The editor of the Baltimore Federal Gazette
ll’ publishes the following extract of a letter from
London, with the remarks that it comes from a
“,source so respectable as to entitle it to undoubted
credit, and thatthe change of affairs in Spain it
speaks of, is not at all improbable.
“ Politically we have little news. The meet-
. ing of the Sovereigns at Aix-la-Chapelle is the
occurrence that will attract much attention. Let-
ters from Spain speak of it as an event not to be
doubted that a revolution will break out there ve-
ry shortly having for its object the expulsion of
Ferdinand ; the recal of the banished Liberales,
and the-old King Charles to be put at the head of
a representative government. It is said efforts
will be made to obtain the sanction of the assem-
bled Sovereigns for this netvordcr of things.”

A letter from a mercantile house in.London of
y the date of the 7th_»ol7 August last, received in this
.3" 1 city, (says the Baltimore Patriot of-Oct. 12th)
Q conveys intelligence that the English ship Cum-
berland. of 1200 tons and-60 guns, has been sold
to the Patriot Government of Cl1ili,in South A-
’ i znerica, and that its arrival atthe port of Valpa-
1.’ raise, in that country, was expected in the month
ii’ of May. The Englisli ship iVVyndh"am, of 840
tons and mounting 40 guns, also bought by the
government of Chili, was already ordered against
the -Spanish frigate Venganza——'l‘hat with this
force, and 2 other well armed English brigs of
d 22 guns each, well manned and commanded,
' which were dispa_tched from Buenos Ayres toVal-
pal-also,’ it was believed that the Patriots would
gain the ascendency in the Pacific and all the
coast of Lima, as their maratime strength was
b far stiperior to any Spanish force in thoseseas.
'i be two vessels constructed in the United States
. by l)on._.»,M.uiuel Auguire, would be there too
late to be of any service in the enterprize of the
-Patriots against the I-loyalists of Peru.

Thculdacedoniau Frigate, «which ‘sailed from '
Bositoin a few weeks ‘since, bbund for the Pacific
Ocean,p.ut into Norfolk, on the 101h.inst. in dis-
tress, having encountered a very severe gale, in
lat. 35, 37, long.‘ 55. The gale commenced on
‘me garb Sept. from "5. E. and shifted to N. 'w_. on
the 27th, during. which her mize'n mast was Cal‘-~
iied away ; her fo'_re_ and main masts sprung, and
was ¢ompelled‘to cut away her fore and maiii top
masts,‘ with the loss of other spars, and 3 boats.
A Norfolk article, announcing this disaster,‘con-
tains the following ':‘—-“ The Macedoilian -sailed
from Boston on the 2 1st‘ of -last month, bound to
the. Pacific Oicean, completely fitted for at two
years eruize. ‘The trimin, which she left that
part could scar'cely‘.be exceeded '; but now how
altered! After being only six ‘days at sea, she
returns to port with no other vestige of her for-
-mer grandeur, than lier‘ wooden walls,’ and in ap-
pearance, precisely. as she entered- the port of
New-York, when "a prize to the gallant Decatur.
The tempest is represented to have been in’-
describably awful’, and the situation of the Mace-
donian perilous in the extreme.’
'I‘h'e brig Albatros, Capt. Joseph Phippen, of
Salem, on her passage from Faulkland, Islands
from a sealinggvoyage, was knocked down on her
beam ends, in a gale on the 31st Aug. On _cut-
ting away the mainmast, the brig righted, when
. all hands were swept from the deck. the sea mak-
ing a breach over her, and the captain and five
of the crew were drowned. 'I'he-"mate and three
'others,'succe_eded in regaining the wreck, and of-
‘terremaining therefive days, were taken off by
an English brig, and have since arrived at East-
‘port. ' ‘ ‘
Ailetter from Detroit of the 18th ult. says'—-
"‘ Governor Cass has gone to light a grand conti-

- We learn from Mary’s (VVest) that the ob-
7ject of a treaty recently held by Commissioners
v ’_g _‘of the United States with the Wyaiidot Indians,
' has beep accomplished. A treaty had been made
with them, some time in the summer of 1818,’
for the purchase of their titlé1to;§;larg-e quantity
of lands : which the senate of th'é"’5;U1iite(l States
refused to ratify, but with certain alterations.-
T_hose‘alterations ig was the purpose of the nego-
ciation just terminatedto procure; and the con-
seat of the Indians’ has been given thereto.

draw upon him for that amount, which he did.

On Long Island, in the short space of 15 min-
utes after the mar: iage ceremony ofhis sister was
concluded,Mr. Sam’! Woocgl-wa'rd,aged :20. Having
been for some weeks alilicted with a pulmonary
complaint, from which he had but little hopes of
recovering, he was desirousto see his sister mar-
ried before he left the world ; she kindly consen-
ted to his request. He was comfortable that eve-
ning as he had been for several days past ; walk-
ed about the house, took supper with the family,
and sat in his chair during the evening. But
scarcely had this amiable and promising man wit-
nesscd the joyful union of his sister with the man
of her heart, before his eyes were closed in death.
A blood vessel broke, and being weak, he sunk
under the loss of blood and. died in his chair.-—
How striking does this event shew that in the
midst of life we are in the midst of_ death, that in
the midst of joy we are in the midst ofsorrow.-—
Hislast words were, ‘ I’m going, I’m going, God
have mercy on me,’ arid died with a piece of
wedding cake in his hand. .
