Nothing certain was known in regard to the formation of anew ministry, hut the Times oi the 16th, stales that the following arrange ments are in contemplation : ’ Sir John Copely to be Lo. - d Chancellor. Lord Granville Foreign Secretaiv. Mr. Robinson, (with a Peerage,) Colonial Secretary. Mr iluskisson, Home Secretary, (this is not Certain.) Lords Dudley and Ward, Privy S< al Lord Carlisle, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. Duke of Devonshire, Lord Chamberlain, (not certain.) Marquis of Anglesea, Master of the Ord nance. l,ord Bexley is allowed to comeback to the Cabinet. The new title of Mr. Robinson is Lord Stai beam. The Marquis of Londonderry resigned his embas-y to Vienna on hearing of Mr Can ning's appointment. It is rumoured that the M .rquis has writtin a very indolent letter to the king. Other resignations have take. pl-.ce—among them, it is reported, is the Attorney Genera?# Oue, paper says it is believed the Duke ol Cambri.de will be appointed Commander-in- Chief—Another states that the Marquis ol Anglesea has been offered the post. The Duke ol Clarence has been appointed Lord High A lmira], and will be assisted by the whole Board of Admiralty, with the excep tion’of Lord Melville. YVe lock at the ap pointment as a prompt and decisive ev. dence cfthe course w hich his majesty is de termined to pursue in the present crisis,& as an evidence that he will not permit the interests of the country to suffer from tin attempt w hich has been maije to thwart and embarrass his government. — -Tunes. On Saturday, ttie Duke of Wellington re signed as commander in chief, and as master of the ordnance. Viscount Granville, Mr. Huskisson, Sir Charles Stewart, Viscount Palmrrton, &l Lord Seaford had interviews with Mr Canning on Saturday. Earl Bathurst withdrew a number of papers from the Colonial Otlice. It is said his majesty received the resigna tion ol the seceders with a tone and manner so decisive, that more than one repented In had not doubted before tendering so fatal ai off r. Lord Bexley is said to have recalled his, and Mr. Peel it was rumored, would proba bly be open to explanation. The kmg, according to our best advices, appers to have been justly indignant at the moral conspiracy among those lie trusted, and to have resolutely resolved that no difficulty should make him again take to his confidence men who, from personal hate to a highly gitted individual, could take steps by which the goveriun lit ol the country, himself, and hi' really -tcadfast servants were embarrassed, and the affairs ol the kingdi m thrown into con fusion. Farther, as regards the list of Mr. Canning, nothing is yet known: but the pub lic mind is decidedly in favor of the measures ad' pted by the sovereign. We regret, says the Times, to hear that a negociation which had been commenced by Mr. Canning with Lord Lansdown, has broken off with the impossibility of emancipation be ing made a Cabinet question against a declar ed Royal wish ; and further Ireland is stillte reap a few of the comforts of a divided gov ernvent. If, however, Mr. Plunkett be imme diately named Lord Chanceller of that coun try, one positive good will have been fixed be yond the reach of fortune. ’Die same paper says, Lord Manners is re ported to have sent in his resignation some short time ago —more lately still has the Rt. Hon. Secretary made the s*me amende to Ire land. Now, if Mr. Canning be anxious to satisfy the Irish nation that their good fortune is not a dream—that they have really shaken off the Orange nightmare, that law be tween rich &. poor,Protestant & Catholic.is nev er gain to become a mercenary & remorseless ally of the strong against the weak, tbc minis ter will in the very first gazette announce the appointment of anew Lord Chancellor, and of a Secretary lb whose disposition to govern fairly, a suspicious 6i irritable, because an ill used people, may confide. Although a change in the person of the Lord Lieuten ant cannot be required on similar grounds to those which have rendered Mr. Goulburn’* dismissal unavoi lable, it is, we are told, re ported and we should not be serry to find it true, that the Marquis Wellesley will be re called from Ireland, and that Lord Carlisle will succeed him. Corn Bill. -w— lt appears