FORT sTODDART, July II.

no battk.-On Monday last arrived ut
this port Gum Boat No. II, captain Sped
den, with the schooner having powder and
military stores on board in company. B!
the arrival of these vessels we have OBJ
tanned the following particulars of the re-
establishment of the free navigation Of
the Mobile river, and the dissipation OF
those squally appearances which drove
the commandment Of Mobile and his troops
within the walls Of their fort. That ten
gun vessels, under the command OF capt.
cambridge, arrived off Mobile on the Cd
inst. for the purpose Of forcing passage
by the fort for the schooner loaded with
powder and military stores, for the troops
at this place. The sch. had been stopped
and not permitted to pass the fort ; in
consequence of which she returned to
New-Orleans and made'a report. The
above number of vessels was sent to con-
voy her past the fort. When they arriv-
ed off the bar of Mobile the Spanish com.
mandant sent an officer to inform capt.
cambridge that he had orders not to per-
nit any powder or gnn vessels to pass
that fort. and if they attempted it. be
should certainly fire at them. Capt.
cambridge replied that lie would comply
with the orders he had received from the
Commodore. and would pass the fort the
first favorable wind. He then held conn
ell with his officers. and it was concluded
to be more prudent to send nine of the
gun-boats under the command Of capt. B.
+. Reid, up Spanish river, and drop down
Mobile river; and take the most adyan-
tageous position for the attack which was
to be communicated by signals, when
capt. Bainbridge in gun boat No. q,
which remained off the bar, was to run
in under the fort, the rest of the gun boats
were to commence firing.
The commandant perceiving these
movements and fearing the consequences
OF an attack, dispatched an officer to In
form Captain cambridge, that he had
held a council of war with his officers.
and had come to the determination CT
permitting them to pass, leaving the mea-
sure to be decided by the two govern
ments. One Of the gun boats No. q,
with the schooner proceeded up the river
and the rest are now lying opposite Mo-
bile.
Thus has terminated an affair which
had it come to a contest, would have re-
suited in the possession of that important
place to this country by the Americans.
But the Spaniards knew who they had
to deal with, 4 the consequences, should
they fire gun.

"Let them throw out their wipes and cry,

THE SAILOR.
A few evenings ago--I remember it
was rainy one--as l was walking along
one of the back streets of the city, was
much struck with the melancholy figure
Of blind man, who was singing song
Of love. Misery could not have found.
among the number of distressed mortals,
form more suited t. her nature.
While I was contemplating the wretch
edness of the object. and comparing ii
with the strain which necessity compelled
him to chaunt, sailor, who came whist
ling along the street. with stick under
his arm, stopped and purchased ballad
Of him.
God preserve you, cried the blind man.
for have not tasted bread this blessed
day when the sailor looking around him
on a sudden sprung up four steps into a
bakers shop, near which he stood: and
returning Immediately, thrust small loaf
silently into the poor mans hand, and
went off whist!ing as he came.
was so affected at this noble act of
generosity, that called the honest sea-
man back to me, and taking the little sill

but four shilIings--Ihy nOblencss ofsoul,

said 1, and the goodness of thy heart my
lad. which have seen so bright aninstarce
of, makes me sorry that | cannot reward
thee as thou dost deserve However. ]
must beg your acceptance of this triiie, as
arsmall testimony how much i'admire thy
generous nature. Bless your noble homer
said the sailor, and thank you, but we
will divide the prize money fairly $50,
stepping back to the blind man, lie gave
him half Of il, and clapping him upon the
shoulder at the same time, he added with
al, here are two shillings for the, my blind
cupid, for which you are not obliged to
me, but to a gentleman who stands within
few yards of you; SO get into harbor,
and make thysclfwarm and keep thy hum
strum for fairer weather. Then giving
his hat quick wave over his head, lie
thanked me again, and went nimbly down
the street. Z. 5.
