MEXICAN ACCOUNT OF THE
CAPTURE OFTHEGENERALURREA.
The following account ot the capture of the
Gen. Urrea uv ihe U. S. sloop ol war Natchez,
Commander Marvins, has been communicated
to ns by a Mexican officer, an eye witness to
the whole affair, who has just nrr.ved from
Pensacola with despatches to the Mexican
Consul in this city, lie informs us ttint on
the faith of this'statement. Commodore Dal
las has released the General Urrea. Prepar
ing our rentiers to make the allow an which
naturally will suggest themselves in perusing
these details, we have comp) cd with the au
thor’s wish to g;ve them publicity, bel eying
that they tend, by a comparison wiili ihu
statement which Captain Mcrv.no may deem
it his duty to make, to the formation ut an
accurate opinion upon the subject. It is to
b« hoped that the mildness evinced by Com
modorc Dallas in trotting the late outrage,and
the known moderation and wisdom of linsu
mente, may lead to a pacilic terminal on o'
(he existing difficult:*;*.
Circumstances al/nuling the affair hrhretn
the .Mexican brig of war General I 'rrea
and the V. S. tlwipof tear Piulchez, at aa
hnr off'lhe lirassus St Jago.
The Mexican squadron, competed r.f the
brigs Libertador, \ encoder, Gen. Toran and
Gen. Urrea, met with and com mealed on
the Ist of April in 1at.3018, and long. 88 13-
0, in the meridian of Cadiz, with the schr
Champion from New Orleans, bound for Mat
agorda, loaded with arms provisions and other
merchandise. The commanders of nil of said
vessels being called on board of the Libcrla
dor, held a council which lasted from 8 o'-
clock in the evening until midnight; ihe treaty
with the two nations was examined, and after
deliberation it was resolved that the schooner
be sent to the Metamoras ; that she he deliver
ed up to the Captain, and that the cargo be
detained until the government decided wheth
er it be confiscated or not. Os the 12 passen
gers 0 were pot on board of the General Ur
rea, and the balance remained in the schoon
er with the captain ami his crew. On the
2d at 8 o'clock in the morningo soldiers and
8 seamen were sent from the Libertador with
rations, and exp re-a orders were given by the
commander ot the squadron to the officer
commanding the prize not to touch any thing
belonging to the schooner; so ns to avoid any
- claims that might lieroafter ho made, an order
which was Innhlully obeyed. At 10 o’clock
Capt. Davis bad the hatchways sealed, and
■I oo'clock P. M. the schooner got under
way escorted by the Urroa. On the sth she
anchored off the Dir at the Brasses de St Ja
go, being unable to gel over it, and remained
thereuntil the 7lh,when sho crossed it. On
t lie same day, the Louisiana came to the same
anchorage bound for Matagorda, Texas, from
New Orleans, having been taken by the
squadron, and under Ihu conveyance of an of.
liter. Bhc was also unable to cross the liar
by reason of the violence ol the wave*.
On the Bih the Corvetto Natchez appear
ed Thu Urrea hoisted her Hag, and ordered
the Champion to hoist hors (the American.)
The Corvette approached towards the anchor
age, and sent a boat to the Urrea with some
letters from the Commandant of Marine at
Vera Cruz to the address of the Commander
of the Sqadron. As soon as the boat return
ed she was sent back to the Louisiana; and
immediately afterwards the Natchez anchor
ed near the canons of the Urrea, with norl
bole* open and lighted matches, prepared to
lire. Shortly after this, an order was sent for
the Captain of the Louisiana, and the with
drawal of the seamen and soldiers on board
of that vessel, staling that men would bo soot
from the Natchez.
The commander of the Uirea thereupon
sett' an officer on board of the Corvette, rep
resenting that he was not the capturcr of the
schooner, and could not depan from the or
ders he had received from ihu commander ot
the squadron, and that he was responsible for
all the hostile acts that he might commit
against that vessel. The commander of the
Corvette answered by requesting that the
clearance of the vessel might be shown him .
and was told ; that on the day ufiicr arrival
it was sent to General Bravo ; but that ho
could either directly or thro’ the medium of
his Consul obtain what ho asked fur. Dur
ing this interval the long boat, belonging to
the Corvette, transported Ihe officers soldiers
mid seamen on hoard of Iho Urroa, and placed
in their stead seamen belonging to the Nat
-4 * 111, V*..
Ibuu; 5 o'clock in the evening tho Cor
vette got under way with the Louisiana in
low directing her course N. K. On tho 10th
at 11 o’clock in the morning she moored her
•elf within half a gun shot of tho Urrea, and
immediately sent u boat ashore, which slop
ped on its way and landed an officer on board
■<»f ilte Urroa charged with forbidding the
■Commander oftbal vessel to make sail, under
the penally of being fired into. Tho Com
mander ot' the Urrea astonished nt such a
proceeding on tltb purl of a friendly nation
■did not know what to think, but informed the
Captain of the Port of Brasses St. dago ot
tho circumstances in writing. At 5 o’clock
in the evening, the boat returned with the
secretary of the American Consul and an es
cort. These gentlemen were compelled to
remain on the Corvette 4 days, by reason of
the bad weather. On tbo 15th they went on
shore, and on the same day the Commander
of the Corvette passed a communication to
the Captain of the Port ami informed hint that
although the schooners Champion and Lou
isiana had been illegally captured, they had
been piratically captured; and that if free
communication were not allowed him on
board of the Champion, lying inside of the
Brassos St. Jago, he would make the brig
General Urrea responsible, which was imme
diately under the lire of Ins guns. The same
boat widen carried this message stopped on
her way to the shore, and signified to the
commander of the Urrea that he must not
hoist sail, and that if he did he should he fired
upon. The Captain of the port replied that
he had ciders from General Bravo not to per
mit any communication with the Champion,
but the commander of the Natchez, could ve
ry easily, having a Consul at Matarooras rep
resenting his nation, obtain what he asked
for—and that as for the intention to make
tho General Urrea responsible, ho should be
aware of the responsibilities bo incurred by
insulting the flag ol a vessel of war belonging
to a friendly power. That besides, this, there
were three vessels ready to sail for Now Or
leans ; and t mt the delay occasioned to them
"by his caprice would cause great prejudice to
the interests of the merchants trading between
that place and Metamoras. On the 10 the
Urrea pul up her sails to dry ; at half past
eight o’clock, the Natch'z sent a boat to in
form her that if sho attempted to go to sea,
she would bo sunk ; the Urrea informed the
Captain of the port of this message; and al
Hr two o’clock P. M. the same officer who
had been on board in the morning, sig
nifel, to the Commander of the Urrea to
lower Ins flag and pendant, or he would be
fired upon. The esmmandor of the Urrea
replied, that until he was fired upon he would
not pull down his flag. The answer was no
sooner conveyed back to the Commander of
t ie Natchez than a bn let fire was opened up
on the Urri a. The Urrea with 4 piece* of 8
and a po inder ot] 12, to ng uuafL to contend
■gainst 12, 24 pieces, and a heavy firing from
the docks with grape ahot, lowered her flag.
It was only when tho American flag was seen
floatin'*' over the Urrea that the fort and the
■chr. Bravo opened a fire, but the distance
was so great, that none of the bullets struck
the Corvette. The Commander of the CorJ
vette wishing to land the crow of the Urrea,
it was thought ashore that he intended to
make an attack on the coats, and the lire from
he fort was directed towards the 4 boats
transporting them, when a ball etrack an
American schooner Which was moored irnme
■ diately in the direction of the embarcanons
e The crew ol the Urrea returned onboard of
7 her and the Natchez made sail.

