sailed -from St. Johns N. B. on the 15th -.lan'.. for
Fvalmouith, with a load -of timber. . -‘On the 7th
Feb. when ab'o'u't half way across the Atlantic‘, the
vessel was overtaken by a heavy gale. The usual
precautions were taken g the gale increased, and.
at 8 o'clock ‘next morning the. vessel tvashove’
to. At ten o'clock she was struck by a tremen-‘
dons sca,which started the stem and split the bow-
split. The wreck was with much difliculty clear-
ed, and they proceeded to relieve the vessel of
her lee deck load, but before the deck could be‘-
‘cleared she was full of water. The captain next
‘ordered the foremast to be cutaway which left the
vessel in a very unmanageable stat‘e.: The sea
by this titne had washed every thing from her
deck, and frotn the time the vessel‘ filled they
found _it,it1tp0ssiblr:V to pro'cur‘e at morsel of any
sort of provisions, or any .water.« On the second
night, from the violence of thesea, the stern was
beaten in, and the after part of the quarter deck
wastorh. up; the binnacle was swept away, and
the rudder r_endcr'etl useless, even had it been pos-
sible to iapproxach that part ofthe ship. There
was on borad a female cabin passenger, and two
male passengers : the whole were on deck from
the first. During the second afternoon and night,
the sea washed over the ship with such violence,
that they could scat'ccl.y keep tlreir hold. When
the day dawned they perceived that the master
and mate had been waslted overboard in the night.
Next morning the carpenter and two lads were
lying dead in the cable tier on the deck. This
morning theyfouud a_ piece of raw salt meat, of
about Blbs weigltt, which was distributed in small
pieces among the eleven survivors. ()n this they
subsisted for two days, but it caused an intolera-
‘ble thirst, and they had not one drop of waterxor
‘any Ithing else _wher'enith to -allay. it. ' ‘ The fe-
male passenger still kept her heart up.bettcr than
some ofthe men.’ They now killed a dog, on
part of which and the loud they (who survived
_to that pr-.riod)_subsisted for six or seven days.—-
_Orrthe fourth day the lemalr: passenger‘ and two
men exp,ir.cd; they were all in in a state of men-
tal derangement for ‘.34 hours previous to the ter-
jnination oftheir suffer_ings.< On the 1-ltlr inst.
ayoung ofman 20 died ; he had pt'eviuusl_v. in a
“fit of derangement, thrown the remains of the
A
sist upon. Both passengers died on the 15th,
and on -the 16 another of the seamen. On that.
rlay,'having been nine days on board in a starving l
state, and from the 14th, when they lost the re-
mains of the dog, until the 16th in the afternoon
without any food whatever, they reluctantly and
sparingly cut a part of the boy’s th-igh, in order to
save them from irnmediate starvation. On the
17th, another seaman died, and on the 18th an-
other. It is a remarkable fact that they all died
in the night, and that all of them were previous-
ly deranged. And such were the sufferings of
the survivors, that they looked with fortitude, and
frequently with hope, for the moment that should
terminate their own existence. The bodies were
all thrown overboard, with the exception of the 3
last, which the survivors had not strength to lift,
being unable to do more than crawl on their hands
and knees. There now only remained two men
who had survived this dreadful visitation of cold,
thirst, and hunger. The weather was moderate,
and on the 141.11 day after the vessel was wreck-
ed, when the day dawned they looked up in utter
hopelessness--when to their incxpressible joy
they saw a vessel close to them. The vessel pro-
ved to be the brig Helen,Capt. Campbell, bound
to London. Capt. C. no sooner beheld the wt't:ck
than he bore down, and irnrncdiately despatched
his boat to rescue the two beings who still existed
upon it. They were treated with every possible
attention by the captain while on board, and W hen
they arrived at Livet'po0l he had them conveyed
to the Vlnfirniary, where they still remain to re-
cruit their strength.

