The Brig Indiana, Captain Wallace, arrived here on Wednesday last from Cork and Glasgow with Salt Fish to the House of Messrs. McInroy, Sandbach & McBean, but brings no European news later than what we have already laid before our readers.

The Schooner Zephyr arrived in Berbice from Barbados, from whence she brings Papers of the 2d and 3d inst. which contain London news five Days later than the Packet.

The Ship Susanna arrived in Barbados on the 30th ult. in 35 Days from Liverpool; - on her Passage she spoke two American Vessels, the Ontorio [sic] and Gosport, bound to England from Opporto, which reported that a general rising of the Portuguese, aided by the Spanish Troops had taken place on the 20th of June, and that the few French Troops which remained after the massacre, were thrown into Prison, and that on 21st 20,000 men marched towards Lisbon, to extirpate the French from the Country, in which they are become truly odious.

At the time the above Vessels left Opporto a report was current, that Joseph Bonaparte, on his way to Madrid had been defeated and killed, by a party of Patriots, and that Napoleon himself had been wounded, and had narrowly escaped being made Prisoner. The above closely corroborates the accounts brought by the Flying Fish from off Cadiz.
This morning we have been favored with a Barbados Paper of the 6th inst. also by way of Berbice - By which it appears that the Rook Schooner had arrived in the West Indies express from Plymouth. . . .

An account from the Island of St. Thomas, says that a Spanish Felucca had arrived at Porto Rico, from Cadiz, with advices of the most amicable disposition towards the Britsh. She was convoyed as far as the Canaries by a British frigate.

The Active of Bristol has had a smart action with, and beat off a stout French Privateer to Windward of Trinidad - Mr. J. L. Forrester we understand was on board. The Active was destined here from Halifax, but fell to Leeward and is arrived in Trinidad with considerable damage.

The Brig Margaret, Holmes, destined for this Port arrived in Trinidad on the 29th ult.

A French Privateer has made her appearance off the Coast in the course of last weest [sic], she has captured the Boat belonging to Evergreen Plantation, and on Thursday evening attacked the Boat of F. C. Otto Esq. on her way hither from Berbice. - She has much the appearance of a Drogher, and is full of men. However as the Laura, the Bacchus and Skipjack are all out, we may hope soon to see her brought in here. - She discharged a deal of musquetry at Mr. Otto's Boat. She has two bow guns and one on her larboard quarter.

The Boat which we mentioned last week, as having sunk, has been got up and is safe in Berbice. The people who floated away on the boom and hatch, were picked up.

Died] - On Tuesday last, in Berbice, Doctor A. B. Morris.
At Mahaica, Mr. John Spooner.
