ERII 'A V PAPERS.

Last night we received tiles of New York, Baltimore,
Washington, Plillade!phia, and Boston Papers, to the 25th
tilt.; their contents are uninteresting. A private letter
from N'w York, dated September '2t, says, " It! Witt

Clinton !:is been nominated Governor of the State of
New York, by a Convention held at Utica on the ?id
instant, and there is no doubt of his election."
LA FA YET TlC.—While passing the scene of Arnold's treason,
General La Fayette related, very minutely, all the circumstances
Connected with that affair. Washington, with many other officers,
arrived M Areehrs house, on the day of his escape. Intelligence
of the arrest of Andre, and the treason of Arnold, was communi-
cated to IVashington a fcw minutes before dinner. lie mentioned
it to ha Fayette, Hamilton, and Knox only. At dinner it was ob-
served that General and Mrs. Arnold were both absent. After din-
err the intelligence spread rapidly, and a council of the riener4l
Officers were called, at which General Knox, the junior ntigadiur,
was first asked by Washington what ought to be dime. Ilentral
Knox, with great gravity that something should he done to prevent
the desertion of Major-Generals.

11AVASA.—fly an arrival at Charleston, accounts have been re-
ceived front Ilavana to the 6th instant, by which it is ascertained
that Rodrigues, who had pmclainied the Constitution at Matanzas,
had not then been apprehended. The Charleston papers say that
" sonic very extravagant rumours were iu circulation about him,
but they were not generally believed."
SALEM. SEPT. 14.
The brig Augusta, Rogers, has arrived at Quarantine, in 13 days
front Havana.

Thera is as much danger from pirates now, round the island of
Cuba, as there has been at any time before. Scarcely a vessel
passes the Ilithamas but is molested or chased by them, and at the
present moment the wrecks of It vessels lie on the coast of Cubs,
between Muriel and the Bay of 'font's, an extent of coast not ex-
ceeding 40 miles.
" nitre is not the smallest doubt," says Capt. Rogers, " that
piracy is countenanced by many merchants at Havana, and that •
complete system is arranged amongst them. I have heard several
Spanish gentlemen say, and I hebeve it is the opinion of the moat
of them, that piracy un our vessels is a justifiable reprisal for the
assistance given by our comm.) men to the Colombians, and the
only means they have of redress."
IIAYTI.-I...tturS have been received from sonic coloured end.
!rants from this country. who speak in the highest terms of their
reetption at Hayti by President Royer. and Secretary Inginac.
lu the Caraceas Colonibi illa of the' sth ult. received by the Ye-
Incite de, we find a few articles worthy of a summary notice.
A freebooter named I'Asneros was committing ravages in the ral-
lies of Tuy. Ilia timer was small, but sufficient to prevent planters
Crum resiihng on their estates, and thus depress the agriculture and
prosperity of the country. It was suggested that a fund be raised
tic be deposited in the hands of a Committee for the benefit of any
one who should bring him in either dead or alive.
An unusual degree of sickness was prevailing in the tallies of
A resort and 31aracay, supposed to be occasioned by the failure of
the last corn crop, which had so much enhanced the price as to
compel the inhabitants to have recourse to unwholesome food for
their support.
The troops about to reinforce our army in Peru, are expected,
says the Colombian°, to leave Puerto (:abello for the Isthmus, on
the 2.ith instant. The l'uniana division had already arrived at
Puerto l'aliello, under the command of Colonel Monagas, and the
total amount of troops about to embark, is near four thousand. An
equal ttint:her, we understand, will join them in Carthagena, un-
der the command of Oeneral Valero.

POYAIS.

In the Colombian papers that reached us yesterday, we
find the following Decree of the Colombian Government,
respecting the " territory of Poyais." We observed some
time ago that this intended principality was included
within the limits of the new States; and w. expressed our
conviction that they would, when their attention was drawn
to the subject, speedily put an end to the schemes of Mac-
Gregor and his coadjutors. The following document must
finally, and ftir ever, close the hopes of the public creditors
of Poyais. Will it be possible after this to do the bonds
at half-a•crown per ccni.? We have been told (hut we
cannot say " upon lib highest authority,") that the
patents of the Poyaisiat nobility, the credentials of the Ca-
cique's Ambassadors, the stars and ribbons of the Poy-
aisitin military order of the Green Cross, a collection of the
bank notes issued at royals, and guard. srdf: of the bonds
issued in London, have passed into the hands of a show-
man for public exhibition. Such a display would be more
than amusing. It would form the bitterest and hest satire
upon the supposed knowledge of the age. Southsea bub-
bles indeed! Why, the Company for making deal-boards
out of saw-dust, was a grave and sober project compared
to the Poyais fraud:—
