without committing any net OF vioience)a spi-
rit extremely hostile. painting themselvesin
their pfi7i and acting in ii manner that CON
WINGED every one there oftlc general hostility
OF their tribe the lower Greeks. This party
being small, were very pv0iiably restrained by
the numbers of the -WorNtHe ut tiie mills. A.
tier party consisting Of about 80, forc!biy
drove Oh from these counties upwards OF 500
head of cattle. The utmost alarm prevails
throughout the country. Thelgentleman. from
whom the above information has been obtain

Another gentleman from the same county,
states that the Inhabitants on the frontier have
been compelled TO cmbody themselves in order

By the schr. Traverse the Ocean. capt.

ba, we learn, that on the Goth Feb. the
iuenos Ayres brig Patriot, comm. Tay-
Tor, made her appearance of the Moro
i'll company with small schrs. under the
same flag. The same day comm. Tavlor
demanded OF the governor certain men
then confined III prison, who were a short
time previously captured under the pa
trlot flag, and who had taken slave YES
sci, accompanied with a threat, that If
they were not conveyed TO him immedi
ately, he would hang as many Spaniards.
then IN lns possession, in sight OF the Mo-
ro. The governor refused To deliver them
UP, and as far as we could learn, marched
them oil TO the Havana. Onthe 29fh the
brig Gazella,' of Philadelphia, Pickle,
irom barcelona for ST. Jago, Was boarded
OH Inc Moro, from the brig Patriot, and
permitted to proceed. a few hours after
vas boarded by one of the scllrs. previ-
ously noticed as being in co. with comm
Tay Tor, which was formerly the privateer
feazer, of Newly rk, capt. -. The
supcrcargo of the O.. being a Spaniard.
he was taken on board the schr. and a
rope placed around his neck, and drawn
close. They then threatened 10 hang him
u he did not confess the e.. to be Spanish
property. When apparently in the act of
putting their threat iutO execution. he
acknowledged her TO be such, and the
Gazllla was taken possession of by the
brig Patriot. Tile supercargo sent a lei
Ter ON shore to MIR. Ex-senator. stating
his situation, and wishing TO effect a ran,
som it possible. MIR. Selby left the Mo.
70 the next morning 10 90 on board flle
brig Patriot, when he was called along
side the schr. that had captured the G.. q
Stripped and otherwise abused. tIev
threatened 10 run him through ifhe con
cealed a single paper. He was then per
mtted 10 90 on board the Patriot. whore
hewas treated politely. After stating TO
com. Taylor the treatment hc had receiv-
ed on board the scbr. the capt. offhe lat
ter was sent for, and the commodore
threatened TO dlsplacc him if he heard of
repetition Of such conduct. The g.
was raBsOmed for SIP 600, and the supcr.
cargo for S300O--aiicr taking possession
Of several boxes of Sabyes, Which thev
would not delivcrup. The brig was then
permitted to make sail, and arrived safe
