Of tint truth of iu—
A report of « very extraordinary nature,
in which, we It pe tor much reliance is
pUced, is in cii eolation iu the District ol
L'nlumUifl, regaiding one ot the causes of
the late dis.istera to the patriots iu South
America. It is said that a royalist gener
al £Outerac|ii<ib-ibiy3 by certain meatis
obuxtetl an ati.oiuauce on board uf
one »f our ships of the line—and was fre
quently allot tied an opportunity of going
munro a* a coino.i sailor, in which Chaise
ter lie wai enabled to ascertain the precise
siniati.in ami conditon of the patriots. Ha
sm-* understood tliat the black troops at
one of the fortresses were in a slate of dia-
qiietude, owing to the backwmdness of
their pay, he succeeded in bribing them
(with large sum* of money, of which he i9
suit) to have beuu quite lavish.) to revolt,
which th *y did, iu the course of a night,
and thus the royalist, by previous concert,
gained possession of the place with but lit
tle dtficulry. The commander of the 74,
wasiiif irtnrd while on shore, by Bolivar,
-that if caught again f out his vessel he
should be instantly hung. On requiring an
explanation of this threat, lie was referred
(o his government, on hisariival home. Of
the strict coriectness of the foregoing we
pretend not to know. We give the report
just as we hear it from almost eveiy
body’s mouth. We forbear to give any fur
ther particulais, upon such authority, as the
subject must, in time, come before the pub
lic, III proper from; nor should we have
no-iced it thus far, did we not beheve that
we have only do te what others would soon

The death of Lord Byron has left,#
Chasm in the poctital world of Europe,
which it i« thought the United States will
have Che honor of supplying It is report
ed that the editor of the National Gazette
is a com|»elilor for the vacant buy* which
lately encircled the brow of the deceased
LumI, and if »o, there can be very little
doubt of hi* success—at least in his own
opinion ■ This is supposed to be the reason
why the Edit-r of the O ze-te received om
hint of hi- fitness for the Mexican mission
so coldly ; he thinks, no douot, and very,
truly, ’hat fi-st rate poets are more rare
than good plenipotentiaries; and as his
qualifications for the latter are indisputa
ble (f-*f he tells U9 he has by him still the
republican recommendations he obtained
for the office some years ago) he thinks
there is nunehonor tube gained by beating
ail competitors in the othe* field, where so
few excel The report derives some prob
ability from the fact, that Editor ofthe Gaz
ette ha* been lately Iryinghts poetical pin
ions,in divers essays of blank verse; (Lord
By •on began verse,) and it is centainly
n<>t contradicted by any diffidence in the
Editor of his own powers.—»Yaf* Int.

JOHH I. ROBERTS, City Treasurer.
Upon an examination of John I. Roberts’ City Treasury books, we find that his
charges are correct and agreeable to vouchers produced to us, that the balance above
stated to be in the Treasury at this date, say j^enty-four dollars and forty-four
cents has been exhibited to us and is in confornBbvith balances produced by the
balance sheet of his ledger and by his cash booK^Sontniiring receipts and payments
from the 10th July 1823 to the 10 July 1824.

INCIDENTAL CHARGES.
For four days past, a public debate has
been carried on in the Universalist Church
jn Lombard street, Philadelphia by the
Rev. Mr M'Caufey, of Kentucky, and the
Rev. M- Kneel ana, of this city The for
mer gentleman, we believe, is of the Pres
byterian denomination, and the letter, one
of the pastors of the Universalist Church
The point in dispute was, whether the pun
ishment of the wicked will be eternal or
not.
Three clergymen acted as moderators.
The parties met twice a day, and were en
gaged in the debate two or three bouts, at
each meeting, speaking, alternately, half
an hour at a time. During the greater part
of the debut*, which was closed last eve
ning, the house was crowded to excess.
Nut having been present at the discussion,
except for a short time, we cannot pretend
to express any opinion relative to the man
ner iu which the disputants acquitted them
selves.
It is said, that one or mere stenograph.
,er* were present, taking notes. It is,
therefore, highly prbbable, that those per
sons, who had not the pleasure of enjoying
the squeeze, will soon have an opportunity
. ofs«*ei .!> the substance of the debate in
print. American.

Piracy.—The owners and masters of vessels
and the merchants and others engaged in com
merce with Mataneas, citizens of the U. States,
have addressed a petition to the Secretary ofthe
Navy, praying for the adoption of some more
efficient measures for thetr protection against
piracy. After enumerating a number of recent
captures, the petitian states, '*that,in the hum

count ofthe disturbance, which took place there
on Uie 2d ult.
“The General, who arrived here from Rio,
arrested the Pres.dent and Junta, and commit
ted them to prison The next day, another go
vernment was elected by the people, an! was
qualified. The troops rose on the night of the
4tli of June, liberated the officers, who had been
imprisoned, and compelled the General to flee
for iiis life. During the skirmish in the barracks,
his brother and a soldier were shot — 1'his du
turbanee has created an excitement among ail
classes, and ha* put a stop to all kinds of busi
ness.— The troops are now quiet, so that 1 am in
hopes it will pass off without any further distur
buuce Sales dull—Flour fromi 6000 to 6400.”

MR CItAWFOltD.—The author of a small
work entitled “A Winter in the Metropolis, 1
•peaking ofthe diff erent candidates for the Pres
idency, thus notices Mr. G
“A tall, athletic, fine looking man was pointed
out to us as the Secretary of the Treasury. He
was familiarly conversing with some gentlemen
in the room, and seemed to be very plain ,and
unassuming,
•‘Mr Crawford, ’ *ays T “is a gentleman of
excellent mind, and amiable and conciliatory
manners. There is nothing repulsive and haugh
ty about him, and, though from a Slate where
slaverv is tolerated, he possesses all the simpli
city of repnolicatiism, and exhibits, on all occa
sions, the man of good sense and intelligence.
Mr Crawford lias filled several public stations
with the same ability which he evinces in the
presents and hi* powers of mind are such as to
fii him for the faidiful and able discharge of the
duties of almost any situation in publiclife. But
what is still more a matter of commendation, he
is, I understand, indebted fo> the elevated rank
he now-holds, to his own individual exertions
and enterprise, and how much higher he will
ascend, time alone can determine; out there is
no situation in this government, however exalt
ed, that nature ami study have no . qualified him
to fill witti credit to himself, and minor to his
country.”'
