'ii three glitter. past two o'clock, when'thev boiled , the saloon*, and stated that they coati fed thing wore. The Captain of the privateer then or dered his offit . y ' ,nil him a hawser, with which yusewl ti4ctrifside of in at three o'clock. They. then ordered the officers and passengers into ihtiallio. and began to break oven the brioches; Inelltin took out cerooini" - cichineil, and 2 • deretenit'of indigo, and p'..rinrlered as of other goods hilosnierg to the einem of the brig,.as 'well as of *erne of nor sails, erieffige, Ae. This scene of roles ' , try lasted until hilt must four o'clock ;. when finds. log unthirg else of valim.to them, they sent book to us our mote, who bad been chi:nor' ell this time on board the privateer, with the papers of the vessel, and left as with orders to pursue our course ; they steering for the land. On !roving us they sent our boat this distressed situation, it was de. c.chid that we should make fur Havionsh, in order to ribta;ri new rails, and to repair the losses we hnd unstained. On the sth September, at 6 o'clock in the morning, the wind being light from the east ward and nearly a calm. directing owe course for the ' limarmah, according to our previous determination on the Si lust. nod being thee off Poirot:obsess, we perceived a sail near the shore, appsrentiv directing her course for its, who + soon proved to be correct, for at b o'clock be was approaching us rapidly. At nine they fired a gun, to which we did inot pay arty regard ; at ball post 9 she fired itoother, and ut out her boat.. At this time we discovered that it !as the ante schooner that bail plundered us two tlari before. and concluding to heave to, hoisted , oval .g. The boat soon boarded us with pine ersweit Nmen. The officer told os he was seat by the • Captain toexpress his surprise and regret at finding • us to the.same place; without taking into view the iiglq winds which had prevented our making any progress. This officer then ordered us to hoist our long boat from off the hatches, in order to get at the bold, and commanded the crew to shift the• good. which were below, and to search umeogot the sand ballast lot specie, which he con ceived thielit be concealed there ; but discover ing nothing, they again went upon deck, sum moned the Captain and pasteng,ers from the pet a cord round each of their necks, ordering them to declare where they had con. crated she remainder of the money which was cut board. The Captain persisted in saying there was unite besides what they had already got ; when they proceeded to snake preparations fur hanging them. After torturing them in this way for some time, and perceiving that their suffer i ups were extreme, and that even the aspect of dearth could extract nothing more from them, they let go the'topes and restored them to life. They then commenced plundering all they could find on deck, the articles in the camboose, most of the remain jag revisions, and the efiects of the Capeskin and crew, leering every thing in the utmost disorder. While 'has employed, the privateer passed under our stern, wed the Captain inquiring of the Officer whit he had done, was answered that lie had dis covered nothing more. He then advised our Cap tain to leave the coast immediately, as he should remain there, and we had better nut fall into hi, hands a third time: He stated, that the day before istbseao off the Horannah, where he had exchanged bit boat. as we had already perceived. lie also in formed es, the' he had consorts out, which we might fall in with, but from which we had nothing td fear, as they would not trouble us. This he repeat: edllieferal time% but in a manner which was ruthete 'caltulated to e;teite our suspicion. la passing lei windward, he ordered his officer to ►equire of our Wimple) an inventory of the articles be had taken trim us, which was complied with. The piratical officer then left us—and as the sc . ...loner was very DPW to up, we could perceive that they had not so matey men on beard as when they first boarded us; .a”.l, during all these transletions, they had no flag whatever hoisted. All these circumstance., and pat-ocularly the threats made to us, determined the Captain to mike for Charleston, or the first poSt we could get to in the United States, in order to re pair damages and continue hiv voyage. While on hoard the brig, some of the privateer's men asserted, Ghat they had the day previous taken so American ship, and murdered the whole of the crew, with the ineceotion of the carpenter, who was wounded by them, and a boy; and that it was well for them they were not Americans. or they would all be put to death. But this is supposed to have been without foundation. OFFICLIL CORKESPONDEACE. Admiralty Office, October 9, 1822.

