C pt. Porli r had previously capttjnd two Spanish brijis (li war, one ol them IH^^uns and 180 men, the other 10 guns and 130 n.en. I he (lUein- ro inounted ^2 {funs, and had a crcw of 136 men .'I'he firiiifr m this action was heard in Havana, when the irigate Li altad, of a4 {juns anil jOO nun immtdiatily put to .sea. She is said to be a remarkable fast s:(iler, and the brij;' being' in a very crippled state, was soon o\irtaken b\ the frip; te, when a desnerate finlit ensued, which lasteil two hours and twen ty minutes, one hour and a quarter of w hich time, the two vessels were within speaking dis tance. During the engagenunt, the colors of dll tiueren. were tw ice shotaway anti replaced. 'I he t\v o pr vions engagements, and this long anil close light, exhaustetl the whole of the powdtranil shot ot the viucrrero, when as a ciinsequence, she ceased firing, and being so crippled in spars and rigging.

The circumstances of ihe case, as ihey liave t)een related to us, are bried» these:— Mr. Joseph Beverly, with two oihei young men of this {)lace were engaged, on the aliernoon ol Wednesday last, in utiing wood on Oak !iill, about one mile North of the College Chapel.—They bad felled a large hollow tree, and the com panionsofMr. Beverly proceeded to th lup, and commenced cutting off the bran rlies, while he remained near the stump. —Casting a glance inio the cavity of the tree he discovered something that had the appearance of a living animal, though from the obscurity of the place, he could not tell exactly what it was, but suppos ed It to be a Rdckoon which animals are lre(juently found in similar situations. He immediately divested himself of Coat, f'«tt, Set. and craw led into the cavity with Ihe intenfion of making a prize of whal- • II might be. He had however ad vanced but a short distance, when his progress was obstrocted by the animal, and the pressure became so great, that he 'vas forced to a hasry retreat, which he ef- 1'x.ied in a short time;—a,,d almost sim- ulianeously with his own exit from the tree he pcrccived, i.ssuing from the same place, in grc-f wrath, a Bear of uncoin* ironly lai ge dimensions. The sudden appearance of such a for midable antagonist, seemed for a moment to r*ara!yze tile mental powers of Mr* B. inasmuch that he never one** thought oi using his axe, which stood near him; but something must be done, and it seem ed important to do whatever was done, t|uickfy. .Bi uin, though he seemed niuch displeased at having his bivouac thus; suddenly broken, appeared disposed to settle the affair in an amicable manner, and by a retreat leave Mr. B. undisputed master of his iaie residence ; he was pro ceeding to put in pratiiie this pacific p an, when his assailant unceremonious ly grappled him around the body. Bruin seemed not to like this mode of treatment, and taking advantage of his antagonist’s unguarded situation, l)y a dexterous movement of one of his fore paws freed himself from his grasp, and noihw ith- standing the uncourtly treatment he had received, still seemed willing to leave ilie field without further controversy, and in lursuance of his intention commenced his march, at double quick time, in a North-Western direction. Mr.B.recov ering from his fall, and nothing daunted at being foiled in his first trial, immed iately pursued and overtook him at about yo rods distance from the place where the strife commenced, and again threw his arms around him, in order if possible to detain him till a further explanation could be had. Just at this juncture the two companions of Mr. Beverly, getting a hint that something uncommon was going forward, lefl their work and ad vanced to the scene of action, when one of them instantly levelled a blow at the Beat, with an axe. which, as it was given ‘uddenly, brought him lo the ground. Finding he was mortally wounded, they immediaiely tlespatched him and took off his scalp ! We are not informed wheth er he belonged to the Jackson or Adams party, though he had every appearance ol beingagood liver, and weighed be tween two and three liundred pounds. .\Ir. Beverly received several wounds in the contest, but we believe they are not of a dangerous nature. A uii'Ns ((Jko.) Jan. 25. Sitifi;ulorilies.—A gmtleman who was recetiiiy on a sur\eyiiig txi ursion in Ap pling county, infoims us be met with iri hal neighborhood, an old man named \\ illian> Starlin, who was a soldier in IJraddot k’s expedition ; fie had fourieen children by Ins first wife, and raisi-d near ly all of then.. After the death of his fust vvife he remaint d single ten yeais ; but findii'g it a lonesome way of living, a- notit thiee years since he married a maiden lady aged about forty-five years, 'V ill) in a year afterwards became the • lothi r of two fine boys at a birth, A few • eats since there was also living in the .ibove meniioncd county, a man who had married his wife’s sister, his brother’s uife, hii w ife’s daughter, his broihei’s datighter arid his niec«. I’his happened !>y the two brothers marrying two SKsiers in the first instance, and on the death of 'he wife of one, anti the husband oftheo- lu r, the survivors married together ; af- ti r which the wife dying, the husband married her daughur by his brother, be ing his neice. I lard by was a lady who had buried tix husbands, and not being over sixty years of age, it is supposed was not particularly averse lo try a se- 'entb. Atone of the liouscs where they passed the night, the proprietor, about se\etily years of age, had a handsome young w ile about seventeen years of age wiih a beautiful young daughter five months old. Leaih of Governor Clinton.