liattr.tx, Jun,. 16.—1 t is asserted that it is not
the intention of Admiral Fuhie to visit this incle-
ment coast during the present summer. We can
•hardly believe that such is the fact. The naval yard
in this ,)lace is falling into decay, nuch mere rapidly
titan the }arsons vello proposed its abandonment
ruuld have anticipated; and as the cye:tione of the
naval Commander-in-chief and the squadron under
his direction must have a tendency to render more
_remote tie period of its destruction, and its it is the
duty of an officer holding such a command to pro-
tect the property of the public by cvely means in
his power, we feel satilied that a desire to preserve
the n.,v111 establishment in this town, us far as the
Admiral's presence can have that effect, will out-
weigh any attractions which the island of Bermuda
°can precut.
Letters fiam Ilavannah,'date.pl 29th May, state,
that in consequenee'of the want of naval protection,
thJ inland navigation was pearly destroyed, so nu-
merous were the privateer* and pirates, notwith-
standing the navy belonging to 'Cuba costs the Co-
lonial Government a million of dollars annually.—
The I„ri-ison of the Fort of St. John de Cloa, in
.front of Vent Cruz, was alsckdependent on Cuba ;
and this, together with Uman's division, composed
Inure of offis-ers than soldiers, and nmerous other
ranigrants front NAexieo, pressed very heavy on the
rvienne of the island.

Intelligence has been lately received from Holland
that La Lntine'Trigate, of 32 guns, which was cast
away on the outward bankof the Fly Island passage
in the year 1799, basleen lately discovered there,
bulled in the sands, but whole and entire; and it is
considered extremely probable that the immense
treasure lost in this ship may still be recovered. La
Lutine, commanded by Captain Skynner, had been
captured from the French in thexarly part of the
revolutionary .war, and was lost on the night of the
.9th of (ektober, 1799. She had on the same morn-
ing sailed from Yarmouth-road`, with several pas-
sengers, and an immense quantity of treasure; but
a strong h e tide -rendered every effort of Captain
'Skynner o avoid the threatenened.ilanger unavaila-
ble, and it. WAS alile impossible during she night. t-
receive any assistance from the Arrow, Capt. Port
.lock, which was in company, cr the shore, from
whence several sehuyts were in readiness to go to
her. When the dawn broke, La Ldine was.in vain
looked for ; she had gone to pieces us was supposed,
and all on hoard unfortunately perished, except.two
men, who were picked up, one of whom died from
the fatigue he had encountered; the survivor was
Mr: Shabracq, a notary public. In the annals of
naval history there has rarely been found a loss at-
tended with so much calamity, both of a public and
private nature. -The returns from the Bullion-office
made the whole amount to 600,000 &Alum, about
10,0001. sterling, in specie, which had been 41'4)-
ped.by individual merchants in this country, for•the
reli:f of different mercantile houses in Hamburgli;
there mere also several merchants aboard at the time
of the disaster. Should the hope of that treasure
being recovered be realized, it will be a mast fortu-
nate circumstance to the underwriters.
The Duke of Devonshire is expecteti at his seat,
Lismore, Ireland, by the end:of this month. His
Grace is erecting a superb mansion were, which gives
daily employment•to a great number of mu t.
By advices from Porto Rico we are informed of
the arrival at St. John's on the 30th ult. of his Ca-
tholie Majesty's brig of war Vengador, having on
board Don Francisco Linares and Don J. D. Dias,
the former appointed Civil Governor, and the latter
Intendant of that Island. By this .vessel .Brigadier
Sebastian Calzado, an old 'commander in Venezuela
and Santa re, has strived at Costa Firma, and is
appointed second in command to General Moraloi.—
Orders have been sent to Havannali to remit 30,000
dollars monthly to Morales.
Ex Ix wriouv.—On Wednesday last were execute&
at Bury, pursuant to their sentence at the !art assizes, James
Phillips and John Wade, fur a burglary at Radleigh in Sufflk.
Soon athir twelve o'clock the unfortunate culprits ascended the
fatal scaffold, having devoutly joined in prayer with the Rev.
Situ kin„.,, chaplain to the gaul. he executioner now began
the last, painful ceremony, and having adjusted the rope and
pulled the cap aver the face of one of the criminals, the drop on
a madden accidentally fell, and precipitate i the gaoler, hangman,
and the other miserattie sufferer to the ground, who, being
pinioned, received a severe blow against the wall of the prison.
The man who was tied np died instantaneously. The horror
occasioned by this accident wan extreme, mud the surviving pri-
soner was compelled to await Ms fate at least 20 minutes, till
a temporary platirnrin was raised, when the executioner per-
formed the like sad ceremony upon him, end he wan launched
into sternity. The feelings of the
.spectators can be better
imagined than described.

OBN EXCHANGE, MONDAY. Auo. 12.
There is the extraordinary large supply of 110.624 quarters of
Wlitat quoted in the list of arrivals since Monday hem New
Wheat, which was sparingly offered,and wl.kh first obtimied the
high price of 635., has, in consequence of the large quantity since
sent, fallen to .s6s.. which is the oigliest price we MU quote it this
day. Wheat of all descriptions may be quoted full as. per qr.
lower than on Mayday last, and at this reduction sales are un..
commonly heavy. The best Old Wheat in the market on that
day obtained hue. at the close, but the very superior this morn.
ing has been offered at s.s. a SC& and refused at the latter price.
There is no alteration in Barley since Friday. the supply not
being very large. Of Oats there is a very considerable quantity.
and this artic:e is expected to mile down a tride. In Beans and
Peas o.:ere is no variation, but sales are very heavy. There is
sonic talk of a fall in Flour, which is expected towards the cruse
—at present the best may be quoted at 30s.

COHN EXCHANGE, %Vs:nimatiar, AUG. LC
As we anticipated in our letter of Monday, at the close ul the
market on that e.ay Flour su tallied a reduction of ss. This day
there is nothing doing on the Corn Exchange, the market is
completely overwhelmed with the large supply, almost the whole
of which was left over Monday's market. We cannot quote
Wheat otherwise than it was on londay,..but there is not the
slightest demand for any description of this article. A little has
been done in Barley, at our last quotations. Oats are withot.t
variation in price, and also without demand. Beans and Peas
may be quoted the same as on Monday, but nothing is doing in
these articles. The market is, in tact, entirely batten of buyers,
and die quantity a Wheat on hand is immense.
