The cap- ure was effected in a gallant manner. "On the 9th of May, the Colombian, NTERESTI & { admiral Papircra, who was blockad- ing Maracaibo, captured two Spanish schooners. The whole fleet then ‘&tood into the Lagoon, and at dag- light Admiral Padilia manned these two Spanish schooners with seamen "and marines, ordered them to hoist Spanish colors, and make for the city, and that he would send a few sail in chase, which, however, should not overtake them. All things being thus prepared, at seven o’clock in the morning the manouvre was commenc:| ed; the whole Colombian fleet im- mediately made sail in chase of these | two decoy ships ; they were seen by, the forts, which, not suspecting the trick, began to fire on the Colombians, and protect the supposed Spanish schooners, which anchored under fort St. Carles, and remained in battle ar- ray, firing blank catridges at Padilla, till bis feet engaged the forts. A landing was then effected from the withdrawn from the army besieging St. Sebastian for that service.

The news that Mina has succeeded in gaining the rear of Marshal Moncey, is confirmed. This the French ul tras call retreacing ; but when the general succeeds in effecting what hic adversary vainly endeavors to prevent It has very much the appc¢arance of advance. The Pilot announces that the com- munications op the road from Irun Vittoria having weed of pirotection, sey- my had been mwanouvering for ten days.

This able movement excites the admiration even of his antagonists. The report current among well in- formed persons is, that he has taken 2,000 prisoners. This I merely men- tion as a report, but the previous facts may be relied on with pertect certainty. ; The government here is in great consternation. Moncey has ordered the genera's engaged to be reprimand- ed ; at the same time orders have been given to palliate their fault, by saying that Mina is flying before them. Srl § Qo From the N. Y, Patriot, June 23, SON OF MURAT. On Saturday the 21st instant, the son of the late king of Naples report- ed himself to the Clerk of the Ma- rine court in this city, as an incipient step towards naturalization. It ap- pears by the report that his name is CuarLEs Louis NAPOLEON ACHILLE MuURAT ; that he was born in Paris, ind is 22 years of age; and in the col- umn intended for the expression of the present ailegiance of the party, he is stated as « owing no allegiance to any prince, potentate, state or Ssove- reignty whatever. From the open and engaging man- ner of this interesting and prepossess- ing citizen of the world, we think we may salely predict that when he shall have acquired a country, that Country will also have made the ac. quisition of a good and estimable cit- izen 3 and that he will find in the ranks of freemen more happiness than grandeur can bestow. In the mean time, he will enjoy that cor- IB PATRION ! imself, but fobs country.” WEDNESDAY, July 2. rn DEMOCRATIC MEETING. The proceedings of al democratic meet- ing, held in the city of |Philadelphia, will be found in this day’s paper. We were vauntingly told a few days since, that THOMAS LEIPER, JOHN LISLE, & others, heretofore uniform democrats, had abandoned the good vld cause, and were in favor of the fedral ‘candidate, Mr. Gregg. 1t will be seen by reference to the proceedings of the meeting. that Mr. LEIPER was the chairman, and not only wild he vote for Mr. Shulze, but old ashe is (near 90) he is among the most active in promoting the election of that genties man, We have authority from Mr. Lisle and all other of the gentlemen named, residing in Philadelphia, as being opposed to the election of Me. Shulze, to slate, that the story of ‘¢ their tergiversation is false, and witiiout a shadow of founda- tion.” Thev have, since the nomination, always advocated the election of Mr Shulze, and the person that brought the ¢¢ glorious news” of their change to feder- alism, was! not only Aoaved himself, but us to endere the mortification of haying hoaxed those ot his own party ; and they, still more mortified, will have to disgorge the ¢‘ glorious intelligence” which they so alack! greedily swallowed. Alas, and what a pity! —— nnn The democratic meeting held in Phila- delphia last week, was the largest ever held there of a similarkind. A complete amalgamation of the old democratic party has been the result. We heartily rejoice at this event. Old-school men, Binuites, Findlayites, &c. are no longer known in Philadelphia —tliey have taken each other by the hand, and present a phalanx im- penetrable to federalism, ‘Mr. Rinns, in speaking of it, says, * IT WAS A GLO. RIOUS RALLY.” It is indeed, the déath blow to federal hopes. Such unan- imity never before prevailed ia the Demo- cratic ranks ; and we assert with confi- dence, on information derived from the best authority, that Mr. Shulze will have a large majority in the city and county of it will be recollected, that, in the same district, Hiester’s majority exceeded 2400. What chance then has Mr. Gregg?! None at all. He will be further behind than his friend ROSS was in 1808. Philadelphia. Sl § Wo— LANCASTER CIRCULAR. We present to our readers, in a subse- quent column, a Circular, signed by a number of Federalists of Lancaster city. They have adopted Audrew Gregy as their candidate. We now call upon the demo- cratic party to determine, by their votes, whether democracy shall be forever an. nihilated in Pennsylvania? If elected, no doubt Andrew Gregg will exert every nerve to root out every thing like repub- licanism ; for his inveteracy to democratic men and measures, is beyond the power of words to describe. —— Bens. more with democracy, and the demo cratic frarty in Pennsylvania ! Both will become extinct. This anxiety of the federal party, is well worthy of being koown. It ought to be echoed from vale to wale, until every free- man ie Pennsylvania, who values bis rights, is aware of the danger that is at hand. The ¢nemy are making an effort to take the fortress, not by <torm, but by stratagem. They have assumed the name of « Democratic Republicans,” and head all their meet. ings as such, though composed en- tirely of federalists: but their device is weak. They presume much on the ignorance of the mass of the people. It is their constant theme, their whole depeadance and their only hope, that the people are ignorant and can be easily imposed upon. The revolution ofa few days, will convince them how The Phil- adelphia federal dandies may build greatly they arc mistaken. much on our rural simplicity, and the unsuspecting confidence our honest rustics are apt to place in appearan- ces, but we assure them, that in poli- are hund-eds ¥n the interior of Penn. sylvania, who have not had an oppor- tunity of seeing a newspapery who know more about the rise ot parties and the true distinction between a federalist and a democrat, than the aandies of our cities and towns, who think (hat it 1s themselves only who know any thing.

Below will be fhund the official account of the proceedings of the democratic town and county meeting, which was held yesterday alternoon in the county court house.. ln addition we have only room to add, that a more numerovs, respectable and harmoonis ous meeting has not been held mn Philadelphia since the late war, [t afforded a happy presage of the glori- ous triumph that awaits the democri- cy of the state on the second Tucse day mn October. It was gratifying to observe, that almost all the old, influential, and ac- tive democrais, of all sections of the party, atiended. Democrats, who have not acted together for years, were found in harmonious union—all old grudges and former disputes ap- peared to be forgotten. It is impos- Jble to state with accuracy the num- wer of persons present ; hut we think | better quit the political can perceive, I am well persvaded, that few can be imposed upon by the cloak which the federalists shave assumed. There is not a cottager «in the wide and deep silence and solitariness” of the Allegheny mountains, from whom one would suppose every means of inform- ation was cut off, that can be imposed opon by the trick the enemy of their vights is practicing : nor is there a prébability that any can be deceired It is 10 vain that the federalists cloak themselves in the Lion's skin, the braying betrays the beast. y A few days since, one of my neigh. bars chanced to be at wy house.
