lNEW-1ORh, NOV. IL.
Capt. Allen, of the schooner Morgiana,
of New-Bedford, who arrived this morn
ing in 80 days from Palermo, informs us,
that the American squadron of eight
sail under Com. Chauncey, had left Ma

Messina, TO join the squadron, about the
middle ofSeptember.
Mr.. Pinckney had closed his negocia-
tons at Naples, and proceeded on his

1t was also reported, but not believed,
that he had demanded mine millions of dol

of the sum finally agreed upon and
that the residue is TO be paid i'll install

A small squadron, well armed and e.
quipped, under the command Of NJ. Au-
nv, has taken possession of the ports of
Matagorda and Galveston. This squa-
dron, being the property of the said
commander, had for considerable time,
been engaged in promoting the indepen-
dence of South America, under the flag
of Carthagena during the siege of that
place they bad fought calamity against
the Spaniards and protected the besieged
as much as was i'll their power, until
they were reduced to the inevitable ne
cessity of emigrating. On the fall of
Carthagena, MIR. Aury with all the Off
GERS under his command offered their
services 10 the Republic of Mexico, from
which he obtained authority to cruise and
permission to occupy the posts of Mata-
gorda and Galveston, whittier he went
under passport from the late governor
ofCarthagena. This expedition just ar
rived at is destination, when some tur-
bulent persons exclusively occupied with
their own interests, and incapable OF rem
dering any service to humanity, began 10
spread rumours, in order 10 scduce and

has produced the belief that our CONNER

fact simply is, that all this re-shipping is