that the warehous ing of corn is to he permitted under the new Act, and that the duty is to be levied accord ing to the price in the home market, not at the date of importation, but at the time when the corn is taken out for consumption. This arrangement was strongly objected to "by the agriculturalists; hut it was justly observed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that if a dif ferent lule were adopted, th l effect would be to transfer the freighting and warehousing to the Dutch in w hose hands the corn would still he within 1 or 2 days sail of our own market. A clause was proposed by Mr Grant, and a greed to, giving the Privy Council the privi lege of prohibiting the importation of gram 'rom foreign countries, which impose heavier duties on our shipping than the ships of the countries in question are subject to in British ports. This, we imagine; was meant as a boon ii the shipping interests. A letter from Paris states that Spain still oersists in her tolly with regard to pro jects lor invading South America, and it is as s rted that the E voy Extraordinary has been commanded to make known to the British and French governments that it is the intention of 'he cabinet ot Madrid to send an expedition 4%inst Mexico, to establish the infant Francis co de Paula as overeign. It was justly doubt ed whether the English and Frencn cabinets would concur in the measure. It is now doubted whether the Portuguese Chiefs have ever been sent to the frontier, and u is certain that they had not passed it on the 3d inst It is even report'd that Silvana and Chaves have re-ent( red Portugal, hut by dit* •erent routes, and if the accounts are to be be leved. a uew attempt will be made on Alen tejo.

Perhaps those victories, and the intercession ofthe British Minister may have some effect in the brute—he is represented as such. In hopes that my next letter may be more favorable, I remain with esteem. From the AFew-York American. COLOMBIA. We received yesterday, by the way of Phil adelphia, letters from La Guayra of the 14th ult. and it may, perhaps, be taken as no equiv ocal indication of the alarm prevalent in that country, that our correspondents no .longer Mgn their letters, from an apprehension, that any free expression of opinion concerning the affairs of Colombia, if traced to them, might be attended with danger to the writers. The handwriting, however, we know, and as the information derived from the same source on previous occasions, has uniformly proved au thentic, we confide as entirely in that dow an onymously communicated, as though it were vouched with a name—and it is, we are sorry to say very discouraging. At Bogota there is said to have occurred—if not a revolution— some most decided manifestations of opposi tion to the measures of Simon /., as one of our correspondents calls Bolivar. Meantime very strict measures are taken hv 80l var, to pre vent insubordination in Colombia. A procla mation was received on the 14th April in La Guayra. requiring all foreigners arriving in that country, to behave themselves and in case of anv infraction of the laws, authorising the Governor of the Province where the) landed, to order them forthwith out of tin country. Anojher order proclaims death !to any one w ho may speak ill of the existing go vernment. These indications of apprehensive and sus picious despotism, when connected with pre vious accounts, and with that which we this GEORGIA STATESMAN, MONDAY JUNE 4, 1827. day republish from the Philadelphia National Gazette of the revolutions in Peru, and the overthrow of the 80l vian constitution, can not but awaken the liveliest solicitude of the lovers of freedom, for the fate of the new re publics of the South. La Pi.ata —We have received from our cofrespondent at the Merchant’s Coffee House of Philadelphia, a brief account of the news brought by the ship Moss, which has arrived at that port, with a passage of 61 days from Montevideo. A passenger in that vessel states, that a bat tle had been fought at Iturzaingo, about 500 miles northeast of Montevideo, in which the patriots had gained a great victory ; killing 1500 Brazillians, captu ing about an equal numbqr, put the remainder to route, and tak ing camp, cqupage, &c. This we suspect to be another