" The French frigate Flora, Captain Mailatto,
and the brig of wear Gazelle, arrived at Cartha-
gena on the 16th of June, from Martinique, and
last from La Guayra. In the frigate came pas.
senger Monsieur Chasserien, a member of the
Legion of Honour, on u mission to the Colour.'
Liao Government, the nature of which had not
transpired during his stay .at rLa Guuyra ; but
since his arrival ut Carthagena, the people, as
well as some of the Authorities, view his arrival
in u suspicious light.. It had occasioned disa-
greeable feelings on the part of the French offi-
cers, but it was supposed every thing would be
put to rights when the Government at Bogota
received accurate information as to the object of
Monsieur Chasserien's mission,
" The Btitish brig Surinam had also arrived
^there on her route to llarbadoes, • She brought
oflic:ol intelligence of the new Colombian loan
being finally negociated with Goldschmidt and
Co. This intelligence animated all classes of
society in Carthagena, as it placed the credit of
Government above all contingencies. Public
stock took a great rise ; commerce received a
new impulse.; the rnerchncts and others were no
longer afraid of being laid under contribution for
support Of Government, and consequently would
mu!, into use their long-locked-up dollars.
"'Official advises had been received and pub-
lished in the Colorthugena Gazette, from the head-
quarters of General Bolivar, dated in April, and
give a flattering account of the Republican army
in Peru, and likewise an official account of the
destruction of the Spanish squadron in the
Bay of Callao, by a division of the Republican
force.

" JULY 7.--We learn from our correspondents
of the Baltimore Federal Gazette, and American,
that the schooner Alicanna had arrived there, in
13 days, from La Guayra, the captain of which
reported, that considerable bustle prevailed at
the latter place, in consequenee,of the arrival of
the armed Colombian schooner General Sand.
ander,Captain Chase, with three very ,valuable
prizes in company ; and the Spanish armed brigs
Thirty de Mayo, Estrella, and San Pedro. These
vessels were part of a convoy from Havannah,
bound to Spain, and are deeply laden with-colo-
nial produce and -cochineal, indigo, &c. Cargoes,
exclusive Of specie, valued at 250,000 dollars.--
By a lute decree of the Colombian Government,
the duty on prize goods had been augmented to
about 45 per cent.; hut in consequence of the
gallantry displayed by Captain Chase in the cap-
ture of these-vessels, and of the services hitherto
rendered by him, the GOVPIMMeII t had dvtermined
on admitting these cargoes on the same footing as
formerly, making u difference of 45,000 dollars
to Captain Chase.—These vessels are of the first
of their 'class, corvette- French built, and armed,
two ,of them carrying 16 gunq each, NM were
captured during' the night. One of them had
80,000 dollars in spetit ou board.,, .
