NEW YORK PAPERS.

NEW YORK, JUNE s.
Our Readers are already acquainted with the fact,
that beef, butter, and potatoes have been imported
into New York, Philadelphia, and 1141timore, in the
course of the spring. It is an extraordinary fact, that
these articles, notwithstanding the freight, insurance,
duties, &c. have been sold lower than similar articles
of domestic growth, and yet have yielded to the im-
porter a handsome mercantile profit.
We understand that a company is now forming in
this city to import a full cargo of butter from Ireland
for this market in the en►uing autumn. It is believed!
that the company will be able to supply our citizens
with as good butter as is made in any part of our coun-
try, and at a considerably reduced price :.and one of
our most. respectable brewers has informed us, that
himself and others are now making arrangements to
import their barley and hops from England. Phis
state of things, however, we presume, cannot cond.
nue, long, as we do not believe that there is any scar-
city of these articles in this country.
We understand that the United States sloop of war
Peacock, commanded by Captain G. W. Rodgers,
will sail from this port tomorrow morning for Havre-
de-Grace. Albert Gallatin, Esq. Minister to the
Court of France, goes out in this vessel.

RICHMOND (VIRGINIA), JUNE 1.
Just as our Paper is preparing for press, we hear of
a most distressing occurrence. We have seen a Gen-
tleman who has seen his two wounded friends. The.
*, world is aware of a dispute some time esitting he-',

and Thomas Wells, a delegate from Nottoway in the
General Assembly. It has led to a war in the News.
papers; but not, until now, to bloodshed. On Wed-
-nesday evening Judge Randolph rode to the Court-
house of Nottaway, to inspect some papers at the
clerk's office; his friend and cousin Colonel Greenhill
was in his company, until he came within a short
distance of Mr. Wells's house. .
Wells keeps a public house, the piazza of which is
near the road.- Judge Randolph went to the clerk's
office, and on his return by Welles house, approach-
ed it as if to speak to Mr. Wells,' and stepped into
the piasza. Wells CAM* to the door; no conversa-
tion, or a very short one, ensued ; the latter fired and
shot Judge Randolph in the breast ; hz staggered
out of the house, and had not yet fallen, when Colo-
nel Greenhill, who had been to the gaol and heard
the report of the pistol, came up and found him
grounded. Judge Randolph told him of what passed,
and begged him not to hurt Wells.' •
The latter acain came to the door, and ordered
Colonel Greenhill oft The Colonel refused to obey
the command ; when Wells fired at him and wound-
, ed him with two balls, one of which struck on one
side of his neck, and wounded round to the other ;
the other is hot yet found. After a short time, the
two Gentlemen were removed.

NANFE.S. JUNE 29.
A letter from the Commissary-General of the V 4
rine at L'Orient to the principal Commissary at sot
port tires the following details:
46 For some time back, some pirates have been
cruizing among the Turkish islands: others who
went out from Carthagena, when that city was takra
by the Spanish Royal Army. are often wrecked upon
La Beate, or the Island des Vignes. They generally
frequent the rocks of St. Louis, and approach the
main land during the night; and they are sometimes
seen upon the Point des Salines, or in the Bay of
Ocoz. It is said that several of the latter vessels are
commanded and armed by Frenchmen. They have
on board some negroes and some Spanish riders...-
According to the account which has been given to
me. they commence their chace under the Spar.idi
flag, and then they hoist the tricoloured ft vv.,. Tiler
also use, as occasion serves, the flags of Christriphe
and Petion. I beg you to make knewn to the C
tains of the ships which direct their course to St. Do-
mingo, the dangers that they may run in these ?Atli.'

ALCERINE PIRATE„S.
At a moment when all Europe re-echoes cries el
indignation at the frightful event that occurred at
Bona, and when it is manifest even to minds km
susceptible of commiseration, that great and prompt
measures are indispensable for avenging Christendom
for all the outrages long suffered from the inhabitants
of the northern coast of Africa, it is our duty to
announce the Memnrial we have received from Sir
Sidney Smith, " Qa the Necessity and Means of path,:
a stop 19 the Piracies of the Barbary States." This Me-
morial is accompanied by tour otlizial, Of other pieces
all relating to this important :object. We ch4ll only

will terminate :

We are sorry to state that the late failures in
the City have created general gloom and dis-
may. 'Phis morning a great depression has taken
place, which is attributed to more domestic embar.
rissments. Consols for the Account opened at 64i.
tad by twelve o'clock had fallen to 641. Reduced,
for money, commenced -at 63, and fell to 62i, and
the Market at that time was in a very depressed state.

the first transfer to-morrew ; the Dividends commence

vying to the Public on Tuesday next.

We have received the Paris Papers of Tuesday.
The fooleries. of the Patriots of 1816 continue to be
developed still farther by the examinations now
going on.. PLEIGNIIIR, the currier, on Monday, again
insisted on seeing the KING, on the pretence of having
important State secrets to communicate. The truth
is, the ideot knows nothing more than is already
divulged, and merely wishes to pass himself off as the
Pirre of the plot. We think, for the sake of justice,
iris claim to pre-eminence will be acknowledged by
bis being hanged. The miserable crew who acted
tinder him are more objects of pity than of punish-
sent.—Tile KING condescended to send his Chan-
cellor to PLEtoNtut on Sursday, to learn whet he had
io say, but without effect. In the examination of
Monday, PLEIGNIEII alluded to this visit iu the follow-
ing way:—
After denying that he knew the name of ,the per-
son whom he employed to print his .treasonable Pro•
elamatinn, he admitted that he psid him 40 or 50
francs for his trouble.

The PI:ESIDENT then said; 'Your mrmlry is re-
turning : we :1)411 take advantage of it to interrogate
you again as to your projects."
PLEIGNIZR..--" I hal the honour to appear before
the Chancellor yesterday ; •I persisted—.
The l'aistroor.64 I know nothing nt that."
Pleignier...." I told him that I had the lienour to
tell you, that. l should speak to the King—( With
rot forte).—l shall speak to him. Gentlemen, be
;tiered of it, I shall speak to him. It is important
to his Kijesty that I should appear betore liim."
The PRESIDIINTsiI Then there must be a very ex-
tensive and well organized project i"
Pleignier—( After a long silence) •••44 I have so reve-
htion to make."
The examination of the rest of the Conspititors
then went on, but nothing interesting came out.

Lord Fitzroy Somerset is expected at Paris.

It is said that the promotions.in the Legion of Ho-
acur, which in terms of the King's Ordonnance were
