The fast sailing ship Sachem, capt. miliar d, arrived at this port yesterday from Buenos Ay res, whence she sailed on the 10th of March. We have received a file of papers of a late date, and a long letter from a correspondent at that place. From W. G. I). Worthingtnn Esq. late consul at Buenos Ayres, who has arrived in this ship, we have been politely favored with an interesting detail of recent occurrences in S. America, of which we have only time to notice a part in this day's paper. Mr. Worthington left Chili on the SOtli January, and made the journev across the continent from Valparaiso to Buenos Avres in 21 days on horseback, distance computed at 40 leagues. It was reported the United States frigate Macedonian arrived at Valparaiso about the beginning of February. The President's message had been receivBuenos Ayres, and some remarks ?. - "..! it in the papers. They seem to tle non recognition of their indci.lence by the United States to the impreion which had been made thi3 side of the t'opics, i ejecting their party dissentio!is. Thev e.rpected f it their sovereignty Mould have been acknowledged in co iseu-nce of the favorable reports which thev hat) anticipated from the commissioners but they d:d not seem to bear the disappointment in an improper manner. ! CJiili was by the last accounts freed from the loyalists. Ranches, who commanded there, after being beaten at Santa Fe, had retired among the American Indians. On the 14th January Lord Cochrane sailed from Valparaiso with his squadron, consisting of the Maria Iao?ila, (the frigate taken from the Spaniards) the San Martin, the Santero, and the Chacabueo ; supposed with the intention o touching at Arica, Collao, &c. and U capture and burn the shipping at the latter place, as they had on hoard a large stoie of rockets, and pr..Uioiu for 4 months. Jt was thought this naval expedition would give life ami ascendancy to the patriots of Linn. Captaia Wooster, of the Lautaro, the ral hero of the late success in Talcahuani Bay, had resigned. Lord Cochrane was fond of him. and wished him to remain. His place was filled by capt. Grie, of the British navy, so that the marine of Chili is now wholly commanded by Englishmen. The British frigate Andromache, which was said to be taking off from Lima about 5,000 V')) of dollars, perhaps hound to I?io Janeiro, it was suspected would be intercepted by lf d Cochrane, under the pretence or doctrine that she was violating her neutral cha-

SUMMARY Front XXes. - . Foreign Articles. ENGLAND, &C. Partial supplies of silver is furnished to the London bankers by the bank of England ; and as the value of gold over bank notes had fallen, it was believed that some issues of it might soon be made with ' safety." The Catholics in England are said to amount to 300,000 persons among whom, are 9 peers, and 17 baronets. Their spirit- j ual government is vested in four superiors, I called Vicars Apostolic, deputed by the pope. Each has his peculiar district. They hare about 9C0 chapels in all, mostly erected with in the last twenty five years, 100 of which are in Lancashire; besides the private chapels of country gentlemen. . The British Duke of Devonshire has given 10,000 dollars towards making the marble statue of Bonaparte's mother. In Stockport, England, a poor woman was lately sold, under an execution for satisfying one of those extra Church levies, so common now-a-days and her Holy Bible was sold for three shillings, and purchased by a gentleman ot that town as a curiosity connected with the civilization of the 19th century. Mr. Sheriff Roberts, at the bar of the house of Commons, presented a petition from the corporation of London, complaining of the crowded state of the gaol of Newgate, by the influx of Middlesex prisoners. Mr. Alderman Wood stated that it wrs crowded so that 47 prisoners, who were under sentence of death, were confined in 10 small cells. It was a fact that 16 persons, convicted of an infamous crime, were ail confined in one room. Brighton, March 13. We are assured, that a few nights ago, the Regent, in a merry mood, determined to sup in the kitchen of the pavilion. A scarlet cloth was thrown over the pavement, a splendid repast was provided, and the good humored prince sat down, with a select party of his friends, and spent a joyous hour. The whole of the servants, and particularly the female part, were of course, delighted with this mark of roy.