PUBLIC VENDUES. [heading]

[Transcriber's note: no new or updated Vendues in this issue]

Arrivals since our last - The John Duncan, Capt. Birnie, the Fame, Capt. Greenidge, and the Catharine, Capt. White - all from Barbados. By the Fame we received Papers to the 5th instant; and from which have copied several interesting articles.

LOCALITIES. [heading]

The Court of Justice adjourned yesterday, soon after the commencement of the business of the day, in consequence of the sudden and (ultimately) fatal indisposition of Adam Smith, Esq. as he was proceeding from the Barristers' room, for the almost immediate exercise of his forensic duties. He died with three hours after he was first attacked, and the interment of his remains is to take place this evening at Plantation Perseverance. The Messenger of Death in this awful instance, was a Fit of Apoplexy. The Court resumed its labours this morning.

In addition to the above deeply-regretted departure from this life, we have to add that of Albertus Backer, Esqr. a very old and much-respected inhabitant of these colonies; and D. H. Van Nooten, Esqr. The former died on Thursday last, on his Estate in Essequebo; and the latter, on Saturday, on the Island of Walkenham.

Mr. John Miller, of Stabroek, also died on Sunday - and yesterday was drowned, a Young Man belonging to the Ship Favorite.

The Subscription Ball, which was to have taken place on Thursday next, it will be seen, is postponed until the 16th of October.

The Maria and Teazer army-schooners, late from this river, on board of which were the Officers who composed the Court-Martial of Colonel Codd, we find are safe arrived at Barbados.

FOREIGN-INTELLIGENCE. [heading]

Verbatim from the Barbados Paper. [heading]

Bridge-Town, Sept. 5. - On Thursday, His Majesty's schooner Arrow arrived, from Falmouth, and delivered some dispatches that had been put on board by the Admiral of that Port for Sir Francis Laforey, on this station - her original destination having been for Trinidad, with dispatches for General Monro; and she sailed again for that Island on the following morning. [Transcriber's note: European news not transcribed.]

While thus assisting Spain with both British blood and treasure, how is it to be reconciled, that the party declaring for Ferdinand the VII. in her South American possessions should continue to annoy our traders? - several British vessels are said to have been carried into Porto Cavello, among which is the brig Lavinia, from Gibraltar bound to La Guira, and the brig John, Knight, with a valuable cargo from Liverpool, was detained at La Guira, on suspicion of having had some dealings with those inhabitants who professed themselves devoted to the cause of Independence - now, perhaps, annihilated for ever.

The information recently given of Miranda's being in confinement, is confirmed by His Majesty's schooner Elizabeth, lately from the Main.
