The intelligence by the Way of Barbadoes, which we have noticed nbove, is later than our last accounts from England, and would seem to warrant the suspicion, thiwMWMt serious existed betwecnFrance and Portugal, which might lead to a rupture, and involve Great Brit ain, who is bound not only from commer cial policy, but from treaties, to protect her ancient-ally.—.V York Ev.

SPAIN.—A letter from Gibaltar of the 13th Aug. received by the Lucinda at New York, gives some further particulars of the efforts oTthe Constitutionalists to re establish liberty in Spain. The following is an extract: There is every reason to be lieve that a simultaneous struggle has been planned throughout Spain, and if in other quarters they have been ns successful as at Tarifa, "God take good kind Eduard to his merry." Tbe Constitntionulists bare been completely successful tb#e—a strong body of French marched from Ca diz to attack them; they suffered them to advance to the second gate, when they opened a destructive fire upon them und «ie ras is crowded with the wounded French of that expedition. A boat has been sent from this garrison to Tarifa, to ascertain tli- state of affairs there, ayd lias returned witli the particulars, in every respect glo- rii .ts to the Constitutional cause. Even tjic women took an active part against the French. “We have accounts from various parts of Spain, und all combine to show that great events are following apace; but I ; hull repent hothing to you but what is of ficial. Wherever the Constitutionalists go, they triumph completely. The strug gle isdreudful; for their enemies, us they observe, expect little mercy; all Spain is spw in arms, and although the period of revolt is most unfortunate, (just as they were about securing the vintage) they abandon their limited crop for a nobler harvest—the cry is, “viva la constitution, death to the Frenchmen”—we are on the rack of anxiety here and every hour brings us fresh assurances, that in a short period liberty will once more wave her banners over Spain, and Iier enemies be driven be yond the Pyrennecs. The proclamations issued from Tarifa are calculated to rouse every Spaniard; a few only have reached ua here, but they are Bought after with nuch avidity that I find it impossible to pro cure one to send to you. They are ingen- ipus, not a word is said ^about the king; L every thing is directed against “ The A French, the foreign foe, in the very bosom, and eating out the vitals of Spain.” In ■ Ihe allair ot Madrid, which seemed the 'Signal, a great many French were killed. If this conveyance is detained a day or two, 1 will be able to give you some inter esting particulars; at any rate, my next will; till then look on Spain as you would on a volcano, threatening by its inward thunders an immediate eruption.” CHARL.' - rON, Sept. 28. Loss of the schr. S«/V.—The fishing smack Rainbow, arrived here yesterday, from a fishing voyage on the coast of Flor ida, and brings accounts of the loss of the schr. Swift, Copt. Burger, of this port, off the Isle of Pines, on the 29th ult<—Tl.-e Swift sailed from this port on the 8th ult. with n cargo of Rice, for the West Indies —touched nt Jamaica, where not finding a market, she was proceeding to Havana, when she was lost, os above stated.—The following is on extinct of a letter from Captain Burger, dated at Havana, Sept. U — “ This will inform you of the loss of the schooner Swift, off the Isle of Pinos, on the 29th August, and of the safe arrival here of myself and crew. We saved no thing but a little clothing, and suffered much. I shall to-morrow sail for Balti more, in hopes of meeting there the schr. Harvest.” A letter of a recent date, from Havana, says—“Our R ice Market is now in n shock ing state. Our quotations, 833-4, are with difficulty obtained.”. We are truly happy to learn, ns we do by the arrival of the smack Rainbow, from Cope Florida, that the late destructive Gale did not extend its effects to the Flor ida Coast. The Federal Gazette states that the n- mount of shipping laden with llottr from ho principal ports of tho United States, luring the year ending the 1st Sept. inst. was as follows, From Boston, 23; New- York. 63; Philadelphia. 