JULY 29, 1818. enclose you an account of the manner of the death of Lieutenants Harris and Watson, of the navy, who left Ibis lately, with a black boy, ins boat bound to Angostura.— The boat belonged to Lieut. Watson, and with only the buy in question they proceeded along the south side of this and had entered the Mscaree Creek (one of the mouths of the Orinoco), when they were taken by a Spanish armed canoe, and pat In death, as stated in the copy of an affidavit, made here before an Aleut& de Barrio. It was at Arm reported that they were killed defending themselves, and 'her killing four and wounding three of their as sailants; but it now appears ail three individuals were not rash enough to oppose twenty or thirty, bat submitted, not couceivltag, of course, that worse would follow for breaking the blockade, than the loss of their boat and what goods they aught have on board. - - - - - Lieut. Muria had newer been employed in the service of Year ambi t bat had made several voyages with great success, as Captain of as gaglielischomer, employed by Mr. Little. page, of this Weird, in bringing mules from Guayana, for supplying the planters. Li this trade he had picked up, by his owe little adventures, a few hundred dollars, and ac. quired a knowledge of the navigation of the Orinoco, and the commerce it led to with the interior, of which he was anxious to profit, and associated Lieut. Watson in hi. plaits. His view was to proceed op as far as Sau Fernando& Apure, and thereby obtain the best market, and rehires at the first hand, awl for this purpose Watson's boat was • very handy conveyance. By the unfortunate and premature fate of these active, intelligent young men, their country bee lost much useful commercial information, which they would have acquired bad they been able to realise their plan, and fur which they were peculiarly well adapted by their nautical still, habits, and entertaining dispositions. Under existing circumstance% they would have possessed the facility of exploring the extensive inland navigation of the Apure, Meta, &c. But all this was blasted by the hand of ail as sassin, whom very crew, all &imbue, it appears, refused to execute the execrable mandate. It is thus that the best blood of Venezuela has bees shed by the vilest roffiansduriog the whole coarse of the Revolution, assumiag the right, wherever they possessed the mesas, and thereby giving rise to a war of retaliatior sod extermination, at which human Nature revolts! Bat to murder Englishmen, in the pursuits of rude, was reserved to the agonizing efforts of nsouopoly This horrid example may prevent others from exposing themselves in so defeuceless a manlier, hut will cheek our intercourse with any of the free Governmente of South America. It was the worst way in the world to cure English men of their curiosity to explore the recesses of commerce; but when every barbarian is a licensed assassin, it behoves them to be better prepared. PORT SPAIN, Jl/I.ll' 30, 111111. To those rho have laboured in supporting the cause of freedom in South America it is truly grateful to see the triumph of truth over the fabrications of calumny, and all the stale arguments against a chance to the political state of tint country, though reproduced in a thousand shapes, yielding to the plain dictates of good same and political ex pertierry, both in Europe sad America. The spirit of trade, which has carried civilisation to the remotes censers of the globe, claims • great part of the merit of having 'conveyed the iteloral priaciples of our Coostitutio• to the grateful soil of Columbia, and of having fostered the tender plant of rational liberty, with • protecting band, sexiest the rude blasts of despotic power. To the commerce of Greet Britain the world is highly indebted for afford:Dl the means of saving Europe, of liberating America, and probably of civilizing Africa. It is the great engine of our natimal prosperity, and diffuses its advantages wherever it goes, by calling into action and giving value to the productions of every soil. Such are Its tildes to the proud eminence on which it steads: rival experience and conviction, South America halls our commerce, and invites us to augment her comforts and con veniences, and to receive iu returu her verioni valuable pro ductions. She offers a participation of her rich land. and mild climate to our surplus population, under the most li beral institutions. %Valium the expense of garrisons, she offers all the rich exports of our Colonel suit a greater va rimy, fur our national manufactures: a n d, i n s h ee t. she offers to the trade of the world such fair direct competition in her markets, 1 . 3 the national industry of each 'may entitle them to. This is the broad basis of reciprocity South Anse. tics offers to Europe, in lieu of the monopolising and ex clusive system of Spain; but to the spirit nod capital of 111 i sh merchants•the Continental Powers will chicly, if not solely, owe these advantaps. With the increase of European population, a greater neit her of those wants will tie crested, which we denominate she conveniences and comforts of life; and of coarse the toss wiempltun will increase, aol may in I mil, to the new comers, but an proportion to the diffusion of knowledge and example among all classes albs present ink ibitants, and die facility of supplying those wants. At pri seat many persons are art real on plate in Mexico, who do nut know the eUlleetliellee of good knives and forks, nor a thousand whir necessaries, *huh the moat moderate circnuastaticrs afford SO English man. Indeed the consequence of monopoly and want of in tercourse desliiiyed industry, for waist of the stimulus of bade i mid