OF srovastatn.]
CASE OF THE SHIP PROVIDENCIA.
Thit vessel, it will be .recollected, nes seized by
the Rovrotrus-ofboare of ibis port, in the mouth of
jun., tor, While she was attempting to pass up to
lialtioreste. The ProwWelton was the property of
'certain sobjects of the Kill of Spain, from whom
she was forcibly taken, while going from Sr. Andero
to the Havaonah, with a cargo of cordage, cutlery,
&c. by an aimed vessel, called the Maogore, fitted
osit at Baltimore, commanded by Captain Barnes,
Ord erufiing under the flag of one of the indettpedent
provinces of South America.
The captors, after putting a prize crew on board
of her, ordered her to Buenos Ayres, but owing to
stress of weather and other causes, the Prize-master

eimeght proper to shape his course for Baltimore.—
Os being brought in here, she was immediately libelled
by the Consul of his Catholic Majesty, in behalf of
/bet Spanish owners, and a Decree subsequently is-
-sued out of the District Court of the United States,
directing both the vessel end cargo to be sold, and
the proceeds deposited in the Bunk, subject to the
figure order of the Court.
The following, we understand, is the figs! Decree
of the Judge (Tucker) prowesoced daring the pend-
jog Term of the Court ;--
" Fiee.sizths of the whole amount to be paid over
in his Catholic Majesty's Consul for the State of
Virginia, for the benefit of the Spanish owners; the
remaining sixth to be retained and held at the dis-
postal of the Court, es salvage, should any legal
claim of that sort he put in within 12 months; but
should no such claim be preferred during that period,
•or being preferred, and the Court should deem it
insufficient, then the sum sn retained to be paid ever
to the Spanish Consul, as in the first case.
[mow OUR CORRE*PONOENT
THE MACEDONIAN.
Office of she Herald. Nurf,lk, Nov. 9.
This frigate took her departure from our port on
Friday last, and from ilampton-roads yesterday.—
At a little before twelve o'clock ou Friday. she got
ender way from the Navy-yard, and dropped down,
tinder easy sail, with a flue southerly breeze, to
llampton-roads, where she anchored between one
end two o'clock : and with the same wind could bevel
been at sea in two boors more, if it had been so de-
lermitred ; all things, however, were not ready for
her final departure. Her appearance, as els glided
past the town, and throegh the unruffled bosom 011
our river, presented a spectacle of the majestic end
beautiful in the highest perfection. She was greeted
with reiterated cheers from the multitudes who
thronged the wharfs to have a sight of ibis " living
witness" of our naval prowess; and among the nu-
merous spectators, it was geuerally agreed that the
exhibition on the Serpentine River was not to be
compared to the object they bad assembled to behold.
We noticed a few days since, the eatraordivary
dispatch with which the Macedouiso was prepared
for sea, which certainly is not excelled by any easter
ple in the annals of our Navy : we may add, that
every article wanted for her equipoise! was furnished
on the spot • there was not a moment's delay in
sending to Washington or other places. The Navy
Commissioners, we understand, with their usual
promptness, give orders for supplies, in case of. a
deficiency here; but before these orders coned have
been fulfilled, the ship wes nearly half refitted. Iler
rigging-was supplied from the rope-walk of Messrs.
Moran and 'digging, and was admitted by those who
;rated its quality, to be equal in strength to the pa-
tent cordage with which she had bees rigged at Boa-
ten. Her masts and spars, as we here before stated,
were idl made at oar Navy-yard, lard put on board
