Caps. Croßer of the fast sailing
and regular trading ship Ann, lias ar
r ived at this port, in 39 days from
Liverpool, from whence she sailed on
the Ist of June.
By this arrival Use editors of the
Mercantile Advertiser have received
Ijondon papers and Lloyd’s of the
30th of May, from which the follow
ing extracts are made:
LONDON, MAY 30.
Yesterday a common council was |
held at Guildhall, pursuant to a «u
meroitsiy signed requisition, for the
purpose of preparing a petition to both
houses of Parliament, against a re
newal of the Habeas Corpus Suspen
sion Bill. The common council was
most numerously attended, and Mr. i
Wailhinan presented a petition, and
the three following resolutions, which
were carried by a very large majority:
“That this court having learnt with
feelings of (lie deepest regret and a
larm, (ha. 4 bfs majesty’s ministers, at
this period of internal and external
tranquility, have avowed their inten
tion of proposing to parliament the
further suspension of the habeas cor
pus, by which the personal liberties
of ail the people of this empire are to
be again placed, without responsibii
ily or controul, at (lie mercy of the
ministers of the crown. 0
“That, in their opinion, this mea
sure can only be necessary to stifle
the just complaints of a suffering peo
ple—to protect, abuses, and «ro«i.dc
liuqiiiucy; that it is part of a system
to undermine and destroy the liberties
of the people, and use (heir means to
establish an arbitrary and despotic
government.”
“Thai petitions be presented to !
both houses of parliament, praying
them to reject all attempts to couth- I
into the suspension of the habeas cor- |
pus, and other encroachments upon
the liberties of the people, and to a
dopt such measures for the effectual
reform ol* abuses, us may allay (he
public fears and apprehensions, re
move grievances, and best conduce to
the safely, honour, happiness, and
prosperity of the crown and people.”
It was reported on Change yester
day morning, that government had
given orders for the immediate e
quipment of six sail of the line and
l % frigates, destined for South-Ame
rica.
It is said that something of an Un
pleasant nature hud happened between
the Portuguese government and lord
Beresford, and that the Marshal re
turns to England in disgust.
The Loudon Traveller of the 50th
of May, states, “that from the Ist to
thelSib of May, not less than 3517
emigrants, men, women and children
passed Mayencc, on their way down
the Rhine, with the intention of pro
ceeding to America.”
Extract of a letter dated Liverpool,
May 13,
“ After we had seut our letter off
of yesterday, there was a brisk,dc- j
mand for flour, and 50UU barrels were
sold at 71 a 755. To day (here has
been a f urther advance, 500 barrels,
having been sold at 76, and some at
77; and holders refuse to sell any mure
at this latter price, 78s* being gene
rally asked; 36 has been refused for
rice, and 40 is now asked.”

A treaty has been on foot for some
time beiwen'Mr. Kean, of Drury-lane i
theatre, and Mr. Holman, the mana- j
ger of an American theatre, for Mr. !
Kean’s performance for one year in j
the United States. The only point 1
nut settled is the security—Mr. Kean

secured in a bank house in this city.

We learn from Rome, by letters to
the sth of this month, (hat ihe arrival
of a Spanish courier bringing dis
patches from his majesty king
Charles IV. and from the Spanish
ambassador, gave rise oo the evening
of that day to a succession of reports.
It is believed (hat negotiations of the
highest Interest are carrying on be
tween Charles IV. and Ferdinand VII.
FROM THE bPAMoU MAIN.
Captain Snow, of the Blazing-Star,
in I 9 days from Laguira, informs, an
expedition of 3000 troops arrived at
Cumanaon the (he 18tb May from
Cadiz—and a few days after landing
they were joined to the forces of gene
ral Morillo, who sat out from that
place for (he coast of Pavia with all
the troops, keaviog only a small gari
son in the town, of about SO men. On
the 6th June, he marched with about
1500 net to Aha golf of Cari»co, (he
remainder bad embarked on board of
the shipping to join Kim at the'small
town of Corunna; and after clearing
the coast of the difierent hands of in
surgents, intended'to attack the island
of Margaretta.
The patriot general Bolivar had
reached St. Fernando de Apura, with
about 1200 men; and it was generally
supposed he would form a junction
with general Piar, near the city of
Wew-Auguslura, with a view of at
tacking the place which would inevit
ably fall* as the principal army ot
the royalists was completely cut to
f»ieces about the 20th April
ast. 7Je seat of war is transferred
to OrodWo, where the patriots had
gained several trifling advantages.
General Marino, who had besieged
Cumana for some time, retired to
Guary, a small town, in the* gulf of
Paria; but tvould no doubt leave that
(own, on the approach oi Morillo. All
kind of produce high at La Guira—
coffee could not be had at any price.

