'hw Yont, APRIL 8 —Horrible Barbarity.—
Captain Robinson, arrived yesterday from New
Orleans, informs that the brig Perkins, of
Kennebunk, arrived at the Balite, on the 21st ult.
from Port-au:Prince and •.ampcachy. Captain
Robinson was informed that she was burled in
entering the harbour of Campeachy, by a piratical
schooner of about 40 tons, and manned by .10 or 40
men, who asked fur money, but Captain Perkins
denied having any. They then stabbed him in se-
veral places, and cut off one of his arms, when he
told them where the money was (200 doubloons,)
which they took, and pyoceeded to murder him in
the most inhuman manner. He was first deprived
of the other arm and one of his legs. They then
dipped oakum in oil, and put some in his mouth and
under him ; set it On 'fire and thus terminated his
sufferings! ! ! The mate was stabbed with a -sabre
in his thigh. They also robbed the brig of anchors
and cables, sails, rigging, quadrants, charts, books,
papers, and nearly all the provisions and water.—
Ou the passage from Campeachy to the Balize, she
was providentially supplied with provisions by seve-
ral vessels which she fell in with, or they must have
inevitably perished. The above brig was no doubt
the ikilisa►ius, Perkins, which sailed from Port-
au-Prince on the sth of February, fbr Campeachy."
NEW YORK, Mancit 24.—1 t is reported that
the British schooner Enterprise, from Matanzas to
Nassaa, has been taken by a boat from Matanzas,
and all on board murdered, except two females.
BALTIMORE, MARCH I.—Arrived the schooner
( /mirky, Myrick, 20 days from Ponce, Porto Rico.—
A French brig from the Spanish Main, with cocoa,
was brought in a prize a few days before the Charity
sailed. An English brig, from La Plata to Haven-.
rah, was brought in and condemned on the 28th
Fabruary. A private /loop of war and schooner
entered the harbour of Ponce by a flag of truce, and
demanded the restoration of the prizes lying in port,
which was refused, when the patriot vessels com-
menced a bottibatriment, Which lasted about an hour
when they hauled off and left the port. Captain
Myrick reported that Porto Rico privateers are still
capturing and condemning every thin., they tall in
with, trading to patriot ports or elsewhere.
MExico.--Capt Hawley, of the schooner Fame,
arrived at Philadelphia, states, that according to the
last reports received at Alvarado, from the interior
provinces, Puebla, Oxaia, and Vera Cruz have all
declared in favour of the liberal system of Govern-
ment, and that the Captain-General, Echavcra, was
at the city of Puebla, at the head of 5,000 men, and
would march immediately for the city of Mexico.
The Emperor was then in the city of Mexico, and
was said to-be fortifying it ; reports-say, that he also
had 5,000 men. 'lle castle of St. Jean de Ulloa
had been reinforced, and was still in possesslon of
the Royalists.
PERo.--•The expedition which sailed from Lima
in October, against Upper Peru, had arrived at dif-
ferent points of the coast; but having no means of
getting water and provisions, nor mules fi,r trans-
porta►ion, and withal being sickly, they would in an
probability be compelled to return to Lima. The
coast of Peru from Pisca south is a desert, and no
vegetation occurs within 40, and in must parts $0
miles of the coast, except in the small valleys
through which the rivers discharge; and at these
places, with the exception of Quilca and Arica,
there is no landing. The troops of the expedition
amounted to .1,000 (in 40 transports convoyed by a
frigate and two sloops of war), consisting of 800
Chilenos under General La Cruz, 800 Peruvians
under Colonel Miller, 1,200 Buenos-Ayreans under
General Alvarado, and 1,200 Colombians under
General —, the whole under the direction of Al-
varado.

of Jnajit consist of 2,500 fine men, and the advance
under that of Valdez of 1,000 men in the neigh-
' bourhood of Canete. No fears were entertained by
the Royalists in Upper Peru. The wind:: coast was
completely abandoned, and without the aid a mules
the Patriot army could never reach the first range
of the Cordilleras.
On the 29th of December a new commercial re-
gulation was eidinved in Lima to prevent all foreign
merchants from receiving consignments, and also to
prevent air ilireign vessels from Aniding frum one
part of the coast to another.

COURT OP COMMON COUNCIL.

On Friday a Special Court was held for the purpose of
receiving the final report of the Bridge, Home C sssss mit-
toe relative to Loudon Bridge. The Court was emwded
below the bar to excess, the subject having excited %cry
great interest in the city. After the routine of the busi-
ttess was gonerliroogli
Mr. Jones brought up the report of the Bridge House
Committee, which detailed the progress of the bill for
a new bridge, now in the Committee of the Honse of
Commons That committee had negatived the clause
allowing the city to build banks for the pioteetion of the
property west ward of the present Midge, ut case of an
overflow on its removal; but they agreed to a clause hi-
dentin fyinv the city for any damage it might stettaiu from
such a cause, and also indemnifying it in the event of
lie Midge remaining tinftuished. The committee halt
regulated that 12,9001. per annum, should be set aside
' from the Bridge House Funds, for the expences of the
managenieut, and for the payment of exisiing charges
upon the foods. The tondo. of this lit.oooi. (if an))

debts contracted uporsthearidge Hutwo Fonds for the
new undertaking. The committee had also negatived
the clause lOr raising the money far the undertaking upon
the credit of the port duties on coals and wine. The
Bridge !louse Committee had obtained a conference with
Lord Liverpool and the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
on the subject of the assistance which government might
give, antl were informed that government was willing to
advance•mouey at four per cent. hottest; and also to re-
mit time duties on the stone that might he-requisite.
After a debate on this report, it was-moved by Mr.
Oldham, that an adjournment should take place. This
was agreed to upon a division, wheu there appeared Mr
