BBIT.1L or TKB rntCMTE CONGRESS
Norfolk, Wr 10.
A* conjectured in oar Jast, toe Urge
(mnl iliip which w»« boating op into the
Rat'ls «n. Wednesday morning at ten
o'clock, is the United States’ frigate Con-
. cress, commodore Sinclair, just returned
from her vi*it to South America.
Four regiments of British troops, with
55 piece* of cannon and 1700 stand ofarms,
had recently arrived at Margaritta a* an
auxiliary to the patriot army, and been
aent to the Oronoke. Tlie*e regiments
were all commanded’by British officers.—
A fine. sl»op of war of 20, guns, ; *|s" com-
mandedby a lieutenant of the British navy,
.^jb reived their a few days before the Con-
Egress sailed, for the porprfse of joining the
squulron of admiral Bri.ro, or otherwise
no.opvrating with the patriot forces, as
might be mint desirable.
The patriot flag waved victorioua wherev
er the Congress touched and the idea of
Spain ever being able toprostrajteagain the
spirit of independence which animated all
cls-.se* of society, was considered futile,
in Ihr extreme, The reject and cordiali
ty with which our commissioners were
welcomed, by the public authorities and
-•people, at all* the places which they visited.

were every where held, «ave a strong as
surance, that they properly appreciated the
exalted privileges £ur the maintenance of
which they had embarked their lives and
-fortune*.
The ye'omanry of the country are repre
sentcil as a hardy, independent race *nl
people, and sufficiently intelligent for all

of liberty is zealously inculcated among
the rising generation—and a martial spirit

Mr Bun-sia,
So munerotu sad contrsdictaqr are the account*

It may be termed • foohsh old fashioned enthu
siasm, but really all nest of adversity, on the part
of the Patriots, is so afflicting to ay lieart, that
were I a republican editor, I would never give cir
culation to any maters of disaster, until they were
reduced to (as Mr. Jefferson says) true facte I',
is not enough that those reports are anenrvrds
proved to be untrue occause they will have operat
ed in the mean time, to prevent all sorts,of av-ist-
anee being rendered to those who are endeavoring,
to -ay the least. diheir effjrta, to throvtoff the vilest
species of slavery.
f am not contending that the account in the
Democratic Press i* not correct, but you will per-
eeive that my letter is one day Uteri that it re
written With great candor and intelligence, and
does not represent the cause of the Patriots in a
light to gloomy and hopeless as Mr. Dinoa* cor-
The people of Venezuela deserve, not cold, un.

any people display more constancy, or undergo
greater privations. Yet are they left by the whole