i ~ PUBLIC MEETING.
! A largo snil highly respectable meeting of the
| citizens of this place, was held this morning at tt
' o’clock, at the Masonic Hall, In pursuance of the
, rsll made in yesterday evening’s paper —Wm.
W. Holt in the Chair, and Wm. T. Gould and
) Jno. Kerr, Secretaries. Mr. Hale offered a pre
• amide and several resolutions, which from their
length, are excluded from to-day’s paper. The
, preamble recited lha unprecedented slate of af
fairs in the roin mercial world—the suspension of
( specie payments by the Banks in alt the com"
i mercial cities of the Union, and urged with
. great force tho necessity of a similar course on
the part o( the Banks in this city.
The Resolutions request the Bunks of this
] city I" suspend specie payments and pledge tho
co-operation of the citizens to sustain them by
receiving I Indr lolls at par in payment of debts,
. and fur ordinary business transactions. A reso
r lotion was also passed requesting the Governor
• to call an extra session of the I,egislalure to take
into consideration, tho condition of the currency
f of Ihe Country.
r oO’ An important error occurred in the ad
vciliscment of the Bank of Auguste in jester
, day’s paper, in staling that the owners of slock,
. prior to the sale in January last, would receive a
- distribution of three dollars and thirty-two cants
■ per share. It should have been three dollars and
ninety- two cents.
1 There is hut little doubt that the Banks in
Charleston have suspended specie payments.—
r On Tuesday last s public meeting was held, nt
j which n Committee was appointed to report upon
r the propriety of suspending, to on ndjnarned meet
s ing to he held yesterday. Another Committee
I was appointed to call on the Banks and request
(hem to suspend (forthwith, until the result of
yesterday’s meeting should he known—the re
quest was immediately complied wiih,
-
On Friday evening last, on the receipt of the
news of the suspension of the New York Banks,
a meeting was held in Boston, at which upwards
of forty Banks of that city, Salem, Charlestown,
Cambridge, Boxbury, Lowell and Concord, were
represented. It was unanimously resolved to
suspend specie payments. All tho Boston Banks
except three were represented.
AMERICAN TURF REGISTER.
Tho May No. of this handsome and popular
work, in addition to much interesting reading
matter, contains a beautiful, accurate, and highly
riniahed engraving of our famous Georgia horse,
Job* Bxscombz, accompanied by a memoir of
him; which cannot fail to rendar it attractive to
the amateurs of the Turf, particularly In Georgia,
atbl Hid South.
It will he seen by the following article from
tho Balt. American, that the Government has
ordered Ihe Collector of the Customs ot that City,
to receive nothing but specie mid the bills of spe
cie paying Banks, in payment of Custom House
Bonds.
The evening papers slate that the Collector of
this Port has received a Treasury Circular requir
ing the payment of money accruing on Bonds
and Customs, to bo made in Specie, and tiro
Notes of specie payment banks, that are at par,
at the Custom llouae.
We learn Hint on Saturday, the notes of the
. Deposite Bank, where one or more Bonds were
’ due, were refused in payment of those Bonds,
and tho merchants being without the gold or sil
, ver required by the Circular, were compelled to
let them go unpaid.

