Lieutenant Willson also shot two men who attempted to cut him down as he was boarding on the bow. A steady fire was now kept up by the marines from the boats and corvette, for they were not above ten min utes in boarding and taking her. Lieutenant Hay, of the Talbot, cut her cable, and was towing her out, before the Greeks wffro aware of it. All those who could jumped overboard, and swam ashore. Zacca was among the lat ter.

The pirates ou landing met with no opposi tion from (lie people, who Imd fled on the first shot fired^yTlin pirates had retired to a cofl'ec- liouso on tho beach, and kept up a fire for a short time. On seeing resistance made, we o- pened our after quarters, ami one of our thirty- two pounders carried uway part of the afore said cafe, and 1 regret to add killed a woman and her infant child. Tito firing from the shoro immediately ceased, and captain Speu- ccr instantly ordered tho firing in the boats to cease. On the commencement of tho firing, commodore Hamilton immediately went into his boat to see that no unnecessary slaughter should take plage. Only one man was taken olive, and this was the very man lieutenant Willson cut duwu. He is dangerously wound ed; lie received a dreadful blow across the neck, lie is one of the capitanr and is the greatest villain iu tho whole island. He mur dered Condurioti's father, and several others. No loss than forty distinct murders are laid to his charge. Ten vessels were cut out by the boats, without wounding a single man. Among them is poor Miaulis’s brig. They had taken possession of her after Miaulis left Hydra, and were getting her ready for sea, for the purpose of pirating. Tho brig was returned to poor Miaulis yesterday, and sent to Poros. As soou as we censed firing, a boat shoved off from the shore bearing a flag of truce. Two of the principal capitani enmo on board tho Talbot, and assured captains Hamilton and Spencer that most of the pirates had been put to death by tho populace that morning. This, I be lieve, was false. They said we had killed a- bout fifty people. This, also, was uutrue.— They plodged that if captain Hamilton would wait till the next moining, tho cargoes taken from the English ships should bo forthcoming. This was, of course, agreed to; but the com- snodore sworo that if they trifled with him any longer, he would knock down the whole town. The Talbot was the only ship in the mole: the Glasgow and Cambrian were not able to come up, there being no wind. Tho whole of the vessels were towed out of the harbor in bno hour end ten minutes from tho commencement of the firing. Zacca was reported to have been shot^but this wgs not true, for, on the 2GJi instant, he was at Spczzin, endeavoring to tret some of the Spczziot men of war to come FROM LAGUIRA. New York, April 8. By the schooner Swift, Captain Swift at this port, from Laguira, wc have advices to the 28th March. Bolivar was still at Caraccas. He had sent away his staff and the troops which accompanied him down from Bogota. The Colombian ship of war of 64 guns (for merly the Plato built at Baltimore) sailed about ten days previous, for Carthagcna. A Colom bian sloop of war, Capt. Brown; a French and Danish frigate, was lying at Laguira. The formor was boundto P uerto Cabello for repairs. We have, been favored with the following extract of a letter dated Laguira, the 24th of March. “The gloomy state of this country, at the present time, is beyond description; revolutions are daily taking place throughout the country. Bolivar's arrival has produced a very differ ent effect from what was anticipated; in place of restoring confidence amongst the people, he lias destroyed all; by his order, the stores of many of our most respectable merchants hold double the amount of their debt in Govern ment paper, which they refuse taking at any price.” MISCELLANEOUS. hours after we saw and took eighty animals loaded with provisions for tho Turks. We killed part of tho men who conveyed them, and took the others alive. I have reason to hope that the Turks blockaded in Arachova, will die either by hunger or tile sword bofore two days are passed. “General Karaiscaki desires me to. inform you, gentlemen, that so soon as any thing de cisive takes place he will acquaint you with it. I have tho honor, &c. “Convento Dubl>o, December 3. “NICOLO BURLOSSI.” Then follow two long letters from Karaisca ki, dated five days later, (December 3,) ac quainting them, that ho has taken or destroyed the whole of (lie Turks blockadod in Aracho va, with the addition of eight hundred. It ap pears that the Turks, on the night of the 6th instant, made desperate by hunger, sallied out and endeavored to cut their way through their enemies. Tho Greeks lost few men. The women HCtuully joined in the battle, and pur sued the three hundred who escaped among 1Kr tho mountains. Many of them have been, ta ken and tho rest must dio of hunger. AU the three Boys were killed, aiul their heads, toge ther with fifteen hundred pair of ears, have been sent to tho government. Karaiscaki gives this as his reason:—"Pour que-notre people croit, itfaut qu'il voit." Ho says he 1ms ta ken an immense booty inarms, in money, and one thousand horses. Tho horses ho gives to the government. He has also sent a young Bey with three hundred Turkish prisoners.