el The smoke, for a week past, has been so exceed.
ingly thick as to render the navigation of the coast!
exceedingly difficult. On the docent coast, as far as
Frenchman's Bay in particular, it bai been very thick,
sad during the late gale cinders have been blown
aboard vessels at a considerable distance from 'the
shore. It has also been very offensive to the eyes of
persons travelling and at sea. A coaster lay for most
of Saturday night at about a mile distant 'from the
Boston light.boase, without being able to discern the
light.. The smoke yesterday was not quite so thick."
" BOSTON. OCTOBER 5.
“ The Nouhry's Herold of Tuesday has the fol-
lowing article By a letter received in town last
evening from Eastport, it appitars that an English
fleet had just arrived there, consisting of one 50-gun
ship, two SS gun fiigates, one gun brig, and a sloop
of war. American property of every description is
seized, and the people are talking of nothing but war.'
The 50 gun ship, the Acbar, we believe was sent,
from Halifax, to cruise along the coast, and to touch
at Shelburne, Moose Island, kc. to engage the minds
of the crew, who had discovered a mutinous disposi.
sinus. Seizures, it is reported, ban taken place for
*Hedged breaches of the Revenue laws, but we trust
this will not be found on trial to be the fact.—
We presume, a pardon of this property must be Bri-
tish. In• the present situation of England and, the
world, it is most probable a war is contemplated."

AFFAIRS OF SOUTH AMERICA.
The Spaniards, as appears by a letter written from
Madrid about the middle of October last, account
for their long delay, in receiving advices from Mexico,

in the following manner :
" For a lung time the Government bas been expecting, with
the utmost impatience, dispatches from the Viceroy of Mexico,
and was astonished at not receiving them, at a moment that the
war against the Independents is pushed with vigour. The, cause
if this delay4s at length known. The vessel tailed the San An-
tonio, which bad the dispatches of the Viceroy on board, was
impaired by a privateer in the Gulf of Mexko. The Merchants
ofteadiz have received the news, as well as a Bulletin, couched
in the following words- The army of the independents, Om-
mantled by the French Gineral Hussain?, has successively ex-
perienced several checks, which have disorganized ir. About
10.000 insorgeots have abandiimed it, throwing down their arms
4n order to return to their homes.' In a skirmish the Royal tinny
has cut to pieces a party of 100 men, composed of Frenchmen
and Orel/nets of dlffereat notions, who were out reconnoitring.
These men greatly ramble the, ancient Flibustiers, they fight
with an extraordinary latisrpidithand generally demand no quar.
My, 01` meet any. Obleral HllielleßT is in full retreat; dint-
WWI is among the Chiefs of hie army, and every thing announces
that Mexico will, ere long, be entirely subjected to the Royal'
authority. Under these drcomstances Gdvernment has given
orders to redouble activity, in order to -accelerate the departure
of the espedidun preparing at Cadiz, and it is hoped it will bt
ibis to sail in the beginning of November."
This is the first time the Spaniards have given the
name of Independents to their Trans-Atlantic bre.
dist% formerly they were only Insurgents or Rebels.
This is also the first time we learn of General Hum-
asar's army being composed of such numbers, or
men of such determined valour. This is the same
man who landed in Ireland, and of what he is capa-
ble. he himself has given us ample proof. It is, in
this very month, six. years since the Milken fevolu.
Lion broke out. and every year, from that period,

nay, at the receipt of every dispatch, the Madrid
government has told the world it was at an end.
When HIDALGO was taken, we were assured it was
all over ; and the same when the brave MoneLos fell
a victim to the Viceroy's ferocity. If this• was really
the case, why hasten the expedition from Cadiz
that same expedition of which, a year ago, we re-
ceived a list of the regiments it was to consist of, and:
when it was also asserted it was to sail immediately;
Whatever be .the threats of the Spanish Government
at home, the revolutioaarp flame in Mexico, as wall
las the other sections, has become too nide and too
[ general to be extinguished by Spain in her present
impotent : state, and the. host of buld adventureri
flocking from Europe, as well as the United States
to join the standard of Columbian freedom, entitl
us to hope that the struggle will not now be long, as
the supplies of arms are abundant, the only requisite
before wanted.

With regard to the defeat of General HUMBERTA
Of which, the preceding bulletin boasts, we can only.
say, that by the mail of yesterday we received letters'
from Cadiz of the 3d ult. mentioning tharseveral
vessels had arrived front Vera Cruz, but without any
news whatever.

A letter from a Gentleman of Glasgow, dated'
from Paris on the 9th of October, contains the folul
lowing comet You will .wander, but it is not
less true, that there is not a vestige of trimmings to
be seen on the Ladies' dresses in NHL Thei are all
lowed patterns be muslin.' The• patterns of shawls
here are very pretty, sad Scottish robes and Scottish
'estuilin are in high • repute.' There is scarcely any
inning else wornbut cotton stuffs, by high and low,
excepting the Court. The Ladies seem very partial
Ito printed calicoes, especially the country."
