" Three Arrierican,vssels have been captured by. a Spanish
privateer, fitted out at St. John's, and carried into Piovince for •
a breach of blockade of the Spanish Main. Three more priva-
teers are fitting out at St. John's, for the purpose of captuting
all vessels that are trading to any of the ports in possession of
the Patriots, that are declared in a state of blockade. It is said
to be the determination of the Spanish Government not to ac-
knowledge the independence of any of the provinces of the
Main."

" It is much to be feared that the.crop. of. wheat .will be very
light this harvest, anti on the eastern- shore the fields th.sbare

fly and sedging. The average crop in Maryland cannot be
more than a half a crop from present appearance."

IRELAND.—Famine and pestilence continue
their ravages in this ill-fated country, the efforts
which have been made to check their destroyi
progress being still insufficient for the accour
plishment of that necessary and beneficent oh'
ject.—We are sorry to perceive that outrages are
still perpetrated on an extensive scale, though

some of the Papers received this morning an
nounce that a sincere disposition to surrender
their arms has at length been manifested by
part of the peasantry.—The following are
tracts :

It is computed' that .700. individuals are now in fever in tile-
County Clare. Pestilence, added to famine, is truly a eplo-
rable. Government have sent 4001. to erect small fever MO'
tals in different.parts of the county : 10001. have thiS week been
received by the Poor CoMmittee, and 30001. are promised
by
Government.—(Cork 'Mercantile Chronicle, July 1.)
