Some of the Buenos Ayrean privateers are
hovering along our South Sea bound, and are
Paying handsome prices for supplies.
Captain SCLIUY LEE, of the schooner Governor
Shelly, arrived yesterday front Port-au-Prince, in-
formed us that, in lat. 23.30. long. 72. 30. he
Was boarded by the United States' frigate Con-
gress, Captain Moak's, 24 days from the Balize.
The hoarding Officer informed that the Congress
Was bound to Port-au-Prince, to demand satisfac-
tion of President PETtorz for having ordered the
exerution of an American seaman, as detailed in
the Papers some time ago.

(Front the same P ape? of July 25.)

The following is an extract of a letter from
Fernandina, July 12
" 1 cannot form any opinion as to the future
operations of the Patriots : they are at present
limited to the island : I fear they will fail in their
laudable scheme—they have no force. Every
thing favoured their occupation and march to St.
Augustine—the Dons were panic struck. There
is at present a restlessness among the people
tinder their flag, some outrages having been
committed by their out-parties. There was a
tale here to-day of 31 slaves, seized tour (lays
ago ; they were seized, flied, condemned, and
told, in that time. These tiroceedings injure the
cause, and should they not receive large reinforce-
*trews, I tear they will have to abandon the place.
The consquences of such an event are much to
be dreaded."
We learn by the Ellen, TOOKER, from the Gulph
Of Mexico, that the Patriotic General iERKAND,
kith about 2000 men, had gone over to the
Royalists, having previously been assured of ihe
pardon ; that General GANDABOUHE, with
About 300 tacit, were within 100 miles of La
Vera Cruz, hemmed in by the Royalists ; and
Mat General MINA'S head-quarters were at Sota
blarina, which place he had fortified, and left a
garrison of about SO men, and proceeded against
Lewis Petosa. His communications on the
tea coast were cut off by the Royalists. An
It-my of about 5000 men was marching against
Lim from La Vera .Cruz, and his situation was
tunsidered perilous.

There never was such a settling day in the Stock
txcLange as yesterday proved to be. The Bulls,
tvho bad made heavy purchases in the hope of a
rise, which the market of Monday and Tuesday
fully warranted, were obstinate to the last, and
would not sell until the lateness of the hour com-
Felled them ; at this time they could find but few
Purchasers; as those who had sold Stock, and who
were anxious to deliver it or settle the account,
gave (as is usual in such cases) orders to several
brokers to sell it out publicly from the Coin-
xtthsioner's Box and we are told that at least
300,000 was disposed of in this way. This pro-
duced such distress that the price for Money was
gO, whilst for Friday there were buyers at 80k.
The Account cannot be said to be wholly settled
yet, sod as a great deal of Stock was sold out for
Parties who were themselves selling at the same
time, there will be a good deal of Stock now to
be bout:ht. The price this morning for Money,
Was 80k, and for October Account, 81.

XXTRACT OF A LETTER FROI4I GIBRALTAR, DATED

AUGUST 7

We have to notify the opening of the corn-
finnieation this day with Spain by land. The
Satellite brig of war, Captain MURRAY, arrived
last niOit trom Tunis and Algiers. No news has
},et transpired by her. The garrison remains very
healthy, never was more so." •

;Ttis SUN has reason to pride itself on its in-
creasing splendour, for it is attacked this day by
Ott v powerful assailants, The Morning Chronicle
/110 The British Press, both of which are attempt-
ing to throw;a shade neon its lustre.—" A foolish
figuie, but farewel it."—The Chronicle begins with
an aberration from truth (we are nu willing to use
an offensive monosyllable), for it says," THE SUN
yesterday, after a respite of three days, returns
In the charge respecting Spanish affairs." Now
lqat is the plain fact ? The Chronicle published its
attack on Spain on Thursday. Vie had not All Op-
-14)111Inity to ansiver before Saturday. On Mon-
-41",/ it answered TH a Sur:, ant: on the same day 'lna
SUN replied, and promised to .resume the subject.
SoN did resume the subject yesterday. Where
then was the respite of three days i It is a proof of
4 bdd cause when it commences with a deviation
front truth even in a trifle. But sve need take very
little trouble in answering The Chronicle this day.
It Pers4veres in maintaining that the preliminary

