erto prevented the reduction ofthe fortress of
atrass, and ofthe castles of Lepanto ; and
as the Turkish fleet williiow probably supply

stores, a considerable period may still inter-

L.\'rr-2 1~‘aoai,'Pisitu.--We were yesterday
favored with :1 Panama Gazette of the 3d of
June, which contains an official account of
the following irnportant occurrence:

General Olaneta, with a large division of
troops in Upper Peru, after having defeated
and captured General Caratala, who had fol-
lowed him with an equal force, had joined
the Chilian forces and declared in favour of
Libegty and Independence. This event is
considered as decisive ofthe fate ofSoutli A-
merica: it took place early in May.

Letters from Guayaquil ofthe 26th of May,
recieved here yesterday, confirm the above
intelligence.

F3211 COLOMBIA.——-Bogota papers to the
Isl July arc rec’d at Boston. A law has been
passed for laying a direct tax on all the citi-
zens of the republic. It embraces every indi-
vidual ofboth sexes, and property ofevery de-
scription. Each person is to pay a quarter
‘ofa dollar for every fifty dollars ofhis proper-
ty. The collectors are to receive the tax from
the persons liable, and if any opposition is

GOLD !—Every person in this island is bri-
sily employed iii digging for gold, so that
they cannot be had for airy other employment.
No doubt you will be surprised when Iiiiform
you one piece of pure gold has been found,
weighing Svzlb. 8 oz. and many pieces weigh-
ing from 14 to 16 lb. I have seen several pie-
ces ofthe latter weight myself. The sclir. that’
left yesterday,has upwards of 100 lb. on board.

Extract ofa letter from an American geri-
tleman at CL'RACOA,Jtlly £’."2.-—The above ex-
tract is entir'ely coiifirrned ; for since I have
been in this Island, scarce 8 weeks, upwards
of$l50,000 in value of pure virgin gold, 24
carrots, have come up from Aruba.

The government ofthis place have noticed
it, and proclamations are in circulation to pre-
vent speculation, and other regulations, re-
specting this most valuable acquisition. The
piece of 3E’.lb. weight is here, and appears per-
fectly pure and ductile as lead. The Dutch
Governinent will have the exclusive benefit,
and have taken measures to secure it.

Nrtw-Yonir, Aug. 20.

Mr. Joseph Price, of W'ilmiiigton, Dcl.
who was one of the crew of the Gen. Gates,
anti was taken prisoner by the natives of New
Zealand, has arrived at Boston, and furnished
a narrative oftlicir capture.

The Gcn. Gates sailed from Boston in 182!
on a sealing voyage, and on the 10th of Aug.
follouing, Price was landed with five others
on the coast of New Zealand, to catch seals.
After remaining there six weeks, having pro-
cured 8563 skins, they were taken by a party
ofnatives 0 New Zealand, at 10 or 11 o’clock
at night. The ‘natives set fire to their lints,
burnt their skins and destroyed their provi-
sions, not knowing the use of them. They
then tied their hands behind tliem,and marcli-
ed them to Looking Glass Bay, a distance of
more than a hundred and fifty miles. They
had nothing to eat btit roasted fish. They were
then marched 200 miles to Sandy Bay, where‘
they found a collection of savages. who carri-
ed them before their King and Queen. As
soon as they arrived, one of their number,
John liawtcr, of London, was ordered to be
killed. He was tied to a tree and struck on
the head by two savages, armed with cliibs.—-—
His head was cut off and buried, and the rest
ofthe body they roasted in a kind ofoveii un~
der ground, and offered to the survivors to eat;
and having nothing else, they were forced by
hunger to partake ofit. They tied the remaiii—
ing five to a tree, with 50 men to guard them.
’The next day James W'ebstei' was killed and
roasted, the day after Vi/m. Rawson of New
London, and the day after William Sniith, of
New-York, shared the same fate. The next
day, from what they could learn from the
chief, James Vlfest of N. Y. was to die; but
the night previous, a heavy squall rose from
the east, with thunder and rain, which so
frightened the natives, that they all ran away
to the west with a hideous noise, leaving the
1--.en tied under the tree. They succeeded in
untying themselves, escaped to the shore,
found their boat, in which they put to sea
without provisions. They were not 80 yards
from the shore when they saw 700 savages
coming in search oftlicin. They had been 8
days in the boat, when they were picked tip
by the brig Margery, Captain White, ofSid-
mey, N. Sou_th Wales, at which place they
were landed on the 1__0th ofNoveinber.
BOSTON, Aug. l8.
The Hon. Mr. Quincy, Mayor ofthe City,
-was brought to trial before the Police court,
yesterday, upon the complaint of Ashael
Drake, carter, for galloping his horse so as to
endanger “persons standing or walking in the
streets, lanes and alleys.” It appeared in ev-
idence, that the Mayor on this day week, gal-
loped his horse through Sea-st. at 7 o’clock in
the morning; and two witnesses testificd that
the gallop was manifestly dangerous to per-
sons who might be passing through the streets
at that time. The Mayor though he pleaded
not guilty, (because he considered his riding
not to be dangerous to the citizens) yet he ex-
pressed his desire to be fitted by the Court, in
order to show that no individual could bepla-
680 alJ0Ve. the law :—-tliat those appointed to
execute it were eqrlally as amenable to its pen-
alties as every other person; and that every
one, whatsoever might be his situation, ninst
expect to incur a fine upon being proved guil-
ty of driving at an iiiiinoderate rate through
the city.