the assurance of—sympathy.
July 11. .
Further from South America.—In addi-
• tion to what appeared in yesterday’* Bea
con, a* the result of our enquiries upon
the arrival of the frigate Congress, we have
been politely favored with several memo
randa made on the spot, and have convers
ed with intelligent geutleftian who cainc in
the Congress. From these sources we
fcave derived the following particulars of
the state of the patriot cause, and such
events of an interesting character, as took
place during tho visit of the commission
ere. ....
The Ontario, captain Biddle, with judge
Pievosl on board, was still at Valparaiso,
- from the last accounts, nut on the point or
•ailing, their stay having been longer than
expected. The manly and liberal deport
ment of these gentlemen, during the gloo
my and distressful period preceeding the
aplended victory of Maipu, has elicited
the warm approbation of the _ merchants
in Chili, as well natives as foreigners.
The Portuguese still hold Monteviedo,
• but cannot venture out of it to forage, ex-
/ 'cept in strong bodies. Their army ha*
ever,been kept petit up within it* fortifica
tions by so small a force as two hundred
men. Artigas and the patriots of the Ban
da Oriental, wisely profiting by experience,
have substituted for pitched battles, and
regular military operations, that pattizan
warfare, which, renderingdiscipline (other
wise so formidable,) unavailing, places up
on a footing of equality raw troops and re
gulars. The Portuguese, in fact, hold no
more of a country, they have so unjustly
... iuvaded, than what they actually occupy
with an armed force.
A short time previous to the arrival of
the important news of San Martin’* victo
ry, one of the commissioners, the honora
ble Thcodoric Bland, set oft' for Chili,
whether on business or amazement we do
not know, as it is not stated in the presi
dent^ message, which seems to contem
plate,. that the comraissicftiers should only
pass along the southern coast; and it being
expected that they would.all return togeth
er. From the circu mstancWof judge Prevost
having already visited Chili as a commis
sioner, it i* probable, that judge Bland
visits that interesting and delightful coun
try merely as a traveller, we are at a toss
to conjecture what else can be the object of
his remaining in South America.
The accounts front the Spanish Maine,
are highly fcvorablfe to toe patriot c*u«-
- it was reported that Monlto had died in
consequence of a wound received at the
battle of Calaboso. .The desertions in this
quarter among the patriot* have ceased.—
Margaritta is completely fortified and
could repel any attempt that the Span
iards could tnsv.e on it. General Aris-
meadi, second in command of the troops
of the seven united provinces, has fixed
hit bead quarter* at Margariita, from
whence be directs the movement* of the
different patriot armies of Cumana. Barce
lona, Cameras, Four complete Bri
tish regiments have reached the army of
Bolivar in Guyana, and have beeen incor
porated with it. A formidable array is in
the vicinity of Santa Fe de Bogota, which
it is expected will anon fall. Brjou’s fleet
has been latelv augmented by a frigate,-and
than is no doubt of a loan of four hundred
thousand pounds having been negotiated
by the united government.of the Spanish
Maine, with toe merchants of London.
Gsueral Artigas, who has taken postes-
fioit of the country back Monteviedo
mad Maldonado, is represented at a sin-
*J£&i triead to the p«rj«t cause, and wt|H

“Sin—The United States’ ship ILrnet
having called at this island for a few days,
on her passage towards the main, 1 had,
during her stay, the pleasure of her com
pany and conversation of our mutual good
friend —, esq. at whose particular and
repeated request, I have taken the liberty
•if addressing, and, at his solicitation, of
communicating to you form time to time
such interesting information as may com*-
within my knowledge, more particularly,
such as relates to the situation and pro
gress of the contending parties on the
southern continent.
Pro... tlic proximity or this island to the
seat of war in the Spanish revolutiona
ry provinces; its nearly central situation
between the windward and leeward isl
ands; the advantage it derives from ad
mitting an unrestrained intercourse with
all nations, and affording an eligible mar
ket for the disposal of their product and
manufactures, attended with but it trilling
expense, it has become the great emporium
from whence the neighboring colonies,
more restricted in their commercial privi
leges, derive their principal supplies, and
affords facilities for acquiring the earliest
and mnst authentic intelligence of tin/
passing events; it is however, much to I*
regretted, that the contracted policy and
limited view* of our colonial government
tends in a great measure to defeat the more
liberal and enlightened intentions of,flu
king, by whose ordinance this was consti
tuted a free port; this policy his been uni-
f..rmlr ami indu*trina»l v directed against
the independent party, ’whose flag is ex
cluded Irom the harbor, and whose armed
cruisers have been in several instances,
captured by Danish vessels of war, and
condemned in this port, whilst the Spa
nish flag is freely admitted and protected,
the natural consequence of which distinc
tion has been, that several Danish mer
chantmen have been captured by the injur
ed party in retaliation. Notwithstanding
these obstacles, a pretty regular commu
nication is secretly maintained with tiie
ports in possession of the patriots. From
these circumstances it may reasonably
be concluded, that but little reliance should
be placed in the various reports ofthedny.
th -y being generally altered or amended
agreeqbly to the wishes or the interests of
the reporter.* The present prevailing
report is, that the patriots have abandoned
their position at Calobosa, and retired six
leagues Irom thence, where they still re
mained on the 22d olt. say 700 cavalry
and 300 infantry, the situation front
whence they tetired was quietly occupied
by the royalists under Morales, who, it is
said, captured three pieces of dismounted
artillery, left behind by the former. This
rumor i« founded on an official communi
cation from .Morillo to the government of
Carracas, and is probably substantially
correct; he also states in his despatch that
there arc reasons to believe Bolivar deed,
if so, it is an event not much to be regret
ted, a* from his general character I should
infer his existence in command would ra
ther retard than accelerate the progress of
the cause lie had espoused.*
With regard to the ultimate termination
of the contest, a variety of opinions are of
course entertained: for my own part, J
have no doubt of the final success of the
popular cause, though I tear the period of
that success is yet very remote; a great
variety of causes tend to protract that de
sirable issue, the most prominent of which
may be found in the internal feuds which
unhappily subsist amongst the leading
characters, a misfortune always attend • it
on governments imperfectly organised and
composed, as it is of men of every coni-
ilexton, climate and profession. Second-
y, the want of education, and consequent
ignorance and bigotry ol tbe lower orders,
evils which, experience has taught us, it is
difficult and tedious to cot rect in periods
of the o.ost profound tranquility, how
much more difficult then must it be to pro
mote the cwltirition of the human mind
in the turbulent and busy times of a civil
warfare, certainly thi* improvement is not
to be looked for tit the turmoils of % camp.
Another, and yef more powerful reason is
[-V«te ly the recover •/ the Utter ]

