The Adventure, Iwolon, from Liverpool to
Kitts, was taken on the 21st November by two freed
frigates, bound from the East-Indies to Brest. W
trust that this is the only capture by tint move
/dial we shall have to record,

It is now so strongly believed that peace is signal
between the Russians and Turks, that the merchants
in some respects are acting upon that conviction. It
is farther added..we know not on what authority, that
we shall +aye an open trade in the Kakis next season.
On this presumption, colonial produce has been.pro•
gressively on the rise for some time past. Coffee has
advanced of late full 12s. per cwt. Yesterday sopr
experienced a farther rise of 2s. per cwt. The order*
from abroad for these articles are very extensive.—
The generally received opinion is, that the signi:liof
the peace between Russia and the Porte will be the
signal for the former Power's renouncing the 4, Con.
tinental System."

We have received a number of American Paper,'
principally from New York, but not of later dates
than those we have before noticed. They give as
account of a dreadful storm in lat. 41. from the kg-
book rt. the SFartan, which vessel appears to hue
been s lived by the intrepidity of her crew, some of
whom volunteered to go aloft to lower the sails, at &
time when this service was so dangerous as to allow
the Captain to issue no command for that purpose.
We do not find that any of them fell a sacrifice to
their intrepidity.
The American ship Maddalena, Witctsues, fol
Savannah, arrived at Greenock on Thursday, 10 "
days, and has brought American papers to the Mb
tilt. In The Columbian Museum and Savannah ifeartom
there is an interesting correspondence between Nh.
MONROE and our Minister, Mr. FOSTER, regal*
the rencontre between the President and Lunt
BELT. The New Toni Nereid of the 16th of Novi'
ber, brought by this vessel, contains a complete Fit
tradiction of a story which appeared in the Ammo.,
papers some time ago, against Captain Bisonesi,ol
the LrFTLE BELT, and sworn to by a J. Aikins,
pretended he was an American, and on board at this
time of the action. It appears, that Aikins is not as
American, but a Canadian, and was born in Caudal
he was never on board the Little Belt, nor either otd'd
two men whom he says were pressed at the same tI
that he was. until taken from the ship Traveller, cl,
New York, long after the engagement with the en*
dent. The Herald concludes thus, We mut got
the measures taken to discover this Aikins may Prl

of the names of those who have been guilty nt *
