The latest news received there from Spain appears to he portentous. " The King has taken a stand,' says one of the letters, "in regard to the Minis try and the alfairs of Cadiz ; from which, if he do not recede, some fatal consequences will be the result in that devoted country." The Spanish Convoy had sailed for Cadiz. Two patriot brigs were ofFthe Moro, who pass ed on ahead of the Convoy, waiting for a favor able chance to cut some of them oil. The following extract from one of the letters from Havana, however, is of more immediate in terest to us : ' The pirates carry on their robberies in a more daring manner in every quarter ; and it is ex pected that they will soon cut the vessels out of the port. "The ship Ann, belonging to General George D'Wolf, of Bristol, was attacked yesterday com ing in, in sight of the Moro Castle, by an open boat, with about twenty armed men, when the crew were at dinner, and, had they not flown to their arms with promptitude, and beat them off, the ship would have been carried in a few minutes, as they were so near as to take deliber ate aim at the helmsman with a musket, and or der the ship to heave to. They were all con cealed in the bottom of the boat, except three, and, as soon as the musket was fired, they all shewed themselves, and were ready to board ; but the warm reception they received from the small arms of the crew of the ship induced them to push for the shore again. As thev kept astern of the ship, the captain coidd not get his cannon- guns to bear upon them ; otherwise they would have been sunk. I have seen t.vo more Ameri can captains, whose vessels have been burnt nc:ir Cape Antonio, shamefully abused and maltreat ed, and plundered of all they had." The same letter says : " By the arrival of a Hamburg vessel this eve ning from Port an Prince, we learn that Iloyer is in the possession of the whole of the island." National Intelligencer. ' DOMESTIC. POLICE OFFICE. new-york, feb. 14. A large quanti ty of ladies and gentlemen's wearing ap parel, several gold and silver watches, one of them a good, repeater, a piece of lace, and three or four rolls of silk, probably stolen from mantuainakers, together wilh two sets of silver tea spoons, were yester day brought in from a receiving house of stolen goods, and await the .calls of the owners. The Police would desire it to be re marked, that one set of the tea spoons was marked E- H. and the other C. though a tail had been clumsily added to the C. to change the description. February 15. Valuable, however, as The acquisition was which was brought in on Wednesday, it bears no comparison to the amount brought in from another es tablishment yesterday. It is many years certainly, since so much valuable proper ty has. been discovered together, if, in deed, there has ever been. The plate a lone, it is stated, makes two or three trunks full, and the clothing, consisting of ladies and gentlemen's coats, and silk frowns of the richest and rarest patterns, rlnwn to the more common articles of waistcoats, shirts, Sec. iic. would occupy the time of one man some days merely to resort and take on inventorv. Damask tabic linen of the size of four yards square, sheets, counterpanes, and other bed fur niture; silk and merino shawls, hose, jrloves, shoes and neckcloths of all varie ties and in great abundance, were also produced ; a good many dozen silver spoons, besides other more valuable plate, j;o!d and silver watches, and trinkets al most without end, may be added to the catalogue of the last, indeed, one of the officer's rather extravagantly perhaps, re marked, he thought there must be a bushel basket full. A lady's gold watch of particular ele gance and value, set round with diamonds, and furnished with chains and trimmings correspondent, was noticed among them ; and hope is entertained that it may prove to be one which was lost last summer, and advertised for some time in the news papers. A large silver tumbler was also observ ed, with an inscription on it, indicating that it was presented by the U. S. Vice Consul at Coquimbo, to Lieut. Childs, of the American Navy. The incredible sto ry told of this fine' article was, tht it had been pawned by the owner for half a dol lar ; it wjs worth from 25 to 30 dollars. How long this extraordinary mass of property mav have been accumulating how much of it had been stolen, and what measures of responsibility the owner of the depository will have to encounter, cannot yet be accurately pronounced. One tjiing is certain he has not proceed ed irt'thc way pointed out by law for pawn brokers, and stands exposed to certain and considerable pennies. Hy the ordi- nance, every pawn broker, though have a license from the Mayor, must k he ayor, must keep a book of entries, in which he shall note down every article left with him in pledge the name of the owner and the circum stances of the bargain, under a penalty of twenty-five dollars for every article omit ted. 1'hc person alluded to as the keep er of this Depository being asked, whe- ther he was licensed or not, frankly told the magistrate he kept no book at all. The officers have been several months upon the watch over this house, and one of them was heard to remark, that he took his stand one day on the opposite side of the; street, and in one hour s.r.v fifteen persons with bandits, pass in, and j not one with a bundle come out. Philadelphia, feb. 14 On Tuesday evening last, between 9 and 10 o'clock, Mr. George Sees, one of the silent watch of the city, was attacked in Thirteenth street near Market-street, by two black men, who knocked him down, took his mace from him and beat him on the head until he was deprived of his senses, andj after having robbed him of his watch and moncv, left him in that situation. His recovery is said to be doubtful. Another . lasauH and Robbery. Philadelphia, Feb. 15. On Wednes day evening, between 9 and 10 o'clock, a man was attacked by robbers, in Federal near Second-street, knocked down, his head and forehead shockingly cut, his clothes stripped off, and then left naked and speechless. In this state he was dis covered by some of the neighbors, who took him to a house, and called in a phy sician. .u';u7 Gazette. m m From the Freedmia, ("-V. Y.J Courier, Feb. 6. Uakbauous Mlhdeh. We have been informeci by a friend, (and a brother of the type,) direct from Ohio, in whom wc place implicit confidence, that a most hor rid and unnatural transaction occurred in the town of f iarpei sficld, Ohio, on the 22d ult. The facts as related to us, arc as follows : vOn the morning of the day aforesaid, while Mr. Samuel liartholomew and his wife were at breakfast, the Litter rose fiom the table and taking up an axe, un observed by the former, came up behind him and leveled a blow at his head, which felled it to the table, a second blow brought him to the floor, when she repeated the blows ten or twelve limes which fully ac complishcd her purpose. She then drag gcd him to the barn, a few rods from the house, covered him un with stalks and then spiinkled ashes along on the snow where the blood had been left. After this she remained in the house until Sat urday morning following, when she went to one of the neighbours to get help to put on a log ; said u bhe had killed Sam, and had no one to assist her. They did not at first put anv confidence in what she stated, but on her persisting in her asser tions, two ir.cn proceeded with her to the house one of the men went in while the other, discovering the trail of ashes and signs of blood, followed them to the heap j r- .it l 11 ' of stalks where the mangled corpse was concealed. She was immediately taken in custody and acknowledged all the above particulars. Mr. 15. was 35 years of age, ther of Vn.ir children, all of whom he had put out, as their mother had threatened to kill them.

