ARRIVAL OF THE PACKET SHIP GARRICK.
LIVERPOOL, Nov. 13.—The Garrick arrived
here this morning shortly before eleven o'clock.
She was telegraphed yesterday as having passed
Holyhead in the afternoon, and the storm which
set in at night preventing her arrival, serious
fears for her safety were entertained. The Gar-
. ick Was wrecked off Sandyhook some twelve
montliS since, while going into New York, owing
to a Sudden- storm arising, and it was feared she
would have gone to pieces. She, however, rode
out the storm of last night triumphantly, and
arrived this morning in excellent condition.
, The most important event noticed in the
papers, is the death of Mr. John Forsyth; • Fo-
reign Secretary during the Presidency of Van
Buren. The deceased expired at Washington,
after an illness of three weeks, from congestive
fever, and his death is the subject of general
regret amongst all parties in the Union. Mr.
Forsyth filled at various periods influential situa-
tions in the American Republic. He was a man
of considerable talent.
At new Orleans the mortality was on the in-
crease. The yellow fever was more virulent
than it had been for several previous years.
During the week ending:October 11, the number
of deaths amounted to 188, of which number 118
had been carried off by yellow fever.
The .steataertoluthbia; Which carried' Out•tord
:Morpeth, arrived' at:Halifaxafter 'a AtOisterotiS
passage of something MoYe than fifteen. days.
The same steamer, would sail again the 3d inst„
and may be looked for to,ruorrow. ,She. -was
generally expected to have made her appearance
here to-day; the wind having been so much in
her faVour.. The intelligence by the. in-comingi
steamer will. only be five days later fromrNemr!
York than that brought to-day by the Garrick,'
which brought news six days later than =by the
last arrival.
M‘Leod bad arrived at St. John's. All the
accounts of his having left for England prove,
therefore, incorrect.
The Americans are paying high compliments
to the Prince Joinville. He was visiting Boston,
and the good citizens were putting themselves
to extraordinary pains to give him a suitable
reception.
The Money Market had rather improved.
A large amount of Stock Securities had been sold
previous to. the departure of the Garrick, at
advanced prices. The principal sales of other
descriptions of Stock were Delaware and Hud-
son; United States Bank, and Harlem; which
improved considerably upon the sales given in
the last accounts.
The accounts from Europe do not seem to in-
fluence stock transactions generally, to any ex-
tent, though it is the prevailing opinion that
monetary affairs there have now reached the
very lowest point, and any change must be of a
favourable character.
FRO:',I FLORIDA.
EAST FLORIDA, OCT. 5, 1841.—Indian murders are
more frequent in this section of the country than they
have been for a year past. Some one is shot on the
Palatka road on an average twice a week. Five distinct
attacks have been made within three weeks, and more
than that number of individuals killed. Captain Beach,
you have probably heard, was killed on the Ist inst.,
near the Horse Hole. He was much respected, and has
left a wife and family.
PELATKA, OCT. 6.--We have just heard that the In-
dians have driven off the cattle belonging to Fortßussell.
The whole command is out in pursuit. Lieut. Patten,
who had
.been out with only seven men, returned for a
reinforcement; reporting that he had found the trail, and
one of the cattle was lying dead upon it. Lieut. Penrose
left the fl-srt this morning with fifty men. Lieuts. Lovell
and Patrick have crossed the Ocklawaha, in hopes of in-
tercepting the marauding band, which is doubtless that
of Halleck Tustentiggee.•
SOUTII AMERICA.
A letter from Lima, in the Phil U. S. Gazette, under
date of July.lo, says that the province of Puiza was in
a state of revolution, and the Peruvian General Castilo
assassinated. A complete revolution has also taken place
in Bolivia, in favour of General Santa Cruz, but without
bloodshed. At LiMa they were getting up a small navy
and increasing the army, with a view, it is said, to a de-
claration of war with Equadore and Bolivia. General
Flores, President of Equadore, has a veteran army of
3,000 Colombians under his command, and, united with
Bolivia, he could bring against General Gamarrao some
10,000 or 12,000 men, which would oblige him to appeal
to Chili for aid. The Chilians have reduced their army
to about 3,000, but increased their navy by the addition
of a beautiful 48-gun frigate, built for them in France,
besides several fine gun brigs and schooners. This would
effectually blockade the river Guayaquil, and the only
seaport of Bolivia, Cobiji. If the one does not declare
war, the other is very likely to, so there will doubtless
be another broil at any rate.
The net of the death of President Harrison had just
reached Lima. The United States frigate Constitution
was to sail on the 11th, in the full expectation that there
was to be a war between us and Great Britain, and " all
hands ready for a fight."
FROM PENSAV COLA.
A correspondent of the Army and Navy Chronicle,
under date of October 1, gives some melancholy particu-
lars of the ravages of the yellow fever, at Pensacola :
" The French frigate Sabine and brig Dunois were
anchored mid Way between the hospital and navy-yard.
