left with bu. scan,y supplies of provisions
to subsist upon. On the Goth September,
the Capt. and some Of the. crew were
sent OIL an expedition in vessel under
Spanish colors. The remainder OF the
crew were confined as prisoners for some
time, but after several petitions and re-
monstrances, the governor sent them to
Rio Janeiro, where they were received
on board the u. S. sloop of war Warren
Capt Cooper, who would aid them in
returning home. The foregoing infor-
nation is contained in a letter from one
of the crew ofthe Superior, dated at Rio
Janeiro l4th Nov. The writer adds that
the Superior when taken, had on board
upwards Of I400 prime skins, with a
most prosperous voyage.---An armed
vessel had sailed from Port Louis in
quest Of another vessel belonging to this
port, which was among the Islands.
Our government is preparing to put n
stop to these outrages on our flag and
lawful commerce--and it is hoped these
new aggressions will hasten the means
taken for publishing the piratical ag-
gressors.
FheL-A gentleman who arrived in
town last evening, informs us, he has as
certained that there are now on board Of
vessels, and at the several landings of
the New Jersey shore, within 35 miles of
the city, about ten thousand cords of soo0d,
which will be delivered in tins city imme-
diately after few days Of thawing wealth
Grand great numbers of teams were
still employed in bringing wood to the
landings. We presume there are also
large deposits on the Long Island, Con-
necticut, and North river shores, which
will reach our market whenever the in
lets or creeks become navigable. We
may hope, therefore, not only that there
will be no actual deficiency inthe supply
of fuel, but that the present high rates
will not be long sustained.
NY Mer. Adv.
CoAL.-The Memorial to Congress
from the citizens of New York, praying
for reduction of the duty on foreign
coal, has been published in Baltimore.
The Baltimore Republican, remarking
on the subject, says-"The same meas
ures which have been taken in New York
to lessen the present evils and provide
for the future, should be generally adopt
ed, here and elsewhere. Memorials
should be drawn up urging upon Con-
gress the immediate repeal Of the tax up
on coal, that hereafter the poor will not
be left to the tender mercies' of charter
ed companies, protected from domestic
competition by accumulated and irresis-
tible capital, and from foreign competit-
ion by unwise and anti-iepublican legis-
lation."
a Controversy adiusted--From an ex-
change of notes, copies of,which appear
in the National Intelligencer, it seems
there was some danger of a personal af-
fair between the Hon. s. ID. Miller and
the Hon. James Blair, both of South
Carolina, The difficulty arose from GER
tain expressions mutually used, in the
course of political controversy, in which
these gentlemen had been engaged in
the public papers. The misconceptions
have been removed, and the affair AMIGA
bly, as well as honorably adjusted.
South CAROLINA GoLp.-Capt. Benz.
Halle, of Camden owns mine upon
Lynch's Greek, which no doubt is one of
the richest in the Southern States. He
has already taken from it about 10000
dollars, and the ingots which we have
looked at to day amount to something
more than five thousand--the produce of
ouly two months. Capt. Halle only
works upon the surface, and that, too,
upon small scale. Two masses, which
appear evidently to have been deposited
while in state of fusion, were among
the specimens exhibited to us, and are of
the value of about fifty dollars.
FLORENCE, Ala, Dec. 3.-Mu-
riage and Death!-Married by the Rev.
S. G. Pocy, in Florence, on Thursday
last, Mr.. Thomas Booth, of Franklin
county, to Miss Frances Cox, of Flor
ence. On Saturday night Mr.. Booth and
his wife lodged at Lagrange, in Frank
lin county, both apparently in fine health.
On the following morning the bridegroom
awoke and found his bride lifeless
corpse. This young woman had all the
appearance of vigorous health, and it
appears difficult to conjecture the casse
of her sudden and unprecedented disso-
luton.
Fearful Fdcti--According to the last
census, there are 1856, ,l92 more males
