victorious; having handled the Danes very roughly. The day following the rencontre, a boat put off from a Danish vessel with a number of sailors, but no oJicer, and towed towards the Gleaner. When sufficiently near, they rested on their oars, and commenced abusingthe American sailors; who in return, assailed the Danes with whatever missiles they could lay their hands on, which compelled them to seek safety in flight. A complaint was thereon lodged with the Governc of the Island founded on an alledged indignity offered the Danish flag. A court was convened the Americans ordered ashore for trial, when it was proven that the Danish sailors were the aggressors in every instance. Both the law and the evidence acquitted the Americans of the charge upon whith they were arraigned yet notwithstanding, the Governor, in order to allay the clamors of the plaintiffs, ordered that the Steward of the Gleaner should be selected tor punishment, and receive Twenty five Lashes, which sentence was rigidly executed.

NEWS We learn by the schr.1 Adventure, from Aux Cayes,says, the New York Gazette of August 11," that Christophe with 16,000 thousand men, was on his march for the lines near Port au-Piince, no doubt for the express purpose of drawing Petion's forces from the Coffee plantations as they were engaged in the crops. Petion was irritated, but had assembled a force sufficient to check any inroads which might be attempted by the enemy. Capt. Jenkins of the ship Gen. Scott, arrived at New-York on the 9th" August, from the coast of Chili, informs, that the army of the patriots under Gen Martins, consisting of 12,000 men, took' Valparaiso about the 17th of February, and that the General had returned to Buenos Ayres for more troops. He had previously taken St. Jago. General Count Lavalette, postmaster general of France in the reign of Napoleon, and a brave and distinguished military officer, has arrived at New-York. It will be recollected that he effected his escape from imprisonment and death through the active ingenuity of Madame Lavalette, aided by the gallant and magnanimous conduct of the three British officers, Sir Robert Wilson, and Messrs. Bruce and llut:hinson. The adventures of Count Lavahue have descrvingly excited much interest, both in Europe and Arncricaand the achievment of his libcratorshasattracteUto them

the admiration of all who revere great, noble and virtuous actions. Bait. Pat. LATEST FROMAipLIA ISLAND. Capt. Dungan of the brig Com. Decatur, arrived at New-York on Saturday last, in five das from Amelia, informs, that about n o'clock the evening before he sailed, the royalists began to storm the place, and kept up an uninterrupted fire with small arms and six pounders for several hours,The force of M'Gregor is said to consist of only about 200 men. The morning on which the firing ceased, the Patriot flag was still flying, but the final result not known. M'Gregor had a large armed brig and several schooners at Amelia, one of which had carried in a brig under French colors, loaded with coffee, on suspicion or its being Spanish property, and it was thought it would be condemned.

Gregorian Scrip It is a fact, communicated by a gentleman of the first respect ibiiity from Charleston, S. C. Sir Gregor MacGregor, when he was, last at that place, in order to raise the wind, fell upon the scheme of issuing a quantity of scrip ; something in this style : To every person advancing i,oco dollars, and in the same proportion for more, he gave a writing called a scrip, transferable by delivery, by which he engaged to convey to the holder 2,oco acres of land in Florida, whenever he should come into possession of it, or to repay the sum so advanced, with interest. It was hardly to be expected this scheme would take, but, however strange it may seem, he obtained no less a sum from the credulous Charlestonians than 160,000 dollars ; 60,090 more of the Georgians, and unless report misrepresents the truth, some of the scrip has even found its way to New-York. N. T. Evening Pest. FRANCE. The following deplorable picture of the state of France is from thepen ofa gentleman well known in the United States, and whose virtues arc not less distinguished than his talents. Aurora. The death of Dr. Muhlcnburg, Mr. Hamilton, Mr. Wilson, and Dr. Barton, are indeed deep wounds to science, particularly the latter Bat, my dear sir, our fine country is at present devoted to the great principles of legitima. cy, and in such a miserable situation,' that very little can be spared for mere existence, while France at the srme time labors under the greatest scarcity ; thousands and thousands are forced to eat grass and roots procured Dy digging the fields and woods; women and children are found dead, from want of foo:i ; suc.i is our mis Table situation, and Switzerland and Savoy arc no better." From the Columbian Register. Our government have lately sold to a French company, 1 00,000 acres of land on the Tinibechy, in the Mississippi Territory, at two dollars an avre-v-allowing thtm 14

years credit without Interest, c condition that they will cultivate theyine'and olive. 300 emigrants have gone on to these lands, at the head of whom is said to be Lakanal, Pennienes, Gamier de Saintes, the two L'AUemands, Desnonettes, Clausel, and others, with a crowd of artizans and mechanics, The N. Y. Columbian has an article from a "gentleman just returned from France, in which the writer says, " Or ail the nations in amity with the potent ktng of France and Navarre, none appear so dear to his royal heart as the United States of America. He has just granted one of his ships of war to the bishop of New Orleans, to take him and 40 French, Italian and Flemish Roman priests to Annapolis, whence they are to cross the Alleganies, and preach on the borders of the Mississippi, that absolute kings are the sole rulers on earth that are agreeable to God." The writer we think will find himself mistaken. However we may disagree with Ro man Catholics in matters of religion, we do not believe the patriotic bishop who addressed Gen. Jackson after the battle of NewOrleans, will countenance the preaching of the doctrine cf legilU mate kings in the U. Si at es. MARRIED On the 1st inst, by M. Monroe, Esq. Mr. Arthur.
