a WHALE

On Tuesday the 10Th inst. while the
crew Of a small northern vessel were en-
ployed III catching oysters near the south
of Nansemond River, they perceived a
WHALE pass 10y them and proceed up
that River. They concluded To follow and
endeavor 70 talee it, in which they succ~e-
dcd by driving 1t ashore opposite to Old
Town Point. After some Difficulty they
succeeded in getting it on dry land it
measured so feet in length, and is expect
cd to yield from Is to 20 barrels oil. A
similar occurrence was Witnessed near the
same place, as we learn, about 25 years y
go; and about the same time a whale,
measuring 50 feet, was cast ashore on
Cape Henry. Herald.

We sailed from G braltar 4 few days
after the date Of my last, and arrived here
on the Goth December. We shall leave
this place in few days for Cartha-
geEa, for the purpose Of receiving an an
swer from the Spanish government relative
to the detention of the Alserine brig.
which believe We stipulated to restore to
the Dcy of Algers. II she is not given up,
/ hope our government will act sp ritedy
on the occasion, and chastise them for
their presumption. From what / have
sen of the Spanish character, I hold it in
the utmost contempt. We find i extreme
ly difficult to obtain plsCe of deposit for
cur stores, and the only plausible reason
they could give for not immediately grant,
ing us permiss on to land them, was a fear
of such proc dure not b-ing sanctioned
by the English. The Spaniards are BIZ
gotted, priest-ridden and pusilianimous set.
Their troops ave little better than a gang
of robbers and assassinS. Many of them
would steal the life of their fellow man for
paltry dollar or decent coat. 1t is ex-
treme.y dangerous TO traverse the streets
OF Spanish town after suHset-a mans
life is in continual jeopardy From the ne
elected state OF the fOrtIfications at all the
Spanish towns have yet seen, | am indu--
ced to believe that their government is in
deep decline. Oar force would be suf-
licient to lay nearly all their towns OH the
Mediterranean coast under contribution.
It's rumored here (but upon what author
ity know not,) that war with the u. s.
is expected.
81 heard it rumored at the American
Consul's table a few days ago, that the
King Of Spain was to be shortly allied to
one of the Portuguese royal family, and to
receive for his condcScen8i1n FORTY mil
lions Of dollars.
Generals Ballasteros and Castanos are
sentenced TO serve as common soldiers i'm
the Spanish army, and many other distin-
gDished characters are equally prosecuted
by the royal authority; they are to be
sent to Ceuta, a Spanish fortified town
on the Barbary shore, near the entrance OF
the Straits.
