ROBBERY.—The store of Mr. IV. J.

The squadron consisted of the St. Pe dro 74 flag ship, 1 frigate, and two Stoops of war, ail at auchor about six thiles from the fort 5 except the St. Pidro, who was Under way. An English frigate utld a French sloop of war Were ' also ot anchor before the harbor. Alt communication was-prohibited by both parties—the boarding offi cer informed that a few days previous, Lord Cochrane sent in two bomb ships which destroyed •ii part of the town. ,* ■ RUMOR.—Captain Soot*, arrived at Boston trout Lisbon, statesthatu day. or two before he sailed (18th August,) reports reached there that a Tfiuch Army was on the lines of Portugal.

PIRACY.*—A letter'from Havana of the 6th. Sept, says:—“Little doubt exists but that the pi ratical force in the neighborhood will be much in creased, and we may expect to hear of - extensive depredations 011 our commerce, .in consequence of 130 or 140 sailors having beeu sent in here by a Patriot privateer. They were token some few 'days since, off Havana,.out of two vessels bound to the Coast of Africa, and two for Spain. These men have no other resource than to rob, or go on .board of a Spanish man of war ;‘aud three-fourths of them will prefer the former. The . protection which was some time since afforded to bur com merce in this quarter by American cruisers, seems Jatterly to have been almost entirely withdrawn, ns it is seldom that any of them visit this port. The V- S. sclir Sliark arrived here on the third hist, mid sailed this day on a crulsc for the Coast .of Africa.—There werc.no vessels ready to take advantage of the protection ou} of the iigrbor.” GAI.E IN THE WEST INDIES. Capt. Bmvlina of the brig Hero,nrrivcdnt New York from St Thomas’ and Turks Island, gives the following account of damage sustained during the gale of the 12th ult. at thnt placb. The ship Alex ander was blown out and lost; crew and part of her cargo saved. The sclir Five-Sitters, Rock; -well, ot and from Hartford, Ct. was’ also driven to sco, and lmd not been heard of for 10 days: one Of her anchors had been picked up in the Roads, 2 Four hundred thousand bushels of salt had been lost at Tnrks-Island, in oonsequenee of which,that article had ri^ n per cent.

Two vessels iii the harbor, a sclir. and sloop'parted their cables, and were driven onshore. Most of the wharves were considerably injured from the violence of the surf, and a number offences were blown down. No intelligence hod hoen received on the 11th i'romnhe Leeward and Virgin islands, or from J'orto Rico, and thcislands to windwunj—but it was expected they hod all iiiflcrcd-severely.

The health of the King of France Was critical, and liis death looked to as'au event pregnant with important changes. Count do Villole transacted business with him ou the 4th ultimo.

