Extract of a letter to the Editor of the Balti) -1 wore Patriot, dated thrums!), October 11. " The United States schooner Peacock and Bri tish schooner of war Speedwell urrived here a few days since, having captured in company, five piratical vessels, one mounting nine pins, one fivei and three small vesselt.laden with goods. They , al..° destroyed one small vessel, aiiil a quantify of property on shore at the harbour of Bay() Honda. The Peacock fell in with the Speedwell, which w:is on shore on a reef, and would, no doubt, have beet' (*pewit by the Pirates, had illlr the Peacock sent her Ipeato and men to their assistance. The Pirates then made for the harbour, and the two vessels manned their hosts and pursued them ; when (as has been befo-c stated), the men all deserted the 'Twit, and fled to the woods. One of the prize schooners is new in this port, a tender to the Peacock. The others, 1 undersond, have been ordered to Charleston. A representation of this having been made to the Government, the Governor ordered a detachment of two hundred men by land. Two schooners of wsr, four latiochts, and two armed boats with 400 men, also; left here on the 9th instant, in pursuit of the piratical gang. Thus movement on t as. part of the Government, to co-operate with the Americ nd English, will no doubt put a stop to this dKriows business, tviNieh it would be utterly impossible to, effectwithodt the assistance of land forces." [From the Baltimore Patriot of Sattirdss] The IVoticioso of the Elih, published at flavannali, has the following editorial paragraph : " Dou Blas Rodrigues, Captain of the Spanish , schooner Iris, which arrived here this morning from Baltimore, has communicated to us the fol lowing important information, respecting the in surgent vessels which ire publicly repairing in that port. The Captain assures us that two days before his arrival, a brig armed with 14 guns, called the CoNginstaslor, sailed to cruise be fore Cadiz, under the command of the famous Da niels; and, on the tame day of her departure, an other brig of 10 guns sailed for Lsguira, whence she bad gone to Baltimore to repair the damage she had suffered in a fight. There remained besides in the samtvort a brig orihermaphrodite schooner,which had entered armed as a schooner, and the schooner Centeno, Captain Chase, which captured be• fore the Moro the Spanish brigantine Brilliant Hanantro, which was fitting out in order to coo finite her hostilities upon our commerce.

The matter is not so distinctly stated as it might be; but information has reached us which supplies much of what is defective. This expedition to Porte Rico, which is de. tallied at Curscoa, is another Amelia Island affair. It is believed that the persons engaged in the enter prise have no commission from any Power whet ever ; and that it is fortunate that they have been prevented from proceeding further, lest they should 1 have rendered themselves liable to the fate of all pirates. Porto Rico, it seems, was the object of their des timition—but it was selected by chance, in all pro babiltiy, the whole matter having the appearance of a mere speculating adventure, bold enough, but ill-advised and worse digested. Among the persons embarked in it, we are sorry to le•vn, are several respectable American citizens, and youths of good family, who are thus setting not only the laws of their own country, but the law of stations at defiance. We hope to hear that the individuals concerned have take• counsel of discretion, sod dispersed, if not, we hardly know what fate to predict for them. JEW 'volts, ocresEß 31.

EARLY SNOW.—Yesterday morning, between twelve and one o'clock, there was a light fall of snow in this city, and • little farther to the north ward the ground was covered. A letter from Cur•coa, of the 25th September, to a Gentleman io this city, says—G. The Royal General Morales has lately made • lauding of 1,800 men on the Winn eirast.27 leagues to lee ward of Maracaibo. His object is to capture that place: the Patriots, however, are likely to defeat his views, they having thrown some troops in his rear, •nd strengthened the g,arritou of Maracaibo. They are also iu considerable force near Coro. Morales is short of provisions and water; sod, in fact, they are in want of every thing. It would not be sur 'prising if his whole army were to perish, as the country where they now are is the most barren and inhospitable in this quarter. The people here look with much anxiety for the result of this expe dition."

NEW SOUTH WALES The Governor of New South Wales his officially made known to the people of the colony that a par. sage from Sydney to the new country Jestward of the Blue Mountains has recently berd'discovered. The croumuoication with the western country having been heretofore over o long and difficult range of mountain's, alike ungenial to don and cattle, from their parched and barreh nag; it became an object of great importance to discover another route, whereby those almost insoemountatA barriers would be avoided, and a more practicable and con sequently less hazardous recess effected' ta the rich and extensive plains of Bathurst. With this pur pose Mr. Throsby obtained his Excellency's per onismo to explore those palls of the country a loch seemed to him likely to possess the desired facilities 'of intercourse; and undertook the expedti?n, not withstanding the privations, difficulties, and don gers, to which he was exposed in traversing wastes %ad forests, hitherto unexplored. On the 45th of April last he commenced los arduous tour, passing through the Co*Pastures,accompanied,py Mr.J oho Rowley and two servants, together with two natives, as guides, and brought it to a happy termination ow the gth of May, by his arrival at the hut of Lieut. Lawson, on the Campbell River, within • short distance of Bathurst ; the whole time occupied in the expedition being fifteen days. The features of the country, intervening between the Cow Pastures and Bathurst, are represented. with' few exceptions, to be rich, fertile, and luxuriant, abounding with fine runs of water, and all the hap py varieties of soil, hill and valley, to render it de lightful to the view, oppoitable to sU the purposes of pasturage and agriculture. The importance of these discoveries is enhanced by the ceosideratioa that a continuous range of valuable country, ex tending from the Cow Pastures to the remote plains of Bathurst, is now fully ascertained, connecting those countries with the present settlements on' this side the Nepeau. The Governor had conferred on Mr. Throsby, for his services in this excursion, 1.000 acres of laud in any part of the couistry discovered by himself that he pleased ; 100 acres on M'Rowley ; 100 acres on each of his servants; and suitable rewards on the guides.

