By subsequent accounts it aprears that they had proceeded so far in the organization of their scheme as to appoint I gds and ladies, in futurol The number lodged in the Moro is thirty, seven of them females. The police of Havannah, if it ever h a d a poliee,is said to be now very vigilant. Bravoes and robbers, the common and ancient pest of that city, are now to be hunted down: one of them was shot in the streets. We wish success to this new order of things. Personal security has never been the peculiar blessing of the inhabitants of Havannah. (From the Philwielphin Aurora.) SOUTH AMEItICA. The present state of South America merits the particular attention of the American merchant, agri culturist, and manufacturer. A field so vast, and so abundant in all that can invite the exchanges and the intercourse of mankind, was never before opened to human opportunity, and to none are those oppor tunities of so much consideration as to the people of the United States, Independent of Mexico, which cannot long remain in its present distracted state, the population between the Mexican gulf and the southern bound s of civilization, amounts to nearly 12 millions of' people, who produce and consume. Mexico exceeds six millions of the same description. There is no production, nor is there any climate, which is not comprehended within the space that we have here noted; for the elevation of that vast range of continent places it above the influence of that heat which. in the same latitudes of Africa and Asia, is uneongenial with wholesome temperoture. The establishment of the popular reprensentative system in Columlda decides the east of government fir all America. The central position os that repub lic, its rit lies, its numerous sea-ports, its mere various products, its internal navigation, communicating with both seas, and open to North-East America and Europe, and North-West America and Asia, Peru and Chili will follow the republican regime ; La Plata and Mexico will, from a necessity that is too obvious to be mistaken, soon fhllow in the same track. The vessel strark on Monday evening, on the Kentish K•iock. The fir.t thing she 10.1 was her rudder. The oli.eressing situation of her crew doting the night passes deseriptioa ; all autil• Wei e rot at the pomp, hut the water increased upon them, and every moment they tt peeled the ship to go to pieces. Captain o.4ilbie, un willing to (pit her till the 14,1 tentlielit of hope was ea lianated, prevailed ou his men to euntitine their exertions, and it Was net till the “Peitionn of Ciitistmas day that • they resolved to ahasoilon her, and endeavour foveae their loves. They then hoisted 0111 the long-boat; into all who could were taken, and the re , ' got upon a ;aft. After the union innate I, number, hid thus left the ship. tie captain imagined that lie stoma hope of saving part oilier cargo, by wailing tit !be moil• . jog; and, actuated by au ardent d es ir e to !multiple the hitt.' eats of his empioyeis, ant reluctant to a tri minis lois post, unfortunately pet suatied the ciew again to riourn to scene from which 50 hew were ever to esea v e. They did so, and lashed the boat and raft to the ship.

When every hope of saving any pall of the effects was lost, and cvrty moment added to their dancer, the captain gave wilco. to neck safely in the host. Be fore, however, the unavoidable prep4rations airs. cent. ',lured, a niu•t violent sea broke upon them, and shivered' the boat into pieces.

