pilot, for the coast. That was the fir9t port
visited by Capt. Metcalfe. Mr. C's Journals,

Letters received yesterday from the Havan
na, state an important occurrence, in the mo
dern spirit of revolutionary' measures the
almost entire suppression of the monastic
and religious orders in that island, t which of
- course will not be confined to that colony.
A . lloy'al (Jvdar has lately been received there
for the sale of all property belonging to those
ReligioiiB Establishments ; consisting of hou
ses 'and lands, sugar and coffee estates, and
negroes, as well as mortgages, debts, !kc.
due to them. The monies"ftrrising there
from are to be paid into the'Treasury of the
Kims, who will provide for the persons so
dispossessed, by paying them a certain al
lowance per diem for their support. The
vevenuearising therefrom must doubtles, be
immense ; and the purposes to which it is to
be applied, and the source to which this ser
rious innovation-may be traced, do not require
the gift of divination to ascertain. It may,
perhaps, be considered as only a preliminary
step to more serious changes in the Spanish
government and nalioa. , .
The Commissioners nominated to enforce
e aforesaid decree in the llavauna, and the
Island, are -the Governor, the Bisha)y the

vateer pierced for 20 guns, which was fitting
out, was burnt, and all the small craft, gun-'

bout, were destroyed After the capture of
the Spanuiiugun brig El Experience, 30 of
the"ttivc's -crew ."were put on board her. . in
order to cruise, which the Spaniards obser
ving, sent out six gun bots, and a cutter to
retake .her, but slie beat the whole off, and
thty all 'fr turned quietjy to'thc na'rboiir.
The La Confiance is pierced for 3 guns ;
she had lately undergone a thorough repair,
"and the Carpenters were working on board
her when the boats entered the Bay ; on dis
covering which, they escaptd to the .shore,
leaving all their working tools behind them.
The .Spanish.. Commandant, with several
Spaniards, were killed in the action. Eleven
ofthe- Loire's crew including the Lieutenant,
-were wounded, three of "them badly..The
Lieutenant received a wound in the net k
with a sword, which is net considered to be
dangerous. Our Naval annals, rich as they,
are in brilliant actions, do not 'record ' one
mow. daring or more brilliant. The Loire
and licr prizes are arrived at riyniouth.
