?TIM YORK, JANUARY so.

From tits Ista or MAY.—By the arrival this
morningof the brig Belvidere, Captain Jocelyn, from
the Isle of May in SS days, vie learn, that the day
she sailed a Portuguese schooner arrived there from
St. Jago with officers, troops, and guns, for the pur.
pose, of erecting fortifications and putting the place
in a posture of defence against further depredations
by pirates and Patriot privateers. A new General
from Lisbon had recently arrived to take the com-
mand at Porto Praya, St. Jago.
The British schooner Chance, of London, was
wrecked off Cusamada early in October. The crew
are saved, but the vessel was totally lost. The brig
Rover, Joner, was robbed by an armed brig off the
Brazils, of most of the articles of value on board. It
Is stated that Admiral Brown had arrived at Buenos
Ayres, and was immediately put under arrest. The
privateers l'Union, Independencia, and Invincible,
had brought in a number of prizes with fall and va-
liable cargoes.
FROM BUENOS Avazs.—Captain Gibson, of the
brig Emmeline, who arrived last evening, in, 59 days
from Buenos Ayres, has favoured us with the papers
of that place to the 21st of October. On the day
betoie the sailing of the Emmeline, advices reached
that port of the sun-ender of Talcahuana to the Pa-
triots. Advices had also been received, announcing
the sailing of the Chilean squadron, consisting of the
San Martin, of 64 guns, Captain Wilkinson; Lau.
taro, of 54 guns, Captain Wooster; corvette Chem-
buco, of 20 guns ; and brig Pueyredon, of 16 guns.
This squadron, it is said, was bound on a cruise
off Cape Horn, with the special view of intercept-
ing a fleet of transports expected from Spain.
—The armed ships Curiaci and Horatio, had arrived
at Buenos Ayres. in 62 clays from New York. On
the evening of their arrival, a Duel was fought on
board the Curiaci, between John I. Bigelow, master's
mate, and a midshipman named Farnarden, in which
the former received a ball ovetpne of his eyes, which
terminated his life in about iw?days and a half. A
Jury of Inquest held over the body, gave a verdict