at St. Thomas, says; “The last accounts
state that our army had been increased by
4000 men, and I calculate by this time
they are abont 10,000 near the Caracas,
not including the forces under general
Paez and Cedcno, and my presence off lh>-

Extract from a Despatch from Admiral Brian to

“Being in these seas with the greater
part of my squadron, I agreeably to orders
inform your government that the ports of
Cumona, Laguira, Puerto-cabello and

declare him a pirate, and as it would be
very desirous that lie should be apprehen

to intercept him. I communicate this
information, wishing to preserve harmony
with the different governments in amity

The brigantine Mexican Congress, of
12 guns, captain Parker, having on board
commodore Aitry, came to anchor off
Frank*-key yesterday forenoon, when rap
tain P. cam- ashore to request permission
from the governor and admiral to come in
to port, for fie purpose of obtaining a sup
ply of provisions anil water.
’The Mexican Congress is, we learn,
from the Nona passage, where she had
been cruisisg for some days, but without
making any captures. The squadron un
der admiral llrion were left at anchor off
the Five-Islands, and the vessels attached
to commodore Aury’s division had been
detached to cruise in different directions.

Permission having been granted to the
Mexican-congress piivateer, captain Par

intention of entering, but shortly after slie
suddenly hauled upon the wtud, stood

with which we are unacquainted, proceed

To the annoyance already offered to the
trade of this cvloa^br u>» piratical now to
windward, we are sorry to have to add the
capture of the schooner Two-sisters, of
this port, on the 29th ult. between Bonaire
and little Curacoa. The captain of the
pirate, after having taken the owner and
master of the Two-sisters on board of bis
vessel, kept cruising with her from eight
in the morning till late in tbe afternoon,
when he sent a party of his men ou board
of her, who hauled down the colors, and
sent the crew on board the pirate, which
about sun set was brought to au anchor un
der Bonaire, where the crew of the Two-
sisters wmje put on shore. The owner re
mained Bn board the pirate tilt seven
o’clock in the evening endeavoring to get
his vessel j-elcased,.but all. on treaties or re
monstrances proved in vain, the captain
having told him it was the wish of hi* crew
to make a prizeqf her, and he was therefore
obliged to. comply -with their determina
tion. The Two-sisters had on board a car
go of wine, cotton and coffee, besides dif
ferent other articles, and 448 doubloons.
She had proceeded from the Main with a
cargo of mules to Gaudaloupe, from thence
to Puerto Cakello, and was on her way to
this port when captured. A Spaniard,
passenger on board the Two-sisters was
detained on board the pirate.
May 16.
The Spanish ship Manuel, of IS guns
and 35 men, Jaime Gerona, master, bound
to Barcelona, in Spain with a cargo of cot
ton, indigo and cocoa, sailed from Puerto
Cabello on Saturday last in company with
an armed brig and a schooner, utid about
noon the same-day fell in with the piratical
vessel which has given so much gnuoyance
to our commerce,ind a schooner^n compa
ny, suppose* to bo the Two-sisters, of this
port lately captured. < The privateer hav-
iug brougfrttae Manuel ts action, the other
fasted from one o’clock in the afternoon
till nearly MttL - When the Manuel hav
ing caught fire, she unfortunately blew up.
The privateer waaat that’moment in toe
act of hauling off, having lost her bowsprit,
and sustftine.il wveh damage in her rail*
and ntnop ®f the crew of the
Manuel escaped m the boat and landed at
Bonaire, from thence they were conveyed
to this island in the government schooner
Dolphin, which arrived here on Tuesday
last.

Porto Rico, bound to this island, with a
cargo of tabasco, the master and crew of
which were on board of her daring the en

From London Papers.
--.The faUwing jwts extract of arfe’b
front Parftf tlatef the 4th instant:—“A
curious anecdote has just reached us from
the country. General , commandant
of the military division of ■ —s had been
for some considerable time past, violently
in love with the wife of an humble tinman,
