124 CHARLESTON P. 'ERS. The brig tlcrsilia, bound to Connecticut, was taken in Chili, by the Spaniards, discharged, and the vessel fitted out on a cruizc ; the Captain and crew confined ut Orico, from whence two of the mutes and several of the crew have made their es cape, leaving the Captain and remainder of the crew in prison, We learn by Capt. Sheffield, from Valparaiso, the Hcrsilia had been lost by the Spa niard:. Ile also brings accounts of the massacre, by the Spaniards, of Captain Russell, late of the brig hero, atter being in prison some time. The CondeMaium, an English frigate, had been to Orico, and had endeavoured to decoy some Spaniards on board, and detain teem 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 :— •• PORT AU PRINCE, FIA.2. " We arrived here last night from a cruise, with the intention of getting some refreshments, and procesl,l 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 du nut hear of any pira cies now, and therefore it is bard to hind any more of tint e characteri. " I was amused yesterday evening, 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 sota, in an apartment ornamented with con siderable taste. He rose when I entered, and re ceived me with politeness, neither foppish nor stiff, hut very much a man of the world, and a gentle man. After settling my business with hint, I entered into a conversation on the subject of Presi dent foyer's expedition to take possession of the city of St. Domingo. He. expatiated quite like a num of incormati—t on the subject, and we ate led to general politit.al discussions, which were handled Nvith ease by the sable statesman. . . • 1 If the whole of the island should come under the laws of the republic, there will be a great extent ef country, which would be improved in value by emigration ; 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 island. There must be something done with them, and I look upon this island us the place where a number of them must emigrate to. Those of the United States who are here st present, I under stand, are making out well. Thero seems, how. ever, to be an aversion to cultivation among them, which lets one half of the island be uncultivated.' COURSE OF EXI Amsterdam, 12 6 C. F.

THE NATIONAL REGISTER. lonbon : SUNDAY, APRIL v. --0.--- A Committee to examine the method of keeping the public accounts was moved for 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 therefore little good can or ought to be expected from a Commit tee in which, being nominated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, he has doubtless taken care to secure a majority in favour of the views of himself and his colleagues—nevertheless good may arise from an ex- position of those evils, the removal of which is pre vented by the interposition of those who derive emo lument and influence by their continuance. His Majesty will certainly go to the Continent this summer, and will visit Cologn, Bonn, Cob lentz, there cross the Rhine to inspect the almost impregnable fortress of Ehrenbreitstein, Jouannis burg, the seat of Prince 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), Ludwigsburgh, Stutgard (where with the Queen Dowager of Wurtemburg, late Princess Royal of England, he will remain some time, not having seen her since 6lic left her home); from thence to Ulm, cross the Danube, and p iss through Augsburg to Munich, afterwards over the plain of Huhenlinden to Passau, or go at once to Regensburg, to visit the father of the Princess Esterhazy, and there embark on the " Dark rolling Danube" fur Vienna. It is said his Majesty has expressed a wish to stop at the fine city of Lentz, also at the noble Convent at Molk, of which a cor rect description is given by Dibdin in his Biogra. phical and Picturesque Tour; also to inspect the fine ruin in which the lion hearted Richatd 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 la! oa a scale of uncommon magnificence ; all the petty Princes and inferior Kings in Germany will assist at these banquets. His Majesty has promised to visit the Principality of Esterhazy, in Hungary, and return by way of Prague, Toplitz, and Dres den. Should the state of the road permit, he ‘vi:l 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 following arc extracts:- PARIS, Aram 16.—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. I t 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 B,:fort, between the young recruits and the soldiers of the garrison. These accounts require confirmation, the more as they have not been mentioned in any j:urnal. To-day, at four o'clock, the English journal, the Morning Chronicle, was seized in all the public places of this city. No. 12 of this liberal journal contains, it is said, a revolutionary song, in French, addressed to the soldiers who form the cordon if health at the foot of the Pyrenees. Tt is to be pre sumed that the French Ambassador at London wit have maintained on this occasion the honour of 1113 Government in a manner worthy of his noble cha racter. Hamburgh papers to the 12thi 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, itnil several articles of steel.—The import duty on other articles, for instance wins s, 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 fortign countries, is evidently founded in principle on former non-important decrees of Buonaparle• Tl:e accounts from Russia in the Hamburgh papers have is general been amicipated by the Paris journals.-- They are still warlike, but are not supported by any satisfactory authority. They ►well the Russian forces to an overwhelming size on the Pruth, as they are stated at 20,000 dragoons, and a park of 500 pieces of cannon, besides a second army in Podolia. --We do not believe that Russia bus the finances to put half the number in motion. A writer in the Philadelphia Advertiser recom mends the membrane or inner skin of the common hen's egg to be applied to recent contusions or bruises on the face of children, who are perpetually liable to them from falls, running against furniture, &c. If allowed to remain on a few hours, it will restore the part to a healthy state, preventing the extravasation of blood, which otherwise will remain unsightly tar a long time. 1W THE RATIONAL REGISTER lAWI VrYivrstnsnen.
