Fgite of the Pilot__§oat Patriot.--It willbe re’-
collected by many of our readers that during the
late-war with Engla_nrl,_tlie above" named pilot boat
was dispatclied lto.Charl<-zston .for. "the purpose of
bringing to this city Mrs. ./Jllstan, l'a'dy. of tli_e"then'
J_3_tirr, fortnerly Vice President of the _U. Staths.
Mrs. Allston was in a delicate state of healiii'i"a't'
the time, and unable to travel land. Tiriiotliy
Greene, Esq. of this city, an intimate friend’ of
Gov. Allston’s family, pioceedetl to‘.Charleston
in the pilot boat, for the purpose ‘ofaccompanying
-Mrs. A on the voyage. From the time they
embarl-zed and sailed from Charleston no tidings
whatever had ever been heard of the vessel or any
one on board. It was at first supposed that the
vessel must have been captured by a British crui-
zer, but after a lapse oftime that hope was aban-
doned. Notwithstanding the weather was mild
and favorable for several days after the vessel left
Charleston, and such as to render her loss myste-
rious, up to the present time, no other idea of
the -melancholy circumstance had prevailed than
that the vessel must have foundered at sea,or run
under during a chase. '
But the mystery is at length developed——l'or
the honor of human nature, it were to he wished
that the facts had never been revealed, and that
the following horrible tale had been buried with
the iiwetclies who told it.
A. gentleman recently from New-_Or.leans, has
communicated to a friend of the family of thelate
Mr. Gi‘een'e," that two of the piratcslately senten-
ced to suffer death at New-Orleans, confessed
that they composed part of the crew of the above
pilot boat Patriot I that after being at sea 2 or 3
days, and near the sliore, they rose upon the cap-
tain and passengers, and confined them below-—-
w hen they stood close in shore, and after plunder-
ing the passengers of a coiisidei'able sum of mon-
ey and plate liclriiigiiig mostly td Mrs. AllstmL
they launched the boat and scuttled the vessel,
which soon filled. and went down, with the un-
fortunatt: initiates confined below 1 The dreadful
tragedy was perforined in the dead of night.—-
These wretches ‘:UCCC<'(lf'3(l in reaching the shore
with the boat, and had thus far escaped detection -,
and punishment oftuis horrible Crime. '

Yellow 1v‘avc-r.-—A letter was received yetertlay
morning hum a gentleman in Charleston, stating
that two cases ufycliow fever had just occurred
in that city I t was supposed to have been im-
ported in a vessel from the I-lavana.
The brig Sea Island. Capt. titow, from St. Ja-
go dc-‘Cubs, arrived l.-.st week in the Connecticut
river. A custom house officer from Middletown,
went on bo‘ard at 5a)‘bt‘00k., and on Friday afte-
noon, when the vessel p:.lS;zt.‘(l Mitlclletovvn for
Hartford, the Ct:SlOl‘t1llOllSr‘OfliC6l'CZ1:llC on shore
at Middletuwn, sick, and dies‘ the next morning.
His son, a boy at‘ 12 year‘; ofage, who had been
on board with him, and slept in the mate's birth, _
was very ill, and not expected to live. Two of
the crew had died at St. Jago, and two on the pas-
sage. The captain had left the brig and gone to
Hartford, where he was also taken sick. The
brig was anchored in the stream, between Hart-
ford and Middletowu.
The foregoing is confirmed by a letter from
lartford, dated Sunday night, to the editor ofthc
Evening Post. This letter states the sickness to
be ‘ fever.’
DIEBTRUCTIVIZ l~‘IRl'I.
June 23.;-—Yesterday moi hing, between 4- and :3‘
o’clock, a fire broke out in the Distillery in lllt:
rear of Broadvvay, between \Vhite and VVall-zcr
streets. The flames spread with the greatest ra-
pidity. and before they were got under destroyed
and iiialciially injured about 27 buildings, several
of them new and valuable brick houses. All the
block fronting on Broadwa_v, between the two
streets above m::n‘ti«med_, with the exception of
three houses next to \Vhite street, are destroy-
ed, and two of those three much injured. The
roofs and rears of tour brick houses in VVliite st.
next to l‘li'oa«lway, are tlestruyerl, and in W'alker
street, the fire has extended t"i'om Broadway to
the house of Mr. Peter Mackie. The fire origin-
ated in t..ram’s Disillcry of spiritous liquors.
which was entirely consumed.
The loss of property, it is said, will exceed
100,000 (l0ll(.'l'S. A considerable portion, we un-
derstand, was insui-e.l.
A lad named i\’aylor. in Reed st. was so much
injured by the falling of some of=lie ruins, that
he was taken to the hr..,nit:tl. where he expired
in the forcnoon. Mr. M’li:iosh, a fireman, was
much l)i‘uiSt:(l by the fail of at chimney. Ch-attics
VV. Abrams, a fireman, was so much overcome
by the heat that he was taken to the hospital ina, .
dangerous situation. Mr. Vifheattoii, Ll carpenter,
had his leg broke while retnuvivig some pioperzy.
A young; man named llasliiiis. about 16 years
old,‘ saved the life ofa child, by entering the win-
dow ofone of the buildings which viz.-'3 so far con-
sumed that no other person had the courage to
aftemptit. The root" fell in immediately after-
wards. This gallant youth fl.IlVi0W:: the sea, and
we understand has applied for a midshipman’s
warrant in the navy. May success attend him.

