.i er ‘* smaller vessels, attackeil
Spanish flotilla, under the
m land of Commodore Laborde,
nsisiing of one brig three schoon-
S ant * ‘Wenty-fivc gun boats.—
The action was severe and ended
in the almost total destruction of
the Spanish squadrons; the brig and
schooner were blown up, and the
rest captured or destroyed with the
exception of the schooner Especu
ladora in which Comm’re Laborde
made his escape to his ships lying
outside the bar. The Spaniards
confess the loss of 1500 men,
amongst whom they count IGO of
ficers ; out of 100 men landed from
the commodore’s ship only eleven
returned. The corvette Ceres
landed also 100 men, but as she is
detained to leeward by the current,
it is not known what number she
lost.
General Morales remained in
Maracaibo with about 800 men, and
short of provisions : but it is sup
posed he has been forced to sur
render before this. Ilis second
and third in command had arrived
at Curracca in the frigate, now re
pairing her spars and rigging in that
place.
The Dutch schooner Eliza, had
arrived at Curracoa, from Mara
caibo, with a number of Morales’
wounded officers.
The Assembly of Yucatan have
decreed that American vessels ar

Capture of Bahia. —By an arrival
at Boston from Pernambuco, we
learn that Gen. Medeira evacua
ted Bahia on the 2d July, and em
barked his troops on board the Por
tuguese men of war and merchant
men then in the harbor,and imme
diately sailed. Lord Cochrane
who was cruising ofl the port, gave
chase to the Portuguese fleet, and
on the 6th of July succeeded in cap
turing thirteen of the transports
which he ordered hack to Bahia.
He was in pursuit ot the remain
der of the fleet, and as it was sup
posed they would stop at Maran
hamfora supply of provisions, it
was believed he would come up
with and capture nearly all of them.
The Brazilian army took possess
ion of Bahia immediately af.er Gen.
Mediera evacuated the place. On
the receipt of the news at Pernam
buco, the city was illuminated for
three nights in succession.
Late accounts from Buenos Ay
res, state that Agents had arrived
there from Spain for the purpose
of making some commercial ar
rangements with that country. —
They first proposed a cessation ol
hostilities for ten years, i But the
government it seems is determined
not to enter into any’ negotiations
with them, until the King of Spain
acknowledges the independence of
that country, including Chili, Peru,
and Colombia.
The anniversary of Independence
was celebrated at Buenos Ay res, in
the most splendid manner.
A gentlemen passenger arrived
at Charleston from Havanna, has
furnished the editors of the Patriot,
with some additional particulars
respecting the plot to revolutioniize
the island, which was discovered
about the 15th ult. The object of
the conspirators was to throw off
the dependence on Spain, and to
gain possession of the island bv
arming the most deprived part of
the population, and massacreing all
opposed to them. A merchant, of
immense wealth, who is said to be
a brother in law of the celebrated
Bolivar, is given as the author of
the plot, and who was to have as
sumed the military command of
the island if the scheme succeeded-
The leaders, after the discovery of
the plot, had attempted to leave
the Havanna, in vessels bound to
the United States, but were sent
after by the authorities of tne is
land brought back to the town and
thrown into prison.
Arrangements are making by the
Colonization Society’ to fit out three
more vessels this season, for Af
rica. We are happy to learn, this
benevolent and patriotic Society
has surmounted the most prominent
obstacles to the attainment of its
ultimate object, and cordially wish
itcfa •five encouragement, and final
success. The object is equally hu
mane and benevolent, and much
more patriotic than that ol the fo
reign Mission Society, and there
fore entitled to a preference in pa
tronage.

