lope, before it arrives, that tranquillity will have established her '

driver (who was the chief ringleader) was taken on Saturday, and
that the remainder, consisting of nineteen of the Argyle estate pro.

thought that, by this time, the whole have returned to their duty.
Too much praise cannot be bestowed on the pains and anxiety that
Colonel Moffatt has taken to facilitate every communication, and

EXTRACT OF • LETTER. FROM MONTEGO DAT, DATED
TUESDAY SOON, JUNE. 22.
The sloop Tom Paine, Suoneve, which was taken on the coast
of Cuba, arrived here this day with all her crew. One of the King's
schooners has just anchored; by her we learn that the Lion has
just succeeded in capturing two others of the pirates that plundered
Mr. Dolphin's veseel. There are now in the gaol here RI of the
revolters, and the Brown Company (7th) of this Regiment, are to
march in haste from hence to the woods, where come of the raids
are supposed to be concealed.
EXTRACT OF • LETTER FROM PAVAN NAH•LA-MAR, BATED,
TIIE 221, INITAXT.
There has been no communication from Argyle aide since Satur-
day last, but there are rumours of a mint unpleasant nature relative
to the Sables in this and the neighbouring parish to windward ; in
fact, the cloud seems to gather instead of dispersing. A most de-
termined villain is just now going up the stairs of our Court-llouse,
to be put under guard till the Itlemstrates meet. Ile was chased
by a Paradise • negro from thence till he reached near Mr. Coote's,
about thr eetuiles to the north of Savannah-la-liar, and made •dm-
perate defence. lie had on when taken too hats of straw—the
under one with a black cockade. Ile acknowledged himself to be
one of the conspirattws. His examination is not yet taken, and I
doubt if they will elicit any thing from him.

We arc informed, on the best authority, that the French
Ambassador in London, has acquainted our Government,
that he has received information from of Peace bay-
ing been negotiated and concluded between this country and
the Dry of Algiers. Wc understand the information has
been communicated to Lord Melville, who has been star-
lug with his family at Ityde, since his return from
official visit to Plymouth.—llangohi,e Telegraph.
The fall of Ipsara is in some accounts attributed to thel
treachery of the Albanians. The Capitan l'acha succeeded
at Ipsara, it appears, by corruption. Supplied, while at My-
telene, where he lay inactive for two months, with funds
from Leghorn, he succeeded in corrupting 1,500 Albanian
Schypetara, to whom the batteries that protected Ipsara
were entrusted, and whom the promise of a 1,000 piastres
each sudtterll from their faith. On the Caplan Partin,
and his squadron appearing before the island, the batteries
were silent, and the forts garrisoned by the Albanians
abandoned without a shot. ll'hen the ()mantis lauded,
the perfidious Schypetara were their first victims.

In the last Colombian papers there is rather a singular
correspondence. Some anonymous incendiary addressed a
letter to Gt nerd Nes on his arrival at Caracas to the fol-
lowing effect :
" SEsosi PAEZ—Every one knows that Bolivar has de-
manded from you the troops that are destined to protect this departs
meat, in order that they may proceed to Peru, and become the vies
tiros of his plans for the overthrow of liberty.
" We await your arrival here, in order to know whether you are
one of his infamous accomplices. or a true patriot. By sending the
troops you will approve yourself the one, and by refusing them the
uthcr.
" Remember the ridiculous game which the farcical Iturhide
played. ".1 COLOMBIAN."
General Paez, instead of treating the attack of this
cowardly traitor with silent contempt. published a long re-
ply In vindication of the designs of the Liberator, and of
his own character.
