Nil t>7 SAVANNAH EulDAY MORNING, Al’Ull. 4, 1823. fatul MeUtnl.—Mr. Edvard Barnard ww killed on Wednesday last by the acc 1 dental discharge ofhia gun, while outahout ing in the neighborhood of his residence or Skidaway Island. He mentioned that hi was going to hunt rabbits, and from bis *ot returning when expected, a search was commenced, which resulted in the disco very of his lifeless body with the gun lying beside it. Piracy.—Jamaica paper* ?bav*bcen xeived in Charleston containing ths partlcu - jars of two atrocious piracies, committed up. on the schr John, of Kingston, Jam. and brig Prompt. The first named vessel'was boarded on the coast nf Cuba by a schr. under American .colors. The usual modes of extorting mo ney, such as hanging, flogging, and roast ing, being tried and having failed, the pi- 'ate left them with a promiae of reluming in the night to burn the Vessel and crew t which caused the Captain and b'iB men at night fall to take to the boat, in which they escaped. The Captain of the Prompt wbb slightly wounded with a knife, to enforce t confession of what money was on boardi but not having the desired effect, he was robbed of his stores, cloaths, fijo. and ten £asks of wine. Captain Cushing, of the brig Cubs, at rived at Philadelphia, states that the Pi ratcsfiltedouta.boat from Matanaas; and bad captured the British schr. Enterprise and massacred all hands on board exccp{ two females, who were landed to leeward. A letter from an officer in Commodore Sorter’s squadron to the Editor of the Daily Adrorliser, dated at St. Thomas on thtWkl ult. states that the atcarn brig and schooners, during the passage of 27 days from Norfolk, behaved extremely well throughout two or three heavy blows, end that the officers and men of the Bquadron Were all in health. The commodore had despatched the Shark, with the Ferret, Terrirr and Weazcl to cruize off the island of Porto Rico, and the rest of the squadron wag 'mmediatcly to follow. After adjust- ing affairs there, they were to proceed to Cape Haytien, thence to Malanzaa, and fi lially to Thomson’s Island, to tefit'for ano ther cruizo.

To arrest their career by force, would confer a benefit upnn the government of Spain, which is eventually answerable in indemdity, for tlieif spolia tions. la it nut therefore far preferable io suppress the privateers, than hereafter be compelled to enter into tedious and pro voking unniriferak-a with Spain i Against the firmer alternative, she will be scarce ly disposed tn complain, after the conces sion shf has made to England. We might indeed aak, whether that delicacy is to be commended, which would continue to ren der us the in jured and complaining parly, rather than tout Spain should find a pre text to complain without aity real cause / llis very probable that Qaptain Po.ter would be able to accomplish the reprea xioo nf these commissioned pirates, with- oo any ud Jitional expense or difficulty; at least he could do much towards it, •Pri*«ilm«i/.--The Grand Jury in Phils- Jthia present as nuisances, the great num. her of tippling Iioubcb, d am shops and dancing lions- a in the environs of the ci-yi they present the insecurity of the prisons, and thcTleiects of the Penitentiary system; they also present the wunt of regulation and character among pawn brokers, and contend that the evil would be mcliurat- •a by the loi-ntation of a Pltilan ht'opic So ciety, under the pair mage of the legis lature, to loan money in small sums on deposit of pledges.

