From Hayli.—-A letter from S. I-lunting-ton,Esq
to his brother in Boston, dated Jacquemel, St.
Domingo, July 2, says, “ Christophe is but 13
leagues from Port au Prince, on his way to make
war with the Republic, with most of his army.
The people here are in high spirits-—ready and
anxious to meet him,_and confident of success.
“ The produce of this country is so exceeding-
ly scarceiand high, that many vessels, which have
been here several months from Europe, are obli-
+, god to wait for the next crop for their cargoes.”
The VVashington Gazette says,“ an impres-
sion has gone abroad since the President’s return,
and the subsequent deliberations of the cabinet
on Gen. Jackson’s despatches, that Pensacola will
continue,~for the pres:-nt,.to be held in the occu-
pation ofthe U. States’ troops ; that the general’s
movements in Florida were considered as justi-
fiable by the existing treaties as well_ asthe crit-
ical circumstances, which led him toattenipt the
extii'pation of an inveterate enemy from our bor-
ders ; and that affairs in this quarter will prob-
ably remain in scam qua, till the subject is bro't
before Congress, if farther provocation, in the
mean time, does not demand more energetic
measures to secure frontier tranquility.
The President (says the Savannah Republican
of the 14th inst.) has issued orders for the arrest
of capt. Obed \vVright, which the marshal of the
district will execute forthwith. A special court
has also been ordered for the trial of \Vright, to
be held in Septemberhext. in this city or Mil-
Io.-dgeville, at which two of the judges of the su-
_ preme court are to preside. \Vright is charged
with having committed murder at the destruction
of the Chehaw town.
A gentleman who visited the city of Caracas,
some months since (says the VVashington‘ City
Gazette.) informs ustlrat its population is redu-
ced to about 7,000 ir.-haoitants. Prior to the
Earthquake in lvlarch, 41312, it was e.sjtirn.~.ted to
‘ izoiituin "n'ear 45,000; s"dc‘h an astonishing de-
crease mav be attributed to some of the most
dreadful calamities that can aliiict the human fam-
ily, namely, earthquakes, war,and famine. The
population iu many other parts of Venezuela is
supposed to have suffered nearly in the same
proportion, and from the same causes.
S,*.am'slz Ouzrage.—-The brig Lady Mary Pel-
Iiam, Schuyler, arrived at New-York from But-
deaux, was overhauled, on the 14th June, by two
Spanish government vessels, the largest: mount-
ing 24 guns, and treated in a l]'l0SfIlll-1’ui10l1S man-
ner-—lired into several times ; was ordered to
send a boat on board, and when in the act of low-
ering it,_(beiug within half pistol shot of the
Spanish brig,) a volley of muskctry was fired in-
to his vessel ; and it was owing to good fortune
that no one was killed, for the balls struck in dif-
ferent parts of her. - Capt. Schuyler supposed
from this treatment, that there was war between
Spain and the United States, and enquired of one
of the Spanish office1‘s. if this was the fact, who
answered no, but they expected a: rleclaratiouof
war hourly, and wished it SlY1CCl't:ly——that 1}-_g
Spaniards would give the Americans segars to
smoke if there came a war, and was very lavish
§n.hl5 abllsea and said positively that they were
recommenderl by the Captain General of the Ha-
vana, not to respect any American flag. ‘Capt.
Schuyler believes these vessels were from Ha-
vana; but this outrage could not have been in
consequence of the capture of Pensacola, for it
was not taken at .the time they musthave lcft
Havana. ,
On the 23d of June, the ship Caroline, Serrill,
of Philadelphia, was fired into by a Spanish brig
several times, which greatly injured the S'.1Il5,3CC.
Captain S. was orderedon board the brig, where
he was shamefully abused,‘ but they would assign
no reason forthe outrage. ' "
A privateer brig has arrived in the Chesapeake,
under a Buenos-Ayrean flag, commanded by a
hoatswain, the crew of which state, that they had
risen upon the ‘oliicers of the vessel, and had car-
ried her into the VVest-Indies, where they had
landedtlie officers, and taken a receipt from theiii
ackn_owledging that fact. They produced this
‘receipt, to pr0\c,110 doubt, that they had not kil-
led them. At the mouth of Severn river, they
sold about 80 barrels of Irish Pork and Beef, the
former at $12 per bbl. They appeared to have
plenty of money.
A Spanish brig has been captured on the banks
(Says it New-01'leans paper) by a patriot schoon-
er, who murdered the captain, put the crew on
board an American brig, arrived at Havana, and
then made off with the prize. '
Calfialn H0110”: of the sloop Lewis, on his way
down ‘the North River, on the 18th inst. picked

Drcarlful E.z‘[z{osz'o_7z-'-—The explosion ‘of the
powder mill at Saint Jean d’Angcly, wa's produc-
tive of the most disastrous effects. Upwards of
one /zzmdred and fifty houses were thrown, down or
rendered ua.-iyzlzabitable ,- ~sz'.rtrcn fzersons were ‘kil-
ed and more than one Irmzclrcd wounded. The
damage is estimated at 1,400,000 francs. The
explosion is stated to have been entirely owing
to the imprudence ofa workman at the mill. . .

have entirely ceased in that city.
‘ Three persons have been sentenced to be ex-

A Paris paper ofJune 1, remarks—-“ VVe_can-
not let the opportunity pass without observing
how wonderfully the credit of France has aug--
mented, and what confidence is inspired by the
present government. The sum subscribed for.
the loanof 16 millions, amounts’ to more than,
ten times the sum wanted I I I They amount to;
above two milliards ‘in capital, and one hundred,
and sixty millions of rents. Industry of every-
‘sort will immediately feel the effects of this con-
fidence, and we may fairly anticipate a flourishing
state for France."
All over France the prospects of plenty are
greater than they have been for many years.
Aterrible firehas almost entirely consumed
the city of Crcntzbourg, in eastern Prussia.‘
Accounts from Algeirs to May 12, state that
the plague still raged there and at Oran.--From
50 to 80 died daily at the former place, and ris-
ing of 100 at the latter. The disease had extended
itself into the territory of Morocco, and was par-
ticularly fatal to a tribe of natives inliabitiuga
tract of country at the foot, and to the eastward
of Mount Atlas. The new Dcy, it appears, was
conducting himself with moderation.
Two sons of the Emperor of Morocco, with
their suite, arrived at Gibraltar on the 17th May,
on their return from a pilgrimage to Mecca.
