OF SPAIN. 7
Extract of a letter , dated Mad'id, July 9.
“Public distrust and dissatisfaction rapidly in
crease, for indeed nobody is sc tire in their own
houses, such is the system of the government
and the preponderance of the inquisition: Mon
tcro, Urhenejas, and Zuluaga, belonging to the
Spanish guards; colonel Gomez Labrador; pre
bendary Bilches, a native of the river Plata, and
a mechanist belonging to this city of the name of
Comitre, were all seized and shut up in the in
quisition of this place between twelve and one
on the night of the 24th. On the 18th, commo
dore Fargucr, don Guerrero, licentiate Martinez
Cavellero; Villala, a printer; Reyes, a watch
maker; Duquid and Duplesis, dyers, were also
confined in the inquisition of Saragossa. The
seizure of their property has been extremely se
vere; nothing these victims possess has been spa
red. Even their wearing apparel was given in
charge to the stewards of the holy tribunal. The
whole crime of these prisoners is, that they are
accused of being freemasons.”— London paper.
In an article under the head of Madrid, the
31st July, we find the following remarks in rela
tion to the affairs between Spain aud the United
Slates: “It is almost generally asserted here,
that we shall not have war with the United States,
notwithstanding their invasion of our territory in
the Floridas, nor even on account of the taking
of Pensacola and the fort of Barancas. It is said
that general Jackson has not only guaranteed the
ancient property of the inhabitants, but also the
concession of land lately made by the Spanish
government. This measure is very fortunate
for the new proprietors; amongst these latter
are several noblemen, whom the king honors
with his special esteem.”
From the Boston Palladium.
The British revenue for this year is estimated
at eight millions of dollars more than that of 1817.
One hundred and twenty-seven members of
the British parliamentary opposition have signed
an application to Mr. Tierney, to take the lead
on their side, in place of the late Mr. Ponsonby.
It is said to he intended to reduce the British
army 25,000 men, on the return of the troops
from France!
It is said the typhus fever was increasing in
Ireland.
It is mentioned that the British government
have sent two frigates to sea, for the special pur
pose of cruising to protect British merchant ves
sels from revolutionary privateers.
Between 5 and 600 criminals were supposed
to he in confinement for trial, at the sessions at
the Old Bailey, which was approaching.
The duchess of Berry is in a way that promises
an addition to the Bourbons.
The French Stocks have advanced to near 80.
The king of France has given a pension to the
proprietor of the house in which Joan of Arc
was horn; and the children of the proprietor are
to be educated at the public expense. The gov
ernment has bought the house and intend to erect
a monument on the spot Joan was born in 1412.
The city of Lisbon is said to have continued to
decline since the removal of the court.
Steam-boats are now employed on Mediterra
nean. One is establised to ply between Naples
and Palermo.
LATEST FROM THE SPANISH MAIN.
Norfolk, October 16.
Captain Brickiey, of the schooner Marmion,
who arrived here last evening from Laguiva,
states, that, at the time of his sailing, September 8,
the patriots were besieging Cumana, with a force
of 2000 men. The royalists, however, were nu
merous, and well supplied with provisions and
military stores, botii of which, it was understood,
tne patriots stood much in need of. It was the
general opinion that no fighting would take place
until December, about which time they calcula
ted that the plains would be sufficiently dry for
their operations.
A report reached Laguira, just before the M.
sailed, which was currently believed, that two
English laden with provisions and muni
tions of w ar, it* the relief of the patriots, had ar
ris cd in the Oronoco, from some of the islands;
hut were intercepted on their way up the river,
and captured by a squadron of Spanish fiecheras,
(a soil of gun boats). As soon, however, as the
inteliig nee of their capture reached Trinidad, a
brig of war was immediately dispatched by the
British admiral, to demand their release, and pro
ceeded to Guayra, a small town in the guiph of
1 aria, into which the fiecheras had carried the
two vessels. The Spaniards, however, refused
to give them up, when the brig, as if (feteimin
ed to have them at all hazards, commenced fir
ing on the Spanish flotilla: and admiral Brion,
coming up at the same time with his squadron,
joined in the attack. Nearly all the fiecheras
were in a short time either taken or sunk. The
town ci Guayra was then taken possession of by
admiral Brion, and the two English vessels re
stored to the captain of the brig.— Reading root:
books. ,
{o°\Ve suspect there are some misrepresen
tations of facts in the above statement; which is
the more likely, as the account comes from the
Spanish town of Laguira. We have more di
icu and positive information of the transactions
at G uay ru from another source, which enables us
to say, that the Spanish flotilla was taken by Bri
on’s squadron alone; that, instead of a brig of war,
it was die Briuaii frigate Scamander which ap
plied for the release of the two English vessels;
and that, so far from her firing into the Spaniards,
jUie kept aiool during the engagement, which,
het neutral character compelled her to
oi war” which commenced the

CHICKASAW TREATY.