ba,is of a Ti rely IS as biodiog as the Treaty itself.
'lbis doctrine is too absurd to need refutation. The
next point is the recurrence of The Chronicle to
what passed between Mr. CANNING and Admiral
AropAcA some years ago, to which, as we gave
plain answer, we need not repeat our observa-
tion on its irrelevancy at the present moment.—
The Inquisition is then brought forward again by
The Chronicle, which favours us with the oath which
it exacts of its Sovereigns. But if the Sovereign
of Spain has not acted upon that oath, conceiv-
ing that it is confined to Spiritual matters, and
not to Mercantile, we have met remelt) at present
to fear that the Holy Tribunal gill forget its beads,
&c. &c. and turn its attention to Commerce. As
to the Fiscal concerns of Spain, though The Chro-
nicle says we are bewildered, we may fairly retort
the charge, as we merely contradicted it, upon be-
ter knowledge than The Chronicle seems to possess.
But the most important point with The Chronicle
regards the dress of the Inquisition, which it
denies to be British, and declares to be "pano
de seda which is of French texture." In conclu-
sion, The Chronicle goes back to 1797 for illus-
tration. A plain proof that it is again puzzled to
answer what we said in reference to the existing
state of things, atter all the changes and convul-
sions which shook Fault Ope to its centre.

The subject on whiLli we are attacked in The
British Press of to•day relates to the Concordat,
which we inserted yesterday ; and because we
animadverted on the subserviency of the King of
France to the Papal See, manifested in that do-
cument, it taunts us on attempting to renew "the
good old style of the Seventeenth Century," in
statiug, that the Roman Catholics think it meri-
torious to keep no faith with Heretics, meaning
Protestants, Now The Press ought to know, that
semper eadem is the motto of POPP EY . The wri-
ters in favour of that. Religion uniformly assert,
that its doctrines and principles .ire the same now
as they always were, and are unchangeable. As
that is the fact, the same arguments urged against
POPERY at any former period ale as applicable at
the present moment. We insert another Papal
Manifesto to-day, and a. wretched mass ()Leant,
superstition and folly, it is, but it still morelerves to
justify our assertion as to the subserviency of the
Roman Catholics, including the King of FRANCE, to
the iifallible Head of the Roman Catholic Church.
With respect ti; a provision for the Clergy, not
depending on the People, we agree with the The
Press, and are glad tiaat such a provision is to be
made for them, that something like a respect for
Religion may be found iii France after all its
Atheism and other horrors.

Virginia, in July last.•'

Yesterday Viscount CASTLEREAGH and Count
MUNSTER had hodienceS of the PRINCE REGENT
at Carlton House,
DEATH of MRS. MEYNELL.—We have the me-
lancholy task to announce the untimely demise of
Mrs. HUG() MEYNELL the sister of the Marchio-
ness of HERTFORD. That much respected. Lady,
when in the act of alighting from tier pnaeton,
at her seat in Staffordshire, missed the footstep,
and fell to the ground upon her head, when the
right temple coming in contact with a stone, she
was killed upon the spot. An express was sent
off to Bagley Hall, which arrived at the moment
when the family were rejoicing at the recovery
of the Marquis of HERTFORD. That hospitable
mansion, so uniformly the scene of uninterrupted
festivity at this season of the year, is, in conse-
quence, become a house of mourning. The PRINCE
REGENT yesterday countermanded the orders
which had been previously given for his High-
ness's departure for Warwickshire.
The victory obtained by the Second Order of
the Romish Clergy over their Bishops, and which
the Pope leas acquiesced in, although it would ap-
pear as it favourable to the advancement of the
Catholic claims, in our humble judgment, should
dissolve every hope of their success ; for the au-
thority of the foreign Pontiff is thus established,
and an indirect attempt made thereby against the
British Constitution; as it was foreign influence
which first made the Penal Code necessary, so its
revival should terrify every good subject ; and this
is the true meaning of DotnesticNomination, upon
which the Popish Faction so much rely as a sub-
stitute for the Veto. The fact, however, of Do-
mestic Nomination,. which was offered first as a
boon, being now adopted as a right, has been
fully established in the appointment of Doctor
W,Atsta, of Dungarvan, to be the Titular Bishop.

