CHARLESTON, August 23. A letter from 6t Mary's received in this llrvJln Thursdaylast, under date of the

teen received there of a Tornado. having destroyed about half the town of Nassau. New Providence, and one hundred and thirty sail of vessels. TREASON DETECTED The following letter we received by the Eastern Mail of Thursday, from Capt John Fowler, dated" on board his Britannic Majesty's ship Ramilies, off New London, August. 28th 1813." and written by Capt. John Fowler, then a prisoner to the English Since the letter was written, we understand Capt Fowler has been released from captivity. X. Y. Merc. Adv. "The following is a list of vessels trading with the enemy off New London. August 10, the sloop Fame, with newspapers; the someday, the sloop Betsey with stores; on the 16h. the sloop Endeavor, with stores; on the 21st, a sloop from Sag Harbor came to anchor a little way f rom the shipping, the Capt. of the sloop came on board, and went on shore with an officer and showed the said officer Mr. Penny's houe, and told him Mr. Penny was coming off with a torpedo to blow up the ship' the first opportunity. That night a boat's crew, with the first Lieutenant went on shore and brought Mr Penny on board,, with his shirt tore off his back; he was put in irons in a place where he cold see no day light on a small allowance of bread and water, ha asked for a little salt but it was not allowed him, nor was he allowed a book to read. The above sloop left Sag Harbor on the 20th. We were often kept below, sometime half a day, when their friends brought them supplies, especially the Block Islanders, so that we might not see their faces The Ramilies is going to Halifax; the Valiant, Orpheus Atalanta, sloops of war, remain in this station. They have no boats. but each launch carries a twelve pounder; the pinnace and cutters a brace of sixes each. Everything that is taken is by the boats and ten or twelve good barges might take them all. This day, August 28th, a sloop from New-York with soap and candles, and water-melons came to anchor under the stern of the frigate. Your. &c JOHN FOWLER.-

New York Sept. 6. -. Extract of a letter from our correspondent at Burlington. dated Aug. 31. "The number of sick in this corps is

fast diminishing. We have now a hospi-

tal in proper order. There has been but

10 deaths for the last 3 weeks, which in an army of more than--men, at this season of tie year, is but a very small propotion. 1 have thought well to give you the information, in order that you may be able

to correct the gross misrepresentations relative to the to the matter, which I see are beginning to appear in the papers devoted to the enemy. The season will soon be past when the number of our effectives will not be much diminished fom this cause. - A friend has politely handed us a "I)ominica Journal" containing a detailed accounts of the terrific effect of a hurricane in that Island on the 23d of July, which shall appear in our next. These details are such as to excite the commiseration and sympathy of every humane mind. It appears that nearly the whole island is laid desolate; that a great proportion of the public and private buildings are leveled in the dust, and that many of the unfortunate inhabitant; were buried in their ruins. Immediately after the tornado had subsided, a council of war was summoned, and martial law declared in full force. The Pri. vy Council of the Island, have opened its ports, for the free importation of lumber, salt provisions &c. during three months., In the gale on Saturday evening, a boat which was kept alongside the Plantagenet in the care of an American prisoner, a colored seamen, got adrif; when he made sail on her and drove before the wind up to Willoughby's. where he run her ashore and came up. " The boat is eight tons burthenOn Sunday last, six negro fellows belonging to different farmers in the vicinof Cape Henry went down to the beach and made signals to the Plantagenet and Datterell when a boat immediately put off and took them on board A great many others have eloped in the same way, which induces us to believe, that the enemy holds a secret correspondence with the negroes onshore. This proceeding of the enemy suggested to some of the inhabitants a plan, which if it had been managed with more circumspection would have made him pay dearly for the negroes. -A party of militia(17 in number) stationed themselves behind the Sand-Hills, while two white men with their faces &, hands blacked went down upon the beach and waved their handkerchiefs to the ships, when a boat with six men immediately came ashore followed, at some distance, by two others full of men. Just as the men from the first boat were preparing to land, one of those bare ancles which he omitted to blacken, when the enemy exclaimed--"White men in disguise by-- Let us push off" "which they did, and at the same moment the militia ran out and fired upon them untill they were out of gun shot; they killed two out of the six. Had real negroes been made use of, the deception would have been complete and effectual. Norfolk pap. YANKEES THIRD CRUISE. SurcsfHl Privateering Arrived at Bristol, (R.
