A Surinam Mail arrived this morning s by which we have the following intelligence • GUADALOUPI74, Dec. 15.—These seas are still swarming with 4merican privateers, and. we hear every day of some capture among our dragging ves sels, by which our trade is much annoyed. BORBICE, DEC. 14.--There is a report here, that there are six or seven American privateers cruizing on the coast. At present there are only tivo ships in this harbour, the Iris and the Specu lator, that ,have now been laden four months waiting for convoy to protect them. DEMERARY, De.c.l9.—UisMajesty's ships Crane and Lightning have been cr►►izing to windward, since which we have not heard any thing of the American privateers, say for IQ or 12 days. SURINAM, Dec. B.—On the sth and 6th inst.. arrived here the Nathan front Madeira, and the Manchester packet fro►►► Falmouth, and a schoone? from Cayenne, 'none of Which s►►w any America►► . privateers on the coast ; we therefore presume they have left us. J3ARBADOES, DEC. 7.—Arrived on the 2d and 6th inst. the Phteni,r, NORBURNE, and the Pante, GREENRIDGE, from Dewerary, after being taken and plundered by the Ilighher American privateer. A Cadiz Mail arrived this morning, and Gib raltar Papers to the 23d ult. An article ,from Cadiz, speaks of an energy and activity being about to prevail, which may be expected to produce the best effects. The following arc extracts BAYL4N ) JA v. 17.-,-The enemy continue to ex tort grain and money, and commit their usual pleuderings in Ira: Mancha, • JAEN ) JAN. 19,---The head-quarters have -ar rived here. The cavalry hos been reinforced by a squadron of Calatrava, from the troops which were in liaylen. The squadron of Uhrique has march 7 ed.to Cordova to renew its doodling. • AbiDUiAR, AN. 26,!---The enemy have been sur ' .prised in Granatutti by our cavalry and three com panies, and' had it not been for a'treacherous Spa niard, not One would have escaped ; us it was, 3 officers and'''. horses were. taken. CADIZ, JAN, 16 The Lord appears to have taken new and extraordinary dispositions. Ge nera CASTANOS' appears to be about to leave Cadiz,: and, in fine, every thing announces that the repose of December will be succeeded by an energy and activity which may be expected to pro duce the-best effects \lien, JAR. 6.—We are assured, that the French have resolved to withdraw people from Catalonia to reinforce the corps which they have in the frontier departments ; it is' added, that all the National Guards who were in the Catalonian Army are trutreldng towards the North. With surprize we have leirrted, that in tins province some per sons are clamorous for the establishment of the uqui3it ion . Those who proposed it, did not pre viously consult public opinion, which for a length of time has not diminished the odium it feels for so odious a tribunal. JlitatoA, .lAN. 4.—The accounts we receive from Bayonne greatly gratify us our enemy has diminished the garrison of PuegUrda. • ilaan-aumurtas, MOnCiA ) JA?. ca valry has proeeeded. to Lorca and Caravaca to refresh, leaving to observe the enemy, t*o light colpi, the Cateadores of jam!, which watch Su , eltwr i and enALEco'S corps on t r ite side of witliOnt . losing sight of them who . are in La , Mancha., The troops with which josertt ap peared in. Ocana, and arrived at QuiPtabar and Belmunte, do not appear to have. advanced any further. The English in Allearit receive rein forcements ; • lately. 4000 infantry and 400 horse disembarked there. IVloziTt! VIDEO, OCT. 4.,--The armistice be,. tweet! the Prince Regent of Portugal and the re volutionary Government of Buenos Ayres having been ratified, and the Portuguese troops !parched buck to the Brazil frontiers, , the rebellious arnly crowd the Uragnay, and compelled our small de tatdunents t abandon rityBapdre, Car ila da Mercedes, and even the port of Colonist. tfhe strong party which the enemy had .in the country, upon this grew bold, met at several points,' and formed tt few Mined bodies - Which f e n upon the defenceless toWiyr and villages, and pl u ndered hum 119. Lanai. ThTts it is thlit. our c o ,amander in Chief -not Only 11 aS` nut 1101. n !tido to preVent the,laying ‘vaote.of our fielik, the only wraith in Our Province, but is. himself Shot up within the *ails., with oaf due party of ohserti tion without, which, in the day time, patrol s far as the gequelate (74 leagues from this), and at night, takes shelter in one of the houses, si tuated a little beyond the range of our cannon.—; The rebel' advanced guard is at Canelonis, and the head-quarteis at Mercedos one of their divisions is to come by Poronza, to watch the avenues of Guro Largo, in case the Portuguese should come to our assistance, which is not improbable. The whole of the Buenos Ayres army may consist of from 8 to 9000 men, and of these better than une half are without arms. Their outposts have ad vanced to within half a league of this. CADIZ, J. 12.