In addition to these a public dinner will he provided for those who lose feasting ; a ball or concert in t ic ov.-mug for luoau who love siusic and tlghiiing." A commercial hotise in New York Ims received a letter from the Collector of the Customs at Ttirka Island, stating that from the 23d December last the tonnage money of two shillings unit slkpettcq sterling per ton is no longer levied on American ves sels arriving there. The city inspector'of New-Tork has re ported the death of 3,231 persons during the last year, viz, 997 men, 695 women, 837 boys, and 703 girls—consumption-624. yellow fever 165, drowned 56, intempe rance 44, suicide 13, There are now in New-York eightyJhrce churches, chapels, and places for public worship,classed ns follow-si—Episcopalian 151 Dutch Refotiscd, 9; Presbyterian, 15i Associate Reformed, 5 ; .Methodists, 11; Baptists, 81 othci denominations, 20. General Antonio Valero, his lady and two children, Francisco Hernatz, and Ge neral Mcnuilia, all iif the Republic of Co lombia, sailed last month from Ncw-gfork, in the Georgetown Packet, for Laguira. A gentleman in Providence hsvihji an acceptance ol upwards of 600 dollars to pay at cite of the banks, put the Bt. n into his hat, according to his usual custom. Oo his way to the bank,the wind blowing very hard,he prudently withdrctji'^qje.t )*»>* t" a safer siituation. As soon' ,48 the bridge, a gust of wind ppei.,^... id '.'fail ha' into the river. He has, however, the plea sing reflection that although he has lost his hat, lie has Saved both his money and credit. There are eighty Churches and plat-ea of worship in Philsdelnhia. A young man in Philadelphia was com mitted to prison for having attempted to set fire to the panorama in Eleventh-street. He was committed on the evidence of the watchman who is well acquainted with him' The streets in New-York arc said to be itvan exceeding filthy state, and unless the dirt js removed,mother unhealthy summer isan'icipated. We see in the Eastern a ml South ern papers rumma of the intention nf the President to appoint one citizen Judge of the Supreme Court, and to offer in another a high appointment nl a diff-rent sort. All this may be very true , but, tf the President has really disclosed his purpose in these respects it could only have been proclaimed in the newspapers through a breach ol confidence. It is for that reaaon, Ilia' we generally discredit and distrus these annunciations of intended ap pointments. Intelligencer, From South America.—We learn by the arrival ol the schr. Swan, from Rio tie Janeiro, that the embargo which had existed for three weeks tvas raised on the 10th ol Jauuary. The Imperial squadron, under the command of Captain Jewell, cotnpnsd if two frigates, two sloops of war, one brig aud one schooner, and a larger transport with 600-troops, sailed Jan 29, supposed lor Bahi-.n The S. when one day out, abreust of Cape Trio, passed within gun shut nf four ship.- uf war, presumed to be the same, standing to the northward. The accounts from Bahia of the 25th of January, continued to be lavura ble.fur the Imperial Party. The city was still closely besieged by the Im perial troops, and as fresh proviBiri g were almost tinstaioablc at any price it was thought the R-iyal forces could* not hold out long; Fowls were vei ling at 4milreas; Turkics, 9 each) ireshbeetl milrea aotl upwards per pound. The consequence was that the troops were in a very sickly state, and the sailors of the Royal squadron being obliged to do land duty, the vessels of war were converted into hospitals. Bread and salt provisions were not wanted. At Rio affairs were quite settled, and '.he government much occupied iD regulling the Navy and Military De- partmfnts. Markets for American produce ve ry bad, and that of the country exor bitantly high, and the currency very much depreciated. Letters had been received from the River of Plate, of the 7th of January, stating the prospect for the crops to be very favorable. The Franklin 74 was parted compa ny with the beginning of December, offValparaiso bound fur Callao, where the Dolphin was hove down. ' - We received by the Swan, Rio pa pers to the 30th of January,but they do not furnish any news. «iV. !’