/ PTivatserS.-On the 9th inst. (says the
J New-York Evening Post) information
having been received by the Spanish Cou-
sui Of this city, that Spanish vessel had
been taken into Cohansey Greek in New
Jersey, about 60 miles from Philadelphia,
! Mr.. James Stoughton, by request of the
consul, proceeded Immediately by express
for the place, in company with the mar
shall of New-Jersey, and having on their
way obtained the necessary process, sue
ceeded 10 taking possession of the vessel
and cargo. She proves to be prize to
the Buenos Ayres brig Constitution, which
sailed from Baltimore in March last, and
captured this vessel after being IA days
out of the Capes. She is brig called
the Tiger, was from Laguira bound to
Cadiz, laden with cargo Of cocoa, coffee
and indigo, inyoiced at upwards of 10000
dollars. The vessel was brought into Jer-
sey for the purpose of procuring provisions
with the intent of afterwards sailing off the
coast and shipping the cargo on board of
different vessels bound TO the United
States, and then destroying the brig, which
probably would have been done, had she
not been attached in due season.