of the town where the general resides.—
Great difficulty attended the meeting of the
lovers, owing to the distance «>f tbeir situa
tion* in life, aa wall as the huaban J’* vigi
lance. However, Mrs. Block-tin contriv
ed it with her lover on« night, to order the
husband, who belonged to the national
guard, to do duty on a post, at some dis
tance from their dwelling; which would
keep him out all night, when the gallant
was to take possession of tbe lin-shop and
every thing in it. All went on as could be
wished, but when the lovers tho’t themselves
in security, a knock came at the door. It
was the husband—he was taken ill, and
was brought home, where he certainly was
not expected. The general had just time
to take his clothes, and secrete himself in
some part of the house, for out of it lie
could not go. The husband got into his
wife’s bed, complaining of violent spasms.
His wife strongly urged him to go himseii
to the apothecary’s to get some uiedeiine,
which he did. Upon his going out, the
gallant soon made bis escape from durance.
The husband having purchased his medi
cines, he was about to pay for them—he
put hi* hand in his pocket, and to bis great
astonishment, hb pulled out a good heavy
purse lull of gold, which certainly he knew
•lid not belong to him; and on looking at his
pantaloons, he saw to his great grief that
they also were not his own. Upon reach-
home, he insisted upon knowing who was
the owner, of the pantaloons, which the
wife soon informed him. A trial against
the general and his frail one, for adultery,
is to be instituted, and it is expected that
if the general should be found guilty, will
be chashiered. You see our notions of re
li—ion and morality differ from your*. J
oelieve no general in England, who runs
away with another man’s wife, is ever dis
missed the service un that score.”
PRINCESS CIL1RI.0TEE.—DR. CROFT,
An actual catastrophe was mentioned
in our last, on which we say a word or two
here, inasmuch as it is naturally supposed
to have been connected with a melanchol-
ly public event. We allude to toe death
of sir Richard Croft. Some of the papers
congratulate themselves on having had no
•'land in this gentleman’s death, because
they abstained from agitating the question
respecting the princess Charlotte’s delive
ry. We can easily conceive that some of
them abstained out pf every good feelings;
others did so out ol merely political ones;
but though we do not happen ourselves to
have said any thing on that particular mat
ter, we can as readily conceive that those
who acted otherwise, had motives equally
just. The matter was a public one certain
ly; though how far the agitation of it could
do good, was questionable. We always
p'lougbt, we confess, thatair Richard should
tave had another physician with him, a» the
harties were so young and thrusting, and
none of their relations were near them,
which strikes usa* much more extraordina
ry than all. We think so still more, now
that we hear he was a very nervous tnan,
and grown somewhat too old for bis prac
tice.
But what he has suffered must do away
all resentment againstbis memory; and the
responsibility of these things should lie
upon higher persons, who have power to
order and oversee what they please —
When Maria Louisa was to be delivered,
Bonaparte himself chose M- Dubois for her
man mid-wife out of a long list of practi
tioners; and the chief reason he observed
was that Dubois had firmness as well as
-kill. He also said ath : og to him, whichaH
royal families should recollect—“Tre»t
my wife,M. Dubois, precisely as you would
treat a common citizen’s; aud I, who am
most interested in the succession, will
stand by you, and bear von out, in all you
may think proper to do. 5 ’ He did so; the
birth, which really happened to be a diffi
cult one, was quite successful; and young
Napoleon is one of toe finest boys to be
seen. We suspect that the king, who with
all his infirmities hatl a good deal of com
non sence, acted upon the same principles
in these cases as a man of genius did; and
we *as|iect furthermore, that had lip been
sensible of what was going forward, or able
rather to supply whqt was not. going lor-