— This is a glorious victory, sullied by horrid brutality.—Globe, Tho news from Constantinople is most favo- rublo to tho cause of Greece. The victory or Karaiscaki is fully confirraod. This brave general captured from tho enemy twelve hun dred iiorscs and a largo quantity of arms and ammunition. This victory has given tho sig nal of revolt to all the'provinces from Janina, and Agrapha to Mount Olympus. LATEST FROM BUfiNOS AYRES. Wc have obtained the use of files of Buonos Ayres poners to the 3d of January, receiv ed at tllr coffee houso by tho William Wal lace arrived at this port.' From Various articles in thoso papers, it ap pears that tho interior of some of (he Buonos Ayrean provinces, is infested with bands of brigands who lay tho inhabitants of villageS'un der contribution, occasionally commit murders and are guilty of other atrocities. In some of the provinces, tho disturbances have assumed a very serious aspect, particular ly In Tucuman, Santiago y te Rioja, and Ca- tamarca. It is mentioned that “colonel Be- doya was to start from Tucuman with fifteen hundred men under his command for Santiago, nnd a force of fivo hundred men was to march for Gatemarca to reduce tp order tho anarch ists who have invaded the provinces of Cata- marca and Tucuman, without provocation and with tho solo design of causing the people to renounce tho national authorities.” Notice is taken of the movements of large bodios* of tish, their idol or oracle, was unfavorable to his • «• rv I . • 1 li.it advance. Mr* D. obtained permission to try the WhitS man’s Fetish. Being provided with a galvanic battery, he had a fowl killed, which he placed upon the battery, and it per formed the ordinary actions of the bird while it was alive, fluttering and almmost flying away. The natives could not resist the miracle and al lowed him to proceed. This anecdote reminds us of that recorded of Columbus, who found great difficulty in obtaining provisions, &c. for his followers while in the island of Hispaniola. He told the natives that God was angry with them, and that on the morrow the Sun would become red as blood, the stars would shine at noon-day, &c. By his skill in astronomy he had ascertained that an eclipse of the sun was then to take place, and he made use of this expedient, which was entirely successful; the natives crowding around him with abundant supplies, and reverencing him as a demi-god. These two anecdotes illustrate, with great force, the advantage in moral power possessed by the enlightened over the unenlightened— the educated over the uneducated; and go to strengthen the many arguments in favor of a practical scientific education, wherever attain able.—Boston Patriot, •such intended to remain. Mr. Duffey, 0 f JJ Laura, wished the magistrate to place her' his charge, that he might restore her to hern necessity for it; she was a sailor now ther. At this she gave him a look of SUrpi and then remarked to the magistrate she made choice of her present mode of life meant to pursue it. The magistrate disci her.. and attack us. He sworo ho would burn half 1 men in some of the other provinces. i a dozen brulots if he could get them, provid ed ite could but burn the Cambrian. Those threats are of course not attended to. On the 23d, the wholo of the cargoes taken from the three English ships was sunt on board tho ^Cumbrian. It consisted of cheese, tin, cop per, sails, apt) other stores. These wcfe sent on board the corvette to tnke to Smyrna. Tho corvette has eighteen guns on board of differ ent calibre; she is a very fine ship, nearly new, and cost about forty-five thousand dollars. She belonged to the Hydriot primate Conduriotti. On the 26th instant, the Glasgow was sent to Poros to protect the shipping, tho government having sent a despatch to say, that a strong party was forming to taker tho ships out, by force, for pirating. The same morning tho Rose sailed for /Egina, with prince Mavrocor- dato, Miaulis arid the Hydriot primates on board. When we left Hydra on tho 28th in stant, tho Brisk was cruising off Hydra; the Cambrian was at anchor in Garden Bay. Mi aulis was at -lEgina, with his frigate, endeavor ing to man a few men of war to attack tho E- gypfian fleet Poor Miaulis, may ho meet with success! The primates are fast assembling at ■iEgina to form the new government. Mavro- cordato is expected to be mado president.— Just before we got under weigh, the govern- Tho files of papers being incomplete, wo cannot giv$ a connected view of the events in the interior; but wc gather ftom various disconnected’ articles, that dissatisfaction with the levies made for iho army, has induced in dividuals to form themselves <n'o bands of bri gands in some of the provinces, while the more serious disturbances u the other provin ces originate in dissatisfaction with the consti tution. Since writing the above, Mr. Sanderson has put into our hands another file of the Buenos Ayrean papers, extending to the 22d of Janu ary. One of these paperscontams an account of an action fought between the Buenos Ay rean and Brazilian squadrons at the puss of the island of Martin Garcia. Considerable im portance is attached to tho result of this ac tion, as it enables the Buenos Avreans t<J command tho principal pass by water to tho interior; but tho battle, though it lasted threo quarters of an hour, does not appear to have been a very bloody one. One of tho artiller ists of tho Buenos Ayrcans was wounded, and their vessel, the Sarandi, received five shots in the hull. “Without doubt,” the account adds, “the enemy has suffered much, particularly the corvette, and tho brig which lost ono of her masts."