fifteen days. He is, according to this journal, to visit the
Prussian corps d’anne at its quarter-general at Sedan,
and the Austrian contingent at Colmar. Tins is rather in
contradiction with the indifferent state of health attri
buted to his grace. At Paris, the belief is almost univer
sal, that he was bearer of a treaty signed by Louis the
eighteenth on the 27 th June.

Lord Exmouth was-expected to set out yesterday on
bis expedition against the pirates. The Barbary powers
have had a little time to prepare for his lordship’s re
turn. We give an article in another column, on the au
thority of an officer lately in the Mediterranean, stating,
Mtwt Algiers is defended by about one thousand pieces of
ordnance, of every calibre, three hundred of which are
brass, .and that the present force of the lawless despots

A mail from Flanders arrived at a late hour last night,
fl'he Russian army which had collected in ’the neighbor
hood of Mohilow, are stated to have retired into the in

sembly of troops in the neighborhood of Hilchensfer,
twenty-five miles from St. Petersburg!!. This camp is
16 eonsist of 80,000 men of all arms, and the Russian go-
feminent has assigned the sum of a million of rubles to
Indemnify the proprietors of the harvest which may be
■damaged. No reason is assigned for the assembling of
this army, aryl it is the more remarkable, as Russia and
Turkey are now said to have establisiied a clear and
friendly understanding. It will be observed, that the
French papers state that the fears of the Porte with re-
f ard to the intentions of the emperor Alexander, have
efen removed by'a note recently delivered to the divan, tioned in my'last, are on their

peace. A state of armed peace it would seem, till an op
portunity of pouncing upon some unfortunate state shall
offer to the eyes of the ambitious monopolizers of king
doms. The Prussian government lias fixed four provin
ces in which the French who come within the exceptions
to the law of amnesty, may fix their abode, at their own
Option; these four provinces are Pomerania, Silesia, the

On lord Exmouths’s visit to the fleet, he harangued
the crews ofthe ships for a long time, holding out to them
two months’ additional pay, and their immediate dis
charge after they had punished the Algerines. Not a
_ volunteer was found in the whole fleet, and one of the
Sailors ofthe Boyne, observed to his lordship, “that if
the Algerines were to he punished, it might have been
done during the seven days the fleet lay before it.” It is
melancholy to observe such a general disgust amongst
our brave sailors, and nothing can be so vitally interest
ing to this country as a parliamentary enquiry into the
general management of our navy.

A curious instance is communicated in accounts from
43pain of king Ferdinand’s gratefut indulgence to our
commerce. . Prior to the kit? revolution a regulation ex
isted by which British cloths, paying the regular home
duties, were allowed to be shipped to Spanish America
in the proportion of one-third, as long as the other two*
thirds of the assortment consisted of national cloths.—
During the earlv stages of the revolution, as the Spanish
looms were suspended, and no quantity of the article
could be had for exportation, tbi restriction had been
laid aside, and our cloths, after beitg nationalized in the
custom houses, enjoyed full privileges. In order, how
ever, to restore things to their olu standing, in the kind
ness of his heart the magnanimous king of Spain has
now been pleased to enact that the former regulation
shall be in full force, whence it follows, that as no Span
ish cloths can be had to make up the assortment, the
houses connected with England have been obliged to
countermand immense orders they had given, as the im
portation would be altogether useless.
It will be seen by the Gazette that colonel John M‘Ma-

abolition of the system, and had nearly reached the beach
bn his return on board ship, the Turkish Jannissary guard,
among whom his way lay, incensed at the prospect of not
being permitted to indulge any further in their accustom
ed and inhuman atrocities, conferred with each other
whether they should not take summary vengeance on
our gallant chief; one party of them decided on his being
immediately scimitered; another, more moderate, sug
gested that such conduct would undoubtedly bring down
tiie just vengeance of entire Europe on their devoted
heads. Lora Exmouth was, however, happily able to
take leave of tills sanguinary council with Ids head in its

