George-Town, January 23.

The schooner Brothers, Adamson, from Barbados, is the only arrival since our last. Her passage was three days.

By the Brothers above-mentioned, we have received Barbados Papers to the 16th instant; but the only European article of intelligence contained therein (at least, of novelty and importance,) is the Death of Bonaparte. True it is, that the reports of this man's decease, have, in every campaign, been so numerous as the lances, by which he is now said to have fallen - and all have proved groundless. In the present instance, however, it must be acknowledged, that the situation in which he was, gives more than a probability of the declared event. In the name then, of a bleeding and distracted world; of those laws, human and divine, he has violated; of those countries, his desolating banditti have often laid waste, of that friendly intercourse of nations, which his decrees have prevented; of those arts, whose productions he has annihilated; of those sciences, whose progress to perfection he has retarded; and of that all-healing peace his death will be the harbinger of - we gladly give the following extract:

"London, December 11 – It is reported upon 'Change, and generally believed, on the authority of an arrival from the opposite coast (Dieppe), that Bonaparte is no more! – He is said to have been killed in an affair with the Cossacks on the 19th ult. His whole escort, consisting of 3000 of the Imperial Guard, was cut to pieces. He himself was pierced by a thousand lances of the Cossacks! – He must have been in the act of attempting to cut his way from Smolensk to the Duna, at the head of the remains of his Imperial Guards, when he met his fate."

The Barbados Papers, as we stated before, though somewhat deficient of European news; communicate however, much from North-America. Not satisfied with the ineffectual attempts yet made, for the Conquest of Canada, and the disgrace already synonymous with the American arms; the moon-struck Madison, it appears, has consigned another General to a fate, similar to that of his predecessors. See the following extract: -

"Buffaloe [sic], Nov. 21. - On Friday evening, at nine o'clock, the armistice concluded between General Smith and General Scheaffe expired, thirty hours notice having previously been given by General Smith. On Saturday morning a heavy firing of cannon was heard from Niagara."

The next arrival therefore, will probably announce the result of this third campaign, on the frontiers of Canada.

While however, we indulge in congratulation for the past, and triumphant anticipation of the future - we do not forget, that there is also announced by the Papers before us, an occurrence in the American seas, of a nature somewhat unpleasant; and we therefore present the following account of it, with considerable regret:

      "United States' ship United States, at sea, Oct. 30,
"The Hon. PAUL HAMILTON,
"Sir - I have the honour to inform you, that on the 25th inst. being in Lat. 29. N. Long. 29 20. W. we fell in with, and, after an action of an hour and a half, captured his Britannic Majesty's ship Macedonian, commanded by Capt. John Carden, and mounting 49 carriage guns (the odd gun shifting). She is a frigate of the largest class, two years old, four months out of dock, and reputed one of the best sailers in the British service. The enemy being to windward, had the advantage of engaging us at his own distance, which was so great, that for the first half hour we did not use our carronades, and at no moment was he within the complete effect of our musketry or grape - to this circumstance and a heavy swell, which was on at the time, I ascribe the unusual length of the action.
"The enthusiasm of every officer, seaman, and marine on board this ship, on discovering the enemy - their steady conduct in battle, and precision of their fire, could not be surpassed. Where all met my fullest expectations, it would be unjust in me to discriminate. Permit me, however, to recommend to your particular notice, my First Lieutenant, W. H. Allen. He has served with me upwards of five years, and to his unremitted exertions in disciplining the crew, is to be imputed the obvious superiority of our gunnery exhibited in the result of this contest.
"Subjoined is a lest of the killed and wounded on both sides. Our loss compared with that of the enemy will appear small; amongst our wounded, you will observe the name of Lieut. Funk, who died a few hours after the action - he was an officer of great gallantry and promise, and the service has sustained a severe loss in his death.
"The Macedonian lost her mizen-mast, fore and main top-masts, and main-yard, and was much cut up in her hull. The damage sustained by this ship was not such as to render her return into port necessary, and had I not deemed it important that we should see our prize in, should have continued our cruise.
"With the highest consideration and respect, I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant,
(Signed) "STEPHEN DECATUR.
"Number of killed and wounded on board the United States: Five killed, and seven wounded (including Lieut. Funk, since dead.)
"On board the Macedonian, there were thirty-six killed, and sixty-eight wounded. Amongst the former were the Boatswain, one Master's Mate, and the School-Master; and of the latter were the First and Third Lieutenants, one Master's Mate, and two Midshipmen."

Now, on the above, observation is useless, as the Macedonian certainly fought under similar disadvantages to those of the Guerriere.
 

LOCALITIES.

The Honourable Members of the Court of Policy assemble on Monday next.

Much speculation has hitherto existed, as to a wreck that has been seen by many, on their passage hither from Surinam, and the many articles that have been found on our windward coast. The former, however, is now ascertained to be the remains of the schooner Robert Augustus Hyndman; and the latter, of course, were a part of her cargo. The particulars of her loss are given as follows: - She sailed from Barbados for Surinam on the 3d of December, under convoy of the Crane sloop of war; but on the 18th, at about half past one in the morning, it being extremely dark, and the convoy tacking unperceived by the schooner, they both came in contact, and the latter sunk soon after. The people on board, however, were saved.

Affairs of Government have prevented the sailing of the Eliza Packet. till this day.

The home-ward-bound Fleet from this River, mentioned in our last, sailed yesterday.
