COLOMNIAN CAPTUIES.—The cruises Oillttii4icni;-bia
public continue to cut up the trade of Old Spain. We learn, that
on the Ist of November the Colombian brig of war Aguila, cap.
tured, in sight of the Moro Cattle, the Spanish ship Alvear from
Corunna bound to the Havannalt, with a full and very rich cargo.
The Alveet is a superb ship, American built, in excellent condi-
tion, measures 120 test on deck, and bad a large crew ; 40 of her
crew had been landed at Matanzas, and 11 more of her hands were
put on board a schooner bound to flavannah. She is reported in
every respect as a very valuable prize. She WAS put in charge of
Capt. Edward Num:Union, ar.d onlered to Porto Caren°, the
Aguila hsving first convoyed her safely through theUulf, and part.
in g with her iu lu. 27. long. 62.
Three days previous to the capture of this corvette, the Aguila
took a Spanish schooner of about one hundred and twenty tons,
with a full cargo of dry goods. The Aguila is at present corn.
mended by Captain W. Anderson, who is represented as remarkably
saecessftil in cuffing up the Spanish trade, having captured within
a few days after he sailed from Purto Covello three very rich prizes.
PIirLADELPHIA. DEC. 20.
The brig Alisana, arrived at Baltimore in thirteen days from
Laguna, informs thata French brig of War had arrived there 'to de.
'nand satisfaction for an insult offered to ene of the French vessels
of war. The Venezuela, Capt. Chitty, a Colombian corvette, while
cruising off Carthagena, fell In with the French brig of war Gazelle,
bound to Martinique, and not liking her Rope-trance, t rdercd the
Captain on hoard with his papers, with which complied without
the least resistance, although of equal force; but on his arrival at
Martinique, he ass expelled the navy. A French fleet was ex-
pected at Laguira, to inquire into the business.

LATEST FROX BUENOS AYRES AND Phila-
delphia Aurora has the following information, received by the ship
Georgian, Captain Bancroft, at that port. in fifty-five days from
humus Ayres;—Captain B. informs that Deputies from most of
the pmvincts of Rio de la Plata had been elected, several of whom
had been received at Bnenos Ayres, and the General Congress, it
was supposed, would assemble in November. A salute was tired
on the day previous to the sailing of the Georgian, ou the receipt of
the news of the victory of Junin, gained by the cavalry of General
Bolivar. The country was comiiderably disturbed by the Pampos
Indians. in consequence of which travelling in the interior sat ren-
dered extremely dangerous ; bat the Government was making ae-
tin preparations to send a somewhat formidable expedition against
them, notwitlntruxling they had been unfortunate in two former
ones. News had been received of some trifling advantages having
been gained over the Indians. A revolution took place at Metislitea
in favour of the republican party in July ; previous to that, the
partisans of monarchy had united in deceiving the ignorant, under
the pretext that their religion v•as in danger, and they had suc-
ceeded so far as to put a stop to schools and every thing connected
with the improvement of the mind, when the fortunate revolution
took place, through the exertions of the young teen, and some of
the aged -who were of niore liberal views. 'I he only unfortunate
event was the surrendering of the Ex-Cksvernor, who has been
despotically placed in power. In Chili things had taken a favour- I
able turn. The liberal party are decidedly triumphant. The
Bishop, who had always been opposed to the revolution, has been
banished, and even the Pope's Nuncio has become a liberal,
having been gained over to the popular party. In consequence of
this, be is making great refomtations in the church on both sides of
the Andes, curtailing the number of least days, and secularising
the friars, as fast as possible.
ilesext.—The last intelligence front this Island represents the
state of the times there as such that an able-bodied man and his
wife, by conducting a coffee plantation, earn only 6itj dollars a
year. ender such circumstances, it might be well supposed that I
man) of the emigrants from this country would be anxious to re-
turn ; but this liberty is not allowed them, istscial notice having
been given that the moat vigorous measures will be Ina in force
against vessels detected in carrying away Haytiena or emigrants
from the Ward, and that, its the event of the fact not being disco-
vered until after the departure of the vessel, the consignees will be
held responsible.
