forms-that-,i.on the~7?th of January, a disturbance
broke out amongst the oflicers-‘and soldiers of the
Portuguese army under the command of Gen
L1‘.con..whic.h for some time caused ,g’r'eat con-
sternation among the inhabitants of Monte Viedo, I
The foreign Mercliaiits were fearful for the safe-
ty of their property, as the Portuguese tgoops
declared in a manifesto to their General that un-
less further provisions were made for the better
support andpayment of the old arrearagcs, they
should enter the town in ten days and -flay them-
selves. lnconsequence of this alarming aspect,
ajcontribution was levied on the inhabitants which
fell. princ_ipally on foreign Merchants. On the
14th and 15th, a sufficient sum of money being
raised and distributed amongst the troops, order
and tranquility was again restored.
‘From (.'/zina.--Capt. Esdale, of the Panther,

exportation of silk the residents had on hand pre-
vious to the taking place of the edict. A large
quantity of silks were seized by them belonging
to an American gentleman, resident, which were
going-'from his house to the security merchant’s
pack-liouse-—they also attempted to search the
house of an American gentleman, resident, for
silk goods, but were prevented. The silk mer-
chants were obliged to shut up their shops to
prevent their goods being taken from them.
BOSTON, April 10.’
- A letter has‘ been received this morning by a
merchant of this city, by a vessel from St. Tliom-
as-dated Aux Cayes, March 9, detailing circum-
stances attending tlielanding of a body‘ of French
troops at Samaria. A warlike expedition 2000
strong, it was reported some time since, had been
fitted out and sailed from Martinique on the llth
of Eebruary and had proceeded for Samaria at
which place the troops were to throw up "fortifi-
cations. T hey were to be followed by reinforce-
ments, when an attempt was to be made to retake
Spanish St. Domingo from the'Hayiipiis. The
expedition consisted of 3 frigates,‘ 3 gabarras, 4
brigs, 4- schooners; and had 50 pieces of artille-
ry. The frigates anchored, one on the inside
and two outside ofthe bar, and landed theirtroops,
consiting of 4 or 500. When they commenced
this service, the ollicers at the post forbid them
to proceed._ A skirmish ensued between the
parties. The guard of about 20 men were driv-
en out of the town, and the commandant of ‘the
place collected together about 100 to 150 of the
troops, that were dispersed about the country at
work. The enemy however proving superior,
they were obliged to give ‘way. De-spatclies
were sent to General Cayer Larivier, who was
stationed about 10 degrees from Samaria, to claim
his support; but in the mean time the French
plundered two plantations of the negroes, the
cattle and every thing valuable,, and destroyed a
little village in the neighborhood. When they
were about embarking, the Haytian General or-
rived with a regiment of 1000 men. A few
rounds were fired and some soldiers on both sides
were killed and wounded. After all were safely
on board, the fijigates approached and--bombarded
the place, which was entirely destroyed. The
cannonade wounded the general and killed and
wounded several oflicers and men. -

A Fifteen miles from the Moro Castle, the Para-

up. Not liking her appearance, we changed
courses severaltimes, till it became evident from
her manccuvi'es.that her object was to get along-
side of us—we then squared away with the iii-
tention of running back to Havana, immediately
after which the decks of the supposed pirate were
filled with men, and she made all-sail ll) chaseof
us ; much lioweverto our satisfaction, :ind'doub'.-
less to theirldisappointment, we soon found we