AWFUL 8: DEiSOLATING FIRE AT TROY.’
A most awful and desolating fire broke out in
the city of Troy, yesterday about 4 o’clock, P.M.
which has laid in ruins one third of the fairest
portion of that flourishing city. The number
of buildings destroyed is about 120, among which
are some of the best dwellings, and a great pro-
portion of the largest and most substantial Fire
prool stores and store houses. On river or Main
street, all the stores and buildings of every kiiid,
oirthe west,‘sitle,and‘extending to the water’s"_edge,
from Gale’s store to Dr. Corning’s, both ofwlzicli
are saved ;' and on the east side, from Congress
street to and including Parkei-’s bookstore, are
destroyed ;‘ as are all the buil_din'gs_except two,
(the Troy bank and a dwelling house) on the west
side of Front or Second street, to the same ex-
tent as on the side east of Main street ; and the
estimated lossis a Ilrilzlli/nz of Dollars.

The ‘fire commenced at Mr. Davis’ stable and.
wood house,,from a cook stove; spread in differ-
ent directions both sides of River or Main street,
and all but two houses burnt on the west side of
Front or Second street, from Congress street to
Titus’ tavern.

._.nf1"s7alz'g-nan! Fever.-_-—A number ofcases of un-
cbmmonly malignant fever, have lately occurred
'of.Fishkill, in the vicinity of the mountains. VVe,
understand that it is not considered a Typhus by
the Physicians; but is as confagious as Yellow
Fever. Four persons assisted iniperforming the
last duties to one of its victims, allof whom are
said to be now ill of this terrible disease. _ ‘
A brother and -a student of Dr. Gilbert, of
Beekman. who weieattackerl by it, are both dead,
and the Doctor himself.-lias been dangerously ill,
btst’~is‘now convalescent. _
A very respectable medical gentleman of Fish-
kill,‘-who has had several patients afilicted with
this disease,'is said to have declared that be con-
sidered it as contagious as the Yellow Fever ever
was in the city of New-lr'oi'k.—._Hcra{d.
L/Igood Haul.-—A lad by the namcofBrooklngs,
hunting one day last week for an eel pot, stink at
the uppear side of Greenlcaf’s wharf, fished up a
,small canvass bag containing five bars of pure
Gold, weighing 18 ounces, the value of which is
said to be something more than 300 dollars.
Gentlemen who were on the stage of action
during the American revolution-.-try war, account
for itsbeing lost, in the following manner: A
privatcer schr. called the Hawk, comntanded by
the intrepid Jack Lee, captured and sent in among
other prizes, an English brig bound ftsoin Oporto
to England, loaded with wine; she also had on
board a large amount of dollars, as well its gold in
bullion, dust and coin. It was not known by the
captors, at the time she was taken, that these pre-
cious metals were on bor.rd~_...the mate of the brig
(who remained in the prize) kept it from the
knowledge ofthe prize master, hoping they might
be fallen in with and recaptured. She, however,
arrived safely, and came to the wharf where this
gold was found. It is conjectured that in at-
tempting to smuggle some of it ashore, it was
either accidently dropped, or designedly thrown
overboard to prevent (ietection—-it is recollected
that several men were imprisoned for embez-
zling it.—-Ncwt5ur;./fzorr H;-m_Id_
xlfurirzy and 'Zl1'ur(!cr.-—-Several of the crew of
a piratical vessel, have been arrested at Charles-
IOD: VVilmingtoii_, Norfolk, New-York, Sxc. and
committed for ti'ial. _It appears, from what iii-
foimation has been gathered, that the privuteer
from which these men ‘landed, was called the
Gen. Rondcau, and .s:iiled_ from Buenos Ayres in
Dec. 1819, on a cruise, nuclei‘ the command of
David M. Miles ; they were out about 5 months,
took several prizes, and sent them for M-.trgai-ei-
ta. The next day after passing. the Island of
Barhadoc-S. the crew mutined and rose upon the
ofricers, and after killing the first lieutenant, the
remainder of the ollicers were sent ashore inn
boat. The crew having obtained the cornmand,
sailed for the United States, and when near VVil_-
mington, they plundered the privateer and divided
the property; after which they scuttled her and
laiided, and scattered in various directions. Va-
rious circumstanccs led to a belief that they had
been engaged in some piratical euiei-prize, which
proved to be the case on their examination. It
is believed they have been guilty of the most
atrocious excesses; and every exertion is making
to arrest those who have escaped.

