' “ Ilavuna, May .1, 1818.
“Dearsir-—I now, for the first time since I
have been a prisoner, ‘lifave- had ‘it in my power of
informing you of ‘my tniscrablc -situation.” I
thought my sullfe rings were great befor-e_ Ivlandcd
in Mcxico—-as soon as we landed I foundthat we
were all lost. Itlicnigtot,permission togreturn
home, and was on board of a ship to'.t‘eturn to the
United States; but unfortunately fimtne, she was
captured a few days before she was to have sail-
cd. I made my escape to the shore, and went to
Mina’s fortification, which mounted‘8 p'iec_cs of"
ted to 100 men. Mina entered the country with
600 men. The fort in which I was, was attacked
on the 12th June, 1817 ; there wasa cannonading
bctwecti the royalists and the patriots until the
15th,‘ when the royalists,‘f1nciing their force so
mu‘cl'i=supetior, came within grape and musket
shot with 18 pieces of cannon, and 2500 men.-
The fort held out for ten hours. Americans
in the fort, amounting to 20,‘ fotfhd they had to do
all the fighting; the remainder were Spaniards
and Frenchmen, who proved cowa ds, although
they declarcd'th‘ey wotild blow opt to fort before
they would be taken. The Americans, finding
they were either to be taken by storm, and put to
the sword, or be blown up, thought it best to pre-
sent ourselvcs—-I presented myself and‘ the fort
capitulated. The terms of capitulation were-'—
that the lives of the garrison should be spared,
and that they should be sent to their respective
countries. They have allbecn held as crimin-
als, and loaded with irons. Those who present-
ed themselves with me, had their libertyifor ten
days--passports were promised-them, and assur-
ances given of being sent home; we have, how-
ever, been detained as prisoners. I have not, as
yet, had any irons on me. I was sent to a town
called Attemuden, where I remained for two
months. I lost all my clothing, with the excep-
tion of those I had on when I presented myself;
I have been nearly naked 'ever since and covered '
with vermin. From this town I was sent,‘ in
company with fifteen ofliccrs, likewise prisoners‘,
through the country nearly to Mexico, and then
on to Vera Cruz. The distance I travelled was
300 leagues, the greater part of which was the
worst road I ever travelled in my life, and over
mountains which took us live and six days to
cross. \Vhen we got near Mexico, we found a
a lovely. country_on to Vera Cruz. The road
from Mexico to Vera Cruz is the hantlsomcst '3‘
ever saw. I remained in Vera Cruz until the 5th
April, almost starved, and nearly destitute of
clothing. My allowallce was four. us.«mce,s of
bread pct‘ day, with_twclve spoons of rice, thi'ec
times a day.
From Vera Cruz I was sent to this place, and,
since my detention here, have written to several
Americans, but never found one that would say—-
No; experience has
taught me to know, that when a man becomes
reduced, there are few that will cast towartlshim
a look, from which a conclusion might be drawn
that the heart felt sympathy ! In a short time I

Remarkable aft/zroaclz of an io'lu7I(l of ice to our
sI2arcs.—-VVe have been favored withan extract
of a letter from Tburso, dated April 29th, which
assures us that an iceberg, or‘an island of ice,
has actually been stranded upon the Island of
Fowlu, the most western of the Shetland Islands.
This iceberg is said to extend fu_ll six miles in
length ; and is of course an object of terror to
the natit'e§. _Fo_wla, or Fula, in lat. 60, 8, N.

ited by 26 or 27 families.

Extract of a letter,\dated Lisbon, March 9.0.
“ By a vessel just arrived in our harbour from
Rio Janciro, we have received the very extraor-
dinary news (and quite official) that the Emperor
of China, and all the great Mandarins of his
Court, have embraced Christianity ; which reli-
gion is henceforth to be considered as the estab-
lished one in China, to thetotal exclusion of all
others . The vessel has on board two Portu-
gucse missionaries, one a Jesuit and the other a
Monk of the Third Order of St. Francis, who
are bearers of rich presents, and also a letter writ-
ten by his Chinese majesty to the Pope, acknowl-
edging his supremacy 1 Nothing could exceed
the rejoicings which took place at Rio Janeiro
on this occasion. The city was illuminated three
nights in succession, and their most Faithful Ma-
jeslies, with every branch of the Royal Family,
paid their respects to Monsignorc, the Archbish-
op of Dcmetrio, Nuncio Apostolic to the Bra-
zilian Court. The city of Pekin is erected into
a Patriarchate ; the Patriarch is a Portuguese
monk, from Macoa, of the order of St. Francis.
Pckin has also an inquisition, which is under the
direction of some Portuguese Inquisitors from
Goa. The education of all classes is invested in
the hands of the Jesuits, as well as the high ‘of-
licers of state. The confcssor of the Emperor is
a Portuguese Jesuit, and declared by law the next
person in the Empire to the Sovereign ; and an
unlimited power_inv'esterl in his hands. These
crafty men have adopted the Chinese costume,
and are more splendidly clothed than any of the
mandarins. The Jesuits have received the privi-
lege to wear their nails an inch longer than any
of the nobility, the Princes of the blood except-
other ci\A§;'_taken, who -has been shot, by the ‘cd; and any_Mandarin who dare presume to have
his slippers within two inchcsas long as the slip-
pers of the Priests, is to be punished with death.
The missionaries brought for the Court of Bra-
vils some magnificent pieces of China, on which
is‘ depicted the audience of Lord Amherst with
his Chinese Majesty ; and those facetious orien-
talists have had the audacity to caricature that
splenditlembassy, which would have done honor
to the first and most brilliant Court inliurope.
