- -that he was not able to do"eitlier himself, but
that he had a neighbor who probably would,
-and offered to accompany hiui thither. They
went—offtogether,Ward taking his gun, which
was loaded, and the negro talking freely by
the ivay, without: however, exciting in the
breast of W. _the least suspicion that he had
any base design. When advanced some dis-

‘tancefrom the house, the negro suddenly fa-
~ced round, sprung at W. and by a violent ef-
fort wrested the gun from his hand, immedi-
ately cocking and leveling it to shoot. Most
fortunately the triggers were not set (it being
double barrelled,) and while the ruflian was

' doing this, Ward gained a tree a few yards
distant, and stood the fire unliiirt. He then
drew his liuiitiug hatchet, rushed upon his ad-
versary, who was armed with a large biitcher-
knife, and a dreadful combat (both being large
men) ensued. VVard was assisted in the on-
set by a powerful dog, which was soon des-
patcliedj however by :1 skilfiil stroke upon the
neck, and the conflict maintained single liaiid-
ed. It was a horrible fray. Victory fora
long time remaiiieddoiiluful ; but at last de-

. cided for VVard ;‘-the negro being exhausted

from the loss of blood, and surrendered at

mercy. A deep, though not dangerous wound
in the breast, was the only severe hurt that

VVard sustained, although liisclothes were lit-

erally torn to pieces. Receiving aproinise

from the negro to remain where he was until
aid ‘could be procured, he departed for that

_ptirpose ; but on returning, found him gone;

although, from the number and severity ofhis

ivriiinds, it is liigbly iniprobable that he will
survive. Our informant adds, that lienever
sawthe ground torn up as much by a bull

. ~fight--the bushes were all sputtered with

blood-audio many places there was as mHCll

,blood on theground as if some aniinal had

been butchered. i

Very lalefmm Et_Lrope.—By arrivals at this
port, advices from Liverpool to the 25th July
are received.

The British Government has refused to ac-
knowledge the Regency at Madrid. _ Mr.
Canning, in his answer to the Duke of An-
goulenie’s letter on this subject, s_ays-—“ The
King having a minister resident near his Catli-
olic Majesty, cannot receive a couimunica-
tion of this description, and I therefore, return
your letter, which Ido not consider it my duty
ever to lay before his Majesty.

The ‘British Parliament was prorogued on
the 10th July to the 30th September. In the
King’s Speech on this occasion, he regrets
that his ,;fi'orts to preserve the peace of Eu-
rope, had been unavailing, and states that he
continues to receive from all foreign powers,

,assurances of their amiable dispositions to-
wards England.

The Loiidoii Sim ofJuly21 says, ‘the next
HCCUUQLS froiiiCadiz are expected to announce
the liberation ofthe King.’

Morilloliad delivered upLugo totheFrench.
The French entered Villa Franco without
meeting with any enemy, and say they have
also taken Cordova.

. The French had commenced the bombard-

’ 'II1El1I of Corunna, which was defended by Sir

R. Wilson, who is said to have 6000 men to
oppose 4500. The accounts from this place
are to the 15th July. It was provisioned for
six months, and it was thought the French
could not blockade it by sea. It was reported
at Lisbon on the 24th, that an important bat-
tle had been fought near Corunna, in which
the French were defeated.

' A Col. Watson, and Major Bristo, (of Sir
Robert’s staff) were" at Lisbon July 91st on
-their way to Corunna from Cadiz--where
they had arranged a treaty between the Cor-
tes and Sir R. They stated that the affairs
of Spain were rather 10,0/ting up, and that the
French troops ucar Cadiz would soon have
to retire unless they receive considerable rein-

»forcements.—--Miiia, Ballasteros, Quiroga,
-and Wilson,still continue to brave the French.

Paris dates are to July 22. It is stated.
that the French army besicgitig Cadiz, had
retired from St. Mary's to Xeres, in conse-
quence of several reverses which Gen. Bour-
iuont had experienced in the vicinity ofSe—
ville. All the British ships of war in com-
mission, are ordered to be immediately e-
quipped upon their full war establishment.

MADRID, July l6.—Au officer has this lll0-
ment brought the intelligence that a sharp ac-
tion had takeu place between our troops and
Gen Quiroga, who has been completely de-
feated. ’ Gen. Huber, who commands the
vanguard of Gen. Bourck’s division, has taken
possession ofFerrol, and is at a short distance
from Coruiina, which, it is said, has shut its
gates against Quiroga, and awaits the French
General to open them.