schism has long existed among its members. it
appears that one ofthe parties, during last night,
took" clandestine possession ofthe Church ; and
on the appearance of thcotlier party this morn-
ing, a scene of unprecedented riot and confusion
ensued. The civil authorities were caued in, and
after-_great exertions, and at the risk of life and
limbs,.they secured several ofthe leading rioters.
Many individuals were seriously, if not danger-
ously‘ wthindedv by brick bats and otht-r' missiles.
VVe forbear, for‘obvio‘us'i'easons, froiii iniaking a.
ny remarks on this unpleasant occurrence.
[Relative to this afl'.iir,the following letter from
Philadelphia, appears in the Spectatoix]
“Our city has been in a wild commotion this
morning, and is still threatened with alarming
scenes. You have heard ofthe division in the
-Roman Catholictlhurch ofthis place, and that
the authority of the Bishop has beenresisted by
Mr. Hogan, and a large party of his followers.—-
This is the day for the election of the Trustees
to St. Mary’s Church, and as Mr.i-Iogan ofiiciates
in that Church, it is a matter of deep interest
with the contending parties to elect Trustees who
will promote their views. Last year the friends
of Mr. Hogan prevailed, but the friends of the
Bishop resolved tliatthe loss of the election this‘
year should not be _a _r.epi-oacli to their zeal or vi-
gilance. Collecting their strength from all quar-
ters, they last night possessed themselves ofthe
church and burial ground. VVhen in the CllllI‘,c,ll
they barred every entrance and armed themselves
with clubs to defend and maintain their position.
The-f1'l°Dd5 0f M13 Hogan mustered their forces
at the VVasliington Hall, and marched for the
church, between 8 and 9 o'clock in the morning.
Arrived at the scene of action, the wall and balas.
trade in l5‘ourth-street was instantly prostrated,
and all barriers between the parties were remo.
ved. The iron railings were now used as weap-
pns of war. A contest,severe,savage and bloody,
instantly ensued in the church-yard,_and in Fourth
and Fifth streets. Many were knocked down on
both sides, and the fall of any one, drew upon him
some half dozen, who belabored their _victitn with
clubs. I, :Many have been severely and dangerous-
ly wounded, and it is reported that some have di-
ed of their wounds, . ' i ‘
‘ The Sf"¢€lSa ‘the grave yard and tombs are
marked with blood. Much of what has occurred
was anticipated yesterday ; the peace ofiice;-5
were directed to be in readiness, and the mag-is.
trates added many to the usual number ofofiicers.

