proving that slaves taken from this country
have been sold in the British colonies. We

DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE.

At O'Clock On Monday evening, the
armed schooner Surprise, Capt. Barstow,
with IL passengers on board bound from
New York for baltimore, ran ashore on the
Barnegat S loals Both masts were imme-
dlateIy cut away, and the vessel otherwise
as much iightened as possible, with the hope
of getting her off At one, on the morning
Of The 4th, the schooner Virginia Ann, on
her way TO New York, passing near the
Surprise, and finding her in a hazardous
situation, received on board thirty five of
! her passengers, and brought them into
port. 1t is seriously apprehended that the
Sarprize has been stove in pieces, and that
/ the remainder OF her passengers and crew
have persisted
One of the officers who has returned to
the city, gives the following particulars of
this melancholy shipwreck:
The Smrprize, containing the crew of
the United States sloop of war Erie, sailed
from New York on the morning of the 3rd
instant, for Baltimore and at half after
six o'clock the same day, she struck on
Benegst Shoals We immediately com
menced throwing every thing overheard to
Lighter her, and run anchors out astern
with the hopes OF getting her off; but all
cur exertons proved Intellectual. AT half
after twelve o'clock, we cut way her masts.
1t was at this time we discovered she had
bilged, and was full of water. fore and aft,
the sea increasing, and the wind blowing
fresh from the 5. f. making at times a fair
breach over her, We then thought it most
advisable to land as many of the crew as
possible from our two small boats but on
attempting to approach the land, the surf
run so high that it was impossible to land
them. AT three o'clock we lost sight of
the wreck, and at day break fell in with
the Virginia Ann, from Fredericksburg
who took us On board ard brought us into
port, We had previously endeavoured to
get pilot boat to 60 in search of the wreck,
bat the pilot affirmed it was impossible to
reach her 20 night. 1t was then thought by
all the officers, that it was best to return TO
New York with the men that had been saw
ed, and consult with Commodore Decatur,
as to the proper measures TO be adopted
| ihe names of Off, ers saved from the
wreck are as follows Col Brooke. of the
! u. = army-Lieuts. Rousseau. skinner
Kennon, Bell and Midshipmen
boarman' Sanderson and Moaher, and Is

DARK PROSPECTS.

The following is literally taken from tbs
last National Intelligencer we give it word
for word, just as it stands in the government
paper -
"LHPRESSMENT SEANEN"
: This important subject having been
waved in the late negotiations at Client, and
a treaty ofpeace concluded without any pro-
visions thereon, the subject will, in all hui
man probability, become again q source Of
contsntion, and possibly Of gcor, between
this country and England"
a. This hint is thrown out, by the ad-
ministration paper, for future use At pre-
sent, the government wants money, and
must have it j; and they have found out,
that that necessary article is not to be OBJ
tanned, without Commerce. When their
Golfers shall again be filed, the dispute a.
bout impressment, blockade, or something
else, will be brought forward to interrupt
the harmony which reason, and fair con-
struction of the relations that are calculated
to subserve the interests of both nations
might perpetuate to ages. Then the Intel
ligencer will tell the merchants who have
spread their property in every quarter Of
the world. we warned you the danger in

of prophesy, you must abide the conse-
