NEW YORK, JULY 26.—8 y the arrival at this
port, on Sunday last, of the schooner ihnerican,
6 days from the Havannal►, we learn that the ar-
mament reported as having sailed from that place
to the relief of St. Augustine was nothing more
or less than a large number of Guinearnen which
sailed on the I Ith ult., under convoy, for the
ti-itsta of Africa. The news of the capture of
Amelia Island had not reached Havannab on the
6th inst.

NAbSAU;JULY 15.—8 y the recent arrivals from
Havanna') we learn, with regret, that the mortality

has been great among the shipping, and that it
still continued to be very sickly,--Another Spanish
vessel, with a cargo and specie to the value of

16,000 dollars, has been taken on her passage
from Principe to this port.

Rencounter between the Spanish Brig Consulado
and a Patriot armed Schooner.—On the night of
the 29th June, lat. 23. 18. long. 78. 30. the Con
suiado brig gave chace to an armed schooner,
which was near a ship, and who manoeuvred very
suspiciously. The schooner neared the Con-
sulado ; when within pistol shot, the Consulado
hailed and enquired the character of the schooner;
was answered with much sang froid, that " she
was a Carthagenian cruizer fitted out in New Or-
leans." The Consulado then replied with spirit,
" this is the Spanish Government brig Consulado
from the Havannah," and hoisted the American
flag, and the firing immediately commenced on
both sides. The schooner boarded the Consula-
do twice; a sharp contest took place with fire
arms, swords, &c. and the enemy were defeated
in this mode of attack. A brisk running fight
then ensued, until the Consulado lost sight of the
schooner, the chace having been kept up for
twenty-two leagues. The loss of the Consulado
was two killed, including an officer of ma-
rines, and twenty-one severely wounded.—
The forte of the schooner was believed to be
one long brass 18 or 24 pounder amitlihip,
and three long 9 pounders, with a crew of about

100 men. The loss of the schooner is supposed
to be very great, from the Consulado's heavy fire
and good management, as well as from the feeble
manner in which tilt schooner was defended at the
conclusion of the affair'

EXTRACT' oF A LETTER FROM THE AGENT TO
LLOYD'S AT CHEISTIANsAND, DATED IBTH INST.

"By accounts from Fahrsund of the 151 b inst.,
a three-masted schooner, supposed to be a Turk,

captured a 'toy off the coast on the I I tit, in the
afternoon : she was coming from the westward,
steering east. The cruizer fired a gun, and shortly
after took possession of the merchantman and
Steered west.—A great many vessels are lying
wind-bound in various harbours on this coast,
the tveatifet' having been tempestuous this last
fortnight ricith the west and south."

EXTRACT OP A i.ETTEE FROM THE AGENT To,
i.Lo Y D'S AT DARTMOUTH, DATED 28TH iNsr.

" Arrived day the St. Joseph French lug-
ger, from Fecamp : she was captured and sent in
by the Vigilant Admiralty cutter, Lieutenant
MILLER, having on board G 44 tubs of spirits."

There was a striking speeinten yesterday in Tie
Morning Chronicle, of that intrepidity of assertion
which distinguishes the Opposition writers, boi
mote peculiarly that Paper. It had the hardihood
to declare, as it said " on the authority of the
first respectability," that "under the powerful me-
diation of Russia, Great Britain, and other marl.-
time Powers, have been bound by a Treaty to
act in concert to effect the sttbrnission and pacifi-
cation of the Spanish lioionies, establish a.
new 'political regimen, and indemnity Spain
for the capture of her slave-trading vessels:' We
did not think it at all necessary even to notice.
this sweeping treaty, that is stated to have such
comprehensive objects, yesterday, because we did
not conceive that any body capable of the leaSt
reflection would suppose, that this " authority
of the first respectability," could be any other than
the authority of The Morning Chronicle, which,
no doubt, it considers as of " tke first respectabi-
lity." We will allow that Paper to entertain as
much respect for itself as it pleases, but we
believe that the people will rely more upon
the authority-of Government, and we may ven-
ture to affirm that nothing has transpired front
Ministers on this subject, a subject that would in-
volve the most important considerations. We
shall not, however, employ ourselves in any spe-
culations upon the policy of the measure which
The Chronicle so dashingly asserts to hare taken
place, till there is something better than its own
" authority of the first respectability," to ascer-
tain the fact of its existence.

The Baltimore Papers notice the apprehension
of a Thomas Shotwell, in New Orleans, a noto-
rious counterfeiter ; it appears, however, that he
has again eluded justice ; he had taken his pabsagi.t.
on board the Ohio, Capt. TORY, of this Port
(Baltimore); while at the Balize he was arrested
on board that ship, and spurious money to the
amount of 70,000 dollars taken from him ; he was
then landed at the Balize, and thence the Ohio

Yesterday we received a letter from St.

one sloop or war, two brigs, and some schooners.

A letter has been published in the Memorial
Bordelais, of the 20th ult. (with reference to
late statement respecting the family of Toys-
SAINT LOUVEItTURE) from. ISAAC LOUVERTURE, ,
stating, in the first place, that he is not dead, as
reported in the Journals, and adding, that his two'
brothers, JEAN PIERRE and St. JEAN LoUVER-
TURE, are dead, and that he has curly one brother'
surviving, who resides at Agen, where his mother
died. He says that the individual who attempted;
in 1814, to pass himself in England as St. JEAN

The OPERA Ilouse, has been one of the mon
troublesome concerns ever brought into. Court'.
It does not, however, seem to disturb the LORD
CHANCELLOR'S vein of humour, and the Learned

DISTRESSING FIRE AT NEMPOUNDLAND.—S?..
JoHN'S, N. B. June 24.—0 n Wednesday the 18th,
between 11 and 12 A. M., a most destructive fire
• broke out at Carbonear,on the premises occupied
by a person named Barry : the wind blew a heavy
gale from the westward, which scattered the flame
ing fragments like a shower over the town. The
Aielliodist chapel (nearly half a mile from the spot
where it cornsrenced) was in a few moments to•
tally consumed, from some of the burning matter
alighting amongst shavings in the church-yard,.—
The parsonage-house providentially escaped. From
the chapel the fire was carried half a mile further,
and destroyed a house inhabited by Thos. Clark,
at Croker's-cove. In the mean time 15 houses
in town weretotally destroyed. We have not
heard of any lives being lost.
