Previous to their landing at Carupaho, a naval! action took'place, in which Don Mateo de O’Campo was [ killed; in consequence of which, lie went to join Zuazola, I Boves, and other vagabonds in . Brion was slightly wounded, but is now perfectly recovered. It is reported that the fleet which was lately seen off the Balize, was not [as stated] the Carihagenian fleet from Aux-Caves, but a small division of ships of war un der the same colors, with several Spanish merchant ves sels, their prizes, one of which is a large ship from Cadiz, with a very valuable cargo. It is stated that off Cuba they encountered a Spanish brig of war, which they en gaged, but which beat them off with a great loss. We cannot learn where or when those vessels were fitted out: if the report is tine that they have proceeded to the westward, and anchored on Crand-Ttrre, there can be no doubt of their intention to resume the trade, which was carried on so successfully two vears ago. Nor is it less certain that those intentions will he defeated; and it is our earnest wish that all attempts to smuggle may be punished with exemplary severity: in this wish we are joined by every faithful citizen of the Lnited States, as well as bv every man who is friendly to the cause of Spanish American independence, and who wishes to ac complish that object by honorable u.eans, not by such an atrocious abuse of the sacred flag of liberty ;is the one al United States and the records of his naval arrangements I luded to above. It is by such vile conduct, perpetrated are in consent with the abilities he had displayed in the cause of the nation. Every testimony of respect to pub lic men is an honor to our citizens, and becomes a new claim upon the talents which are acred for our defence. Essex Register. Samuel Dickens, a federalist, has been elected to con gress, in the Raleigh (North Carolina) district, in the room of the deceased Mr. Stanford.—Baltimore Patriot. By a gentleman from St. Petersburg, we learn, that there were nearly 100,000 troops in the vicinity of that citv; which were frequently reviewed by the emperor of Russia, accompanied by his brother-in-law the heredita ry prince of Orange in June.—Philadelphia Democratic Press, August 14. We understand that captain A. J. Dallas, of the Unit ed States’ navy, is appointed to the command of the Prometheus sloop of war, which is about to sail for Rus sia with despatches.—ib. Prom the Washington GaJ -Yews, 23d instant. Wherever the slave trade is allowed between the in habit nts of civilized countries, it is naturally to be ex pected that the countrv to which they are brought, be sides its share of the everlasting disgrace of such a traf fic, will be a further sufferer in the character and kind of slaves thev purchase. Such country must expect to be cursed with the most abandoned, and most desperate the incendiaries, murderers and thieves; who, too vile and dangerous to be reta.ned, are sold and sent from justice. Accordingly there has for some years past, been a constant stream of this dreadful emigration hither from the northward, among which villains of the deepest dye have actually been known and recognized. Two of Box. le\’s insurgents are known to have been sold within few miles of tills place, and the slave trader has scatter ed the residue of his gang somewhere among us. There has existed ever since the year 1798, a statute prohibiting this traffic, which has of late become so constant aric; alarming, that there seems a general disposition in the community to arrest its progress. In this place, (and several others, pa we are informed) traders of tliis des cription have been bound over to the Superior Court to answer to an indictment under the statute, the substance of which we subjoin for the Information of all concern ed. Tiie act declares that any person bringing into this from any other state, any slave “with a view or intention of making sale of the same' shall forfeit for the first of- ie-iice SiId dollars, and for every subsequent offence 1000 dollars, for even' such slave. It should be observed, that the mere bringing in with the intention of selling constitutes the offence, so that the trader is liable the moment he lands on the shore. It is provided that nothing therein, shall prevent any person from becoming a citizen of the State, and'bring ing with him anv number of slaves on removing hither; or’ to prevent any person bringing hither slaves, left to them bv will or otherwise. • And before any such slaves can be brought, it is di rected that the person intending to bring them, shall make oath, before the pourt of the county, (or justice of the peace) from which he is about to remove them, “that the slaves he is about to bring to Georgia are his own fa mily negroes, or such as have actually been left him by will or otherwise, particularly specifying the name, num- ber and sex of such negroes;” that