In England. there wus every prqspect thnt the crop of hops would be abundant. From Canterbury and Maid stone the most flattering acc ounts find been receiv ed. The crop of flax in Ireland is ohundnnt nnd good throughout the country. The consumption of Flaxseed in Ireland Inst year, was 10,POD jihds. more than the preceding-year, nnd double what it was ten years ago. The quantity remaining on hand on the 3th of July, 1823, was 2.213 tierce*.— The quantity on the 5th of July, 1824, was . 13,600 tierces. Last sales in June 45s 6d. An extraordinary phenomenon occurred on the 2d Sept, nenr Haworth, about 01 miles froth Leeds. A part of the high lands on the moors, opened into chasms nnd sunk to the depth of 3: or 6 yards in some ptuces, und formed Uvo cavities, one about 200 and jhe other about 600 yards in circumference. From these issued two immense volumes of muddy water, which, uniting at the distance of 100 yards from their sources, over whelmed the country for about two hours from 30 to 60 yards in width, from 3 to 4 yards in depth, nnd fora distance of6or 7 miles.” All this way there tv a 3 deposited u black moorish substance, from 3 to 36 inches in depth, mixed with sand, rocky fragments, he. A paragraph dated Leeds. 3fept. 6, states that the river Ayre still presented the most extraordinary appearance—resembling exactly the grounds ol coffee. All the woollen manufactures, dye houses, lie. upon its hanks, were completely at a stand, and the most lively apprehensions prevailed as to the ultimate consc- qui-nces of this unusual phenomenon. Accounts hud been received in London of the ratification, by the Greek government of the trea ty w ith the Greek committee for a loan. Accounts from Cape Coast to June 16, lmd reached England, at which tiuie no new military operations had takcu place. Oekeci:—The rc-tnking of Ipsara nnd destine- „r hero, lion of a portion of theTurkish fleet by the Greeks, may now be considered as certain, since the fact is not only confirmed by all the public nnd privute accounts received, but is admitted by tho Paris Monitcur and the Austrian papers. Advices of the 10th of August, from Bucharest, state that a Courier had arrived on ttlc Uth at ftuts- cbuck from Enos, in the vicinity of tlie Danlanel- Ibs, with intelligence that the Captain Pacha had been completely defeated, nnd that many of his vessels had taken refuge at Enos. , Accounts from Constantinople of the 30th July give further particulars. The Greek fire ships had destroyed several of the largest Turkish vessels and compelled the Captain Pacha to seek shelter in the Gulfof Smyrna. An extraordinary Courier had arrived at Vienna with letters confirming the above-news, und stat ing the Turks lost five frigates nnd corvettes. The Turkish commander is said th have been depriv ed of his command and his principal oflicers bad also incurred the displeasure of the GrandSeignor. It is stated in a letter from Trieste, dated Aug, 12 that the Ipsariots, reinforced by the Hydriots mid Speziots, with 65 ships, returned to Ipsara af ter the fall of that place, and captured 70 Turkish Gunboata> and thus prevented the Turks in the Is land from escaping. The Turks fell under the swords of the Greeks. The affair of Ipsariot, is stated to have cost the Turks 10,000 lives. Let ters from the same place of a later date, state that three frigates of the 'Captain Pacha were burnt, and 70 smaller vessels destroyed,and that the Cap tain Pacha bad flcd.ttf Mitylene The brack Telegraph of the 23d July, says,4000 Turks perished by the blowing up of* the fortress at Ipsara. A letter from Corfu, dated August 1st. received in London, by a member of the Greek Committee, mentions the destruction of 15 or 16,000 Turks at Ipsara. The Turkish fleet pursued and scattered is said to have sought shelter in the port of Sray na, where it may be easily blockaded by a portion of the Greek fleet, leaving the remainder, to annoy the enemy's coast, or to encounter the, Egyptian fleet, should it ever put to sea. Nothing ot inter est had taken place on the continent. TURKISH BARBARITY. ' Oazssx, August... The Captain Pacha ha? sent nearly 600 heads and 1200 care to Constantinople, as the trophies 0/ Ipsara. They were exposed in public on the 2Gth of July. Letters from Egypt mention that the Paclm will raise 50,000 bales of Cotton this year. A London paper remarks, all tills must come to that country in British bottoms, and consequently will not only be so much subtracted from Americun grow th, but ri large proportion of freight deducted from American tonnage. Such are some of the cpnse- 'quences already resulting from the American Ta riff.

The town of Harpfen, in Hungary, was nearly reduced to ashes on the 27th of July. On the4tfa of August 200 houses and many bams were re duneiT to ashes in 4 hours in the populous town of Werbez in Hungary. With fh;cs und hail storms, 20,000 persons are reduced to misery.

A private letter received yesterday from Paris, states that the King Of France]* physicians had it as their opinion that his Majesty’s lifo could hot be prolonged beyond tho middle of the 1 Latest from Liverpool. By the arrival at this port of the fast sailing ship Emily, Capt. Webb, we have received regular files of Liverpool papers, to the 10th Sept, and Lloydslists to the 7th inclusive.'