President, capt. Swain, three months
from the Pacific Ocean, By her, (he
owners of the Minerva have received
a letter from captain Chase, on the
coast of Chili, dated March 10,1817,
stating, that the ship Charles Wey
ftmnih, ond Hero, (were hoarded near
the island of St. Marys, from a roy
alist gun-boat, from Conception, (he
captain of which informed them he
was sent out for (he express purpose
of inviting all (he American ships to
enter that port, stating that they da -
iy expected an attack from the patri
| ois of Buenos AyresJ that two large
: armies had crossed the Cordilierics,
one was near Sam iago,the other daily
expected at Conception; and if the
American ships did not come in to
their assistance, they would be con
sidered as enemies to the royalists.-
The captains of (he whalers conclud
ed (he royalists wished to detain their
ships fora retreat to Lima, for (he
safety of their persons and most val
uable effects,
Capt. Swain of the President, says, j
the Vvlmleships will not go in, but will i
keep clear of both sides as far as in |
their power. It was their opinion »he
captain of the gun-boat had orders to 1
bring them in for the above purpose,
but their being so many ships in com- j
pany, was afraid to undertake it.
Captain Swain reports a severe bat- I
tie fought near Santiago, and every
man was either killed or taken pri
soner.
The patriots took Valparaiso 15th
March—captain Swain left the coast

Extract of a letter from Pernambuco,
dated May 2bth , to a gentleman in
j Philadelphia,
“Since iriy last by the way of St.
Barts, I have done nothing of business
as nearly all the inhabitants deserted
the city, which „of course caused a
total stagnation of business. The
port was blockaded without, and an
embargo within, which left me no
alternative but to wait till a change
of affairs.
On (he 18th of this month the pa
triots abandoned the city and fled in
; ail directions, some of their leaders
hanging themselves and others shoot
ing themselves; and the same day the
fortifications were taken possession
1 of by the inhabitants; or rather the
, Portuguese sailors from the mer
joh ant s’ships in the harbour. A scene
of great confusion took place; but
fortunately no lives were lost. Af
ter the admiral of the fleet came on
shore, some kind of order was re
stored. Nothing of business has been
done since, nor will be for 6 or 7
days to come, as there will be days of
fasting and rejoicing at the downfall
of the patriots.

By the recent arrivals from Havana,
we learn with regret that the mortal
ity has been great among the shipping
and that it still continued to be very
sickly.
Further reports are in circulation
from Havana, relative to the cession
of the Floridas to the United States,
which represent it as a fact of which
there can be no doubt.

