PHILADELPHIA, July 20.
Further particulars Of the destruction of Pirates
By the sch. Hugh g. Seymour, arrived at the
Lazaretto, we ived the following informa-
ton.
"Sailed from Matanzas 18th July, under con-
10Y of the u. s. sch. Terrier, capt. Rose. On
the 7th July piratical sch. of 90 tons, arrived
at Matanzas, prize to the U. s. barges Gallinip-
per, Lieut.. Watson, and Musquetoe, Inman the
particulars Of her capture are as follows: On
the 5th July the 5arges returning from cruiZe
to the westward, fell in with the pirate coming
out of Jiguapa bay, distant Is leagues from Ma
tanzas. At first she was supposed to be Pat
riot priyateer and the barges being short of pro-
visions, determined to speak her and obtain
supply; on discovering their intention, the pi-
rate rounded TO, discharged her long gun, and
hoisted the bloody flag. The barges immediate
ly gave chase, when the pirate stood up the bay,
anchored 10 shoal water, with springs on her ca
bles, and prepared for action, occasionally firing
at them; when at the distance of so yards dis
charged her long gun, and at the distance of 80
yards gave full round of musketry, without ef-
feet. The bargemen then dischared their mus
kets, gave three cheers, and prepared to board
at this moment the pirates all jumped into the
water, when great slaughter took place twen-
ty-seven dead were counted, five were taken
prisoners by the bargemen, and eight by party
of Spanisrds on shore; others must have sunk
without being observed, aud none are known TO
have escaped. This schooner was formerly a
coaster between Matanzas and Havana, had
been taken by the pirates and carried into il
gnap2 Bay, to ft out, and was starting on her
first cruze, at the time of her capture. She
was fast sailer, mounted one long 8 amidships
on pivot, and two four Founders, had crew of
about fifty men, commanded by the well known
4" Little Devil" socalled from his small stature,
and cruelty. He was killed. The two barges
together bad % men. The prize sailed on the
10th Of July for Key West with her prisoners.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

BY private letter from Madrid dated 23th
May, the most deplorable account is given of the
excuses committed in thatcaptal BY the French
and Spanish guards, on the persons and property
of those who were known to be favorable to the
Constitution. They had demolished the houses
of those persons who had served in the Constitu-
tional Militia, and committed the worst species
of violence on the unhappy females. To live
there is represented to be the same as living
amongst wild beasts, and that it is impossible to
describe the barbarites of the Spanish Canalle
and the French soldiery.
The Chamber where the Cortes held their sit
tings, has been defacea, and the hangings and la
pestry torn down. Such, says the letter. is only
brief account of the many horrors with which
they are surrounded.
The warlike operations in the Peninsula, are
regarded in Cuba with the greatest solcitude and
anxiety. The people of that island appear de-
termined to adhere to the Constitution, even
should the Constitutional Government of the
Cortes be put down in Old Spain. In that event.
there is strong probability that THE ISLAND OF
CUBA WOULD DECLARE ITSELF INDEPENDENT
This language was openly held at the last setting
Of the Ayumamiento at which the Gov. Gen
Wives, had taken great umbrage and evinceC
much uneasiness. AT this meeting, the Govern
or was called upon to answer explicitly, wheth
er he would support the Constitution of 1912
His answer was ambiguous and evasive--" tho
ne troltld be true TO his oath" This reply wa'
by no means satisfactory to the City Authori
ties.

Extract of private letter, dated Perpignan
June s." The arrival of Nina at Oot had beer
announced at Corona. The intelligence from
that city of the LIST, placed him in an entirely
different part. His retreat from Viel is said t.
have astonished even the most intelligent ant
experienced men. He first of all sent hi
wounded to Cardona BY Prats de Llosanes ant
Ceronela, and himself with column of 2OOt
men advanced to PobIa. There he separated
into two columns directing the one upon Baga
and the other upon Cosol. Eroles followed hin
with his brigade, and a French brigade com
manded by Gen. St. Priest Romagosa was
ordered to Cerdagne. He arrived the LIST al
Belize. The whole mountain is alarmed by the
march Of Nina upon Vich. Parties run very
high, and there is a general persuasion, that un-
less the French army receives speedy reinforce
nents, the Royalists are in great Danger"

Mr.. Shlrtey--I visited by invitation of Mr.. Green,
last week, one Of the classes which Is receiving les
sons from him in the English Grammar | was con
sderaby surprised TO find this class composed Of young
ladies' who had got beyond the age, which, in this

But cannot disguise my pleasure, that these ladies

SO much. Wien children 70 to school, they have
so many objects pressed upon their minds that th cir
attention is distracted and broken, and lasting inn

length of time and reiterated application have made
them familiar with it. have doubt that any branch
Of learning may be grappled by the mind, in ncacula
bly, less time, when it is exclusively pursued than
when 1t is attempted in the common mode of our
schools.
Mr. Green gives forty lessons Of an hour EACH in
which course he makes his pupils quite familiar with
all the principles Of grammar, and for which, he char
ges but fire dollars. This opportunity to study very
important branch Of education and that lies Al the
threshold of all the other parts of literature ought

FROM FRANCE.


The following is an extract of letter from a
respectable house, dated Paris June Is.
"The news from Spain has become less encour-
aging for the French army. 1t appears, by the
Moniteur, this morning, that NINA has shelcn
himself on the Frontiers Of France, which Cir
cumstance will retard the operations at Madrid.
Our coast is also much annoyed by the Spanish
cruisers, who have made some valuable captures.
These circumstances may sensibly affect the
state of our markets, which have been now for
two months nearly in complete state Of sus-
pence" N. Y. Juer. .4dU.
Morales has retaken Marcaybo from the Pat
riots. The account received is in letter, dated
June 25, which states the particulars of the at
tack of Maracaybo. Morales at that time was
with the main army at Mosaro, seven leagues
off At the Vigia he met with four companies
of the regiment of Cassideres, who being Joined
by the Royal that retreated from Maracaybo,
and headed by Prieto, entered the town at 8
p. NJ The Colombians were thrown into con-
fusion by this unexpected attack, and 200 Of
them were killed and wounded. Prieto was
killed on the 18th. Morales with the main body
of the army and two additional divisions entered
Maracaybo without resistance. The Colombians
retired to their vessels which anchored out of
gnnshot.