THE BUTTERFLY'S BIRTH-DAY..
By WILLIAnt Roscoe, Esq.

The shades of night were scarcely fled ;
The air was mild, the winds were still ;
And slow the slanting sun beams spread
O'er wood and lawn, o'er heath and hill.

From fleecy clouds of pearly hue
Had dropt a short hut balmy shower,
That hung like gems of morning dew,
On every tire and every flower.
And from the Blackbird's mellow throat
Was pour'd so loud end long a swell,
As echoed with responsive note
From mountain side, and shadowy dell.
When bursting forth to life and light,
The offspring of enraptur'd May,
The Butterfly, on pillions bright,
Launch'd in full splendour on the day.
Unconscious of a mother's care,
No infant wretchedness she knew;
But as she felt the venal air,
At once to full perfection grew.
Her slender form, Isthereal,
Her velvet textue'd wings enfold ;
With all the rainbow's colours bright,
And dropt with spots of burnish'd gold.
Trembling with joy, awhile she stood,
And felt the sun's enlivening ray;
Drank from he skies the vital flood,
And wonder's' at her plumage gay;
And balaiic'd oft her 'broider'd wings,
Through fields of air prepar'd to sail;
Then on her vent'rous journey springs,
And floats along the rising gale.
Go, child of pleasure, range the fields,
Taste all the joys that spring can give,
Partake what Immiteous Summer yields,
And live, while yet 'tis thine to live.
Go, sip the rose's fragrant dew.
The lily's homed cup explore,
From flower to flower the search renew,
And rifle all the woodbine's store;
And let me trace thy vagrant flight,
Thy moments ton of short repose,
And mark thee then with fresh .delight
Thy golden pinions ope and close.
But hat k ! while thus I musing stand,
Pours on the gale an airy note;
And, breathing from a viewless band,
Soft silvery tones around toe float !
—They cease—but still a voice I hear,
A whisper's! voice of hope and joy,
" Thy hour of rest approaches near,
" Prepare thee, mortal !—Thou must die !
" Yet start not ;—on thy closing eyes
" Another day shall stilt unfold,
" A sun of milder radiance rise,
" A happier age of joys untold.
" Shall the poor worm that shocks thy sight,
" The humblest form in Nature's train,
" Thus rise in new-born lustre bright,
" And yet the emblem teach in vain ?
" Ah ! where were once her golden eyes,
" Her glittering wings of purple pride ?
" Coneeal'd beneath a rude disguise,
" A shapeless mass to earth allied.
" Like thee the hapless reptile liv'd,
" Like thee he toil'd, like thee he spun,
" Like thine his closing hour arriv'd,
'' His labours ceas'd, his web was done.
" And shalt thou, number'd with the dead,
" No happier state ,of being know ?
" And shall no future morrow shed
",On thee a beam of brighter glow?
" Is this the bound of Power Divine,
" To animate an insect frame? •
" Or shall not He who moulded thine,
" Wake at His will the vital flame ?
" =Go, mortal! in thy reptile state,
" Enough to know to thee is given ;,
" Go, and the joyful truth relate,
" Frail Child of earth ! high Heir of Heaven !"

A Gentleman in the suite of Lord AMHERST has
brought home with him a fine individual of that
►vonderful species of animal the Ourang Outang,
or as it is vulgarly called, the " Wild man of the
Wood." The formation, habits, •and motions of
this creature so strongly resemble man, and its
actions are so much the apparent result of thought.,
that it may be truly said to be the connecting
link in the chain of nature uniting the human
species with the brute creation. This surprising
animal is placed for the present in the Menagerie
at Exeter 'Change, where the facility of seeing
him will doubtless attract many visitors among
the scientific and the curious, more especially
when it is considered that one of his kind has not
been seen in England (if we are correctly in-
formed) tor the last 80 years.
