sons purchasing negroes, struck off to him at my SALE
at Whitehall 9Th Of March, as executor of the late
Nicholas Young In the first place there was but one
negro struck off to him, by the anctoneer; others
were offered him at private sae,-provided he would
comply with the terms required. His securities when
offered not meeting with my appreciation, he then
asked if would take General Stuart and Major Bell,
which assented to.-We then made an arrangement
to meet at my house, the following Saturday; accord
ngly he in the evening of that day, spent the

my conduct, with an intention as understood him, to
ask General Stuart, to become Of his securities,
since which have not or heard from him, until
his notice appeared in the Alexandria Gazette. With
regard to his remarks, as to want of common
honesty, am willing to test my character, with that

details, and destitute Of military ccnvul-

the well being of the infant republics OF

all Peru and Chill, as a great military as

nal virtues OF disinterestedness and patrio-
tlsLn, that were wont to be ascribed to him
under the character Of the second Wash

IN the clamor I" cruelty him, cruelty him .
only echo the opinions of those whose
opportunities of observation have been
great by long residence, at the scat of his
government, and whose character entitle
them TO credit. 1t is said that his great
object has been to consolidate the indie
pendent governments of the south into one
vast political system, similarto the Aristoc-
racy OF Russia, or the more odious system
OF theOttoman Porte. Whether this is the
effect OF their fears or their jealousy, is a
matter with me problematical they have,
however, an argument to colour their ap-
prehensions, in the circumstance that the
military are greatly devoted to him that
the creatures of his power are kept around
hIm, to the exclusion of those whose mer-
its and ability entitle them to the attention
OF the government; and that those who
are considered dangerous to the exercise
OF sovereign and uncontrolled power, are
epatriated.
:, 1t IS further said, if any man would be
hhely to succeed in such a scheme it
would be the hero of Colombia" as he
combines in himself great military resour-
ces, with diplomatic intrigue and there is
a perfect equation in his enterprise as a
soldier, and his ability as statesman
they, pant his private character with a
brush as dark as midnight. OF one thing
however | am assured, and that is, that his
pone r mas fallen in Peru; that public opin-
ION IS undivided against him in Chill; and

terest are dependant on his power, who
have not filed against him the sentence OF

More TROUBLE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. Prior
to the election for Governor in New Hamp-
shire, the warm support given to the present
Governor Pierce, by " HIM of .Ncso Hump
shire" as Isaac Hill, Editor of the Concord
Patriot styles himself, created suspicion thai
he might be unfriendly to the Administration
ofthc General Government. The New Hamp-
shire Journal, however, quieted these suspicious,
in the minds Of most of the electors, bya dec
laration that the Editor was authorized to say
that he was a friend Of the Administration
He consequently received nearly the unanj-
nous vote of the State. Still there were those
who doubted, and recent events have shown
that it was not without cause. When the
Governor accepted that office, he vacated the
Office Of Sheriff of IIillsborough and it became
necessary that a new appointment should be
made: In that State, nominations are made
either by the Governor, or the Council, and tho
other may concur therein, or reject it. Ac-
cordingly, after long delay, the Governor
nominated one for tho Office, whose only quail
ficationfor it, said to be, that he "woars the
""H5N VI phi ~ CuiIluVHlOu inc nomination
was promptly rejected by the Council, who, IN
ti,r,,. ,sssssia -.i-, $4,000
by the Governor. There have since been two
more nominations made by the Governor, and
four by the Council, all of which have been
rejected. The qualifications deemed necessary
for the Office, by the Governor, appear to be
opposition to the Administration and subser.
viency TO the views of Isaac Hill. On the 9TH
or hand tho nominations by the Council, which
he has rejected, are from the first men in the
county, among whom are Edmund Parker,
James Wallace Jr., and tho late Governor, d.

tain the rogues of Hillsborough, however,
have fair prospect of going unliung for the

confined; that every man has an appropriate

GALE. One of the most disastrous gales
which have visited this flyer within our
recollection, was experienced on the night
OF Friday last, by which, the loss in both
lives and property is truly lamentable. On
Lake st. Peter, the disas ers are very dis
tresslng, and it is impossible to say what
extent of damage has been done. Four
teen rats, 1t is believed have been shatter-
ed, and by some accounts the number Of
lives lost Is estimated to be nearly an
hundred. We have spoken with person
who was one of those saved from raft
that was wrecked opposite PqiHte du Lac,
on which there were b hands altogether,
III OF whom were drowned; he describes
the suftcrings Of the survivors as painful in
the extreme. Eleven persons were res
cued by the jolly-hoat of the Waterloo
but the crew of the boat were unable to
gam the Waterloo, after they had taken
up the sufferers, and it was feared they
were lost; but happily when the Waterloo
next morning stopped at Three Rivers,
they found that the jolly-boat had reached
that place and that all was safe. BatteauX
loaded with -four, &c. were also wrecked
during the gale; and we have been told
that on the following morning, the Lake
was literally covered with pieces of RATS,
flour barrels, wreck of bateaax, sc. and
presented but one vast scene of dessola-
ton. In Course OF the night some of the
wrecks passed Three Rivers upon which
several persons were clinging, crying fol
assistance in the most appalling manner
but from the extreme darkness of the night
and the violence with which the tempest
ragged, it would have been impossible fol
the inhabitants of Three Rivers to render
them any assistance-the attempt would
have been attended with almost certain
destruction.

Inc commerce of Brazil suffered severe

which had made their appearance on eyery
part OF the coast, from ST. Augustine 10

and commanded by Frcnchman. On this
subject letter from Santos, under date of
18th May, says" Our port is almost in. a
state OF blockade by privateers, they hav-
ing taken, within few days, four more
vessels off st. Sebastian.
BY previous arrival, we had intelligence
OF the total failure Of the Brazilian naval
expedition sent against the Buenos Ayrean
settlement on the Rio Negro. We have
now received, thro' the pollteness of Cant.
Sherman, the Buenos Ayrean official ac-
count of this affair, which resulted so adj
vantageously and honorably to the Patriot
arms. The prisoners taken amounted to
$50. OF these, $50 English and Ameri-
cans Immediately joined the Republican
navy. The brazilian vessels taken, are the
corvette ltaparca, mounting II twenty
four pound carronades, and long I2's !;
the schooner Escudero, mounting twenty
four FOUNDER and twelve pound carron-
AIDES; the scbr. Constancia, formerly the