—We are assured that the Al .liccl Armies are about to commence offensive ope rations upon a general combined plan. .• SEVILLE, J. 24.—Yesterday General Cns- TANos arrived in this place. By a letter received this day from Yarmouth, we learn, that two of the - enemy's line-of-battle ships have escaped from the Scheldt., No account of this has reached the Admiralty.' Di'patches from Sir Enwaan PELLEW, in the Mediterranean, came to the Admiralty this,day, but the contents have not transpired. A meeting of the Roman Cathidies of this country yesterday took place at Lord SHREWS BURY'S, Lord STOWITON in the Chair. The pur pgrt of the Meeting' was to take into considera tion the propriety of petitioning Parliament for the -removal of all civil restrictions upon the ge neral body. The petition was read and unani mously ad4ted. After a long discussion, a pro position, stihstan•tially impqrting that,." no 'spirit of Conciliation shall be :found wanting on their part, in whatever is nut inconsistent with the ef- - feetnaT integrity and safety cif their religion," *as fin:Ally negatived, and it appeared that. the whole Catholic body are resolved upon complete unani-, mit y with the Irish Catholics, in resisting the: Veto demanded for the British ,Crown, in .the appoint ment Of Routan Catholic Bishops. A similar Meeting was held at Dublin, on Tuesday, last, when the Catholic Board took into consideration a letter received front Mr..Truttronmu, Secretary to the Board of English Catholics; and a letter from Mr. Bumen, (if LineOln's Inn, undressed to Mr. GRATTAN, in. which Mr. BUTLIM conversation that he had had with Lord CASTI.E 7 REACiIi, and stating, that he had prepared and de posited with his Lordship the draft , of . an iict of, Parliament, to he passed this Session, for the ltc peal of all the Penal Laws 4gainst theitonlan Ca tholic body, and that his Lordship gladly under - took.to take it into his Most favourable consi deration. Finally, it was directed that a courteous and re spectful answer be sent to Mr. E. siehattlanAm by Mr. Ilny, the Secretary to the Board. As this subject is of the uttnost,importaoce, and will andergo the most solemn legislative discus sion, we shall forbear to say any thing more at, present than that the refusal of the Veto, pud determination in the Papists to concede nothing that they shall deem •' inconsistent wick the eirectuai integrity and safety of their religion," afford little in favour -of their cause. Tte ligious toleration they enjoy in as complete a man ner as any Government can possibly grant ►t, mid if they are not contented with that, it most he glaringly obvious that their chief object is politi cal power, and their sole motive political ambi tion. The Common Council yesterday finally deter . mined to present a Petition to Pal liniment in fa vour of the East India monopoly. It was scarcely to be expected, after , the orators . nt. the East India House, who, declaimed in favour of the con tinuance of exclusive privileges, had failed in ad ducing any ptoofs in support of .their assump tions, that the advocates for monopoly in the Common Council should succeed in proving the necessity of its continuance. We fiiid nc corditigly, that the same lack of argument, the same absenee of proof, and the; same unwil lingness to state facts, prevailed at Guildhall as bad predominated in Leadenball-street. After the numerous meetings that have been . held in the an metropolis to consider this question, d the com plete failure in all of' them, on the part of those' who came forward to advocate the continuance of the 'monopoly of the East India Company, (many of them men of considerable ability), in , sustain ing their °pillion by facts, it is by nn means un fair to ' asstitne that they have nothing to urge which in the Teast involves the public welfare ; and that the private interests of a considerable, and certainly a reopectablc class of individuals, us it forms their Only prominent fact, so in reality their only motive. All beside's is general assertion :old ttioupported allegation, As this most important question must sivo come tinder the consideration of the Legislature, we forbear at present frOM entering farther into the argument. , thought it right, however, to city thus mudh upon the Petition of a pnblic body to ParliaMent which so cautiously ;teach entering into* the' real merits cif the qUestiou,..... The merelrants and nuns uf.tcturetS.,who solicit the Opening Of the trade, found their . elainiS upon the just and enlightened principles of commerce .and upon the ev id enc e of facts, -whilst time 'petitions voted in London merely Set tip the immediate: in- tercets of the Meti:dpolis against those of the Eie. pine. It is by placing the question in this unhap py, position, that those who deinanri - a continuance of t i)e Company's monopoly have nullified th e prayer of their Own petitioni. • NAVAL N EVtv S. .1 7 11 - 2.

