The' deponents stste, «th*Jt they sailed from Baltimore on the 7th or 8th gf Oct. last, and proceeded down the-bay, where they took co buard a number of men and six 181a. cannon. They left tte Capes some, time-in said month, and proceeded on a-cruize. Tnc first capture they made was at the Isle of May, where tlev cut out a Portuguese brig partly laden with dry goods and rum, a portion of- vhich they took on board- the privateer, manned the prize and sent her nil’. On or about the first December, they captured a laigi t-hip said.to-be,from Liverpool bound the Brozjls, wjth ail assorted cargo, considerable part of which they took on board the privateer, and maimed 1 the ship with a prize crew: at the same time most of the officers of the privateer, briug dissat isfied, left her and weut on board the piize. and these deponents have since been infor med,that said prize lias arrived at Balti more. During the same month,off Pernain buco, ihey captured a Portuguese’ govern roent 6rfg called the Gaviaih, from Rio Jane iro, bound to Pernambuco,from Whichthey took a large quaatity oRumfiey in boxes Early in’the month of January , , they rap tured the Portuguese brig Maranhain Packet,-from Bahia, with, slaves, whom they put on board the Gaviatn, which-ves so 1 they manned amf ordered to sail it company, but they afterwards lost sight of her in a chance. The .Guineaman was given up -to the Portuguese prisoners They next captured a vessel laden with fish oil, money and coffee—one keg ol the money contained 2,176 dollars; they also to:k a considerable sum from the prison era.- -Eight days after they took a Portu guese Ship laden with timber and money, the latter ot which, -was hrungbt on board the -privateer. They then .proceeded to St. Domingo, and on the coast they obtain ed a.supply of water. from thence they proceeded for the Capes of Virginia, and took* pilot lO.or 12 days since and j>u: into Severn River, having on board all the' specie and merchandize they had taken Jrom tiie.different prizes. The next even. -.the captain, left the privateer in a pilot boat, supposed for Baltimore, and too* with him all the prize goods and money These deponents then left the .privateer and-proceeded to York, from whence, they .continued on to'Xbrfulk.” er . c .e pt.-Gnlfi ortli a- or . .Georgia, 'Y~k‘ per den county, as surveyor, io aacertatn by feent. -On any other state %r territory of actual measurement,4hij length of the nor- |the ‘Uhitetl Statesf dn or adjacent to this them and southern branches of the St. Jcotitiaent,«ncl nsrtlrol the cquator, coin- Mary’s river, "(tliese being the principal ] prehending the British and alf other, for- uraliches, which by uniting, make the Sir} el"h pot^rsiopv iji .Ihs -VWtt Indms, and Marys river}) and thereby obtain unequivo-.l elsewnete infilte W.esternr Atlantic Ocean, cgl testimony,on which to prsdicate our J 10 per<eiit, Thesp damages to be in lieu; qport.

THE NEWSPAPER, There is scarcely any tniug that distin guishes modern from ancient times, more than the rapidity by which intelligence is conveyed. -Formerly, -mountains, oceans, and streams were regarded as natural boundaries—diversity ol’ languages -were another impediment to tho progress -of knowledge; but all those obstructions have, in modern limes, vanished and dis appeared. If an important movement is made amongst great and warlike nations on the continent of -Europe, the Atlantic presents no barrier to the flight of tne in telligence. The tvinds'and the boisterous waves now lend nil their assistance to aid the rapid herald in his passage. Wnen such intelligence -arrives, this mysterious messenger climbs the tops of our highest mountains, skims along .the bosom -of our native lakes, and visits -every city, town and hamlet, in her passage. This mighty piece of moral machinery, which has been ao much decried and abused, is -nothing more than a newspaper—It visits tbe cab inets. oLkings, royal palaces, or the hut of poverty, and..proclaims alike to the'-world what-hasbeen done, unatved by the frowns and regardless of the smiles of the greats— Agriculture, commerce and .industry, .li terature, and all the wonders of nature or art, do not escape the searching pen of tbisanxiuus and exquisite sprite.'
