The “ Dixxeh Paiitv."—This celebrated picture arrived here last night in the steam boat Commerce, and we understand will be opened to the view of the public iu the course of this day. At an election hold in the Banking-House in the city of Savannah, on Mondoy, 2d of May, 1826, for nine Directors on the part of the Stockholders, in the Bank oftlie State of Georgia, to serve'for twelve months from this date,the following gentlemen were duly elected, via:— In tho Assembly there nro 79 Farmers, 24 Lawyers, 15 Merchants, 9 Mechanics* ' Among the'prisoners, arc Bin 1 Physician—128- And tlmro wore born wounded, one of whom is their chief ami • M V i. nr, M,«. cals himself Antonio Kipol.

Several persons mi shore, heretofore considered respectable, have been orrosted os accomplices of this gang.

Rockwell, to fill up a vacancy which previously existed in the Board—all the others were old Direc tors- There were no other candidates. The First of May was yesterday cele brated by the Chatham Artillery, tho Geor gia Volunteers, and the Republican Blue?. The day being the anniversary ofthe Chat ham Artillery, that corps fired a salute of 24 guns at 12 o’clock, and at 4 o’clock par took of an exccllentcollation at tho Labo ratory, with a number of Guests, among whom were the Rt. Rev. Bishop England, and theBrigade and Rcgimontal ot&ers and Staff. — » ne infra. . t IlflB directed every other year for half a century, the to- t'Unmount of their investments ; and a share in this canal, which cost only £70, bus re cently been sold for £l.250. With regard to the other, the late Duke of Bridgewater’s there is good reason to believe, that the net income lias, for the last twenty years, averaged nearly £100,000 per annum.” Tho first stenni engine used in Manches ter, England, was in the year 1790. In the year 1824, there were in that city upwards of 200 engines. In the same place, there are now more tlian 30,000 looms worked by steam engines. At the cluse of the year 1814, there was not one in use. In tho estimates of the British expendi tures for 1325, presented to Parliament an item of £ .’50,000, stated to be paid to the United States, ns compensation for slaves, taken under British protection du ring the late war. the Beard of Surgeons sitting in Philadel phia, to examine not only into the profes sional and scientific acquirements, but like wise into the moral character of the candi dates presentiug themselves before the Board, a judicious regulation which should be adopted in reference to candidates for every office under the disposal of the Go vernment. General Lieavette arrived at New- Orlenns at 2 o’clock on the afternoon ofthe 10th of lust month. In no part of the un ion, judging from the descriptions given has his reception been more feeling or splem did, although tho rain poured in torrents the whole day. He was conveyed to his lodgings in a laudau, drawn by six ele- gnnt grey horses. Ho was accompa liied by the civil a id military authorities— he was addressed by the Governor of the state—by the Mayor anil the Recorder— received the citizens, male and female- reviewed the troops—and partook of a dinner in’company with the Governor, the Mayor, and a large number of revolutionary • >d other officers. Among the spectacles presented was a band of ninety Choctaw warriors, who came oxpressly from their mitivo villages to psy their homage to him in whose presence all hearts are delighted. In short, everything was done, which might be expected from patriotism, wealth and enthusiasm. Peru.—General Sncre, under whose itn mediate'eotamand the date decisive victory over the Spaniards was gained, has been appointed by the Peruvian government Grand Marshal with the title of “ Libera tor of Peru.” On the army generally has been conferred the name of” Liberators of Peru the corps of which it is composed are ti receive the title of •• Glorious,” and the individuals that of” highly deserving." magnificent column is to be raised on the field of Ayacucho, bearing the bust of Gen Sucre, and engraved with the names of bis officers.—Marks of distinction are also to be d spensed to soldiers and their families in medals, money, Sec. Poring the Inst year 1024 houses were -built in Now-York—viz. 720 of brick or ytens, 603 having brick fronts, and 401 of wood; of these there are 40 of ono story ]298 nftwostories, 228 of three stories, and 49 of four stories and upwards.

