The brave Miaoulis sailed on tire 29th ultimo, with a division 4 sixty ships,reafed not td return before he has either deb stroyed the enemy's hopes, or perished in the attempt. , ” The Turkish forces which had advanced towards, the plain of Athens from Negropont, have been repulsed with great loss by General Goura. On retreating to the' above-mentioned fortress, it was refused entrance by the garrison and inhabitants, so that this corps is harassed on every side, and in the utmost peril. With respect to the army of Dervish Pacha, at GI avia, it is in a state of the greatea confusion, and diminishing fast by deser tion. The troops who remain are in such a state of insubordination that it is with difficulty the Pacha is able to restrain them from proceeding to acts of open vio lence against himself. " On the 24th ultimo, General Z tvilia, the Sauliot Chief, ordered Colonel Lambro to attack a detach ment of the enemy in his entrenchments; owing, how ever, to a most unuAal circumstance, the Turks per ceived the intended nebvement, so that the Colonel was obliged to change his plan of attack. Advancing to within half an hour's march of Zeitouni, he observed a tower in which there was. a great number of Turkish officers of rank ; and not far trom it several tents filled with soldiers. Having waited the approach of night, Lambro rushed on the enemy, and after setting fire to the tents, attacked them sword in hand, killed thirty of the officers, and numbers of the soldiers. A stand of colours and a large quantity of booty, consisting of ba , rvage and horses, were the other trophies of this gallant affair. • The formation of regular troops at Napoli di Ro mania, advances rapidly, under the direction of M. Roditts, the Secretary-General ad interim ; while, with the splendour of their arms, novelty.of the evolutions, and military music, our youth seem highly delighted with the new organization, and recruits flock to the standard daily. The corps of artillery at this place, commanded by Major Stizelbergen, is still kept up, and in excellent order. A detachment, with two pieces of light field artillery, has been sent to Lechini, to strengthen that important point." PERNAMBUCO. The following account of the recent events at Per- nambuco is communicated in a letter to the Times, by the Ex- President : _ Sin—Having read sundry accounts in your paper of the capture of Pernambuco by the Imperial forces, I tope you will do me the favour to insert also this letter and the documents it contains. My property in Per nambuco would suffice to remove from the breast of every impartial person the most distant suspicion that I could hale been actuated in my resistance to the dominion of the Emperor, by any other motive than the purest desire to serve my native country. Private advantage could have no share in it. I had much to risk, and did not look forward, in what ever manner the struggle may terminate, to personal aggrandizement. After a long absence from my family, in consequence of the revolution of 1817, I had hoped, on my re►turn home, to enjoy that repose with them to which I had been for some years a suan,,er: but preferring the late est of my country be fore all other considerations, 1 abandoned the gratifica tion of my own inclination, by accepting, in compliance with the wishes of my countrymen, the charge to which their universal suffrages appointed me; and I feel proud in the conviction of having used my best exertions in a faithful discharge of the trust reposed in me. It is therefore with nu small degree of surprise, that I observe I am accused in one of the letters published in your paper, of having in a dastardly manner abandoned the army, and fled for refuge on board an English frigate. Had I been solicitous for my own interest or safety, they would have been amply insured by accepting the conditions offered by Lord Cochrane, as you will per ceive from the copy of them enclosed. The following plain detail of facts will thew that, situated as I was, I had only the alternative of claiming the hospitable pro tection of the British flag, or, in returning to Pernam buco, affording my enemies the °ppm tunity of gratify ing their vindictive and sanguinary inclinations. At six in the morning of the 11th of September, 1 received a letter from Brigadier General Lima, com mander of the Imperial Army, dated at the Engenho of Suassiena, four leagues from the city, requiring the surrender of it. But continuing true to the defence of Brazilian liberty, I immediately repaired to the general eecarnpment, and, taking with me 300 men, proceeded to reinforce the detachment stationed to impede the enemy's progress on the banks of the Jahoutao, about a league from their head•quarters. After advancing about two leagues v e met a party of that detachment, which stated that they had been attacked and dispersed. It was consequently found necessary to fall back, and endeavour, if possible, to get into the city before the enemy's troops. lint this proved equally impracticable, they being already n os,estion of past of it when we reach• d &he bridge of T.,colombo. A brisk fire being maintained, and :enduring it impossible for me toenter the town by the 'and ,ide, I ordered the troops with me t. , go round at d j in the main body of the army in at t•acking the enemy from the north side, while I, being auzious to get into the town to encourage and direct the defence niaue by the militia, the only force left in it, embarked in a jangada, in order to enter from the sea side. Oncoming off the port, the jangadeiros posi• l tively reitoed to enter, as they feared being assassinated by the Imperial troops, who kept up a constant fire. J was, therefore, forced to order them to take me on board his Britannic Majesty's ship Tweed, where I ar rived at two o'clock in the morning, and was most kindly and hospitably received by Capt. Hunn. Find ing it impossible for me to join the besieged, I wrote to Commodore Jewett, with conditions of capitulation, copies of which are enclosed. In the letter already alluded to, Captains Hunn and Wills are stated to have refused to receive tio English men on board, although they afforded me protection.— I am not aware that any one had applied, and am fully persuaded that any request of the kind would have been complied with. lam also accused of having been inimical to the ii frisk interests. In denying this charge, I can safely assert, that as far as it was deemed con sistent with the situation of the count' y, I at all times afforded every facility to the foreign trade and vessels in Petnambuco. Tile desire of clearing my character from undeserved aspersion must be my excuse for this long letter.

