From Kby Wbst.—By the arrival of the pilot-boat Voxation, in fuur days from Thompson’s Island, we ire sorry to lenrn that the Island continues very unhealthy. Of about one hundred and twenty Inhabi tants, fitly or sixty, about one-half the pop ulation, remained sick—the complaint gen erally fever. But one United States schr. the Fox, was in port. Among the rumors of the day, it is as serted tlmt Mr. Southard, the present Sec retary of the Navy, muy go to one of the South-Ainerican republics, as minister, and that Mr, Sanford, of Ncw-York, may be invited to to the Navy Department.

Gen. Lafayette has accepted the invita tion of the President of the United States, to take pnssnge for France in tbo new fri gate “ Brandywine.” This will be finishing the gratifying at tentions paid to the guest of the nation, du ring the past year, in a manner worthy of him, and of the nation. It is a compliment which will he appreciated in Europe, and add to our character as a nation. The Gen. oral will remain until after the 11th Sept, in compliance with the wish of government, to be present at the anniversary of the bat tle of Brandi wine, where he first abed blood in fighting for the independence of these U.

The Commodore was asked if lie had ob jections to any of the Members oftlio Court, when he requested to read a paper which contained objections to the Judge Advo cate, and ' xpressed his satisfaction with tile members. The Court being cleared for deliberation, decided that lie had no right to object to the Judge Advocate, and the Commodore’s paper, together with the Judge Advocate’s opinion, was recorded.— New-York, July 5—The anniversary of our itiilopendence was yenlorday cole- hrqtod with more than ordinary festivity and splendor.

They contain details of the pro ceedings of tile Spanish authorities iu Cuba, concerning the late attempt to make that island independent. Tlie number of per sons implicated were no fewer than 8000, the number proposed to be arrested for trial, 600. A large majority of the latter found means to escape. The Mexican papers warmly urge the policy of their govern ment sending troops to effect tho emancipa tion of Cuba. The latest accounts from Giiyaquil, sta ted that the Spanish Commandant of the forts of Callao, being convinced of tho en tire defeat of the. Royal Armies, and the hopelessness of Ilia master’s cause, in Peril, had at last agreed to capitulate and deliver up the castles. The Insurgents at Sacrificing, had sub mitted—twelve of their ringleaders wore shot.

The late message of President Monroe was published about the middle of March, and received in the most flattering manner. The governor of the province of Saha had addressed a commitnitnlion to tho min inter for foreign relat ions, in which lie says, that since the revolt, of the important pro vince of Cochabamba, and the occupation of La Paz by the Liberator of Peru, the royalist general Olaneto had confined him self to tho town of Pofosi. and the imme diate country, and iu speaking of this gen eral’s obstinacy, he refers to a late procla mation of his to the people of Upper Pern, imputing had faith to Bolivar, and dissolute- ness to the Colombian army, ami invoking them to adhere to their king and religion.-76.

Yet, notwith standing these additions to tbo annual ex penditure, says the National Journal, the revenue of the Post-Office Department, which has for some years past been inade quate to the expenditure, will this year, we understat'd, in conBcqucnco of the new Biodns of'biisiness introduced by tho pro fit Post Master General, be fully equal to the ex ponses, and will probably somewhat pxcced them.. pose, as they gave out, of attacking the old Spaniards: but it is generally supposed they intended to massacre all resident strangers, without distinction, nnd plunder their property, a considerable quantity ol specie having lately urrived iu town. Thr troops and principal inhabitants were up nearly all night, under great anxiety, until tlie ringleaders were arrrestod, nnd sent in ijonson board tho guard ship, to await their trial. In other respects tlie country was very tranquil. The treaty with Great Britain, recently ratified by the Congress of Mexico, places the trade between the two countries, on a footing of reciprocity. “ By an “ additional article,” it is agreed that “ any privileges which it may be con venient for the United Mexican States to concede to Spain (the only power that could protend to any which Groat Britain might not have) shall bo in no mnnncrex elusive or prohibitory, and be limited to a determinate number of years.” Latest mom France.—Paris papers to the 25th and Havre to the 27th of May are received by the arrival of the ship Lewis, at New York. The news, by this arrival, from Greece, is of a more encouraging cha racter than that which wo published on Thursday, and which was obtained from the Smyrna Spectator, at all timea a source of doubtful authority. It appears by this intelligence, that they had obtained’a signal victory on Banter-day over the Seraskier Reschiel Pacha, &. com pelled him to retreatto Janina.

