" The British flag is flying on)he Castle of Pen-
sacola. • Our, information is,dc:rived from a Gentle-
man, 17 days tom that quarter.- This is no fuJre
than we calculated upon in a tortn,r paper ; and is
prob:ibly the last aft of delegated authmity from tre
Spans!) Junta, in favour of their good teiond and ally,
King Genige—now we may conswe ourselves with
having the British in our front and rear—they have
now the master-key of the West India trade, and
can easily controut that of the" Mississippi.—
This,.o our opinion, iniOit have been pievented, if
our just, but tuo tbrbearing Goverto:ient, had seized,
on, that, pan of West Florida which
they,clann. The forcetiunder Gen. Wilkinson, on
the Saline, would lime been usefully employed on
this occasion, and have secured to ILe United
States adVantages which , are now more difficult to
be obtained."---Augusta (Georgia) Chronicle,

On the 2d inst. in the. evening, the wend

N.E.the N right in the hajhour, which cannoned
to inercae in a very alarming .degree. About I:2
.6:104 at night, the weather became %ery tem-
pestuous ;.arwhich time the Magdalena, Spanish
irigme, parted her cable, and driving on board the
Narcissus English frigate, completely dismasted
• her. The. tall of the masts killed the surgeon,
and two marines, and wounded several others. As
the I\l%olm:es masts were standing, sire was driven
by [he. N ind clear of the NAreissu, (now a petted •
hulk); or both ships must have sunk together, not
haying any other anchors to, let go. No possible
means .retnaining of my sending her, relief, owing
to the, darkness and terrible weather which pre.
vailed, she was unavoidably thrown upon the sand
at the head of the harbour, and dashed to pieces. The
morning showed us only the scattered remains of
What. she had :been, in dreadful extent along the
beach. Out of nearly ,5130 people two only have been
preserved. Commodore Larouz, Captain Sals, da,
her Ciim- mapder, and Colonel fineso, Commandant
of Artillery, are amongst those ho have perished.
The Pulemo Spani;h•btig of war, has also suffered
the same calamity, and at the same time;-oniy her
Commander.and nine men surviving the destrud ion
of theirvessel,. out of nearly two hundred which
were on board.

" Spain has' deep cause for lamentation in the
loss of so many of her valuable subjeds, whilst hu-
manity Mourns beneath the awful example of the
insecurity.. of man's best hopes and prospects. Al-
, thongh it was not the better fortune of these brave
men to fall in-the more glorious hour of battle, their
lives have beend6voted to the cause of their coun-
try,; and a country whose fame is so high for pos-
sessing generous ideas and manly sentinients, will
no: allow those .widows and ortrhans of her war-
riors, who lost their. lives in upholding her indepen-
dence and rank amongst the nations of Enrope, to
sink .truprotected.. The present accasi,m,
men, calls for your immedia:e attention. • Permit
we to intrem. that the condition of:the many titmi-
hes who are thus involved in misery and want, be
most particularly recommended to the m'aterrial care
of the. Spanish: Government.

the increasing fuice of the current, leti'the boat and
with difficulty reached the shore. The perilous si-

HoNouita-a-A cricurnstance oc, tarred a few days
ago,which presented a more chivalrous idea of honour
than any which has occurred to modern times. A ve-
nerable and respectable looking mai, was taken to
'Mmddleset Hospital With his throat cut from ear to
ear, but the wound, in consequence of the atten-
tion and the skill of the Surgeon, did not prove
mortal. The person who attempted committiOg
suicide was questioned as to the cause, and at
length reluCtantly sZaued the fa{, He said he wanted
aoirrething which another person had, who refused
hisxequest. He again repeated it, but in vain, which
roused his anger, and he declared on his honour, in a
fit of passion, it the matter in dispute was not given
up, tie would " cut his own throat. The ether ae:-
90a continued perverse, and the patient it, Lonse.
auence determined to 'commit suicide rather titan
fc;rfeit his honour, and aCciarcliogly made the at-
tempt.