In the discussions of the Cortes yesterday, which were replete with wisdom and dignity, the National Congress has accorded to Government the neces sary powers for an extraordinary levy of 29,000 men, and 7,900 horses, which has caused the great est impression in this capital, and no doubt will cause the same when it becomes known in the dif ferent provinces.

To-morrow, or the day after, the Report of the Commissioners of Finances will be rend, in which the Miui•ter demands the creation of SO miHions of revues. Yesterday, after the public sitting, in which was voted the extraordinary levy, the Cortes remained sitting in secret, to hear the reading of the Memorial of the Minister of State on our exte• ►ior'relations, which has been prohibited from ap peering before the public. It is asserted, that in this sitting there was • question, whether or not rne•surrs of reprisal should not be adopted against France.

The Emperor of Austria and the Kings of Prus sia and Sardinia went on the 17111 in the morning to meet the Emperor of 'Lasalle, who entered our city the same day. Ili* arrival was retarded till the 17t11, because hi. Imperial Majesty, on the way from luspruck to Alf, visited some of the most pictu resque spots iu that part of Southern Tyrol.

It is said that our Podeste has been de.. sired to prepare lodgings for a person of distinction, who iv to come Irons London, and who, together with the Dukrof.3Yellington i will represent Great Britain at the Congress. It is affirmed that one of the first operations of the Congress will be to decree the evacuation of Piedmont by the Austrian troops. This point iv in a manner settled, and will not require any farther discossiou, the Ministers of the Great Powers Inv. iiig perfectly agreed ors the subject in the pre. liwiurry conferences which took place at Vienna.— But it is not the same with regard to the kingdom of Naples and Sicily. The deliberations on this point at Vieuna coutinued several days. Some Mioiaters had at first voted fur the evacustiou of these countries, but the contrary opinion was car ried by a great majority. There is reason to be lieve that this first decision may be confirmed by the Members of the Congress. though Engloud is not of this opinion : thus the kingdom of the Two Sicilies would coutinise to be occupied by the Aus trian army, which would be ever* reinforced or at least raised to its full complement. It must be observed, that For some time,pest a certain quan tity of troops has proceeded from the Mslsom to the Roman State, to go thence to join the army of Baron Trianon.

