From The Ctariesto" CITY Gasetie of Dec. Q. !
The Porto-Rico conspiracy has been
detected and the mysterious story"
as 1t was called, has been clearly un-
raVelled.
The Havana Noticioso of the 10Th
OF Nov. Contains the proclamation of
the Governour of Porto-Rico, dated
the 18th of Oct 1922, gives his reasons
for the capital Punishment imposed up
on Pedro Duvois, and many others, for
having attempted, in conjunction with
outlaws and foreigners, to revolution
ize the island, and take the same. 1t
appears that the insurgents calculated
on external assistance, and that seryiIe
war was to have been raised. The
Governour, however, says that he had
from time to time received information
OF their intentions. He stated that the
focus of this incendiary attempt was in
the United States, and sustained and an
mated by individuals through errour or
ambition. The Goyernour proceeds TO
give an account of the expedition, aud

no fictitious name, but belonging to
a Swedish adventurer, who had for
merly been Governour of the castle of

appears to have been very happy in
tracing the steps of this man, who he
says fled to Newly ork, and there organ
lied, with some Americans, the plan Of
attacking neutral government.
But much more significant signature
appears to these proclamations-" B.

This Irvine was formerly Editor of a
paper, called the Columbian" in New
York-and afterwards of the . Wash

pie at St. Bartholomew thought Mr..
Irvine "great writer" and that with
his pen he could conquer empires; but
the GOVERNOR of Porto-Rico (and we
doubt not that he is a good judge of
style) calls Irvine's proclamation 'n
erOrdeO eztrdUagantey concebido en- ml
language barbara" The g Government
of which Irvine is, or was Secretary,
he calls the Republick of Boricua.'
We suspect this Republick has disap-
peared.
There is something wrong in this
something apparently dis
graceful 10 our country, and on which
it would be well TO excite attention and
inqairy at Washington. The pirates
abroad give us trouble enough. Let us
have no domestick expeditions that
have any resemblance to piracy.

THE PIRATES.

BY the brig Catherine we have re-
coived Havana papers to the cath ult.
In the Noticioso, of the 10th, there is
an account of the capture of some pi-
rates off st. Juan de los Remedios.-
This account says, that on the 18th of
NOV. a British Corvette, probably Il
mistake for the schr Speedwell,) with
felucca and schr. in company, chased
three piratical vessels into the Bay Of
ST. Juan--the felucca and three launch
es followed them, and after a severe
contest, in which many were killed on
both SIDES, the Piratical vessels were
captured. Eleven pirates, we've taken
10y some troops on shore, and the Brit
ish took l 8 others.
A gentleman who came passenger in
the Catherine, was lately at Matanzas,
at which port the brig Radius, Granger,
from Rhode-Island, had arrived, on the
Goth ult after stopping at Nassau, to
land passengers. Capt. G. brought in-
formation that he saw 8 pirates at Mas
sau, who had just been brought in by
II. B. M. schr. Speedwell and her con-
sort, another schr. The Speedwell had
been disguised as merchantmen, and
the pirates, taking her to be an easy
prize, came carelessly along side of her,
for the purpose of boarding, when she
gave them hot fire, that threw them
! into confusion; many jumped overheard
/ and were drowned and with these and
the killed, the loss of the pirates was
about Is or 16-the remainder of them,
l8 in number, were taken prisoners,
and carried into Nassau, and were to be
tried Immediately.
1t is said some of the men sent to
Nassau, had been residents at Matanzas.
The following, translated from the
Havanna Noticioso, of the 10th ult. has
! reference, 10 doubt, to the above ex-
petition -

an de los Remedies, NoU. 8.

LOSS OF THE ALLIGATOR.

There appears to be sad fatality at
tending this gallant little vessel. On
the 9th uit. her enterprising comman-
der, in the Jealous and arduous per-
Torrance of the duties delegated to him
by his country, fell under the bullets of
bonds and consummate villains that ever
dishonoured and disgraced any age or
country. Scarcely had this melancholy
catastrophe warmed into life and actiyi-
ty the sluggish and almost coaguIated
blood of these who weld the destinies
OF the American people, before we
have to record The loss Of the Alligator
itself, on the 10th Of Nov. the paracu-
lars of which will be found in The sub

Somers, which arrived here Yesterday.
IN 4 days from Matanzas, came passen-
gers, Lieut., Dale, late commander of
the U. 5. schooner Alligator, purser
A. \. Humphreys, surgeon Morgan,
acting lieutenant V. NJ. Randolph, act
ing sailing master P. Henley, midship-
man Bowman, acting midshipmen Ball
and jenkins, and So men of the crew
OF the Alligator, taken from the wreck
OF that vessel by the Ann Maria, on the
22d ult.
On the night of the 10Th of Nov. be-
tween 10 and II o'clock, the Alligator
ran on Carysfort Reef, about 80 miles
to the southwark of Cape Florida. Eve
ry effort was made to get her of, by
throwing over some of her guns, shot,
spars, spare sails and rigging, starting
her water-casks, sc. but all proved un-
avalling. Having been three days and
nights on the reef, they deserted, a sail.
and making signals of distress, she i'm
medIatel y ran down for the Alligator.
and took out all her officers and crew.
All hopes Of saving the Alligator being
now at an enc, she was accordingly a.
bandoned, after setting fire to her fore
and aft, and soon after she blew up !
On Sunday last, off Cape Hatteras, |
'Nt 'Hh"iIo1 NOlOuISu man, ldte |
cook Of the Alligator, fell overheard !
the boat was Immediately got out, and
an effort made to save him, but blowing |
fresh, and heavy sea running, it was
unsuccessful.
The day previous to her being wreck
ed, the Alligator had been in chase of |
strange sail.
Three or four weeks previous to her
falling in with the wreck of the Alliga-
tor, the Ann Maria was captured near
GuaJaba (Cuba) by a small piraticaI
schooner, with lead coloured bottom,
having long brass l2 FOUNDER amid

With the exception of one man, were

A few days ago the "button market" in

Eastern travelling merchant, who offered

low prices as to induce number of shop

was discovered that his wares were rather

owing, probably, to the bass wood, OF
which they were made, having been saw

ions were as well made as such buttons
need 10 be, and we'll vanished withal--
so that this unaccountable blunder is really
serious misfortune.
A similar error, it was observed by a
merchant, when he heard of the above
circumstance, occurred in the manufac-
lure OF parcel of nutmegs, that were Sc
'eral years since brought to this market;
