(PROM THE SPANISH MAIN.)

NEw YORK. SRTT. 10.—Captain Skinner arrived
yesterday afternoon from Angostura and Laguira,
informs that the Patriots were besieging Porto Ca-
bello, and with good prospect of success. Captain
H. carried the Chief Director of Angostura and se-
veral officers to Laguira on business.
[LATIC FROM LIMA.]

New YORK, Ace. 29.—A gentleman has arrived
in town via Panama and Havannab, who left Lima
on the 4th of June, at which time that place held
out against the forces of San Martin and Lord
Cochrane and possessed a force of 6,000 regular
troops, and 14,000 militia, and the navy had been
reinforced by the arrival of some Spanish ships of
war. The new Vice Hoy was very popular, and
there was no prospect of the immediate surrender
of the place to the besiegers.
EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM lIALIFAX, X.S. AUG. 29.

For many years almost every attempt made by the
American Government, to check and to injure the trade
of the British North American Provinces, has not only
failed to effect the purpose intended ; but, in the event,
has proved seri.'usly injurious to their own commerce
and revenue. Such is the nature of the act now in
force, by which their vessels bringing flour, grain, &c.
under the British Free Port Regulations, are frequently
compelled to return in ballast, instead of taking back
valuable cargoes—which our own vessels are now em•
ployed in carrying to the Canadian market. No less
than four brigs and two large schooners, have been
cleared at our Custom House for Quebec, within the
Iset fortnight; and, allowing this course of trade to
pay but little more than the amount of freight and
commissions, still, as the returns may be expected to
supersede the remittance of large sums in specie to
the United States, the advantage to be derived from

it is great and obvious. Much, indeed, of the Wes
India produce thus shipped, being taken np the St.
Lawrence by means of the present extensive inland na-
vigation, will, doubtless, find its way into the Ame-
rican State ; and, ultimately, meet with a better mar-
ket than had it been sent in American vessels from
hence to New York, &c.

Tbis trade, thtrefore, as it bids fair to be of mu.

tool advantage to the Colonies, so it should meet
with mutual encouragement and support from the
Provincial Legislatures, and from the inhabitant, whe-
ther immediately concerned in it or otherwise.
Some ideas have been suggested in Quebec of the
utility of Steam-boats to be thus employed.
A Copy of the Report of the Surgeon of the French
line of battle ship Le Colosse :—Since our depar-
ture from Martinique, 29th June, till our arrival at
Havanna, 30th July, only one man died of Yellow-
Fever, on the Ist of July.
The 3d, 4th, sth and 6th of August, sixteen men
were taken sick; on the sth, an officer died of apo-
plexy, nine hours after he was taken ill. The 7th and
Bth we lost too men with Yellow Fever. The 10th,
one man died, after ten days illness, of Putrid Fever,
which presented no symptoms of Yellow Fever. The 13th
an officer died of a Putrid billions Fever, the Bth day of
his illness, without any symptoms of Yellow Fever. Since
that date, we have had no dangerous sickness, except
one man, who has recovereg from a Putrid Fever ;
this is the 22d day of his Moles. The 20th, a boy
died of consumption of the lungs, after eight months
illness.
Signed by the Surgeon in Chief, Le Het.Low.
On board the Colosse, 74, Aug. 26,1821.
The officers will be permitted to go to the city after
four days quarantine : the ship detained here 30 days
for purification. Officers and crew six hundred and
fifty in number.

