SHIPWRECK.
A gentleman From Cape May has stated to us,
(says the Philadelphia Freeman’s Journal, of the
16xh inst.) that two or three weeks since, a ves
sel bound from Philadelphia to Savannah, landed
at Cape May a seaman in a very emaciated state,
whom they had picked up m a boat outside the
Capes. The boat contained besides, the corpses
of 2 men, who had died from starvation. The
vessel to which these three men belonged, was
a sloop, (our informant believes, but is not cer
tain, that her name was the Republican,) bound
from Boston to Savannah, which foundered in
h e Gulf, and all on board perished at the time,
except the three who got in the boat, two of
whom, as stated above, afterwards died from
starvation. Our informant did not recollect the
name of the Philadelphia vessel that picked up
the boat. If any vessel of the above descrip
tion Is missing, no doubt particular information
cafTbe'cTeriVed by applying to the postmaster at
Cape May.
Another Shipw~*ck- —The brig Aid, Nedrum,
from Smyrna, bound to New-York, with a cargo
of wine and fruit, was driven ashore at the hook,
on the morning of the 14th inst. and in two
hours was totally destroyed. No lives lost—car
gp principally saved.
Another distressing fire has been experienced
at St. John’s, s. b on the 11th ult. and 135 dwel
ling-houses and stores were burnt down into
ashes! About a week previous they had a simi.
lar fire, an account of which we published on
the 2d instant.
Counterfeiters. —On the 11th instant, two per
sons, Thomas Steward, formerly of the Boston
circus, and Nathaniel Whetmore, who has some
time been suspected of being engaged in the
business, have been apprehended, and commit
ted to prison, in Albany, N. York, for having in
their possession .and attempting to pass, coun
terfeit money, the bills found upon Whelmore
amounted to cents.—The following is
a list of them:

Abstract of a letter from Civerf/onl, dated 25 th Oct
“ During the last three weeks, the prevalence
of easterly winds has been such that not one
vessel has entered any river, though numbers
arc known to be beating about in the channel.
For the relief of those which, in consequence of
this unexpected delay, may have fallen short in
their provisions, our government has ordered
out cruisers to supply ail those who aie thus
(ii cum si •need.”

I so twists* were poisoned by fating • species
of pea, that grows upon the common in this city,
and died from twenty to thirty-six hours after.
The weed is about five feet high, bears a yellow
flower and produces apod about five inches
long ; which contains the poisonous pea.
The symptoms of this disease are similar to
those of blind-staggers, or apoplexy. The horse
appears to be Hind, tretmblcs. and is not inclin
ed to change his position : the pain appears to
be confined to the head and stomtjeh. Upon
dissection, the stomach and'pylorus, were found
in a high state of inflammation, and contained
three or four quarts of the peas in an indigested
state. One of the horses lived about three hours,
and the other about nine, after the first appear
ance of disease.
The schooner Zephyr, Hibbert, has arri
ved at Boston in 48 days from Gibraltar.
Capt. H. states that the whole of the Ameri
can squadron was at Gibraltar, with the
exception of the frigate Constellation, which
sailed the same day for Malaga, for water,
and thence for the U. States.
A society has been established in Phila
delphia for the purpose of supplying the
great want of Prayer Books, which exists
among most of the episcopal congregations
throughout that and several other states.—
The secretary of the society observes: “Let
those who profess themselvesepiscopalians,
remember that the book of common prayer
is absolutely necessary in the enlargement
of their own commtmiqp, and let them
shew how much they value the peculiar
principles ot their church by. contributing
to the support of the Common Prayer Book
Society.”
We have been favored with Gibraltar
papers to the 22d of October, which furnish
some further particulars of the late Revolu
tion at Algiers. When the janisaries sur
rounded the palace of the dey, he called to
his assistance the officers of his artillery
and navy, but they declined interfering.
The dey then demanded of the janisaries
what they wanted; they replieiL‘an indi
vidual from within.” Anxious to preserve
his life by any sacrifice, he offered to double
the pay of the whole corps; but this was
rejected, and his person loudly called for.
His firmness now forsook him, and he had
recourse to poison ; its operation, however,
was ndt sufficiently quick, and the janisar
ies entering, seized and bound him, and
conducted him to the spot appropriated
for public executions, where they strangled
him. They then quietly returned to their
homes; all this passed in about an hour
from their first assembling.
The public opinion was much in favour
of the new dey Ali Cogia—the ministers of
his predecessors have been banished, into
the interior, and their property confiiscated.
It is stated that the Algerine squadron,
consisting of a polacre corvette, three brigs,
and two schooners sailed on the 28th Sept,
supposed with an intention of cruizing off
cape St. Vincents, for vessels under Prus
sian and Hamburg flags ; and, there was
little doubt of their haying the plague on
board. The plague continued at Algiers,
the daily number of deaths being about 50—
sometimes more—it had spread to several
villages in the interior.
N. Y. Mer. Adv.
We are happy to be informed, from un
questionable authority, that in addition to
the numerous marks of distinction already
conferred upon our learned fellow-citizen,
doctor S. L. Mitchell, the royal medical
society of Copenhagen have elected him
an honorary member of that institution.
He is, we believe, the first American who
has ever received that compliment.

