A Portland brig went ashore the same night at Wnnd's Hole; Capt. B. does nor know her name, nor the injury she sus tained.

Ceteatevieetion...We ate informed that Stephen Sayre, Esq. is now in our city, and lodges at the Bell; he ha, been on a visit to his soh, Captain Sarre. We hope he may be induced to reside here, as his only son has now considerable property in the state It is well known that Mr. Sayre was Sheriff of iseession, at the commircement of our revolution4i y 'Tar ; that being too Ze41011 4 it our cause. hs W a. inenrnitted to the Tower, under pretence of treaion , against the Government ; thar he quieted England, • Was employed by our Commissioner. in Paris, in pm, to g to Berlin ; that he first prevailed on the Li% g nt Prusisia to enter into the ar.n .d neutrality ; he two roc-es:ed to De k awl Swed-n. united those two powess in the ohjeft, which was finally carrie.l into efrea in 175.), by the Empress f lltes.sia, who fitted out twenty ships of the line to answer it. We h ive made the shove remarks, because, sine? his .irrival, Mr. Sayre has made some communica tions to a friend heir, that must, when publicly •itimsn, nor merely excite curiosity, but the wonder of ev ry citizen of America. We are informed of a projeet by the Northern Papers, to be emulated by Gen. Mira.ida ; but we had on idea before, that his plan was the most ex tei.s•ve. and above all things, most likely to change the face of affairs through the universe. [The foregoing communication was not received till lac in the day, yesterday. Feeling, however, much interested in discovering the destination of Gen 'Titania, we called at Mr. Sayre's lodgings ; hut we found be had taken .t short ride into the country. We shall however see him before Friday morning, and shall then communicate the re s ult of our enquiries. Gen. Miranda (a native of Mexico) is said to •have been in possession of three tnalhohe of dollars, and to have secretly fitted oat the Leander and two other vessels at New• York, filled with arms, ammo nition, and some troops. Two of these vessels, per haps all three, are sail to have sailed from New- York What is his destination ? has been the anxious enquiry far two or three weeks in some of the NO( +ern Papers. We shall lay two conjures only before our readers:— lit. Some of the Northern Papers have stared, that the obje& of Gen Miranda is to revolution ise Cerra. We do cot believe it. U. Is not the English Government privy to his plan? •I'his conjeflute is four-dit Ist. upon the re port of his having received 60.000 pounds from a house in New-York. in consequence of an English conneetion (for which see the following paragraph from !'tie Asters) ; and sidly, upon the uuknown and mysterious destination of Sir !lame Popham's squa droi. True, this squadron may not have arrived at Buenos Ayres, as has been r,-pot red ; but there are other landing places in South America besides Buenos A ym. Another conk lure, infinitely in ire important than these, and more deeply connected with the agora of oar own country, rises apon us. We must here more time to consider it. It is much too im portant to he lightly trusted to a public paper.] .• By a letter from a friend at New-York, we learn an important fall, that General Miranda, w: , ra is said lately to have sailed from New-Yorks brought with him fi.cm England a letter of credit on one home at New.liork for sorvi4evind poured, mr' s .

Prince., ,f , ‘•-•,.1 has retiirned to Yarranni from the Texel, to which she had CA ri .d a Flag of truce, with dispatches for Admir 41 KIKKART. from Admiral ItvssiLts. She st that tl.e Web squadron, consisting of seven sail r.l the line, 1 frigate, and e brigs, was !Ong in the Nicu Dior), all ready for sea, except one of the line of battle ships, a hid] had her foremast out. We lately stated, that an expedition was fittirg out, and expeacd shortly to sail. We have since learned that its destination is not one of those vul nerable points to which it would Le improper to draw the public attention, by di , ciosing intelligence from which the enemy could derive any advantage. The milita. y force going out, consists of two parts. o.:e comprising the 30th regiment, a regiment from Jer sey, and the 3.1, 4th, aid sth Battalions of the Goth Regiment, is destined for the Cape of Good Hope. The other is going to Sicily. It consists of the 21st, 31st, and 54th Regiments of Foot. The 6th Dra goon Guards, dismounted; and the 2.1 Battalion of the 27th, Lord Nloirta's Regiment. This Batta lion will be 1,000 strong. Our port letters anon:lnce tevnral vessels, under Prussian colours, brought in by our cruis.rs. As the order to seize and detain such vessels imp Grs an authority to use force in case of resistance, we may enon expel to hear of some Talent a of Ittn.tility. The I:allowing is the Prussian notific rtion of the measures adopted agAinst this country, published at ll.tnever, on the 28th last:— Ina Treaty, concluded betee•ii His Ntajetty the Kim; of P.unia, and Ili.