35; Baltimore, 60; and gives as tho eomputationof a Bai ns merchant, that the vessels from Bal timore carried 160,000 barrels more than was shipped from the other threo ports. The same trade has more than doubled from the proceeding year. At tbe Municipal Court of Boston, on Monday, 13th inst. Br Reuben Harrington was convicted of the offence of letting out and accommodating a certain room, for hire, to one Susan B riant, with intent and design that it should be used by her for a Brothel, which room wa’s used by her for that purpose, and.with liisknowledge, from the 25th May, to the 1st August last. The Court instructed the Jury, that al though a Landlord was nut generally an swerable inlaw fortlic criminal conduct of liis tenant; vet that where a Landlord lets —.i — tenant shall use it for a criminal purpose, thereby muking himself a participator, in the criminal conduct, and deriving a reve nue from it-^-it was a misdemeanor at com mon law, punishable as such. It was not sufficient, that at the lime of the lease the tenant was a. person of general bad char acter, nor that the house afterwards be came a nuisance,—the offence consisted in the criminal intent at the commence ment of the contract. He was fined one hundred and fifty daU lars with the costs of prosecution*, and if not paid in ten days, then to be punished by hard labor in the House of Correction six months. PORTUGAL.—Tho Barbadoes papers which We received at a late hour yesterday to the 3d inst. inclusive, after mentioning that the Bey of Algiers had submitted to the terms proposed by tbe British Admi ral, mid that the blockading squadron had been ordered to the Tagus, states that such Svasthe anxiety to expedite the sailing of the Ocean of 80 guns, the flagship ofLord Am.-hus Beauclcrk, she whs towed by the steam boat out of the harbor of Algiers.

There is in New York, recently arrived from England, a lad culled Master Hull- hard, who cuts with a pair of commoascis- sors. in the most expeditious manner, ex act portraits of any person visiting him. He has cut in the same manner, and now exhibits them, elegant cuttings of Westmin ister Abbey, of churches, temples, monu ments, numerous portraits of well known faces—all of which are declared good re. presentations. The most recent finished piece, says his advertisement, is a portrait of Gen. La Fayette, encircled with a wreath, and decorated with appropriate emblems. NEW YORK, Sept. 20, .The old, favorite, iron-sided frigate Constitution, Com. Macdonough, made a majestic movement from the Navy Yard to the North River, on Saturday, under her three topsails. Wc understand she will sail for the Mediterranean in a few days. Her appearance is not exceeded by any frigate of our Navy, and although she is 27 yeats old, is perfectly sound. The contract for clearing the Ohio and Mississippi riv rshas been taken up by Mr John Bruce, of Lends county, Kentuc ky. It is stated in one of the eastern papers, that Gen. Barton, well known for his re volutionary services, and particularly for his attack upon a British force on Long Island, is now, and has been for these last 12 years, in jail in Vermont, for heavy bills of cost. The Rev. Mr Semmerfielu, preached in St. George’s Church, Philadelphia, to 19th inst.

According to reports made to the Brit ish Parliament, the number of merchant vessels belonging to that country is 21,542, manned by 2,606,474 sailors. Tho milita ry forces in the empire in the tinic of peace, amount to 320,009 men; the marine enunts 400 vessels of war and transports, and 23,000 sailors.—Tho revenue in time of peace is near 90 millions sterling, and the xpenses 77 millions—Tho exports are n- bout 62 millions, and the imports 44 mil lions. It appears from a document published by the German Journals, that Raisin has at this moment 950,000 men under arms.

