NEW ENGLAND FAUMEH. 



•.vn 



(z^Tiscelve days later from London. 



Tlie Ship Monroe arrived below New York on Mon- 

 -ly evening last, in 2S days ffom Liverpool, bringing 

 .onilon papers to the 4th of April. 



A Tostscript to the Mercantile Advertiser of Tuesday, 

 attd 3 o'clock, A. M. contains the following : 



DECLARATION OF WAR. 



Sun Office, London, Apr)l 3. Second Edition. 

 Government have received the DECLARATION 

 )F WAR BY FRANCE AGALNST SPAIN, as well 

 5 the Manifesto of the French Government on its ar- 



The Pirates. — It would appear by the following ar- 

 ticle from the Albion, that the late statements respect- 

 ins: the destruction of I'iratcs, have no foundation in 

 truth. 



" A letter has appeared in several papers dated from 

 the United States' ship Decoy, off Havana, April 1, 

 which mentions that the crew of his Britannic .Majes- 

 ty's frigate Hyperion were instrumental in captuiing 

 the jiirates who had escaped from La Cata, taken by 

 the Grecian armed cutter. 



We have good authority for saying that the Hyperion 

 was on the olher side of the Island of Cuba, and the 

 story of course, respecting the "captain in his gig," 

 has no foundation in fact. There were twenty or thir- 



lies entering Spain. IIow far Ministers may think , j r ^i • , . /■ i • i 



ro|,. r to giv? publicity to Uiese documents we cannot | 'X horses on shore ready for the pirates, most of winch 

 rflend to judge. 



Tlic Liverpool papers of the 5th appear to doubt the 

 b>vf intelligence, and state that no other London 

 -si't r than the Sun published it. 



Tlie previous accounts stated that the French army 

 foiild enter Spain on the 14th of April. 



The King of Spain set out from Madrid for Seville, 

 n the 20th of March, with a guard of 6000 men. 



DOMESTIC. 



At a term of the Circuit Court of the United States 

 leld in Portland last week, Jedediali Elliot and Jonah 

 Lustin, two old revolutionary soldiers, were tried on 

 .n indictment for wilful misrepresentation of the amount 

 if their property made under oath, in order to entitle 

 hem to the benefit of the provision of the act for the 

 elief of Revolutionary Soldiers. They had received 

 heir pensions since the first establishment of the act. 

 t appeared on the trial that they both held leases of 

 mall farms in the town of Windham, the place of their 

 esidtnce, a knowledge of which they had suppressed. 

 t was thouglrt by many that the false representation 

 ras rather the result of ignorance than of premeditated 

 ■rime. Austin was acquitted, and Elliot received the 

 allowing sentence, viz : " that he should pay a fine to 

 he United States of ten dollars, be imprisoned sixty 

 ays, and stand in the pillory one hour." The latter 

 art of this punishment, the Court observed, was im- 

 •osed because it was absolutely required by statute -, 

 ut the District Attorney was requested to use his in- 

 uence with the President to obtain the remission of 

 hat odious part of the sentence, which the Court had 



power to omit or avoid. 



7%e Mummy. — Messrs. Van Lennep & Co. of Smyr- 

 .a, have sent to this city, by Capt. Edes, a Mummy. — 

 t is from Thebes ; and we understand is to be exhibit- 

 ed for the benefit of the Dispensary and the General 

 Hospital. 



Last week a Rose Bush, in a flower pot, was sold at 

 inction, in this city, for $1 1,50. Salmon were sold for 

 51,50 a pound ; and the firrt one brought to market 

 .hb season (weighing 21 lbs.) was sold for $40. 



Eggs are sold in Philadelphia market at 8 cents a 

 lozen. Beef, in the same market, prime pieces, are 

 lold at 12 cents a pound. 



A hogshead of Tobacco, raised in Frederic County, 

 Maryland, and inspected in the city of Baltimore,. a 

 "ew days ago, sold for $35 per hundred. 



Rye and Potatoes imported. — The Electra, a vessel 

 rom London, brought one thousand barrels of rye to 

 me house in Philadelphia ; and Potatoes are brought 

 ;o New York by most of the vessels from Ireland. We 

 iiope our New England farmers will soon be able to 

 undersell the importers of the produce of their own 

 fields. 



