LATEST FROM SOUTH AMERICA. !
We are politely favored by the
keeper of the Steam Boat Hotel Head
ing-Honm books widi a copy of a let
ter from captain Driver, late mate,
but last supercargo of the schooner
Two Sons out of this port, which
was handed by captain iTalt, of the
schooner general S'.ott, arrived in
Hampton Hoods yesterday in 19 days
from Bt. Thomas, daied
Iff ad Quarters of Admiral Brian,
Inland of Margaritta.
Fnmpatar , April 2S, 1817.
I was captured 00 the 24th March,
in the Danish schooner Post Boy,
hound lo Laguira. hy tbo schooner
Venezuela and brig Free Indian be
longing to admiral 11 rion’s squadron,
and being sent into Margaritta, was
condemned for an all edged hrea b of
proclamation ol\ Brim and Bolivar,
which declared Cutnana, Laguira ami
Porto Cavallo in a state of blockade.
The inhabitants of ibis island are
not friendly disposed lo admiral Rri
on, and do not* wish him to main
head quarters among them. Tins
circumstance and (he Inability of the
island lo furnish subsiitance even fop
its own inhabitants, has 1 understand,
determined him to remove and esui-
Idish himself at Guam peachy, near
the mouth of Oronooko river. His
squadron consists of the brigs Free
Indian and fee American, and
schooner, Decatur, Condor and o c
oilier, small schooner, which is his
whole naval force. jVot more than
five Americans were in the squadron,
and Ihey left it yesterday. The ship*
are entirely manned hy St. tV mingo
and oilier Creoles, and commanded
by Fren»dimen; they are in bad order
and their crew in wretched disci
pline.
A man arrived here yesterday who
was in Ihc castle when it was slormed
by Ihe Spaniards; he supposes that
when he made lus escape. £0 more
might have done the same. l!eslale%
that when Bolivar left Barcelona for
the interior, there were about 400
men (with some women and children)
in the Castle-fort, It is supposed lie
will endeavoi lo cut his way t tiic
Oronooko.
| The patriots of Venezuela consider
the Danish government hostile to
wards ihern. and seem lo he aware
i that lhey have no forces in Ihe colo
nies to keep them in cheek. The
Danes will however, in a short lime,
be compelled (o take a stand; Ihey
cannot remain neutral or (heir flag
will be insulted, and (hen they will be
compelled lo seek redress, which will
be made a pretext for hostilities a
gainst them.
Three days ago, (he British man
of war Brazen, captain Sterling, ar
rived, and demanded (he surrender of
a Spaniard, who had been taken out
of an, English schooner, with S-iOOO
about three months ago. He was
given up, which would not have been
done, hud admiral Bjt’ion been lure.
The money was refused.
I am of opinion that the patriot
cause will not succeed in this quarter
under its present guides, Bolivar, the
chief, having lost much of his confi
dence in bis officers, and a large por
tion of his soldiers. The removal of
general M‘Gregor, from this pro
vince, tended much to injure the pa
triot cause; ne was a very brave and.
popular, but injudicious oflb er. Not
withstanding the ai(edged blockade of
Cumana, Laguira, Ac’. I am of opin
ion that American or English vessels
might enter either of these ports
without molestation.
[By the following postcript, dated
St. Thomas, April 23 1817, it ap
pears that the writer had gone from
Margaritta (0 St. Thomas, between
the 23 and 28th.]
P. S. I was the bearer of a letter
from admiral Brian to tbo governor
qt this place, which I forward*d lo
him at St. Croix, but have not beard
any thing in reply.
A LETTER
Received hjlhe Canton* arrived at M
Fork,from Liverpool, contains the
followiug interesting information:
“ Our countryman, the gallant
Lord Cochrane, is about to leave En
gland in a frigate, purchased from
government; she will be fitted and
manned in the first style; it is suppo
sed she will have near 600 choice
seamen, with a full eampany of ma
rines. Government is glad to gel rid
of him, andltf (he turbulent spirits,
for whom ho is only pioneer. Another
of our restless Scots, now in Vviftzu
ela, is to join lord C. w ith a land force
and take of East Florida
or Cuba, the latter in preference, if
mM
the disposition of the inhabitants
should promise success lo the enter*
prize. This patriots
command of all the trade of the Gulf
of Mexico by their numerous eruizers,
and certainly tend to facilitate the in
dependence of Mexico. The citizens
of the Slates whom I have conversed
with here, say, that their government
would be well pleased with such a pro
cedure, and so far from interfering,
wduld not even accept a cession of
that province, while in the hands of
the patriots, until peace should be
finally efciaUMied between Spain and
tlm new empires now rising on the
ruins of flic old. This indeed seems
eeasonahle, and is certainly the soun
dest policy for the Slates to pursue:
Fast Florida is of very little value,
and if the States have demands to so
gieatan amount as it is said they
have on Spain, the Island of Cuba
wou Id he more suit able to obtain a com
pensation. The natives of it who are
well informed, seem of our opinion,
that the whole population would glad
ly throw' themselves into the arms
and under the government of the
Stales, well knowing they would then
get bread to eat at one half the price
it costs them at present, he p&id dou -
ble price for their services and labour,
and he secured in the possession of a
rational liberty. After so many years
of vain negotiation, it seems probable
things will take this course* so it ap
pears to us Englishmen, who demand
i justice through ourgovern.neut.sViien
! ever we at*6 wronged, aud if not spec
j di!y redressed—war. We are indeed
surprized at the patience of the Auie
; cans, having ourselves felt what they
; are capable of. 'l’he people of Fng
j land auJ of Europe generally, are
‘ noxious for the liberation of the Spa
nish colonics, aud wish nothing more
! ardently than that Britain and the
I .
j States would unite in aiding (heir in
funt efforts <o shake off'theyofee. As
the States are so near and so much
| interested politically, as We!laspecu
i niarily, (hey should set the example,
jit On this interesting topic 1 beg to hear
4 from you very soon ami fully.”
A postscript to the above letter is
added—

