The funeral service OF his late Roy al
H;silness Priuce John, duke OF Port Mar
got VAS performed yesterday IN the Me-
iropoillan Cathedral Church, by a great
conccurse. The Grand Dignitarics OF
The Kingdom, and the officers of the CT
vii, administrative and Judiciary bodies,
attended it in deep mourning. The
Church was hung with black, and the
cniiin placed i'll the middle OF a magni-
i,cent Cata,alk, raised for the purpose,
anal enconIpassed by thousands of wax
candles.
The Right Rev. Father Jean de- Diru
Gonzales, almoner TO the Queen, perform
ed grand Mass for the dead, and pro-
bounced with great JUNCTION and elo-
quence the funeral sermon of the deceas-
ed. The auditory were sensibly touch
ed, sorrow was depicted i'm every coun-
teDance; the remembrance of loss so
recent and SO considerable as that Just
sustained: the sight Of the remains of
the object OF their encomium-the sancti-
ty of the place; and the sacred furni-
ture, combined To give this religious ce-
remony, gloomy and melancholy as
peci.
Prince joan, nephew TO the King,
Grand Marshal, Grand Admiral, Grand
of ST. Henry, died at the waters of Port
a-Piment in the 37,h year of his age.
Endowed with the greatest bravery, he
reditary in his august family, his CONT
nuai regrets during his long indisposi-
ton were, TIA, he could not employ his
time and lis care In the ser, ice of his
Prince aud his country, and pour out
ms blood for the objects of his affections !;
and we are sure, that was the only re-
gret that disturbed his last.
EmineDtIy patriotic, his last words
were: Let iiaytians combat with their
last breath for Liberty and independence,
and be rather all extcrmiIated than re-
turn under the yoke of their oppressors
His body Was cmbalned and trans
ported TO Gonaivcs.
BOsToN, September l6.-Capt. Davis,
Of brig Cherua, from Lisbon, communi-
Gates the following:
"rhe first part of July ii Russian brig
arrived at Lisbon that had been captured
byian Aigerine Corsair, who put OIL board
the bris eleven Turks, and lett the Rus
sian Captain, with four of his crew on
board his own vessel A ia, durable OPP
portunity offered, when the Russians at
tackled the Turks and drove them all
overboard-the Russian Captain was Sc
verely wounded In several places, but
was likely TO recover.-TwO valuable Por-
tuguese indiamen were captured The LIST
OF June in lat. 33 north, and Ion. "a Is
west, by an American built schooner,
mounting 10 gums, carronades, and car
rying 10 meu-supposed 10 be the ST.
Martin from Buenos Ayres, and former
ly the American privatecr Congress, COM
manded by John Deter. The officers
names were, LIST, Richard Moon, I'd, F.
Jenkins, Sd, -Sprague. The Captain
gave a certificate in English that he had
captured these vessels. BY papers drop
ped by some of the officers of this pri-
vateer, it appears that person of the
WAS one with whom they had cores
pondence. The officers of both the cap
tured ships who were prisoners OH board
the prlvateer for several days, say that
ali on board spoke no other language
than English, and that they were all A
mericans but one, who was Spaniard,
aud that he was prisoner. The officers
and crews OF these two ships were land
ed at the Island of Flores, and after
wards brought to Lisbon by the POrtu-
guese frigate San PedrO-these two ships
were considered TO be worth upwards
OF million and half of dOllars-one
the Grand Para from Bengal, the other
the Carolina, from China onuch of the
property in these two vessels was owned
IN small shares by number of differ
ent individuals, who we're distressed ex-
ceedingIy by the loss-and it is difficult
to describe the excitemehts that prevail
ed against Tie Americans generally, (ai-
ter they had got the intelligence ofthese
capturcs) and particularly against our
government for not taking some more
prompt and efficient measures TO prevent
IFS citizens from engaging in such acts
OF plumber and piracy-Every possible
embarrassment seems to be thrown in the
way of American trade, both in Spain
and Portugal. Capt. ID. experienced not
little of il in the latter place before his
licence could be obtained for the ship
ment of the Specie which he has brought
on account of the American Govern
ment.
CA large feet ofTransports, conveyed
by two frigates, were to- sail from isbon,
18th July for The Brazils, TO carry out