OCTOBER 3), 1822. There was a very numerous meeting yesterday at Lloyd's of the subscribers to that establishment, to take into consideration the late correspondence between their Committee and the Secretary of the Admiralty: we may .say it nearly comprised the whole commercial interest of London, and that is saying every thing for wealth, honour, and integrity. Mr. Mattel , Arr, M.P., their Chairman, was in the chair, sod opened the business of the day by a very clear statement of the cause, the continuance, and the direful close of this notable correspondence. It would not be desirable to many of our readers (particularly those uninterested) to detail verbatim the different speeches; yet we must say they did credit to those gentlemen who delivered them, for a rational, calm, and dignified view of the ques. Lion. The general feeling seemed to be, and in deed was proved by the subsequent vote, in favour of the Committee, and a motion was put and car ried, with a very few dissentients, approving most unequivocally of the conduct of the Committee. We now submit this correspondence in detail to the public. The substance has already appeared in our Paper. We particularly call their atten tion to the cause of complaint—the immediate cause. Two vessels, the Vittoria and Isisistry, were captured by a piratical schooner off the island of Cuba, and one of them, from Jamaica to Lon don, was insured for 30,0001. in Lloyd's. The Com mittee complained to the Lords of the Admiralty of the want of protection. Their Lordships, through their Secretary, replied, that the Cansarion and the Doiterel were upon that station by order of Ad. mind ROWLEY, about the very time of these cap tures. Thi Committee, in rejoinder, suggest • doubt upon this subject, referring to their own in formation—sad indeed if any one will look at the Havannah and New York shipping lists of this very period, they will find these ships very snugly anchored in harbour when the pirates were makiiig their speculatons upon the Vittorio and Inthistry; that subsequently the Carnaiim was off the Colo. emit*, and nut off Cuba, that is, on the 13th August ; and that the Dotterel was on the 201 h August delivering specie at New York. The Ad. niiralty, upon receipt of this letter, desire an in terview, or rather their Secretary desires to see two of this Committee ; but some how or other the Committee have a most extraordinary aversion to an interview, and after some :iehitation they decline, and the business very abruptly rods by the Ad miralty Secretary very peremptorily desiring all correspondence with the Committee of Lloyd's to cease, as we lately stated. It would seem there was a want of confidence in any verbal communi cation. English merchants are generally • very airtight-forward, clear-headed, unbending 'Sort of persmages, and ever like to have a written rom. muslettliOns, : Whicb cANN OT be expliiiirel.liwity% ;air frittered linsih.t Aenied. away, or tiroisitt ormay to 110tiliOK; or, peeimp, appropruttal to !gime or screering of a 'party. They like the 'untie document, which hal proof on the free on it, and, like demonstration, can always be referred to with. out a doubt. The fact is, the protection of the British navy in the West Indies is misnamed. Instead of saying a young man is appointed to the Ja maica station, we should say he is appointed to the "carrying trade" in the West ladies, for not a man of war gees there but is immediately, in the language of the Royal Eachang., "up fur a charter" fur specie, tither from one island to another, to America, or to England ; and this is called protection! We know rt is said our ships cannot be every where; if they carry your specie, they protect your property, sod are doing their duty. The merchants lay, protect the seas, keep them clear, and then we can ship in nor own vessel our specie, without the extraordinary charge of a per centage to the Captain of a man of war, the pet child of influence and fortune, fora protection that ought to be within our own power; always keeping in view, too, that our sugars, our indigoes, and our coffee, would not be liable to the tithing of Cuba schooners. Now respecting the differences between " the powers that he," and the bold yet timid gentlemen of this Committee, we think these latter wanting in consideration to their own dignity, nod to the high hotel ests it is their duty to protect, in quarrel ing about • silly point of etiquette. Surely com mercial credit and capital are not to be tried with for a courtly prejudice. On the other side, we du not wonder at the unmixed hatred and contempt again+. official insolence. The Underwriters still bear in recollection the rude answers to their com plaints about convoys in the latter end of the war, and the impressment of seamen in India, even iu these peaceable times, which is ruinous to their property. If these things were unavoidable, at say rate return gentlemanly answers to a fair and not Peevish complaint. If we recollect rightly, Florence M'Carthy is made to say of this personage, "Och! and did you know his father ? He was • molt beautiful bl--d ; sure his son is the very spit of him." In reviewing all the proceedings of yesterday, we see no occasion to alter our opinion given iu a for mer number—that it is much better to sacrifice little ceremonies to great interests, more erptcially where there interests are a sacred trust from otLert, and where those ceremonies are nearly, if not purel, personal. A man should think first of his duty to his constituents, and lastly of himself. A person has arrived in this country from the Colombian capital, with stivices of later date than any yet published. He has brought a Prods... tion, signed SANTANDAO, and also an order he 40,0001. sterling, signed by the Mid.% authority, upon Mr. ZEA, which aunt is to be expended iu the purchase of two ships. The order has been pre sented and !mid. This has been assigned as the cause of the rise io the Colombian Stuck yesterday. The Paris Papers of Monday have arrived. The fear of foreign invasion has called forth the energies of Spain. The Cortes have voted the extraordinary levy of 29,000 men, proposed by the Minister at %Var. It is also presumed that they meditate re prisals against France for the encoara,geraeut and protection which she has afforded to the Spanish rebel.. These Papers contain a letter from Verona, in which it is confidently asserted that one of the first acts of the Cowes, will be to decree the evacuation of Piedmont by the Antrim troops, and that this measure will excite no dia. cussion, the determination having been taken in the previous conferences. The same justice, however, is not to be done to the Neapolitan people, notwith standing the recommendation of England, who is represented as having resumed her character es the advocate of the rights of independent nations. The proposal made at Vienna to withdraw the Austrian troops from the territories of Naples and Sicily, is said to have been outvoted, and was expected to meet with the same fate at Verona if it should be renewed. It is even asserted that Austria will aug ment her force in that quarter, and that a corps of observa►ion will be formed at Ancona, on the coast of the Adriatic. These re,olutioos having been communicated to the King of NAPLES, that Monarch is said to have manifested his displeasare be• refusing to come to Verona, where he was es pected, and directing Prince Rom) to attend to his place.
