The British frigate tphigenia, Com. Sir R. Mends, may be hourly expected at this poit from Jamaica and Havana.— By this vessel the editors of the New- York Gazette, have received, via Hava na, Jamaica papers to the 1st nit. The Iphtgenin arrived at Kingston on the 2,nth July from Sierra Leone, whence she sailed on the 2Gth June. She was one of the fleet which captured a number nf slave vessels on the Coast in tho month of April last, an account of which was published in last Monday's Gazette — From the statement of this affair in the ! Jamaica Courant of the 2Gth July, it ap- [ pears that one ot the captured vessels (the Spanish schooner Yoaman) was up set and lost on her passage from the Ri ver to Sierra Leone for udjudi 'alio: , & all on hoard, consisting of tw o officers, right or ten seaman, and 380 slaves, perished. Another schooner, called the V ecua when taken possession of, had a lighted -- 0 match hanging over the spare magazine and contrary to my intentions, has caus- t hatch, placed there by the crew before ed tho death of General Uomaiii, win they jumped overboard to swim to t lie doubtless preferred thus to bury hist shore. It was providentially discovered crime, than to appear before Judges i by one of the lphigenia’s men, who pul who-o severe equity would have quickly ' ois baud under the butoing wt k and re- unveiled his abominable machinations, j moved it. She had a large quantity of Such lia* licnn the end ol a man, who,: powder on hoard, and it the match had because he fought, as did many others taken effect, 325 slaves, together with REPUBLIC OF HAYTI. Proclamation to the People and Army. JO IN PET Ell BOYEK, Prescient ot 11 nyli: Citizens—Our country was but a short time ago divided and tern by intestine fictions. The traces of desolation are to he seen every where ; we still be hold the victims of those frightful times when ctime was heaped upon crime, and when unbridled passions, overturn irg n hat might have constituted the fiver of 'he ■ outitry, pt epire ! ,m easy «.• — for I)reign enemies who unceasingl m '4oted the destruction of our National Independence. You cannot have firgotlen (he cala millets which have afflicted you for more than twenty years ; you are not ignor ant of tho want of union being the sole cause of all your misfortunes—You nr witnesses, that tiro government, since the foundation of the republic, has not deviated from the route marked out for the amelioration of your condition. By perseverance and good faith, by watch ings and sacrifices, it has dissipated the clouds which were gathered over your heads, it has united, and attached the scattered ports of the State to a common centre, and has formed out of all llaytians only one family, rendering triumphant throughout our island (lie principles of true liberty, the advantages of a wise equality. The prosperous futurity whicli such a change seemed to promise to the chil dren of Hayti frightened its foreign ene mies, and overwhelmed with chagrin those few within it who regarded the na tion as existing only for themselves and who were ever ready to sacrifice it to their vanity and ambition. Thus both conspired against the public felicity, be cause their efforts, altogether directed to ti different end, co-operated to im pede our progress to prosperity. In fact, whiLt I pacified the Eastern part, and that glorious revolution proved to Europe the. force of our institutions and the shameful and fruitless attempts of France against the Presquille of Sa ntana ; Gen. Komain, a man whom on account of his age (and with a vow to sati-fy such as dreamt of our ruin, that no individual influence could overturn the state) I hail rescued from the death he merited for having organized the conspiracy at Gonaives in February, 1821, sent secret emissaries to the North to fitment troubles and augment the number of his partizans ; with what intentions ? It could only he for the purpose