-.i condescension 1 SPAIN. The Inquisitor General of Spain has fulminated his anathema against a work recently introduced in that country, entitled "The Coming of the Messiah in his Majesty and Glory," by John Josaphal Ben Erza. He orders all the copies of this work to be delivered up, and prohibits its being in future sold, kept, read, or printed, under pain of the grand excommunication, and a fine of 200 ducats, to defray the e.rpense of the Holy Office. He says the book has occasioned much disorder and anxiety in the minds of many persons, the learned as well as the unlearned. GERMANY. Frankfort, March 21. There is said to be a great misunderstanding between the courts of Berlin and Hesse Cassel. The Prussian minister has quitted Cassel to return to Berlin, and the Hessian minister at Berlin is undrstood to have been recalled. HAYTI. The account seems confirmed, that there is an insurrection in that part of Hayti under the control of President Boyer ; who had concentrated a considerable force at Jeremie, to which place he was about to embark in a frigate, to commence active operations against the revolted chief, whose name is Coma. MEXICO. By an official despatch from " colonel don Jose Barados," who claims a victory over Gen. Victoria, we learn that the empire of Ferdinand is not fully " restored" in Mexico. The colonel boasts of the capture of " thirty English muskets in very fine order." SOUTH AMERICA. McGregor has landed, with 1500 men, a little to the windward of Porto Bello a favorable position to communicate with the revolutionists of the different districts. Another account says, he haft only about 400 soldiers and 100 seamen; reinforcements being ea'pecttd. Commodore Joli has captured many vessels, prizes to privateers under the Artigas flag. The La Popa privateer had also been captured by him, ami was expected to be treated as a pirate. Brion was cruising to catch a pirate. These are Venezuelan squadrons, and we are much pleased U find that they are determined to maintain tie laws of civilised nations. They are on good terms with the Danes at St. Thomas. Margaretta is a very strong place 600 English troops lately arrived there. We have many reports of battles on the Main, but know not how to separate truth from romance. The United States sloop Ontario had carried a million or more of dollars from Lima, which she delivered at Rio Janeiro when she stopped at Valparaiso, and it was known that she had the money on board, under an apprehension that they would attempt to seize it as Spanish property, capt Biddle suddenly left the port. We should like to hear the details of this affair, should the report be true. The communication of Buenos Ayres with the interior was rendered very difficult by wandering hordes of Indians, called Monte neros. Bodies of troops had been inarched

against then without any decisive? advantages, as they are well mounted, and carrful to avoid 2 regular attack. A partial mutiny took place at Buenos Ayres among the milltia Blacks, on being harangued to inarch against those Indians. The regular troops were nearly all in Chili or on the frontiers of Peru, and the military duties of the city were performed by the militia. It was reported that orders had been sent to general San Martiu to match his troops to Buenes Ayres ; probably on account of the e.rpected expedition from Cadiz. It was thought that San Martin would be chosen Supreme Director. The royal Spanish general Ordonncs, and 52 other Spanish officers, being prisoners at "the 6 mile San Luis," attempted to seize upon the patriot governor, and make their escape by violence, though they appear to have been treated in the most hospitable manner. They were all put to death. " The congress" on the 12th December last, by a public degree, acknowledged Chili as a free state, sovereign and independent, w ith all the attributes.and plenitude of power which are inherent in the great and elevated character, and in form waited on the chief depnty residing in Buenos Ayres. 5C7 It is openly announced in the Belfaht News-Letter ot Jan. 22, that col. Urslar's rifle regiment, of 1000 picked men, had been completed, and that the last detachment had saild for South America! that a house of the first respectability had offered him assistance to the amount of 100,000. sterling. Mention is also made of the sailing of 400 other troops, from Hamburg and Cruxhaven, who are to form a part of the cavalry under colonel Urslar. The following is a copy of a large hand bill, publicly posted up in all paits of the city of Dublin. 