BOSTON, AUGUST IS:

AUXILIARY AnMY off Paau.—Bulletin No. 22 gives
a narrative of proceedings from May 1 to the 11th.
A party of the Republicans had penetrated into the
Province of Potosi ; and the Royalists in that quarter,
tinder General TAcon, had retreated to Arequipa.
The main body of the Royalists. under General Jose
de la Sonna, evacuated Salta May 5. having occu-
pied it twenty days. Colonel Martin Greases en.
tered the town on the same day.
A letter from Don Gregoro Las Heras to the Su-
preme Director of Chili. Don Bernardo O'Higgins,
dated at Conception. May 6th, mentions, that be was
attacked by an enemy's force of 1500 or 1400 men,
whom he repulsed with the loss of three pieces of
artillery, a great quantity of arms and ammunition,
500 prisoners, and 100 killed.

PHILADEI:PHIA, AUGUST 9.

It is scarcely conceivable what purpose i: can an-
swer, to represent St. Augpstine, in Florida. as a
position resembling Gibraltar. It is nothing more
than a quadrangle, with regular bastions at the an.
gles ; its principal strength consists in the excellence
of the stone of which it is composed, quarried in the
adjacent island of Anastasia. The town, which does
not contain more than SOOO persons, is also surrounded
by a wall, which, with the houses, are of similar pms-
terials with the tort ; but it is no way superior to
Mobile. which General Waiussom took with no
more men than General M'Gaaooa commands—but
an attack at St. Augustine is not in the views ofl
General M,GREGOR.

The importance of his present position, where Yes.
eels of any burden may find a harbour and a safe
landing, and very soon a good market, cannot be de-
bited to be exchanged for St. Augustine, into the
Barbour of which no vessel can enter that draws more
than 8 feet.

Extract of a letter from from an Officer of the
Firebrand (lately from Vera Cruz), dated Balise,
July 5:

" Mr. William D. Roblmon Is closely combed In the Castle
it Val CM& lle wai Like ac du. bold of a regimen of Pa

triots, at or hear Xaiapa. The t'h'e-Roy his given positive
orders to have him kept In rime +eonpnement. His sitestion is
deplorable—he has been imprisoned upwards Of tine months*
subsisting on a wretched pittance of bad victuals. During that
period he has hid only two chriges of linen. In this tryii.g cap-
tivity, be does not suffer his for;ftu•)e to fin.

" Every hour he expects to be tbrown into the hula of some
vessel, loaded with chains, and sent to Old Spain. lie has nu-
merous friends in Vera Cruz, and ehroughtOit the province of
Mexico, who are much concerned about his fa•e—but their
in iti-
euce caa avail nothing. He is believed to be so dangerous a charac-
ter, of such great talents and vast inauence over the Patriots, that
the least indukence will not be granted him, lest lie should make
his escape He has addressed a long Memorial to the Secretary
of State, imploring the interposition of our Government, bring a
Citizen of the United States."

Letters from Cad:z announce, that they are
again troubled with a visit from the Insurgent pri-
vateers. Two of them were in the oiling, and
blockaded the harbour so hermetically, that even the
coasting vessels could not venture in and out. This
is the port too from which an Expedition, intended
to rival in its effects those of CORM and l'izAulio,
is to issue

The Principe do Pedro, Portuguese frigate, and a
Portuguese brig of war. sailed from Lisbon on the
14th ultimo, with nine vessels, Lull of troops, for Rio
Itneiro t and with five ♦essels, full of troops, for
I'wentysis merchantmen also sailed in com-
pany for different parts of the Brazils.

Saturday afternoon his Majesty's store-ship Tortoise,
Mr. Taos. Cook, Commander, arrived at Portsmouth
horn Rio Janeiro, which port she left on the 22d July.
She was under way, and coming out of harbour on
the 18th ; but in passing Fort Santa Cruz, a gun
without shot was fired, which, it was presumed, was
intended as a signal to send a boat to the shore ; but
in less than a minute afterward, a second gun with a
s'tot was fired, which carried away the shi p's main-
top gallant-lilt, sshile the seamen were lulling the
sail, and went through her fore-top-sail. She imme-
diately anchored, and sent a boat to the Fort with
the second Master, to inquire the reason of the insult.
Finding the boat was detained, Mr. Cook. went on
shore himself, and discovered his officer and men de-
tained as prisoners. He stated, that he commanded
a King's ship, that he was the bearer of important
dispatches to the English Government, and also from
the Portuguese Ministry to their Ambass +dor in Lon-
don; but the Governor of the Fort replied, he did
not care who he was, or what was his errand, that he
would detain his people until his ship returned to the
harbour.—The Tortoise accordingly put back, and
Mr. Cook made his representations to Capt. SHARPE,
of his Majesty's ship Hyacinth, and to the Ambassa-
dor, and the answer, or apology is, we believe, come
home in the Tortoise, addressed to Lord CASTLE•
RICAGN. The people of the Tor;oise who had been
detained were sent on board about sun-set, having
been kept oilier a guard, standing in the heat of a
vertical sun, without being allowed to sit or lie down,
and were even refused a supply of water when asked
for. These onstances of capricious oppression are
frequently practised on merchant-ships. The Tor-
toise has brought home a supply of timber for the
Dock-yard.

His Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT visited
the Coast of France, from whence he was landed at
Brighton, in safety and in high spirit;, on Saturday
afternoon at one o'clock, having been four days and
three nights at Sea 1 On Thursday morning, the
yacht and ships of war stood off for the Coast of
France, but the wind shifting to the southward, a
' boat was dispatched to the shore, for the PRINCE'S
" letters. They Al again stood over for the French
coast, and were off Dieppe, close in with the land,
early on Friday morning; where communication
being had, the yacht and squadron eruized across the
Channel again, and reached Brighton at one o'clock
on Saturday, when the PRINCR landed, regretting
that, his presence being required in town, he was ob-
liged to disembark. His Royal Highness slept on
board three nights. He was gratified beyond descrip-
tion, and enjoyed the highest state of health and
spirits during the whole of the excursion. His Royal
Highness set off for London soon alter he landed ;
and the ROYAL GEORGE, TIBER, and INCONSTANT,
returned to Spithead in the evening, alter a run of
five hours from Brighton Roads. It was given out
to the squadron, that in case the ships should sepa-
rate in the night, they were to rendezvous at Ports•
mouth. His Royal Highness, on disembarking,
presented the Hon. Captain PAGET with an elegant
snuff-box, in testimony of his high gratification and
esteem. Sin ardent and perfect was the pleasure that
the PRINCE felt, that, among other gracious intima-
tions of his attachment to the naval service, he said.
that if he should land at any place beside Brighton,
it was his intention to wear the full-dress uniform of
an Admiral, and which he should continue to wear
at his Levees, alternately with the dress of the army.
His Royal Highness behaved in the most conde-
scending manner to all around him. Lieutenant
Ames and Mr. Carmen, of the INCONbTANT, acted
as sidesmen on board the yacht.
Saturday afternoon the ROYAL GEORGE yacht, in
company with the INCONSTANT frigate, sailed for Ports-
mouth) where she will remain until further orders.
Last night the PRINCE REGENT arrived in town
from Brighton, in perfect health.
His Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT has most
graciously condescended to become a member of the
Yacht Club.