BALTIMORE. May 13th, 1837.
I presume that before (his reaches you, the ex
ample which was first set in New York of a sus
pension of specie payments by the Bunks, and
which lead to a suspension by tho banks in
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston, and various
other places, will have been followed by tho
banking institutions in the South. This pro
ceeding Ims given comparative ease and tranquil
ity to the public mind. Tbo torturing anxiety
which pervaded the community has been remov
ed ; and the effect pf tho measure is only fell for
good. Tho grout inconvenience resulting from
it is tho want of small change; but this will be
promptly remedied, by tho issuance of notes for
small sums, on undoubted security.
The two banks in Washington, which have
tho benefit of the Government doposilcs, contin
ued yesterday to meet all demands against them
in specie. The experimenters covered with con
fusion as they must be at the results of their tin
kering with the currency, arc resolved to main
tain one of these —the I’d —the Bunk of the
Metropolis, nt nil hazards. Tins evening SliiO,-
000, in specie passed through this city, for the
vaults of the Bank of the Metropolis— all of which
. bad been obtained from the mint at Philadelphia,
i Your readers may well ask what right the faction
' at Washington have to use tho specie of the poo.
I pic to sustain this pampered little pet bank un
der the eaves of tho Treasury 1 No right nt all.
But thus they quibble. The Bank of the Metro
i polia (so long as it is sustained by the Govern
ment wnly I) is a specie-paying bank. Tbo Gov-
I eminent may therefore lake its notes in exchange
, for specie—it does take its notes—pile them up—
. and then with this enormous accession to their
■ own specie basis tho President and Directors
I come out and boast they can pay every demand
’ against them in specie I Was there any thing
I ever more contemptible 1
, It is a remarkable illustration of the Ignorance
i of (he wiseacres who arc in places of power and
' boast around the White House, that up to the
1 last moment (hey had not tho least idea that tho
depositories of the public money—the instruments
that were to have been of the better currency—
I would stop payment in specie. On tho very day
’ when the New York p«ls all suspended, the
Globe hooted at tho proposition! General Jack
, s m’s chosen stale banks were tie first to yield.
In truth tbo Government itself was seven days in
advance of (ho banks in its inability to meet its
1 engagements hy tho payment of coin. In the
(■egimiiug of this month, the Treasury drafts on
| the deposit Banks at Natchez, Miaa., for a large
I sum in si>ecie were refused payment and protest
i ed ! The Government baa checked several times
. since fur specie on the Deposit Banks of Now
i York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, and in every
I case the agents of the “Belter Currency” have
’ positively refused to meet the demand. But
■ while the Government itself is thus bankrupt,
| and cannot pay in specie, it has the modesty to
demand specie in payment ot debts to itself. The
l I Secretary of the Treasury has issued a Circular
requiring payment of moneys accruing on bonds
and customs to be made in specie, ot the note* of
specie-paying hanks. Tke Postmaster General
f has forbidden bis deputies to receive any thing
but specie in payment of poclagc. The i rcaau
ry Circular is still in force requiring apecie in
payment of public lauds—and ail this, while the
Government checks cannot be turned into specie
at any ofita depositories. Even the French In
demni y, which was brought home in gold, can
only be got in pajier, The Government charger!
the claimants five per cent premium for the honor
: of getting gold. But when the claimants applied
* to Hie Bank of America in New York, for the in
stalment then due, and demanded payment in
j specie, they were refused ! So much for the
glory of this grand achievement, which was so
r loudly boasted of by Hie parly.
( “The Experiment,” is working well now for
the causa of Hie Whigs. The Jackson-mcn arc
rapidly leaving tho Van Burcn tanks. Allis
. quiet in Baltimore, and people are looking with
| confidence fur a better state of things. M.

