He sailed next day-had muske's aud
10 swords, which he borrowed, with three
extra men and boat TO take them back.
At III, A. NJ miles from the Fort, dis
covered boat OF about tons, with 80
meu on board. Captain 4. manned his
boat with his men 10 engage her--when
they fed for the shore, and the men made
ter the bushes. When our Soat approach
ed within about 20 yards, they rushed out
and opened fire upon US, wounded one
man in the arm, and several shot passed
through The sails ard into the bu'l-wben
the boat put back 10 the brig, pursued by
the pirates, but escaped with great exer-
tons The brig then went back 10 port,
hired 90 men with launch, 9swives and
10 muskets, and put 10 sea again on the
18th About miles from the fort, saw
copper bottomed schooner of about so
tons, approaching US; she came within gun

swivel at her. She then stood of, and
made an attempt 10 get 10 windwar but
on returning within musket shot, seeing so
many men on toard, she lacked and stood
for the shore. She had about 80 men on

LATEST FROM SPAIN.

The arrival yesterday of the schooner Eliza and
Polly, Captain Fernandez, in days from Havana,
furnishes US with files of papers to the 25th instant.
These papers contain the latest intelligence from
the Peninsula, received on this side Of the Atlantic.
MINA'S VICTORY!
Under the head Of Cadiz, June 9, we read this
Iheart-cheering intelligence. An express had ar
rived from Catalonia, which gives to general Nina
victory over the French and factious, in which the
latter lost 424 men killed, and 500 prisoners, hume
rous quantities of arms and ammunition three can
mons and large quantities OF stores and provisions.
The Spaniards lost lneu en0ugi says the account.
The battle continued an entire day, without cessa-
ton OF fire, and in the evening when the superior
numbers of the enemy had pushed Nina too closely,
and almost surrounded the forces under his i'm
mediate command this gallant general was timely
reinforced by the division Of Colonel Manso, and
That Of Zarraqun who, attacking the French upon
their rear in unison with the regiments Of the line,
lCanaries, Astu,as and Numancia effected their
entire defeat The cavalry, it is added, blunted The
lime edge of their sabres on the perhdious enemies
of their country.

From the MjssiSsippian.


The MisSiSsippi.-Th august and mighty
stream which has for the last eight years, rolled on
in peaceful majesty, content to threaten and then
retire without moesting those vast and fertile val
eys that lie exposed to its mercy and which by their
extreme fruitlulness tempt the agricutursst TO
risk the chance Of an inundaton, has in spite of the
strong levee thrown up to resist its inroads, spread
many miles beyond its usual bed, overlooking the
numerous rich and highly cultivated plantations
that lie upon its borders, and compelling the in
habtants 10 leave their homes at time when their
lcrops are in state of lorwardness, which is only
Experienced on the luxuriant soil Of this Nile OF
america, and which like that of Egypt has It's
periodical swels, with regular intervals. We have
not an accurate knowledge Of the history of those
mighty swell;ngs Of the waters, but we believe from
la general deduction that it is from eight 10 nine
lyears, with very few Irregularities
The greatest extent OF the water is not known
ou; we understand, hat party in small boat
lcame in direct line from Ouachitla 10 this place
and found the whole country entirely covered and
na.gable in every direction from which we infer
the overflow most extend from one to two hundred
miles in many places.
Nearly all the Stock must inevitably perish

the forest and boundess praries, have already beer

10 leave their woned haunts and seek safety on this
SIDE, or take refuge upon The small knolIs, where
they fall an easy and unresisng prey to the sports
men who we are sorry to learn, are wantonly en-
gagged in destroying them, thus encircled by the
drowning element, and under circumstances which
can afford other qualification than the mere
pleasure Of killing them; or that of making " cap
ltisity captive"
Taking into consideration The amazing resources
and extent OF this river, and the vast volumes o
water which it annually contributes to the ocean
we think it may be very Justly pronounced one o
the nsblest in the world, and without assuming any
undue preiensions, vie with the far famed though
mysterious Niger--at least this wonderful pheno
menon in the productions of nature, could not lose

IS i consistent with his justice, to force life upon
race OF mortals, without their consent, and ,her
oamn them eternaHy, Without ever opening to then
door OF salvation? Our conceptions of the rrn
et0aS ood are more noble and we think that those
VINO teach Otherwise, do little less than b[aspheme
Again, 1t Is through the care and goodness of The
Ilmaghty, that from the beginning OF time, through
many generations, to this day, our name has been
preserved, unboted out by enemies, Introduced 10
nothing. BY the same care we now enjoy our lives;
are furnished with the necessary means of pr
Ing those lives But all these things are triflinp.
compared with our salvation.
Therefore, since God hath been so careful of us
IN matters OF little consequence, it would be absurd
TO affirm, that he has neglected US, in cases Of the
greatest importance. Admit, that he hath forsaken
u.s. yet II could not have been without Just cause
Let us suppose, that an heinous crime was commit.
ted by one OF our ancestors, like to that which we
are told, happened among another race of people /;
IN such case, God would certainly punish the cri-
mtnat, bur would never involve US, who are inno-
cent, IN his guilt Those who think otherwise must
make the almighty very vhimsical, M-natured
oetnS. Once more, are the Christians more vrtu
GUS or, rather, they not more vicious than we
are II so, how came it to pass, that they are the
Objects OF Gods benefcence while we are neglect
ed! Does the Deity confer his avors without rea-
son, and with 80 much Partially? In a word, we
lhnd the Christians much more deprayed, in their
morals, than ourselves; and we judge of their doc
trne By the badness Of their Hres."