Tragedy of Jane Shore, last night, at Covent-Garden Theatre, intro duced a Miss . Douot.As to the public, iu the part ,of 41teia, Her figure is good, and her face ca pable-of violent expression,. but not of much variety of tmotion. Her eyes ardarge, and well suited for parts of vehemence. Her voice is strong, but not very musical. H er d epor t ment is easy, if not graceful.. She seemed t o be in full pos session of the character, and was attentive to dunth chew ' when her speeches were ended. Her chief error svgs in dropping her voice On the con clusion of every sentence, so as to render it in audible. Altogether, though she did not rise to excellence, sh'e acquitted herself respe c t a bl y . M r . C. I(assnar. bus seldom appeared to mart advan tage than in Lordliastinp, io far as the part al lowed. After the Tragedy, the Operatic: Farce of Poor Vulcan was revived, and in the representia-• Lion, scenery, &e. very creditably to the Theatre; but as this piece Was composed by the Elder DIE tOAVIIOIII Olt public are indebted for more ori ginal melodies, with the exception of Dr:A ItNE,i - han any other English Musician, independently of his high merits as a song writer, we do not approve cif the freedom with which the piece was treated, by the introduction of a new overture and new songs, . instead of the original compositions. It is not that we object to the new music itself, but to the disfigurement' of what are called Stock pieecs. This practice is the more reprehensible in the present instance, beeause the original Coin- Poser is alive, and will; of course, hear how his Work .has been aimed, though, the infirm state of ; his health prevents him froth witnessing the Insult offered to his Muse. It is, however, pro. Per to add, that the new music in itself does cre dit Co Cos:nnt, nisuop, WARE, and T. WALSH. FAWCETT was very tmorous in Vulcan, and sung one of the songs with munch effect. INcLEnoti was a spirited Jupiter, and SINCLAIR sung prettily h 4 Adonis, 'bat he' Was impolitic in entering into a rivalry with BRAHAM in the tune of &bin Adair. The lust scene of the Celestial Synod,- the flying ' Cupids; and, the - dunce of Satyrs, Faans j &i:. was beautiful and picturesque. Monday an inquest was taken at Minal.ley D'Abitot, on the body of a new-born female in fant, of which [hurrah Sparrow, single woman, on the 22d ult, delivered herself alone in a field in the above . parish, and. who died on the 26th.-- liy examination of the witnesses, it appeared that the mother having been told by a relation with w h om she resided, that she should not be confined at his house, was prof Veiling to the cottage of a friend, about four o'clocit in, the afternoon, and was suddenly taken in labour. She immediately NS/Ca to her friend, and toll her of her situation, ineantionsly leaving the poor infant in the field in one, of the most bitter' days of winter, uncovered. ,She stated where it lay, and begged it might be stmt for. The neighbours hastened, and found the child alive, mid brough t it to the mother ; it sur vived four days. No mark of violence appeared upon it, and the Jury being of opinion that the mother had no intention to destroy ner offspring, and that her leaving it so cruelly exposed arose from the agitatio9 and feat she was in at the time, returned a verdict of—Na tural Death. til'Y litis3is,iii4o': • t A:IT INDI.k tOM.P.I.N '3 CHAD • 1 7 'k...sterday a Coart of Common (.;. held at Guildhall.