The Convention met. The minutes of the
* meeting litis morning were read.
i Mr. Milehrl, of Clark, submitted the following
preamble and resolutions.
Whereas, at a meeting of the Republicans of
Georgia, held at Milledgcville, in December last
it was recommended that a Convention of Dele
gates should be cltescn to meet on this day, and
at this plac, to consider.
Ist. What measures can be adopted by the
Convention calculated to advance the principles
of the Republicans of Georgia, and to evince their
united action in aupporl of (bote principle!.
2d. In wU«t nioJe the sense of such Convcn
tion could be most efficiently ascertained, in the
•election of • citizen to be presented as the candi
date of the Republican Party of Georgia, at the ;
next election of a Govenor of this Slate. And [
whereas in the opinion of this Convention, the
united action of the Republicans of thia Hlatc,
cannot fail to he secured if the measures of this
body shall be marked by prudence and discretion;
by harmony among ourselves, and by that spirit of
conciliation to others, which should characterize
our deliberations at thia interesting crisis. And
whereas, ibis Convention does also believe, that
a decided majority of the people of Georgia are
disposed to rally round those sacred principles
for which Georgia in all her political departments
basso long and so zealously contended; which
have heretofore constituted the creed of her most
distinguished statesmen; which undet the author
ity of the patriot Troup sheilded us from the in
fatuated measures of the younger Adams; and
which alone can enable us successfully to resht
the still more alarming corruptions of the Federal
Government, at the present day. That the stan
dard of Republicanism raised by this Convention,
will call to the rescue the patiiots of Georgia, in
vindication of the just rights of the State, and in
the enforcement of purity in the administration
of the Federal Government, as alike conducive,
and alikej indispensable to the perpetuation in
its constitutional spirit, of our Federal Union—
Theieforc.
Resolved, That the Republican Party of Geor
gia, will enter upon this renewed struggle for the
preservation of the great principles herein before
ind icated,
Resolved, That it will be advisable to organ
ize a general superintending committee of the Re
publican Party of Georgia, and committees in
the several counties of the State, for the purpose
of concert, and co-operation.
Iletolved, That the sense of thia Convention
in the selection of a citizen, to lie presented as
the Candidate of the Republican Party of Geor
gia, at the next election for a Governor of this
State, can be most effectively ascertained by bal
lot, and that this Convention will immediately
proceed to perform that duty.
Iletolved, That the citizen who shall have a
majority of the ballots of this Convention in his
favor, shall be nominated by this body as the can
didate for Governor, of the Republican Parly of
Georgia, and that, yielding all personaf predilec
tions to the ascertained sense of the majority,
each member of this Convention will zealously
exert himself in the use of all proper and honor
able means to ad vance the election of the person
so nominated.
Mr. Cooper of Hall, offered the following res
olution as a substitute ; which was adopted.
Iletolved, That this Convention do now pro
ceed by ballot, to the nomination of a candidate
suitable to receive the suffrages of the people of
Georgia, at the approaching election for Govern
or of this Stale.
Mr. Hairispf Newton, offered the following
additional resolution ; which was adopted.

From the N Y. Exprers, May 13.
The Buffalo Banks.—lt appeals from the
Buffalo papers, that tho injunction issued against
tho banks in that city excites great indignation.
“To satisfy all,’’{says even the “Slat’’ of that
place, Regency as it is, ' “that the banks arc sol
vent, wo learn that tho injunction was served by
the messenger of the eastern banks, who drew
from the hunks, in specie, the full amount due to
eastern hanks, and then served the injunction.
We have yet to learn tho propriety of commission
ing a messenger, first <o draw out tho amount due
to some favoured section of the state, and then
close tho banks against all others. We know not
how this is looked upon by others’, but with ns it
appears to bo an indignity no'; to be borne in
silence.”

