‘‘ Ki:•;IGSTON, Ma? 31.—The brigantine Saucy
-Jack, tvl,r,,3t was captured by his Majesty's brig
je.V.mair, loss been retaken by the schooner Creole
or Guerrier, Caytail) BELQARDE, and this vessel
had the audacit Y on Monday to come within
sight of this city, ,xtrd laud on the Palisadoes
the seamen faund 'ward the brigantine,
and send one of her people ashore, for the pur-
pose- of obtaining a sa,oply of fresh provi-
-9i0,09. Uu this CirCUMS,*anCe being made
'known to Rear,Adtniral DouGl)4B, lie instantly
communicated it to the Policek and we are
,
baPpy to add that after a considerable search
about 'the city he was found late 0.0 AlumidY
evening' at a lonise in West-street, aMt lodged
in the Guard-house. On the following morn-
ing he was brought -before the Magistrates, and
stated his name to be PtERRE PERLER, a Frenci'.‘a
watt, from Bourdeaux ; that he was Purser in
the Guerricr, which was last from Aux-Cayes,
and had been sent ashore by the Captain (BEL-
Canoe) to. purchase some barrels of pork and
either provisions ; that the schooner had a Com-
mission from BR/ON and BOLIVAR, and had recap-
tured the brigantine under English colours, af-
ter she was in possession of a British Officer,
and at the time hoisted Venezuelian colours,
and fired one gun to bring her to. Upon go-
ing on board of her, they took out some wine,
rum, and bees' wax, and the vessel was or-
slered to Aux-Cayes, but did not go in, as her
slestinat ion was afterwards changed for Margaritta.
On obtaining the necessary provisions, the Guer-
sitr was to have sent a boat to take examinant
from off the Palisadoes. He brought ashore some
znusiins, checks, corals, &c. as presents to the
relatives of Belgarde in this city, and had been
before ashore, once while in the Popa, from Car-
thagena. He was remanded for further, CRltllli-
natiou."

It is evident, from the perseverance of the
Morning Chronicle, as we find this day, in abusing
the S.pecch of Lord CASTLEREAGH on the close
e,ethe Parliamentary Session, that the Party,
and particularly Mr. BROUGHAM, writhe tinder
the strong and ivrefragable facts and arguments
which that Speech contained. It seems, in the
opinion (lithe Chronicle, that Lord CASTLEREAGH,
Li hi, zeal to protect LEGITIMACY, the is, REGU-
LAR GoVERNMENT, throughout Europe, thongia
the rights and property of British Subjects were
" things beneath his notice." The charge is ab-
solutely ritliculous, and the Chronicle has too
much sense not to know that it is so.—
Another point upon which the Party are 6611
sore, and no wonder, is, that his Lordship
oh:fended the Suspension of the HABEAS COREUS
Act. Here, too, the Chronicle most know, that
it is reasoning against its own conviction, and that
it the Suspension Lad not taken place we should
have heen exposed, to use its own words,
" to the danger of anarchy,"that is, to all the
horrors of rebellion, massacres, &c. &c. which
lesulted from the French Revolution. On .these
points it is unnecessary for uS to dilate,
as the Chronicle is fully aware ti at it is. at- I,
tempting to reason against truth and com-
mon sense. But we are really surprized to see
the Chronic:e degrading itself this day on the sub-
jec.-t of Affidavits collected in Ireland, and refused
cu be heard in an English Court oh Justice, but

With liberality, candour, justice, or decency ;
or, whether it is possible for the Public to
place the least confidence in the grounds of
this posthumous defamation. As to the other
Persons who were sa harshly described by the firm.
of MCSSI'S• BROUGHAM, I3ENNET, and BURDETT,
they bad the privilege of Parliament in their
favour, but if they rely upon the facts which they
stated, and believe the Persons whom they
so bitterly attacked to be deserving of all the vi.
fulcra representations ..hick they made of the
conduct and Charade's of thpse Persons,. let

the firm now come forward and repeat
their allegations, when they can only be sanc-
tioned by TUUTIi and JUSTICE.. We tin Vise the
Chronicle to drop this sultject, for it ciao do no
credit to it on any grounds of policy, prudence,
or.eUfllllloll CHll4Olll'.

The Dublin Evening Post very earnestly en-
quites—" Why had not the Catholic Bishops an
Agent in Route?" We itiswer—because any
coimounication of a Briti,h Subject with the Pope,
upon matters of an ecclesiastical nature, is tor
hidden by our ancient and unrepealed law, as a
Misdemeanour, if not as High Treason. The
prohibition, however, is grossly evaded, and ought
to be rigorously enforced.

Colonel MeAltinoN, who has long been in the
confidential service of the PRINCE REGENT, and
most deservedly so, is, we are very sorry to find,
in such in►iiffereut health, that he has been oblig-
cd to solicit permission of his Royal Master to
retire. The Prince will thereby► lose a valuable
servamt,and an est►mableman. All too who have
had occasion to Make application to his Royal
Highness, will have reason to regret the Colonel's
resignation, as no person, in any office, has ever
bee'n more accessible on such occasi►►ns, or more
ready to promote the .objects of
,jus►ice and hu-
manity, or to smooth the road for untriended me-
rit of every desciiptinwi.

Guards, will attend this rural festival ; and every
arrangethent has been made to give effect to her
MAJESTY'S entertaintnent, anti tb gratify her nu-
merous visitors.
