./Ymcrican Uolcn_i/ in ./]_/i°ic(z.——By the schr.
Fidelity, from Cape l‘v']essurado, we learn that
the Colouists generally were in good health
and spirits. The agricultural advances not
being equal to the wants of the colony, and
others, occasional sliipuieiits hence of small
assorted cargoes of provisions might be profit-
able, Ttatle tip the country was, in January,
obstructed by war between theSooso0s and the
Toulahs; but a more auspicious state of af-
fairs was ant.icipated.
The ten blacks, whom the U. States govern-
ment permitted to return to their native coun-
try last October, had all, through the care of
oiir Agent, and Ricliard Wilkinson, the litter-
preter, reached their iespecttve homes. The
fathers of three of them were trading at the
settlement when the Fidelity arrived out.——
Tlieir mutualjoy may be imagined more read-
ily than described.
We are further infortncrl of a singular oc-
currence concerning another ofthe ten. On
their landing at the colony, this man immedi-
ately met a native, who had cotne down from
the interior to trade, and who was the very
person that had sold the now liberated man,
as a slave. He had captured him in war, and
agreeably to ctistoin, sold him as his own pro-
perty ;aud now (as soon as convinced that the
free. man disclaimed all intentions of revenge)
accompanied him home.
From the Baltimore C]I.1‘OTl’l:t'.'l€.
V'v'e take the earliest opporttrnity to lay be-
fore our readers, sortie iritcresting facts rela-
tive to the American Colony at Messttrado,
furnislied us by Dr. Ayres, the Agent. Lands
have been laid, and measured off into lots and
plantations, for the blacks-'-the latter have
been for the most part cleared, and fences and
houses are erecting in various degrees ofim-
proveinent. Monthly agricultural reports are
tirade out. The settlers in this little colony,
auroitntiiig to about 150, are ci1t_va_«_ret,l in build-
itig, fencing, planting and plotighirig, sortie of
them in the cultivation of gzirilmig laid around
their temporary huts. Notice. has been given
that their rations will cease in June next, and
they must depend upon their own- exertion
unless superceded by some unforeseen acci-
dent, sncb as a general sickness or invasion.
Since the last lrepprt no mortality has taken
place atnongst the old settlers,wh'ose constitu-
tions have been seasoned to tlie_'cliuiate_,ex-
cepting one, which was an accidental death.
'l‘wo American vessels still carry on the
man stealing trade; unfortunately there is no
naval force on that station to prevent it. It is
decidedly the opinion of Dr. Ayres, that a set-
tleiuent may be formed if proper meas..ut'es on-
ly are adopted. Coloiiists have been sent on
before preparation was made for their recep-
tion. Hoiises must be built, and a stock of
provisions laid in for the new 58111075, 0|‘ Olli-
erwise they are thrown upon this ilttle com-
munity, as so many paupers maintained froiu
fundsappropriated for other purposes—-—a sliarc
of time should be allowed for theeztrtli to yield
her increase, before tlieColony is deluged with
new settlers. The vessel Augusta, which was
ptit tipon that station, was sent to Freeman-
towu to rt-pair, and was condemned as unsea-
wortliy. As soon as this fact was made known
tllll0l1l1S1 the surrounditig tribes, they attempt-
ed aiidilier invasion, and the blacks were coni-
pelled to leave the cultivation oftheir lots," to
complete iiiilitary works and fortifications for
thc defence of the Colony.
This nuwelcoine intelligence prevented the
blacks from cultivating their grounds until
November last. On the return ofthe packet,
the Africans and men were,be.tween longitude
Q0 and 23, taken down with sickness, and
there is every reason to believe that this mala-
dy was not a native ofthe clitnate. Two only
of the crew reinained to inauage the vessel.
The conduct of .11 r. R. hic.\'lullen, a niidsliip-
man who came passenger, is entitled to high
coinmeiidatiou. He was one ofthe sick, bttt
he notwitlistanding took command ofthe ves-
sel, tlio' in El state of high salivatiou, he stood
for hours in the rain, regardless of personal
danger ;this fuel requires no coiumeiit.
FROM FRAi\’CE.-—Paris papers to the
11th Jan. have been rec’d at NewYork. They
contain no intelligence ofiutercst. Accounts
front Rome state that the Pope continues ve-
ry low. The anniversary of the battle ofN.