Justice Orne summed up the case, and af-
ter dilating upon the circiiiiistaiices, fined the
Mayor the sum of $9. and cost, amounting to
gr: 84 cents.

We ought to add, that at the time inentioii-
ed the Mayor was engaged on public business,
was hastening to meet a coininittee-, and that
there wcrc very few persons in the street.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 24, I821.

Much ofthis paper is devoted to a descrip-

that steadfast friend ofliberty, LA FAYETTE,
whose arrival we briefly noticed in our last.-—
Iii this nor in any other country was there ‘ev-
er witnessed such an uiiiversaliexpressioii of
profound respect and lieart-felt gratitude to
one. individual as has been manifested on this
occasion towards Gen. La Fayette. The
bursts ofapplause and the shouts of welcome
which fall upon his ear are confined to no
party,age, nor sex,-—all feel the same impulse
——all unite in honoring the man to whom, un
der providence, we are so much indebted for
our liberty and present prosperity. While ta-
king by the hand his few remaining compan-
ions in arms, and beholding in what affection-
ate remeinbraiice his name is held by the de-
scendaiits ofthose with whom he fought and
bled in the cause of liberty, what delightful
associations and tender recollections iuiist
crowd upon his memory, and thrill his soul
with joy! and how little will he regret the
sacrifices which he made for such a people l
Surely he will feel that it can no longer be
said ‘ Republics are always ungrateful.’

The accounts on the preceding page are to
the time of his departure from New-York for
Boston on Friday morning last. He left the
city about 3 o’clock in a coach drawn by four
elegant grey horses, attended by his son, the
committee ofthe ConirnonCouiicil,Ald.Hone
‘and Col. D. C. Colden. He was escorted to
Harlaerii by a large body of troops and citi-
zens, and after restiiig halfan hour, receiving
the congratulations ofthe inhabitants, he pro-
ceedetl and arrived at Byram (30 miles) in 3
hours after leaving New-York. A reg’t of
horse artillery from the city escorted him as
far as Piitiiaiii’s Heights, Horse-Neck, where
healighted amidst the shoots of the asserti-
bled multitude, and viewed the celebrated
spot where Gen.Putnam made his miraculous
escape from the Britisli troops in the Rev-
olutionary war. To some of the by-standers
the General observol that .\Vashiugton and
himself once rode five miles otit oftheir way
to visit this spot. A salute was fired at the
place, after which the tiiilitary escort from N.
York returned, and he continued his journey
under an escort oftroops from Stamford and
of citizens from the adjoining towns. Af-
ter remaining at Stanifortl long enough to re-
ceivehthe congratulations ofthe people he pur-
sued his jbiii'iiey and arrived at Norwalk in
the dusk ofthe evening. Here considerable
preparation had been made to receive liiiii,antl
he drove tip to the Hotel under a military es-
cort, accompanied by a band ofiiiusic, and a-
lighted amidst the discharge ofiniisquetry,tlie
roar ofcaniion, and the clieeriugs ofthe hun-
dreds who had assembled to birl him welcome.
He was conducted into the house and intro-
duced to a great number of ladies and geri-
tlemen, w_liom he tiiost familiarly and affec-
tionately took by the hand, often expressing
his thanks for their attention. The scene
was interesting beyond description, and was
well calculated to draw tears froui eyes that
do not use to weep.- Such an excitement
was never before witnessed here. It was felt
and acknowedged by all, and by none will it
be soon forgotten. The feelings oftlic son on
this occasion were also,as may well be supposed,
powerfully excited. To an inquiry wlietlier
he was not very much fatigued,he replied,witli
tears streaming from his eyes, ‘ 0, how can I
be fatigued while so much attention and re-
spect is paid to my father.’ The General and
his suite resumed their journey about half
past eight o’clock, and as “they crossed the
Bridge stopped fora nioriieiitto gaze upon an
arch which had been erected during the day
and illuminated in the evening, bearing the
inscription, ‘ Wir.Lcoiur-: I1AFAYF.’1"I‘l-1.’ Here
he was again cheered as, he passed on, after
which the assemblage peaceably dispersed,
rejoicing in this opportunity of manifesting
their respect to the man whom they had
alway.. been taught to admire for his virtues
and his patriotism. The General took
supper in Fairfield, lodged in Bridgeport, and
arrived at New-Haven about ten o’clock on
Saturday morning, where he was received
and treated with suitable attention.

Owing to the carelessness of somebody,
who ought to be made to know or to do better.
we received no papers by the last New-York
mail—our readers will therefore excuse the
want of late news in this paper.

The President ofthe United States has di-
rected that General LA FAY!-‘.T’l‘E be received
at all the United States’ Naval Stations, and
by all the United States’ Ships in coniinission,
wltli the honors due to the highest military
rank in our service.