Allyn, of the ship Cndmus, whoso polite ntten fibas secured tho esteem and warm friend ship of our illustrious guest. The desk is made of the richest mahog- onvwc ever saw, bordered on the top and front with rose wood, and indented with polished brass scollops, inlaid with admi rable exactness. A highly polished brass plate on the top hears the inscription, General Lafayette, to his excellent friend Captain Allvn, August 15th, 1624. In the inside of the desk, beside the usu al conveniences, were several secret apart ments fitted with much ingenuity. The draw was furnished with a complete dres- sting case finished in the most costly and beautiful style, silver shaving box, silver handed brush, and every material of the best and most polished order.—Statesman. The English brig of war Botterell left the enstorn const a few days since with her prize, a boat of 12 feet long, laden with 3 cod lines, 5 mackarcl lines, about 39 fish, and a hailing dish. The crew consisting ol’onc hoy of 17, one boy of 13, and a grown sailor, were generously liberated, mul the British captain with unexampled, inunifi cencc, restored to them one half gallon jug, one old cotton handkerchief and n wooden box. In no nation in Europe arc their naval affairs prosecuted with more noiseless peri severance, and on tile most entensive scale, than in France.—And we have an instance before us, that no money is more cheerful ly provided firm, In a late proceeding in •the French Cnamber of Bcpiities, on the budget, it was announced that in 182& the expenditures of the navy exceeded the appropriations by no less than four teen millions of francs; yet the deficiency was granted, without opposition or debate.

IVe have also udopted a similar course with re spect to the controversy between Mr. Brown and Mr. Pooler, for simiiur reasons, although Mr, Brown's communication was not received until \ a late hour liu* evening.—Ed, Rf.p. Right about.!—The friends of General Jackson arc so confident of success, that in the South and AVcst they have no hesi tation in declaring, thnt Mr Adams is elec tioneering for the General, and not him self. There is such u thing as ramming down a cannon so hard, that in rebound ing it knocks over the gunner.—Mr Ad ams will find this out shortly.—Nat. Ado, Nnn-England.—The- friends of Mr.' Crawford are so rapidly increasing in Nc w- Englaml as to afford grounds of serious alarm to the supporters of Mr Adams. It is now ascertained that pushing a prefer ence from sectional views may be soric- what dangerous; and that some men may shoot ahead of some men very unexpected ly. The New-England States cannot vote for Jackson, and yet ho will have a greater vote than Adams; they began to see the necessity of having a democratic administration, and giving the vote to Crawford. It will all go well.—ib.

Crawford and Gallatin. A letter from Washington states, thnt “ Messrs. Crawford and Calhoun were,-in their late excursion to the upper country, thrown into the same neighbourhood; and the latter condescended to visit the former. —It is said the call was returned.” Wc are not in the hnbit of utteringpre- dictions, hut we can assure the opposition that Mr. Crawford will receive a large majority of the votes in this, district, and we beg of them to mukc up their minds not to bo too much disappointed if he should receive a majority through the State.—Main Eastern Argus.

A few brief observations upon imr-Tctmiining part of Mr. Duke's testimony in the case ol | jerk’s will, and 1 shall leave it and Air. S. to the goort j*> 0 - ple of Chatham County. The second part of the 2d Interrogatory pro pounded to Air. Duke is in these words, “ Do you not believe thut Derks would ut that time (the time the will was made) have made his murks to any puper, whatever might have been its import, nnon.thc importunity or application of any person who might have been present." To this Mr. Duke knsivers, “ I cuniiot judge." I submit it to a-cun- did people to say, whether n witness who returns inch nn nnswerto this question, can afford any sa tisfactory evidence in this case on the' point of Di-rks’ suiiity 7 Is.it not uu admission on his part tof his totul incapacity to sneuk on that subject 7 ."Would u mini iu (he exercise of his reason have signed any paper that might have been presented to him by any person 7 And if Dukes be unable .to express an opinion upon