The Insurgent Privateers in the Gulf of Mexico
have received a considerable check from a cluarteil
whence it was perhaps least to be expected—from{,
the Emperor of HArry. His Majesty has denounced
them in due form as enemies to the free commerce
of his subjects, and has sent out a squadron from
Aux Cases, which has already succeeded in captur-
ing fourteen of these privateers, which have been
sent into port for condemnation.
The brig Imogene, CHITTY, which has arrived in
the Downs, from Hamburgh, is one of the squadron
destined for the South Seas, ;index the command of
Lord' CocuLsrn, whose ship is also expected in the
Downs in a few days, in order to proceed for the
same destination. _ •

a letter from Madrid, dated July 2, intelli-
gencehas been received of the safe arrival of the I
Spanish convoy from the *Havannah, consisting of 4
25 ships, which entered the port of Cadiz on the 28th
of June. The cargoes and metchandize brought by
this convoy are said to be extremely valuable.
By the William we have received letters from Tri-
nidad to the 2d of June; but they contain no addi-
tional news. The following is .a comparative state-
ment of the force of the Patriotic fleet under BRION,
and that of the Spaniards, when they met at sea about
the 20th of May. The Spanish Commodore sheered
off, and BRION did not follow him, in consequence
of having his vessels greatly encumbered by the e,up-
plies he had embarked at St. Bartholomew's for the
use of General BouvAn's army :,
rAzsiono Poacs.—Victoria, 94 guns, 120 Men.; General St.
Dlartin, 18 guns, 110 men ; Indian Libre, 8 guns, 60 men,
and one long le-pounder gnu; American Libre, 8 guns, 90
men, awl one long 18-pounder gun ; Oronolm, 10 guns, 80

8 guns, 30 men, and one long 18-pounder gun . 'Crirerriere, 6
guns, 50 trim and-one long irs.pouneer ; Crate, 8 guns,
80 men, and one long 18-pounder pin.
Seamus Foncs.-2 Ships, one of twenty-41z IS-pounder guns,
long, one armed eu flute; St large brigs; 9 heavy schooners—
all poorly manned.
Sierra Leone Royed Gazettes have been received to
the 9d of May. They contain nothing of any general
interest. The Governor, C. MAcAnzme, Esq. had
paid a visit to the new British Settlement of St.
Mary's, in the river Gambia, upon which occasion
he established some salutary regulations, and ex-
tended to the settlers all the rights and privileges of•
the English Constitution. He also facilitated the
adoption of arrangements for introducing the traffic
in gum—a branch of trade which cannot fail to be
attended with the greatest benefit, and which appears
to be not only practicable, but of easy acquisition.
Upon h s return to Sierra Leone, a public dinner was
given to him—the first entettainment of the kind, as
we learn from the. speech of the Chief Justice, that
• had ever been witnessed in the Colony.
It will be satisfactory to a respectable body of
• 'Britimh Merchants to learn. that the sufferers by cep
• tain confiscations of English merchandise at Bout-
Beaux in the year 1811, are to be indemnified to the,
• amount of 4.50,000 francs, in virtue of an agreenteat
signed tretwezu the two Croveuracnts.
