The United States schooner Fire
band, captain Cunningham, 20 days out
from New Orleans. on a cruise, put into
Port Royal 3lsi January TO refit.
II is stated that the whole of Aarys
squadron was on shore at old Providence,
except the Congress, which was so much
injured as to be unseaworthy.
A letter from St. Jago de Cuba. dated
Doth Dec. received AT Kingston, states
thatthe American brig William, OF Bever-
Is, bound 10 ST. Marks, ST. Domingo,
was plu;dered off Gonaives by pirate
schooner manned with negroes; they

FROM Lisbon Capt. Rose, in 30 days

had lately arrived there. They uniform
ly reported thai tine privateers were Who'll
Is manueu by cinzens of The u. States,
and the crews acknowledged that they
were owned in and fitted out of ports Of

rable impression on our national charac-
Ter IN Portugal.

AGE OF EXPERIMENT.
BY an advertisement i'll this days pa
per, il will be seen that the new and ele-
sant Steam Ship SAVANNAH, is 10 kave
our harbcr Tomorrow. Who would have
had The courage, twenty years ago, TO
v
a ship of 800 tons burden, would be built
IN the port of New YORK, to navigate the
Atlantic, propelled by steam? Such, how
ever, Is Tie fact. With sdniring hun
iieds have we repeatedly viewed this
prodigy; and can also bear witness 10
lhe wonderful CELEBRITY with which she is
moved through the wafer. On Monday
last trial was made of her speed, aud
although there was at no time more than
an inch OF steam upon her, and for the
greatest part not half an inch, with
strong wind and tide ahead, she went
within mile OF the anchoring ground at
Staten Island and returned 10 Flymarket
wharf, in one hour and fifty minutes
When il is considered that she is ca!cu-
lated 10 bear twenty inches of Steam and
That her machinery is entirely new, il
must be criden, that she will, with ease,
pass any OF The steam boats upon our
rivers. Her cabin Is finished in an ele-
saut style aud is fitted up in the most
tasty Mariner. There are 80 births, all of
which are, stale rooms. The cabin for
ladies' is entirely distinct from that in
tended for gentlemen. and is admirably
calculated 10 afford that perfect retire
mrni which is so rarely found on board
passenger ships. For beauty of model.
the Savannah has seldom been exceeded.
She is commanded by Captain Moses
Rogers, an experienced engineer, and
belongs 10 company of enierprising
gentlemenin Savannah, who have spared
no expence IN rendering her an obi"ct
worthy of public admiration and public
patronage. She is so constructed AZ to
be nayigaole in the usual way, with sails.

This vessel is attended as Savannah
and Liverpool Packet" and we sincerely
hope the liberal minded proprieiors NAV
be abundanliy rewarded for their efforts
10 facilitate The communication between
Great Britain and America. [B.