of subjecting his fellow citizens and of obtaining the supreme command, by pursuing the path pointed out to him bv Christophe. He therefore maJe use of the same means as the latter did a- guinst the victorious Potion to excite doubts as to bis devotion to bis country. With the exception of a few wretched intriguers, none have become the dupes of the artifices of Komain, who, inure effectually to deceive good citizens, sent in the names ofGen. tiedeon and Luraot- teaigron, a messenger to Gen. Magny, to excite disquietude in his bosom, and tn shake bis devotion. For this purpose the old and ridiculous measure wns re sorted to of spreading a report that the country was sold to the French. Gen. Magny, highly honorable and indignant at the message which had been address ed to him, at tested James Peter Larnot- 1e the hearer of it, and informed me of the conspiracy that existed. In answer to Gen. Magny, I repelled the idea of Generals Gideon and Lamotteaigron be ing the authors of this message, and or dered (he criminal messenger to this ca pital. But General Rnmain hoard of this the moment it reached Lcagonc, “ attempted (n escape from that place in tie ms a prisoner. General Go- (Icon, who was responsible for bis person and charged with strictly watching him, then ordered him to the guard-house ; lie formally refused to obey, and com pelled them to use an armed force, which he also resisted : It is this re- tistance, which, to my sincere regret chase. When within about a league, we prepared for action, till bands (12 men and 3 boys) being ready to defend the ve-sel to the last moment, At sun set she fired a gun, which we returned. Soon after she fired again, when we took in sail, and every man was stationed at his post. She came up on our weath er quarter, within pistol shot hauled up her foresail, fired three guns and inus ketry without hailing us. She appeared full of men. We commenced a fire tip- on her, and in about an hour shot away her lore-yard, and forc-gaft. She then ceased tiring, and hailed in Spanish, which we answered by telling our char acter, and demanding to know his ; they made no reply. IVe commenced firing again—she fired another gun, and stood off’. Capt. Smith, who was on hom'd teceived a musket ball through his arm. At daylight next day , we made, sail, and found our fore topsail braces shot away ; -hot had hulled us, and 3 went through below the deck—much other damage done—3 shot lodged m the ini- zen mas, which with the fore topmast are unlit for further “ervice. The main sail had -18 shot holes through it. \Ve must have killed a good many ol the crew, is we were so near as to her their cries. Capt. Todd, of Philadelphia, arrived at Xilmra about the 22d ult. From G.ta- naja, and stated that several piratical vessels were fitting out there—under a man named Manana, who swore ven geance against tile Americans, and par ticularly against Liet. Stockton, of the Alligator, who had burnt one. of his ves sels. Information was received at Gi bara, that the pirate Febien had been taken and earned to St. Jago do Cuba l'lie pirate L.ititte, was again on the coast, about o leagues to windward nf Nih.ira, in a schooner of 15 tons, and 25 men.—Com. Adv. Curracoa.—A correspondent, under date of the 17th August, writes as follows: '• Thu Spaniards appear to have declared open .ostililies against our enunry. The orig Abeona, of New Orleans, arrived three days ago from Porto Citlicllo, in ballast, a prize to the Hercules, Spanish man of war. She is condemned—and reports that the Hercules lias captured two other vessels, one from Philadelphia, the other from Bal timore. So far do they carry their hostili ty ag ainst the United Stales that the Span ish frigate Leber, 11 guns, recently at this port, had tile impudence to declare, that V»e ivh» bound on n cruise for the O. S. frigate Macedonian, which vessel i- suppos ed to bo in this vicinity.”—.V. Y. Caz.

