Several American ships briggs, and schrs.
have pointed out rendezvous, and taken
the cargoes from on board Of said prizes
into different ports of the United States,
where they enter them, having altered their
packages or bailings, and detaced their
marks to degree which renders it difficult
to recognize them. Several passengers on
board OF tines" prizes, who in their country
were men of riches and distinction, have
been thrown destitute in strange and foreign
countries. Some time ago were offered tor
sale in Baltimore, the habilimen,s of some
female passengers, which were piqndered
on board said prizes. The crews of these
prizes are dispersed in the ports of foreign
nations, where these unfortunate men, who
are not able to make themselves understood,
are in the greatest misery. Among these
prizes were several vessels bound from Eu
rope to the East Indies, on board of which
were number of criminals, whose sentence
of death had been changed to Punishment,
either to China or Africa. These men have
been brought here, and are now free and
at liberty which is no benefit to The morals
of this country.
Some of the American vessels employed
in the discharging of the cargoes are GER

it is said, to Mr.. Karrick, called the Good
Return-schnrs. Hebe. Good Intent, Mary,

The following is an extract of letter from
st. Helena:
''a. Helena, Sept. %, 1918:
" The Musquiio soop of war sails to-
morrow for england. She is charged with
despa ,ches from Sir Hudson Lowe, relating,
it is understood, to an intercepted cores
pondence, which discovered the existence
of plot, the object OF which was the libe-
ration OF Bonaparle from this Island. for
bear to mention the names, currently cir
Cuiated here, OF those who are said to be
implicated in this transaction. A bankers |
house in England, however, and two indi-
viduals there, with others on the Cont
nent, It is rumoured, are concerned. De-
lection of the plot was produced by the |
circumstance, it is said, of many letters
addressed 10 person, (the name Of which |
no individual is to be found here) lying
uncalled for at the Post Office. Bonaparte
Is in very good health--he still, however,
abstains from exercise-con6ning himself |
entirely within doors. The reason as
signed at Longwood for the departure
hence of gen. Gourgaud, is quarrel be-
tween him and gen. Montholon. Gour-
gaud had been challenged by the latter,
but Bonaparle iorbidding him to fight,
Gourgaud quilted. tits confidently said,
B naparte has recently obtained the sum
q fifteen thousand pounds in dollars -