The Slavery o f the Christians (It
Algiers.
In i letter to a member of Parlia
ment, by Walter Croker, Esq. of the
Royal Navy, published io London,
1816, there Is the following descrip
tion of the horrible treatment of the
Christian slaves by the Algerine pi
rates :-*•
“ The bank or bagnio, which is in
one of the narrow streets of Algiers,
has nothing remarkable in its outsit-’
appearance; but, inside, It is the most
remarkable house of misery, imagin
ation can conceive. On entering the
gate, there is a small square yard for
the slaves to walk about in; (here
they are, on every Friday, locked up,
and, as they do not wnrk on that day,
they .are allowed nothing but water
from the Algerine government. We
then ascended a stone stair-ease, and,
round the galleries, were rooms with
naked earthen floors and damp stone
walls. They have an iron grated
window and a strong door; two of
these rooms have, iu each of them,
twenty-four things, like cot frames,
with twigs interwoven iu (he middle.
These are hung up, one above ano
ther, round the room, and those slaves,
who arc able to pay for (he luxury of
such a bed, are alone admitted.”
** I am happy in wanting a compa
rison, in any part of the world where
I have been, ! » (his abominable pri
son, those deadly cells; but, if
they had a little mdTe light, 1 think
(hey would most resemble a house
where the negroes of the West India
islands keep their jiigs. I must add,
that the pestilential smell made Mr.
Stanbury so 111 that he nearly fainted;
and Dr. McConnell and myself were
not much less affected.”
“ The food of the slaves consists of
two black loaves of half a pound each,
which is their daily bread ; neither
meat hor vegetables do they ever
taste, those excepted who work at
the Marino, who get two olives per
day with (heir bread, and dthers at
the Spanish hospital, which the Span
ish government to this day support, as
well perhaps as It is able. In visiting
this hospital, the floors of which Were
covered with unhappy beings of every
age and either sex, I saw some men
who looked almost sixty, and some
children who could not he more than
eight years old; the whole of (hem
i had their legs swelled and cut in such
I a horrid manner, that we all thought j
they could not recover. There also
we saw some young Sicilian girls, j
and some women. One poor woman |
, burst into tears; told us she was the
j mother of eight children, and desired
! us to look at six of (hem, who had
been slaves with her for thirteen
years. We left these scenes of hor
ror, and, io going into the country, 1
met the slaves returning from their I
labor. The clang of the chains ofl
those who were heavily ironed, called J
my attention to their extreme fatigue j
and dejection; they are attended by
Infidels with large whips.”
There is now a cheering prospect
that within a few coming years, the !
dens of the Barbary pirates will be all j
broken up, or, at the least, that an ■
entire stop will be put to their infer
nal piracies, which, through the riv
alries and jealousies of the great Eu
ropean powers, have till lately been in I
a manner licensed for many ages.—
Nor is it a little gratifying that the
American navy did first set the exam
ple in this glorious work.”

CORSETS.
“The bosom, which nature has form
ed wiih exquisite symmetry iu itself,
and admirable adaption to the parts
of the figure to which it is united, has
been transformed into a shape, and
transplanted to a place, wi;ich de
prives it of Its original beauty and
harmony with the rest of the person
This hideous metamorphose has been
effected by means of new invented
stays or corsets, which, by an extra
ordinary construction and force of
material, force the figure of the wear*
er into whatever form the artist
pleases. < *
“A vile taste in (he contriver, and
as stupid an approval by a large ma
jority of women, have brought this
monstrous distortion into a kind of
fashion; and in consequence we see,
in eight women out of ten, the hips
squeezed iulo a circumference little
more than the waist; and the bosom
shoved up to the chin, making a sort
ol fleshy shelf, disgusting to the be
holders, and certainly most incommo
dious to the bearer.
“Curiosity may incline you to know
something of these buckram ma
chines? that you may form an idea of
their intention, use, or, rather inuli

opposite sex. The pure must read i
with the frown of disgust, the impun

by the advertisement) I cannot an
prove the terms in which it is written

happy as to be supported in it by tit

and you take from -her one of the he

ers, I will still farther displease mj

into a detail of these strange appci
dages to the female wardrobe.
“ But before 1 proceed with my n
marks on the long stay , (die ring
leader of the rest.) 1 will so far res
cue the intention of its constructor
from any design to excite imprope
ideas by the words of their advertise
ment, as to explain to you the pro
posed usefulness of the inventions dt
nominated pregnant stay & divorces
“The first is a corset or stay of d

constructed as to compress and re

of their pregnancy, affirm that it pre
I serves the shape without injury n
' their state of increase. Howerei
j this may be with a few hardy iudivi
duals, I profess myself no proselyte
to this'innovation; as it must nces
sarily put a degree of restraint upoi
I (he operations of nature, very likel]
I to produce bad effects both on ibi
mother and child.
•‘Support and confinement to an o
restrained part are two diffem
things; the one is beneficial, the o
ther destructive. And this I can as
sure my readers, that I ever have re
marked that those married wouiei
who have longest maintained their vir
gin foi’ms were those who, in a stale
of maternal increase, observed apm
per medium between a too relaxet
and a too contracted boddice.