—Philadelphia .Gazette, 3d instant. HORRIBLE TRANSACTION. A letter from Granada contains the follow ing accouut of a most extraordinary and horri ble event, which has takqn place in that an cient capital of the Moors.- On the i8tli of December last, the Feast of die Conception, a church appertaining to a covenant of the Nuns at Granada, was filled as usual, with a crowd of the faithful at high mass. After the ceremo ny, the crowd disappeared, and the only per sons who lingered in the church were two cav alry officers. They.also were in tho act of retiring, when n nun, who had remained be hind the rest of the sisterhood, made a sign to the officer who was following his comrade, that site wished to speak to hint. He accordingly told his comrade, to wait for hint, nnd returned to speak with the nun, when the following dia logue took place: “You are a man of honour and discretion, I presume, sir?” “Yes sister, I am both the one and the other.” “Are you willing to render mo an important service?”— “Yes sister.” “I will not conceal from you that the service I require at your hands, -re quires not only discretion, but extraordinary in trepidity; knowing this, are you still willing to render me the service I require of you?” “Yes sister I am determined.” “Very well, when you hear the convent bell strike half past twelve at nigh:, he at such a gate [particulariz ing the gate]—1 skill be at the other side to o- pon it, on your knocking twice, aud you shall thon learn, what it is I require of you. ' Will you be faithful to the rendezvous?” “Yes sis ter, I shall be there.” “Weil, I depend on you—adieu.” They parted and the officer quitted the church. On rejoining his comrade he told h rn what iiad taken place, aud asked him if he should keep, his appointment. The other on being informed that the nun was about thirty, and not ill-formed, advised him to keep his ap pointment, and offered, for fear of accidents, to accompany him to the gate, at which the nun was to be. Accordingly at the appointed hour the two officers were at the gate, which on the concerted signal being given, was open ed by tho nun. The chosen officer entered, and the other remained quite closo to the gate, to watch the conclusion of this extraordinary adventure. Tho nun said to the officer who entered, “You are a man of courage and hon our, and are entitled to my utmost gratitude.” The night being very dark, and the passsages through which they had to go obscure, the nun mado him hold a corner of her robe, and in this manner conducted him to hor cell, whore there was a lamp u-Jight. She made him sit down, and invited him to take a glass of liquor with her, at the same time producing two hot ties. She filled him a glass out of one, and took a little herself out of the other. After he had emptied his glass, she told him to go to one side of the bed, while she placed herself at the other. The officer obeyed. Tho nun then said “wo are alone—rtny door is fastonod—look!”—and at the sarao moment sho proceeded to puli’ down tho bed., clothes, and discovered to his great horror and amazement, the dead body of a monk who had been poniarded. Tho nun then continued—.“you must take upon your shoulders this body ond carry it outside the con vent—I will light you to the gate of the first esurt. You roust instantly obey, or you aro a dead man, for the first motion you make unless it be to take up tho dead body, I will shoot you through .the head;” and suiting the action to the word, she drew .a pistol from her bosom, and presented it at him. “I know, said she, that my own life will bo the forfeit if you re fuse—for after shooting you I have another pistol for myself.” The officer seeing no otb* cj means of escape, took up the body on his shoulders and accompanied tho nun, who car ried a dark lantern, proceeded’to tho gate by which he had entered, and on issuing from it, threw his Irorrid burden at tho feet of his com rade, wltp was waiting to -laugh with him at what ho supposed was a pious lovo intrigue.— After recounting to his friend the almost in credible odventuro in which he had been en gaged, thoy both resolved to repair instantly to the Corregidor, and inform him of tho cir cumstances. They had proceeded scarcely a hundred paces from tho convent,when the officer who had brought out J^o body, suddenly com plained of the most excruciating and burning pains in the stomach; he soon after fell upon the pavements,-and in a few moments expired. His friend beside himself with terror, ran with the utmost speed toknockup the Corregidor,and inform him of this tissuo of horrors. Notwith standing the exertions of the magistrates and tho police, no discovery has yet been made of the female demon who has perpetrated this double murder.