BERLIN, Dec 15.—A half-official paper asserts, that here is no foundation whatever for the report which has been spread, that, in case of war between Russia and Turkey. Prussia is to furnish au auxiliary corps of 30,000 men, or subsidies in the room of it. FRANKFORT, DEC. 14.—The last letters from Vienna are less pacific than the preceding. The general opinion at Vienna is stated to be, that war is inevitable, though some time may still be spent in negociations. The positions of the Russian corps stationed on the frontiers towards Turkey are such, that they naturally induce u belief of war. A letter received from Poland states, that the Russian troops are con• centrated within so narrow a compass, that they cannot remain many weeks in the same position ; they must either advance or retrograde. it is :armed that the King of Bavaria will make en importynt cornmenication to the two Chambers, on the epening of their session in the month of Ja nuary. It is supposed to relate to new political connexions between Bavaria and Austria. Ifausssas, DEC. 19 —The accounts from the sea coast give the most afflicting details of the disastes caused by the tempest which continued with so much siolence fir several days on the coast of the Nether lands. Some vessels have escaped with the loss of their anchors, cables, sails, and cargoes; others have been greatly damaged in the foil, and others have totally perished. Amu.% others, a brig and a twit* loaded with wheat, have been fiamdered off Wan gull; and Borkum, and only 'women of the crew of the-last saved themselves. Another brig and a 101 l perished near Schiermonikoms and a third brig near the island of Amc!and. seven or eight damaged vessels have been driven on the coast of Delfzyl. A Russian s hip of w a r is stranded near the Vriesehe Gat; she has, however, been brought to Zatukamp, but with the loss of all her masts. The Caraingena, Captain G. Kind, bound from Porto Rico to Amster dum, has perished on the Searhorn. A bottle has been found on the sand near Boston, containing 'Ater from this captain, data the Ist of December, from which it seams that he endeavoured to save himself; with his crew, in the long-boat, but in vain. He writes, that during nine days that the storm continued, he had been three times on the coast of Holland, without being able to obtain a coasting pilot: that at last, on the SOth of November, after having Inst the best part of his sails, he arrived in sight of Heligoland, hoping to get into the Elbe the next day, and :o procure a pilot, but that the storm having driven him off again (luring the night, he gave up himself and the crew for lost, and that in these circumstances he wrote this letter, that those persons who were interested might be informed of his fare. Lastly, accounts from Heligoland of the '.:.r,"th of November say, that two sloops and two other vessels bad succeeded in towing in a three toasted vessel which was drifting with the current, and full of water ; it had Swedish colours, and was laden with timber. It is supposed to be the Provi dence, uml that the crew escaped on bard Another vessel near Zanderland, where she fast stranded. I AMEBIC/EN P.ll'l3lS. CIIIMILESTOWN, Nov. :M.—Faux HATANNAH -- On the 1 Itli inst. a Spanish line-of battle ship arrived from Vera Cruz, in 29 days, with specie. He brought the Vice King, Aptidaea, of Mexico, who, 111,1as:dog the Al,,rd Castle, refused to salute: lie likewise told the officers ut the Goveroor, who went on board for news, that he bad no news tor them, and would give them no satisfaction, but treattd them very impoli:cly : he ii etabarked the day hiPowing, anil went to Gauagalsicol, where he stll remains, without having visited Havanna!). Yesterday a:lived a corvettel,•om the saline place, with anotha Vice King, Novella, the suecessor ui Apolica, by which we learn, that the city at Vera Cruz is ut present completely independent. In the Castello (a fort in the bay) there are übuat 100 sol • tilers, and about two mouths' supi lies, after whim) it mutt inetititlily be glirOu up. Y The American merch•unt should look about him in time: it is in the new world he is to find the means of commerce, which can either command or render him independent of the policy or envy of the old. It is in South America that Nalh America will find the permanent mart for her products of in• dustry and art—fire the employwent of her seamen. The South Americans will not maintain any naval establishment : having within themselves the means of subsisting in abuml nice and ease, they will be an exporting - people; they will indeed receive from other nations whatever may be brought ; but it is in nations where the climate is not prolific, that commercial enterprise is necesary. The same inn tive for enterprise does not exist at BAgota, Mexico, or Linta, for adventuring to the sea, that exists at London, or Amsterdam, or Boston, or New York which, like Athens, Rhodes, Carthage, Genoa, and Venice, had either a steril soil, or no soil ; or a cli mate locked up to vegetation half the year: in South America it is perpetual summer. The South Ame ricans will not exactly imitate the Chinese, but they will in some measure—they will hold intercourse with all nations who shall behave themselves well; but they will avoid entangling alliances, and the perpetual festering disease of diplomacy—they have the keys of universal commerce in their hands—and the United States will find in their ports that em ployment which will mike the commerce of all the rest of the world an inferior consideration. LOSS OF THE JULIANA EAST INDIAMAN. The .111 flans (rumor, ship), Copt. Ogilvie, left Bengal the latter end of July, and had a fair rim to the Downs, at whorl) place she pot her mad bags ashore on the 21st ; short time After, Mrs. Ojilsie, the wife of the e 4 1 , - i.tisiosms landed. The shin hr,,neht tip on Smithy in 114rizate Roods, but the weather loving very tempe , ttions, %he drove, and lust ony, if not two, anchors. A fishing boat spoke them, and promised to send off an anchor and 'rattle, whit It was duly performed; but, owing to the state ut the tide, this valuable assistance could not delimit before the evening, and their utmost exertions could not etbilile them to find theJaliatia. Extract from a letter dated October 247182 c" from Rio de Janeiro :—" The Morgiana, Capraiu Finlaison, has had her detained slaver, the Amelia schooner, with 315 slaves, belonging to Bahia, cs)d detained to her. The Murgiana has sailed to-day for Pernambuco. The squadron on this station, under Sir T.

B. which is here : these • ships are lying fear the protection of the British in terests at these respective places. Pernambuco is at present in rather an unsettled state. A Portuguese fiigate sailed hence last week, to take on board the governor, and conveyed him to Lisbon, to account thr his conduct befiire the Cortes. Prince Jim Ve das birth-day was celebrated hereon the 12. h inst. with very distinguished splendour—the a.OOl people of Rio like him very much. The English and French fired a royal salute on the occasion. The French squadron consisted of the Jean Bart, 81. ; Clorinde frigate, 50 guns ; Anliguc, 4ti guns. The Clorinde proceeds to Valparaiso us soon as refitted. Sir T. Hardy sailed front Valparaiso thr Li lia, at the latter end of July ; the Owen Gkwhwer was to remain until relieved by the Conway, when she ass to proceed to this place and England.
