Extract of a letter dated Aux Cayes, July 31:
" is arrived here from the Isle de
Vachc, where he had been for several days at
anchor. In re-entering the port, his brig, the
Macgregor, got aground, and it the end of thirty-
six hours went down, the attempts to save her
having proved tionvailing. Melancholy to relate,
the t:reater part ot the sick who were on board
perished. 'Of the passetgets by the three ships,
the Mary Eliza, Henry, and Tariintula, the num-
bers ate daily diminishing by sickness. We now
consider Miegregies success impossible, its he
has iirifliet men, money, or provisions. Never-
theless, he pots a good countenance On his lot-
tunes, and talks confidently of the arrival of fur-
ther suceonts om England. 'Flue only vessel lie
has now with him is the Tarantula, Puolman, ot
London, lying, in the Bay of Flamtuands, with
oply 16 passengers on board,"

Apprehenions are entertained for the safety
of the Abundance store-ship, which sailed hour
Pout%mouth the 19th of Aptil, for Saint He-
lena, the Cape, anti 11.14tiritiw, as she had
not arrived at Saint Helena when the Itedpole
sloop of war, which arrived at Portsmouth on
Tbnrsday, left that Island; and the miderstand
she was despatched in con,equence or the non-
arrival of the Abundance, The Ledpole touched
at Ascension the 14th of August.—(Mid.)

THE COLONIES

[From the Ifidflax Free Piess.l
REMOVAL OP THE NAVAL ESTABAsHMENT AT

HALIFAX.

The intelligence of a lot-lei nature, rec,ived by the packet
is most extraordinary and unexpected. We had already seen
with regret and astonishment our vessels excluded from the
ports of a neighbouring- nation,—our r;gl.'s rclinquishrd .by
the adoption of a course of policy, which permits foreigners
to frequent the hathours and bays of this Colony, and to take
and cure fish upon its shcres;7—hut we never!could have ima-
gined, that one of the finest foreign Yards in his Majesty's
Dominions was to be abandoned, and its buildings consign-
ed to ruin and decay, Such, hOWever, is the fact—and
it is this day our unpleasant duty ter announce to the public
that the stores in the Naval Hospital are to 44 removed to
Bermuda, and the otlicers and people of that Department are
to he'discharged, with the exception of a clerk, a porter, and
one labourer; and that the Duck Yard is t..)
.be.placeJ upon
the same establishment as that of Gibraltar;—which we be-
lieve has an officer and six labourers.

We view this'measure, in common with every well wisher
to the Province, with sorrow and concern ; ,ant that we think
this colony does not contain resources withia itself, which if
called into action by the uniaed energies of its population,
would be amply sufliciena for the snpport aad prosperity of
its inhabitants; but because we consider the dismissal of the
people to whom these departments hare hitherto yielded sup-
port, and who are, generally spea/.ing, old and faithful ser-
vants of Government, as an act pregnant with the most seri-
ous consequences to themselves and their numerous families;
—that it is withdrawing-a large s;urn of money from circuits-
r tion, at a period when the Collialeree of the country labours
under the most. extreme depres-iotit—and also that it must
he viewed as demonstrating the near approach of that period
when this Province will be torn from the British diadem.
It has long been the opiniou of well informed men, that
Government, in making Bermuda a naval depdt, contemplat-
ed the possibility of ultimately losing these Provinces, and
was therefore desirous of guaraingagainst the pernicious con-
sequences, which might result to the other colonies in the wes-
tern hemisphere in consequence of that event, by having a place
S whose insular situation, together with its natural and artifi-
cial defences, would at all times offer a retreat for the British
fleets. But it could scarcely have been contemplated that in
the midst of peace and security, the naval arsenal at Halifax
on a reduced scale, would be destroyed, and its stores removed
to a place diflicult of approach, liable to the fevers and tem-
pests of a West. India climate, and where the expence of
victualling the persons employed by Government, amounts to
treble the sum which would he required in this Province.—
Besides all this, the Dock Yard at Bermuda is by no means
• complete, and theapproach to it is rendered extremely difficult,
• and Cecil dangerous, owing to the intricacy of the navigation ;
and notwithstanding; the immense sums which hare been ex-
pended, a vessel cannot be hove down without much risk.
and must be righted should a fresh breeze spring tip from any
point in the compass from north-east round to south-west.
However, as such has heel, the line of conduct adopted by
His Majesty's Ministers, and as it is out duty to submit to
their aecisions, it behoves its to look within ourselves, and to
ascertain what resources this Province poiseSses,—and with
manliness and alacrity to seize upon its advantages. Among
these the most cosvpiettous are presented be a water cote-
munizationathat might be opened at a comparatively small
expence betwelta Halifax harbour and the Shnhenacadie.—
We have been much gratified of fare, by finding; that this
multi ect bas.not only beceme a theme of conversation, hut
that plans are under consideration for accomplishing an ela-
lea so desirable. Were this Province in the-bands of our
more enterprising and patriotic neighbours, it would have
larch effected long since. By cutting through is distance
of about 18 miles at fart hest, and by expending a •siren not ex •
ceediog 30,0au1. an immense supply of timber, staves, veal,
plaster of Paris ;and lime, could he wrought with ease and ex-
pedition to the wharfs of Halifax ; ants vessels tiott are nose,
compelled to brave the dangers of the Bay of rtilkly, and
grope their way to St. John's, might procure cargoas with fa-
cility and ease in one or the finest harbours in America.

