Declaration of Frf.f.man Mavo, Master of the brig Iris, of Boston, bound to JVew-Or• leans. November 4. At sun rise, saw tho Tan of Matanzas bearing S. VV. hy VV. aboinu 40 miles dis- jahee, steering west, wind from N. K. At j A. M. saw 2 schrs. steering out from the land to the N. W. : 1 hauled on the wind to the Northward,' found they come up fait, with sweeps out and decks lull of men ; one of them, with Buenos Ayrean colors, tired two tit pound shot over me, 1 then hove to. they boarded me with 0 men, armed with pistols, cutlassas and long knives, fired one pistol over my head in hoarding, drove eve ry man below, and attempted to lack ship, l it could not work the btig themselves, and srdered one half of the crew on deck at a time ; stood in, fur the land, wind to thn eastward.—They acknowledged themselves pirates, and began searching for every tiling valuable, putting my best clothe son. At sun set let go tile best bower anchor, in a 1-2 fathoms water, witliio a quarter of a mile of the beach ; they then drove me with till my ore it into the fore castle, buried us down and strictly guarded us, without any thing to eat or drink. Iliad no idea we should -survive till morning fur want of air. At midnight ordered me into the cabin, where they treated me in the most horrid manner, beat me with their pistols, choaked me, threat ening me with instant death, Hoc. bee. then ordered me back into the forecastle, and called up the cook and hoy and sported with them in the like manner. Nov. 5th.—At day light they cut the ca ble aud ordering me to make sail, beat down tile coast all day. At 7 P.

Nov. 6th.— Weighed anchor again, and run about !> miles further up the bay to the southward, in eo. with selir. Mary and Eli za, Capt. Cole, from Salem, who they cap tured same day with me. They then com menced discharging our cargoes, a hey took from me 100 boxes axes, about 40 casks of nails, kedge anchor and hawser, all mv spare rigging, unrove some, spare and purchase blocks, spun yarn, worming, also, two studding sails, two compasses, most of the cabin stores, about 500 lbs. ol bread, be. He. At 3 P- M. the Captain of the pirates came aboard, and ordered Ins orew, if they did not find more money in 4ne hour, totmurder every one of in, & burn the vessel. I begged for the long no d and some bread and water, to proceed to the Florida Coast. He said No I would send an American man of war to detect bun , he did not mean to spare one ol us. One ol •he pirates more human than the rest, I). g Jtd hard for my life : the captain told him to do his duty, or he would l ike Ins hie in stantly. 1 then proposed to go to Alatau- r.19, and get money to ransom our lives and the vessel—he hesitated a few minutes, then said he. would give me 3 days to go and re turn with ,$8000, or he would burn the brig and every soul aboard, he then took me aboard of his piratical schooner. Nov. 7th.—Carried me within 6 miles ot It stanzas and put me intn n boat. I arrived in tow n at l P. M. I called on the Governor, he would not assist me ; the American Mer chants did not think proper lo raise any money to treat with the pirates ; the Ame rican masters then agreed to muster a force from their own erevvs, go down and engage them. Capt. Watkins of the pilot selir. riuugjiboy, of Philadelphia, offered Ins ves- seUnd services. We put aboard her one eighteen pounder, 50 muskets, a few pistols, oullasses, &3C. and mustered about 30 men arter getting ready some began to discour age the expedition ns not sufficient torce; smiic of the sailors began to di op off and li- Jnally gave it up. Nov. 8th.—l went ashore to consult what could be done; soon after I landed, 1 saw the U. S. schooner Alligator coming into the Bay ; [ hoarded her as sunn as possible, and stated my situation to Capt. Allen ; be was pleased to assist me, and immediately about ship and stood out of the Bay. 1 apt. Watkins in the I’loughboy, with a few A- merican sailots, followed alter the Alliga tor. Nov. 9th.