account of the battle of the Ta cuor. mbo, at which the Brazillians pretended to the victory. Another advantage has been grained by Com Brown, as mentioned in the Buenos Ayres papers On the 9th and 10th Februa ry he attacked the Brazilian squadron, off the Island of Martin Garcia, near the mouth ot the Uruguay and took and destroy, and nineteen sail, one only escaped to Monteviedo The blockading squadron, consisting in all of nine sail were anchored at Ensenada. A Buenos Ayreap privateer, called the Mancelia, com manded by capt. Beasely, had captured s ven prizes off Rio, estimated to be worth three hundred Ik titty'thousand dols. Our previous news from Brown was the Bth Feb. when he had taken several gun-boats. The squadron he attacked or the 9th and 10th was doubtless the r maining gun-boats up the river. [Daily Advertiser. LATEST FROM LA PLATA. Baltimore, May 17. The ship Moss, Fennell, has arrived in the Delaware, m a passagt ol 54 days from Monte Video, whence she sailed on the Among the passengers is capt Odom, (late of the schooner Beamy, sold at P.uenos Ayres,) who landed at New Castb and reached this city yesterday morning. To the politeness ot capt. O. the editors of the American ar ■ in .'ieU.ed.fiir the following interesting informa tion : —Admiral Brown had succeeded in cap turing the whole of the Brazilian squadron in the river Uruguay. Hethen descended with his ves-eis to Buenos Ayres and immediate iy made an attack upon the Brazilian blocka ding squadron in tlie Outer Roads, which he forced to retire protection from one of the frigates, lying some distance below. A Brazilian hng ol 12 guns, was blown up, and every soul on board perished. The latest dates from Buenos Ayres were to the 15th March, at wnich time Brown was engaged in fitting out his vessels with the greatest activi ty with the intention, it was generally bel.ev ed, of making an attack on the blockading quadron. The g neral battle which took place in the province of Rio Grand , in Febru ary, between the Buenos Ayrean and Brazilian armies, resulted in the achievement of a complete victory ov. r the latter. Nine Brazilian standards had been transmitted to Buenos Ayres by General Alvear, as the tro phies of his victory—a large number of prison ers were taken, and twelve hundred o: the Bra zilian army were left on the field. In the course of the action, the Buenos Ayrean caval ry made two ineffectual charges upon the Bra zilian infantry; hut being harangued by their commander, an officer o! great gallantry, they succeeded at th third charge in penetrating the Imperial line, and decided the fate of the day It was sod that the Buenos Ayrean gen eral Was pushing his success so vigorously, as to induce the belief that the entire province ot Rio Grande would soon be in his posses sion It wa* lurt her reported, among the most intelligent classes at ‘Buenos Ayres, that tie . overninent continued to offer to the emperor the same terms to effect a peace which had been presented before the battle. The United States trigate Macedonian, commodore Biddle, was lying at Monte Video, render ng every possible aid and protec tion to American commerce. Capt. O. speaks in the warmest terms of ttie able and efficient manner in which the commodore discharged his duties. The petti auger privateer, com manded by captain Beasley, and another -mail privateer, had each succeeded in capturing 4* sending into the river Solado, Bra zilian property to the amount of SIOO 000. The La sin par (formerly the Beauty of Balti m< re,) bad got to sea from Buenos Ayres. Capt. Lewis, (of the ship Corsair of N. York, sold some months ago at B.

London, Feb. 23 We have received the following intelligence from Oporto this morning, contained in pri vate letters, dated the 4tb Feb. “ The rebels have retired from Brags, which is occupied by our troops, now between them and us. Little chance of the capture ot the fugitive. This is official, and we are quite safe for the moment, and for the moment only, if British troops do not move up. They alone can secure us permanent safety, and 'iirely the government ought to know this un doubted fact, and the importance, in a military and moral point cf view of this city.” ‘ The confusion at Oporto has been beyond all description.