all the conducts bf life (..f which Faris•. Iwo self As distinct and independent Governments, the various pendencies of Spain can cause 110 disquiet to Europe by augmenting their populatios and resources, since the Euro peau family in general will profit hy their trade without lie. ai Lag exposed to the prepusderating means plarLl at the dis posal of a single rower, particularly governed by as abso lute Sovereign. The wants of America are a better guarantee to Europe for maintainiag those useful relations than a thousand Treaties with Spain. Her independence binds ber to Ell rope in gesteral, instead of Spout alone. From the greet its of European knowledge all the awful arts will flaw tato those highly-favoured regions, and dissipate the gluons of abject superstition and intolerance which hare been trans planted from the mothr-sossestry sad propagated wale** ti zeal by the same means, with • view to bar all intercourse with straagers, who would encourage their industry by teaching them the value of it. But the South Americans are fully aware of the value of civil and religious freedom from haviK experleueeil the waist of it. and shew themselves worthy of it by the valour with which theydefeod their independence. Good order and subordination to the new Government shew every where the progress of the cause, and its useful influence on the minds of the people. Strangers are received by them with open anus, particularly the British and North Americas's.-- Owing to the nature of their Governments they are cousi amid friends primes ,fuels. Bat the Americans have lately taken measures to cement their political relations by seta. lug Envoys to Buenos Ayres and Venezuela; and probably they will be the first to sekuoviledge the independence of the new Republics. In the sums time, these usesisures have produced to the indepeadeuts great political advantages iu the public uphrion. SPANISH AMERICA. The recent work of Captain Bonnycastle, on this interesting subject, possesses stroug claims on the attention of a very large proportion of readers. It is well adapted, as • clans-hook, for the higher students in schools; and, as a compendium of his torical and geographical information, forms a most desirable appendage to the news-rows of a public library. The consideration that uo work of ■ similar kind in the English language existed. on the Traits-Atlantic Colonies of Spain, might •'one have justified the author its undertaking an arduous a task ; and it is fortunate that this motive ac corded so well with his favourite puteuits. as to animate him with redoubled zeal for its accom plishment. He does not write aids the tenseness of one who having incautiously given a pledge to the public, feels himself reluctantly bound to re deem it ; on the contrary, every step in his pro gress seems to have inspired him with fresh ala crity ; and, if we may he pardoned so jocittii ass " El Dorado." has been apparently as delightful a hobby to him, as the sieges in Flan. dens were to honest Captain Shandy. It is from this ardent attachment to his subject, that we must account for the extensive and indefatigable research which he has imposed upon himself, as is manifest in every section of his performance, es well as for that tone of origiuslity which eminently distin guishes it from the frigid. common-place composi tion of a mere compiler. However this sedulous accuracy sway have re tarded the completion, it has greatly augmented the value of the work. From its stores the student may perfect one branch of a liberal education, by acquainting himself with the natural and politicel history of a most interesting portion of the globe ; the merchant may derive important and useful de tails to direct him in his speculations ; sod the statesman may appreciate the tendency of that eventful revolution. which has for eight years en gaged the attention of the civilized world. Among the variety of valuable information capa ble of being, without injury. separated front the context, we select the following passage, which occurs in the description of Cuba : IiAVANNAH. The capital of Iliii, i.land is that well-known town called the Havanna), fourded by VI-la.quez, in the commencement of the sixteenth century. in 23 deg. 12 min. north latitude, 82 deg. 14 Loin. west longitude, on the north coast, opposite to the Florida.. The harbour is very fine, and capable of con tabling the largest fleet in toddy. This harbour and the town have been fortified as strongly as pos sible; the Spaniards looking on this port as the key of their !Vintls American possessions. The only fault in this excellent port is, that the entrance is very narrow and difficult; w much so, that during war vessels have been taken going in; on account of only one being able to pass at a time, the rearmost vessels have fallen into the hands of the pursuing ships, without their comrades being able to assist them. This channel is how ever so strongly fortified, during its whole length, that it would be hazardous in the eitreme fur au enemy's fleet to enter. 'flie mouth has a fort on each side; that on the east it called More Castle, on a high rock, is a triangular work, mount ed with forty toners of heavy commis, having a hat tery nearly 101 l with the water at the foot of the rock ; that on the west is called Punta. fad coin communicates with the city ; this is a square fort, strongly built, and well supplied with artillery. The city is surrounded with works, mounted with numerous heavy gulls. A square citadel is erected, near the centre of tile town, and is call ed El Fuerte ; this work Lai also heavy C 411110 14 and on this the Spanish garrison sad mirab,tauls place their chief drileVaiilllCP.

