The import duty on other articles, for instance, wines, will be raised probably 30 per cent. The tenor of the supplement, if correctly described, will be inju rious to our woollen and other manufactures ; but the commercial policy of Russia and other foreign countries, is evidently fbunded in principle on the former non-importunt decrees of Buonaparte• The accounts from Russia in the Hamburgh papers have general been anticipated by the Paris journals.— They are still warlike , but are not supported by any satisfactory authority. They swell the Russian forces to an overwhelming size on the l'ruth, as they, are stated at 20,000 dragoons, and a park of AO pieces of cannon, besides a second army in Podolia. do not believe that Rus.sia has the finances to lut half the number in motion. There is no trutliwhateC,er in the report that Quiroga and Ricgo bad been assassinated at Madrid. It has arisen out of a clumsy fabrication got up in Paris, which contained the very extraordinary addi tion, that, in consequence of that catastrophe, the popalace of Madrid has risen, and put to death, not only the whole of the royal family, but the members of the Cortes, not one of whom survived the fury of the multitude. The date assigned for the alarming event at Madrid was the 30th ult. FLul there been the smallest foundation for it, we should have known it some time ago, as intelligence is frequently con veyed by expres4 from Madrid to Loudon in seven days.