a certificate with the seal of the countv annexed, shall be by such person pro duced to a justice of the peace after coming into this State ; that such justice is required to give such person a certificate of the same, 8tc. The statute provides against evasion by leaving it with a jury to determine with what intention the negroes are brought. As prevention is, upon every principle of humanity and policy better than punishment, we venture to suggest to our brother editors the utility of giving immediate circu lation to the foregoing abstract of the law, akid of its in tended enforcement. Prom the Buffalo Gazette, August 6. NEWS FROM THE WEST! The hermaphrodite brig Union, James Beard, master, left Detroit on the 23d tilt, and grounded near the head ofGross Island, about eight milts below Detroit, her own boat being too small, she obtained one from the United States’ g-arrisoaatGrtss Island for the purpose of getting htrofi; which was effected on the morning of the 24th. The wind being ahead she beat down the river nearly abreast ot the garrison, to which two men were sent to return the boat—being in sight of Amherstburg, a boat was seen to leave the latter place atthesame time our’s left the brig, and proceeded iq the same direction until our boat came near the garrison, she then put about for the Union, having on board An officer in a midshipman’s uniform and six men, who immediately came on deck. The officer en quired for the master of live brig, and told him he had com. to search his vessel for deserters. M^jB^rd ob served, his men were all on deck exSiSpr those sent ashore in the bout. The officer then ordered his 3ien into the hold and forecastle to search. Mr. Beard •fnymstraled against such Unwarrantable proceeds and forbid .it. The officer then replied, that he was ordered to search ber peaceably if he could, if not to use force, Saving, “ifour government allo ws it, and why should not yuu?” At this time there were two pieces of artillery drawn up on the Canada shore, npparantly well manned, and not more than one hundred yards from the Union.— Mr. Beard told the British officer that if he would search the brig, he must take charge of her; which lie did by Liang- the helm and ordering his men to take in sail and bring her to anchor, which was done. The bng was then searched and the officer told captain Beard he might re sume the command of her. On captain Beard asking him by what authority headed, he replied# that his name was Ilenry Brook—that he acted' under a verbal order from his commanding officer. A suitable notice of the above transaction will be for warded to the head of the proper department at Wash ington.

The following is an extract of a letter from Luguira, dated the 14th of July last: “I presume you have been alarmed with the accounts that have been circulated by' tile enemies of peace and ordef; but I can assure you that our tranquility has not been interrupted for a moment. The truth ot the iate occurrence is as follows:—Bolivar assisted the insur- rec ion at Margarita; on the 2d of May, he surprised a brig and schooner that blockaded the northern part, and after ah obstinate combat, he succeeded in captur ing those vessels, both commanders being- killed: the slaughter was great on both sides—Brion was wounded; nevertheless, they effected nothing against the garrison of Pampatar, the principal port in the island. “On the 5th of June, Boiivar attacked Carupano a defenceless town, which resisted uniil the night of the 29th, when our combined forces by sea and land attacked tiie enejny, and, on the approach of the division that set out from Cumana the 25th of June, they fled. This division left 2000 rations at Pampatar. “The enemy had 15 vessels and after collecting all the partizans and negroes they could find, they present ed taemselves before Chorony, on the 5th instant, a town about 20 miles from this place; they debarked at Calta, and on the 7th surprised the plantations of Leon and Maracay (14 leagues from Caracas) where they found few followers; they took 1 officer and 3 hussars; but our troops at Turtnero and Caqua, attacked them and put them to flight, killing a great number. Bolivar reinforced himself, and wished to penetrate to the inte rior, but the royal troops, consisting of Spaniards and Creoles, under the command of Alorales, marched against them on the 10th—-lie completely routed them, and on the 11th surrounded those who took refuge in the mountains; they fortified themselves at Ocumare, under shelter of their vessels, but they were pressed so hard by our troops, that of the 500 men that debarked only 2b0 escaped; several of the prisoners have been sent to Caracas, they consist chiefly of negroes and some Frenchmen. “On the 12th, the enemy made an excursion on the coast to collect his dispersed troops, and approached near Mayquetia and Cortia (one or two miles distant