Orleans was celebrated in Paris by the Anter-
icans : sortie of the toasts drank oit the occa-
sion werc complained of by the French as be-
ing too 7'epublt'can .’ The Etole contains
a short paragraph, whicli was considered im-
portant frotii a belief that it was authorized
by the government. It is a kind of sneer up-
on the President’s message. It is in substance.
as follows :—‘ France disclaims all intentions
against the rights of South America, and if
the U. States fit out her fleets and prepare. for
war, she will fuid no enemy to contend with.’
The Journal des Debnts, in reference to the
saute subject, says—‘ Since the continent is
perfectly tranquil, nobody dreaming of war,
the U. States inay,.it' they please, enjoy the
little pleasure there is in paying their fleets,
and sailing in trituiiph over seas where they
will meet none but frieiids.’
The Etoile denounces the U.States for hav-
ing 500 public journals ; to which the. Consti-
tutional replies by advising to signify that they
must be reduced to the number which shall be
fixed for them by the Allies, or else declare
war against the _/'r1clz7ou.s Atnericans.
All accounts agree in ascribiug great site-
cesses to the Greeks in the last c.ainpaigu,botli
by sea and land ; and front the effect ofthese,
combined with the poverty of the Turks. ll"?
most sanguine hopes may be iiidulgcd, that
the struggles ofthis gallant race will be crown-
ed with success. The Divan is said to have
been seriously engaged in discussing the very
important question, ‘ Shall we liazard a new
campaign, or instantly treat with the Greeks.’
A Liverpool paper of Jan. Sd states that a
large kedge anchor, weighing 5 or 6 cut. was
that week found suspended frotn the bottom
of the ship Alexander, on her hauling up to
grave. It appears that the ship grounded in
the Delaware, when the anchor ititist have
stuck in her timbers, and so remained during
her passage across the Atlantic.
Brazil-—Accoitnts frotu Brazil to the 98d
of Dec. state that the Senate, by a decree of
the 20th Dec. agreed to the project of a con-
stitution arranged by the. couticil ofstate, ac-
cording to the basis offered by the Emperor
in his decree ofthe 13th ofNoveinber. The
Senate also ordered, that books should be 0-
peued in which the citizens should record their
names, as approving or as disapproving of the
new constitution, so that piihlic opinion may
be known. It is said the Emperor has issu-
ed a decree prohibiting the itnportatioii ofthe
produce and manufactures of Portugal until
the acknowledgment of the independence of
Brazil by that nation.
Dctitarara.—l\Iarti:tl law still prevailed at
Demarara on the 16th tilt. Executions ofthe
rebellious blacks occurred frequently, and
fioggiugs almost daily, the uiimber of lashes
being about 800 at a time. Smith, the mis-
sionary, was in jail, under sentence of death.
The last accounts fr.VeraCruz,are in favor
of an adjustment between the city and castle.
A letter from Havana, ofthe 2d inst. states
that the U. S. schr. Fox would be got offshore
by taking out her masts and grins.
The steam-boat Fanny,ar. at N.Orleans fr.
Natchez,on the Q.‘3d,passed a large steam-boat
ashore, supposed to be the steam-ship.
T/re Sea-Serpent Tu/:e2i.—'—VVhile a young
gentleman was gunning on Saturday last, on
the beach at the mouth of East Chester Bay,
about 14 miles frotn this city, he discovered
something floating on the water. whiclf he at
first believed to be some drowned person, but
upon a nearer examination, he found to be
some marine animal, itpoii which he pursued
it for several hours, and at last as the animal
approached the shore and extended its jaws,
preseiiting a frightful appearance to one tiri-
accustonied to view the monsters ofthe deep,
be discharged his piece directly in its mouth ;
upon which it bellowed most treincndotisly,and
became so furious that it attacked and heat
off the gunner’s dog, {tho had sprung towards
the animal the inoineilt it was fired at. The
gunner repeated his fire, and the 3d shot pro-
ted mortal. It has since been brought to this
city, and proves to be a Seat Elvpliant, weigh-
ing |]p\Vlll'(lS of con pounds, and measuring 8-
bout 9 feet in leiigtli.-——.Mcrc. ./Idv.

VVe liave been politely favored by the Hon.
G. Toiirlitisoii with the Wasliiugton Republi-
can——Extra, of Saturday Evening, Feb. 14th,
from which we extract the following account
of the proceedings of the CAUCUS.