Dr. Herbert Marsh is to lie the new bishop of Laudaff,
and the selection of this distinguished character does
great honor to the government. The Protestant church
pas qat a more vigorous defender—and indeeed it stands
in need of such defenders. In him we shall find no dis
position to graft the Catholic upon the Protestant church.
He is a decided enemy'to the Catholic question—a de
cided friend to the constitution in church as established
by the revolution. With such men, and with a strong
expression of the public voice, which, as far as in us lies,
we shall never cease to call for, the church will be safe,
and the prediction of the bishop of of Norwich will not
be fulfilled. There is in the Dublin Evening Post we re
ceived this morning, a letter from his lordship to the
Secretary of the Catholic Board, Mr. Hay—
“If the public,” says the Dublin Evening Post, will pe
ruse the following letter with the same feelings that we
have, they will be satisfied that any attempt to describe
our emotions would but wrong them.” We use the
same expressions, but with far different feelings. The
following is the letter:—
“Dear Sir—The very judicious and conciliatory pe
titions from the Catholic Clergy and Laity made me(if it
be possible) more anxious than ever to lend my feeble
aid m support of a cause, which you well know l t^ve
most sincerely at heart; and therefore, in spite of age and
infirmity, l went to London, on purpose that I might be
pruent in the house of lords on the 21st of last month;
nor do I repent of having taken this journey—no man
cquld have conducted the important business committed
to his care with more discretion, more zeal, or more abil
ity than lord Donoughinore did; and we were, in fact,
victorious. Pass some few months (for I wilt not say
tears) and we shall be completely so.

If victory to the Catholic cause be so boldly and open
ly apticipated, it will become the Church of England to
look to itself. Let the ministers of it be no longer supine;
let those who are members of it awake at length to the
danger with which it is surrounded. And if its minis
ters and members be active “and stirring with the lark,”
the closing prediction of the bishop of Norwich will be
6ignally and Utterly defeated.— Courier.
It was noticed some days ago, that an application had

OF SOU i ll AMERICA.
Boston, August 22.
Captain Handy from Cumana, communicates the fol
lowing. Sailed June 28, left no American vessels: was
.embargoed at Cumana 69 days on account of an expedi
tion fitting- out against the patriots. The expedition
consisted of 16 sail, brigs schooners and gun boats avera
ging about 10 guns each, sailed ttie 25th of June inquest
ofthe patriot fleet, supposed to be ofi'Guir . and captain
Handy obtained permission to sail the 28Ui. About 50
persons of the first respectability in the place, applied to
captain Handy for a passage for Porto Rico, but the go
vernment would not grant passports for them.
Cumana was still in possession ofthe royalists, when
captain Handy sailed, but the patriots were at Curracoa,
about 5 leagues distant, marching for that place. The
governor and every other person capable of bearing
arms, lutd been obliged to take up arms and marched to
stop their progress. The force under the governor con
sisted of about 2500 men and boys. The fleet was man
ned (to use captain Handy’s expression) with the great
est number of scare-crows lie ever saw, that ever assum
ed the name of sailors; and it is the opinion of captain
Handy that an American sloop of war would capture
whole of them. It was reported at Cumana. that
the whole of them. It was reported at Cumana', that
general Morillo was at Carracas, on his way to Cumana;
but as the report bad been current for 2 or 3 months,
but very little credit was attached to it.
The Americans at Curraccoa were treated in a con
temptuous and abusive manner. Captain Handy would
advise all Americans trading that way, to go well arm
ed.
Executions took place almost daily at Cumana, and it
was shocking to humanity, says captain H. to witness
the barbarous and shocking treatment the patriots receiv
ed whenever they fell into the power of the royalists per
sons were daily aprehended as spies, and as being favora
ble to tiie c . se of the patriots; they received a mock
trial, were sentenced to death, taken to the plains (With,
out the city) where they were shot, and them bodies left
for the crows to feed upon.
An instance of cruelty and inhumanity took plate at
Cumana, while captain II. was there, which had disaffect
ed a great many people with the government, and on ac
count of which it vast thought they would not oppose
theapprOnch ofthe patriots, but bn the contrary, *' ou * d
join them—it is »s follows:— • .
“At Cumarnt, June l?, 1816, was witnessed a most bar
barous act. A female of one of the most respectable fa
milies in Cumana, for littering some expressions against
the government, and. speaking in favor of the Patriot par
ty, was t&cl to a jack ass, attended by ten soldiers, led
through the streets, and at every corner, and opposite tiie
houses of her dearest relatives, received a certain number
of lashes on the bare back, proportionable to 200, the
number she was sentenced to receive. W hat rendered
the punishment still more disgraceful, the person who
inflicted it was'a large negro, who, when her long beauti
ful hair m some degree defended her delicate skin, the
tmhuman wretch removed it with one hand, that the
lashesinfticted with tiie other might cause more acute
pain. The poor sufferer was blindfolded, and bore the
inhuman treatment with as much fortitude as ever was
exhibited on a similar occasion. _ .
“Her cries were feeble, but I saw notwith standing the
handkerchief that concealed her face, tears strickiing
down and failing on her breast. I saw but one dozen
lashes inflicted, but some of my crew, who were on shore,
had the curiosity to see the whole of the sentence put in
execution. Mv Feelings were too much hurt to let curi
osity overcome them, t made particular enquiries res
pecting tiie unfortunate girl the day after, and was in
formed, she refused ali medical aid and food; a few days
after I was informed she was dead, being from her acute
feelings unable to survive the disgrace site had suffered.”