• Gaz. 25th ult. The National Gazette contains a lran*latiou of a decree of the Vice President of Columbia, dated 20th Jan. which declares; That,the natu ral products and manufactures of Spain, her Colonies and Dependencies are hereby absolutely prohibited being admitted in any maimer whatsoever .t any of the custom-liny an., pf thp Republic 00 days from the plililicai lion of ttiis prevent Decrnk t I'll such neutral cossets ns in violation ot the foregoing article may iniiutluce or attempt .In introduce cargoes con sisting ol 'he said productions nr mn nuliictures shall be warned lor the fi it tiinoof the tenor nf the present Decree, in order that they may pro ceed to some port without the terri tory of Colombia, and in e lse of their' turning to any of our ports with the same articles, nr others of a like na ture on board,the vessel shall be con' demued fur th-- benefit ot th-- public service, and the cargo burned or dcs ■ troyed. FROM CURRACOA. -Capt. hours, of the brig Morgiana, from Curacoa, brings files of the Cou- rant, published at that place to tlyi 22d ult. extracts from which are giv en below. k The report which we published some short time ago (hut the persons who were concerned in the expedi tion of Decoudray Holstein had been condemned lobe imprisoned for thir ty years, proves to be at least prema ture , when the Morgiana sailed, their trial had nut been concluded, and it was supposed'(hat their punishment would be light. The schr* Astrea, Dorkay, of Port land, arrived at Curraco.i on the 22d ult. from Beibursts. On, the 7th ult. captain D. was captured off Bohaire by a Spanish privateer, mounting 1 gun, and having a crew of 22 men.— They took out his mate, and most ot his seamen, robbed him of his books, charts, clothing, djv- and ordered his vessel to Porto Cabello. When on 'lie point of entering the Imrbor, he was fortunately re-can'ijrat-d by the. Bolivar, commodore Daniels flag ship On the approach of the ship, the pri vateersinen took to the boat and mud their escape. Com. Daniels treated captain D. in the mqat gentlemanly manner, and kindly supplied him with men to proceed on his voyage. His mate and seamen are now prisoner* at Porto Cubello. The commotion- sent in a flag requesting the delivery of life men, and even went so far ' to propose on exchange, offering tw Spaniards for one them s hut Morales refused, saying that they were pri -oners, and must be tried before they coultlbe liberated. Prom Curran Paper,. The letters from Puerto Cabello, received during the week, are of the 16th and 18th inst. Their contents are not of much interest. The tul lowing is a summary. The Colombian cuipp is formed in thg Savana of Santis Lucia. Apiece of artillery has been placed in the old powder magazine, and another in the Tiincherun. Nothing worth noticing had been Undertaken by any party. On the morning of the 11th, the Colombian squadron re-took an Amo- rican vessel. On the 18th, His M.-jesty’s brig Swallow, with the vessel under her convoy, passed Puerto Cabello, for La Guayra, ' General Paez had marehci! from Valencia, leaving in the line of the Sa yana of St. Lucia 800 men, infaqtry anti cavalry, Two Columbian corvettes and a brig were in Bcrburata. They Imd fired some -liol in the direction of Puerto Cabello, but owing to-the distance, withou' effect. An arrival from St. Martha ha- brought account-, that while Genera: Montilla was organizing his troops at Rio de la llach-, in order to attack Maracoybo, intelligence wa- received that the town of Cienaga h»d revolt ed, He immediately despatched Col. Rhimbolil with the Tiratmres, wh succeeded in restoring tranquility. O tile 3d January a revolt look place in St, Martha, which wa- headed by tome Catalans and Ind'ins, who inutl- themselves master of the place, O- this intelligence reaching Gen.