Fishing in Rhode Island. — For some time past (says 

 the last Providence American) our market has been 

 plentifully supplied with fish of various kinds, which 

 have been readily sold at good prices. A few days 

 since, one of our enterprising fishermen took from the 

 river above Central Bridge 3000 pounds of fine bass at 



one haul. 



tl A Mr. Gent, of .ibbeville, (S. C.) upon a bet of 100 

 loUars, lately made in one day, between sun-rising and 

 ;un-setting, seventy five bed-screws, with their taps 

 -omplete, equal in size and quality to those usually 

 imported. — — 



A house in New York was lately set on fire by an 

 E^st India Cracker fired by a lad from an adjoining 

 vard. 



were mounted by the British tars, who pursued the vil- 

 lains into the woods. Among the pirates were two A- 

 mericans, one of whom being wounded and unable to 

 escape, in a fit of desperation r.an his sword through his 

 heart, and the other to avoid the fate which impended 

 over him, cut his throat in the presence of the sailors. 



It is asserted that the schooner Fox has reported, that 

 " they had taken and destroyed the greater part of the 

 pirates on that part of the coast." At the date of the 

 ailing of his Majesty's frigate Athol, which we be- 

 lli vc is the latest arrival from that quarter, one vessel 

 only, the Pilot, had been taken from the pirates, and 

 but one man captured in her. There is no truth in the 

 story of the British gun brig haiiug been captiued by 

 the Pirates." 



Lieut. Com. Henley, late of the Ferret, has returned 

 from the West India station, on account of ill health. 

 He states that Com. Porter had made such arrange- 

 ments, as would enable him to receive information 

 from, and communicate with every detachment of his 

 squadron with the greatest expedition ; and their 

 cruising ground had been so allotted, as to aflbrd the 

 gieatest security to merchant vessels, by convoy, and 

 the most prompt assistance in cases of aggression from 

 the Pirates, to all vessels going to or coming from ports 

 on the North side of Cuba. Lt. H. also states, that 

 the rendezvous at Allenton was very pleasant, and the 

 soil capable of producing every description of vegeta- 

 ble productions, though the water was not good. A 

 navy hospital was to be erected, under the orders of 

 Surgeon V\ illiamson, about two miles from Allenton, 

 where the water was pretty good. A hotel was also 

 to be established by one of the proprietors of the Isl- 

 and. — Gazette. 



John Dodge, Esq. of the house of Marple, Dodge & 

 Co. established at Cape Haytien, has arrived passen- 

 ger in the Victory, from that place, and reports favora- 

 bly of the peace, prosperity, and general happiness of 

 Hayti ; he speaks in the highest terms of the justice and 

 magnanimity with which the government is adminis- 

 tered ; and of the great influence which the example 

 of the public officers had given in the encouragement 

 and promotion of Agriculture.^the rich and golden 

 mine of the country. He also states, that the recent 

 proclamation of President Boyer, interdicting all com- 

 mercial intercourse, or trade, with the neighboring Isl- 

 ands, will operate greatly to the advantage of the U. 

 States, as being the nearest foreign country, and capa- 

 ble of supplying the Haytiens with every article they 

 may want, either of foreign or home fabrics, or the 

 productions of our native soil, at the earliest moment. 



A Pelican was wounded and taken in the Alleghany 

 River, at this place, on Tuesday last, by Mr. Sheldon. 

 He shot at it from the Bridge, broke one of its wings, 

 and took it in the river, below the Point. This im- 

 mense bird measures from the tip of the bill to the end 

 of the tail, 5 feet 1 1-2 inches ; from tip to tip of the 

 wings, 8 1-2 feet ; in height of the body 1 foot 7 inches ; 

 neck 1 foot 6 inches long ; head and bill 1 foot 8 1-2 

 inches ; mouth 1 foot 6 inches ; round the body 3 feet. 

 The pouch under Its mandible would contain 3 quarts. 

 The bird is very poor, and not supposed to weigh 16 

 pounds. — Pittsburgh, Pa. paper, April 25. 



Yellow Jessamine f overs poisonous. — On Sunday the 

 20th April, a small child of Mr. James Broughton, of 

 Edenton, N. C. aged about two years, after eating a 

 number of Yellow Jessamine Flowers, died in the space 

 of half an hour. In a minute or two after eating them 

 she became perfectly blind, and expired in the time 

 above stated. 



It is stated in the Nantucket Inquirer, that there 

 were imported into Nantucket and .New Bedford, dur- 

 ing the year 18'.!1 and 1822, comiirifing the average 

 term of one whaling voyage, in about a hundred ves- 

 sels owned in those ports, upwards of 4, ;itO,000 gallons 

 of whale and spermaceti oil. 



Mr. English, the American traveller in Egypt, re- 

 lates the following circumstance. 



" I saw to day," he says in his journal, " a singular 

 mode of navigiiting the river (the Nile ;) a man who 

 apparently was travelling down the river wilh his 

 whole family, had placed his youngest wife and her 

 two young children on a raft made of bundles of corn- 

 stalks (stems of llolcus) lashed together; he himself 

 warn by its side to guide it, while he Icept /lis old inj'c 

 a siciinming and pushing it by the stern ; and in this 

 way they proceeded down the river."