Nashville, September 26.
General Jackson and governor Shelbey, with
their suits, left here on Suday last for the Chicka
saw Old Town, for the purpose of holding a trea
ty with those Indians.
October 3.
By a letter from Murfreesborough, of the Ist
instant, we understand that governor M‘Minn,
arrived at the Cherokee agency, on the 14th ul
timo, and that a number of the chiefs of that part
of the nation, who have hitherto been hostile to
the execution and treaty of 1817, are beginning
to withdraw their opposition. A council of the
whole nation will he held at the Agency on the
20th instant, under special instructions from the
honorable the secretary of war.
On the 17th instant, governor Cass and gener
al M‘Arthur concluded a supplementary treaty
w ith the Wyandot, Shawnoes, Seneca and Otta
way tribes of Indians. By this treaty the Indians
are permitted to hold as reserves, in addition to
the reserves allowed them by the treaty of last
year, about 160 sections of land, with an addition
to their immunities of 3,400 dollars. The Indi
ans have relinquished all claims to the fee of the
lands reserved to them, and are to hold them as
Indian reservations have heretofore been held,
without the power of disposing of them, except
to the United States. As this treaty has been con
cluded strictly agreeable to a resolution of the
senate of congress and the instructions of the
president, it is hoped there can he no objection
to its ratification. —Chillicothe Supporter.
Private letter from Alabama, state, that a court
was at that time sitting (17lh September) at Fort
Claiborne, in Monroe county, a spot which, un
til the late Indian war, was scarcely known to
white people , except a few wno lived among
the Indians. It is on tne banks of the Ala
bama, about sixty miles above Fort Stodderi.—
Two years ago, there was but a single cabin on
the spot where the town now stands, and it is
computed that the tow n now contains twenty*-se
ven hundred inhabitants. Although the vvnoie
of the land still belongs to tne Indian nation,
there are a court-house and gaol, as wen as a
variety of private buildings erected for tne pur
poses of public justice and of domestic coihlort;
and, it is witn regret it is stated, tnat the gaol
was crowded with criminals, some of whose cas
es were of a highly interesting nature. An In
dian, for one, Uad been indicted for tne murder
of a w hite man, and six or eight white men had
been indicted, for having (as the reader may re
member to have seen it stated some time ago)
murdered several Indian prisoner, who were
shot and killed when hound, and passing under
the protection of a guard from Fort Giaibome to
Fort Montgomery. This is a crime, it establish
ed, calling for all tne energy of tne iaw. A dis
position is said to prevail among the people, fa
vorable to the repression of such outrages, and
for tne prosecution of every species oi offence
against the laws and against the public peace.
These are objects which we had rather see ei
l'ected by civil than by military iaw.
A letter recited in this city horn a gentleman
living at Alexandria, at the tails ui Red River
in Louisiana, under date ol loin oi September,
gives a flattering view oi the rapidly improving
stale of that country. “Lands and town lots,”
the writer says, “have risen beyond ail expecta
tion. \Ve iiave now at Alexandria twenty mer
cantile establishments, whose imports may be
estimated at Irom two hundred aim fifty to three
hundred thousand dollars per annum. The crops
of this parish will tnis year amount to about tour
hundred thousand dollars, at tne present price oi
cotton: they are now very promising, and our pa
rish generally enjoying unusual prosperity.—
Land w hich was bought in 1806 at fifty cents per
acre, has recently been sold, in a tract of eight
hundred acres, at twenty eight dollars per acre.”

DARIEN,
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1812.
Ehratitm. —In our last paper, we stated that no lives
had been lost on board the Macedonian during the late
disastrous gale which forced her to put into Norfolk.
This was incorrect. “In the early part of it, Willi i x
\V ilkins, captain of the mizen top, an excellent sea
man and a worthy young man, w as unfortunately knock
ed overboard by the mizen stay sail sheet, and drowned.
This was the only casualty that occurred among the
crew.” The Macedonian had sailed from Boston on
the 10th of September, bound for the Pacific ocean
and completely equipped for a two years* cruise.