This evening, about 7 o’clock, the A gentle-
men who cotnpose the radical faction in Con-
aress,aucl who are the advocates ofMr. Craw-
ford for the Prcside:icy,assembled in the Rep-
resentatives’ Chamber, for the purpose of'_pro-
needing to a nomination which they hope will
supercede the exercise of any choice on the
part of the people, and force upon them the
candidate whom, of all others, they have the
least disposition to elect. , A
Mr. f{ttg_3,rles, of Ohio, was called to the
Chair, and Mr. Collins, of N. Y. appointed
Secretary. Mr.Ruggles briefly stated the ob-
ject for which the meeting was convened.
MI‘. Matltley, of Penn.oll"ei'e<l to the consid-
eration of the meeting, a preamble and reso-
ltitioiis, the object ofwhicb was to adjourn the
presettl ttieetitig until Saturday the 920th of
i\larch, to give an opportunity for the other
republican niembers, who differed with those
present as to the expediency of the present
measure, to consider the subject more fully.
Mr. r.Vl:irkley stated his object. in moving the
resolution to be, to prom rte tinion among the
D‘~“"”‘3”“lC l‘.“”.Va “ml to give that influence
to the irouiiuation, which \vQ|il(l be derived
from an atzcessioti to their numbers.
llvir Vanflurcn would have had inticb pleas-
ure in accctliiig to the motion, btit he thought
it would be productive of injury rather than
l)el'lL‘lll. He thoughtit would be iuexpedieut
to postpone the ineeting at all. \Ve should
now pursue the course which had always been
pursued. Many gentlemen thouglii with him
that the meeting had already been too long
delayed. The resolution was negatived.
The t\tl€elll1_£', then proceeded to ballot for
President,the cliairman calling the republican
tiietnbers fur. the siatcs,in-tlie following order:

In all, 68—Messrs. Ball and Tatnall, being
confined by iudisposition, voted by proxy.
The Chairman proceeded to call the del-
egates from the territories, but was iuforin-
ed that these gentlemen, not iriulerstaiitling
that they had a right to vote, were not present.
The tellers then proceeded to exaniiue the
ballots, when it appeared that Mr. Crauford
bad 64 votes, Mr. ./idruns :1, Gen. .Iac/izson i,
and Mr. Jlfacon 1. (Here the spectators in
the. gallery (which it as crouded) set up a hiss.]
The meeting next proceeded to ballot for
Vice President, Mr. V-anBureii having stated
that Mr. Tompkins had determined to retire.
Upon counting the votes it appeared that
fllberl Gallatin had 57, J. .0dmn.s' 1, Eras-
tus Root :1, J. Tod 1, Walter Lowrie 1, Samuel
Smith 1, Rig/its King 1, Wm. Euslris 1, and
Ric/Lard Rush 1——Total G6.
Resolutions were tlieu passed recommend-
lug Mr. Crawford and Mr. Gallatin for the
offices of President and Vice President, and
directing that the proceedings ofthe meeting
be published, accompanied with an address to
the people ofthe United States; likewise, de-
clztring that the members attended in the
(,‘l.'(ll‘(lCl8I‘ of private citizens.’ At 9 o’clock
the meeting at_ljottt'iic(l.
Remurlrs by the editor of the Rcpublicnn.——
It will be S'.'Cl1 by the abovestatenient titat in-
stead of 80, (the. number which we acceded
to the Radicals) only 66 could be mustered ;
and out oftliose,fuiu' individuals were super-
verse as to vote against the radical chief. A
few days since the Intelligencer and City Ga-
zette, the radical organs in this city, told us
that Mr. Crawford would be nominated by 1;’)
votes more than the nttiiiber which nominated
Mr. Monroe, in 18l6.—Where is this boasted
majority? Is it coineto this, that Mr. Craw-
fordhas only sixty.two friends in the House?
It may be truly said they have tirade tip in
noise what they wanted in numbers. We re-
quest 0111’ readers to detliict the number oftbose
who misrepresent their states, and then say
whether‘ we were tnistaken when, at the coin-
mencenieirt of the session, we asserted that
the election of the Speaker tested the real
strength ofMr. Crawford.
The correspondent of the N. Y. Statesman
notes as follows :—Froin N.Hampshire, Mas-
sachusetts, Vermont, Delaware, Tennessee,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama,
and Missouri, not a member of either House
prescnt——from New-Jersey, Ohio,Indiana and
Illinois, not a member of the H. of R. present
-—-frotn the great state of Pennsylvania only 3
meuibers present—-from New England only 6

Seir-ators—Georgia the only unanimous state.