one-witness; the charges against hint; were
1 st, for assisting the Indians; 2d for being a
spy. v
Humanity must shudder at the recital ef
this atrocious trial and result Had this
young mae been captured fighting in the
ranks of the Indian army, he would have
been entitled, at least, te the benefit ef a
prisoner of war. • With respect to the
second charge, it is too ludicrous t6 require
an answer; can r. spy be captured .in a
friendly territory?
The American government have long
pursued a spirit of sanguine hostility to
wards the weak, defenceless, aborigines of
the soil; and if it were true that this young
man was aiding them, he was acting in a.
noble pursuit; and which was marked by his
stern demeanor at the place of execution.
The Indians have no newspapers to
sound forth their woes; they have no friend
to advocate their injuries. We only hear
the cries of one party, and that for ven
geance.
it is not longaiuvc, if I rcooltcct right,
that this same exterminating general, took
an Indian prophet, prisoner of war, and
immediately caused him to bo hung; this
no doubt, was a prompt mode of putting a
period to his prophecies; but I-prophecy,
that the time will arrive when Mr. Jackson
will have to atone for these cruelties, for
the sacred law of nature'will not justify
such conduct. •. . *
The American troops have taken posses
sion of Fort St. Mark, in East Florida; and
general Jackson was on his march for
Pensacola, the capital of West Florida,
to take that place also. Hostilities have,
therefore, commenced on the part of the
United States against Spain, precisely as
Bonaparte entered the European Peninsu
la, when Spain was torn by factions, fo
mented by toe very invader. The Ame
rican government' have long had emissa
ries in the Florida*, as Bonaparte bad in
Spaiu; they have lately sent three flam
ing incendiaries to South America; to pave
the way for further encroachments. These
two acts resemble each other so exactly,
that it is impossible to seperate them in
perfidiousness. Many of the pages of his
tory are already black enough, but those
which will bear the records of these trans
actions will excel in the depness of hue.—
The French jacobins-at the commencement
of the revolution, disavowed all intention
of foreign conquests; but almost at tfie
same moment, they conquered the Duchy
of Savoy, and the county office fromthu
king of Sardinia, 'and immediately incor
porated them with’the new republic, as
they did Belgium the lollowingyear. The
congress of the thiiteeh colonies also dis
avowed conquests; but they instantly sent
an army against Canada, a province which
evinced its hostility to rebellious princi
ples by the expulsion of.the enemy With
every attribute of disgrace. Now the
peaceable provinces of Florida are invad
ed; unfortunately fur them, their mother
country has not the nervous arm of Great
Britain to extend ita protection; but other
powers may feel an interest in opposing
this infamous usurpation.
