INTERESTING CEREMONY.


II will be recollected that col. Manly,
commander of the ed Reg. of New York
State Artillery, recently in a very liberal
manner, rendered to the corporation the
Colors in his possession, that were used On
the occasion OF the first Inauguration oil Gen
Washington as president Of the United
States, for the purpose Of having them pre-.
served in the picture gallery OF the City
Hall. The Corporation having gratefully
accepted the officer, appointed yesterday af-
ternoon at s o'clock for receiving the pre-
sent. The ceremony accordingly took
place at that hour. Col. Maoly's regiment
was drawn up in front Of the City Hall,
when the Colonel handed the colors to his
Honor the Mayor, addressing him in the fol-
lowing appropriate manner.
" SrR-Conformable to a resolution Of
the officers of the regiment, am charged
with the duty OF presenting this Standard to
the honorable the Corporation of our city
The service, Sir, IS as grateful to my feel
ings as il is honorable to the officers whom
| have the honor to command. These Co.
lors are those which waved over the head
Of the late gen. George Washington, at the
time of bis Inauguration the first Presi-
dent Of the United States. Their intrinsic
value. Sir, is trihing. but the occasion which
they were raised-the reccollections which
they are calculated to awaken, and the cir
cumstances connected with their history,
have given them claim to be considered
among the memorials Of those great events
which. after having given birth to nation,
perpetuated the Independence Of an EN-.
pire, by consolidating the interests of every
individual that compose it.
"The time will come when every thing
connected With our revolution, and him,
who, under Providence, guided the destines
Of this now happy country will be held to be
estimable, and it is therefore that this reg-
ment have requested that this memorial be
placed beyond the reach OF ordinary ACCT

FROM HAVANA

FROM HAVANA.
BY the schooner Jane, Capt. Macwil-
liam, arrived yesterday, we received a
file of the Havana "Noticioso Mercantil,"
to the 18th inst. from which we have made
some marine extracts for this mornings
Courier. We learn by this arrival, that
the U. S. sloop of war Hornet, sailed for
Pensacola on the Sd inst. capt Reid hav-
ing entirely recovered from severe attack
of the fever. The Kings packet Enchant-
ress, arrived at Havana on the l4th inst
in 81 days from Cadiz.
Our papers contain very little political
intelligence-The only article we have
discovered worthy of translation, is the
following, from the paper of the l4th:-
By the arrival of the Kings Packet
Encantadora, in 81 days from Cadiz, we
learn, that the greatest tranquility pre-
vailed in the peninsula, and the Cortes
were quietly adopting measures the most
conducive to the public felicity, and the
general security Of the nation. The SER
GILES in Catalonia, having expressed the
greatest Joy on hearing the disastrous re
suit Of the Neapolitan Revolution, the
chief magistrate of that province, at the
solicitation of the people, adopted the pre-
cautionary measure of ordering Gen.
Sarsfeld, the Baron of Eroles, the Arch
bishop, and other suspicious characters,
to leave Barcelona. In Cadiz, for the
same reason, the Bishop and others hos
tile to the Constitutional System were
imprisoned.
By private letters we are informed that
the Spanish "a, Asia, was about sailing
for this port and Vera Cruz, and in her
was TO come Gen, O'Donoju, the newly
appointed Vice Roy Of Mexico A frigate
would sail at the same time with the same

TILE TINES IN BARBADOS.

THE TINES IN BARBADOS.
A writer in the Barbados Globe draws
an appalling picture of the times as res
poets the commercial and landed interests
in that Island. Property of every kind is
said to be daily sinking in value The
crops generally have been reduced in an
astonishing degree, by two successive I'M
favourable years; and what little produce
is reaped, lies on hand for want of purcha-
sers. The prisonsar are C rowded with in
solvents, and general ruin, he states, seems
% be fast approaching: Amongst the eau
ses which have contributed to produce the
difficulties and distress to which they are
exposed, he especially takes notice of the
baneful system, W hich for some time has
been pursued, of altering the relative va
lue of coins, and thereby depreciating the
currency. He asserts that the bartering
of doubloons for dollars in Demerara, and
vice versa, produces profit of nine per
cent. And the temptation being SO great,
the Island is thereby drained of its circu-
lating medium. He calls upon the House
of Assembly to take this serious evil into
their consideration
IN VERY WARM WEATHER,
As far as possible, exposure to the sun
should be avoided, and when unavoidable,
we should endeavour to perform our du-
ties in an uniform and regular manner,
with as little excitement of mind and of
body as possible; or as the vulgar say,
cool and easy. Our food should be well
cooked, with moderate seasoning; vegeta-
bles we'll boiled or prepared are very pro-
per; and among other things we recon-
mend the moderate use of the tomatss
fruit perfectly ripe, is not only innocent,
out s.lutary, when not eaten to excess.
And here let me advise dining on good
u PAIN soups,two or shree times week.

capt. Hicks, who had long been vainiy ne

of his ship, determined to obtain by strata
gem and resolution, what the authorities
would not give him. He loosed all his
sail as il were to dry and air, and for some
trivial reasons induced the prize officers
o 90 on shore; then cut his cables and ran
out to sea. The Louisa lay inside the
Lautara frigate, and as soon as her mo-
tons were observed, boats were sent from
the Lautara and Montezuma, (Chilian
schooner,) to retake her, but her resolute
captain refused to give up the ship. The
frigate, as soon as the Louisa got outside
of our ship, got under way to retake her.
An officer was then sent from our ship to
order the Gillian officers and boats crew
out of her, as we would protect her We
instantly hove up our anchor and stood
out after her. No farther efforts were
made to regain the valuable prize.
