‘‘ln the year 1668, the Porto uese resi

court of justice, arrested nod put in prison

unlawful, aai contrary to the law of na

GENERAL TOLEDO.
Gbnehal Ton edo, of tho revolutionary
army ot Soutb-Ameriea, aceompaoied by
his secretary (an American) and another
gentleman, were iu this town on i ueedey
and Wednesday last.. They ‘ awe passen
gers we understand with ,c~ plain Gjrinnohls
of this port from New-Orleans, whete n
attempt had been m&dd by home of the tta
snisaries ofthe old government to ssa.ssiiia.ie
him, from which be narrowly escaped, a
ball passing through the eu§ ot >ns coat
He is of the ordinary *i*e, and litudsuwoly
proportioned, about 35 years old, and uas
held the command of admiral under the
government of the kin*;. The obj ioi t fis
visit to this part of the country i* a profound
>cret, as he acts very much upon e le
serve. There c.tn be but lilt e doubt but
what it relates to furthering the viev. s oi
the revolutionists, ahbough h'-’ and cUu and tho
(jtfer, while here, of the aervi es ol s ver; i
individuals, and appe red av tsv to private
conversation. On the 2.! of Janu ry tuat he
was denounced by the Chevalier D- Obis
as a “ traitor who was preparing an txpi
ditinn at Ntw-Orlean# ag iust the dominions
of the king bis master” in eorjutv tion with
other insurgents who h -d taken rtriuge there.
We think it more than probable that his
present object is to obtain a supply ot arms,
ammunition and provisions for his p rtiza'n.s,
to be conveyed in fast sailing vessels under
the American fl-g: if this is the res* v.e
shall soon hear of hi* beine in Baltimore.