She is far advan ced in pregnancy, and has expressed her determination to kill her child as soon as it is born, becau-c " she did not like its father." With all the horror attached to these particulars she tclates one incident which wc think is not a little amusing: She says that some time after she had ... , ... ,, .! some victuals and some whiskev that; H ! i r. -rvtill wit o-it nn.' fC tli 'i r- i 1 1 -j 1 : . hilt he drank- aome cf the whiskey."

From thj Onondaga f.V. Y.J Republican. A melancholy visitation. On the morning of the 2d January, Mr. Harvey Ilawley, of Liver pool, in this county, left heme in conspany with his wife, in a cutte r, for Johnstown, Montgomery county, on a viit to Mrs. Haw ley's parents. For four weeks nothing was heard from them, and their friends at home supposed them happy in the society of a maternal circle ; hut they journeyed to that country from whose ' bourne no traveller returns." On Tuesday of last wee k a hat and trunk vcre discovered frozen in the Onndaga Lake, a'ir.iit half wav between Liverpool and Salina, which, on being cut out, proved to have belonged to Mr. Ilawley, and upon a close examination the horse and cutter were seen through the ice. A hole being cut, the horse, cutter, and Mrs. I raw ley, were taken out. Mrs. IPs. arm is supposed to" have caught in the round of the cutter yl.cn falling, and remained fast through the r onies of death, and until taken out. An iron tooth rake was then prepared to search for Mr. Ilawley, and caught it in the cutf of his coat the second time it was sunk, and lie w as taker. fVcm about 40 feet water. It appear they had not accomplished the first two miles of their journey, betore they were summoned, upon a moment's notice, into the world of Spirits ! MILLEDOEVIIXE, CEO. TEn . 5.