The Gale of Sunday the 15th, did inucb in-
jury to vessels near New-York. The ship Fa-
vorite, bound to Greenock, was driven on the
Jersey shore, knocked off her false keel, and
broke the piutals of her rudder—-then made
sail but could not keep oil‘ before the wind—
the main and iuizen masts were then cut a-
way, and the ship forced over the shoal with
her foresail, and got otfat halfpast 4, when
she leaked fast. At 6 she was run ashore in
Prince’s Bay, but backed off; she was after-
wards run ashore the second time to the east-
ward oftlie Red Bank, where she now lies bil-
ged.-——Tlie ship Draper, bound to Londonder-
ry, was driven high and dry upon Point Com-
fort.—The ship Vtfilliam,bound to Cork,drift-
ed near the breakers off Point Coiufort, ‘but
was saved by cutting away her masts.——The
ship Lewis, Capt. Skiddy, froml-Iavre, and a
brig, were driven ashore on the ‘Vest Bank.
The brig Eliza & Mary was driven ashore at
Perth Amboy, and is new high and dry.
A ship went ashore on Pelican bar, L. I. on
il/Ionday niglit. During the gale ofthe 11th,
a brig boun_d to Boston, with a cargo of mo-
lasses, went ashore at Southampton, and was
entirely lost. The crew clung to the vessel
for several hours, but. were finally taken off
by the inhabitants ofSouthamptou. .
The ship Manhattan, which at. at N. York
on the 18th, was run foul of by a vessel on the
night of the 7th ult. The unknown vessel im-
mediaiely disappeared, and it is feared that
she went down with all on board.
On the tttb inst. the village ofIViltsbarre,
Pa. was visited with a violent htirricane,which
tore from its foundation the elegant bridge 0-
ver the Susqnehaniiali, which ‘cost $56,000;
The Episcopal church received tuiiclt injtiry,
and many buildings were blown down.
The late Frcshe!.——-It appears by the East-
ern papers, that great damage has been done
on the Connecticut River and its tributary
streanis, by the sudden breaking up ofthe ice
and melting of the stiow. The streams fitted
with large masses of ice. swept away every
thing that interrupted their course. Twit
britlges upon Green River, one in Deerfield,
and the other in Greenfield, were partly des-
troyed. Most ofthe bridges upon North Riv-
er, a branch of the Deerfield, are said to.have
been overtlrrown- On the Connecticut, the
east branch of the bridge at Brattleboro, the
western arc‘li pier, and abutment of that be-
tween Deerfield and Montague were swept off
and the other arches considerably injured.--
The bridge across the Coiiuecticut at North-
ampton was completely destroyed. It is also
l,ll1(lt.'l'$lt)()(l that the bridges across the Con-
necticut at \Vestinoreland, and \Valpole, N.
H. were entirely or partially destroyed. Also,
those. at Cbarlestown, N. H. Windsor, Nor-
wich, and one other fzirtlier tip the riverin VI.
The dam across the Connecticut at the tnotitli
of Mii|er’s River is destroyed, that at the
head of the Montague Canal materially inju-
red, and that at South Hatlléy almost ‘entirely
swept away. The Siuiderland bridge hardly
escaped the general wreck, being considera-
bly sliattered, and sotne of the principal tim-
bers nearly broken. The damage on the Ct.
river, is estimated at upwards of $100,000.
The Portsmouth, N. H. paper, states that
the freshet carried away the new bridge built
by the ‘Dover factory company, and Libbey’s
bridge in Dover, also the bridges in Raymond
and South Dcerfield.-—.Mcrc. flalv.

One hundred and forty-six persons died in

Canal Fund.—-The actual revenue of the
N. Y. canal fund last year exceeded the.esti-
tnate $113,002. The tolls produced 3119,9811.
It is calculated that the tolls for the current
year will amount to near $200,000.
The testimony of Com. Porter, before the
Court Mai'tial at Norfolk, has been gone thro’
wiili, and the squadron under his command
will sail immediately.
For the information of Revolutionary Pen-
sioners, the Nat. lutell. states that no act has
yet passed Congress, appropriating funds for
the payment of those pensions on the 4th of
March next, and the probability is, that the
appropriation will not be tirade in time to meet
the semi-aiiiittal payments dtie on that day.
It is advisable that those concerned should de-
lay their applications until notice shall be giv-
en of the appropriation having been made.