—Found ourselves directly off tile entrance of the Bay, between Stone Key and Point Yeilfna, with 3 American Vessels, and one of the pirates in sight, lo anchor; thr Americans proved to be the ship William and Henry. Captain Drew, from N. York for New Orleans; the bug Sarah, Morrill. ofB.iston. for New-Orleans: and sehr. Nancy ami Mary, Capt. Moor, from Bust,m for Pensacola, (captured th slay previous.) We found the piratic sehr, to he making sail, and sweeping u| the Bay. Capt. Allen found it impossibh to overhaul him with the Alligator, he there fore immediately order'd the boats, hoisted ■eut, manned and armed ; also put about 2 Tiieu on hoard the Plmighhoy, and ga» ■chase; the pirate hoisted a Patriot flig, and ■fired a gun to Icewaid ; we soon perceived ranoltier of their schooners bearing out th 1 bay to assist them ; we received several (Ires from their eighteen and nine pounders, with out any damage ; hoarded the largest; they all tied into their boats, and a number of them were killed and drowned. Wo left the gig’s crew in possession of the prize, and proceeded to board the other, but they had too much the advantage—their decks full of men und musketry. Capt Allen received his death wound, with 4 others, and several wounded ; we were obliged to retreat to our prize, thinking to come up with her ; but the guns were dismounted, and in such confusion, that Lieut. Dale ordered her out the Bay, and gut on board the Alligator, and nt h P. M. came to anchor close by the Irist found her ashore with Iter other cable out; tint a soul on board; by assistance from the Alligator, I arrived in Matanzas two days with the Iris, ill company with the ship, brig, two schooners and the prize before mentioned. I found my se cond mate, three sailors, cook and cabin boy, and a passenger (Air. Greenleaf) had arrived in a boat, twelve hours before ; they informed us that when the action commenc ed, the pirates were all on board their own vessel. Mr. Rich, my chief mate took the small boat to go and get Capt. Cole and bis crew to assist in keeping them off; they found the pirates were hoarding the Iris, and Capt. Cole and his crew advised taking to the woods.—When they boarded the Iris they discharged several pistols at the crew but missed them ; they drove some over board with cutlasses, and into the boat. After all the crew were in the boat except one, the second mate rose upon them, hove two pirates overboard, and shoved oil with the boat: the pirates hove every tiling at them they could get hold of, but did not kill any one, though every man was more or less wounded. Mr. Rich, the chief mate, with Capt. (.’ole and his crew arrived in Ma tanzas two days after having travelled nil the way, and suffering very much. Lieut. Dale of the Alligator took my papers, with the four others, and ordering us for Char leston for adjudication and to settle the sal vage, fee. FREEMAN MAYO. The pirates were handsome coppered vessels, of about 90 Ions; two were armed with an 18 pounder midships, ami two long nine’s ; the other w ith one 18 pounder and 6 sixes. The coast was literally entered with wrecks of vessels, trunks, goods, See. Y rcgul ir trade was carried on with the merchants in Matanzas, who were inhum ed nf every capture, and purchased the car goes, erasing the murks from the packages and substituting others id their stead. A man arrived at Matanzas from their ren dezvous the day before capt. M. sailed, who stated that they had two men hanging at the yard-arms of one of the sclirs.; and that they’ had determined to destroy every A- meric.m vessel they met with, and iiiut- der their crows. Capt. M. parted w ith the convoy on Friday last, off o.q>e om...... vernl. The Alligator and her prize are destined for Norfolk. PORTUGAL AND SPAIN. New-York, Not. 11. We are indebted to a friend for the following interesting letter addressed to him from Lisbon, by an intelligent Ame rican, who enjoys peculiar advantages in that city for obtaining accurate informa tion of the political affairs of the coun try, observing the manners and customs of the people, and acquainting himself with whatever would he likaly to arrest the attention of a stranger in quest of knowledge. The letter was writteu to a friend, and probably without the ex pectation of its finding its way into the columns of a public journal, hut it will be not the less interesting to our readers on thnt account. Lisuoiv, Sept. 11th, 1822. Dear Sir.—IVe arrived here on the 5th of last month, and landed on the 9th of the same, after u most happy passage.