The importance of this city sod harbour, has caused it to be repeatedly attacked; it was tdirri in 1:533. by a French pirate, but renowned for 700 dollars ; it was again taken by the English and by the French, and by the Buccaneer, ; but the moat memorable. attack was that executers by the British 171 1762. Admiral Sir George Pocotke and Lord Albemarle, conducted a fleet and troops to the Ilavaimals, and afwr a determined resistance of two months and eight days. on the Ittli of August the Moro Castle and place surrendered, as well as a district of 180 wiles to the west of the town.-- The victors captured nice earl of the line; three snore were sunk by the Spaniards; two on the stocks were burnt, and a great many merchant ves.. eels, loaded with valuable cargoes, completed the spoil. The valuable merchandise and specie found in the plate., was supposed to am tto *twee mil lions sterling. Thus. after incredible bardslitint, efforts of extraordinary valuer, and a display of unequalled judgment on the part of the Common dere. did tins gallant force take this strung fur tress; and were recompensed by the applause* of their nation. the para:)zation of the enemy, and an inimmise booty. This city was restored to Spain at the peace of 1763 ; since which period the Otivei rot has beeii constantly employed in increasing its strength and retina rCea. • The trade of this port is:computed to amnrizit by importations (the eXpeolt.itloii% ei.lt fly ui sugar, wax, and cutler,) to twenty millions of pais tres. The inhibitanta of the Alawantiali amount to 25,0n0, whilst the total postulation of the island of Cuba legitimated to be about 550,000. E PIMA& OF pm prs NEW SYSTE' OF PHYSICAL PHILOSOPHY. In the system of pliilosot,hy called Newtonian, Sir Isaac Newton considered Attraction, or G ravi tat mil, as the primary cause of material phenomena. He couceived that bodies fall to the eat ti because they ure attracted by the rook, aid that all matter tracts all mutter in a proportion of the bulks and distance; and to account fur the motions of the planets, he tadglit, that . at their creatiou they were projected in the vacuum of space in straight line., but were drawn into their cur viliirear oibite Ity the attractive force of the site, ; and that these too forces. the projectile and the attractive, ure aloa”t its activity. .• On the oilier hnml, S r Itcharil Phillips has pu!;- '.islietl a noir System, in which lie den i es that theta exists any inherent property of attraction in miter, and ridicules the not.on of the p•vj.:ctile force awl the vacuum of spare. The pli;l:ifr!ielmit of lidaic; - rushing together he asserts is alw: 7 , ;in occo eli t i , not au innate property; consequen' if there is no universal gravitation, there is toe groomd for in-irt. log on the existence of prof-stile I red to counteract it, aid of a vacuum for a perpetuatioa of that force. The universal agent operating nu matter, he says, is motion—and motion, ss transferred from body to body, and con pounded is various directions, is alleged, in this System, to be the efficient and suffi. slant cause of all sensible phenomena. The fall of bodies to the earth is traced by Sr Richard to the orbicular and rotatory motions of the earth, of which inotiosis all terrestrial bodies are the pa. tieuts. The rotatory motion equalizes the orbicu lar momentum of bodies of various density ; hence the known series of density di creasing. (according to this system, in geometrical ratio) from the upper regions of the atalitiphere towards the centre of the earth ; and hence also the fall of relatively heavy bodies, from the impassibility of their be. dig revolved in any lighter strata into which they may have been raised or rejected. All distorts: once is therefore instantly corrected, and every part of a planetary mass is forced by the rotatory mo. as cotijoined with the orbicular, to set k a posi tion iu w h ich it will have the least centripetal freer.

The motion of the plmets are by this system ascribed to the of aiming central muss like the sun, whose motions are tratisfe..red to the seterul plainats through the gaseous medium tilling space.
