The Hussar FrigGte.-We are infor-
med, that several guineas have been
lately obtained from the sunken wreck
OF this vessel, Tin the harbor of New
York by the aid of the Diving Bell.
The mud in which they are imbedded is
drawn W; and upon being washed of,
the leash" is found. They indicate
their long salt water residence, and some
of them shew the resting place of the
oyster. Whether this vessel had the
British military chest on board, for the
pay OF the troops at Rhode Island, or
had not, is still a matter of doubt. The
officers on board would, of course,
have their private purses, and the few
pieces found may have belonged to
them. -
"IHe Cagots "a late traveller mott
ces a singular degraded people of this
name, who inhabit the valley Of Lieze,
in a wild part of the French side of the
Pyrennees. They appear to be as
wretched as human beings can be-the
outGasts of society, a separated and de-
graded race, whose very touch is as
pollution, even at churches they are
required to enter by a particular door
provided for their use, and no one will
even use the 'holy water" if they have
dipped a finger into il. They are much
affected with the goitrs, and some are
rendered very hideous by it, and their
compilations cadaverous in the extreme
They are supposed to be descendants
of the Saracens; and for ages have
been kept in their degraded state by
the successive and cruel prejudices o.
other persons who hardly respect them
as being of the human species.

The Death of Mr.. Canning predicted
by Niron, the Astrologer. In an old
book, entitled the Prophesiss Of Robert
Niron, printed in the year ITO is the
following prophetic declaration, which
appears to referto the late melancholy
event which has deprived the English
nation of one of her brightest ornaments:
I'm the year 1927 a man will raise HIM
self, by his wisdom, TO n Of the most
exalted offices in the state. His King
will invest him with great power as a re-
ward for his zeal. England will be great
ly rejoiced. A strong party will enter
into league against him, but their envy
and hatred will not prevail. The pow
er of God, which reigneth over all, will
cut him off in his prime, and the nation
will bitterly bemoan her loss. Oh, Eng
land! beware Of thy enemies. A great
friend thou wilt loose in this man"