measures purstied by Government with respect to
these Co:unic,, will, we are persuaded, impel the inhabi•
t:tnts of this Province to cultivate the advantages with which
Nature has blessed them ; end it is-this rellectihn alone that

" It has been suspected for some time at Bor-
deaux-, that a tailor there had seduced young men
of 'different professions to join the independents
in South America. 'These suspicions have been
confirmed ; there has been found at the house of
the tailor lists containing the names, surnames,
and ages of 138 individuais, and also a notice pub-
lished at Philadelphia, announcing cessions of
land and other advantages offered to those who
proceed to the Champ-n'Asile, and the adjacent
Provinces. This man has acknowledged the com-
mission he had from an inhabitant of Philadel.--

specting the subject.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FRObt PORT OF SPAIN, TM-

NIUAD, DATED AUG. 12.

" A severe shock of an earthquake yeas expe-
rienced here early this morning. It happened, as
nearly as I can judge, about half-past two o'clock.
I was unable to sleep, from the excessive beat,
and therefOre distinctly perceived the whole phe-
nomenon.

At first I heard, as it n ere, a violent
wind, which was instantly succeeded by an oti-
dnlatory motion from EPA to West, very severe,
and kisttdOut fonr or five seconds. I instantly
jumped out of bed, and ran into, the vim!, not
niliinif; to experience a beC011(.1 shuck within the

wait of a house. It was a remarkably clat
molilight night, and nothing patticolir
discrnable in the state of the atmosphere. Tb'
brut! creation were greatly disturbed.
" Four persons have been lardy imprisoned for
snuggling Slaves from the French Islands. 00'
of than a respectable person holding a goal aims"
'tion n the Registry of Slaves Office, and which
consequently gave him great facilities for pursuing
thislitiquitous traffic; another, the Captain of a
vesse, bas contrived to make his escape frog
Jail.'

We recently manifested our earnest hopes that
the Meat body of Merchants, Bankers, Trades•
men, Ind other respectable CbaraCters in the City
of Lotdon, would come forward to counteract
the eff,rts of those Radical Reformers who want
to tyrainice over the great Capital of the World,
and venivally to overthrow the fabric of the
State. It is %%1;1i much pleasure v:e find, as our
Readers will see by an Advertisement, in anotbet
part of our Paper, that our hopes have been greti•
fi d, wad. we trust that what has tints been excited
by a temporary necessity will. become an esta•
blithed habit, and that all the opulent And distill..
gilished Characters of our great City mil feel-it to
be their duty henceforward to lake a leading and
an acti►e part in its concerns, Fur want of this
exertion on the part of respectable and eminent
men, a set of vulgar Upstarts have risen into
notice, who have neither capaci'y nor knowledge
inffideut to entitle them to direct public opinion,

AVI)0 are misled by vanity, and tvho, rather
tl►an remain in quiet and harmless obscurity,
would nut only disturb the Public Peace its
London, but spread the seeds of disaffectiors
and sedition all over the Einpire. Unhappily,
by the assistance of the Jacobin Newspapers, the
turbulent harangues of these mischievous Orators,

who can only delude the most vulgar and igno•
rant of the multitude, are spread over the town,
anti the Speakers are exalteld into a bastard import-
ance, and incited to persevere. But we are glad
to find that the People at large are opening tbvir
eyes to the fatal consequences that may at-,
tend the circulation of such Public Prints as cit.-
ciliate the Radical doctrines, and now ate encon"
raging those which support the cause of loyalty,and
the Constitution framed by the wisdom, defended
by the courage, and transmitted by the patrintisnl
of, our Ancestors. Our headers saw by a Letter
from a respectable Society at Nottiughani, that
an Evening Paper was discarded to mike way for