this question, can lie affirm that he was in the exercise of his reason^ If he hud been iu possession of his renson, lie would not Imvc signed such u paper; Duke cunnot judge whether lie would have done this art or not, there fore Duke cannot affirm tlmt Derks was in posses sion of his reason 7 But in his answer to the 6th Interrogatory, Duke expressly and candidly states, “ that he will not take it uptm himself to swear whether Derks was of sound mind or not; und again declares tlmt the only opinion lie had on that subject was derived from Derks’ answer, “Yes." 1 submit, whether uny candid or impar tial mind cun avow itself satisfied with this testi mony 7 Duke himself felt in doubt. If this lie the situation of Duke’stcstiinony.thestateinents of Dr. Parker, und Messrs. Lewis t oy, which con firm liis insensibility on the 20th October, stand almost without contradiction. You have Imwij, Kir, long in the pursuit nod prnctice of un honorable profession, l.ut you seem not yet to have unbilled Its principles of ho nor. Regardless of the delicacy of your situation, you contend tlmt you drew in your oven hmul wri ting tiie will of a man whose cuso was extreme, in which you were sole legatee, and which, nt your solicitation, was subsequently executed under flic chciimstances disclosed l»y tbe evidence. Per mit me to tell you, tlmt a decent regard to the opi nions of your fellow men, and a proper value upon your own reputation would at least have dictated a course of greater delicacy und prudence. Air. Poy says, he Was in the lmll at the time you arriv ed with Duke; why was he not called into the room 7 why not one word said to him uiiout jiM'iW or its execution ? why was it tlmt lie knew nothing of Derks’ having signed any paper? He was un in mute of his house—let liis own testimony, pro- claiin the reason. He tells you thnt Derks was a! thut time insensible, Mr. P. also says, he never heard Derks speak of liis wish or intention to dis pose of his property. The truth will not always bear the light. That delicacy of feeling which you parted with on that occasion, you appear never to have recovered. -But the last year you was re fused a seat in the lower house of the legislature, by the ndople of this County ; you huve now sud denly thrust yourself before thnt same people, dc- mending from them u seat iff the Senate, und in' opposition to an old, respectable and .intelligent citizen.. Whut could have been your motive, what your expectation ? Be nssured, Siv, if the one was dictated by imprudence and vanity, the other will end in disappointment und defout, in mortifi cation and disgrace. There have, indeed been some grent men w ho having got in tbe wrong thro’ ambition, continued in the wrong through malice. But us your ambition xccins never to huve konwn the salutary restraint eitiier of modesty or renson ; an intelligent people will have sufficient discern ment so to appreciate you, that your malice will impart its venom only to yourself. Oschincs, in his oration against Ctcsius, indig. nantly exclaims that it is impossible that the heart which is insensible to tho influences of private vir tue should be alive to the remoter impulses of pa triotic feelings; thut private depravity can consist with public virtuo.

A REPUBLICAN OF “ 1798.',’ •— To the Inhabitants of Chatham County, FELLOW-CITIZENS, 1 have on a former occasion told you tbit Robert W. Pooler hud defrouded me, and that h substantiate the tame, the evidence was full ad explicit and not wanting in-character, head nit charges, then his detente—and apply the evi dence contained in the Certificates hereunto sii- nexed. Mr Pooler thinks his defence is triumph- uut, und that lie stands acquitted—and sr.ys lun to lie brought before that tribunal which l uu first so anxious to appear; but I am fearful fiat lie will very soon reconsider this declaration,and think it more safe for him to keep before the rii- lie with Ids fuisc statements and abuses. Tli man says he relics on his own statements—I rtl on facts, and the evidence of gentlemen of uiort respectability than Robert W. Pooler. I eunuot in justice to myself, reply to tho ntibli cation which Mr Pooler lias in the last puulia tion of fills paper laid before you—it is too frmigli with falsehoods for the notice of any honest cili zi.