All the roads in the kingdom of Grenada
are covered with deserters from the ci-dcvanl
army of Ballasteros. These unfortunate be-

ings,‘ without food or clothing, inquire after
the places occupied by French troops, for the
purpose of enrolling themselves under the col-
ours oftlieKing. Ballasteros,witli the feeble
remains ofhis army, is wandering among the
' mountains. -

- We receive most satisfactory accounts from
all pans of the Peninsula ; the investment of
Cadiz is daily becoming closer. Our artille-
ry has received the proper instructions not to
direct its fire towards the quarter inhabited
by the King. Orders are given that the city
is not to be spared ifit resists any longer, and
the bombarding is to begin presently.

BAYONNE, July 15.—[t now appears‘:cer-
tain that the sieges of St. Sebastian, Pampe-
luna,”and Santona, are going to be begun se-
riously, and without delay. For this purpose
the materiel of the great park of artillery at
Toulouse, arrived here the day before yester-
day under the care of a captain of artillery ;
yet it would seem to be oflittle use to under-
take these sieges if the war is nearly termina-
ted, as many affirm; and if a resolution has
really at length been taken to push them with
vigor, we may be allowed to conjecture that
the probability ofa longer duration of liostili-
ties is expedient to have a_ strong line ofope-
rations behind the Ebro, which cannot be done
without the possession of the above mention-
.ed fortresses.

The affairs of Gallicia seem all in confus-
ion. The reports which reach us are so con-
tradictory that it is difficult to get at the truth.

 

’\

I ,I;sceins certain, however, that Morillo has

not been followed by iuore ofhis men than
_,Abi‘sbal, and that all those who placed confi-
dence in his valour have ranged tiieinselves
‘under Q_uiroga’s colors. The latter General
’Wl|0 seems to act in concert with Sir Robert
VVilson, wlll not, it is said, confine himself to
defensive‘ measures at Fermi and Corunna.

‘ VIRQUE. LIBERTY. AND INDEPENDENCE.’

FrtoMPi:nN.tiirBUco.—“’e have been fa-
vored with the perusal ofa letter from Per-
nambuco, dated the 23d of July, from which
we learn that a few days previous the city of
Bahia was evacuated by the European troops,
and taken possessionof by the Brazillians.—
The Portuguese immediately embarked for
Lisbon on board 80 large vessels; Lord Coch-
rune pursued them with his whole squadron,
and it was thought would capture them all,
having already taken 30 of their vessels.-
Tehis is the first time the Brazils have been
entirely free from the European yoke, but it is
feared that in consequence of the late revolu-
tion in Portugal they will soon obtain posses-
ion ofit again,as the Emperor of Brazil is heir
to the crown of Portugal. There is now a
partytliere in favor ofa Republic, but they are
not sufficiently united to accomplish iuuch.

France and Spavi~n..—Tlie editor of the
New-York Daily Advertiser makes the follow-
ing remarks npoti the late news from the
seat of war.

The war now carried on by the Ftellcll a-
gaiiist the Indepeiideiice of Spain has existed
for four or five iiionilis, and what is very ex-
Il‘a()l‘(lll)Ell'_)', we are so iiinch in the dark with
regard to the true state ofthings in that coun-
try, that we have no certain ineans of forming
a correct opinion concerning its terniiiiation.
If we were to credit the French accounts, the
country has been couqiiered from the begin-
iug. They have routed and destroyed every
thing that made even the show ofoppositioii
—thcy have been every where received as
friends and brothers, engaged in an expedition
not of war and bloodslictl, butoffriendship and
kindness-——not in pursuit of victory and sub-
jugation, but for the purpose of relieving the
sovereign froui imprisonment, and the nation
from tliraldoiii. Every little rencouuter is
inagiiificd into a battle, every trifling siiccess
into it biilliaiit acliieveuient. Indeed, from
the style and-boasting of the various official
accounts, WC'SllOLll(l be led to suppose that the
Duke d’Angouleine is as great a general as
his grand ancestor Henry IV. or even Bona-
paparte hiiuself, and that the expedition into
the Peninsula in 1393, is equal in military
splendour and success, "to the most notable
that occurred in the career ofthat conqueror.

But, it is to he remembered that these ac-
counts are French. The government of
France having undertaken this war on the
most unprincipled grounds, liasevery in direc-
nieiit, beyond those which ordinarily govern
them in cases where their pride and vanity
are concerned, to put a good face upon their
own condtict, and to boast of achievements
which were never accomplished. Under these
circumstances, it becomes necessary for us in
this country to make large‘ allowances for
these bulletiiis. We cannot believe, for ex-
ample, that Mina has been crushed and de-
stroyed half adozen or a perhaps a dozen
times, in the course ofthe war. With a very
small body oftroops, and with a degree of ac-
tivity which has rarely been equalled, and uti-
der disadvantages a‘nd embarrassnients which
would have dislieartened an ordinary genius,
he has kept the French division inider Monccy
in a continual state of perplexity and vexa-
tion, and in a great measure defeated them in
their intended operations. We believe few
military men have appeared on the stage of
life, who have done more with as few means
as this distinguished chieftain. Perhaps he
resembles the celebrated Marquis ofMontrose
who made such a splendid figure during the
civil war in England more than any modern
warrior.

