" A Portuguese brig, from Rio Janeiro to Monte Video, R ith

The Honourable Miss TOWN SEND, daughter of

the 74 gun ship) *hick was launched, at Woolwich,
on 'Thursday.

The English schooner Arm, liataxT, 90 days from
Cork, with 52 passengers, was bontd to Quebec, but
was taken possession of by the people on hoard, on
the Bth of August, in lat. 48.4`2. longs 34. 23. and
the master threatened to be thrown overboard) if he
made any resistance, and was conEned in his state
room. The mate was compelled to take charge of
the schooner, and navigated her to a port in the
United States. On the 10th August the Ann spoke
to the ship Sovereign, Powuts, 28 days from Nevis,
and bound to Bristol. The mate was sent from the
ship on board the schooner, but the passengers would
not permit the master to have any communication
with him, for fear his situation shouid be known. On
the following day the Ann spoke the Nile, of London,
(torn Campeachy for Liverpool ; a boat was sent to
the schooner, but the passengers would not let her
come along side. On the 10th September the Ann
made Cape Sables, in a starving condition, hoisted a
signal of distress, when she came up with the Ame-
rican ship Reindeer, and compelled the Captain to
carry the Ann into pert, which arrived at Boston the
13th September.—The passengers in the Aun were
chiefly distressed French erragrants.

PRivATE LETI4Eri.

A distressing report was circulated in this town ,
the week before last, stating that Mr. PICKYORD (a re-
spectabje cabinet-maker, and chair-manufacturer, of
this town, who emigrated to America some time
since), with him family, were among the persbns lost
in the Sine, .Captain DOAK, which was wrecked off
the Welch Coast, not far from Holyhead. It will
afford satisfaction to the numerous friends of this
Gentleman; to state, that he did not embark in thT
Sine ; but had previously sailed in the Rebecca, Cap-
tain SIMMS, from Liverpool ; said I understand that
letters have this week been received from hint, an-
nouncing his safe arrival at Philadelphia, with the
whole of his property—in which city, or in New
York, 'he intends carrying on his business, on an ex-
tensive scale. The flattering accounts that are con-
tinually arriving here, from those who have crossed
the Atlantic, act as a continual stimulus to emigra-
tion ; and not a week elapses that does not witness
the departure of different descriptions of artisans, for
the Land of Promise. The number that are prepar-
ing to emigrate early in the ensuing Spring, fiorn
this town alone, almost exceeds belief. These are not
confined to the young and the thoughtless ; there are
many persons among them of staid sober habits, part
the meridian of life; and who, to all appearance,
were comfortably settled in life.

All the persons wounded here, during tide late
unhappy disturbances, are recovered so far as to be
pronounced out of danger—two of them, however,
will remain cripples for life. The only loss of life
was that of TIIONIAS BROOKS, the unfortunate young
man who was shot at Messrs. GRAY'S factory.—Not
withstanding the large reward offered for the disco-
very of the persons who planned the attack on the
above factory. no clue has yet been obtained to lead
to their apprehension ; nor has suspicion attached to
any particular individual.
