EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM NANTUCKET, JITNE 7.
" Schooner Harmony, Ray, arrived here yesterday, from
N. S. Shetland, with 4500 skins. In lat. 18, N. long. 54, W.
spoke ship Triton, Wood, from the P. Ocean, for New Bed-
bord, with 2009 bbls. oil. From Capt. W. he learnt the loss of
.the ship Essex, Pollard. The Essex was whaling in lat. 00.
44, S. long. 120, W. While the boats were out, the ship was
attacked by a what::, which struck her first against the starboard
fore chains, and next on the larboard bow ; and so disabled her
that she immediately filled with water and ovcrset. They cut
away her masts and she righted. The Captain and crew re-
mained by the ship 4 days—when having taken in provisions
they all left her in three boats, and proceeded on the wind to
the southward. This disaster took place in Nov. 1820. The
first landed on a small island called Dacier's; in lat. 21, S. long.
124, W.
"After staying on the Island six days, they left it, and left
there one man from each boat. The boats kept company for
some considerable time. The second mate, Mr. Joy, who com-
manded one boat, being sick, was taken on board the Captain's
boat, and soon afterwards died. The Captain's boat separated
from one, and-shortly after from the other boat. In February,
1821, they fell in with the ships Dauphin, Coffin, of Nantucket,
and Diana, Paddock, of New York, then in lat. '3B, about 5'5
miles front the coast of Chili.. The only survivors then were
the Captain, and Charles Ramsdell, a iad. The account of
their sufferings, and the circumstances which attended them as
reported, is too distressing to be detailed.
" The Diana, and Dauphin,, fell in with the ship Two Bro-
thers, Worth, and put two men on board, as she was bound
home."
" Capt. Wood further informed, that the shin Hero, Russell,
wanting provisions, run into Takuhana. Tlie Captain went
on shorn, and was immediately taken up and imprisoned,
charged with being a spy for Lord Cochrane. The ship was
boarded and taken possession of by the Royalists ; but a Patriot
privateer heaving m sight, they cut the cables and left her.—
The mate and crew, who had been confined below, finding the
Spaniards had gone, broke out of the confinement just in time to
save the ship from going on a reef, and was proceeding to Val-
paraiso when she fell in with the Triton."

Letters have been received from Nevis an

St. Kitt's, from the former place dated the 21st
of June, and from the latter the 19th of the
same month. By these arrivals we have received
a confirmation of the former advices from South
!.merica of the re-capture of Garaccas and La
Guayra by the Royalists, and the Insurgents are
said to have lost a considerable number of men.

The seas in the neighbourhood of the Leeward
Islands swarm with small armed vessels, com-
mitting depredations to a very great extent; the
ships of war on that station are very active in
putting a stop to these depredations, and several
of these pirates have been captured and sent into
St. Bartholomew's and St. Kitts.

Extract of a letter from Port of Spain, June
7:—" I have just a moment to inform you, that
Caracas was taken by General BERMUDEZ, on
the 14th of last month, after having defeated the
enemies' forces at Guatire on the 13th. He was
received there with enthusiasm by the inhabitants,
and 2000 men volunteered immediately for his
army. The bulletin of this important event is

in my possession to be forwarded to Mr. ZEA ;
and I have not time to send you a copy, as the
vessel is under weigh. Calahozo was evacuated
by General MORALES on the 12th, and he re-
treated to La Puerta on General PA EZ'S approach.
The game is up, I expect, with ale Spaniards at
Columbia."

WASHINGTON'S MONUMENT.------The United
States' sloop Peacock sailed from Civita Vecchia
April 13, whither she was sent by Commodore

BAINBRIDGE to receive from Rome the monu-
ment to WASHINGTON, for the State of North
Carolina : it was brought in the Peacock to Al-
gesiras, where Commodore BAINBRIDGE received

it on board the Columbus, it being so large that
it could not be got down the hatches of the
Peacock, but was lashed on deck : in this situa-

tion it was not deemed safe to trust it across the
.
Atlantic : is put up in two packages, each
weighing nearly four tons.
"We understand the Marquess of ITuNTLY

has three animals on his estate in Scotland, near
Aberdeen, known by the name of the A incrican
Bisons, or WU Bulls ; these are precisely the
same specie of animal so ingeniously new-named,
to astonish the credulous in London, under the

novel name of the Bonassus. According to the
Custom-house report it was landed two years
ago, and exhibited at Liverpool as the American
Bison three years old, with two red deer; we
are now informed that it is only seventeen months
old ! What an acquisition for JOHN Btn.r. at
next Bartholomew Fair.
DISPERSION OF A GANG OF GIPSIES.—In con-
sequence of depredations lately committed about the neighbour-
hoods of Paddington, Edgeware, and Hampstead, &c. informa-
tion was laid before the Vestry ofPaddington parish, that gangs
of gipsies had " pitched their tents" on Wrestbourne Green,
and other parts adjacent, and there was no doubt but they were
the perpetrators of some darinr, offences. Humphries and a
party of Officers were dispatchedr for the purpose of dispersing
them, when they found various marquees erected in distant fields,
and their swarthy inmates regaling themselves. Theo:Beers stated
the nature of their errand, and ordered the campers to disperse,
which they promised to do ; and there being rather a strong party
of desperadoes, the officers returned for the purpose of adding
strength to their forces. But
_as they were proceeding back
again, the gipsies, who laid wait for them, made an attack upon
the officers, and a desperate conflict was the consequence. How-
ever, they succeeded in apprehending two of the party, but the
others escaped, packed up their tents, and walked off, whilst the
two prisoners were brought in custody to Mirylebone office,
where they underwent examination. They gave their names
Smith and Ruff„ and were travelling gipsies. Ruff was a des-
perate fellow, and defied the Magistrate to punish him by send-
ing him to prison.. Smith was less violent, and expressed his
sorrow for what had happened, and was discharged, but the
other was committed for want of bail.

Harvest has already commenced in Cornwall.
Mr. RICHARD STEVENS, of Trago, in .the parish
of Crantock, commenced cutting barley and oats
on the 26th inst.

From the very favourable spring, there is every
reason to believe that game will be more abun-
dant the ensuing sporting season than for .several
years past. The young grouse are numerous.