! To Don Luis de Onis,
■ Minister Ften*po ent-.a'y of his -olir M»
jesty, near the gov, rmneolof the U. Sta.es.
Sio—To the diplomatic
! deuce between you and the bonioura
j bib Secretary of State of the Caired
I States. I iittd you have made very ho
nourable mention of my name; I
• therefore hasten sir, to return you my
most sinrerethanks. There arelhowe
j ver, two points inyourcommunicntioo,
i which I beg leave to explain; aud that
i explanation 1 give with (liemore plea
| sure, because it will probably render
. you in future, more respectful to the
government of the United States, and
may even spare you an unnecessary
embarrasment at our next interview.
You have attempted, sir, to cast a
shade on the administration by your
simple assertion, that I was eoncern
i ed with the revolutionary party at St.
{ Antonio de Bexar: this statement is
altogether, and must be wilfully in
correct, since it is a fact of notoriety,
(hat on my passage lo the interior
( province of Mexico (being (hen on a
; mission under the authority of Use
i government) I was detained a prisdn
er three days at the river Trinity by
the patriots, and the flag of the U.
States, my companion, and even my
servants, were taken from me, and 1
w as compelled to pass through a wil
derness of near 400 miles alone. 1
aver that I was not directly or indi
rectly concerned in that army, altho’
sir, 1 assure, had I not been* in the
service of my ow n country, F would
most cheerfully have been one of the
party. v
As it regards the second point, in
which you affirm that I was concern
ed in the murder of fourieen Spanish
bflicers, suffer me to inform you, sir,
(hat I was (hen <n N. Orleans, on my
way to Washington City, when that
outrage was committed. | was per
sonally acquainted, sir, with all those
officers, and the most cl* them were
gentlemen of honour and worth: with
the unfortunate governor llorrara 1
had been intimate for many years*
aud. sir, any bm an illiberal Spaniard
in ay Judge of my friendship lor that
amiable soldier, when I state, that
my sen has borne his name for more
than ten years; no one can deplore
more than myself, (hat horrid nssas'
sinuiiouj but, sir, by whom was it per
• •
*•
petrated? wasitby Americans? No»
sir, it was by the secret order of the
commander in clilef, a Creole Span
iard, who pos -’sed, however, no o
ther feeling or sentiment, than that
which is common to every natiie of
that country;it is a feeling, sir, U hioh
has arisen from three hundred years
of dreadful servitude, and it is to a
sense of that injury that Mexico will
sooner or later owe her independence,
and every European Spaniard, in that
country, the loss of his head; yet, e
ven this awful sacrifice, will be a fee
ble atonement for the blood shed in
the conquest.
I shall now add, byway of conclud
ing (his note, that as your language,
sir, is extremely indecorous. 1 shall
not descend from Uie dignity of an A
meriean ami an officer of the Mexi
can republic, to reply to the illiberal
and scurrilous observations of a min
ister of, Ferdinand the seventh. You
will, therefore, please lo Recollect,
that, as yon stale, I have, in my own
person, declared war against (be king
your master, 1 shall, in all future cor
respondence on the subject of that
war address my commnical ions to the
king your master; but, sir, I give you
a parting assurance, that i will give
bis majesty sufficient time to calm the
very important considerations which
lie before him , having heard through
the medium of your official eorres- i
pondenec. that his majesty, your mas
ter, was too much occupied with or
ganization of the officers of (he bed
chamber anil (he toilette apartments !
of his young spouse, to attend, at j
Ibis moment, to the trifling consider- i
at ion of Spanish relations with the
United Sta cs, or (as I suppose) the
insurrection of an hundred provinces
m America.
I solicit you, sir, to accept iny most
sincere salutations, and my wishes
that von may live a thousand years
to cojoy the reputation which you
have acquired in America.