Sr air.—We have been not a little puzzled with the letter received in Liverpool yesterday, ns it is utterly at varinneewith the latest intelligence from France. Tarifa,according to the French accounts was taken on the li>th ult. and the citadel on the 20th; notwithstanding which, xvc have hero a let ter of a later date by one day, which states that Tarifa was, on the 21st ult. in the possession of the Liberals. This letter is addressed to u highly res pectable house in Liverpool, by a correspondent 111 Gibraltar, which is only nine' miles from Tarifa. We can readily believe tliat the prostituted French journalists wilt fabricate any intelligence which may suit the views of their government; but we cannot so promptly give credence to the existence of so formidable 11 force ns thnt said to he,so strong ly entrenched under Valdes in Tarifa. Extract of a letter received from Gibraltar, da ted 21st August:—“You will,doubtlets.hnvr heard of the Liberals having taken Tarifa, where they Still holdout in defiance of the French and royalist troops. Indeed, they say it is so completely dc fended by walls they have raised in every street, and communications from one house to another, with holes to fire through, that if they enter the place few could he saved; the French have been bombarding there for the last ten day, hut to no effect. Iudced they acknowledge to have lost two officers, nnd some hundred men killed and wounded,with two pieces of artillery taken by the Constitutionalists in a sortie made from tho town. They have 800, some say 1000 men, com manded by Valdes,whohad been here a longtime, and prepared this expedition so secretly thnt it was not even suspected ; 1 have dined with him several times, he is very valiant andof sitperiorex- periencc to Riego; they are well provisioned and have plenty of money, and the French acknow ledge it is impossible to blockade them by sea, in deed two French frigates are just come into the hay, pumping every moment, from the effects of the red hot shot which Valdes fires, having a fur naoe,£ic.in imitation of Gen. Elliot,when govern or here. Another expedition sailod for Almciru, where they have landed, nnd been joined by 5 or GOO men; and by last accounts were proceeding by the Granada Mountains towards Malaga, in which place they say all is ready for them. 1 know not whut it will end in: but the country Is in a wretch ed state. No one ventures now into Spain from here; all the. country houses, itc. deserted, for wo hear them firing in different directions every hour. O'Donncl the Governor of Algccirus (detested by I tlifiir views of gain at our expense. But all) yesterday shot four men, taken in a boot go- ing to Tarifa to join the others, nnd itissaid Valdes intends to retaliate by shooting twenty-five French abd royalists in his possession, to day.” It is stated in Gibraltar letters of the 12th Aug. that the southern provinces of Spain were ripe for revolt. A Greek General named Catiscaice who was ar rested by Mavrocorduto for treuson, bus thrown himself into the monastery of St. Anastasias after being defeated,where he is blockaded by 5000mem The Greeks continue to harass the Turks in Thessaly.

[Extracts from the Pamphlet.) “ Those who understood the true inter ests of Tcnncsse, then exclaimed against the appointment of Jeckson ns Senator in Congress. It was then clearly foreseen, and ftdly predicted tlmt ho would bn indu ced to barter southern intert sts for northern votes. The great northern measure of imposing prohibitory duties so as to coni- pe'l us to purchase of northern manufac turers nt their own-priecs, was distinctly foreseen und - exclaimed against before Jackson went from home.

No; he wont to electioneer for President, and ho did so. We hear nothingof an nnnory in Tennessee;,nothing orany other impor tant measure being urged in behair of our state. No; On the contrary, we hear of our Presidential candidate nnd his histori an and dependant going hand in hand, in yielding up the rights of Tennessee, the interests of their constituents, for the pur pose of buying presidential votes for Jack- son. In tile former representation from Tennessee, these northern manufacturers had found an insurmountable barrier to GEN. LA FAYETTE, Entered Baltimore on thf 7th inst.

We find him at Washington, bowing ami cringing to all his former foes, save only his greatest rival, Mr Crawford; to him he preserved a haughty distance, affecting to feel to much resentment at supposed injuries, to forgive him. He is sfeen with hosts of sycophants dancing attendance on his person, and ilattcring ids vunity. He is placed at the head of the military com mittee, where his predecessor presided with so much.skill and honour to himself and Ids state; nnd by his friends he is ex pected at least there to make soipe figure; but, alas! his speeches, if delivered, have never reached public. He voted, that was all; and VciTcthat by far too much, for he voted away the rights and the inter ests of his constituents. At the close of the when the mcmoriul of Edwards forward to bid him Welcome was immense —Every thing passed off pleasantly and without any serious accident, and evinced the deep interest all classes in that commu nity felt to shew their profound respect for the character and Revolutionary services of their illufetriouB Guest. The .martial appearance of between five and six thous and troops constituted an imposing and brilliant part of the ceremonies. In the evening the city was hriliantly illumina ted. . The next day the General received the congratulations of the citizens, and others, dined with the corporation, and attended a splendid ball in tlie evening. On Thursday last he expected td arrive in Washington city. On Saturday last he was to embark from Alexandria, aud expect to arrive at Yorktown yesterday to dinner—On Thursday next, he will visit Williamsburg, and on Friday will proceed by way of Green Spring to James Town where he will embark for Norfolk. He will remain at Norfolk several days, and will go thence to Richmond; from Rich mond he will visit Fredericksburg, Mont pelier, Monticello, &c.