GENERAL GAINES,
his lady* and suit arrived in this place hist Friday even,
ing, and set off next day for Amelia Island. It is sup
posed, that he will fix head-quarters at Fernand!na for
two or three months, and that two battalions of United
States’ troops are on their way to join him. This
would seem to indicate something; and, if conjecture
might be hazarded, w e would say, he will, at that post,
await the decision of congress on the Floridas, an’
according.
By a gentleman from the south we learn, that a i
arrived on the 29th ult. at Amelia Island, bringing
telligence of three hundred United States’ troops ift
brig and schooner bound to that garrison having inaj
the land off St. John’s on the 25th, but, owing to hazjjk
weather and want of pilots, were unable to reach
destination. The commandant immediately despatched ‘
the necessary assistance, and before now, we suppose,
they are in quarters.
The legislature of Georgia commences its session this
day.
THE NEGLIGENCE OF PILOTS
has, from time to time, been felt severely* in many of
our seaport towns, and in none more so than in this one.
From the indolence and carelessness of the yellow man
appointed pilot for the bar, vessels, after beating off
and on for several days, have often been obliged to put
into St. Simon’s and Sapelo sounds, where guides appear
to be more attentive; but the navigation between those
inlets and Darien is so intricate and tedious that the
passage of vessels entering them is usually prolonged
three or four days and sometimes a week.
But evils of a nature more serious than the loss of
time are encountered from this neglect of duty in the
pilot. Impatience arising from delay, or apprehension
from the forebodings of a storm induces some captains,
against their better judgment, to attempt a bar with
w hich but few* are acquainted and to which most are
entire strangers. True it is, that wrecks but seldom
occur, but the thumpings and hazards experienced by
the adventurous in crossing have brought our bar (in
ferior in fact to Hut few in the southern states) into much
disrepute. Indeed, the instances are so numerous and
recent, that nothing else can be expected, until die fel
low* be compelled to fulfil the duties of his office, or be
removed and some careful person appointed in his
place. No longer since than last week, captain Gray,
of the schooner Magnet, was, after laying off the bar
two and iys and a half, induced to venture in without a
pilot, from he appearance of approaching foul weather.
In doing so he grounded on the breakers, but fortu
nately thumped over without sustaining any material
injury. Af’er the danger had been surmounted and
the schooner gotten abreast the south point of Sapelo,
the pilot came on board, with the laudable intention no
doubt of securing his fees, of which it is said he is ex
tremely tenacious, and the assertion seems credible
from the great anxiety he shewed, two or three days
previous to the Magnet’s arrival, to get on board a
sloop from New-York after she had reached Doboy
island without his assistance or even seeing him.
• Such conduct is an ungrateful return for the kind
ness with he has been treated by our merchants, who
have generously furnished him w*ith an excellent boat
and built a house for his family on Doboy; where, by
paying proper attention to his calling, he might ac
quire fortune and be serviceable to his benefactors,
whom he appears determined to injure systematically,
and will succeed to an incalculable extent, unless the cor
rective authority of the commissioners of pilotage be
interposed not in a nominal hut virtual manner.
It is v itli pleasure, however, w*e learn, that two gen
tlemen, adding excellent character to a thorough know
ledge of the bar and river, went down last Saturday for
the purpose of bringing in such vessels as are supposed
to be off the bar and others that are hourly expected.
DARIEN BANK.
The following sensible remarks on the propriety of the
legislature granting to Darien a charter for an indepen
dent bank, w e earnestly recommend to the public;
As much interest has been excited of late on the sub
ject of banks generally, it may not be improper to
shew, where they may be judiciously admitted and
where whitheld. That a profuse and indiscriminate sanc
tion of this system may be productive of serious injury
to the community, ought readily to be conceded; but
on the other hand, a prudent allowance of them will be
found highly beneficial both to the agricultural and
mercantile interest. It is well know n that this state
produces two great staples, which to be lucrative must
be exported to other countries; nor can it be expected
that, on this immense volume of produce leaving our
shores, its value is to be represented by a specie capital,
especially as we every day hear of the difficulty of pro
curing a metallic circulating medium for the ordinary
purposes of intercourse; therefore beyond the necessa
ry supplies of foreign articles for home consumption,
should specie be demanded for our articles of export,
they would soon fall below their true value, because
the means of payment would decrease in proportion to
the demand; and it is only the large capitalists could
come into the market. In the same degree that compe
tition ceasedto operate, so must the price of the raw ma
terials diminish: it having been found from experience
that a fair and liberal competition is not a bad test of
the value of produce: hence a wise U9e of banking sys
tems is beneficial by rendering facilities to ‘Jie merchant,
and it is not their \vhich
ought
