sui Of the U. 5. a. at .4ur Cages, per schr.
FAIR Play, dated Dec. 90, 1921.
z" You no doubt know of the fall Of Cartha-
Sena. All the Main is now independent. The
Independence was celebrated here on the 18th
inst. with great pomp by the Patriots. Feu
de Joies" were fired during the day, and Il
splendid repast prepared in the evening"
There were also Examinations, Fireworks, and
a splendid Bal.
The schr. Fox, Capt. Dcky, of Baltimore,
arrived here ON Thursday, the Goth inst. from
the city of ST. Domingo, bringing Intelligence
that that place had hoisted the flag of Colon
bia, and declared themselves Free and hide
pendent. The Governor and military force
have been sent home to Cadiz, i'm an English
ship chartered for that purpose. The revo-
! luton was effected without a single drop of
blood being split. The lntendant of War
was at the head of it, and is now President.
The independence of Cartllagena, has and
will do much good to this place. We anti
cipate Il large trade there, and to the Main
generally. The schr's. Pegasus, of Philadel-
phia, and Charleston Packet, sail in few days
thence !; of course vast quantity of goods
has been taken from this market, and the cx-
portation is likely to continue. The Pega-
sus and Charleston Packet go under convoy
of the U. S. schr. Grampus, Lieut.. Gregory,
asreeably to a request | made to her Com
mander the other day by express TO Port au
! Prince. Lieut.. q. tells me, he will hc here
with his vessel on the cath or 95ih. Mr. w.
ID. Robinson, who was sent by our Govern
ment as agent to Port au Prince, goes in the
| Grampus.
This market is overstooked with American
produce, and sales difficult TO effect
Typographical .S,urey.-The following in
| tclligence, says the Floridan of the 9Th De-
cember, is from unquestonabc authority:
| board of engineers left Washington CITY
about the 50th of Octoher last they would
proceed TO Louisville, Ky. and thence de-
srcnd the rivers To New Orleans, whence they
are to come here and may he looked for i'm
Pensacola in al! FobI uary next, il not earlier.
The Board will be detained some time on the
rivers Ohio and Mississippi, making partial
survey preparatory we presume TO one more
complete at some future day. On the arrival
ofthe hoard III this country, they will proceed
forthwith to parcel out such parts of our sea
coast rs may demand the immediate atten-
ton oil the Typographical Department.
| From the same source we learn further
that Typographical Engineer with as
| sstants arc now on their way tn this quarter.
They are TO commence with the Bay of Mo-
bile, OF which they are required to make mi
mute survey, with view Ofputtng to rest the
iuesuoh SD iouS contested, whether II is me-
cessary 10 fortify that entrance. After which
they will proceed TO the survey of our Bay,
the ST. Josephs, sc. through the whole South
crn coast of Florida.
we congratulate our countrymcp on this
good news, and hope it may be the harbinger
OF much more. We are well assured, that
the United Suites Executive will do every
thing in their power for us !; but how far Con-
gress may be disposed to go, is necessarily
doubtful as it is always possible that some
hobby will be started on which they'll ride
out their session-regardless of what they do !;
as OF what they ought to do witness two me-
morable sessions, the Seminole Campaign
and the Missouri question.
1t is due to the War Department further to
! state-that from representations made, as to
the temper of the Florida Indians, it has here
tofore been deemed unsafe, to send Engineers
on our coast-this, together with the danger
from the marauders and pirates, certainly ac-
counts very satisfactorily for what we consi-
dered neglect. We are much gratifed with
having it in our power to do Justice to that
able, distinguished and patriotic statesman, Mr.
Calhoun.