Courier. was introduced into the house, and its eup- porters ovcrwhclined by the indignant feel ing of a large majority of the members, the Grn. looked wise, asked leave of absence, took the route homeward different from his usual course,, spent a night on the road with Edwards, und on his return was not idle in causing to be circulated the most injurious insinuations against Mr. Craw ford. As a politican, Gen. Jackson never could rise above mediocrity; he not deficient in ordinary capacity for ordi nary transactions;, but his restless temper can never yidld to the confinement and attention necessary to a man of genera' information. Boisterous in ordinary con versation, he makes up in oaths what he lacksjn argument, and is in tho habit of attempting to browbeat any opponent. Such have been the habits of the mgn in private life. He may for a time, and un der peculiar circumstanced, affect a differ ent demeanor; but it will be all affectation The public career of General Andrew Jackson is too notorious to require rejieti- tion. For nil tho gortd he Has done you, for all thdl has been done by the gallant men who fought and suffered under his command, he has received all the honor and profit. Tis true he has essayed to divide with his near relations and immedi ate dcpcndants;b\it. to tho great mass of the army, the gallant officers of various grades, w ho came not within the range of his peculiar favour, he has distributed but a small share of praise. In order to add to the military fame 0 Jackson, and attach veneration to his character, it is said hy his triends that lie partook of the toils of the revolution. I have never understood that he asserted this to be a fact t although I do not doubt that if old enough he would Jhwi taken a part in the contest, for he is truly a man of “blood and carnage;” yet I have no evi dence that be did so, or that the statement by his friends is any thing else than qp elec tioneering story. The first conspicuous acts of Ida life in Tenmv-sec, may he found at the* raee-cTound aud cock-light. At such places ho was for many years, even up to the period of his joining tho army,'a leading and conspicuous actor. And it is a qptorious tact, that he was scarce ever known to leave a race-ground without having participated in an affray or riot, or at least a quarrel. Ilis whole lifo lias been a sccnoof confusion, und no man Can point to a single day at which lie has been at'peace with the world, or du ring which hcwufl not nt open nnd violent enmity with some individual; nay most of the tiinc.withnniiicrousrindividiiulsin pub lic nnd in private life; not political (Hftcr- ences.norordiimry misunderstandings, but quarrels nf the most violent, ranbmirous, and deadly nature. To recount the nu merous rencounters, ufiVnys, and personal controversies, in wliieh he has been enga ged, would bo truly a tedious tusk. “It was durhigthe Creek war that tho ex ecution of John Wood, a young militiaman, took pluce, to the justification of which several pages of Juckson’u, alias Eaton’s book, is applied. It nmy have been con formable tb tho strict rules of military dis cipline, hut it had a sickeniug effect at the time throughout tlie country. There were other executions whiqh Occurred un der his military despotism, which'arc suppressed in the hook. One of these scenes to Which I allude, was the execu tion of six militiamen, under cireuinstan-' cos calculated to excite tho utmost horror among n civilized and humane popple. They composed a pavt ol’the drafted mili tia wlio went out under . tho impression that they were to serve only three months. To satisfy all doubts in this respect,' it is suid they procured tho opinion of a court- martial of their officers at home, and the private opinion ot’ some of the officers, among whom, report states, there was one Brigndier-.Gciieral of militia, previous to their marching for the army, all of whom concurred in the bpinjun thnt they were bound for only three months, At theiexpiration of tips time, they returned home, were advertised as deserters, and, on bci ng advisodthnt they had done wrong, went back five hundred miles, .willingly, and without being confuted und forced hack as criminals. Among these men wiis one preacher of the gospel, - and one youth Under twenty-one years of age, who had fought b’raVcly during, two tours pre viously. At least three of the six had fam ilies ;twnor three of them .wero charged wil li some other violation oftlio law, besides desertion. Tlie soldiers who executed tlie sentence ofthe law, certainly aimed to miss the youth who had served the two tours before; only one struck min near the hip. They were all considered dead, and the soldiers who executed them had murohed oft’. Some young officers happened, in udulging their curiosity hy looking at the slain, to discover the young man open an aye. “ Hero is pne of them winks his eye; he is not dead yet.”,) 1 For God’s sake dont shoot mo again,” said the young soldier, who hadi>een prctcndingtolic dead. The hour for their execution had passed and General Flournoy dared to spare his life. He died, though, in three or four days. These men were poor and friendless. Their distressed wives und'thcir helpless children wore left to sink under their load of misery—:to mourn over their untimely unnecessary, cruel and inluimun death Their General was all powerful; hence the tongue of reproach was. silepced, and this scene of blood is sunk into oblivion, or remembered only to be thought •of, but not whispered tb the prejudice pf the would- be President. These men were put to death about the close of the war, nnd af ter it is stated, the treaty with England. “A short time beforo the execution of these militiamen, seven regular soldiers were shot near Nashville by a bund of re gulars scarcely sufficient to guard the pris oners. TJicy were confined in a house, and taken out and executed ono nt a time there being scarcely enough men for the purpose of executing and guarding at the same moment. An eighth soldier was to have been executed at the samq.time. He was a young man, who deserted one month before his time expired. General.