1"rom St‘. ./luguszi/2c.—-A serious disturbance
took place at ht. Augustine, on Friday, Gd inst.
An ofiicer of the regiment of Malaga, it appears,
had struck a soldier belonging to the regiment of
Catalonia, stationed there ; which so exasperated
the latter regiment that they sallied out in a mass
in the evening, thrcatning. vengeance against all
belonging to the former regiment. .Mztny guns
were cliscliargctl into some houses, but no lives
lost. The Governor finally succeeded in resto-
ring order in the garrison ; btit 52.3 men of the
Catalonia regiment deserted with their arms, (ill-

We have had the satisfaction, says the Aurora,
to peruse some most interesting advices from

syth had arrived at that place in good health.
The Presitleiit, Bolivar, af[._r:i' ttttiactiiigtlte at-
tention of the i'nyal forces, by nzovenients on the
upper waters ofthc Apurc ; and by frerpicnt chan-
ges of position, liadmade ti powerful diversion in
fttvor of the expedition from Ivl-r.rgai‘itta, under
Gen. Mariano Montilla, who was destined against
Rio de la Hacha. Gen. Paez was in motion on
the Casanare, and a force of 6000 men for disci-
pline, assembled on the Apure, who had waited
for a supply of arms which had been long expect-
ed, and had recently arrived. The division of
Gen. Cadenio hail surprised the head quarters of
a division of the royal army, autl made prisoners
of the royal troops in two Caserues ; a third made
some resistance, and were put to the sword.
VVhile these operations were going on, the
President had secretly left his quarters, with or-
ders to the second in command, and with only
fourdragoons passed the Cordilleras, and appear-
ed at Santa Fe dc Bogota ; where, in a few days,
he organized’ two corps of 3000 men each ; put
one in‘ movement for Popayan, and the otherifor
Quito; and having established a plan of concert
there,-he returned by the same route, and was a-
gain at the head of his troops at Achagua, before
it was generally known where he had been".

brought forward his motion for a secret commit-
tee to inquire into the trcasonable practices alle-
ged -against Edwards the spy. The motion was
rejected without a division, but the worthy Alder-
man pledged himself to follow tip the investiga-
tion by prosectiting Edwards for high treason zit
his own expense ; and from the obscrvaiionsimade
by Ministers upon this pi'oi‘nise, there seems n-‘.2
reason to fear that the inquiry will be stifled by a.

' On the same evening, sir Janies ".\’I’Intosh, nib-

on Thursday night Mr. Maberly called the atten-
tion of Ministers to the financial circumstances of
the country ; with a view, it appeared, ofsuggcsfy
ing a commutation of the whole body of the as-
sessed taxes, for a property tax to the amount of
ten Millions. The chancellor‘ of the exchequer
declined giving any pledge as to the course v;hir.l-.
he would pursue; but from the terms of his re-
ply, thcre is reason to hope that some such per-
m'an_ent and comprehensive measure of rational
finance may be substituted, for the destiltory sys-

This paper C-'OI‘1'tttll'|S Paris dates from the 3th
to- ‘the llth May. Fresh difficulties appear to
have sprung up. At Lyons, serious symptoms
of disloyalty have appeared, and the troops refu-
sed to act against the people. Paris is very
gloomy, and the Royal Family are evidently alar-
med. The Duke d’Angouleme has been openly
insulted in his tour to the south; and an officer.
bearing the written pass-word fiom the palace of
iVlonsit:ur to the barracks of the guard du cor/zs,
was attacked on VVednesday night, by three as-
sassins, desperaicly wounded. and deprived of the
paper. Ilis loss, however, zeing instantly made
known by him, the pass-word was changed.
Another atrocious attc pt against the Royal
Family has been detected and defeated. Inform-_
ation of the plot was received, and a man named
Gi'aviei's,late 8. captain in the 5th Ptcgt. of Lan-
cers, of Bonaparte’s Guard, was arrested in the.
act of !SCll.ll'I_€?_' fire to the mztterials for an explo-
sion under the windows ofthe Dutchess dc Ber-
