SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE. Raleigh, r.V- C ) October I. The following little narrative savours so strongly of the romantick, that we houi 1 hesitate fan believing it, had we rot been told it j)V a gentleman who witnessed pan of the transaction : A person who had m-de a considerable sort une in Philadelphia as a butcher, Went rm board one ofthft Inst ships from Amsterdam, which hud a number of Cterirtan redemptkmers, for the purpose of purchasing one to assist Mm hi his business. After examining t'.e physiognomy of the pisse:vrrrs, without being able to ph ase himself, Ms nt nlic i was aires t 1 by tli tranquil and composed coun tenaiM e of a man father advanced in years, but with much appearance of strength and activity. Not less pleased With the tew tir of the conversation of the (ii rmatl than with his exterior, he v. ascribed the purpose Foi which he wanted a servant) and obalne 1 the man's c fiscnt to pure! ase his indentures, provided h would also pure' ase those of b s wife, who had accompanied him. The parties then wen; ashore to enmplete the business attended by the capt in ; and upon the harries ofte pcrs ns being m mtioned, to Insert them in the writings, they w re the same of the purchase i s father and moher ; and upon further inquiry tie ascertained them to be, in fact, his fathei and mother, the latter declaring, that if he war their son he had a remarkable mote on his h ft urm Which proved to he the case It is added, that nothing could so pass the joy of all parties The providence of God had Snatched the venerable pair from poverty end servitude, and conducted them to plenty and independence! Under the protection of an affectionate son. lie it see ma had runaway from his parents when tyuite ahoy, and from the tontintal war in Europe) neither had heard of the othei since.

From the National Intelligencer. Kveiy days experience proves to u the necessity of procuring more accurate and necessary information respecting the situation a;ui intentions of the South American colonies than we yet possess. The communication sirned Rent us, published in the last number of the Intelligencer, is a proof of it. There is no doubt of the fact, of Buenos Ayres having offered to receive a foreign prince, but it is one of those Facts which amounts to nothing when properly explained. The provinces of La Plata, (formerly the vice royalty of that name; thirteen in number, did m ; from the first declare themselves independent hut merely took the scovernmenl into their own hat;, Is. and proclaimed their intention of restoring the country to Ferdinand. After tlie restoration of t! 1 monarch, he sent an aent to take po;sesion in ptirstia.ice of the public decla rations of the people of Ciui)sAyres. B it instead of complying, the government of these pro-, vinees sent an aent to Madrid with a proposal, which i( might easily ha e been supposed could not be acceded to. The pride of the sovereign Would nor permit him to make terms with those he considered hi subjects. The proposal was thi ; (hat if the King of Spain would erect all South-America into a monarchy independent offr';4;;!!! in all respects, of course abolishing m nopoltes of every kind, they would receive his brother Don Ca 'los. To this proposal the king of course could not accede but offered to send his of , r as iceroy and to give tlie spionies many important prjS iie'g' - Toe apent of La Plata piHra ted the negociation for s oie Utjn ' r it was at lenrrt bro o ' 1 f ptovinces of La P'ala o iSc lCc!i July, 1816, formally ledaed I ,c nselves indepen(ieit,altoo?ih for ten years previously livi tinner tlicir o',5-,'?! v With respect to the otlbr ot a monopoly to the British. thi o,,: male by r-'c agents oi enezuela, who were in a ditVerent situation