The documents respecting affairs at
Amelia Island and Galvezton were yester
day transmitted to the house of represen
tatives by the president. Consisting of a
voluminous compilation of correspondence
from officers of government and others in
the neighborhood of those depots, the papers
were not read, but ordered to be printed.
They shall be laid before our readers as ear
ly as practicable. They afford, in a more
authentic shape, judging from a hasty glance
at them, information of nearly the same
as that already received by the public
through the medium of the newspapers.

CONGRESS.
FROM THE VIRGINIA PATRIOT.
From our correspondent at Washington,
Wednesday 1 7th Dec.
A resolution touching an alteration of
the flag of the U. S. was yesterday passed
in the house of representatives. And mr.
Bassett offered a resolution fixing the com
pensation to the members of congress (un
, til further order to the contrary) at the
same it was in the year 1813. Bat the
house refused to take it into consideration.
The consideration of the commutation
bill was then resumed in a committee of the
whole, when the very same objections that
occupied the house the day before gave rise
to a long uninteresting desultory discus
sion. On the part of those who were oppo
sed to the bill, it was, as before, contended
that the bill would never answer the pur
poses for which it was designed—that it
was vain to hope it could be so constructed
as to prevent speculators from being the on
ly gainers by it—That the purchasers
would easily evade every provision hostile
to their view’s—that it would throw open
the doors of the treasury to a set of shar
pen, ann enable them at once to dram-ear
coffers and to fleece the poor soldiers, to
whom, so far from being beneficial, the
measure would be injurious—That if they
were let to go to market with their patents
in their hands, they would be now able to
get as much for their land as their bill of
fered them. That the house was legisla
ting to no possible useful effect, because
they were legislating for improvident men,
who could not apply property to any good
purpose, but were eager to divest them
selves of it without its doing them any sub
stantial good. That if from idleness or im
providence they were incapable of availing
themselves of the advantages ot good land,
which by the way, was the ground of the
fill, how could it be hoped that they would
make a good use ot the money they were to
get for it. That the money they received
or bounty, whichw’asa considerable sum
for men in their situation, had been of no
use to thm, unless it could be said to be of
use in administering intemper
ance ; that their pay, which was much great
er than any troops in Europe received, was 1
avished away in like manner from all
which it was fair to conclude that if the
bill passed, and the large sums it proposed
to appropriate were issued from the treas
ury into their possession* it would vanish
like the rest, & do them no substantial good.
That it appeared from the report on the
table, that the sum to be advanced on this
project could not be defrayed by the sale
of the lands in less than twelve years—
that it would after all, place the govern
ment themselves in the situation of specu
lators, and that it was not very consistent
with the dignity of the union to be purcha
sing back its bounty from its own soldiers,
and then selling it w’ith a view to profit.—
Nor was this the whole. It was questioned
whether any tiling was due from the nation
to the soldiers on the score of justice, as
had been insinuated—that very many of
them had received extravagant bounty in
money, greater than ever was before given
to soldiers, and very high pay, and bounty
in lands also, and had done little or nothing
for it. That if the house were particularly
desirous to do an extraordinary act of be
neficence, the officers who received no boun
ty, and supplied themselves with equip
ments at their own expense, were the most
proper objects for its exercise—and lastly,
it was observed that gentlemen who in ar
guments in favor of those grants of bounty
lands to the soldiers vehemently urged the
good policy and advantage of establishing
them in farms on the frontiers, were now
among the advocates of the intended com
mutation, and of buying those very lands
from them.
On the other hand it was insisted that
government could not be a loser by the bill,
that the speculators could not be gainers
by it, and that the soldier would be benefit
ed by it, not only without injury, but with
benefit to the finances—And finally it was
recommended to inr. Holmes to withdraw
his motion ol the day before for striking
out the first section. Among the advocates
of the measure, mr. Clay stood prominent
for his exertions, and produced anew bill,
which ho had prepared to supply the place
, ot the. present one, if by the cancelling ol
(he first section it should be lost—-At least,
at a late hour mr. Serjeant announcing it to
’ be his intention to propose pensions for tile
’ iu commutation liar the bounty lam!, the
rmmnittee rose, reported piOgicsi,and oil

Little has been done in ashes of late. Buyers
have kept aloof, under the impression that pri
ces would recede, when the imports came in
freely—at present the demand is almost suspen
ded.
Bark sells slowly.
The demand for Cotton has been dull for the
last few weeks. 1800 bales have arrived within
tw o days, and the market is consequently at a
stand. We do not anticipate any material de
cline ; conceiving that the orders lately received
for manufactured goods will counteract the ef
fect of those arrivals.
Tar is steady, although not much business is
doing.
The sales of Turpentine are rather limited, yet
the stock being small, prices keep their ground.
Rice is in brisk request and likely to be higher.
Staves and Timber are improving.
Tobacco in fair demand—prices remain sta
tionary.
In our Corn market the proceedings have of
late been trivial—prices do notvary much.

TOBACCO.—There have been several sales

OlLS.—There continues to be great fluctua

21. a 31. below our quotations, but the market is
again on the advance, on account of the scarcity ;
every other description is a shade lower than the
prices obtained first of tfie week.
TALLOW.—There have been extensive pur
chases of tallow • the prices have advanced 2s a

account of the limited quantity in London; for
yellow candle our quotation is the latest realiz