Many Catalans Spaniaid-, and toherv have been punished’in an eximphi ' manner; and on the 20th Jan. oitlt't was compietelv restored. On the 25th General Montilla re sumed his operations against Mara caybo, having left a coinpeleni garri son in St. Martha. Gomez, the In dian chief, is stated to have been kilUd by Sardoz.

Baltimore, March 25. Cape Haytien—By the arrival «' this port yesterday afternnnn nf the schr Fawn, in 10 days from Cape Haytien, we learn that on the 20th of February, between the hours of two and three o’clock A. M. two very se vere -hocks of earthquake were felt at the Cape. The first »33 SlluUt one val ol fifteen or twenty seconds, the second -hock wss felt winch lasted about half a minute ami was the mint severe. It fortunately caused no dam vge at the Cape. At Gonnives the shock tvas so severe as to shake (he tiles off the lumsrs. By the arrival of the London Tra der, Captain Ansley, at this part from Canton, which place -lie left on the l-t ut Doc. last, we learn that the amount of American proper ty destroyed by the late fire at that place was about the same in the ag, gregate as had been previouslp rep resented , but that the number ol buildings consumed, instead uf 11,000 did not exceed 4500. .

A meeting was held at Liverpool, on the 7lh ult. at which the Mayor of the city presided, to take into consjd eraliqti the propriety of enlarging the harbor of Holyhead. It was at.itcp by Mr. Gladstone, that since the im- provcmcnls nintlc some short time back, by the government the advanta ges derived from it were very great- In 1821, aixhtudred vessels had put intothut harhmtfor safety, in tempes tuous weather jjtnd in 1822, the num her thus bem.fi ted, trading to and from the port gllLiverpool alone, was three hundred aid eighty nine. The icct.MMnuilations.nl' the port were still however, very inadequate, as vessels of a heavy draught of water could not enter it.-f-Thc meeting unanim ously agreed 'to petition the Lords of the Treasury no impose Jil. per ton on vessels trading to and from foreign ports with Liverpool, anti Jtl. per ton on veasels trailing coastwise with Liv-' erpool, for tlje purpose of paying; the interest on the money advanced, for deepening and improving it.

A remarkable family is mentioned i-i a late London paper, as reaidiug near Gilford—a woman of the name f Punten, now 96 years of age, whose ihughtcr is the mother ol 16 children, one of whom (a daughter) bus had 16 I children, one of whom ulao become the mother of 16—consequently the old lady has 16 grand children, 16 great grand children, and 16 great great grand children,all living.

Theatre. —Sheridan'* popular five-act Melodrama of Piznrro, was produced on Wednesday evening, tihd the combined .tren^tli ol tragic talent wus never mote efficiently exerted. The nolla of Mr. Finn ranks among tho highest specimens if hint 1 onic art. The author or aduptcr uf lie play ha« sprinkled tlve part most plenti fully with what is technically termed clap traps, and sentiments which recommend Themselves—} et, in those scenes where su perior acting is required, Mr. Finn dis played powers which can only be inherit ed by genuine genius. His appeal to the parental feeling of thecentincl, his parting with Alonzo, the wakings of apprehension and anxiety depie'ed on his countenance teat Alonzo bhoul l he intercepted* his ago ni2t d struggles between pride am) friend ship wi cn preparing to throw himiclt at the lect uf Pizario, und the masterly man* ucrof his death-scene, merits the lurge ahare of approbation which they obtained. Mr. Robertsons' Fizarro muy he classed among his best efforts—Nature has given him many personal advantages, and gifted him with corresponding qualities uf mind, that he has no competitor nt those charac ters Mr. Moreland mistook the meuning of the parting interview with Pizarro—it is the subdued, yet dignified expression of resignation, not the loud exclamation of passion " o'erdoing termagant." Mrs. Hughes acquitted herscif admirably, aiid her representation might rest its claim to pre-eminence upon that single charac ter. MiisTilden's Cora wanted energy, par- ticuUrly in ihe part when she goes to seek her |husband, hut the pathos which she threw into S'une sentences amply atoned for the lack of force. . Shakespeare's Othello is fixed for repre sentation this evening, nnd we anticipate much from Mr Finns Othello. We shall have Hr. Hughes in lego, Mr. lioberlsoq iri Cassia, Mrs. Hughes in Etnelia, and Mias Tilden in Dcsdemona, and although reluc tantly we must dissent from a contempo rary critic m supposing the latter charac-* ter would be benefttted by alteraliun.- he fine bold, and energetic acting Mrs. Hughes, will render Emelin justice, which it would not receive from the more tender, but equally beautiful represents* .lions which we are in the h*bit ot witness ing from Misi Tilden, Wc would advise a close attention to the business of the scene by all concerned in the subordinate characters.