spacious Seine at tho Indian Head Landing the

of seven hundred thousand Herring were taken,

CURED BY EXTERNAL APPLICATION.
DU A. G. HULL’S UTERO ABDOMINAL
SUPPORTER is off red to those afflicted with
Pfotapsus Uteri, and other diseases depending upon
relaxation of the abdominal muscles, as an instru
ment in evety way calculated for relief and perma
nent restoration to health. When this instrument is
carefully and properly htted to the form of the pa
tient it invariably affords the most immediate immu
nity from the distressing “dragging and bearing
down” sensations which accompany nearly all ea
ses of Visceral displacements of tho abdomen, and
its skilful application is alw'ays followed by an ear
ly confession of radical relief from the patient her
self. The Supporter is of simple construction and
can be applied by the patient without further aid.
Within tho last two years 700 of the Utero Abdomi
nal Supporters have been applied with the most hap
py results.
The very great success which this Instrument has
met warrants the assertion, that its examination by
’ the Physician will induce him to discard the dis
gusting pessary hitherto in use. It is gratifying to
state, that it has met the decided approbation of eve
i ry raeraberofthe Medical Faculty who has applied
. it, ns well as every patient who has worn it.
The Subscriber having been appointed agent for
the sale of the above Instruments, all orders address
ed to him will be promptly attended to.

tbs?,. THIS Celebrated Racer will make
l fAYiEt his first season at the HAMPTON
I near Auguata, Go.,under
B|lhe direction of Mr. Freeman VV.
\ 3 Lacy, and be let to Mares, the ensu
nor season, at One Hundred Dollars
the season, payable 25th December next, with One
Dollar to the Groom ; the season to commence the
15th February, and end the 16tu July next. It is re
quested that persons sending mores, wti! sen d a note
for the season and a pedigree of the mare.
John Bascombe never having covered, his powers
as a foal-gettor are, of course, unknown ; such mares
therefore, as do not prove in tool, shall have the
benefit of another season, free of charge. Messrs.
Glascock & Lacy arc extensively provided with Lots
and Stables, for mores that may be sent to remain
with the herse, and will be fed at fifty cents pet
day. Black servants, sent with mares, fed gratis.—
Every care and attention will be taken to guard
against accidents or escapes, but no liability w ill be
incurred fur either. A report having gained circula
tion that John Bascombe would not cover, X lake
this method to contradict it, so far as he has not re
(used.
PEDIGREE.—John Bascombe is a light chesnnl
fifteen and a half hands high,fine bone and muscle,
with very superior limbs and action, six years old
the ensuing spring ; he was got by the celebrated
horse Bertrand, sen., bis dam was got by Pacolet.
and he by imported Citizen; bis grand dam by im
ported Buzzard ; and bis great grand dam by Wadt
Hampton’s Paragon, and lie by imported Fliranapj
his dam by Harwell's Traveller, his grand dam Ca
millia, by old Fearnought out of Calista, imported
1 by Col. Bird ; Burnell's Traveller was by Morton's
Traveller, out of Col. Bird’s Ctlista; Bascorabe’s
great great grand dam by imported Figure, his great
great grand dam was old Sharaerkin, who was got
by imported Wildair, out of the imported Cub Mare.
Bascombe’s performance on the Turf are of so re
cent date, and consequently so well known, I deem
it unnecessary to trouble the public with any remarks
of mine, in relation to them, except to stale that lie
has never lost a heat since he has been in my hands.

small Wooden House; both bound by an alley, H
making them nearly equal to corner lots.
Also, Seven other Lots, lying in the upper part i

A largo Tract of Land containing between 16 and
17 Hundred Acjcs w ithin 10 miles of Town, and

through a never-failing stream ol water, w ith a Saw
Mill on it, which runs two saws and a Grist Mill;
only about one hundred acres cleared, and the bal
ance n forest welt set with timber and fire-wood of.
the best kind, and a sufficiency to bring upwards of a®
Fifty Thousand Dollars, which would be sold for
about one-eighth part or less than tho wood would f
bring. If this tract is 100 large,any part will bo

Also, between 4 and 5 Hundred Acres of Land, W.
lying within three miles of Augusta, about one-half ||

House, Servant Houses, and all others that is ne- I ▼
cessary for a farm; with an elegant Well in the yard. I »,
—Having a thorough know ledge of all the wooden I
land within the vicinity of this place, 1 can say with- I
outthc fear of contradiction, (taking in consideration I
the locality of it) that it is not equaled in timber and I
li e-wood, as it would yield altogether much more t
than any other within its reach; it lays very level I
and all well adapted for cultivation, when the owner I
may choose to clear it, and tho wood will more I
than four limes yiay for the land.
Also,
Three Houses and Lots in Harrisburg, and a- I
bout 20 other Lots in said village,just above Angus- I