They have lost eight or ten of their seamen. Commo-
dore Dallas offered them a vacant building in the hos-
pital, where they now have abont 15 or 18 cases, under
charge of Dr. Hulse, surgeon of the hospital. Dr.
Hulse has been most fortunate in the treatment of this
fever ; out of 108 cases from the Levant, he has lost but
six. M. De Wolff, Consul for the Netherlands for Mo-
bile, a young man of most pleasing.manners; an accom-
plished scholar and perfeCt gentleman, came to spend a
few weeks in a place reputed to be universally healthy.
After a short adjourn he was taken with the prevailing
fever, which in a few days carried him off. Within a
few hours after him, in the same house, his friend and
companion, M. Shultz, an officer in the French army,
followed,
" OCT. 2 —This morning, at eight, Dr. Michel, fleet-
surgeon, attached to the French frigate Sabine, breathed
his last at the hospital, after an illness of three days
only. At five, P.m., his remains were followed to the
grave by the officers .of the French squadron, and those
of the Levant and Navy-yard ; the yard band performing
the Dead March at the head of the procession, the whole
escorted by the Marine Guard. As the earth fell on
the coffin, three volleys were fired by the marines.
" The fever is somewhat on the decline. The Levant
will be out of service for some months, as the malaria is'
so violent on board that it will be some time after frost
before they will venture to break her out. The officers
and men are recovering slowly, looking much worsted
after their sufferings."
HAYTI.
Accounts from Jamaica state that it is probable a re-
volution will soon take place with a view to overthrow
the despotism which exists under President Boyer in
Hayti.
A gentleman who has visited the latter island informs
us that the Government, though nominally a Republic,
is in reality military and despotic.
There is a senate chosen for six years, we think, by
general suffrage. But the people must hoose the sena-
tors out of a list of double the number, which list is se-
lected by the President, who holds his own office for life.
.Notwithstanding this advantage possessed by the Pre-
sident, the Senate has shown a somewhat refractory dis-
position towards him, in which feeling a great majority
of the people participate.
President Boyer has become enormously wealthy by
his salary, his trade, and his exertions. His chief ad-
viser is Ine'inx, Secretary of State, who came near being
assassinated some three years since. Boyer and Inginae
are both mulattos, as aro a majority of the public officers,
while a majority of the people are black. The blacks
are most discontented with the Government. When In-
ginm appears on horseback, in public, he has two black
men accompanying him, one on each side, either so as to
appear to favour the blacks with his confidence, or so
as to deter that class from shooting at him, lest they
should kill one of their own complexion, instead of the
object of their hate.

FLANDERS and HAMBURGI! MAIL
BRUSSELS, Nov. 11.—The average prices of whea
last week were 22f. 39c,; that of rye, 12f. 93c.
An extraordinary courier . has arrived here this
morning with the news that the Queen of Great Britain
was safely delivered of a Prince on the 9th of November
in the morning.
On Tuesday, General Vandermurren underwent
another examination for more than two hours before
Mr. Delcourt, the examining Judge. The vigilance
which is exercised. with respect to the persons accused
of a plot against the safety of the State extends:even to
the provisions which are brought for them. They are
cut into pieces in order to be seen that no letter is con-
cealed in them.
On Thursday evening at eight o'clock a conspirator
named Geaux, was imprisoned in the Petite Canner, on
suspicion of having been. engaged in the plot against the
safety of the State.
Several searches relative to the plot were made yester-
day. In the house where the wounded of SepteMber
met twenty muskets were seized.
KoNixosiit IiGIFI, OCT. 31.—We now hear more fre-
quently thau formerly of serious collisions on the fron-
tier with our. Russian neighbours. About sixty persons,
men and we men, 'of the Roman Catholic religion, lately
went from the Prussian frontier town of Neidenburgh to
a Roman Catholic, situated at no great distance- in the
Russian, as had been done before on holidays, because
there is no Catholic church at Neidenburgh, or in adjacent
Prussian territory. On reaching the place they were sud-
denly surrounded by Russian police-officers and soldiers,
made prisoners, and confined in a stable. Thirty-three
of them contrived to escape, and through patl)less
forests to return to Prussia. M. Von Peguilhen, the
the district Magistrate, being informed by them of what
bad htppened, rode immediately oiler the frontier, and
demar ded of the Russian authorities the liberation of
the pi isomers arrested. Not deterred by the impertinent
and officious conduct of the Russian inferior officers,
thcugh long detained by evations, he at length by his
rem olute behaviour made them liberate the prisoners
(w
ho were to have been sent further into the interior of
Russia), giving security to the amount of 10 dollars per
A. complaint was of course immediately sent to
it'heci
the Ministry at Berlin, and though it made no answer
to the eOlurmint of the Government at Konigsberg on a
