NAFAL INTELLIGENCE.

II On the 14th Nov. the British brig Nymph, from London six
weeks, bound to Port-au-Prince, with a full cargo of dry goods,
was spoke by an hermaphrodite brig, showing no colours, who
ordered the Cap; in on board with his Papers, and allowed her
to proceed, after examination. At eleven, r. as. two boats
fun of men rpwed alongside the brig, knocked the m.tn down
who was at the helm, hove the brig to, allowed the crew only
fifteen minutes to hoist out the long.boat, gave it to them,
and set them adrift, without a farthing or anything, and a Lady
(passznger), whom they sadly wanted to retain, but her en-
treaties overcame their barbarity, and she was allowed to go in
the boat; and, as far as *thy), could observe the boat, they fired
muskets at her.'Tice next day the brig was seen standing to the
West of Cape St. Nicholas :dole; the crew were taken out by
a French ship, and brought to Port-au-Prince.

A letter of the Ist inst. from Lisbon, says—" We
had an arrival from Madeira yesterday morning,
which created the greatest sensation here : no less
than the Bishop of the Island, and several other per.
sons of distinction, came prisoners on board an Ent,-
lish brig. It seams that several emissaries sent from
this place, had, previously to the Proclamation of the
Spanish Constitution there, assured the ?rincipal in.
habitants, that positive, though not official accounts
had reached Lisbon, of the entire approbation of his
Majesty, relative to all that had come to his know-
ledge of the movements in Portugal. Upcin this
a Petition was made to the Governor, not to delay
any longer the Proclamation, which he seemed dis-.
inclined to do until his orders to that effect should
have reached him through. the regular channel.—.
He had not firmness to follow the suggestions of his
better judgment, and the Revolution of the 28th ult.
took place. When, however, a more accurate ac-
count of the state of things in Portugal readied Fun-
chal, and when it was clearly seen that all allegi-
ance to the King was, in fact, thrown off by those at
the head of affairs, a large proportion of the inhabi-
tants began to express their disinclination to follow
the steps of their Peninsular neighbours, or to impli-
cate themselves in their Councils by sending Deputies
to the Cortes. This proved exceedingly disagreeable
to the above emissaries and their partizans, who began
to dread the effect which a revulsion in the public
opinion might have upon their own personal safety.
They accordingly resolved to be before-hand with
their antagonists; and two of them, in execution of a
concerted scheme, waited on the Governor in the
middle of the night with a forged letter, which they
pretended to have intercepted from one of the pi in-
cipal Officers in the island, to the Commander of
a certain Portuguese ship of war, (whose name it
will not be prudent to mention), and written 'with
the intent to induce him to come to the island; an4,l
inveigling the Governor on board, to keep him pri-
soner, when, it went on to state, they would immedi-
ately substitute the Bishop in his !.lace. The Go-
vernor was so wrought upon by this statement that
he issued immediate orders tor the arrest of the
Bishop, and others suspected, and caused them, with
their guards, to be conveyed pi isoners to this place,
on board the brig , W. Foreman, master.—
They left Madeira on the 23d ultimo, and had a pat.
sage of only seventy-two hours. These particulars
I have learnt from the report of one of the Post-
°Meets, none of the letters which were brought by
the brig having been allowed to be delivered; hut,
as I am informed, there were tao addressed to —,
I hope soon to learn further particulars; which, if
the packet be not sailed, 1 shall add to th:s."
St. Patrick owes St. David a tuna, as the Gentle-
men of the Stock ,Exchange would term it, or, as is commonly
said, " One good turn th serves another."—Oa the First instant
was the Second Drawing of the Lottery, and it was also St,
David's Day, on which day an entire Prize of £21,000 was the
property of one of the Tickets sent to Ireland; therefore, lit.
David behaved very politely to St. Patrick and we think the
Manmade will not be outdone in politeness or gen. roaity by the
; therefore, as Next Satunidy.is S. Pa!rires Day, and the
Lst Day of Drawing of the Lottery, the Hiternion Saint fought
to draw a 1.21,000 to be the property of the Tiles, and that
would be paying the Cambrian Sider in his own way.—This may
easily be done, as tlit re are Three £21,000 Prizes to draw, and
ei mita be Drawn Vert Suturda.7.

THE ROCKY SHORES OF DEL

Tors—" Le•-Rigg."
The tempest rages round yon beach,
AM beats the seamen's sandy graves,
The sea-fowl darts, wi' mony a screech,
Above the wild majestic wares:

Sad Messery stops the 'wailing tear,
AM kindly whispers thus to me, .

• -
That waves like these, we notes mair dear,
Still wash the rocky shores o' Die !

'Ms not the Dee's enchanting roar,
Where caves resound, and whirlpools boil,
/for where she slowly sweeps the share,
Which frilly guards 3. Maya Me—
lba 'tis for them who sang my strains,
When equal minds and years agree,
That I Jere the banks, the plains, •
-The falls, and rocky shares ie Dee!
Though other mews my feelings wound,
And natare's dearest laws disdain,
Where tyrants spread heir veils around,
And slaves is darkness drag the chain;
Though o'er my bead quick lightnings blase,
And round me seen ail angry sea,
My absent said serenely strays,
Meng the rocky shores e Dee !
Let heroes strut the csimson'd grass,
Where wounded hearts in glory bleed :
. Let Fame present the mimic brass,
And venal songs ezak the deed:
Groat me this prayer, when death stands by,
Wi' lifted dart, and stedfast ee—
'Mang Freedom's sons my dust may lie,
Beside the rocky shores a' Dee !
