Extract of a letter from Liverpol, dated July 6,1816, to a mercantile house in this city. “The situation of the mercantile, manufacturing, and agricultural classes in this country is most deplorable, from the want ofmarkeS, and the want of cash.

I never heard complaints of distress so general; and am heartily sick of the coun try.” — It is Worthy of remark, tnat every senator and representative from the states ol Connecticut and Delaware (all federalist.-,:) voted in favor of tin congress salary bill, it will be recollected tnat these tvyo (giving 14 votes) were tne only states that voted against Mr. Jefferson at tne presiden tial election of 1804: so these two are the only states wuose senators and representatives were unanimous in voting into their own pot Kets tne annual salary of S15U0.—Concord Patriot, The Gazette of this morning says, that the United .States’ sloop of war Spark, captain Nicholson, is aoout to sail for the Mediterran ean with dispatches.—Al'ew-l orlc Columbian. • .

The following is an extract of a letter from a gentleman in New-<^rleans, to his correspon dent in this city, dated New-Orleans, 20th July, 1816. It is now ascertained by the schooner Dos Hermanos, just arrived at Barrataria, from Iio- quillatle Pierdra, that the congress of the pat riots there, had been dispersed by Team, and that a most destructive anarchy had broken out amongst the leaders and partisans of the Mexi can revolution; in consequence of which no i:i d oi government or army existed in that quar ter to support the cause of independence.— Epitasio, who commanded a division of patriots on the toad to Mexico, went over witli them all to the royal army, which appears to have sunk the rartizans it* those provinces in the greatest disppndenoy. Under these gloomy circum stances, they have no mercy at their disposal, and all their lines of communication are in pos session of the royalists. As an instance of their distressed condition, I have only to tell you, that the Mexican ambassador in tisis city, was lately expelled from the house where he lodged, on account of his being destitute of the means to discharge his bill, and his dependents have gone to different places in the United States, with the object of raising money by deceiving people with false reports, as well as with Matter ing promises and engagements which they can never realise. Some merchants here have, ad vanced the agents of the patriots, a cargo o! ammunition and other warlike stores to the amount of g70,000; and from last September to the present day, it has been uttetly impossible for them to receive one cent in payment of saiu cargo, although they have sent eight vessels at different periods to Boquilla de Piedra, for this express purpose. I wonder how men of com mon sense can be imposed upon by such people. To the anove I must add, as a fact; in the begin ning of this month an expedition set out from Vei‘a Crux for Boquilla de Pleura, and therfc was no doubt that that place would be taken, and the patriots entirely defeated and extermi nated. From all these circumstances, I con sider it a great folly to embark in speculations and engagements with such adventurers.—Balii- more federal Republican, 22d ult. til: “GREAT WELLINGTON!” Some of tne W aterloo Romance writers who have labored so hard to construe Napoleon’s pre tended agitation at the loss oi the great battle, as a display of las real character a» a weak and undignified commander, nave inadvertently be trayed some oi Wellington's- conduct, which we tmnk may ue fairly set off'against the aiiedg- ed weakness of Bonaparte, one writer, rela ting tile close of the action, says— ‘•The a.ixieties of tne British commander were now over.

It is said that a discovery has been made of means by which balloons are rendered, managea ble, and rendered susceptible of being directed with as much facility through the air, as a boat tiirough the water. Several experiments have, it is said, been made with perfect success, ia which a balloon of the shape of a fisl>, has been made to move in a. horizontal line direct, and on a circle or curved line at discretion, with the same facility ns a natural fish ia water. If this should prove to be a real and practical improve ment, aerostation may yet realize all that was ex pected from it, on its first empioymet golfier, about 40 years ago. ;nt by hioa- Died, on Saturday evening last Miss Sara;!

Charleston, August 31. Several vessels arrived here yesterday, gave us infor mation of a vessel being on shore at Cape Remain; but we could gain no certain information who she was, until ast evening, when the schooner Polly, captain Davenport came in from Euenton, having on board a Spaniard, whom lie had picked up at sea about It) o’clock yesterday morn ing, 6 or 8 miles to the eastward of Bull’s Island, float ing upon one of the hatches of a vessel. From this Span iard, whose name is Gozs Vicente, we have obtained the following partictlars; through the polite assistance of a gentlemen speaking the Spanish language, who kindly acted as interpreter. * The seaman not speaking a word of English. ■ it appears from his statement, that the vessel wrecked is called the Diamond, commanded by captain Cuiusto- rat Soler; that she was fitted outsat Havanafor a voyage to the coast of Africa, and left that port about the 28th of July, in company with another vessel, having the same destination. The Diamond had on board, 42 men before the mast, besides officers, &c. in all about 50. Soon after sailing-, parted company with her consort, and about 15 days since encountered a gale of wind, in wiiich she was dismast ed. Having erectedjurymasts they made for the Ameri can coast, undat 8 o’clock onThursday morning,'! ,-twein Georgetown and Cape Romain they brought too the schooner Hornet, from Philadelphia, for Charleston; the Spanish captain insisted that the commander of the schoon er should send on board a person to take charge of the Diamond, and captain Edward C. Gardner, of Philadel phia, who was passeng-er on board, reluctantly agreed to do so. In the course of the day, the Diamond was brought to anchor some where near Cape Remain ghoals, - «,.re she remained until about 4 o’clock in the afternoon, when the captain and other officers, insisted upon getting the vessel under way, contrary to the advice and opinion of the person they had forced on board as pilot. At 6 o’clock, she struck upon the shoals, when her guns and many other things were thrown overboard, her jury mi- zenmast cut away, and every expedient resorted to light en her; she then drifted in somewhat nearer to the land —(now supposed to be about 3 miles distant)—when she bilged, and was filling fast with water. As the only means rema.ning to preserve their lives, a a raft was hastily constructed, and all the crew embark ed upon it, in the hope of reaching land; but they had not drifted far before the raft settled so low in the water, that the sea beat over it, and many, were washed off; our informant sustained himself upon it as long as possible, but was at last obliged to swim for his life, when for tunately getting hold of a part of the hatches of the schooner, he got upon it, and was thus providentially pre. served from immediate death. He can form no cosect opinion as to what may have been the fate of the remain aer of the crew—many were stiff clinging to the raft when he was washed off and the presumption is but too strong, that a large portion of them must have perished, fo completely was Vicente overcome with fatigue, th. t fie fell, asleep upon the hatch towards morning, and did not awake until after sun rise, when nothing was to be seen of the wreck, or of his wretched fellow sufferc-rs. Fortunantely for him the wind bitty in a parallel direc tion with the land, to which circumstance he may pro bably ascrihe his escape from a watery grave, as it kept him in the tract of vessels running down the coast, and made captain Davenport the happy instrument of sav ing the life of a fellow creature. 9. sept For New-York. • 4 * ^The brig TYBEE, captain N.