What few accounts we receive from other
sources than French authority, do not repre-
sent the condition ofthe Constitutionalists so
absolutely desperate and hopeless, as those
from France would have us understand them
to be. Letters lately received from Cadiz
and Gibraltar, state explicitly that the Cortes
do not intend, at least for some time to come,
to give up their present residence. Cadiz ap-
pears to be well supplied with provisions, and
it would seem to be almost impossible for the
French to prevent their introduction when
necessary. At the same tiine, the Cortes
were steadily pUl'S|llllf_! their own business,
calmly and fearlessly deliberating on the state
of affairs, and acting with a good degree of
firmness and decision.

\Vithout intending to express much confi-
dence in the result oftliis outrageous attack
on nationalindependence, we do not consider
it by any means certain that it will terminate
so suddenly as the Freucli accounts would
have us expect. The season would be very
likely seriously to affect an army in such a
warm country, and it would not be strange if
we should hear, before many weeks, that the
troops were becoming sickly. The French
forces are now scattered in every direction,
and it must be a very difficult task to furnish
them with necessaries at such a great distance
fioin home. The expences of a protracted
war will be severely felt in France, and if Ca-
diz should hold out even six months, the
French treasury will sensibly feel the drafts
that rriust be made upon it. If we could see
a little of the spirit which animated the Span-
iards in 1808, we should expect to find most of
their enemies lay their bones in thatcountry.

We understand that the dwelling-house of
Mr. Jahez Peck, of Greenwich, was entirely
coiisiiriied by fire on Tuesday last.

The Annual Coinmenceriient in Yale Col-
lege will take place on Wednesday, the 10th

The Hon. Elijah Boardman, ofthis state.
died in Ohio about the middle of August, of
an inflaniation in the stomach. His remains
have been preserved and are now on the way
to his late residence.

Two more persons have latelly been killed
near St. Louis by du.cllin0'.

A duel was lately fought near Grand River
by two Indian Chiefs, in which both were
wounded. The savages are at length uiakiiig
soiue advances towards civilization.

It is stated that an Indian treaty is to be
held at St. Augustine onthe fifth instant,
at which about six thousand Indians are ex-

pected to attend.

42:; ‘ A very severe storm of wind, rain and hail-

passed over Stockbridge, Ms. on the 24th ult.
which destroyed trees, fruit, vegetables, &.c.
The hailstones were as large as liens’ eggs,
remarkably solid, and covered the ground in
some places several inches deep : many panes
of glass were broken, and two geese killed by
the bail. .-

In Petersburg,Virg. a violent hail storm was
experienced on the 18th ult. The stories
were larger than hens’ eggs, and fell upon the
earth like the roar of distant thunder, crushing
beneath them whole fields ofcorn and tocac-
co, besides destroying many other plants and
vegetables.

A Cucuniber was raised this season, in
Southbury, which measured 18 inches in
length, 16 round the middle and weighed
4 lbs. 3 oz.

Fish Slories.—Several persons lately as-
sembled on the heacli near Cape May (Penn.)
for the purpose ofcatchiiig drum fish, and up-
on the first haul they took 279, which weigh-
ed 85 lbs. each on an average, and were worth
$1000.

The last Farmer states that a shark was
caught at the mouth ofthe I-Iousatonac river,

froui his liver; his skin was sold for two dol-
lars; his jaws contain five roivs ofivory, and
can be d ra W ii over the largest ma n’s shoulders.

Large Snake.——The Woodstock (Va.) Her-
ald of the 20th instant, states, that on the pre-
ceding Friday, two persons ncar that town
discovered a large snake whose head was ele-
vated about three feet from the ground, and
whosejaws were extended in the act of hear-
ing to its den a young fawn, which it had
caught a few moments before. The snake in
thickness, exceeded that ofa common iuaii’s
thigh, but its length could not be ascertained.