Washington, FEn. 2o. Wc regret extremely to announce the dangerous illness of Mr. Pinkxey, the distinguished Senator from the state of Maryland, at his lodgings in this city tie was taken suddenly ill, a wee ago, in the night succeeding great exertions in arguing a cause in the Supreme Court ; and his life is now despaired of. At one yesterday, a rumor of his death reached the Capitol, and caused the adjournment of the House of Representatives, and, we believe, also of the Supreme Court. It proved untrue ; but the event is one which there is onlv too much reason to appre- hend may have taken place betore this paper issues from the press. Monday night 11 o'clock. Ten rnin- utes ago, Mr. rilNK,NL.i nreatncci nis last. After a course of the most acute suffering, he expired without a groan. Thus has departed, at an age when he might have rationally looked forward to many years yet of activity and usefulness. the Patriot, the Statesman, the transcen- dant Advocate, and one who may be rank ed among the extraordinary men that hive shed a lustre on their country, and adorned the world. We are not permit ted at this late hour to say more than to express our sincere participation in the grief which his decease will occasion throughout our country, and to commis erate the affiiction with which it over whelms his excellent family.

She was discov ered while in this situation, by a family who resided in the house with them, cut down, and after considerable exertion, was resuscitated ; the next day it is sidd, the husband compromised the affair with his wife, by purchasing a crape dress for her J IT ESI) AY MORNING, MARCH 12, 1822. TO COWlESrOXDENTS. The numbers of " A Farmer7 are on file : they will be published when the proper time arrives.

We think the subject of Internal Improvement, taken in several points of view, deserves more attention to brine: it properly before them. The funds of the state, the common property of all, are now expended in improving our interior condition ; and as no one, (un less it be our eastern friends,) is opposed to improvement, the question is, what shall we improve our roads ? ? Shall it be our rivers, or The one, we can easily do ; the other, our means, or perhaps natural ' 1 1 obstacles, mav render impracticable. Let the people, then, as every thing which j snau ue cione, will be done, ostensibly, at ,east fop their bcncfltdccidc Th; ob. ject of our correspondent is to show them thrf fliplr trn nolirv mnsits in imnrnv- 4 ; ing their roads, rather than clearing cut j , ivers . anc for this purpose our pages are open to him, and to :.Il others who feel sufficient interest, and possess the requi site qualifications, to write upon it. It may be well here to remark, that improve ments in this quarter of the state only, are intended ; in other parts, local circum stances will likewise point out the proper objects. It is stated in letters from Washington, that the Bankrupt Bill will be rejected in the House by a majority of ten, if not more. This attempt is supposed to be the last which will be made by the friends of the measure for some time to come. And if they will have a Bankrupt Law on no other terms lhan those contained in the Bills heretofore brought forward, they might as well never make another, cr not j until the feeling? of the penpie. or the nature of our government, has undergone an entire change. When such shall be the case, then they may succeed : we hope not before . Arrangement of the Circuits of the Su perior Court of Noith Carolina for the year 1822. Sfirincr. Fall.

How happens it that the Philadelphia publishers have omitted one whole chap ter of The Pirate, and that a very inter esting one ? Such is the fact; the thir teenth chapter is wanting.

The National Advocate, of New-York, notices a late annual meeting cf the " Krout Club," of that citv, held "at the house of Johaimus A'iclaus Grenzbach, where they feasted on '.our Ci-ont, Smoked Goose, Sati-taes, and such seasonable delicacies.' At ties meeting, in addition to the manv honours nreviouslv conferred, the learned Dr. Samuel L. Mitchell was elected Grand A'roi.t, which is the distinguishing appellation of the j residing officer. In an appropriate address up on the subject, the learned doctor naturally e- nough extolled the superlative virtues ox cab bage, the nutritious qualities of which, to use his own expression, were such as to "excite a smile on the hps of that useful domestic, the cow."

The deceased was a native of Litchfield county, Connecticut, and had been in Salisbury only about a year. It was his fate to linger and die with a pulmonary complaint, far from home, and among strangeis; but it must be a source of consolation to his relatives to know-, that it was his happy destiny to spend the last days of his existence in a family where the kind hand of sympathy smoothed the pillow of sickness and pain, administered to every want, gave every comfort and kind attendance which even the fondness of a parent could have given, and final ly performed the last sad offices of humanity to his remains.
