INGSTONT, JUNO 19.—Accounts from Salt- Gut, in St. Mary's, dated the 15th itoit. state that a Portuguese schooner, called the San Antonio, had been seized - by the Officers of the Customs. It appeared from what could be ascertained that she had beery originally from Maranham to Para, in the Braiils, but was captured by api ivateer tinder the Orietoal fluv,, fitted out at St. Thomas's by an Englishman of the name of Mason, and commanded by an American named Ford, or Walker, who sailed under a commission purchased from Artigas. On hoard of the San Antonio there had been 54 slaves, eleven of whom died on the passage ; there were also some dry goods, of British manufacture, supposed to have been plun dered from different vessels : The slaves had been taken out of a Spanish Goineaman. There was not a single paper found on board, but two white men were secured on suspicion of piracy. Four of her people escaped in a boat belonging to the ship Middlesex, lying at Oracabessa, one of whom was afteresattlr taken. Thee crew, it was said, were all natives of Great Britain, with the excep tion of the two Portuguese, found in the San Antonio. Every one on board were in the most miserable state from the want of food and water. The negroes had been landed, but one of them died soon after. The Prize-Master said, that he had endeavoured, but could not eel to windward, and was latterly making for the Caymanas. SEDITIOUS MEETING. " VNIVER. I AL CIVIL AN!) RELIGIOUS' LIBERTY.

DENNIS SIIAW, Secretary•" DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT THE SRATOYSIR JuHN LEICESTER, IN CHRSHIVIC. We sincerely regret to state the unfortunate and greatly to be deplored occurrence. of part of the magnificent spat of that truly worthy and 'olives-- sally respi'cted character, Sir JOHN LEICESTER, at Tat ley, in Cheshire, having, in the course of Fri day ni g ht l a st, been consumed by fire. with the whole of the extensive offices of every description. An express annotmcing this lamentable fact reach ed Liverpool on Saturday Ids!, near which place Sir JOHN and his amiable Lady- have for some weeks resided, in consequence of the sea stir being prescribed for the benefit of her Ladyship's health Our Correspondetit informs ii , that such %vas the destructive force of the flones, that nothing but the extraordinary and unprecedented exertions of the neighbouring tenantry, made at the imminent risk of their lives, could have saved the whole of the splendid mansion from falling a prey to the fury of the devouring element, From, what cause the fire originated is at present unknow n ; but front the great and well•merited popularity of S:e JOHN among all ranks, there is not even the slightest groudd for surmise that an event which is so deeply deplored by the whole neighbour hood could have arken from any thing else than mere accident.—(Morning Post.) CAUTION TO BATHERS.—TWO melancholy ElC cifients happened on Saturday, which may be fairly attributed to the fatal effects of immersion in cold water when the body is more than usually heated in the pregent WElrtm kveather. o f the workmen at Cleland Iron Works, Glasg3w, stripped ptnii plunged into the reservoir, and did not again appear until he was taken out lifeless.

THE PRINCE REGEN EXcURSION. POWtSMoUTH„ D itYG. B.—The Royal George yacht, having his Royal Highness the hts:cat REGENT and suite on board, this morning went through Spithead to the westward, attended by his Majesty's ships Hyperion, Hind, and Came term. As so,n as the yacht came within the usual mark for saluting, a Royal salute was fired from all the ships at Spithead, who had their yards manned. The men continued on the yards till the yacht had passed them, each ship firing a second Royal salute. Royal salutes were also fired in this garrison, at Cutubtrl:thil. Monck ton, and Blockhouse Forts, and Southsea Castle. It was almost calm, and the yacht was in sight of Portsmouth near five hours. , The platform and beach were lined with people, in hop, s of seeing his Royal Highness land. Admiral , Sir George Campbell, Contlillander-in-Cliiet, Went Off in his barge, with his flag flying, accompanied by( Lord Howaid. The Hou. Commissioner Sir George Grey, !Lat. also went off in his barge to pay his respects to his Royal Highness. His Majesty's ship Blo,som, Captain Hickey, which has so often been mentioned rn the Papers as having a very considerable quantity of specie on board, arrived this day with it from South America. A signal was made, from ihe Royal George for Captain Hickey to r,p,ir thither, for the information of die Prince Regent. Commodore Sir G. Collier, who arrired List night from the West Indies, sent on board the Royal George yacht, as she passed through Spit bead, a very fine turtle for his Royal Highness. Algerine Ambassador was to have embark ed to-day, but as the standard seas flying at Spit h.2ad, be could not be saluted, therefore rye deterred going on board until tomorrow morning,. A Gen tleman who has just landed, and seen the Prince Regent, says he in ver looked better, and is in high spirits. He was thessed in a plain blue coat, white waistcoat, and and a fOrao , .g cap. A number of Gentlemen's pleasure vessels are getting under weigh to . tollow the l'unce Re gent to Plymouth. • Prince .Esterbazy arrived at the Fountain at twelve o'clock, from Brighton. GROSS All l'A LION. Some insidious endeavours have been lately made to impress upon the italic mind the- notion, that Lord CASTLEREaGra has esablislied, fur the first time, certain regulations respecting passplts front the Foreign Office, by which his Lordship adds 14,0001. a year to his income ! There is just as witch truth in this, as in most ot the hackneyed calumnies against Mihisters, generally, 410 the Noble-Lord in particular. So far from the existing regular ions being new, they have existed for above a hundred years. 'Die practice of charging- tot passports has prevailed, as appears by the official registers, as tar back as the year 1710—just one hundred and ulne years ago. The tee then paid for them Was 21..25. 6d ; that which is now phi, is 21. is. 6d. the additional five shillings being created by the stamp duty. So much fur the novelty of the practice. But then, ‘ve ate told, that all the money goes into Loud CaSTLRIIIIAQH'S locket. Tim is another falsehood. Nut one penny of it is received by his Lordship, ei; her di rectly or indhecily. As far bask as the year 1795, Mr. PITT made a regulation upon this Sub ject. Before that period, these fees were the per quisites of the chief ; but Mr. ['ITT in. et eased their salaries, .and established a fee fund, into which ail fees are paid, This fund is made applicable to the general t.xpenceS of the' &part - ment, the remainder being supplied out ,of the Consolidated Fund. • • - 'the following statement will show the wanton and dilcreditahle exaggeraiious which have, beet! employed :--- Total alllOUllt of Passports granted by Viscount castle rea_q!"frein the est h February, 1814, (the date of his appoint ment .as his Meajesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs) to the 7th of August, 18:9, a great proportion of whidi were given to messengers, couriers, and othee persons employed abroad on the public service Total number granted by Hint previously to the Ist of January, 181 9 Total number granted as above,. from Ist of January to 7tik of August, 1819 ' 331 It may be limber observed, that none of his Mjesty's subjects are required to take out pas,- ports on going abroad, and they are , only granted on special applications from petsons of known respectability and good character. The recent regulations which have been made by t he Neiber land Fetibassy respecting the passport- have been taken without any concert with the Bri , ish Go vernment, which can have no contronl over any regulations that the Netherland, or ally Foreign Mission, may judge it expedient to adopt for granting their li,spf.ri3.—(Morning Post.)