Paris papers to the 29th instant have reached us
since our last. They contain very little intelligence re-
relative either, to Russia or Turkey that had not been
anticipated. The English at Odessa, it hi said, latter

chosen by the Sultan, has issued a Pastoral, Wil•ch
of the same nature as the Anathema that was to have
been promdlgated by Gregory, his predecessor. 'elki
Greeks say that the new Patriarch is but a Jew in din
guise. On the Ist of September the Emperor of Ret.
sia was at one of his palaces near Petenbargi,
shewed no intention to leave. There Is no leery 1
any of the articles of the French papers theleast sym.
tons of war.—The accounts from Spain are not devoid
of interest. By an article horn Madrid, of the lido
ult., we learn that the English Ambassador had tau
a complaint of an article in the French language, hi
the Regulator, in which his Britannic Meisel
was treated with insult ; and that a preens hal
taken place thereon. The Jury of accusatioa,
without having the article in question translates
into Spanish, has declared that it contained le
ground for prosecution. However, as the prem.
tation of a legalised translation is strictly required by
law, the Usicersal is of opinion that the question
must be submitted to another Jury. The remit of as
inquiry into the events of the night of the 20th sad
21st of August is, that D. Pablo Morino, Commas&
ant-General of the province, did not draw his min
against the people, but, on the contrary, bad Went
the troop to march in front, in order to displvse the one&
bly, without using their arms, whatever pravocatioedny
might receive. In consequence, the Minister of War iss
written a letter to the General, stating that it is the
desire of his Niajeoty that he should resume his fun-
tions. The Captain-General of the National Army,
D. Jose Palafox, made a moat honourable deposition
in favour of General Morillo. Government receives
daily petitions in favour of Omen! Riego. The
from Valladolid is not very respectful to his Ma-
jesty. The petitioners call upon him to nige by
himself, and constitutionally. If General Riego, say
they, be guilty, of which we have the strongest doubt,
let him be visited by the law ; if innocent, let him be
restored to his command. The King is expected to
return to Madrid on the 22d. General Arco Alms,
Commander of the province of Extremadura, endow
of the Chiefs of the Revolution. has lately ins
killed whilst hunting, by a fall from hie horse.—
The yellow fever continues to rage most dreadfully
in the Eastern parts of Spain, and at Earn-lola
the mortality is described as horrible. Ecolesiudes
no longer attend the victims to the grave. The
fatal cart passes twice a day through all thestmeto,
and receives the remains of the dead: It apple
that the fever does not list long ; three hours ate
sufficient to carry of the person infected. Thantetary
General of • the civil administration died itt that Art
space of time. The position of 50 or 60,000isha-
blunts who have qui:ted the city is most cruel; re-
pelled from every place where they claim hospitality,
it is to be feared that they should seek for relief
in despair.
The only articles in the French papers relative
to his Britannic Majesty's visit to the Conduit
are the following:—
BERLIN, SEPT. 13.—The troops which have bees
concentrated near our city since the end, of lastasouth
will return without delay to their ordinary garrison.
Many persons suppose that the King of England will
come and spend a week in this capital. We have good
reason to doubt the truth of this news. A colder,
whom Count Munster, first Hanoverian Minister sad
Secretary of State for Hanoverian Affairs to the Kiag
of England, has sent here, has given rise to yarns
speculations. The only thing certain is, that them
will be a meeting on the frontiers between the en
Sovereigns.

Many of our columns of late have been occupied.
as our readers have observed, with copious narrative,
of the Royal progress to the Coast of England, ssd
through the northern department of France; bat or
a line, as some of our correspondents have retort'
ed, with any reflections on the occurrences we bate
related, or any conjectures on the objects pursed.
The landing of our English Kings upon the Oalbc
shore, at former periods, was, generally, the harbinger
of events that filled the pages of the English Will
with glory. Our old fashioned monarchs, little as tbeF
were enlightened by the rattly of political ideas.

occasion for the displays of that kind, for which those

resowned. it is only in the exercise of peaceful arts
tmd in the character of the King of a free people that
be can be distinguished, and in the latter character be
slight glory above all the Sovereigns of the Continent
with whom he could meet. He has lately had the &sap-
iness of allaying the animosities of a long divided
iswple in one portion of his kingdom; and had his
Majesty conciliated in a similar manner, the people of
gngiand before his visit abroad, by removing from
his Councils the evil-advisers who create dissention
between the subjects and the Throne, lie would have
se; an example that would have rendered him illus-
trious above all the KINGS of the earth.