It was at once concluded that this clunisey denizen of the deep, had by some means got tin* cable in his mouth, and slip ping downwards by it, bad reached the an chor, taken it up, thus becoming a “ fisher of men,” and wns making the best of his way seawkrd, at thu rate of ten knots, puf fing, blowing and spouting liko an alder man over a howl of turtle soup and a bottle of Ci.ft, ague. In this perilous predicament, after a brief consultation, one of the best marksmen was placed at tho extremity of the bowsprit, armed with the fatal harpoon. Eoniewli.it tired with his sport, Mr. Leviathan settled down in the customary way for relaxation— and the vessel appeared to remain stationa ry. Presently, a breach of the waters un der the bowsprit, announced his second em ergence. By the flushing light ofthe waves alone the harpooncr took aim, and lunched the deadly weapon upon their unwelcome convoy—who instantly sunk, again to rhe only to encounter un additional blow. Ex-; aspera’ed by this severe pricking, and util, retaining his hold upon the great Jish hooh\ his Blubber Majesty spluttered and floun dered, and bolted in ail directions ; while the undaunted lancer at every convenient opportunity, inflicted fresh gashes upon his antagonist. Iu this mnnner the contest, was maintained for some time ; when, ex hausted with unavailing exertion, the fish cleared himself, and our sloop was again at anchor. At day-light it was ascertained that the vessel Imd been dragged during this fray five miles from her moorings, towards a ledge of rocks. In the course of the fore noon, the whale itself, utterly defunct, wns thrown upon that ledge; whith er some of the sloop’s crew repaired in their boat, to examine and cut up their vic tim. His mouth was found to he much la cerated on each side, probably by the fric tion ofthe cable, which, together with the anchor, were found on weighing to be whol ly uninjured. The whale measured thirty nine font in length, but afforded only a small quantity of oil. The foregoing relation we had verbally ...... , Tim writer ia a man ol mtellqfi'nce und veraritv, and not being hiniHiiH'eiipaged in tlio tru'dc. could have no motive lor misrepresentation \V« sincerely regret that the commerce hereto, fore carried on between Missouri and the Internal Provinces, and which has been „ source of so much profit and jfljvantage to those enterprising citizens who have eii B1 . ged in it, as well as to tho slate, does not appear to hold out sufficient inducements to continue it. We have no doubt, hem-nr that our persevering citizens will penetnie into the rpinntest. provinces, anil seek new markets, and that the trade will not be ft. nally abandoned until the whole count.'* has been explored, and every source iriiin which profit could be derived, has been hausteil. The following is the extract above refer red to:— I will only say, that in my opinion, no person is justifiable in taking goods here, nt this time, with the expectation u fsoiling |„ t more than 100 per cent, and dial lor mill-a and horses.

Skillings & Co. of Cape Hoyticn, under datoof22d June, have been politely communicated for publication in the American. u By a new Tariff which was published here this morning, the duty on flour is aug mented to jj2 60 per barrel, on Rice to Jt 50 per 100 lbs. and on Mackerel it is reduc ed to 72 cents per barrel, to take effect on and one of Lite lumbar, und a bone answer ing to the eocygi* in our anatomy. The V' ric'i.® are sound and corresponding in size toihe largest bone; the protuberances of tho Vertebra are three feet in extent; they lead to the supposition tiyit the animal had considerable protuberances on the back; the body o! each Vcrtabnu is nt least twen ty inches in diameter, and ns many in length —the tube or calibre, for containing the spinal marrow is six inches in diameter, some of the arterial ami nervous indenta tions. or courses, are yet visahle. There is a bone similar lo our os calcis, one foot in length and, l suppose, eight inches in dia meter. From all those circumstances, it wns evidently an aninial that surpasses any that history has made us acquainted with in the animal kingdom. If tho skeleton wns collected, and the bones all put in entire it would compensate ns for a pilgrimage at least to Mecca. Whether it was herbiffirous or carniver- oiis, aquatic or terrane ous, we cannot de cide; yet, we think that Doctor Mitchell hook ? Latfst from St. Duminoio.—'We learn by the schooner E!iza-Pigg«at. captain Da vis, in twelve days from the City of Do mingo, that, it was reported that a piratical vessel was seen near the Island Saoni, south side of St. Domingo, and near tho Mona Passage, and that tho government was about to despatch a vessel in search of her. Markets at St. Domingo were completely overstocked with all kinds of American pro duce. An immense quantity of mahogany hno been lost upon the coust, in consequence ofthe incessant rains. A number of Eng lish and Dutch vessels were lying iu port waiting for cargoes. Severul vessels had been upon the const for mahogany, and had returned to the city with but very little on board. We subjoin two extracts from the Frank lin (Missouri) Intelligencer, outlie subject of t he Mexican trade. The first details the progress—if that can be called progress which amounts to merely an outset ofthe large trading party from Missouri to Santa Fe. There appears to have been some dis cordance amongst them, if wo may draw such an inference from the early separation ofthe party. The safety of tlie expedition can only bo guarrautced by its superiority iu number over any vagrant tribe which it may encounter ; and wisdom should huve suggested the propriety of keeping the hotly entire. Tlie statement relative to tliq fall ing off of the trade at Basso del Norte has not taken us by surprise. Such will al ways be the case in a new and limited mur- ket, when enterprize has just discovered it. New vent* will soon carry off tho superflui ty ; and the traders will penetrate further into tlio country, and find new markets.— We presume mules, at 100 per cent, profit on the goods given in exchange, would not be a bad speculation.

A letter from Cincinnati gives the fid'ow- ing interesting anecdote, nccasimiiMl by tlie visit of General Lafayette to tlmt ci:y “ While tlie General wiy» descending from tho stage where he had listcued.tn tlia oration, an old woman advanced n stopar two up the stage and met him, seized his hand, and asked him if he rccidlcctcd a woman who on enteri"g ilw gstcvfOhwrz prison in Austria, presented him a bowl »f milk and a cake?—Tim General replied, that he did recollect tlm circwstunce well, as it was the last act of kindness lie icceiv- ed before entering tho dungi on. She tlwn suid,.‘* I am that woman.” The general ap peared much affected at tlio occurrence - This wowan, it seems, was a seller ot trait and cukes in the street and having astoiid nt the prison gate, she saw a person brought forth guarded, who appeared to be of some consequence, and much exhausted, slnnd- ferod him the little present mentioned with* out knowing who he was, and she declared she neuer knew who he was till she recog nized him on the stage a moment before.
