From Quebec they are to the 11th, and from Balti-
more to the 16th ult. New York Papers have
all,' arrived to the 21st. We learn little, or rather
nothing, from there papers respecting the affairs of
South America. With respect to the capture of
Amelia Island, we are now informed that the true
date of that important event wit the 30th of June,
instead of the 22d s but the date is the only circum-
tance in which the latter statements differ from those
which preceded them. The Spanish Authoritie
seem resolved to add all sorts of circumstantial evi-
dence to the accounts which they circulate of the suc-
cesses of the Royal arms.

By accounts received at Baltimore, it appears that
something like revolutionary movements had taken
place at Havanna!), both in the city and in the in-

It appears by letters from Pernambuco to the 27th
of June, that since the restoration of that city to the
Royal Government, the disaffected have been com-
pletely awed into silence. The most rigorous mea-
sures had, in the mean time, been put in force against
those who bad openly aided the Insurgents ; and, in
many instances, against those of the inhabitants who
had not actually opposed them. The property of
such persons was, for the most part, sequestrated,
with a view to final confiscations and the proceeds
were expected to realise a considerable sum. Trade
at Pernambuco was likely to revive. Eight or ten
vessels were left loading for Portugal, and were to
sail in company, under cuavoy of a Portuguese man-
of-war. About the same period was also to sail the
Ulysses, which bad arrived on the 20th of June, with
intelligence of the lon.of the Triomf°.

EXTRACT Cl A LZTTIVAIRON PUERTO CABELLO, ON THE
RANIER HAIR, DATED THE BOTH JUN&

" After leaving the Capes, we had a fine passage,
within ten leagues of Laguira, our port of destina-
tion, when we were unfortunately becalmed, and fell
in with a Spanish privateer, the crew of which boar-
ded and brought us ibto this port, contrary to all law.
The vessel and alto were immediately condemned,
and both sold on the 4th instant. Mr. Wilson, es
soon as informed of these proceedings, came down
from Laguira s but our utmost endeavours for a
restoration of the property were of no avail. What
will idd to the astonishment of all Americans,
is, that instead of being taken by what are called the
Patriots, whom we had cause to dread, and who are
at war with these robbers, we were captured by the
vary people whom we came to feed, the Spaniards
that acknowledge the Government of the King of
Spain. The marauders also robbed me of part of
my clothes. I shall remain here two or three weeks
longer, in the expectation of hearing from a Judge
who lives about 200 miles from this place, on whose
sanction or reversion of this condemnation much
depend."