What would become of England’s territories in the East Indies, if Russia were to get hold of Constantinople, then join the Greeks, the Persions, anil Austrians, the Prussians—probably the French and the Spaniards—and these countries sharing the East Indies between them? VVe believe that all these nations would have no objection to case England of the iin me use territory ; and eveu our good I fiends in the United States might, bv po-ibility, like to share in a slice too.” I he cautious editor we believe need lie under no apprehension as the latter dif- ti ulty he has suggested. If Great Brit tain .should he so disposed, she may drive every T irk into the Mediterranean, orj even the Persian Gulf, without any fear that the United Stales will interfere.— We have no idea of “ slicing” up the East Indies. It is the Commerce of the east—not the land—that we want. In soli r earnest, however, the above ex tract furnishes (he true reason of the friendship of England for the Porte, and their coldness towards the Greeks.— What would eventually Income of Eug- sale, if not correct reading, without (lie I In another paper I read a slory of o number of persons who had brim to a great religious assembly, where the; were vehemently exorcised.

This circumstance, although it has opened the eves of the nation and has called forth additional proofs of their unshaken dis position has nevertheless induced other intriguers of a different class lo believe, 'hat the moment was favorable for the execution of their projects by becoming the complaisant echos of the seditious "ords of General Romain. Public o- pinion has defeated the plans of these |et verse men, and the vigilance ofgu- the officers and men from the lphigenia, would have been blown op. A vessel arrived at Kingston on (be 25tb of July, in 8 days from Chagres.— An embargo had been laid in t hat port upon all vessels, for the purpose of send ing the troop-, lately occupying the Gar- ri-on of Quito, lo the Havana. Captain Driggs, of the schooner Abi gail, sailed from Xibara, Cuba, on the Our African settlement at Cape Mus- surJo, we are happy to learn, from the agent ofthe colonization society now in Baltimore, is in a thriving way. House,* have been built tor the natives by which they will he protected from the rainy s a-on. They are now employed in the. cultivation cotton, indigo and other pro ductions oi the tropical climate. None of them are anxious lo return, and har mony mul good fellowship are generally prevalent. We shall publish to-morrow a metereological table, by wltiah it will be seen, that is but idle sympathy for a citizen of Baltimore to complain of M 'ssurado heats. Another vessel it is expected, will sail for that colony during the present season, and we understand that preparations are now making for that event. We lenrn that our colony is abundant in all the fruits of the tro pical climate—that it is auspicious lo the growth of tea and coffee ; those exotic idols of American enjoyment. These is a place in Cape Messurado, where the natives believe that the devil resides, anJ they were on that account, extreme ly averse to a cession ofthe territory. They occasionally attend, and sacrtlice a fowl, to propitiate the favourable re gards of their forlorn deity. The rm- tires still make Iheir sacrifice, although the Americans have purchased out their right and title to his dominion in Cape Messurado. I low authoritatively have we been told, that all attempts to civilize or to colonize Africa, are heopeless ; that the natives do not possess from the hand of divine providence, intellect c- nough to admit of civilization and refine ment. Out upon such logic—it is trea son to our Creator, a libel on the justice of Heaven; What! are we told, that candidates for eternal mercy on the o- ther side of the grave, were made to suffer nothing but bondage, chains, and suvitude en this !—The prime difficulty is now overcome, and we can hut cher ish the belief, that Americans are now preparing to render to the sable children of Africa, that justice which has been denied them so long. We can but be lieve, that they have, tinder the auspi ces ol divine providence, purchased slaves from Africa, to return them free men lo tho soil of their ancestore. [Balt. .Uont.

Th add, that captain Rich of the latter port, was passing Scio for Smyrna at the time, and picked up the first lieutenant and one sailor, who, with four others, were all the Turkish crew that escaped.

LITERAL ERRORS. .Meters Editors Soma twenty years ago I used to write occasionally for the press, and was thus led lo take a little more notice than common of typographi cal mistake-. I was vexed enough, and ollen, at the trouble given by the blun ders of some ignorant or careless w irn- tnen. and compelled to revise mv own proofs lo give my readers some tolerable chance for ascertaining my meaning — It was about this line that a printing house, under the title of the “ literary office,” was established, vvitii good rea son, but poor success ; for its produc tions were rather more iUcleralc than those of any of its fellow craftsmen. .Since then, l presume, these literary pretensions have been dispensed with in printers, anJ authors left to see to the correctness of their works them-elves. However that may be, I have ha t nothing to do with the business for some lime, but to read the publications of tiie day. without caring whether they were well or ill printed. 1 could not hut s niIn, though, how and then, at the ludi taut- mistakes I continually perceived in the newspapers, generally the extent of my literary researches ; and at length, a few weeks since, commenced a memo randum of such materi d ones as should fall under my observation. The list be ing now full enough, I believe, to fill a column of newspaper essay of a decent length, I send you its contents for repub lication ;—and if you do not smile at some items in the catalogue, you will at least learn Irotn th iti how much impor tance may depend on [the omission or addition of] a single letter. The first blunder I noted vva- in an ac count of a dreadful -torm in France, af ter which “ two hundred & fifty peasants were found killed by the hail,” accor ding to one paper. What an awful d s- truction! thought I, arid how impossi ble !—until in some other papers.

Perhaps the printer did not transpose the letters. times by the latter against the former.! About this time I saw an account of n 20th day of August.

More meant than met the ear in giving full so broad an accent. Flic editor of a -meekly publication, lately inserted the phrase teeakly mis cellany, in sperkmg of Ins work—wheth er though ingenious modesty or ingenious mistake, I will not decide. One of our papers the other day said of a certain celebrated, though some what equivocal military character, tha, on a particular occasion, his retreat be ing cut off, he found no resource but in flight—meaning fight, but vvhetherstumb- littg nearer the fact or not, 1 cannot say. In one ofthe late ” reminiscence-” of the Boston papers, a criticism of Dr. Byles was called a witticism. From the known character of the reverend doctor, however, I presume cither phrase would he correct. But what think you of ten thousand dollars loss on a single “ cup of coffee,” said to be suffered in one of the West India Islands ! Impossible, unless the cup were like the howls of Cleopatra's vine, in which wore melted pearls nf irnmence value. The cearful printed meant to say crop. In a New-Jor-ev paper the teacher of a female academy off ers tn instruct young ladies in the elegant and useful accom plishment of sighing instead of signing.