THE LAST HOPE OF JOY FLED.
TO M..,.
I had one faint hope of joy left,
One fond hope ! —but that hope is past;
By M * * * J have been bereft
Os that faint hope, which was the last.
Yes ! the last hope of joy is fled,
The last dream of pleasure is o’er,
Nought have 1 now, to hope or dread,
Nought shall ever disturb me more.
To that faint hope I long did cling,
Though reason told me I was wrong,
But age can only wisdom bring,
And tame the passions of the young.
But who is there in life’s gay morn,
An w hose youthful breast love’s fire glow's,
Tmtt would not risk the pois’uous thorn,
To gather a beautiful rose ?
And w ho is there in that gay inorn,
That hath not in some thoughtless hour,
Been wounded by that pois’nous thorn,
In plucking its beautiful flow’r?
’Twas cruel, M„*, thus to treat
Him, who once loved you so;
And who ne’er should ill usuage^neet,
From any one, much less from you.
Fortho’ I’ve gay and thoughtless been,
Fin ever ready to agree ;
But M # , thou hast never seen,
One lone attempt to injure thee:
For he who’d gaze on thy fair form,
And have one thought of harming thee,
Would e’er exult amidst life’s storm,
Aud mock man in his misery.
But I have been one lessen taught,
I think ’twill Inst ine nil my days;
Which is,to ne’er again be caught,
Travelling in love’s thorny ways.
For many rest their hopes of joy
On earth, upon frail womankind,
Who foolishly their time employ,
And seldom do true pleasure find.
Forme henceforth each future day,
Shall through life ever happy be,*
Except that one the fifth ot May,
W hen 1 shall surely think ol thee.

A Rogue Caught. —T he Berks
and Schuylkill Journal states that
Doctor Janies Hamilton, alias Ran
dolph Bedford,alias G. Gallop,who
married a lady in Woodstock, Ver
mont, in July, 1822, and another in
Bellville, New Jersy in June last,
and afterwards deserted both in a
most shameful manner, was appre
hended and committed to jail in
Reading on Friday morning last.—
He had sunk the doctor in the shoe
maker and being well dressed recei
ved immediate employment as a
journeyman -but he was soon found
to be so indifferent a workman, that
his employers were convinced he
could not be a shoemaker by pro
fession. Suspicions were exciled,
and his dress and person were
found to correspond so exactly
with the description given in Mr.
Tomkin’s advertisement that the
magistrate before whom he was
brought, did not hesitate a moment
to make out a mittimus.
The plant vulgarly called poke

The United States schooners
Greyhound and Beagle have des
troyed a piratical establishment at
Cape Cruz, on the south side of
Cuba. It was on the 22d July that
this hiding place was discovered:
Capt Kearny sent boats towards
the shore, which were fired upon by
the pirates with small cannon. Ihe
boats were obliged to retire until
the schooners could be warped in
shore so as to defend the landing
of the men in the boats. Ihe pi
rates then fled into the woods where
they could not be followed. They
left 3 four pounders, 2 swivels, pis
tols, cutlasses, and eight large boats,
all which were taken off by Capt.
Kearney. In a gloomy and fright
ful cave, 150 feet from the entrance,
near where the pirates forfeited
themselves, was found a large quan
tity of broadcloths, clry goods, fe
male dresses, sadlery, &c. besides
many human bones—supposed to
be those of unfortunate persons
taken and put to death. Iwo old
men, who could not run with the
rapidity the others did, were taken.
T heir houses or huts were burnt.
FROM MATANZAS.
‘ Capt. Pearson, arrived at Charles
ton, who left Matanzas about the
11th inst. stales, that theU. S.
schr. Grampus, Lieut Com’dt
Gregory, was at anchor abreast of
the Fort, and examined all vessels
and boats, whether going in or com
ing out. She has three launches
among the Keys, and off Point De
Cayacas, and one between the point
which forms the Bay of Matanzas
—so that Piracy in that quarter is
down for the present. On the 9th
inst. the Governor sent his boat on
board of the Grampus, to demand
of Capt. Gregory his motive for
lying so long in port —that if be
wanted provisions or water, he had
been there long enough ; that the
government did notallow their own
vessels of war to remain at anchor
longer than 48 hours at one time,
&c. —Capt Gregory’s reply was,
that he came there for the protec
tion of American commerce, and
that of Spain if necessary ; and that
he would remain there as long as
mi ght be required tor these objects
or until compelled by force to re
tire.
Capt. Person also states, that the
inhabitants of Matanzas,were much
dissatisfied with the length of Capt.
Gregory’s visit ; whose exertions
for the suppression of Piracy-, were
very great. A 7 f. paper.

was a genuine patriot of the good old stamp,
and had, bv a steady and firm devotion to the
interest ofhis country,in the raosttiying times,
well earned the honor w inch his native state
bestowed upon him. With entegrity ami sta
