THE WESTERN SUN.

VINCENNES, February 17, 1810.

The last mails were uncommonly barren both in foreign and domestic intelligence, the only articles of moment will be found detailed below. The bank of Red and Yellow Paints, upon Silver creek, (Indiana) about four miles from this place and Jeffersonville, and two from Clarksville, is about to be brought into life, which will prove a valuable acquisition to the country, and profitable to the proprietors. The Paint is proven by every necessary experiment, to be of the first quality it may be procured in vast quantities, and prepared for use with little trouble or expence. The red is deep but beautifully enlivened by a complexion of scarlet. Lou. Gaz. NEW. YORK, Jan. 3. . Yesterday morning commodore Rogers left the Constitution for Washington, on which occasion the frigate fired a salute. Captain Councy, and other gentlemen of the Navy, preceded the commodore. It seems that all the leading officers of the Navy, have been ordered to the seat of government, where, it is said, a plan is to be arranged for the enforcement of measures about to be adopted by government. SALEM, Jan. 2. The Belle Savage, capt. Jones, from Cadiz, the 19th Nov. put into this port on Sunday, being bound to Bottom We did not have an opportunity of seeing the captain. We understand that he was but a short time at the place, and had but little opportunity to obtain intelligence concerning the public affairs of Spain. A person who converted with him informs us that it was among the reports there, that Bonaparte had arrived at Bayonne ; that a very powerful force was on its way with him to Spain ; that large reinforcements had arrived by another route, and that the marquis ol Wellesley had gone to Madrid. We do not learn the object of the marquis's visit ; it has been sometimes suggested in the London papers, that through him some advances had been made towards a negotiation for peace ; perhaps this circumstance may be consideration as a corrobation of it ; or his purpose may be to negotiate terms for the Spanish patriots, in case of the conquest of the kingdom. We further understand that capt. Jones represents the patriot cause as very feebly supported at Madrid, or at least the people diviided tor and against it the French ; that the fall of the country appeared inevitable ; that, the supreme junta, though not dissolved, was recduced to three members ; that the Spanish ships of war in port were unprepared for sea, and that

the Spaniards were determined, if the French got possession of Cadiz, that the English should not carry away their fleet It may he remarked; that the report, from Cadiz have continually been of a very uncertain and contradictory nature. According to present appearance, however, there is little room for hopes to the cause of the patriots. Spanish America. Late letters from London say, that in the event of the entire conquest of Spain by Bonaparte, the most rigorous measures will be adopted to erect Independent governments in South America; for which purpose Miranda had been making the necessary preparations and arrangements. One of the letters adds, " Should Britain be so fortunate as to take the lead in an enterprize

of such vast moment to herself, and

to the liberties of the world, her

fleets would be amply sufficient to protect the sea-board, while the inhabitants, who have so long sighed for independence, might organize for themselves, a government suited to the genius of its citizens; and if agriculture, commerce, and the arts of peace should meet with that protection, which doubtless, in all well regulated communities are of primary importance, those splendid regions, now the haunt of misery, and the abode of wretchedness, would under just laws and wholesome regulations, exhibit in a few years to an admiring' world, the transcendant advantages resulting from independence and selfgovernment." It is reported that Information has been received of. mr. Erskine's arrival in England in 22 days. He sailed in the frigate Af.
