The former wished to charter European YES

The Greek government had addressed a

mating that all vessels found engaged in this
practice, would be seized and condemned as
lawful prizes. Advices had been received by

Nav YoRK, June S.-The schooner

last evening from Carthagena. Pas
..nssrs on board, VIM. ID. Robinson
and James Philips. We understand
Mr.. Robinson is the bearer of spatch-
;. from the Minister of the u. States in
Santa Fs de Bogota TO the Secretary OF
State and also from the government OF
Colombia to their Minister ID. Salazar.
r, this vessel we have received the fol-
loving intelligence:
On the 10th June arrived at Csrtha.
gsna from Martinique, last from Lagui-
"a the French frigats Flora, command
.d oy captain Mallette. in company
With the French brig of war Gazelle.
In the frigate came passenger Mons.

mission 10 has net yet traaspired. Do.
ring the period Mons. Chasserieux re-
NAMED at Laguirs. and since his arri-
val 10 Carthsgens, the people as well
A. some of the authorities, view this
mission in a suspicious or ambiguous
light and it has give0 birth to some
asagseeable feelings on the part of the
French officers, but which tits presum-
cd will speedily subside when the GO
vsrumsni of Bogota become accurately
informed of the real nature Of Mons:
Chssserieux's mission.

ed off Car,hsgepa to land dispatches for
the British Commissioner and the GO

evening she proceeded on her route to
Barbados.
By the arrival of the Suginsm, the
news was confirmed, which had pre-.
yiously been received OF the new CO.
lOmbisn Loan having been finally made
with Goldsmidt, & Co. This intelli-
gsncs rsanimated all classes of society
in CarthagsDa, because the credit of
the government is DOW considered as
placed beyond contingencies: every
species Of public Documents immedi -'e>
" took great rise, commerce has re-
Seived new impulse, and the merchants
and people Of this Republic will DOW no
longer be afraid of contributions and o.
Their cxactions which the government
have hitherto been compelled to en-
force upon them, and consequently will
display their long locked up capital.

The consequences srising from this

OBSTRUCTIVE FIRE.

BosToN, July ga few minutes be-
fore one yesterday afternoon, a FIRE broke
out 10 carpenters shop, at the corner oil
Chestnut and Charles-streets, and notwi,h-
standing tie most spirited exertons, be-.
fore it could be subdued, it proved to be
the most destructive FIRE that has been
known 10 this town Tor many years. We
have had no rain TOR more than fortnight,
so that svery thing was excessively dry;
and the wind blew almost gale. The
fire soon caught two dwelling houses in
Chesnut-sireet, and block on Charles
street, which extended to the corner OF
Beacon street and extended for consld.
cradle distance up Beacon street. The
whole number OF dwelling houses burnt is
Is, one grocery, aad carpenters shop
Some OF the houses destroyed are the finest
in town. Two OF the houses were on
Chestnut street. SIX on Charles street, aud
seven on Beacon street. II was Only by
the greatest exerlons that the fire was al
length arrested, aitsrraging with unabafed
fury tor more than TWO hours. The last
house burnt was separated only by brick
wall IRON the next, the wind blowing d.
rectly upon il, aud the out houses we're
principally of wood. The distant parts Of
the town were at the same time 10 80 small
danger, from the burning tiakes, which
were carried an immense distance by the
wind We have already heard of a great
number OF places where The fire caught,
but was put out before any considerable
injury was done we are not able to give
acomplete list o. the suferers;,he following
is all we have heard-On Chestnut street,
the carpenters shop and two dwelling
houses, were owned and occupied by
Messrs. Stoddard and Lincoln. On Charles
street, Messrs. Bailey and Stanford, kept
a grocery shop at the corner of Bescon-st.
and two dwelling houses we're occupied
by Messrs. Grigs, Granger, Putney, Smith,
Iilden, and Misses Huse, and perhaps o.
theirs, the owners we do not know. On
Beacon street, the houses were occupied
by Messrs. I. SWEET, H. 6. Rice, w Mi
not. L. II. Carter, S Austin and S. Bean,
and most OF them were owned by the same
gentlemen. A large proportion of the fur
nture was saved, it was carried upon the
common, where guard was soon formed
for its protection. Immediately after The
fire was subdued Capt. Loring ,iof the New
England Guards, volunteered to furnish
guard for this purpose, and issued bis or.
ders accordingly, and in forty minutes, 40
members OF his company were on the
ground, and formed a line OF sentines "a
round the property, to be protected. A
bout O'Clock, they were relieved by the
Independent Cadets, who continued the
protection as long as il was needed. We
have heard several reports as to the man-
ner in which the fire caught. One ac-
count attributes il to chlmney--another
to cigar-and a third to boiling glue; but
we do not know which is correct. II was
doubtless an accident. [Da.ly AdU.

FATAL AERIAL EXCURSION.
On Tuesday last Mr.. Harris, a new
candidate for eronautIc fame, accom-.
panied by Miss Stocks, ascerded
in balloon from the Eagle tavern,
City road London. When about two
miles from the earth, near Croydon,
Surrey, Mr.. Harriss prepared to de-
scend, in effecting which we regret to
state, Mr.. Harris was killed. The fol-
lowing are the particulars of the dread
ful catastrophe:
1t appears that when Mr.. Harris had
gained considerable altitude, he said
to his fair companion, Now my dear,
we will descend, for have promised a
gentleman that would meet him in
town, in two hours He opened the
valve at the top, and the balloon de.
seended with surprising rapidity. The
noise occasioned by the escape of the
gas was terrible, and the villagers of
Carshalton were collected together, to
assist the voyagers: but ala: they stood
inactive spectators for in moment the
vehicle fell in the park contiguous to
the mansion Of Mrs. Gree. The game
keeper, and many other persons, ran to
the car, when hey found Mr.. Harris a
corpse, and Miss Stocks totally iosenst
BILE.
Miss Stocks gives the following ao-
count of the transaction.
L ascsnded the balloon in good spi-
ri,s, and 10 consequence of the persons
below holding the ropes, the car was
a little on one side. Mr.. Harris SAID
he would remed y it, aud he threw out
some ballast. In short time we as
cended most ra pid!y and we found our
selves going through the clouds, which
looked like mountains of snoS. Mr
Harris asked me to hold the strIug, and
he looked at his watch. He told me
that we had been up quarter OF an
hour, and said that he had got two pi>
geons. He then again asked me to
hold the string. and then threw out q
piece of paper. and, as far aA4 recoliect
at this moment he said the balloon was
falling rapidly. After throwing out
more ballast, We again assembled. and
got through another cloui when l felt
myself very cold. He SAID, dear girl.
don't let your heart fail. In"Pe we shall
sup together, and wish that you may
for your courage, be connected with
Dy family as long as you live He
then said that we were agaln descend.
ing, and desired me, if be balloon
should incline on one eide, 20 lay hold
of the other. | heared tn balloon 60
clap, clap and he SAID h. was afraid
the balloon was bursting. at which In
formation fainted, an1 remember no.
thing more till found myself in bed
[The latest papers state that MIA
Stocks was fast recoverin and had ex
pressed wish to make 40 Their ascsD'.
