British ctuiZers continue to- hover round
our coast On Thursday last, q chcbacco
boat, tender TO the Nimrod, while in chase OF
sloop near Seconnet passage, was struck by
flaw OF wind and instantly sunk OF the
crew, three IN number, only one was saved.

Yesterday the Portsmouth militia company,
under command of Capt. burlington, were
relieved by company from Tiyerton, under
command of Capt. Warren. The company
relieved had bsen on duty fortnight--and it
was subject OF great satisfaction 10 observe
tho amazing improvement they appeared 10
have made in that short period of actual SER
vice. From this specimen, the highest con-
hdsnce can be placed on the militia OF our
country, should they be called upon to repel
the naughty invaders Of our national rights.
On Friday last, Gen. CUSHING, command
ing this military district, arrived IN town
and on Monday visited the different forts IN
this barber BY an arrangement made, the
Artillery Company, under Col. Fry, arc 10
have charge of Fort Greene, and yesterday
paraded and took possession of the SAME.

We understands boat from Little Compton,
loaded with provisions for the enemy, was
taken in the Vinyard Sound ,oD Thursday night
last by the barge OF the Saratoga priva.ecr.
The persons on board, we learn, were sent
TO Boston for examination.
-:Ss:--
by the privateer Surprize, arrived last
week, CorInna papers were received in town,
a. late as The 2lst May--by which il appears
that the Spanish King, Ferdinand, is about
TO have quarrel with the Cortes or Juuta,
and appears determined not to acceed to the
constitution established by them. The King
was we'll received, and numerous congratula-
tory addresses flowed in upon him from all
parts of Spain.
We understand the Hon. PELEG AR
MOLD, Of Smilhield, will be supported BY
the Republicans for the Office of Representa-
tive in Congress in August next.
Nothing further has transpircd TO induce
the belief of the late report Of an armisiicS
between this country and England
, 4 --:%:-
A favorite project Of the leaders OF the fed
the States. For this purpose, on every occa-
sion, it Is endeavorcd III most of the federal
papers to excite local prcjudices and mark
out geographical distinctions. They pretend
to yenera,c the character of Washington
let them read his Farewell Address, on
leaving the presidential chair and then
look a, the following sentiments OF Alexander
Hamilton, whom they equally vcnerate.
Sentiments Of .lier. Hamilton, hage 22l.
"Idcas of a contrariety of interests between the
Northern and Southern regions Of the Union arc IN
the main, as unfounded they mischevous.
The diversity Of circumstances on which such con-
trariety 10 usually predicated, Authorizes directly
contrary conclusion. Mutual wants constitute one
of the strongest links Of political connextion and
the extent OF these bears natural proportion TO the
diversity in the means OF mutual supply. Sugges.
tons Of an opposite complexion are ever to be de-
plored as unfriendly to tile steady pursuits of one
great common cause, and to the perfect harmony Of
all the parts"