We have re-rived .w-York Papers to the 7th of March. Th-y contain the proceedings of the L-gislatttre, from the 18th to the 49:h of l'ebruary, in which nor the slightest reference is made to the &spore between this country and the United States. This circumstance confirms the previons account which stated, that the business will ise settled by ne gociatinn. A small expedition, which lately sailed from New-York, has excited much anxious inquiry. It consists of the Leander and two other yew+. The military force on board is commanded by Ge nera Mitt AM tl•. This officer being a native of Mexico, it is thence supposed that the expedition is destined for South America. Other speculators have sent it to Cuba. The Moe of the Flora, cap tnred by a Ft ench squadron from Brest, on the 7th of December, in lat. 30. 27. long. eG. 30. has ar rived at Baltimore, in America. The French squa dron, which consisted of the Rezedls, of . 84 runs ; la Sybeflr, 44; Ls Pruden/e, 44; and tinrrrillante, 18, was supposed to be destined for Cayenne. A F:ench cartel, however, arrived on Monday, at Falmouth, with the officers and crew of His 11i *JEST% 'S sloop Farnurite, captured by the sasne squadron, on the 6th of January, forty leagues S.E of the Cape de Vera Islands, in the course for St. I lelena, and the Care of Good Hope. The report of the Mate of the Flora, confirms the ac count in our Falmouth letter of the capture of the tiers, Rohe, t, and Bedtime, West Itultanaeu, by the same squadron. We have received Paris Papers to the 11, ard Dutch to the Sth instant. They announce a new batch of creations to titles, and grants of territories, by Bort • PARTE, to his family and favourites. He has created his elder brother, JOSEPH, King of Na ples and Sicily. To his yraungest and favour. ite sister, Pt ot yr: t, ei•drrane Madame la Ct►.sc, now Princess Boiinitese, and her hus band, he has given the Duchy of Guestella.— The Principality of Neufchatel is conferred upon his old and faithful companion, General Blts• TRIM Massa, Carnano, and Cafarnano, are to be united tit Lucca. and erefted into a Principality. Parma and Piacenza are to he divided into three Principalities or Duchies. Twelve fieti or feudal Duchies Are created in the Venetian territories, and six in the Nzapolitan. Tha Venetian Duelies are Dalmatia, Is:rie. the FriOtll, Ca fora, Beliuno, Conegliano, Treviso, lehre, Bassano, Vicenza, Padua. and Rosily. The Generals and favourites who are to enj ty these new titles and posses , ions, aye not =motioned. So tootcll fur Lis ehanzes in the •Iiir••••• Sent!,. itererlo:innary spirit is not less ;nice, so far as his power anA iplluente :s•end. in thi North —Tie cold and heavy Germans ate mote 'to skip about irsirli a:I the alertness and aiflivity of the Ita lians. The Archduke rEurais.ANts orss trans ferred. :)), the Peace of Prerburgii, horn Saliz:iiirgli to Wtprzhorgh ; that arrangern.•nt has not been found convenient. lie is now, it seems, to be put its possession of the Principtlity of 1:1111.1 4, the last oc cupier of which. the Prilice of Oa seat. is to be compensated with the Bishopric of Osnsburgh.— There is something ludicrous in the title of king of Naples and Sicily conferred upon lir ther SEPH. Although by the last accounts Gaeta had not surrendered, the Fiends army is no doubt be fore this time in possession of the whole of that peninsula ; hut we have a coriderit expectation, that he will not be able to effeEl the cowies, of Sicily. There too is a narrow ditch which lis hordes miss: srst pass over, and there ton they will encounter British tars to interrupt their progfo<e. --The roan who once dud ten the hun'i sk:n,wh.le the Watt bred, was killed in huGtiog bias. A great part of the Neapolitan army has pro bably effatted its retreat into that island ; and, as we have stated in a preceding paragraph, a British force will shortly sail for its pootenion and defence. Rut his revol•rirn..ry spirit is not confined to Ger many. In his h , tindiess ambition he fancies that he already grasps all Turkey, Syria, Egypt. and a safe passage to India. For the commencement of this career, which he is now ore; :firing to run, he has colleted a large Arm) in Dalmatia ; but form. irately the only Sovereigo up , n the Continent able to co.lo•nd with him, stops the passage. and a Rus sian A: nty must be overcome, before he can plant ti:e walls of the Seraglio. 'l•he Em peror ALEIANDER, aware of his intsnAions, is taking the necessary precautions to defeat his purpose, and has already seized a very important port. By the 23.1 article of the Treaty of Presburg, the mouths of the Cattaro were to be ceded to France; the French troops were on their march to take posses. sion of them, but the Russians were beforehand with them; and, appearing suddenly before Rocca di Cal ibro, which commands the months of the Cat taro, snmmoned the Austrians to surrender it ; the Austrian Commandant immediately gave it up, al leging that he was not strong enough to defend it this measure is attended with a two-fold advan tage. It not only stops the progress of the Fr►ench troops, but it must also produce a coldness, if not an angry feeling, brt••een France and Austria. Marshal Nav's corps, 24,000 strong, has been ordered to march immediarily to Stockach, ar,d there wait for further orders. The Datch Papers mare not Cie least mention of th•.: proceedings of the Batavian Legislature. This silence tends to confirm the report, which stated, it the new plan of a constitutian, organised by ?I,ls Ar A RTC. did not prove palatable to the Dutch. It was reported yesterday, that an excharlte of prisoners was finally arranged and settled he.ween this country and France. A French privateer, on the 28th of last mrntli, eaytured two vessels laden with corn, off the bar kmur of Waterford, one of them the Fa. - •u , 11 , , be longing to that city. A numb.r of other vessvls, which had previously sailed from that harbour, were in sight, and considerable appsehensions are entertained for their safety.