' Boats were sent to one of the islands for refresh melts, where they obtained an abundant supply of cocoa nuts, being ell the lend produced. Two men went on shore, sod were kindly treated by the inhabitants, who wide them presents. Another island, about five miles distant from " Mitchill's Group," was ascertained to be uninhabited, about a mile lung, and guarded all round by a coral reef, against which the ses broke with great force. The land is not more than 11 feet above the sea, but being covered over with high trees, it appeared very lofty, and could be seen 20 miles off in clear weather. This island. also supposed to be a new discovery, was named Hoekg Island by Capt. Bar rett. It lay in lat. 10. 45. S. long. 170. 28. E. by lunar (variation 11 East). NSW YORK, NOVEMBER 1.

The capital of the province is San Frirecis de Quihdo or Caters ; is built on the hunks of the Atrato, about 300 miles front the mouth. ' The current Of the rierse is generally shout two miles per hour, and in heavy mins or floods four. '(he iise during the latter period is about2o feet up at the town, but it sumo fall..

Plating, and many other valuable stones and mi nerals are found, hut are-not much attended to. Game is abundant, also fish; there are some snakes, but for their bites there are plenty of plaids which are used as antidotes. Medicinal plants, and a variety of highly-scented and resinous gums ere to be got. Indian grows add : also bark, both red sod yellow. Cocoa, coffee, cotton, and tobacco, thrive well ; but the people give no attentoou to agriculture. although ths lairds are gotat sail very cheap. ANTIOQUIA. The province of Antiuquia is considered one of the must fertile and rich of Columbia, and is little , known. It extends from 5 deg. to 8 deg. 3.1 11110. N. let. and 6 deg. to 2 deg. 18 min. W. lung. of Santa Fe de Bogota, the capital of Colombia. The city of Antioquis is the largest in the province. It is situated in the valley of Novi. in let. 6 deg 36 inns. N. and 1 deg. 49 min. W. long. on the batiks of the 'routszto, and about two miles from the greet river, Cases. It lips several churches, a considerable number of housee, end a large poplars lotion. The inhabitants are lively in their manners, and very hospitable. The climate is warm, but considered very 'healthy. There ore few mus quellises, or othertroublesome insects. so common in tropical cliniates • them, are several descriptions of snakes. The wht provielce is very mountainous; a high chain of mountains divides the rivers Atrato and Cauca; from the western side thereof rise the Behuurs, Artois, Penderisco or !Hurd, and the Sucio, very large tivera; the Leon also rises there and falls into the Gulf of Darien. A very small part of the province is cultivated: every where the richest vegetation chews the fertility of the soil. the woods are extremely numerous, and of great value for line or durable work. The quints or bark, both red end yellow, is abundant, and the laurel or wax tree, from the berries of which a great rpiatitity of wax is yearly made, cud clarified by standing iii' the sun. There are many plains from whichyellow, green, scarlet, and black dies ere extracted; indigo grows wild. Of medical plants, which are numer ous, are the pereirs, serraparilloa China root, &c. &c. ; and of gums, the .nuns, guiacutn, storax, balsam ca pi vi, fronkincense, Ike" Although this province produces a variety of use ful and valuable commodities, still the great source of its wealth is the (nines, which are very rich. The mountains of Qiiindio contain a vi..-.ety of minerals, and the sands of several rivers, portico larly the Cauca, Puree, mod Nechi, almond in gold. From the Valle tie Osos, and fel& the Illesuntains near these. au immense quantity is pro. tired. In short, there is scarcely a river, rivulet, or water-course of this province, in which this A pre cious metal is not to be (omit 'Elie miners undero stand very little of mining. or they would shoed* be immensely rich. Large veins of silver have been found. Native cinnibar is abundant, particularly at foot of the Cerro de Pempenado. Near that place, and in the neighbourhood of the Penob, are two very rich mines of copper, mixed with a large por tion of gold, and from its colour it is generally taken fur pinchbeck ; but there is no one who uuderstands working them, or they would be pro ductive of immense wealth to the provitice. Iron is plentiful; also mines of Amistithus , quarries of anarble, es well as Time-stone and gyp sum; salt is produced at sufficient quentities 10i the consumption of the province. Beantiful gla ndes, rock crystal, greet' jasper, emeralds, and handsome roue of blue stones, are frequently found; distn i vads are occasionally found, but nut • often. Agrieult..re is little attended to; corn. plantains, sugar-canes b and a few roots, as the jucas and sweet potato. are raised, but very little garden. stuff. Excellent horses, asses, mules, tattle, bog., turkeys, fowl., and ducks, are the domestic stock, hot they