Nothing can be more fallacious than the partial and prejudiced nccounts which travellers have given ol this, anJ indeed I might sny ol every country, and of none more than our own. I find the people more moral, apparently, and evidently more clearly civil nnd tolerant than I have been taught to expect. 1 will not under take to give you any just nnd ndequnte idea of them and their country till 1 have learnt the language, und have seen more. The language appears to be very easy to acquire, as it certainly it very agreea ble to the ear. 1 have got so ns to read the newspapers with the help of a dic tionary, and begin to speak the language. I have viewed some ancient and noble churches and convents, but have by no means seen all or half of the beautitul and vast works, even of that kind, which Lisbon has to attract and reward the at tention of a stranger.

These enormities are excused, it is true, un der tha specious veil of subversion of diller- encc of opinion and overthrow of the state ; but, sire, where is this subversion and diffi r- ence ol'opion truly tn be found? It is in the ministry, whose interests are incompatible with those of the nation. ’Tis tho ministry, sire, who are ambitious of governing in your name, without submitting themselves to any rule or responsibility. Their objectis, to assume all the power in their own hands, and to exercise a tyrannical despotism.— They wish, in short, to alienate your Majes ty from the people, demonstrating that your interests are different, when, in fact, they are perfectly identified with each other. Sire, wo do not pretend to establish new forms, nor of deviating in the smallest de gree from those already sanctioned. We wish that tile laws do govern, and not mere caprice—that government have ouv happi ness for its end, not their own aggrandize ment. We wish to impress upon your Ma jesty, that we are not gniiled by a revoluli : unary and innovating pirit, hut on the con trary, by the most ardent desire for the wul 7V*e ol* ny years, your precious life, fur our own happiness. Soto de la Marina, 26th Sept. 1822—Se cond of the Independence. [Here follow the names.] By the brig Junius arrived at Philadel phia, a Kin de Janeiro Gazette called the “ Gorreio Extraordinario,” of the 21st of Sept, was received, containing official decrees, announcing the entire Independence of Brazil of the mother Country. The editor of (lie Correio re marks that the mysterious veil has been at length withdrawn ; and recommends patience to the people and military, un til the 12th of October, (the day fixed for the coronation of the Prince Regent, at J.nr.jr of the Jiritsils) when tllOV may freely indulge their wishes and their joy. Tho following rhapsody fel lows the decrees : “ Citizens! The God of Nature cau ses America to be Independent and Free — The God of Nature preserves for Brazil the Prince Regent, to be lie who shall consolidate the Independence of this vast Continent. Why do we wait ? No-v is the time. Portugal insults us— America invites us—Europe contem plates us—The Prince defends us. Ci tizens put forth your joyous acclama tions.

By the Perseverance, arrived at this port on Tuesday last, we received from our va lued correspondent at St. Jago, the follow-, ing interesting communications, containing important commercial information, together with some account of tho distressing ship wreck, on the coast of Africa, of a Spanish slave ship, and the loss of upwards of four hundred lives. Extract of a letter lo the editors of the Bos ton Patriot, dated “ Villa Da Prays, St. Jago, Sept. 13, 1822. “ Gentlemen : 1 improve till# opportunity to send you a list of the vessels touched here, tic. since last reported. the Gold Coast is now closed thirtij-cne counterfeited 20 dollar noted on the Brunch at Newberp, making to* gether 0,340, were found coucealed in one of their trunks by means of false or double sides. The notes were fresh from the (dales and remarkably well exq- cuted. After a thorough search and ex amination they were fully committed for trial. The punishment for this offence in Virginia, is confinement in the Peni tentiary for a term not less than ten nor more then twenty years. Although there is reason to believe that there are many others engaged in thn same neta- rious business of which Graves and Cleary now stand charged, and proceed ing from the same hue j yet the detec tion of two such ageuts with the seizure of so large a sutn of counterfeit note*, must be matter for public congratulation. These notes differ from tho genuine mostly in tho quality ofth" paper which is very thin. The false notes purporting to be on the Farmers’ Bank of Alexan* dria are not well executed, as will fur ther 'appear by the following article from a Baltimore paper, the notes refer red to which was probably passed by the above named gentlemen, as the descrip tion exactly corresponds with such note? found upon them here.

We observe no thing in it worth noting except the following letter relating to the Alligator’s late action, and the fate of her noble commander. “ Matanzas, Nov. 11. “ The gallant Allen (commander of the U. States sehr. Alligator) is no more. You saw with what activity he set to work tn liberate the vessels which hud been captured off this port, lie arrived in time to save five vessels, which he found in possession of a -ang of pirates in the Bay ofSignapa, 15 lca"aie9 to the windward of this port. He "elf pierced by two musket halts being in the’vanguard of a division of boats who were attacking the principal pirate, which was a line schooner of about 80 tons, armed With uni’ 18 pounder on a pivot, and four guns, with the blood) llag nailed to the mast. “ Captain Allen survived his wounds lour hours, behaving with a calmness and firm- nes of character honorable to him, and con solatory, in some manner, to In* friends.-— The governor of this place, together with the commander of the Spanish Brig of War Matte, (of whose conduct the officer of the Alligator speaks in the highest praise) arc tnkiog tricaaurtis to pay tli« lunenil honours, vvInch will take plaee to-morrow. Loss of the Alligator’s two boats—the com mander Allen, Hz two men killed ; two men mortally wounded; & three severely wound ed.” The fate of the gallant Capt. Allen, of the Alligator, bus excited tho keenest regret, and deepest feelings of abhor rence towards Us authors, in the breast of every member ot this community. May his death have the effect to open the eyes of our government to the necessity of demanding from the Public Autbort- iesof Cuba, protection for the lives and property of our citizens, li Lhey cannot, or will not, guard their phores and their soil from position by these Buccaneers, other nations must do it—by adopting the onlv possible means of putting an end to tlie’ir villainies—that of landing and est ablishing military posts upon the island, a the vicinity of their haunts ; and by hanging up every vagabond in Havana, Matanzas, itc. who shall be found in pos session of their plunder. In this busi ness, the good old maxim should be rc- gurded—“'the receiver is as bad as the thief.” News of the Death of Capt. Am.es was received aud published at Havana on the 14th inst. The American ves sels in port immediately hoisted their colors at half-mast, and were followed h V the vessels of every other nation in port except the Spanish /—The Paratical vessel taken by the Alligator was well know to have been fitted out at Regia, in the harbor of Havana.

