By the arrival at Philadelphia, of the ship Caledonia, Captain Donaldson, from Canton, ae learn with regret the loss of the ship Ontario, Captain Depeyster, on her passage from New York to Canton, on a reef near the island of 1 imor. The Ontario put into Delhi on the 29th of December, and in coming out on the 21 of Ja nuary, ran on the above reef. .A.lettef Awn Captain Donaldson states the arrival at Soorabay, on the 23d of April, of Captain Depeyster, in the schooner Luci fer, from Delhi and A inhoyna, witlra part of the cargo of the Ontario, and accompanied by Messrs.

Sailed yesterday the Mercury, Nicholls, for Boston. Wind moderate. Towards midnight it commenced blowing fresh, and soon after increased to a very• heavy gale from the westward, which has increased up to l this evening, in consequence of which the Atlantic, Taylor, for New York, which sailed on Tuesday last, has put back. with two other vessels. Great fears are entertained for those which sailed yesterday, as they were heavy vessels (the Mercury, Wm. Dawson, and John and Thomas Baxter, for New Brunswick), and several smaller for Dublin and Newry ; one for the latter place had 200 passengers on board.

The farmers in the hilly districts of Wales have had more favourable weather to get in their harvest than lias been experiencedin most other parts of the country. On Wednesday last, Wright, the Bristol pedestrian, walked on a part of the Birmingham road leading out of Lichfield, 50 miles in 9 hours and 20 minutes, taking two hours and 40 minutes' rest.

A person died in Uiasgow on Sunday morning, pupposed, with the exception orhis father, to be the most extensive dealer in base coin in North Britain. Although he carried on this business for several years as wholesale merchant, he managed matters so that notwithstanding the utmost vigilance of the 016- eers he could never be fully convicted.

SRTT. 10.—Captain Skinner arrived yesterday afternoon from Angostura and Laguira, informs that the Patriots were besieging Porto Ca bello, and with good prospect of success. Captain H. carried the Chief Director of Angostura and se veral officers to Laguira on business. [LATIC FROM LIMA.] New YORK, Ace. 29.—A gentleman has arrived in town via Panama and Havannab, who left Lima on the 4th of June, at which time that place held out against the forces of San Martin and Lord Cochrane and possessed a force of 6,000 regular troops, and 14,000 militia, and the navy had been reinforced by the arrival of some Spanish ships of war. The new Vice Hoy was very popular, and there was no prospect of the immediate surrender of the place to the besiegers. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM lIALIFAX, X.S. AUG. 29. For many years almost every attempt made by the American Government, to check and to injure the trade of the British North American Provinces, has not only failed to effect the purpose intended ; but, in the event, has proved seri.'usly injurious to their own commerce and revenue. Such is the nature of the act now in force, by which their vessels bringing flour, grain, &c. under the British Free Port Regulations, are frequently compelled to return in ballast, instead of taking back valuable cargoes—which our own vessels are now em• ployed in carrying to the Canadian market. No less than four brigs and two large schooners, have been cleared at our Custom House for Quebec, within the Iset fortnight; and, allowing this course of trade to pay but little more than the amount of freight and commissions, still, as the returns may be expected to supersede the remittance of large sums in specie t o the United States, the advantage to be derived from it is great and obvious. Much, indeed, of the Wes India produce thus shipped, being taken np the St. Lawrence by means of the present extensive inland na vigation, will, doubtless, find its way into the Ame rican State ; and, ultimately, meet with a better mar ket than had it been sent in American vessels from hence to New York, &c. Tbis trade, thtrefore, as it bids fair to be of mu. tool advantage to the Colonies, so it should meet with mutual encouragement and support from the Provincial Legislatures, and from the inhabitant, whe ther immediately concerned in it or otherwise. Some ideas have been suggested in Quebec of the utility of Steam-boats to be thus employed. A Copy of the Report of the Surgeon of the French line of battle ship Le Colosse :—Since our depar ture from Martinique, 29th June, till our arrival at Havanna, 30th July, only one man died of Yellow- Fever, on the Ist of July. The 3d, 4th, sth and 6th of August, sixteen men were taken sick; on the sth, an officer died of apo plexy, nine hours after he was taken ill. The 7th and Bth we lost too men with Yellow Fever. The 10th, one man died, after ten days illness, of Putrid Fever, which presented no symptoms of Yellow Fever. The 13th an officer died of a Putrid billions Fever, the Bth day of his illness, without any symptoms of Yellow Fever. Since that date, we have had no dangerous sickness, except one man, who has recovereg from a Putrid Fever ; this is the 22d day of his Moles. The 20th, a boy died of consumption of the lungs, after eight months illness. Signed by the Surgeon in Chief, Le Het.Low. On board the Colosse, 74, Aug. 26,1821.