SrstM-Gvi.i.ioT Sea Gull, ThnmptonU Inland, April Is/, 1825. 9m: I have the honor to give you a de tailed account of the late cruize, on which l sailed from Matnnzoa immediately after the receplion of your oMers oftlie 19th ult. taking with me the barge Gallinippof. At Stone Key I met his Britannic Majes ty’s ship Dartmouth, under the command ofthe lion. Capt. Maude; and was inform ed by him, that some of his boat s wore then cruising to windward in company with H. B. M schooners Union and Lion; continu ed our course ami foil ill with them the next evening, at Cndiz Bay. As they wore also in soarcii of Pirates, but without any particular or certain information of their haunts, of which I was possessed, I deemed ; proper to propose a co-operation; it being perfectly understood that I was to have the condoctingof the enterprize. This propo sition was cheerfully acceded to, and re questing that the schooners should not 'onve Cadiz Bay to go to windward within i— - j »n#octt umntmtet ftmrge of Lieut. Rudd, and took with uio, indepen dent ofthe barge, which iVas well manned, two small cutters, with five men in each, nd, in company with a British barge and two cutters, under charge of Lieut. Ward, ofthe Dartmouth, we made the western- most point of the entrance of 8a gun la Grande, where we were detained forty- eight hours in consequence of strong head winds. The day after we arrived there, our water bring nearly expended, the Brit ish barge and Gnllinipper, Limit. Cunning ham, sailed in quest of some, althoughlt was blowing a heavy gale from the east ward. and on the evening of the same day the Gallinipper was capsized in a squall, but, with the assistance of Lieut Ward and his crew*, our officers and men were saved, and the vessel rigiited. She rejoined me with the intelligence of tlit* accident, a few hours after it happened, having lost part of her arms, ammunition and provisions. Not withstanding this very serious misfortune, after pledging myself to procure provisions, determined not to abandon the pursuit of our object, but upon the very last extrem ity ; accordingly, the next morning, the 20th ult. the wind abating, we made anoth er effort, and gained the mouth ofthe river Sngua !n Grande about noon. At this dace I found a fisherman, and compelled am, much against, his inclination, to pilot ua to the Key of Jutia Goi-d.i, one of the places of our destination, and at about four P. M. descried the masts of a ves sel, lying nearly conceal *d by the bushes under said Key ; we immediately pushed for her. and when we approached within hail, she hoisted Spanish colors, and ordered us to keep off, or sho would fire into us, linving her guns trained, a d matches lighted, with which they made several ineffectual at tempts to fire the gun, pointed upon the ad vancing boat—the channel being very crook ed and narrow, the boats grounded several several times : at length one of the British Cutters succeeded in passing the bar, and, as two boats abreast could not approach, the officers and crews ofthe others were order ed to jump ovorbonrd and wade to the shore , where, taking a commanding position, on tho bank ofthe inlet in which she was an chored. and within twenty yards of her. I ordered her commander instantly to come and, to confirm thoir character, if there had been the least shadow of doubt remaining, we found the counterpart of these articles concealed in a thicket, about twenty yards from the vessel, which was approached by a meandering path, and could only be dis covered by a careful search,so cautious were thov in their operations. The following morning, at day light, Lt. Ward and myself took with us three boats, and proceeded to windward, leaving Lieut. Cunningham in charge ofthe prize, prison ers, &c. We soon after discovered a largo schooner rigged “Regia Boat”—gave chase, and ut 11 A. M. the crew* finding we were gaining fast upon them, made for tire near- esl Mangrove Island, jumped overboard, and effected a precipitate retreat to tho bushes, leuving every thing standing, with a keg of gunpowder open, near tho gaily lire, and quantities of it strewed all over the vessel. The powder was instantly thrown overboard, and tire extinguished. She prov ed to be the boat whose crow murdered the B five men belonging to the American brig Betsey, that was wrecked on the Double- headed Shot Keys, in December last. Af ter a long and ineffectual search among the mangrove bushes for the fugitives, wo took the boat in charge and pushed on to the Key la Cusuieru, whence they sailed from in the morning, being their place of resort and establishment. This we burnt, und returned to Jutia Gordu, at midnight, the officers and men being nearly exhausted ; the latter having been at their oars from day-break.

Thu outline which lie tills up this year, is colled his “Memorandum Book" It is spoken nf as not inferior to his other on terinimnoiils.

In tho inenn time a surgeon lias been sent for, who examines the poi sonous glass, and declares that, whatever it cont ains, it is innocent of arsenic. In the end the Call-boy is again produced, when it turns out. that the peccant vessel was not the landlady’s of the Crown at all, hut that the messenger had himself carried u glass for the hrandv ami water with him from the thea»re, and had moreoveraccidentaly taken that which contained the rose pink, mixed to make “ blood” for the murderers in the ensuing pantomime. Every body who knows Mr. Matthews’s acting will suppose the pleasantry with which lie gota through this story. * Supposm Piracy.—A few days before the vessels that last arrived at New Orleans left Havana, a large ship was driven ashore near Matanzas, supposed from the build to bn a Dutch Merchantman, having not a soul on board, and her deck stained with blood. It was generally feared *that the Pirates had murdered the crew, and after plunder ing the vessel, abandoned her.—JV*. O. Adv. Captain Cochrane, who lias recently pub lished in London, a volume of Travels in Colombia, relates the following anecdote res pecting Bolivar. “ At a magnificent public dinner given to Bolivar at Bogota, one ofthe company, when called upon for a toast, gave—‘Should at any * imea monarchical government be es tablished in Colombia, mny the liberator, Simon Bolivar, he the Emperor.’ A high, spirited public character, Senior Pope Par is, then requested permission to give a toast, which being acceded to, he filled his glass, and exclaiming—‘Should Bolivar at any fu ture peri.id, allow himself to be declared Emperor, may his blood flow from his heart in the same manner as the wine now does from my glass,’—he poured the wine out of fQHT op _. m ARRIVED, Brig Traveller, Goldie, 44 4,. .