—\Vith feel ings of deep concern, we have to an nounce Ihe death of J)e Wilt Clinton, (iovernor of New Vo:k. This melan choly event look place on ihe evening of Monday the 11th ult. and the particulars are thus given in the Commercial Adver tiser of Friday :— He had discharged his official duties duiing the da}, and wiitien several let ters in the course of the afternoon. A- bout seven o’clock in the f vrning he v\ as silting in his study, cot versing with two of his sons, when his head suildenlv fell backwards, and he died almost instantly. he ‘"'ft'al hetwee,, ihe attack and the arrival ol Di. Bay, the physician, at wfiich lime life Was extinct, was not more than ten minute.s. It is supposed that lie died ron. a sudden rupture of one of the larg.' blood vessels. The news immedialelv spread thiough the city of Albany, and an intense and painful sensation was ex- ci*« d, while the inhabitants remained in s^uspenseas to the result of the calamity. An inimtnse crowd occupied the house and Its precincts during the evening, i leans of resuscitation were ineffectuallv employed to a late hour. A deep gloom pervaded the city on the following morn- iiig. he Senate and House of Assembly adjonrned after making arrangements, or tf.e order of the funeral, which was to take place at 2 o’clock yesterdav. i he loss IS not only to New York ; it is a national loss. Yet he is not lost, for he has left a rich reputation behind him. Ihe fame ot our distinguished citizens constitutes the most precious of the mat- and the irtrut ol De W m Chnton has already irar- ersed all climes / it is known as fa." 3, science and letters have shed ibeir on mankind ; it will accompany the march of time to the latest ages,becf)ming bri;>t, ter a> it proceeds, Irom the accun.ula.t(! 'ributes with which posterity will adoir it. It is a circumstance worthy of re mark, that Governor Clinton had accent ed the task of pronouncing an eulogy the deceased Emmett. The appointed enlogiKernow sleeps with the chosen sub- jpct of his eulogy. Other orators n.usj now pronounce the eulogies on li(,ih I'he seat so lately occupied by Got, Ch^*, i(»n will for the present be filled by thj Lieutenant Governor; but the space which he has long occupied in the eye of the nation, it will be long before aiso. ther citizen of thai great State—proiifjj as she is in greatness—can arise to fill. Mr. Butler, one of ihe Representatives for Albany, a political opponent of the deceased, in a very chaste and meritec eulogium prefaced the resolutions to an point a committee to conduct the funeral and to pay other mark* of respect, which he submitted to the Assembly, and whicl' were unanimously adopted in both IIqu pes. The Courts in the City of Ne>v York adjourned immediately on tho melancholy event being announced. Counterfeit Dollar$.^A counterfeit Dol lar was received in payment at the Post OOice on Saturday evening ; It is of cop." per, thickly plated wiih silver, and bear» strong resemblance to the genuine Span ish Dollars; one or two small marks or blisters, where the plating does not adhere to the copper, and the want of a proper sound w hen the piece is thrown upon a table, are all the marks we discov ered which would lead to detection. C/ias. Courier. A Unitetl Slates Soldier, by the name of Bronson, was killed by a musket shot at Savannah, on ihe night of the Uili instant, in the act of coming out of the Circus—supposed by a comrade nanud Kimbati, who, ihe same evening, had been turned out of the Circus by a cm- stable. From the evidence given bdora the Jury of Inquest, it was supposed Kimbatt’s intention was to kill the con stable, who was near Bronson w hen he was shot. Kimbatt was coromiiied to jail. A Mrs. Simpson paid a new year'» visit to her husband in the jail of Davies county, Indiana, and the jailer good iiaturedly permitted her to remain in the jail over night :early the nexi nmrn- irigshe bid him an afftciionaie farewell, and departed in tears ; some hours after, however, ihe jailer discovered that he had departed, leaving her in his place, she having put on the breeches. She wus shortly afterwards discharged, and ho has not since been heard from. F*w husbands would object to their wives as suming the breeches on such occasions. On I riday night last, a man who saii his name was fVa^ner, and that he camc last from (j winnett county, Geo., was de tected in passing Counterfeit Money at ihe 1 icket Office of the Theatre. He was arresied, and on being search(d, be tween 600 and 700 dollars of roun erU it Bills on the Banks of this State, Souih and North Carolina, were found conceal ed in his shoes, stockings £c other plat* s. Besides the bills, he had spurious ten cent pieces. He was comrr«itted to jail, where he robbed the law of its penal op eration by hanging himself wiih his hand kerchief during thesami* night. Since writing the above, w e are inform ed another ingenious gentleman, who calls himself Young, and says he i*- fiop' Ncnh Carolina, has been in the hands of ihe Civil Officers for coiDmi’ment. Augusta Courier. Ex tract of a letter from a gmtleman nt Nai^ chez lo a member of Congress, dated Jim 21, 1828. “Gen. Jackson’s visit to this country, ooiiticaHy considered, is allowed by lii)- •wal and intelligent men of both parti'-s, 'o be a cotTipleie failure. His recepttou at New-Orleanb was cold in theextieme. No popular excitement could begolup. arul ihe Irionds of the Administratiuii, mi luding the great mass of wealth and 'alent, kept themselves perfectly aloof ‘luring the whole of the affair.” The senate of the Indiana legislature ha\e passed a resolution requesting the loveiiiorof that state, to address a r»’s- jiettful letter to General Jackson, inviting I'lni to state explicitly, w hether he favors that construction of ihe Constitution, which authorizes Congress to appropri ate money for ihe purpoac of making Internal Improvements in the several states and whether he is in favor of such a system of protective duties for the ben ' Jit ot American Manufactures as will, m a I cases where the raw material, and the ability to manufacture if, exist in otir country, secure ihe patronage of our own nianufactures to the exclusion of those ot foreign countries, and whether, ifeh ct- ed 1 rcsiduit of the U.
