New-York, May 10. A letter was received yesterday, from an American officer fit Ha vana, dated 22d ult. communica ting the following interesting intel ligence. “ The famous Pirate schooner Saragozana, is captured bv the Bri tish—One hundred and twenty men were taken and thirty killed. Fif teen of the British were, unfortu nately killed. The pirates have been sent to Jamaica to be hung.— Their vessel mounted one long 18 pounder and 4- long nines or twelves with a crew of 150 men.’’ “ Commodore Porter left Matan zas on ihe 19th, in the Sea-Gull, in pursuit of this vessel, hut he was too late.” Philadelphia . Jlap 20.—Caps. Mcl drum, arrived last evening from St. Jago informs that lie was boarded off Cape Maize, by an officer from the British sloop of war Thracian, bound to Jamaica with a large piratical schoo ner in company. 7he officer report-* t-d her to have 80 men on board and that the boats of the sloop of war cap tured her after a very hard light of two hours. MEXICO. The New-Orleans papers us the 21st Apl. contain many particulars of the concluding scenes of the farce of royal ty, in which Yturbidc acted the first part —it can hardly he said ‘with un bounded applause.’ Hie Vera Cruz Diary states, that his imperial Majesty attempted to escape for Tucubaya, when thousands of beggars cut the lianess of his coach and obliged him and his family to return to the house. About seven hundred troops remained faithful to the Emperor in his fallen fortunes the officers of which solicited leave to meet the republicans, but the Emperor wept —his imperial Majesty bluhberd !—-and ‘ women's tears cour sed down his cheeks* —declining a con test, he threw himself on the mercy of his conquerors; wisely preferring as a dernier resort, rather to live and fight another day, than * to set his life upon a died and make ids exit from this sub lunarv sphere, even with the eclat ol a battle, and six inches of cold steel. By a passenger i.i the steam, ship we learn that about 700 troops remain ed faithful to the late F.mperor Itur bide, and that the officers of these troops strongly advised him io give battle to the troops of the republican party, but that Iturbide refused, and threw himself on the mercy and gene rosily of trie Congress. He was ta ken into custody and remained at his country seat near Mexico, under charge of General Bravo. By the Ve ra Cruz papers, we observe that he abdicated on the 19th March. We further learn that he is generally des pised for his pusillanimous conduct, and that the Mexicans have given him the appellation of colonel Llantns. JV*. York paper. From the National Intelligencer. .Messrs. Editors —I send you the following authentic information just received from Mexico: “ Be it known, that the Emperor Yturbide having abdicated, it is the intention of the people of Mexico to dispose of the Imperial Crown made for his coronation, having no longer any use for the same. This is there fore to give notice, that at the next Congress of Sovereigns to be held at Verona or elsewhere, the Imperial Crown ot Mexico will be sold at pub lick auction. It is quite new, cost S 1,000,000, and is warranted to have been worn only one year. All Kings or Emperors wanting an e.vlra crown will find this a valuable opportunity. Terms of sale cash, < v notes endorsed by governmen or Bank of England. 7Tie principal reason for disposing of this Crown is, that it has been found too heavy and oppresive an article of dress for this side of the Atlantic, and more over hit? never been much in fashion. “ N. 15. The people of Mexico ex pect shortly to have on hand an assort ment of Mitres. This is worthy the attention of the Pope and Arch Bishop of Canterbury.” Iloni soit qui mal if pease. The barque Budget,arrived at Balti more on the 7th inst. from St, Thomas brings a report, current there before she sailed, that Porto Cabello was to surrender to the Colombian forces un der General Paez on the 14th of April, if relief could not in the mean time he obtained. The blockade of that place M as closely kept up by Commo dore Daniels The government of Brazil has issued a proclamation authorising the fitting out of privateers against the commerce of the mother country The Boston newspapers announce ihe arrival in that city of four Commis sioners to out Government from Guati mnlaon the Spanish Main, the object of whose mission is to propose ihe un ion of their country with our republic. We regret that ibis distant people, who have formed so favorable an opin ion of our political institutions, and who, for all we know, mav be worthy of enjoving the blessings of lice gov ernment, should not have been better informed as to our national policy. Any political relation with them other than such as our Government may form with a sovreign independent na tion, is altogether impracticable. Whetl ler itbe the Captain-General ship of Guatimala, or one of the pro vinces of that political division, ol the same name, that solicits incorpora tion into our Union, we are not infor med. According to Morse, this Cap tain-Generalship extends from New Spain on North West nearly to the isthmus of Darien, and is hounded on the. F.ast by tbe Caribbean Sea, and on the West by the Pacific Ocean. — “ It consists of six provinces, Cliiapa, Vera Paz, Guatimala,Honduras, Nica ragua, and Costa Rica.—The great American range of mountains runs through the country from S. E. to N. W. Vol canoes are extremely nume rous and some of them terrific ; no less than 20are inconstant activity. ‘The general appearance of the soil is extremely fertile, and Guatimala produces abundantly corn, cochineal, grapes, honey, wax, cotton, fine wool and dye-woods. The population has been estimated at 1,800,000. Santiago de Guatimala,capital of the Captain-Generalship of Guatimala,was founded in 1524 on the declivity of a mountain, at whose summit was a vol cano—but in 1751, it was overwlielm ebbv an earthquake, and by the mat ter from the volcano. Notwithstading this awful calamiv.the city was rebuilt on the same spot; but another and more tremendous convulsion again destroy ed tbe devoted place in 1775, the greater part of the inhabitants being at tbe same time buried in tbe ruins, ‘/’he city now stands 25 miles S. of the old town. It is a magnificent place, adorned with churches and monaste ries,and an uni verity reckoned one of the best in the empire. Population 19,000.” Recorder Kcw Impirtalhn! —A letter from England, dated Feb. 7, says—” I was clown in the London docks, and there were twenty-six paupers going out in the ship Hudson to New-York, sent by the parish of Kurbast, near Battle, in Sussex, in carrier’s waggons, who paid their passage and gave them money to start with when arrived in the Uni ted States ; and other parishes must do the same or they will be eat up by them. Many parishes are in that state that the land is worth nothing to the landlord, and I see no remedy except sending the ex tra population somewhere.” Niles Register. About one hundred and fiftv dol lars in bills of the different Banks of Ohio, were sold in Boston a few days since, at auction, for 14 cents per dollar. Disturbance at Harvard College. ‘ Why, this looks like rebellion ?’ We understand that a very seri ous rebellion has broken out among the students of Harvard College, and that almost the whole ol the senior class have left college. The affair is stated to be so serious as to preclude the possibility of a commencement the next season.— We have not learned the immedi ate cause of these occurrences. Host on >States.

A gentleman, travelling about the year 1756, upon the frontiers of Virginia, when there were but few settlements, was obliged to take up his quarters one evening at a mise rable plantation, where, exclusive of a negro or two, the family con sisted of a man and his wife, and one daughter about sixteen years of age. Being fatigued, he pre sently desired them to shew’ him where he was to sleep ; according ly, they pointed to a bed in the cor ner of the room where they were sitting. The gentleman was em barrassed, but being exceedingly weary he half undressed himself and got into bed. ‘The old lady soon came to bed to him, after her the old gentleman, and last of all the young lady. ‘This, in a country excluded from all civilized society could only proceed from simplicity and innocence; indeed, it is a gen eral and true observation, that forms and observances become ne cessary, and are attended to, in pro portion as manners become corrupt, and it is found expedient to guard against vice, and that design and duplicitv of character which, from the nature of things will always prevail in large and cultivated soci eties.
