The Washington city pnpers announce the arrest of a Postmaster at Big Lick in Virginia, some distance beyond Abingdon, lor a supposed tobhery of the mail. This may account lor he failures and losses, which have icccntly occurred in the i: ansportation of U tters.

I was in the field about one mile distant)

when a stone fell which weighed eleven pounds and a half. This took place near him, his wile, and three other women. A number of respectable men were present when it was lound and taken up : it was twelve inches under ground. 1 have seen one that fell at Mr. David Gariet's, on Station camp, and part of one that fell at Mr. John Bone's. I have also hcaid of one more that hu been found. These stones are perfectly similar, glared AVith a thin black trust, and bear the marof having passed through abodyot fi refund smoke. Many gentlemen have been cached within a lew da) s to come to my house and rec them, and say they never saw such before. At the tcrjuest ol some gentlemen I look them to Gallatin on Monday last, which was the Bist day of our county court, where they were shewn publicly. I design to send the largest of them to Nashville in a few days. Yours respectfully, HUGH KIHKPATRICK. Drake Creek, Sumner county, May, 16 We have seen and examined the stone picked up by Mr. Kit kpatrick. It is of a very singular character, and shall icceive a more particular description heie-alter.

Hugh Kirkpatrick, which confirms, substantially, the statement given abov e, with some additional details. To t.Hc Editsrs cf the Au.r;.V fimnrr. I will now give you a statement, as correct as i3 in my power, respecting a phenomenon which has taken place in my neighborhood In doing this, I will con"Tine myself to facts, and submit them to philosophers to explain. On Wednesday 9th May, about four o'clock, P. M. the day being clear as usual, my son and servants were planting corn in the field, they heard suddenly a report similar to a cannon, which was continued in the air, resembling that of a battle, the firing of cannon, or muskets litonn. niu! the lie:tinT of driltUS.

--Somc small clouds made a terrific ap V. pcarance vith a trail of black smoke, v) f rom which came (no doubt) a number of stones, with a loud whizzing noise, which struck the earth like that of a ponderous body. One of these stones my son heard fall about fifty jardsfrcm where he was.

He b. ought with him I sou Mainotes. The number ct Greeks at this time assembled in Attica, amounted to mote than six thousand men, and 2vio.uahi, Seraskicr of the Tin kish army, had nearly eight thousand soldicis ; but there was a remarkable difference in the two armies. The links, who were fealcn at the PiicCtis on ihe 16th February anj who returned to Athens en the 18ruane 1 9th of the same month, had lost their courage ; ihcir protisions were also shoit, and they were compelled to act, in order to get out of the difficulties of their situ ation. The Greeks, expected no farther reinforcements, wished for nothing else but a third decisive action, and a moment favorable to their wishes failed not lo present itself On the 2d of March, the troops iif Rcdschid Pachi directed their march towards Mount Pcntclicus, in order to retreat into Bcc'ia: the Greeks had quitted their camps at Eleusis, and advanced as far as Cepuisus Having frerA that station noticed tbc retreat of

Capture cf ihr liuctics ,-iyrean brig cf war iJai:.ra We learn from Captain Hcppciiktall, of the Bi itish Brig Speedy, anived in Hampton Roads yesterday, in forty -two days fiom Rio Janeiro, that the Brazilians had captured the brig Pampai a, which was fitted out at Baltimore a few months since the captain oHwipcb has been imprisoned, and tfrc Emreoto determined to keep him so.

Mr. Olivcira, an officer of the Braiir ian service, came passenger (express) in the Speedy, and proceeds for Washinj;t6n this morning in the Potomac. We conjecture lie is charged with some communications of importance to the Brazilian Minister at Washington. Mr. Raguet, Charge d'AtTairs of our government at Rio Janeiro, had not taken his departure, but would leave there seen for the United States.

He says that success declared to the side ot ihe Buenos Ayiean3 the two fi; st days, but that subsequently ihe Brazilians gained decided advantages oer then,; that instead of twelve hundred Brazilians being fefidcadon the fuid as hiaitd in that account, the number of killed did not exceed three hundred Ihe 19 sail of the B.azilian frqUadroD said to have been captuttd by C ..,0dorc Biown m the sea ercac, mem am reduced, by Mr. ClLcna" o lour oi five boatcanying each one gun. which were so much lidtllrd. from thesevcny of fight, as o 6e scarcely worth repaying Uy far the larger partof ibis flotilla was dest.oyed by the Braziduns themselves.
