Juan Bautista Arisntendi, of the order ol Liberators, and general in chief in the army, etc. Be it known, that on the 15th day, Inst entered this port, the armed brig called the Irresistible,of the Oriental Republic of La Plata with the Spanish, brig ol wai Nereyde, as tender; the latter having been captured by. the Irrtsiatible, in latitude 8. longitude 30, while sailing from Cadiz to Rio Janeiro. ’That un the 2Ut, the privateer La Uriolla, from the republic of l.a Plata, anchored at this port, and on the night of the 24th, both crews mutinied, took possession by force uf the Irresistible and arresting the officers who whe were on uoard, made their escape with the vessel, in spite of the firing, from the Criolla, and' the batteries Crum the land; and though the’ commander, Daniel*, happening to be on shore, used every effort ami diligence' to appease the mutineers, and to prevent thidr escape, it was impossible to.pbtain it, lor assisted by the place, and vessels in the haibor, he maimed the brig Nereyde (now the congress of Venezuela,) and pursued the robbers without efleet, owing to their superiority of sailing and difference of time; in consequence of which, the said commander, Daniels, was obliged to put back, after taking up the officers and men, whom the mutineers had landed oq tie coast, as adverse to their plans of piracy -and plunder. Such iniquitous conJutt sets the crimin als out of the protection of tlfe laws; and to prevent in so much as possible, their fu ture depredations, under the pretence ol commission to cruize from the republic i*t Venezuela’ I do hereby declare, that the said brig Irresistible has no commission from the Oriental republic of La Plata, since the 24th of this month, nor from the republic of Venezuela, and that he ought to be considered as a pirate, and sailing under no authority and sanction from any government whatever, and as *uch to be captured by the force* public and private of the state. And to the friendly and neu tral nations, I do farther entreat and de sire, to detain the said brig, il found, and to order him to.this Island, here to proceed an its case with the severity of the laws.— Given at Juan Griego in the Island of Margarita, under the seal of the Admiral ty, and countersigned by my secretary (Signed) Juan Bautista Ahismenm Pedro J.

She* ouiniHiiicated the fact to her liu-band, who posted off tn the Newark bti-lgi tocnquiie if any!; erson had passed with a bundle.

Ifor ladyship soon moved from her couch of hay; and though ordered to stop mount-’d the fence like a <leer. The landlord thinking this Adonis, was not without her beuu, secured the - bundle as well as the lace vail and bonnet, and gave the alarm to those in the house. For a time no one was seen or further dis covery made. On opening the buiidlr, it ' was loliiid 'o contain the clothes of a man who some weeks previous had been ostler to the tavern teeper. The streets were patroled for some time in vain, till the crash ut a rear garden lence proclaimed that some oue was-passing; thither the- landlord hasted, and had again the sight if a person dressed'in silk apparel, whom lie saw enter a hack door ef a certain dwelling house. Entrance was demanded, but for some time refused. At last the door was opened, and, in conjunction with sevc-* r.*l neighbors,-search was wade in vain, except uiiding a silk coat in the cellar.— An escape seemed impossible, as the house was literally surrounded. On the point giving up all further search, a goose peii was discovered aside the dwelling house. One of the company suggested examining that place.

It is well known, to all leading military men. that the duke’s al- ’ low-ance amounted only to 6000/. per ann. Hisexpepces, except when in Paris, gieat- ly exceeded his income; and at Chambray, where he kept open house to all who chose I to join in the sports of the fi*-l*l, they were enormously great. It is true that 500,000/. ’ (the award of parliament) appears a great sum; bur when we consider that 263,000/, of that sum goes to lord Rivers, there is then to be built a magnificent palace, which will swallow up tiie greater part of the residue. As to the service of plate, the one from Portugal takes the lead, and even that, what is the intrinsic value? It • ■ abounds with ornament, and the sculpture is very beautiful; but as to solid wnith, it is inconsiderable. As to the story of the pictures, it is a fable.