-u, and us it has uot been in tho |K>wer of Mi Pooler to disprove one statement contained i my late Address to the Citizens of Savannah, i is uot to be presumed tlmt I will ut tills tiui attempt to coutradictby my own declarations auj thing that lie has said while I publish the evident! of such undoubted character. Rut us 1 now withhold a part of my cvideucciij consequence of the Judicial investigation with which I am threatened, after all tho rantlagoad challenging that you Imve heard, 1 deem it to be due. to you, to expluiu a few poiuts in quesliun. Tbe inun Lorraine, thut you have heard so much of, and have beard it sold how often he bu culled on and conversed with me, 1 have never seen or spoken to in all my life. The bouki of Brown, Greene k co. show that he commence! receiving lumber from tliut firm on the lfilli day Dec. 1810, and continued to receive in small psr- cels from dav to day, or us lie reauired, until the 10th of the,then ensuing month when on the night of that day the ever memorable conflugrutioa is this city took place ; after which, I see no chaig* against him- Un the 2-lth day of thut mouth vm shall bo informed from a Report of the 'Jriil whicii will be published ui’tei i am sued, that .Mr. Pooler was informed of the umouut of credit fit en Lorraine from liis guarantee—whut ut tnif lime,, and has subsequently occurred, relative te this transaction. The 2d case. As Mr. Litlo is a stranger to wi ny of you, yet there are those among you who do know him to he a respectable gentleman, I iu«k« a fow brief remarks relative to thut transaction — At the time that Ml'. Pooler made the pledge to mo ns contained in the certificate of Mr. Lille hereunto annexed, my umbrella which tlien unfurled, protected Mr. Little, Mr. Pooler, end myself, from the then falling Ruin, u'beu et tbs same time a worthy young gentleman at presentj without the limits of this city, was standing by. - It is due to Mr. Eppingcr, Mr. Burton, end Mi Wavne, to say that they did not hear this pledge,' for it was in the street and at some distance from] each one of these gentlemen. As rcintfiS to the bnrguiu aud trade for the Horse, 1 hud nothing la do with it, ft* you shall hereafter be informed ft respectable testlfiSmy i thfi horse was put in *t stable but without my knowledge, for 1 wn» id present, tho’ it was with the knowledge und ip probation of my young men. When 1 passed Ik note of Mr. Wuyne’s, il was under stipulated cp- ditions that it should not be returned to roe— the only thing thut I did do or say in relation ft the affair prior to the arrest of Mr. Litic find ft subsequent appearance before the Justices, «*i that i informed him, if liis horse had been put in iny stubie illegally, there was another and a oetta way to regain him than by violent means. W I can prove ; and it was in consequence of w Pooler’s promise to me, tliut I did receive the noli ugain ; nnd 1 have often since said, oominencift on the morning of the next day, tlmt if the l- ol j mine case had have occurred to me, that I wouM not havo token the verbul promise of Mr. i’o. nnd after night of the same day Mr. Lltlc r- 1 '- 1 ' “ me, that I hud better tukc Mr. Pooler’s gtumwW in writing. The renson why I employed Pooler to bring suit against Lorraine, was fod* express purpose thut lie slionld bo a witness to in' failure nnd inability to pny tho debt whipkj'ftt been given under his guarantee as contain* * tlie certificates hereunto-annexed, nnd boilsJP at the same time thut I should not bo liable fort* cost, provided Lorraine failed to pay—but 1 disappointed. With this subject, fellow-citizens, I do h<H that 1 shall never again have occasion to tiawjl you in the columns of u newspaper—that 1 h # not charged Mr. Pooler wrongfully, I ^ e0 ,'“f 11 - dent of your acquiescence—that be stands nrt° you as tne promulgator of known falsehoods,» apparent from tlie first to tlie last of his pum 1 j thins—lienee I have snid, and i do again tlie expression, that the abuse of Robert VV. ** er, enn injure no honest citizen, neither can W • benefited by ids nbuse of one who views lui“ unworthy of notice. * ,u Being now about to disappear frombefom public nbove my own nume, ahd ns you h#v u former occasiou, heard it said thnt 1 hays ,, living ninong you for liino years! and ns fins i , first time that I Imve ever been Ijroiiglit min « terciition with uny of your, citizens—u tom* marks reverting to the origin of tliis ulliui* , 'be deemed improper.