CHINA TRADE.
A late London Courier, in speak
ing of the trade with India, says
“(hat by (lie latest accounts from
Canton, received by an American
ship, arrived at Dover, there were
when-the vessel sailed no less than
sor 1 ]) two sh'p8 f chiefly Americans
and Swedes loading in /he river with
teas, for Europe / Nominally these
vessels are bound for continental ports
but their angles are destined for
Great Britain and Ireland!— How
/ran Ibis be? By smuggling in the
channel, and by running the rest of
their cargoes from (he continental
ports. All of these cargoes arc in
tended for (he British market, and
evenmneh English capita! is embark
ed in these speculations.”— ¥

Interesting Discovery*
The chyiuists of Paris "*• ve lately
made some very eurious experiments
on tobacco, whic h if found lo be cor
rect, will occasion a great innovation
in (he trade and manufacture of the
vegetable. Their results were that
the acrid principle of tobacco dilfei 1 *
from (bat of all other vegetables
whose properties are known; that it
can, by an easy process, be seperated
Irom the plant either green or dried,
and in a liquid state; and that the
juice thus extracted may be combined
with the dried leaves of any (ree,and
thus form tobacco. The remains of
the plant, after the acrid principle is
thus seperated, have neither smell
nor taste. ( igars have •thus been
manufactured at Paris of rose leaves
ami tho*e of other flowers, impreg
nated with the acrid principle of the
tobacco plant, which could not he
distinguished from (ho best cigar.*,
manufactured in (be usual manner.
, T t
One of the greatest singularities,
worth remarking, of the present times
is (his, (hat Mirza, (he Persian Am
bassador at the Court of St. Peters
burg, cannot converse with the Em
peror Alexander, nor the Emperor
Alexander w’th him, in any other lan
guage lhaq the English! * The Em
peror doesnot understand (be Persian,
nor the Ambassador (be Russian.

Beware of Spurious Banktf^
We are indebted fi,p the following |«.
tclligem c to a highly respectable tor
respondent:—
“ To the Editors of the Chronicle,
“ WASHINGTON CITY, 22D MAY
" Gentlemen ,
“ Enclosed you will receiw
a specimen of bills which have been
lately printed at Baltimore: upon one
of them are the names of the per; ODI
who have directed the bills to be
printed. Suspicions unfavorable ( 4
this entf rprizo are entertained at tb\»
pjaee, especially on the informatioi
of gentlemen directly from Natchez
who state that no bank or association
of the kind exists at that place.
“ Measures have been taken to
guard the states of Tennessee aid
Louisiana and the Mississippi Terri
tory against the inconveniences to
which the public, in that quarter would
be subjected, if the suspicions of fraud
and imposition which are entertained
of this transaction should be well
founded. To place the citizens of
Georgia on their guard, I have be.
I lievcd it proper that publicity should
| be givfcn to the facts which 1 have
stated, and it may be expedient
that the bills should be disudbuted
! between (be state banks, and that one
j should be placed in the branch bank
| at MilledgeviUe, which will probably
be the avenue through which these
spurious bills will make i heir entrance
into the state.” ' )
• The Dills enclosed us have been
disposed of, agreeable to request—
they consisted of Si. 20, 50 & too,
all handsomely executed, and drawn
ip the following marine:
j ** The President, IHnctms, & Co.
I of the Commercial & Farmer’s Bank

' their joint funds to or bearer on

Cah’r Pres'i”
• The blanks are not filled up. The
words, “ out of their joint funds,”
are, comparatively, in very small
letters—lightly engraved—and would,
(as appears to be intended) after a
little use, become quite illegible. The
precautionary measures which have
been so will no doubt,
supercede the exertions of the “joint
funded” gentry.
Coni Rodgers, President of (he

To Correspondents —Our remark*
upon Win. Cobbett have called
forth the attention of an unknown
Correspondent. But bis carelessness
in writing, and the cavalier manner
with which he treats the usually ac
cepted r ules of or thography, punctu
ation and syntax, compel us to decline
the publication of his essay until these
slight objections are removed. Out

overweening regard for literary eti
