morning, in company with about '2O sail. The ship
fiaotia, from the ilavannah for Rost sn, on Thurs-
day night, at anchor under the westernmost of the
Illiizabetit 'viands, was driven ashore, and went to
pieces, and one man perished. 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. The brig Aerera, Ropes, of is port, is
ashore at the Vineyard Sound, and we are sorry to
hear is bilged. Capt. B. informs that the insurrec-
tion ef the Negroes still continued, and that it was
said that thiutsands in the interior were in rebellion.

erh.im were put to death, some cropped in the ears,
and .n•ne whipped. Among the captives was one
of their kings, who threw himself tiom the scaffold

neck. Another was disci-iv if-ed. whom they were
in dirrsuit of. 'use whites had knowledge of the in-
surredion being intended, previous to its breaking
cut, through the regard a young Negro had for his
master. Christmas-day was fixed on as the time,
and this fellow applied to a pers )n to we ite a letter
to his master, to advise bins to take care of himself,

men that day he would be murdered. Tl,is led to

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 Ze410114 it our cause. hs Wa.
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 result 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.R. We shall bye and bye get to the marrow
of this business."-i—atiorrea.
