From Port ah Prince. New York, April 5. By the arrival yesterday mornin of the ship Sachem, m eleven days from Port au Prince, we learn, that the privateer Cioro, Ford, formerly the Ant, of Baltimore had been seized, together with her 3 prises, by Petion, it was expected they all would be condemned, A large amount in specie was found on board the privateer, and taken possession of by the government. The privateer True Blooded Yankee, Jewett, had sent into Port-au-Prince the schr. Mary, of New-York, owned by a Mr. Strong onboard. Capt Jewett had relinquished his claim to the Mary, but the government had seized and taken possession of her. A large privateer schr. commanded by Ohamplin had touched in at Port au-Prince for supplies, where she remained 4 days. The government were about to seize the schr. when capt. Champlin ordered his men to quarters, and threatened to sink the first vessel, great or small that attempted to come along side with an officer from the government.

100 feet of barracks occupied bv the B itish 27th regiment near Kingston Upper Canada, have been destroyed by tire, and it is said most of the military clothing ot the regiment was consumed. A case has occurred in New York which has induced its Senate to introduce 'An act concerning the Shakers.' One James Chapman had married Eunice Chapman, by whom he had 3 children-he then abandoned her joining the society of Shakers in Neskauna, county of Albany ; the children he took from her & concealed ; he insisted that the marriage contract was annulled, and warned all persons against trusting her, as he would pay no debts of her contracting. This being upon the principle of that society, who hold that it is sinful for a member to hold any intercourse with those who are not members. 'without, what they term, a gift from their elders,' & that all married persons who join them are therefore, absolved from the marriage vows. To arrest the propagation of principles subversive of the peace and happiness of families and the order of society,-the bill enacts, that Eunice Chapman is divorced from her husband, but that he shall not marry during her lite time-and that any married person who hereafter attaches him or herself to the society of Shakers shall be considered as civilly dead. and his or her property disposed of as if such person were really dead, &c. Compiler. The sudden and very numerOr ous emigrations into the Albania country, it is said threaten many With absolute starvation, unless they are shortly relieved from other parts. The brave Colonel Appling, who greatly distinguished himself during the late war, died la? civ, w e lament to state, at Fort Mongomery in the Mississippi Territory.

Extract of a letter from an officer of the armv to the editor of the Cape Fear Recorder, dated Baton Rovge, (La) Feb. 21, 1817. In passing through the country Iving on the north side of the Tennessee river, and recently acquired by treaty from the Indians I discovered a more rapid influx of population, than has perhaps ever taken place in the western country. From every state there is emigrants ; among them some of the most abject and miserable creatures on earth resolutely determined like faithful pioneers, to carry their object into effect. Resolute they must be for whites & Indians were frequently found in possession of the same uncomfortable wigwam. Some reports have obtained currency, of a war between this tribe and the C hoe taws predicated on the supposed murder of a white man, belonging to the Choctaw nation, by a warrior & a refusal on the pat of the C hickesaws to deliver him up for punishment. I presume it will be amicably adjusted. Abolition' of Slavery iv the state of Nmw York. "Bv a la passed on the 31st of March. 1817. the final and total abolition of slavery within that state, is declared to take place on the 4th day of July, 1827 In this law it is enacted, " T'at every Nopro, Mulatto, and Mustee within this state born before the 4th dav of July 1799, shall frrm and after the fourth dav of July 1827, BE FREE :n and by the same law it is further enacted that all Negroes Mulatoes and Mustees, born after the 4th dav of July, 1799 shall Be Free males at the age of 28 vears, and females at the ae of 25 vears.

NEW YORK, APRIL 5. Yesterday morning the fast sailing brig Wrangler, capt. Lavett, arrived at this port from Havre de Grace, 48 davs from Torbay, where he put in by stress of weather. & sailed from thence on the 12th Feb. during a violent gale after pasting one of his-cables and cutting the other. Capt. Lovett brings London papers to the 7t;i February from which the following interesting articles are extracted : The British parliament met on the 28th Jan. and the prince regent opened the session by a speech from the throne. The reKent was insulted on his way to parliament by the populace ; and on his return w as tired at and attacked w ith stones by a mob the windows of his carriage were broken lord J. B. Murray who attended the regent in the earriage, received a wound and his royal highness providentially escaped through the interference of the militia A London paper of tin 30th Jan. gives the following particulars of the attack made on the prince regent : u On the return of the prince regent from the house of lords, the crowd assembled in the streets had increased greatly. In St. James's park, in particular, the mob was immense, and they began to utter the most violent & indiscreet expressions, the instant the royal carriage appeared. hen the calvalcude hud reached

the stable yard gate, it appears that the glasses of the state carriage were broken on both sides, almost instantaneously. The general impression was, that stones were the missiles employed, and yet the glasses which are of uncommon thickness, were broken as cleanly as if done by a discbarge from a musket or pistol. " On the prince royal alighting from the state carriage at Saint James's palace, he immediately sent for lord Sidmouth ; and after waiting a considerable time for the arrival of lord Sidmouth at St. James1 palace, he left it in his private carriage for Carlton house : and the refractory part of the nopulace having left the park be was then received with loud huzzas. His royal highness left bis commands for lord Sidmouth to follow him to Carlton house, vhee his lordship arrived shortly afterwards, as did the duke of York, and the duke and dutchess of Gloucester : their roval highness having heard what had happened. !ost no time in repairing to Carlton house, to make enquiries. " Lord J. Murray who attended the regent in the state carnage a a lord waiting received a blow over the right eye from a piece of strong plate glass being struck against him." Late and highly Important from England. Bv the arrival this morning of the brio; Wrangler, cant. Lovett, in 60 davs from Havre de Gra e and 48 from Torbav England, the editors of the Commercial Advertiser have received a tile of London papers to the eveni;if of tine 7th February inclusive 12 davs later than before received.