‘ On the 20th of February, we heard that the
Constitutionlof‘Portugal ‘had been declared by the
people ofllahia. All the vessels ofwar in the har-
bour "were making prep'arations to blockade the
harbours to the northward of this place. Don Pe-
dro the eldest son '(')fith'e King was to go to Bahia,
hear the grievances iofthe people and promise a
"redress of grievances strch as "w‘ould.‘conduce to
the happiness ofhis loyal subjects‘. On the 25th,
the King issued a proclamation promising to ap-
point several persons to settle the differences, to
alter such lztws and regulations, and in line would
promise any thi_ng——'-this was soon followed by a-
nother, in which the names of the persons were
mentioned ; to a man they were the late ministry
and creatures of the King. The people became
exasperated, but fearful of expressing their senti-
ments, except to Americans and English-the
citizens not having confidence in the soldiers. On
the morning of thc_27th, ‘the’ military assembled
in the Campo St. Arms, in front of the theatre,
pointing two field pieces down each street leading
from thesquare-—this being arranged they sent
for Prince Don Pedro, who very soon repaired to
the spot, when they called on him to read the
proclarnation—hc commenced with the last one
issued by the king—-they told him that was not
what they wanted—the‘y asked for the constitu-
tion of Portugal—hc told them he must consult
his father. Time was‘ given him to go to St.
Christopher, the country residence of the King.
a mile and a half from town. On his arrival he
found the King in bed ; he waked him and told
him the troops had assembled and called for the
constitution. The king in his fright said give
them any thing they want.—But Don Pedro wish-
ed to have a proclamation drawn up by the con-
stitutional party, and given to him to sign, vxliich
he must have done without rcadinggz having got
this he returned to the square, and thinking it best
to become popular with the military, exclaimed,
' now my brave soldiers, I have got all we want,
Vive (‘-onstittttion.’ After obtaining silrnce, the
Chief Judge in the name of King John VI. com-
mcnced—That it had pleased his majesty who
always bore in mind every thing that would be
conducive to the happiness of his sul>jr;cf..-: ; had
concluded to grant the constitution of l~’ortugal
(such as would be formed and adopted by the
Cortes) to the Brazils, Madeira and all other de-
pendencies of the Portuguese crown—-that they
should have a change of tninisters, and that the
people should appoint those they might wish.
The different persons having been notified, they
all came forward and swore to the constitution, not
one of them knowing u hat it might be.

not recollect. The King by the time this was lin-
ished, had entered the city from his country Pal-
ace——the people took out the horses, and dragged
the carriage in triumph to the Palace, where he
signed the constitution,'to be filled up by the
Cortes.
Every thing has rcnutined quiet since public
confidence has been restored: aszu proof of it,
there was not 1000 milreas in gold to b; purchas-
ed at 8 per cent advance, now there is any quan-

Accounts from Caraccas state that a conference
has been held between Lieut. Col. Von Halen, an
agent of the Iloyalists, and Gen. Bolivar, which
terminated in a mutual agreement to prolong the
armistice ; and in the mean time, llolivar sends
deputies to Spain to treat for peace; reserving
however, to the Republican Congress, the right
of ratifying or rejecting any treaty which the de-_
puties niight enter into with the government of
the mother country.
«—-€->IlC*V'n"“‘
From the .7Vc~1v-Orleans (}'a:cttc;
M Extco.-—The political state of this country
is every day growing more ittitslcsttltgs and 10
none" more so than to us who inhabit Newtflrlcans.
In the first place, the last treaty with the court of
Spain, has abandoned to the Mexicans, a rich and
healthy yountry of great extent, almost within
7?: the Llissiissippi. In the next place. the
- "-Jesqhave establishetl some free ports in Mexi-
- “e're_ ‘vessels of all nations may trade; and
. rnmerce, although apparently fettered
,‘ legal restrictions, will one day or other
_ . . . developement commensurate to the ne-
ct. .sitics of the rich and populous regions needing
its‘suppli'es.
As to the Borders, we will not have much to
apprehend for some years to come ; on the con-
trary, enterprising traders-will find the means of
enriching themselves and their country, by open-
ing direct intercourse with the Provincias Inter-
nas. But the day will certainly come when Tex-
as must acknewlctlge the some government as
Louisiana, or else greatly endanger our safety in
case of a war on that frontier. -
On the score of trade by sea, between this corm-
try and Mexico, the opening is notyet very pro.
mising.— Vera Cruz has been declared a free port,
it is true, but the produce and manufactures ofall
other nations, except Spain, have been prohibited
by law. However we do not despair‘ ofseeing be-
fore long, our merchants carrying on a direct and
very profitable commence with the Mexican ports.
The jealous restrictions established by the Coun-
cil ol the Indies, no longer exist, to prevent the
ingress and egress of strangers in Mexico; at new
spirit has gone abroad even in those remote re-
gions, where the press will soon, no doubt, be
put up in the large towns,,and spread far and
wide the reasoning faculties and love ofliberty in-
herent in man. it is presumptousto expect that
a nation sunk so low as is Spain, in commerce
and manufactures, can overmonopolise the sup-
plies needed by -another people, almost equal in
numbers and superior in wealth; the latter too
placed 4000 miles off, in the immediate neighbor-
hood of the territories oftwo of the greatest com-
mercial powers in the world.—-The v,ery attempt
at such monopoly, by Spain, argues a narrow po-
licy and ignorance ofsound maxims in commerce,
which will occasion the loss of most of her colo-
nies in America. The half-way measure of al-
lowing a free trade in Spanish goods alone, will
give rise to a system of frauds on the government.
in carrying on which we believe no want ofhands
will be found in the Spanish American ports. In
the mean time a spirit of dissatisfaction will
spread more than ever, and find its first converts
among the fair dealers and all who detest subter-
fuge. It is not going too far to say that 0p'.‘l’l re-
sistance to the government will inevitably lollow.

