The Sr. PIERRE sloop of war, Captain HOUSTON,
arrived at Portsmouth on Saturday, with dispatches
from Guadaloupe, relating to the affairs of the Spa-
nish Main. They contain, we understand, further ad-
vices concerning the late determination of the inha-
bitants of the Caraccas, in declaring themselves inde-
pendent of the mother country. The dispatches were
forwarded to London immediately. The St. Pierre
left Barbadoes on the 29th of May, and Guadaloupe
on the Ist ult. having had a short passage of twenty-
nine days. At the former place were lying the Nep-
tune, of 98 guns, Vice Admiral COCHRANE ; Aber-
crombie, Pompee, Danemark, and Sceptre, of the
line ; Nyaden, Surinam, Opossum, Arachne, and
Merope. Sir ALEXANDER COCHRANE and the squa-
dron were very healthy. There had been no event
lately of any importance, attending any of the ships
on that station.

The Druid, Sir WILLIAM Bovrox, arrived at
Portsmouth on Friday, in six weeks from Jamaica.—
She sook out a convoy. Every thing was tranquil
on that station. There had been no appearance of
an enemy's vessel for some time. The Aurora fri-
gate, Captain DUER, is coming home with the June
convoy. The Polyphemus ( Admiral Rowtex's flag
ship), and Sappho, were lying at Fort Royal. The
Druid landed a freight of merchants' money, at
Portsmouth, in the course of Saturday.
The ship Wellington arrived on Friday at the Mo-
ther Bank, Portsmouth, from St. Lucie. She sailed
lon the 24th of April, under convoy of the Blonde.—
The Master died on the 29th of April, and his wife
on the sth of May, of the yellow fever. The Mate
and greater part of the crew were also attacked with
that disease, and there was no one remaining that
could navigate the ship. Upon which Lieutenant
QUARRY and Lieutenant SMITH, passengers in the
Blonde, instantly volunteered their services to assist
in bringing the ship to England. They afterwards
parted from the convoy, and having experienced very
bad weather, suffered much from a want of provisions
and water. Being off the Western Islands, they for-
tunately fell in with the Spanish ship Castilia, from
Lima to Cadiz, which humanely supplied them with
beef, water, and twelve bottles of ne for the sick.
, The Wellington remained under quarantine on Sa-
turday.

A number of American vessels, principally be.
longing to Boston, have been seized at Hayti, by.
CEIRISTOPITE, because the President of the United
States had ordered the detention of the vessel fitting
out for that Chief at Baltimore, under the direction
of his Admiral GOODALL.

Letters have been received from Canada of the 23d
of March, only two days later than the date of Sir
J. CRAIG'S Proclamation. The letters, which are
from officers, state what might be anticipated from
the conciliatory tendency of the Proclamation, that it
had been attended with the happiest effect in tran-
quillizing the minds of the inhabitants.

The powder-hoy cat ried off by the French prisoners
from Hamoaze, last week, is supposed to be got clean '
off. The value of the powder and vessel is said to be
between two and three thousand pounds.
The Gazette of Saturday night contains an Order
in Council, directing that all vessels coming from
places whence quarantine is required to be Orform-
, ed, not only those bound to the port of Liverpool, or
any creek or place belonging to the said port, but
also all vessels bound to the ports of Carlisle, White-
haven, Lancaster, Preston, Chester, Beaumaris, and
the Isle of Man, and any Creek or place belonging
to any of the said ports, shall in future perform their
quarantine at Bromborough Pool, instead of High-
lake or Milford Haven, as directed by an Order in
Council of the sth of April, 1805.
Thursday a Lieutenant of one of his Majesty's
armed vessels, was taken before the Magistrates at
Lewes, by the constables of Brighton, on a charge of
having endeavoured to provoke a Gentleman of the
name of Pinlerson to engage with him in a duel.—
The result of the journey to Lewes was, that the
Lieutenant was compelled to find two sureties in a
bond of £5O each, for keeping the peace for six
months, himself being bound over in a bond of 8100.
A letter from Memel, dated the 20th May, states,
that a disagreeable occurrence had taken place at
Dantzic, in consequence of the capture of a packet-
boat belonging to some English merchants, and the
dispatches not being properly sunk when thrown
overboard, having been picked up by the privateer.
Five French officers are appointed to open and in-
spect the contents ; after which, report says, they are
intended to be forwarded to Paris, which will com-
pletely devclope the trade carried on with Britain.
The Gloucester Coffee-house, in Piccadilly, was at
seven o'clock, last night, thrown into great conster-
nation, the chimney having caught fire. It was,
however, soon got under ; the alarm being given,
several engines came to the spot ; a great concourse
of people, who were on their return from the Parks,
assembled round the house.

Two horses belonging to Mr. Bower, of the Crown
Inn, in Nottingham, were drowned last week at Trent
Bridge. They were on their return from Newark,
with a post•chaise, when the driver, with a view of
washing their legs, turned down with them into the
river, but proceeding too far, they were carried away
by the force of the stream. The driver escaped by
catching hold of the abutments of the arch.
