" PROCLAMATION.

" Quarter General at Juan Grie,,:o, in the
Island of Nlargaretta, the 29th I\larch.

" JUAN BAPTISTA ARISMENDI, of the Order of.
Liberators, and general in Chief of the Army, &c.
" Be it' known, that on the lath inst. entered
this port, the armed brig called the Itresistable, of
the °dentin Republic of La Plata, with the Spa-
nish brig of war Nereide, Astender, the latter
having been 'captured by
,the Ifresist able, in tat.
S. long. 30. while sailing from Cadiz to Rio
Janeiro ; that on the 21st the privateer La
eolla, from the Republic of La Mate, anchored
at this port, and in the night of 24th both crews
mutinied, took possession of the force of the lire-
sistable, and arresting the Officers who were. on
board, made their escape with the vessel, in spite of
the firing from the ercolia and the batteries from
land ; and though the Commander Daniels, be-
ing on shore, used every effort to apprase the

Niwineets, unit to prevent tiir escar)e, it eta,
impossible to obtain it ; for assisted by the place
and 'vessels in harbour, he manned the brig Ne-
reide, and pursued the robbers without effect,
n►ving to their superiority of sailing and .diffe-
rence of time, in consequence of Which Daniels
was obliged to pot back, after taking up the Of-
ficers and men whom the Mutineers had landed
on tie coast.

" Such iniquitous conduct sets the criminals
out of the protection -of the laws. To prevent
their future depredations, under the pretence of
corntnissions to cruise from the Repuh:;e of Ve•
nezuela, - I do hereby declare, that the said
brig Irresistible has no commission from the
Oriental Republic of La. Plata since the-24th of
this month, nor from the Republic of Venezuela,
and that he ought to 'be considered as a pirate,
and sailing ulder no authority aril sanc:ion from

any Government whatever, and as such to he cap-
tined by the forces, public and private, of the
State; and to the friendly and neutral nations
I do entreat to detain said brig, if found, and to
order him co this Island.

A great number of fires have taken place in ea-

rioui tot‘:lis in America.

I)estructioe Fire at Norfolk. April B.—We re-
gret. In ie,irn, 1114 t. on. Wednesday night last,
about 150 buildings weie destroyed by fire, in
Norfolk, Virginia.

Fire at Washington —Several houses were con-
sumed in this city on WednesdAy last, and several
more on Friday at Philadelphia ; there were also
fires at New York ; likewise at Lancaster and
Troy, Savannah and Blandon!.

We find, by the Continental Papers, as well as
by private communications, that there is actually
some reason to believe that M. IIaRNADoTTE has
been induced to think of abdicating the Throne
into which he ascended by such extraordinary
means. Whether the natural reluctance of other
Powers to admit such a character among them in
monarchical state, whether any neglect of obli-
gations into which he bad entered, or whether
the repugnance of the Swedi;ll People to have
the Throne, formerly adot•nNl by the great Gus-
TAVUS ArfOLPHUS, occupied by the offspring of a
Revolution that has shaken the foundry ions of civi-
lized society, we know not. If it be impracticable
to restore the deposed Monarch, whose only fault
was a resolute defence of good principles ag,air,*
the great Disturber of Mankind, BUONAPARTF,
yet it would be pleasing to all the world to see
the Son of that Monarch placed upon the Throne
of his Ancestors, and the People of Sweden would
have their national pride gratified by such an.
event. It has been said that BaRNADOTTE
might maintain his State, even against ad.
verse Powers, if supported by time Swedes.—
But is it possible that the Nobles of that
country, and a people renowned for valour
and national pride, will quietly acquiesce in
the present order of things, brought on by the
doting imbecility of the Duke of StmEamANIA,
who raised himself to the Throne, and be-
queathed it to a low-born foreigner ? We
hope, however, that there is some truth in the
report that BaRNADOTTE really means to descend
from his revolutionary elevation, and then be
will, at least, deserve a rood provision, for ren-
dering justice to Sweden, and satifying the wishes
of mankind.

It is gratifying to us to find that Tue SUN has
actually raised an ANTI-PAPIST spirit in all quar-
ters of the Empire. We have received as many
articles on this subject as would_ nearly fill our
Paper for months to come, We shall pub-
lisp the communications of our valuable Calle-
spondents'on this vital Question, as soon as we
have opportunity, because whatever may be the
decision of the House of Lords, we wish to con—
vinee.the Papists that they never can be
_admitted
into Political Power, until they afford those
securi:ies which are essential to the' pre-
servation of our Establishment in Church
and State. But though many Members of. the
Lower House appear to have 'stunk from their
duty, we hope better thin;s from the H
DITARY COUNSELLORS Of the . STATE:, inde-
pendently of our firm reliance on the present
ILLUSTRIOUS I[7,AD of the Government, act-
ing ." in the name, and on the behalf," of our
august Sovereign, and inheriting all bii reverence
for the CORONATION OATH, and all his zeal for
the Welfare of the Country, and the happiness of
Mankind..