There is never any difficulty or discontent about precedence in oc.cnpying the floor. The members who wish to address the chair, send their names to the President, and he calls upon them in their turn. Their speeches are not generally so long as nur worthy countrymen make, which I think a verv good quality in them. However, 1 have seen but little, inquired but little, aud read but little, of them, aud therefore warn you to receive my state ments accordingly. The President elected every month, and also four Se cretaries, who tire chosen from among the deputies themselves. 1 never saw move order and decorum or more gen tlemanly feeling* and manners, than ap peered to prevail in tlii9 assembly. The constitution appears to be firmly estab fished, but ils fate is supposed to hang on that of the Spanish nation. Tho latter] lias lntel.v proposed to Portugal an alii-] ance offensive and defensive ; but there are great efforts making at this court to prevent such an arrangement. The mo ney and agents of the continental mem bers of tha Holy Alliance (which may the d -1 take in duo time) are em ployed to prevent negociations in favor of Spain and freedom ; as they are also in exciting disturbances in that Harassed hut heroic country. Ferdinand openly avows himself at thn head of the counter revolutionists ; and it is well understood that he organized and handed tho late conspiracy. Why dont they chop off his head ? Because it would bring in the bayonets of the 11 Holy Alliance,” who would he glad of that or any other pretext for meddling. No, tho constitu tionalists in Spain have (lone much bet- er ; they have surrounded their per jured king with their own party, and popular opinion compels him lo give the sanction of his name and nuthorily to the measures which are taking to punish nnd destroy hi« own friends. There he is He can neither fly for foreign help, (fo his flight would probably furnish the pretext which those holy personages defcire) nor help himself, nor save Lie friends.

In- sjicctor of Ifuspila/s on the west conn oj AJri- ea, to liis friend iii Port Pray a, St. Jago, dated Aug. 31,1822. “ The American trade on the Gold Coast is almost entirely done away with by the ..reclamation ot me wovernor tvencral * merit, and far from us the intention of alter ing nr attacking it—blit we are anxious that it may not degenerate into an absolute mo narchy. We require that your Majesty comply with your oath, and no more. In conformity with this resolution, which we have adopted and sworn to maintain, sa crificing, if necessary, our lives, our fortunes, and whatever we hold most dear upon earth, we therefore supplicate your Majesty: 1st. To be pleased to order tho immediate release of the Deputies to Congress, arrested on the night of the 2iilh of August, and all those subsequent to that date. 2d. That Congress meet at a place of their selecting, and where they muy deliberate with absolute freedom. 3d. That the present Ministry be deposed and tried according' lo low. 4tli That all military tribunals of public, safe ty be extinguished and suppressed, wherever they are already established. fl|h. Also, that every individual in Mexico and the provinces,imprisoned on suspicion, and in consequence of the circular of the first Se cretary of State, dated on the 27th ot the sh'k I month of Aucu-r, be liberated: those who may- lie convicted of any crime, to be tried accord ing to law, nnd by the competent tribunals— and lastly, that the fundamental laws that wc have adopted for the time heing, be observed. If, (which God forbid) your Majesty should reject these just petitions, the demon ot evil and discord will lower on the desolated em pire of Anahauc, and we shall he plunged in a war, whose only object shall ever lie fur the sacred cause of our freedom. We, at least, and all this province of New Santandn, faithful to our oaths, Sc devoted to the cause of liberty, will sooucr die a glorious death in the field" of honor, than how our necks to fierce dr.sputism. We have taken up arms, not against your Majesty, hut against those who, abusing of your name, wish to enclave uS in irons still heavier than those we have just rent asunder—and we shall not lay them aside until we have seen our Congress libera ted, yourself freed from the insidious snares which the vile and designing are laying out to your Majesty, to ruin both you and the na tion—hut above all, to rescue the latter from the evils with which it is threatened. Sire, it is in your power to avoid it—let posterity say that the great Augustin the First, twice saved the Mexican nation. . And whilst your memorialists take into consideration what we have exposed, we shall not permit Don Pedro Josq Lanuza, who came for the purpose, to take the com mand of the province. We do not wish to be under his command, neither for the pi sent nor for the future. Wo approve of the present chief; his virtues ami patriotism on- title him to your confidence—and we shall suffer no other to command us, until wc see nur freedom secured.

The officers in charge, Messrs. Betty and Dough ty, are unhappily among the number of the sufferers. At the time this dreadful catas trophe. occurred, the Ycanam was in sight of the Myrmidon; and from tho violence of the tornado, in which she was upset, any assistance was totally impossible; indeed we understand the first intimation Capt.
