he had applied, were citizens and natives of the
United States."

On Satuiday the Petersburg and Richmond de-
tichments of infantry, under Major Ambler, cm.
harked on board of two vessels, on their return to
their reap dive
.places of residence ; the service not
requiring them to remain. longer here. On leaving
the harbour they were saluted by the Artillery Com-
pany, Forts Nels.,n and Norfolk, and cheered by the
Gbecarraks frigate.
We have nothing to inform onr distant readers,
respelling the operations of the British ships in the
bay; a part of them occasionally go out and return
again every day. They have not made any attempt
to land, or taken any steps respelling the ire per-
sons detained. Commodore Sir Thomas Hardy,
who now commands, behaves, as far as se can learn,
with great politeness to the vessels going out and
coming in, giving them no interruption.
It is to he regretted that Commodore Hardy had
not commanded from the commencement of this
affair. We think he would never have written sod:
a letter as that of Commodore Douglas, which has
been produaive of indignation scarcely short of that
pounced by the original outrage.

By a gentleman lately arrived front Trinidad, we
an informed, that Miranda was still at that plisse.
and that be was waiting for intelligence and anise-
ance from England, for the purpose of making a
turther attempt on the Spanish Maim Many are
of opinion that he has a British Commi,tion. and
ads under the orders of that Government. No ex-
pedition appears to be fitting ont from Trinidad for
the Main at present.
Yesterday was the time fixed for the trial of Col.
Burr, before the Circuit Court of the United States,

Captain Fitzhugh, of the schooner firlda4 and
Amur, who arrived yesterday from Norfolk, states,
that the account of an action between the American
frigate Coital,&ries and a British frigate is not true ;
And adds, that there had been no arrival at that
place from Malaga. The two British Officers and
three seamen, taken at Lynhaven B4y.have been re.
turned, by order of the President, to the ships to
which 'ley belonged.
The brig rpill4C, from Kingston, Jamaica, ar-
rived this day with ballast and bees wan ; off King-
ston spoke the brig President. of and for Akxandria,
from Kingston ; the Captain of which informed,
that he was boarded by a British frigate from La
Vets Crux, with two minions of dollars on board.
Captain Abed informs, that previous to his sailing,
a British frigate had arrived with four millions, and
that an embargo was to take place immediately.—
Arrived this day, and at quarantine, the brig Samp-
son, Stout, of Kennebnnk. Guadeloupe, 16, ship
Snfreed, Lombatd.6l days from River Plate.
The account of Lieutenant Pike and his party be-
ivg cut off by the Indians, is totally unfounded.
The latest infnrmation, entitled to credit, states, that
his party, having missed their route, and passed
(tont the Red River to the Rio del Mute, in the
territory of Spain, had been arrested in their course,
in the month of February, by a detachment of
Spanish troops, and taken to Santa Fe. and thence
to Chihuahua, the residence of Governor Salcedo,
who bad treated them with great attention, and
given them liberty to return to the United States.—

Extra& of a Letter from the Havannah, dated
July IS, 1907, to a Gentleman in Washington:
—0 Unfortunately, Sir, I am under the disa-
greeable necessity to inform you that the yillow
fever and black vomit rage violently amongst the
crews of our vessels, and some of the citizen of the
United States who are now in this city.
I have not heard that any ether class of peo-
ple have been attainted with this horrid distem-
per. Whether it be owing to their intemperate
manner of living. which has been sometimes car-
ried to excess even here, and in the most fatal season
of the year. is what I cannot undertake to say ; but
I fear that example and danger will not teach ma-
ny of my countr> men to be more moderate even in
this critical moment, than at any other period."