Three men, Gregory, Nichols, and another whose name we have not learned, former resi dents of this city, arrived in town last week at ter a fifteen years captivity among the Indians. Early in the late war, William Gregory, then at the age of only eleven years, enlisted in the U S. service, under Capt. Watson of the city; and the others entering the army about the same time, they were all ordered to the west ern or Canada lines together. They had not remained long on that station before they were compelled to engage in several skirmishes with the Indians, in on of which these three with sixty one others were captured. After changing masters several times, they at last found themselves in the power of the tribe called Flat Heads, by whom they were taken to the Rocky Mountains, and taught the red mans art of hunting and fishing. During the long lingering years of their ser vitude, Gregory with the other two made four several attempts to escape, but were as many times re-taken ; and as a punishment for their bold endeavor, they were subjected to the most cruel and excruciating tortures which the untutored mind could devise or sa vage barbarity cxecutp. At one time they were made fast to a tree or post and their scalps taken off; after which, the little re maining flesh on the top of their heads was violently removed, and the bleeding scalps re placed, aud permitted to remain, and adhere. The flesh thus cut from their heads was roast ed and forced down their throats to sustain exhausted nature. At another time a piece was dessccted from the fleshy part of the thigh, w hich was also cooked and given them to • at. No resistance in this case would avail, and they submitted without opposition to the cruelties of tboir barbarous oppressors. Gre- *OLLME 11. gory however became so exasperated wc.fi pain that in a state of Wildness approaching insanity, he rose upon his tormenters and ac tually succeeded in bringing several of them to the ground. Upon this some ofthc Indians in their lan guage exclaimed, •* he is a good soldier •• but for his reward, his right arm which had done the deed, was stript, and on the inside a gash cut from th wrist to the shoulder, into which was introduced a hot walnut rod and tlie flesh again closed. As if this was not sufficient entirely to disable this member, thew immediately shot several bullets through his arm in diffierent places, and then left b IOI to groan and sigh that his hours of existence might be few and his lingering torments soon overpower the pulsations of life At another time th< ir tongues w re cut out Gregory's about one third, and the others en tirely to th roots Consequently Gregory is the only one who can utter a word, and he in distinctly and trom him the prb cipal informa tion is derived. They finally succeeded in es. lecting their escape by the assistance of a squaw, who in kindness accompanied them through the forest, a distance of 46 tuiles,and placed them on a track by which they suc ceeded in reaching the white settlements. V the time they made the last attempt to free themselves, they were three hundred mile* from anv white habitation. M,.ny more of their sufferings and hardships could be told but what we have already related is sufficient to shock the Icelings of humanity, and to e*. cite the warmest sympathy for these miserable fellow beings ; who at this late day, so longtf. ter the execution of the heartless deeds, lieir about them hut the too visible proofs of iho truth of their story Nichols and ihe third we understand left wives and families in this city, and Gregory a mother, who had long since numbered them with the dead. ' ' [Traveller. We should have inserted the above artido in our last, were it not that we tucught the statement, too horrid for belief. It is however confirmed in the last Traveller, the e*itor of that paper having had an interview with Mr Gregory and we are no longer al liberty to doubt the truth of his tale Mr. Gregory's narrativ is said to differ in no very essential point from the above statement. •' He enter ed the service as a waiter or musician at olev en years of age—was in the army of Gen. Bull when he surrendered at Detroit—-and with 65 others was seized and carried off by the In dians. All of this number hut 17, who were spared on account of their youthlulness, alter being taken in the dense w ilderness, were tad to po*ts and trees, their clothes stripped off, and their bodies thickly perforated with p ; a torches. In this condition the splinters were .ightedand they were litterally roasted alive: ■md then left to linger out their painful exist ence. Fourteen of the others were alive when Gregory and his comrades made their escape- It was some of his fellow*, but not Gregory, who had been scalped a> is stated. Out was a worthy Lieutenant, whose name if we rightly understand the broken accent of our inform ant, is McCrea. This officer made three at tempts with the others to liberate himself, hut the savages were so severe and horrid in their punishments of scalpmg and mangling bun that he durst not again take an uuforbiddon step. He is believed to be alive with the Flat H ads al the present time. Though Gregory was not actually scalped, a gash was cut from his forehead across his skull nearly to his neck and another across from ear to ear. The skin was torn back in the region of the m ck so far that a piece of the muscle could be dissected, which was roasted and eaten by the Indians or their captives. The flesh has been cut from his thigh and other parts m larger quantities than is aboYB mentioned His arm ( hangs by his side a mass of senseless, as well as useless matter.

They returned by the way of Green Bay, Detroit and Washington. A 1 the latter place, they made known their case to the President, who in person or by his order furnished them with money sufficient td enable them to r ach their fr«ends in Boston ; » n< * assured them that they were entitled to a pen sion, and on application to their captain still a resident in Boston, they would receivo the ne* cessary requisites to obtain it according to law.”— jV.