A letter from Charleston, ofAng.11, says:
“I regret to inform you the fever has broke
out. There was one death on Saturday, and
three new cases reported this morning ofcon-
firmed yellow fever. The strangers have
been publicly requested to leave the city.”

A Georgia paper states, that Coininission-
ers have been appointed by the President of
the United States to treat with the Creek Iii-
dizins for a cession oflaiid within the limits of
Georgia, and that great hope is entertained of
a successful issue of the ncgociatiun.

The question of the. introduction ofslavery
coiitinues tocngross the attention of all per-
sons in Illinois, from the governor down to
the huiiiblest squatter. The expectation is
tliatthe votes for a convention will be nearly
cqual;but that there will be a majority against
the measure. This subject has been agitated
for two years, during which a considerable
iiutiibcr of the people of Illinois have been
kept in astate of uncertainty, whether they
should continue inhabitants of it, or remove
fnrtlier west. It is affirmed that hundreds of
the most valuable citizens have pledged tliern-
selves to leave their coinfortable homes and
seek new residences at a distance should the
coiiveiitioiiists or slaveites succeed. The sec-
ond of this month (August) was the day on
ivliicli the important point was to be decided.
-—Tlie aiiti-coiiveiitionists had determined,
should the constitution be altered so as to al-
low the introduction ofnegro slavery, (which
is the object of the conveutioiiists,)'to lay the
question before the Supreme Court at VVash-
iiigtoii.——Palriol.

‘ We have had to-day a specimen of the
public feeling in this partoftlie, country, re-
specting the conduct ofthe late legislature.+
On entering the common in Waterloo, the
first object that attracted our attention, was 92
men swinging from a gallows; approaching
nearer, we found them labelled Flagg and

tained Redfield and another oftliesevenleeri,
than the bells commenced tolling, and in 20
minutes, some «hundreds were assenibled.-—
Mr. R. thought itgprudent to clear out. The
people, liowejver, soon pursued, and after ser-
anading him athis lodging, (about3 riiiles
from this) they burnt him in effigy before the
house. It is said 'most ofthe members from

had been taken by her on the 926th May, near
Trinidad. After ‘a laborioiis search often
days, chiefly tlirough Mangrove Swamps,they
succeeded in securing six ofthe pirates, and
shooting two. There is every reason to stip-
pose that those who have not been found have
perished. There was a variety of wearing
apparel found on board the pirate, some of
which is marked Ralph Hart, and others Dan-
iel Hart, as also an iron brand ‘ Azores.’

forenoon of last week, threw liiniselffroin the
top ofthe cliff at Mount Ida falls, near Troy.
It seems that in the morning, instead ofgoing
to work he put. on his best apparel and went
out. Somewhere between 10 and tlo’clock,
some boys discovering a hat and coat on the
cliff, were induced to examine further, and
found the bruised and broken man at the bot-
tom ofthe precipice, there about 60 or 70 feet

errible man was brought in, life yet lingering
in his shattered frame: this was about twelve
o’clock. At about 1, he expired, after having
suffered great pain.

seen on 'Wednesday last, by Mr. Ruggles, of
Bristol country, who was on Plum Island
Beach, with his family. They had a distinct
view ofliim in different positions for more
than lialfan hour. He came within 30 yards
nftliem, and they had a distinct view ofhis
head, which was shaped like an eel’s, and a-
bout two feet long. They saw parts of his
hotly, as much as thirty feet from his head, but
did not see his tail. Mr. R’s general descrip-
tion of the animal is similar to that wliicn has

Very ridiculous.-—Tlie remains of Lord
Byron, before they left Missolonghi, were put
into an oblong wooden case, bound with iron
hoops, and perforated all over; it was then
placed in a large cask containing I80 gallons
ofspirits, in which state it was brought to
England. VVlien the ship arrived of? the
London Docks, the case was taken from the
cask and the spirits were, as they should have
been. instantly thrown overboard by order of

letter. “ What shall I say more ? The ini-

quity of our enemies has so increased, that

beside the deluge. of pernicious books, contra-

ry to the faith, it even goes so far as to con-

vert to the detriment of religion the Holy

Scriptures, which have been given us from

above for the general edification.

“ You are not iQnorant,my veiierable breth-

monly called a Bible Society, is audaciously
spreading through the earth, and that in con-
tempt of the traditions ofthe holy fathers,and

agaiiist the celebrated decree of the Council

of 'I‘rcnt, it endeavors with all its power, and

by every means, to translate. or rather to cor-

rupt the Holy Scriptures into the vulgar

tongues ; which gives just reason to fear that

in all the translations the same thing may hap-

pen which has happened with regard to those

already kiiown-—-namely, that we may there

find a bad interpretation, and insstead of the

gospel ofClirist,tlie gospel ofmeii, or what

is worse, the gospel of the devil!

to turn this scourge, and in these latter times,

discharge of our apostolic duty, exliort you to
remove your flocks with care and earnestness
from this fatal pasttire.

this we rely with confidence on the Lord, the
power of Secular Princes, who as reason and
experience show, defend their own cause in
defending that ofthe authority ofthe church;
for never will it be possible for man to render