New-Grleans, July 26.
You will oblige me by giving a place in vortr Gazette
to tne following account of the captivity which I suffer
ed in tiie Island of St. Domingo. I hare no other view
in giving publicity to the circumstances, than to lestify
my gratitude to the magistrates and officers of our ex
cellent government, whose anxiety for the welfare of its
citizens is unceasing, in what clime soever they may be
placed.
C In the pursuit of a lawful commerce, 1 left New-Or-
le(fiis in the month of February last, for Cape Henry, in
the Island of St. Domingo, as supercargo of the schoon
er Rebecca, belonging to Messrs. F. Duplessis, jr. and
John K. West, merchants of this city. The captain of
the schooner had, unknown to me, received on board
despatches for the government of St. Domingo, from a
certain C. Laroche, who had lately arrived at New-Or-
leans from France. These despatches were delivered to
an officer at the Cape on the 28th of February, the day
of our arrival. On the 5th of March, I was arrested and
conducted before the governor of the Cape for examina
tion, who questioned me at great length in relation to
Laroche’s despatches, of which I had'not the slightest
knowledge. But nothing I could say could remove his
suspicions that I was formerly an.inhabitant of the Island
and iiad come hither as a spy in the pav and service
of France. From the governor an officer conducted me
to prison. The rootu in which I was confined, was suf
ficiently spacious, and 1 was permitted to receive through
the grating the clothes and provisions, which the mer
chant (Mr. Beasiy) to whom I had confided the con
signment oi the vessel, had the goodness to sc nd me from
time to time. On the 28th of May, I was transferred to
a dungeon, seven feet long by five in width, into which
tiie air and light were admitted through the iron grate
about eight inches in circumference; they had deprived
me of every thing but a miserable mattniss, a shirt, and a
pair of pantaloons. As to my food, it consisted of a bot
tle of water and a cake of Cassave; this allowance was
brought to me every morning, except tiie two last w eeks
of tny imprisonment, during which I was sometimes two
or three days without receiving my miserable ration.
A consciousness of my innocence, and a hope that a
inercitul Providence had not abandoned me, alone sup
ported me unfler the weight of my misfortunes. I was
often soothed'with the idea that news of my captivity
would reach my country and friends, and that the best of
governments would extend its arms to relieve me from
the distant and gloomy dungeon, in which fate seemed
to have condemned me to end my days; In this hope I
was not disappointed.
On the 25th of June, the doors of my dungeon were
opened, and an officer, accompanied by a guard, ordered
me to come out and follow him. The moment of mv
deliverance I thought was come—the period of mv suf
ferings w ould soon terminate: I imagined they were
