FROM A MISTER

Captain CONKLIN, arrived yesterday
from Amsterdam, in 33 days, informs us,
that all kinds of business there was in a
very depressed state. Tobacco and other
articles of American produce were very
low, and Gin had fallen from last quota
tons. Fourteen sail of vessels were pre-
pairing to take out upwards of 5000 Swiss
and German passengers, who were about
TO seek an asylum i'm America. The
ships were destined principally for Phil
adeIphia.
The Prince Orange was daily expect
ed at the Texel, to inspect the dock
yards and three frigates which were about
to sail for Batavia, and one for the Medi-
terranean. For the purpose of the bet
ter ascertainlng the situation ofthe coun-
try, he was about to reside three months
at Amsterdam, then three months AT the

sion, apparently from up the Bay. Yes
terday morning at 10 o'clock, near the
Eastern part Of the Horseshoe, passed a
large number OF splinters aud pieces of a
wreck, near which the Buenos Avrean
brig Independence del Sud, commended
by Com. ChaytOT, was AT anchor, and at

laying alongside of vessel which APP

blown up the preceding evening, a. caus-

whom we learn the following painful par
tIcnaFs On Monday evening last, at 6
o'clock, while the magazine Of tile Alta
yeda was open, the first Lieutenant in

explosion took place, which blew olf'the
whole of the quarter deck, and launched

being on board the brig dining with the
Commodore, fortunately escaped every