from tins place) but they found none, except a few of our guns that were ready to give them a good reception. “The government was desirous that they would pene trate to the interior of the country: for in that case, cer tainly not one of them would have escaped ; but the farcical liberator foresaw the consequence, and .never abandoned his vessels. In Hie mean while, six dayis can not elapse before there will be a naval combat, our squadron having sailed in pursuit of the privateers in the gulf of Paria. “It is now two in the afternoon; the post from Caracas has just arrived, bringing intelligence, that on the 12th, there was great slaughter amongst the insurgents, Morales having pursued them and put to the sword all those who could not .embark- 1 —To-morrow we shall re ceive the particulars. There is no doubt but that the rebels and robbers must inevitably perish. Santa Fe was occupied by our troops on the 25th of April—rein forcements liave marched for Peru.” c CARACCAS TAKEN BY THE PATRIOTS. We are favored with the following extract of a letter, to a gentleman in New York, dated N Currapoa, July 13, 1816. The squadron under admiral Brion landed its forces at Carupano, whence the active general Bolivar detached Marino, his second in command, to march upon Cum ana. - Piav, with one thousand five hundred cavalry, di rected their march upon the plains (Llanos.) Margaritta and several other places were taken, and great clemency shown by the conquerors to the Spanish prisoners.— Hence they sailed, and landed at Ocumanes with two thousand troops, where they rallied seven hundred more in three days. They subsequently took possession of Ca brera and Maracay. Valencia was soon after evacuated and the victorious independent army took the road to Caraccas. This morning admiral --Brion arrived before this port, and obtained permission to land, for the pur pose of having a Conference with admiral K kkert, and he brought the intelligence of Caraccas having surrender ed to die patriots/ The Spanish soldiers are daily desert ing their monarch’s cau^e, to enlist under the liberators’ banners. They say they are starving under the cruelty of the Spanish government, and wish -no" longer to be- We have been enabled to procure authentic and accu rate information in relation to the squadron which has lately appeared off’ the Balize. We can assure the pub lic that it was not only apart of the Carthage nian Meet from Aux Cayts, but that the whole of the force tinder commodore Aury has actually arrived at Matagorda, and that he has in the name and under die authority of the Alexican republic taken possession of that port. The command of tiie expedition was assumed at AuxCajes by commodore Aury in consequence of instructions di rectly from the Mexican government, and it consisted of eighteen vessels and upwards of one thousand men, well armed and equipped. Little doubt can be enter tained that widi such a naval co-operation,’ the whole coast will be in possession of the patriots before Novem ber next. So far from intending to resume the smug gling business, we are permitted to state that any at tempt to violate the revenue or any other laws of the United States, is expressly prohibited by the commander of the expedition under pain of death. We are promised a copy' of their proclamation and general orders as soon as they shall be received. Those documents and -any others that may have a tendency to illustrate their views and promote their glorious cause, will be most cheerfully published in this paper.—ib. 5th inst. We learn from Pensacola that a Spanish frigate of 44 guns, which had lately brought out the new captain ge neral of the Island of Cuba, was totally destroyed by fire in the harbor of Havana.—ib. ‘FROM HAVANA. New Haves, August 13. Letters, under date of 20th of July, just received in this city from Havana, state that the harbor is closely blockaded by Carthageniaii cruisers; and add, that the crewsof several vessels under the royal flag, which lately sailed from that port, have risen (when at sea) upon their captains, murdered them, and then joined the Carthageniaus. FROM LIMA. By the Russian ship Suwarrow from Lima, says a Lon don paper of June 22, we have received letters and pi pers up to tiie 22d February. The following is an ex tract— It has been a miracle that the ship Charlotte lias arrived here, since two armed Ships and a brig from Buenos Ayres, chiefly manned with foreigners, English Americans, &c. were blockading the port. The com mander of these ships is Brown, an Irishman, and his second in command is a Frenchman, of the name of iloug- hurt. Before this place they made six captures, among them the ship Governess with six thousand quintals co coa on board. They appeared on the 21st January', and remained till the 28th—They made several attempts to enter the bay and seize on the gun boats, but they were repelled.
