PLYMOUTH, DEC. 29.—The Stanmer packet
rived on Wednesday, at Falmouth, seven days
Lisbon. No attempt had been made to raise
money for the loan, from the English residents
the Portuguese had been compelled to assist, s!
consequence great discontent prevailed in Li'

The Beagle surveying-vessel, which had peal/
again, sailed on Tuesday for South America.

Pike, Hermes steam-vessel, Prince Regent troll
Diligence and Supply naval transports.

The Lyra packet, Lieut. St. John, arrived et!
mouth on Wednesday, from Brazil, left Rio the '
October, and Cape Frio the 26th, with the
and specie, 100,000 dollars from the wreck of
Thetis frigate ; the Lightning steamer still coati°
her operations on the wreck.

The Hermes steamer, Lieut. Kennedy, sic
the same day from the Mediterranean, left Gib°
the 13th and Cadiz the 11th December.
rlllO
from Cadiz, we learn that the Spanish Gene
rijos, with about sixty of his followers, who
secreted themselves in Gibraltar, had been dsei ,
by the Spaniards into the neighbourhood of P.
where they were soon surrounded by troops, tt
prisoners, and shot, on or about the 11th insvi
among them was an Englishman, who had igioo,
Liberals at Gibraltar. The Hermes spoke the
senger, Lieut. Aplin, on the 15th, off Lisbon;
had experienced much bad weather, paddlriii
damaged, and one seaman washed overboard.,

The Fair Rosamond and Black Joke, tend°
the Dryad frigate, have captured three slave ce:
which originally had 1,100 slaves on board,
which they succeeded in taking only 306 to
Leone. It appears the Fair Rosamond h'
tured a lugger with 106 Africans, and shortll
wards saw the Black Joke in chase of the tv/13.,°
tuggers; she joined in the pursuit, but the /r,
succeeded in getting into the Bonny River'
landed 600 slaves before the tenders could tsicei
session of them. They found on board 014 i
but ascertained that the rascals in commander
slavers had thrown overboard ISO slaves, inallo
together, four of whom only were picked of
the irons upon them.