—Paris Paper, Jan, 10. NURSERY DISEASES. “Practical Observations on the Convulsions of Infants, by John North, Member of the Royal College of Sufgeons, ,Vc.” Wo do not very often review Medical Works, but Mr. North’s Book is one of such obvious utility, that wo can feel no hesitation in recommending it to general perusal. Pos sessing all that scientific knowledge which is re quisite to give his observations value, this gen tleman has, further, the happy talent of convey ing them to his readers witli such clearness, that the most ignorant nurse can have no diffi culty in comprehending him, and this, as the work especially tends to the instruction of those who undertake that lowly, but not unim portant office, constitutes no slight recommen dation in its favour. We cannot follow him through his details.— A useful hint or two, by way of specimen, will suffice to shew the value of Mr. North’s obser vations. “Many nurses and mothers are in the habit of suddenly rousing children from their sleep and carrying them from a room comparatively dark into a glare of light. Such a custom is decidedly improper. A child should bo grad ually and gently awakened. Much mo mentary excitement is produced even in the adult by being roused suddenly from sleep; and there can be no doubt, that children become in consequence of such imprudence, more liable to convulsive affections. Mon taigne, we aro told, always contrived to break the slumbers of his infant son by tho gradual sound of a soft musical instrttmont. The idea was happy, although its general adoption would be attended with some difficulty.” Tho importance of temperance in a nurse he strongly- insists upon. “A predisposition to convulsive affections in children may bo originally produced iu con sequence of their being suckled by a nurse ad dicted to the frequent use of spiritous liquors. In several instances I lmve known children rapidly recover their health when the nurse was changed, who had exhibited most of the premonitory symptoms of convulsions, while they were suckled by a woman who indulged in the common vice of gin-drinking. “Violent emotions of mind, or excessive bodily fatigue, should be avoided by nurses.— Mr. Gilbert relate? the case of a child, who died of convulsions after having sucked a nurse, who had been exposed to hard labour under a burning sun. Boerhaave knew some instances in which epilepsy was produced in consequence of their nurses having had violent fits of passion. Beaumes remarks, that ho was informed by one of his professional brethren, that his child died suddenly a of convulsions af ter haying been suckled by a woman who had (jfen violently exasperated.”—London Cou rter." Ingenious Expedient.—Mr. Dickson, one of the English gentlemen engaged in making dis coveries in the interior of Africa, was detained William Brown, the Sailor.—Tho London Chronicle of the 17th February contains a long account of an arrest on board tho Commerce steam-packet, at the moment sho was about starting for Dublin, of a female who was dress ed in sailor’s clothes and passed by the name of William Brown. Tho officers, who took her in custody, acted from information of the disguiso, which thoy supposed might have been done to conceal some theft. Tho sailor was conveyed to prison. From some inquiries tho huuso where Brown lodged was discovered, the proprietor of which referred the officers to the master of tho brig Laura, of New York, as knowing all about hor. Her story, as well as could be collected, appears to be as follows:— Her father is a merchant in London. About threo years ago, she left his house to follow her lover who was tho mate ofa vessel in tho North American trade, and hearing he had sailed for St. John’s, sho ccmo to Liverpool, and took passage for that port. On arriving at St. John’s, sho discovered the vessel had gone to Quebec, thither she went, and there learnt that her lov er was drowned on his passage up the St. Law rence.—Sho immediately determined to be come a sailor for his sake, and assuming tho garb of n man, engaged as cook and steward to the master of a vessel for London, with whom she remained upwards of twclvo months. The next vessel she joined, and in which she also served upwards of twelve months, some weeks back, brought hor to Livorpool, but the mas ter, suspecting her sex, oxtortod from her the secret, and wished her to remain with him, but sho would not consent, and she was atout to proceed to Ireland. While in prison, sho said her namo was Selina Augusta Hamilton. She is said to bo a complete sailor, taking her grog and using tobacco like tars. Sho states that she will have four thousand pounds at her dis posal when sho comes of age, (she is not yet nineteen) and intends to equip a vessel und take command. Sho was brought up for exa mination on tho 16th February at the Town Hall, when it appoarod that hor arrest was caused by tho captain of tho Laura. The girl refused to toll tho magistrate, alderman Bourne, ANECDOTE OF THOMAS PAI*£ I One very warm evening about twenty y e , ago, passing the house where Thomas 1 311 the lower window was open, and seeing u sitting close by, and being on speaking te f Vi| stepped in for a half hour’s chat; seven or ey! of his friends were also present, whose dojw and his own, he was laboring to remove Cj long talk about the story of Joshua comnuLl ing the sun and moon to stand still, & c ,, concluded by denouncing the Bible as the «{ of books, and that it had occasioned mitten, chief and bloodshed than any book everpri m —and was believed only by fools and design,^ knaves, &c.
