Mr. Mons, who has returned to America in
the Macedonian frigate, from a mission, to'Gen.
111Oatt.LO, to obtain the release of all the. Ameri-
cans niade prisoners at Carthagena, reports to his
Government, that without equivocation or delay
the Spanish General had given up to him all the
Americans who remained in prison at the time of:
his arrival at eartinigenttand St. Martha. Much
is stated in the Attlerican- Papers respecting the
operations ot•i3oLivAa but, from a compadion
or dates, and other circumstances, we do not find
a single occurrence of ititerest which has not al,

e)splain away time charge of piracy against the
reomp schooner, which does not deserve notice.

ittinaway Negroes and hostile Indians, it seems,
liave taken possession of the Fart erected at Ap-
palarhicola Bay, within the Spanish' territory,
formerly a British station. They are complained
of by the Americans as having done, and still con-
tinuing to do, lunch mischief to the Whites when-
ever opportunity offers.

The Creek Indians were said at ore time to
have been a little restless, but to have recently
become more tranquil. The Chiefs are dishatis-
fied with the cession of their territory and it is
even still declared, that the hostility of the great
body of the Nation can be reitriinol only by the
presence of a respectable military force ready to
repel immediately every aggression they may com-
mit.

Tit Symmetry, MANGZR, arrived at Hull, Tett
Greenlarid on the 28th July ; the weather was
then thick and rongh. In her passage to Shet-
land the winds blew strong easterly; and accord-
ing to the accounts received there, it had blown
front the same, quarter for about a month, with
scarcely any intermicsion.—This is considered as
the reaon why we hare as yet had no arrivals

On these grounds we beseech our Countrymen,

may be seen at our Office, confirm the above

The trouble, the expellee, the pain, and the
danger fif Etnigration, ought also to be taken
into consideration by those who arc tempted to
abandon their native land. They will then find
that the balance it greatly' in favour of remaining
contented at home in the laud of true liberty and
rational enjoyment.

Another trial of however still greater interest
has been tried at the tame place, viz. the cat! of

informed, invalidates an inconsiderable number of

consequently has placed their offspring in a most
unpleasant ptedicament.