take little trouble with them, scarcely raising sufficient for their own consumption. fitESIOII4NDA RESPF.CTIIVa. THE PROVINCE OF NOMA. . -t The ciety of Nova:), the capital of this province, is the seat of government. It is situated in a valle t , and, to the eastward and westward are two ridges of hills, which form part of theitAttales. From ifs local position. it very wet and damp, owing to continued rains, for scarcely a day or night in the ITor passes witiput it. It is at times very warm ; bat, notwithstanding its being so damp, it is.not considered unhealthy ; the inhabitants being sqh ' feet to Icw complaints, except intermittent'. and then generally through their own imprudence in get changing their clothes or shoes when Oct with The custom is to wear succos (isonden pattern.), when you walk oat, or else to go with the feet en aptly naked, which most people do. The popula r flan is not very great, and, with few exceptions % is deplorably ignorant. There are no schools (in this • wince or Choen) or medical men ; in thort, tbm - "it instruction much. So far belied are thelt, that all the public officers are uativea of other pro vincest- With but new exceptions, the clergy are good men, bat it is impossible for them, in such extensive districts, to pay that attentieu necessary to the instruction of the rising generation. There are several Hue rivers, particularly4he Tamana, on the south Bide of which is the espial. but • small distance from its banks. This midi most others of maenitude, fall into the San Juan (the largest), which discharges itself by seven mouths in the South Seas, in one of which is the harbour of Charimbeea ; to the southward is also another pert, named Cascayst, better than the former. Ascend ing the river Guinco from the San Juan with • slight portage, brings you into it. The general eppear enee of this town is dreary, as much owing to the heavy rains as its situation, which makes it subject t" to severe tetnifists and gusts of wind, which are often experienced; but a very small part of this province is cleared or cultivated. The sole articles of any consequence raised are corn and plaintainv, and a lap canes, with which they make syrup and gu (a kind of pan sugar). There are some cattle, but not abundant; in this, as well as in the province of Choco, the Spaniards destroyed almost all, as well as other stock.- Gold appears to be the principal article sought after, and employs the greater part of the population. It is frequently met with in large lumps, but mostly in dust. The whole face of the country contains it, and not a river ova creek but what it is to be found in great abundance in dry weather. Platina is very slimed sot, and to be got in any quantity, but from the low value hitherto placed on it very little is circu lated. No silver, quicksilver, ash, or lime, have yet been discovered here. There are several descrip tions of fine stones; among others is a crystal very Lunch resembling what is described by Buffen, lout superior. There are emeralds, very large, but they do nut know their value. The woods, plants, and gums, lie very fine in this province, and are much the same as Choce, but the quina imausre abundant. PARIS PAPEHS. • A PARIS, NOVEMBER 92. The Duke and Duchess of Orleans have paid a visit to the King. The King has not been out. The following important article is copied from the Ateik:— .‘ Alarming rumours were yesterday evening spread abroad through Paris. This time the rumour did not relate to the death of the King of Naples—to the abrupt departure of the Sovereigns—nor to the sudden dissolution of the Congress. No courier bad arrived from Italy, but a commercial coulisof had arrived from Madrid, and on n fact so simple and so common, extraordinary news has been funded, of which the following is a specimen:— , 4 It was asserted that at the departure of the courier is the 14th of November, Madrid was in a state of great ag taiioo that the French Ambassador had been so serinbsty insulted, that hie reeal and war seemed inevitable. It was added, that the Ministers had met in no extraetedinary 'sty ling on the reetipt of ibis news, and that orders for war bad been immediately given. The names even of three diatro (sighed Generals were given as about to act out taned's(' for the piny. " These rumours, which arrived too late. vs-steeds; Auence the public funds on the Exchange, were cirri mediate!, to the Cafe Tortoni, where it appears alone is taken, and the renter, which on the usual ph unsnarling business had closed at 89f. 20c., fell one in this chapel of ease. The fall continued thrutia day, and the very last quotation still felt the . produced by this new.. We have thought it our investigate the source of these rumours, no less for' vita of truth than fur those of marry of our readers. " We are able to affirm, that on the departure courier, who arrived yesterday from Madrid. that co-it joyed ammpleto tranquillity; that neither M. Leann*. Ambassador, nor any Foreign dratiassodot, had hi es ed.