Randolpli Bcdford, alias G. Gallop, who mar-
ried a lady in \Voodstock, Vermont, in July,
1822, and another in Belleville, N. J., in June
last, and afterwards deserted both in a most
slianieful manner, has been apprehended and
couiinitted to jail in Reading. He had sunk
the doctor in the slioe-maker, and being well
dressed, received itninediate eniployinent as
a journeynian ; but he was soon found to be
so indifferent a workman, that his employers
were convinced he could not be a shoemaker
by trade. Suspicious were excited, and his
dress and person were found to correspond
so exactly with the description given in Mr.
Tompkins, advertisement, that the niagist rate
before whom he was brought, did not hesitate
a moment to make out a iiiittimiis.

[It is said that he made an attempt to in-
gratiate himself into the favor of a family in
Reading, and had made advances to a young
lady belonging to it. He is now on his way
to New-Jersey under a strong escort.]

The Detroit Gazette contains an extract of
a letter from a gentleman at Mat-.kinaw,wliicli
states that Mr. Sclioolcraft was at Saut Ste
Marie and had ‘ obtained through the Indians,
from the east fork ofthe ’Tenaugon river, the
largest mass (except one) of native copper
which he had ever seen. It weighs 49. pounds
avoirdnpois. On examining it critically, he
discovered in several parts of it points ofiia-
tive silver. This isthe first native silver found
in this region.’ The letter adds, that ‘ a vein
of copper ore has also been discovered on the
south shore of Lake Superior, on a point of
land, just at the water’s edge. It is reported
to be extensive. Mr. S. has in his possession
many specimens of this ore; and the saute
kind is stated by Professor Cleavland to yield
seventy-jive per cent.’

Seigiiior Causici, a pupil of Canova, has
nearly completed, in New-York, a model for
an equestrian statue of Gen. Washington, and
it is proposed to employ him to furnish 21 mar-
ble or bronze statue, to be placed in the park.
The model is about 12. feet high, withoiit the
pedestal ; the horse is on the spring, his hind
legs resting on the pctlestnl. Wzisliiiigmn,
dressed in the old continental uniform, with-
out a hat, is supposed to be giving an order in
battle. The likeness is said to be aduiirable.

Some ofthe Kentucky papers have men-
tioned the name of Col. R. M. Johnson, as a
candidate for the office of Vice President of
the United States.

It is said that Mr. Crawford has recently
declared his intention to retire from the head
ofthe Treasury Department. It is further
stated that he would have retired some time
since, had he not been coiitroled by his friends,
who represented that it would place him in
the back ground for the Presidency.

On Thursday last, Samuel L.Southard,Esq.
while in this town, attending to the business of
his profession, received a letter from the Pres-
ident oftlie U. States, informing him of his
appoiutiiient as Secretary of the Navy, and
soliciting him to be at VVashington City as
early as practicable to assume the duties of
that office. Judge Soutliard, left this town
as soon after he received the above letter, as
he could arrange his business, leaving the be-
liefamong his friends here, that he would ac-
cept ofthe appointment—Therefore, among
the important‘duties of our next Legislature
will be the selection of a suitable person to
supply the place ofJudge Soutliard in the Se-
nate ofthe U. States.—Susse1: Register.

of the gold mine in the vicinity of that place.
Miicli success attends the exertions of those
who are digging for the precious metal, and
it is said that at every thrust of their spades
they turn uplarge quantities ofit. The pros-

Mr. Nelson had not arrived in Spain at the
date of our last accounts; and our govern-

ineut was represented thereby our Charge d’ A

Ali"-aires, Mr. Appleton, who proiuptly follow-
ed the government to Cadiz, at which place
he was on the Both of June. In this course
he undoubtedly _acted in unison with the feel-
ings of the people ofthe United States-. At
that time, it is believed that he was the only
diplomatic representative near the Spanish
government. Ifany regret is felt that several
months, crowded with incidents of pectiliar
moment, should have elapsed between the de-
parture of Mr. Forsyth, early in March, and
the arrival of Mr. Nelson, it is diminished by
the beliefthat, in the charge of a gentleman
possessing more than ordinary acquaintance
with our foreign relations,and with the world,
acquired in part by a residence for many
years past in official capacities, at several for-
eign courts, our affairs will not suffer in the
interval.-—.N'at. Int.

C'anada.—-Bell’s Weekly Messenger ofthe
7th July, says “ We have long made tip our

.miuds that Canada is not worth the expense

it costs us; and that happy would it have
been for this country, ifit had been given to
the United States in the peace of 1784. We
should think any minister deserved well, both
of the Caiiadiaiis and ofthe English, who, by
mutual consent of the governors and govern-
ed, should get a couple of millions from the
Americans in purchase of our sovereignty of
that territory.

flIr.m'co.——The new Congress is to meet on
the 31st of October next, to fix the form of

having declared for such a form ofgoverninent.

It is said Great Britain is cut by a thousand
leagues of canal, and traversed in every di-