Paris papers to the 29th instant have reached us since our last. They contain very little intelligence re relative either, to Russia or Turkey that had not been anticipated.

'el ki Greeks say that the new Patriarch is but a Jew in din guise. On the Ist of September the Emperor of Re t . sia was at one of his palaces near Petenbargi, shewed no intention to leave. There Is no leery 1 any of the articles of the French papers theleast sym. tons of war.—The accounts from Spain are not devoid of interest. By an article horn Madrid, of the lid o ult., we learn that the English Ambassador had tau a complaint of an article in the French language, h i the Regulator, in which his Britannic Meise l was treated with insult ; and that a preens hal taken place thereon. The Jury of accusatioa, without having the article in question translates into Spanish, has declared that it contained le ground for prosecution. However, as the prem. tation of a legalised translation is strictly required by law, the Usicersal is of opinion that the question must be submitted to another Jury. The remit of as inquiry into the events of the night of the 20th sad 21st of August is, that D. Pablo Morino, Commas& ant-General of the province, did not draw his min against the people, but, on the contrary, bad Went the troop to march in front, in order to displvse the one& bly, without using their arms, whatever pravocatioedny might receive. In consequence, the Minister of War iss written a letter to the General, stating that it is the desire of his Niajeoty that he should resume his fun tions. The Captain-General of the National Army, D. Jose Palafox, made a moat honourable deposition in favour of General Morillo. Government receives daily petitions in favour of Omen! Riego. The from Valladolid is not very respectful to his Ma jesty. The petitioners call upon him to nige by himself, and constitutionally. If General Riego, say they, be guilty, of which we have the strongest doubt, let him be visited by the law ; if innocent, let him be restored to his command. The King is expected to return to Madrid on the 22d. General Arco Alms, Commander of the province of Extremadura, endow of the Chiefs of the Revolution. has lately ins killed whilst hunting, by a fall from hie horse.— The yellow fever continues to rage most dreadfully in the Eastern parts of Spain, and at Earn-lola the mortality is described as horrible. Ecolesiudes no longer attend the victims to the grave. The fatal cart passes twice a day through all thestmeto, and receives the remains of the dead: It apple that the fever does not list long ; three hours ate sufficient to carry of the person infected. Thantetary General of • the civil administration died itt that Art space of time. The position of 50 or 60,000isha blunts who have qui:ted the city is most cruel; re pelled from every place where they claim hospitality, it is to be feared that they should seek for relief in despair. The only articles in the French papers relative to his Britannic Majesty's visit to the Conduit are the following :— BERLIN, SEPT. 13.—The troops which have bees concentrated near our city since the end , of lastasouth will return without delay to their ordinary garrison. Many persons suppose that the King of England will come and spend a week in this capital. We have good reason to doubt the truth of this news. A colder, whom Count Munster, first Hanoverian Minister sad Secretary of State for Hanoverian Affairs to the Kiag of England, has sent here, has given rise to yarns speculations. The only thing certain is, that them will be a meeting on the frontiers between the en Sovereigns.
