the affair created‘ considerable sensation.
[A letter received by amercantile house in

the Consulado of Havana, states that, although
considerable excitement was caused by the arri-
val of the cartels with the intelligence from Pen"-

by our citizens,‘ as no hostile measures would be "
‘adopted in consequence. The cartels were refu-

A Cirltnnizsroiv, July 3.
from St. ./flag-z1.s~ti'nc.-—Capt. Bateson, of the
;,loop Frolic, who arrived here thismorning, left
St. Augustine yesterday. He informs usthat
31 Spanish corvette of 26 guns, a brig of .20 gun_s,
and an hermaphrodite brig of 18 guns, arrived
off that place on Sundaylast, in a short passage
from Havana, having under convoy two schoo-
hers, loaded ivith munitions of war, clothing,
provisions, and about 20,000 dollars in doubloons,
for the use and pay of the soldiers at that post.
The Vessels of war sailed again on Monday and
Tuesday. No certain information had been re-
ceived at St. Augustine of the fall of Pensacola ;
.a report of it had reached there, but it was after-
wards contradicted ; and they remained in doubt
and uncertainty upon the subject. A large body
of Indians, with their women and children, were
encamped within about 5 miles of St. Augustine,
and a number of them daily visited the town.—-
The garrison, which amounts to about 400 men,
"i ' were much elated-by this timely supply of cloth-
ing, provisions and money, which they had long
been looking for. -

that on the lsth inst. while that vessel in co.
with several others were in the bay o_f Fundy, af-
ter having paid their light money, and obtained
the privilege of getting bait in said bay, they were
captured by H. B. M. sloop of war Syren, and
-sent into the harbour of Digby, where they were
stripped of their sails Src.
The crew of the Cyrus King, on the third
night after being carried in, got: the keeper of
their vessel intoxicated, went into the custom
house store, where they obtained a schooner’s

Gallant Ex]2loz't.--Captain James Turner, of
Buksport, Maine, in the schr: EightSisters, hav-
ing 100 qtls. cod-fish on board, was taken by the
‘L-‘iritish ‘stoop oi war Wye, Capt. J. Harper, while
'fishing off Bryer Island (Nova Scotia) on the,
-15th June last.‘ The crew were put on board the
‘schr. which was carried into Digby. After lying
there 12 days, one Thomas Sarldler, prize mas-_
ter, and three British seaman, were ordered on
board, and proceeded towards Halifax. On the
night of the 28th June, Capt. Turner carefully
secured the fire arms and cutlasses to his own
use, while the prize master and one other man
' were asleep—-fastened them below without being
discovered, and then took a pistol in his hand and
gave his ordersto the two on deck, who obeyed ;
he arrived near Macliais on the day following and
landed the prize master and one man ; and again
set sail and arrived at Buckport on the 3d July in
triumph. I certify the above to be true.

‘ Swarms of Locusts (says the Northampton Ga-
zette) have recently appeared in this part of the
country, extending upon the right bank of Con-
necticut river twenty or thirty miles south of this
town. It is impossible to measure the extent of
the injury they are doing to the timber. Many
trees are even now apparently dead. The female
locusts are armed with a sting of nearly the third
of an inch in length, and of the stiffness and point
of a wire sharpened. They attach themselves
to the under side of the small limbs, and coni-
mence the process of stinging. Their prog-
ress is to the extremity of the limb, which is as
distinctly marked as it could be by obliquely
puncturing the limb with an awl, and so raising
the awl at each puncture as to crack the bark in
a regularly continued, and unless impeded, by
some obstruction, in nearly a right line. There
are about three incisions to an inch, each pene-
trating to the heart of the limb, which.is filled
with small worms, or eggs, of-.tlie color and ap-
pearance of very small kernels of rice, but dis-
tinctly visible to the naked eye. We are not a-
ble to state further particulars in relation to these
ruinous insects, nor when nor where they first
appeared, nor precisely how far they have extend-
ed themselves—-but their progress so far as we
have seen is as marked as the progress of fire.

The Hessian Fly is said to have done great

of Albany. In some parts of Bethlehem, Guil-

mount to as much as the seed sown.
The cotton crops, &c. in some parts of Geor-

Threeor four houses and stores were destroy-

A Great Gun.---A late Calcutta paper gives a
description of the great gun, which was taken by
the British in the fort of Argo, when it surren-

The prize agents at Calcutta valued the metal

THE importance ofB1ocnArn1', has been so
often urged, that it would be useless to urge itin
this place. Next to history, it is the mostiinpor-
tant branch of human knowledge. How invalu-
able would be the acquisition to the libraries of
Americans could they even now be furnised with
mere Sketches of the LIVES of the Members of
the “ OLD CoNon1~:ss,” and of the “ R1~:vor.u-
TIONARY PATRIOTS ?” Their memories will al-
ways survive, but their lives are unknown. The
object of the proposed work is to (furnish a suc-
cinct Biography of Major General ANDREVV
JACKSON. It is understood that a large work
has recently been published, giving the life of
this GREAT MAN. It has not been seen by the
author of the work here proposed. His unvary-
ing object will be to present the reader with a
plain, unvarnished narrative, of an American
Hero, who has so nobly aided in the-'secui'ity of
the Independence acquired by the exalted patriots
in the Army of the Revolution. I-Iis memoirs
ought to be in the hands of every American..
