"We are informed, that they hare brought ;to and boarded every vessel that has left this ;port lately ; and hare pressed several men front them. :. . T , ' However insulting and degrading the above may be to the American character, we fear that it is but a prelude to a system of depreda tion, which is likely to be carried on in our very harbours, unless some vigorous and ejsc tivt . measures are- immediately adopted to protect our citizens and their property from the unwelcome visitors at the Hook At a late hour but evening, we were informed, that Che three masted schooner Nimros, Captain Manning, from Curracoa, for this oi3rt. vtas cabturtdotf the Hook, veaterdav. br the liritiah frigate Cambrian, and sent for .Halifax. .-. In addition to the above, we learn from CaptainShephard, wbo came up last , night, that the ship Aukoka, from liaVanna, and the brig Ckhii, from Martinique, were also taken possession of by the Cambrian, and lent for Halifax.

Extract of a letter from Kev-Orleans, dated Mtirch 10, to a merchant in riiladeipiia. " In our last we mentioned that the naviga tion of tht: Mobile had been closed by the Spaniards against the Americans ; since then the mail from Fort Sfoddart has arrived, and .the rider reports that governor Foialk was at Mobile with 300 men repairing the lorlihca- tions and that he, (the rider) was stopped and carried before the. governor, who mlor- med him, that he was determined not to per mit the Tnited States' post to pass through his Catholic Majesty's dominions by land Or water; we theicfore apprthrnd, that tha Natchez mail will be. stopped at Baton llouge, and if so, it must cross the river be low lbbcrvillc, and again from the mouth of the Red River to Pmcknejville : thii must necessarily occasion delay and risk of miscar riage. k- We fear from the slow and uncertain o perationsof our jjovernment, that we shall shortly be placed in a most critical and diss- gieeable situation in this quarter. Thinga with the Spaniards appear to be approaching fast to a rupturej and we are entirely de fenceless: the ftw miserable skeleton com panies of volunteers, are insufficient for the) security of the city from our internal foes, whilst we have nothing effective to oppose a ny attempt the Spaniards may make. The temptation is great, and the booty here will be immense : the two banks ali.ne contain up wards ota mulien and a hair of dollars in spe cie, and the quantity of merchandize is treat. On all these points the Spaniards are perfect ly inlormed. It might perhaps awaen our r-overn- ment if some ol the respect, bk inirchsnti interested i:i t!ie trade were W reprvsehl our situation to then.." AVti-JlrJ, ,prilQ.