SIR :--An event which your valor had prepar-
" ed. brings you again in this city, after an absence
ofmany yt:2tt‘s—-year's not wasted in the sterile en-
joyment of your well earned fame; but devoted
to your country. After serving it in times ofper-
il, when it required the exertions of those high
virtues that save or elevate empires---you consent
now to consecratc to its interests the talents which
your experience had given in civil l'rfe—thus im-
itating in peace, as you had imitated in war, those
renowned men of an ancient republic, who knew
alike how to command victorious armies, to nego-
ciate important treaties. and to direct the estab-
lishment of infant colonies.
Like thorn you have also felt, that unrivaled ser-
vices could not shelter the great and the virtuous
frtrnl the hatred and envy of those whofind it an
easier task to hate and to envy, than 10 cnmluie
great actions ; but you have triumphed over their
intrigues as you did over the armies of England
and the borders of the Seminoles.
You tread here on ground consecrated by the
memory ofyour exploits. The wealth, the pros-
perirythat surround‘ you is your work—but for
you, and the brave men who fought under your
banners, a heap ofashes and scattered ruins would
have been all that would have remained of New-
Orleans.—Thc spectacle which you now behold,
contrasted with the disasters you averted, is a rc-
compence worthy of a mind like yours. Though
accustomed to look to posterity, as the best rc-
warder of illustrious deeds, you cannot be insen-
siblc to the gratitude of a people, who through the
organ of their magistrates, proclaim you their
delivercr. _
VVith hearts filled with the same sentiments
which we have expressed in the name of the cit-
izens of New Orleans, we welcome you within
these walls, which your valor rendered impreg-
nable to our foes ; and we invoke on you the choi-
ccst blessings which can be bestowed on man by
that Divine Providence which sent you forth in the
days ofour calamities to work ourdeliverancc.

Language can but poorly express the feelings I
experience, as often as I revisit your city. Next 10
the consciousness of having done my best endea-
vors during those perilous times to which you al-
lude, the conviction that my conduct andmotrves
are approved by you and your ft.'ll0W-Cll.1ZCl‘lS,' is
the highest reward which earth can bestow. Io
Divine Providence, in whose hands the most for-
tunate are but humble instruments, let us ascribe
the success which on that memorable occasion
-crowned our exertions.—An(l permit me in re-
turn for the flattering testimony of your approba-
tion, to bear witness to the firmness, the devotion.
the patriotism, .and the valour, by which the city
of New-Orleans distinguished herself during that
arduous period. After the lapse of seven years,
the recollection is still green in my memory. I*or
those citizen soldiers, in particular, who wet‘cq 111)’
companionsin arms, I shall ever cherish the most
sincere affection, and through you [.‘t:t‘i‘hll W6 }0
renew my acknowledgements for the rhanner in
which they suppored me, and (ii:-ClI'¢'tt‘gt:Ll the first

so far as depends on human agency, are pt-,,‘c,gd

with pleasure the rapid growth of your city, and
its advancement to that rank which she must one
day attain, no one can doubt, who is acquainted
with the most natural of human feelings and af.

The.occasion of my again re-visiting your city,
I heartily concur with you in considering a subject
of cpngt-atulation to our common country. The
boundaries of our vast territory are fixed, and
without tllgsc boundaries the seeds of foreign war
will exist no more. tve may now safely cultivate

Extract of a letter from a gentleman residing

in New-Haven County.
‘ I shall next take up that truly noble subject,
the Great Canal, which I visited last September

which is finished, from Utica 96 miles west, is
very considerable, and outdoes the expectations
ofits most cordial friends and the enemies of the
work, which have been very many, are put in 5'1.
lence. Boats have cotne to Utica with 400 bar'-
rels of llottr from Ca} uga, drawn by two horses.
Salt is hroug'ht down from S;-.lina in astrmislaing
quantities, and ior 8150 per barrel. The ad-
vantages which begin to appear from this majes-
tic work are more numerous than I have room
to describe. Boats heavy -loaded have run list)
miles in three days, with one setof horses. 'l‘l.e
pleasure boats, which forncatness and accommo-
dation are not exceeded by any ofour steam-boa-:5,"
run the length of the canal in 24 hours, and take
passengers for about halfthe stage larc. From
Utica to Salim, 60 miles, is a dead level, and not
one lock. There were in Utica last full 9 bridges
over the canal, ofthe neatcst and most durable
kind. The cost of each must have been $500.-
The canal is lined with timber through the vil-
lage, and a great way further, in a ne_-at and curi-
ous manner. The locks are masterly works for
strength and durability, and taking the whole to-
gcther it is a work of almost iucalculable ex-

The revision of the Statutes, still occupies the
constant attention of both branches of the l.=.-gis-
laturc. There will be a few latvs passed entrr-rly
new, during the session--the amendments which
are made to the different statutes as they pass in

many independent acts—so that all the laws rela-

ranged under the same head in the new edition.