made great efforts to restore order, but in vain.-—

Mr. Mallary sugges_ted'that he was$not satisfied ‘
that ‘it was necessary to send a Minister to L1,.‘
bon, and that a Charge .d’Affa_irs would perhaps
be sufiicient. He therefore called for information
on the subject from the-Chairman of the Com. '-
mittee of Ways and.Means. ‘ _
He said that our commerce with Portugal wig
nearly cut ofi‘-—tli_at governmenthad imposgdsa
heavy a duty on floor that it almost amoumea: Io ‘
a prohibition of: the article—-that Portugal was 3
small nation, and was not formidable by sea or by
land--that in the present situation of our com’.
mev-ce ‘with that country,a Consul General was ’
sufficient. — V - a
Mr. Smith, chairman of the.‘committe'e, ac:
knowledged that high duties were exacted at Lis-
bon, and that our commerce with Pdftqgaj ,,.,,,*
trifling at present ;. but -that we wanted a.Minis--
ter to aid in restoring the commerce to its 'form'ep‘
importance-—to make a ti-ca:y—..to get resiriéfions
removed, Sic. The govei'm_nent of that cotintry
has thought us to be hostile--part_icularly from
the greater‘ duties we imposed uponthe winesxjf
Madeira and Fayal, than upon-the‘ ‘wines of .'other'
countries. Large quantities of 'C0l‘f]‘ are scnt ..
from this country to Madeira ;and they are un-
derstood to be about petitioning the COPIES‘ toim.
pose restrictions upon the. il‘llpOl'lation.' of 0,".
-corn ,5 and the consequen‘ee"may.lx:j that we shall
be wholly deprived of the . benefits of that trade.
All attempts to reduce our enormous duties up.
on these wines have hitherto been ineffectual be;
cause they are drank by the rich, wiihoutu.§ce‘m-- "
iiig to regard the importance of the‘ trade} Mr.‘
s. further observed that he-thought it .;5.‘p'eaie?nr_.
not to withhold -the appropriation,‘inasmuézh 735 I
the President had recommended the measure;
and should w,_e refuse, the consequences and uig
responsibility ofthe refusal will rest upon us. '
Mr. Mallary remarked that there weretwen.
ty places in Europe where we send no Minister,
of more commercial importance to this country
than Lisbon. He adverted to the statistiéreport
of the ‘Secretary’ of the Treasury, to show the
superiority of the tradeto other countries_, panic.
ularly to Holland, Denmark and Sweden. The '
latter ggtion was certailyat least ggual in dignity _
and superior in strength, to Portugal, and was as
well entitled to expect a Minister froin us as thc
latter government: _and with respect to the Bra.
zils, he believed they would emancipate them-
selves from the control of ‘the’ parent country,
whenever they thought proper" to dissolve tlié-1
connexion, and assume their independence. M 22"
Mallary concluded by moving to transpose the
word Lisbon, so as to provide for a Charge "ides
Affairs in that country, instead ofa Minister.
After some further discussion the question wag
put, and the motion negatived. -
The question for expenses of carrying into ef-
fect the fifth, sixth and seventh article ofthe trea.‘
ty of Ghent being under consideration-—— ’ '
Mr. Cocke observed, that he should be‘ opposed
‘to making any further appropriations for that ob-
ject, until he was informed that those commis-
sioneis had settled their accounts. They had
heretofore been called on,‘ but only one class of
them, to his knoweldge, had ‘obeyed the call, and
among the charges it included, was to be found
expetices incurred for fish‘ hooks and fishing nets,’
bacon and hams, and other like items, thatdid
not seem be a proper expenditure for a nation.-—-
The business had been already protracted 8 years,
and ifwe go on appropriating from sessityi to ses-
sion, it will become a life estate to those concern-
ed. He wasaverse to placing any more money
in their hands until they had accounted for iv hat '
they had already‘ "received ; and he moved to till
the blank with the sum of $12,500.
Mr.BaIdwin believed that tflere had been too lav-
ish an expenditure of public money ; nor would
he now vote for the appropi ietion, did he not fear
the public service might sulfer from the delayia
refusal of it might occasion. It was a business
connected with a foreign power, and he wished
the concern might be closed. '
Mr. Cocke said we were told theline could not
be run in’ the winter, because tlieclimate is too
cold 5 and in-the summer the comiiii_ssionei's, he '
tinder-stood, were frolicking at Ballston Springs.
He thought it was high time that Congress jshduldj
iiiterpose, and prevent thisiwaste of the public‘
treasure. " ‘ 0 A i_'f ’
The question i was then taken;..Ion filling the
blank with the sum of 25,000 dollars, and iiega- \
tived-; and the blank was filled with the sum of
12,500 dollars.‘ T V s 7 ’
The clause to provide ‘ for the salaries of the
Commissioners, Secretary, Clerk, and. Messen .
gers, together with the contingent expences o
the two Commissioners under the treaty with
Spain,’ being under consideration-— . .
Mr. Cocke animadverted upon the unnecessa-
ry and extravagant expenditure which had been
incurred under lllC"(lll'CCl-iofl as he understood, of
the Secretary of the Spanish Commission.
Mr. Milnor remarked that information had
been received that the Cortesof Spain had recog-
nized the independence of South America; and
if so, it was not probable they would be anxious
to encounter the expense of running the line-be-
twegijptliis country and Mexico. Under this view,
he ifiۤted.to reduce tlie,'appr_6p'riation to $l5,00_0
instead ofthe sumgof $30,000, as i-ecominendec; . 4
by the Con'imittee_of-Waysland Means. _ I '
. The question was taken on the sum of 30,00
dollars and neg-atived, Mr. Walworih propo- -
sed to modify the clause, so as to confine the ap-
propriation exclusively to the commission ito‘s_e_t'-