1st rijie regiment. South America, army of Venezuela and Yetr Grenada, commanded by gen. Bolivar, supreme chief of Venezuela and the Grenadas. The most flattering encouragement will he given to such men, of good character, as shall be found qualified for Gen.M-erernas Irish Legion, about to sail direct for the head quarters of the Supreme chief ; none but effective and spirited men need apply. Well disciplined soldiers, who have their discharges, will be preferred, and will find this a most favorable opportunity to improve their fortunes, and acquire a handsome provision for themselves for life. Application to be made to col. Meade, S9, lower Ormoad Quay. Every volunteer will receive, viz. 1. Four pence in the shilling more than the British army, from the day of enrolling their names. 2. A passage to head quarters, with 60 dollars on arriving. 3. 1 pound of beef or pork, 1 pound of bread, 1 pounds of potatoes, and 1 noggin of whiskey per day. 4. Oatmeal and butter, &c. &c. on the passage. 5. A proportionate share of land captures, and prize money. 6. 200 acres of land, with eighty dollars to purchase implements cf agriculture. 7th. A full discharge, and leave to sell the land, with a free passage, if required, after five years service. A corporal to have 250 acres, and a sergeant 600, color do. 350, and so on in proportion. Every corporal, well recommended, will be made a sergeant, every sergeant a color sergeant, with the strongest assurance of promotion according to their gallant and soldier-like conduct. 'I o wad on the 18th of April next, from Dublin. ICT" 7'he reflections arising out of these facts are curious the British are placing a deep jan.e helping Ferdinand on one side, and opposing him on the other. Two men, J. AVood, and G. Bishop, were killed some weeks since, while trapping on Portage River, by the Indians. They had t enraged the Indians by stealing their traps ; and skins. A steam boat of seven hundred tons has ' been launched at New York. j The general election in Rhode Island has ! eventuated in the re-election, without opposition, of the present Republican general officers. A majority of republicans is also again chosen for the house of Representatives. Every branch of the government ot that state is therefore republican. Indians. By a report made to the assembly of New York, it appears that the whole number of Indians in that state, is 4976. Oneidas, 1031. The land possessed by all the Indians, is 271,523 acres by the Oneidas, 20,000. All the land is valued at 1,620,000 dollars. Steam. A patent has been taken out in the city of Washington, to apply steam in the pi ace of gunpowder to propel balls, yc. from cannon, &c. We are assured that much confidence is reposed in this discovery, and much confidence is excited as to the effects to be produced by this new application of steam. Sailed, from New London, Conn, a sloop for New York, having for passenger the celebrated Massachusetts Hog, which girts 7 feet, and weighs 1100, on a visit to the New York Mammoth Turtle. The swift steam bout TValk-in-the-JVater, is intended to make a voyage, early in the summer, from ButTalo, on lake Etie,toMich-

i'dimakintk. on Lake Huron, fur the conveyance of company. On the 9th April, the Villrge Factory at Dudley, Massachusetts, owned by Dr.Amasa Brantan, which originally cost 40,000 dollars, took fire, and with all its coctents,was consumed. It is suspected to have been the work of an incendiary. PORT OF ST. LOUIS. Steam Boat Intelligence. AuRirEDOn Wednesday, the 12th Mar, the Expedition, from Louisville.

CYNTHIANA, May 25, 1819. To the Public. I am credibly informed, that roy Wife, SJItAlI KIMBALL, has been engaged in trying to calumniate my pxivate character, and endeavoring to induce the Public to believe that it was thro' my improper conduct she was compelled to leave me. If she has done this, I pronounce her charges to be entirely false, as I am able to satisfy the world that I have been atten. tive to business, and soberly and frugally engaged in trying to make a support for my family; but from the wicked and jealous heart, and devilish disposition that my wife is possessed of, and the insinuations of some inhuman people, she was induced to leave me, and go with others. These (to avoid dilation) are facts which I am able to establish to the satisfaction ot the v. ti Id : and should it Le required, I believe my neighbors would take a pleasure in offering to the world a certificate of the aboTe ftcts. Resptctfullr, ISAAC KIMBALL.
