gcnce.
The Spanish feet, consisting Of one 81, fri
rates aud schooner under Con- Lahorde, had
Been off the port several days previous to the

intended to blockade the port. The Iampico
came out in the night and saw nothing Of them
Il was reported that they had landed twenty
rpii.s 10 windward Of Carlhagena, and carried
off 20 or so slaves from plantation
The Colombian navy in port, including the
two six,y-fours from New York, WAS very re-
spectacle, and only wanted men to make them
superior to any force which Spain could furnish,
The troops in garrison amounedto about
5000 men, under superior disciplein, s were
constantly kept on duty.

had reached Bogota, and the extraordinary ses-
sion would accordingly be prolonged, and spec
DIV and effectdal measures adopted to prevent
any interruption to the peace and harmony be-

RIO EJANEIRO, 29th May, l826.-The
brig Sylph, to sail in the morning tor BATH
more, is the first direct opportunity that has
presented fer the u States since the departure
of the Saunders. We addressed you last or
the 18th inst, via Pernambuco, advising oil tne
ARRIVAL of the Homer, Sylph, Nereus and Nlr
einia, with near 5000 bbls Flour, OF which
we sold about 1000 bbls. al $500 on board at )
.,on,hs, for ST. Helena The remainder we
have lust closed sales of, principally al | ili7oC
70 l9j cash. Had there been further arrivals
We should not have succeeded III obtaining such
favorable prices. The market is now bare Of
the article in first hands, and should 1t not
come in TOO abundantly, we may calculate on a
bout l2g. There have been but few trihins
lots Of Wheat from Europe for some time past
&a,the Cape Of Good Hope the harvest is said
.obe very limited, so that nothing Is expected
,hence. The crop a, Valparaiso is however re-
ported to be the largest known for years past, &
quoted on the 2ad March at II rails per
taneca. American Flour at the same time
was dull al 81 on board--some oargoes oil
Wheat are looked for from thence, but they
may not be so considerable as 10 AFFECT our
market materially. Our correspondents there
recommend great caution in shipping Hour 10
