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 •■'•••'. > < 1 linen's the action, and afterwards recaptured by admi ral Brion.— Herald. 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.” Washington City paper.

Given under my hand and sead of office, this 16th October, 1818. JOHN BAILLIE, c. c. o. oct. 26 1 1 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
