It, then, he has &handed tl.e public, it is pleasing to think, that he has tae somas of making restitu tion. We gave, yesterday, in a Second Edition of THE PRESS, a letter from Falmouth, stating that Lord Cott.tsowoon had warned all British vessels, within his range, of the recapture cf Buenos Ayres. His Lordship's intelligence was colltaed from a Spanish schooner taken by the Beagle ; and Go vernment having reason to doubt its authenticity, as well as that of the other reports upon the subjen, transmitted, on Sunday night, to the I.oaD MA oa, the following Bulletin, containing all the informa tion which they had received of the alleged re capture, aad which his Lordship communicated to the City yesterday MY LORD—I have the honour to trauma to your L0r.!.... , an Extract of a Letter receivel, this morning, from >r,' ~nlimp►oud, and al>o au Extact of a letter from Capt. from Portsmouth, describing the Information (hen to bins by the Matto of the Spanish schooner, El Cupid°, cap tured by the Colpoys schooler, on the 27th ult.

The New York Papers also contain a report of the re-capture, which is said to have taken place n• 1 the Bth of August; hilt, from the whole of the we may entertain kopea that the colony is StaU in our possession. We received, yesterdry, a series of New York Papers, from the 13th, the date of our last set, to the 2 1 )*h of December, t .clusive.—Ttu l contain the prrc;e•dings of Congress to the :21h, at which time the Bit for sagpen ling the British Merchandise Non-Importation Aft, had been re-committed in the Senate, and ordered to be minted, with a clause, previously aT.reed to, vesting the PRESIDENT with a discretionary power to suspend the Aft for such further time, after the Ist June, as the public interest may require. There has been no other subjel of any interest introduced or agi tated in Congress since its opening. The House of Representatives was occupied several days in de bating, whether it should not adj ,, urn until the ceiling should be repaired, one of the Members having asserted, that the plaister was loose, and that a piece of it had fallen upon his head.-- Finaikial Report, signed by Mr. GALLZTIN, se_lt• try to the Treasury, an article corresponding vrim our Budget, alluded to in the Peestoent's sp:cal, is given at length in these Papers, but it is of too great event far insertion this day. A paragraph in one of the New York Tapers states. that the Empire of Hayti ic to asinine a re publican fortis, of pear& liberty and equality. The cruse, Capt. Noma, belonging to Hatton, passed Dover on the 17th. She left Ito -:iefort on the 14th. Cwt. Nome says, that before he sailed, intelligence was said to be received that the French had obtained a viaory over the Russians. but from tl,e manner in which the report was circulated. and there ►eing no public rejnicings, he is inclined to Iwlitve, as were a great many people in Rochefurt, that it an anion had been fought. the Fteecb ►ad nor she ad eftntagr. The Pas-.is laisaieth packet, which arrived on nerds'', a. Falmouth. from Malta, brings no sews from Sicily. We have, however, received by it :ewers and papers from Gibraltar, to the 31st Dec. Durieg the three last days of teat month, the Spa nish glin boats and cruisers were uncommonly ac tive, acid car tied every vessel that came in their way into Algesnae. This condutl is attributed to Bo! AAAAA a's orr.:er for the blockade of England.— The winter rains had net set in at Gibraltar when the packet left tiiat place. An Evening Paper, ni 'ester lay, pinning its faith upon the sleeve of a Suniay Print. states, that Bills for t'lool. dated the 13th or Oetober, have Made their appearance at the Vidualling drawn for wine, spirits. pork, and otiier pin visions, furnished for the supply of His MA. Jur v's slops and vessels in Cie river Plata. We have authority to stare, that there is no foun dation for this stater:tent. The latest biiis from south America, which have made their appearance at the Vidualling Odice, are dated Rio Janeiro, the • 3‘.1 of September, and for rums very tar short of the above amount. They are drawn, we believe, for supplies tot the /4**,0E64. I - .1141rN u. ELOPEMLNTS. Mr. Gill, of Sherhorne, set off on a matrimonial expedition with Miss Wadman, not the Widow IV,dmion, of the same place, on Wednesday last.— l'hey were pursued by the lady's guardian, in a pnet•chaise and four, as far as Weymouth, but the fugitives had sailed. To continue the pursuit in his own equipage, was impraelicable ; to solicit the loan of old Neptune's pearly car, and splaw-footed horses, would have been a forlorn hope, as the dei ties, watery as well as windy, seemed to he in a league with the lovers. He contented himself, there fore, with a distant view of the vessel that conveyed them to Guernsey, as she danced over the obedient waves, almost Inst in the blue 2ther, her sails filled by propit;otts breeze:. An event which, to the credit of Hall, is of a kind that has rarely been witnessed here, took place last week. A merchant of this place, in gond busii , ess, eloped with a laJy of near thirty years of age, leav ing a wife and three children behind him. The fu gitives,have not yet been heard of ; it is supposed they have gene either tor Buenos Ayres or North America.—(Hili Adrerhaer.)

Among the Novelties of yesterday, none was more conspicuous than the Procession of the car riages and men employed by the Contraaor of the present State Lottery, who evinced his loyalty, on the occasion, f.ir surpassing any thing we have hitherto seen. The order of the City ticasle may not be uninteresting to our Readers, which was nearly as follows : Two Marshal-Men. Tr u nyets. k 4 Four Men with Barmen : The Inscription, " Larg lire wir ainiable Queen : mar the exertions of "?' her August Consort restore Freedom to Europe." A LOTTERY CAR : Frnbellished with the numerous Prizes undrawn. Two Bugles. Four Men a ith Banners; pointing out the nearest way to Wealth. A LOTTERY CAR a; before. Two Bigler.

This Procession was conducted with the greatest propriety ; and to those who have not yet made their purtnases in the Lottery, must have been an inviting scene, as it pointed out the impossibility of obtaining Fortoke', iavours without an early and expedition. p‘trellae, AS the next Day of Drawing will be on Tilt/ !l:•D A v, 22J January, lso7.
