CBkRLzs WILSON PEALE, now sged -
years, was, many years ago the only Portrait
Painter in the Uni,ed States, and has chiefly
been distinguished for his zeal and Industry
IN painting an Invaluable series of Portraits
OF our revolutionary heroes, which sdorn his
Museum in PhiadeIphia. That museum,
however, for long time withdrew him from
painting, he retired. years ego, 20 the labs !,
Of farm. II is probable, the vieor of his
present health may be sscribed TO taat cir
cums,aoce. Animated by mis- youthful ardor,
he has resumed tho pencil, and has lust re-.
turned from Washington, with number of
Portraits OF puoiick characters. Tscy con.

"The following Information was hand
ed me by gentleman who arrived from
ST. Eustatius this morning, and which
you will please have published, ON your
arrival at Philadelphia, as it may be of
service to the commercial part of the
community.
A schooner touched off St. Eustatius,
29th inst. in 6 days passage from Mar
garitta, bound to St. Thomas, the captain
of which vessel gave the following in
formation Admiral Brion sailed from
Margaritta on the 10th inst. with his
squadron, consisting of the Victoria, (his
flag ship a thirty-two gun English fri
gate, recently arrived, (name not recol-
lected) nine briggs, eleven schooners, and
number of gun-boats, all we'll armed
and manned. On board Of thesquadron
are $500 English, Irish, and Scotch, 500
German, and about $50 Indian troops,
all well disciplined, and in high spirits !;
they most sanguinely calculate upon
meeting with success, and being amply
remunerated for the many hardships and
deprivations they had experienced whilst
at Margaritta. Their destination is sup
posed to be against Laguira.
Commodore Jolly was still under ar
rest at Margaritta, for conspiring with
his brother-in-law, General Arismendi,
against Admiral Brion, and an act of
piracy which he committed whilst he
commanded the Observation-Disclosures is
under arrest at Angustura their trial is
to take place Immediately after the re-
turn of Brion from his present expedi-
tion--and it is the general impression
that they will be shot and hung in glib
bes. A number of prizes had been
lately carried into Margaritta, several Of
them with valuable cargoes of hides, SUI
ger, cocoa, tallow, indigo, sc. all of
which sold at high prices, as there were
great many spectators there from St.
Thomas, and different Islands, with abun-
dance of doubloons and good bills---all,
except one of the prizes, were captured
By priyateers under the Artigan flag.

ing substance, and from the similarity
of the aurora borealis produced by the
same cause, and a proper electrical phe-
nomenon. DIR. HALEY seemed inclined
to this hypothesis, when he said, that the
streams of light in an aurora borealis so
much resembled the long tails Of comets,
that at first sight they might be taken for
such; and that this light seems to have
q great affinity to that which the eiluvia
OF electric bodies emit in the dark.
The comet which at present is seen,
appears to have different orbit from any
ofthose the clements of which have been
calculated. Its position is in the con-
stellation of Lynx, and on Friday evening
last, about nine, its distance from the
polar Star was about thirty-eight degrees,
sixteen minutes, and its distance from
Alpha of Ursa Major twenty-seven de-
grees and fifty-6ve minutes. From OBJ
servations made for several preceding
evenings, its motion northward does not
exceed twelve minutes in twenty-iour
hours. From appearances it has passed
its perihelion, and is receding both from
the sun and the earth.

HINTS FOR YOUNG LADIES.

When you have an opportunity to
praise, do it with all your heart.
If you would preserve beauty, rise
early.
If you would preserve esteem, be
gentle.
IF you would obtain power, be con-
descending.
If you dance well, dance but seldom.
If you would live happy, endeavor te
promote the happiness Of others.

LONDON, JUNE 25.

LONDON, JUNE rs.
The steam ship SAVANNAH, captain
Rogers, arrived at LIVERPOOL on the 2lst
of June, after passage of25 days. Her
arrival is thus noticed in Liverpool pa
per:
Among the arrivals at this port on the
Dist, we were particularly grati6ed and
astonished by the novel sight Of fine
steam ship, which came round at half
after P. M. without the assistance of
single sheet, in style which displayed
the power and the advantage of the APP
plication of steam to vessels Of the largest
size, being $50 tons burthen. She is
called the Savannah, captain Rogers,
and sailed from Savannah, 96th May,
and arrived in the channel days since.
During her passage, she worked the en-
CINE Is days. Her model is beautiful,
and the accommodation for passengers
elegant and complete. This is the first
ship on this construction, that has taken
a voyage across the Atlantic.

BERMUDA, JULY 2

BENIN DA3 JULY .
This colony has already resisted the
attempt of the lords commissioners OF his
majesty's treasury, to regulate the fees
of the customs; and an act establishing
docket OF fees, not only for the CUSTOM
house, but for the other public Offices,
was passed by the late house of assembly
at their recent session. The legislature
of Barbados have also lately had the
same subject under consideration. The
following are extracts from the proceed
ings of the assembly of that island in May
last:
RESOLVED, That the attempt to esta-
blish any tax, duty, or fee, upon his ma
iesty's subjects, inhabitants of this colo
ny, by the lords commissioners of his
majesty's treasury, is illegal and ought
to be resisted.
Resolved, That the committee of
correspondence be instructed to direct
the agent to demonstrate, with prompts
tude and frmncss, against these orders
that this house will never recognize any
authority in the lords commissioners OF
his majesty's treasury, to raise any sum
or sums of money, whether in the nature
of fees or otherwise, from the inhabitants
of this colony.
Resolved, That the orders of the
lords commissioners of his majesty's
treasury by which certain fees are sought
to be established for the remuneration Of
the officers Of the customs, are in viola
ton of the inherent rights Of the inhabi-
tants Of this colony, as having direct
tendency to impose a tax upon them un-
der the authority of such orders, and
without the consent Of their representa-
tives in the general assembly"
A St. Kits paper, of the 9th ult. re-
ceived at Norfolk, confirms the account
Of the recent defeat of the royalists in
Barcelona. The battle took place on
the 10th Of June at Chopparo, in BARGE
Iona; and the loss sustained by the roy
alists under Col Correa, was 1000 killed,
besides prisoners, wounded, and the
whole of their baggage. After the bat
tie, Gen. Marine took up a position, pro-
missing ulterior advantages.
"A postscript to one OF the latest letters
received at Washington city from Val
paraiso, says, news arrived yesterday that
the Spanish General (Osorio) who COM
manded the army that was beaten and
captured near ST. Jago, by St Martin,
himself escaping, with about fifty men,
towards Chilloe, has collected about two
thousand men, and is now advancing in
the province Of Conception. The few
troops the patriots have there are retreat
ing before them.

France.
Bells Messenger Of the 9th June, in
urging the retrenchment of public ex-
penses, says" Why such an enormous
civil list---such a vain, expensive, ws

connection with any real public interest