PROPOSALS MADE BY THE FIRST ADMIRAL OF BRAZIL TO THE GOVERNOR AND INHABITANTS OF PERNAMBUCO. 1. his Imperial Majesty Don Pedro 1. mutt be acknowledged Constitutional Emperor of Brazil. 2. Pernambuco, in conformity with the wish and eZample of a great majority of the provinces of the empire, will recognize and accept the liberal Constitution offered by his Imperial Majesty, sub ject only to such alterations as may be deemed necessary to be made by the Legislative Assembly, the Senate, and his Imperial Majesty, which are the three States of the empire. 3. The leaders of the opposition to the Imperial authority have liberty to depart by sea to any place beyond the limits of the Brazi lian empire, on signing a bond not to return without permission from his Imperial Majesty. And they have also liberty to take with them such property as bona fide belongs to them. 4. AU those who took up arms at the instigation of the said leaders, on returning to their duty, and delivering up their arms be , fore sunset on the 28th day of this current month of August, shall receive certificates of protection. 5. The fortresses, vessels of war, gun-boats, &c. must be plactd under the authority of the First Admiral, before sunset of the said 28th of August. The First Admiral engages to employ them for the protection of those who shall conform to those orders prior to that period. 6. They must give an account of all property belonging to Go. vernment, including the balances of the Treasury, the Custom house, and other public departments, and of all debts due to Go vernment ; besides this, they must give an account of all captures made from the Portuguese, and pay their amount to the order of the First Adndral. 7. If the First Admiral receives advice of compliance with those conditions, 24 hours before sunset of the 28th current, he pledges himself not to do any injury to the port, or to fire on, or bombard the town; or to take any hostile step whatever against the inhabit ants of Pernambuco, whose persons, property, rights, and privi leges, shall from that moment be considered entitled to the full pro tecdoa of that force, of which it would otherwise be the painful duty to use all its hostilities.

We have received Charleston Papers to the 10th. and Philadelphia Papers to the 21st October. They contain seine intelligence from South America. A conspiracy is said to have been discovered at Callao, the object of l which was delivering up the place to the Patriots; 80 persons are stated to have been shot. It is again stated that BOLIVAR has been victorious in Peru, and that he has taken Lima. The following are extracts: PHILADELPHIA, OCTOBER 20. We have received papers from Buenos Ayres to the (29th August. A letter from Valparaiso, of July 15th, announces the arrival of the American brig Frederick,, from Callao, being the first arrived from that place since the 3d of March; she does not bring any positive advices ; no battle had yet taken place, but a discovery had been made of a conspiracy in the Castle, to deliver it up to the Patriots, which was to havebeen carried inio effect thirty-five hours afterwards ; eighty of the con spirators have been shot. Bolivar has received reinforcements from Guayaquil and Panama—he already had a force of more than 14,000 men, and was pursuing Canterac. The two armies were near each other when the brig sailed.

A French brig, commanded by Count de Rossie, had arrived at Valparaiso, and the object of the visit having been demanded by the Government, the Captain replied, that the vessel had been dispatched solely for the pur pose of protecting French commerce on the coast, and that it was the sincere wish of the King to observe per fect neutrality towards the belligerent Powers. FROM THE AMERICAN, BALTIMORE PAPER, OF OCT. 18. Extract 'of a letter from Buenos Ayres, Aug. 5 : 4, Letters received in town last evening state, that a battle had taken place in Peru, and that the Patriot army was victorious ; Bolivar had taken possession of Lima, and would march in a few days to attack the main body of the Royalists." FROM THE PHILADELPHIA NATIONAL GAZETTE, OCT. 18. A •essel arrived at Rio from Lima, on the 23d August, which brought intelligence that Bolivar was marching against the Spanish forces, with an army of 8,000 men. By the arrival ofnr .— szil Mail, we have received. Rio de Janeiro Papers, from the 30th August to 19th September. Those Journals contain addresses, &c. from various places, declaring the resolution to main tain the Constitution. It will be seen that the Emperor has projected a great public work—the formation of a new Dock, which is to be cut out of a solid rock of granite. The news of the reduction of Pernambuco had not, of course, reached Rio at the date of these Papers: IRON ruz DIAN() OLUMINZNSIL RIO DE JANEIRO. The paper of the last date contains severe animad• versions on those enemies of the just and holy cause, whose ambition is insatiable, and who, employing all the resource of vile intrigue, daily spread reports which alarm the unwary. The writer then alludes to certain reports of reverses pretended to have been experienced by the Imperial troops before Pernambuco, and exag gerated representations of the strength and resolution of the rebels in that city. AUGUST 31.—0 n the 27th instant, his Majesty the Emperor, accompanied by the Minister of the Marine, the Vice-Admiral of the Port, a Colonel of Engineers, and numerous other Officers, embarked for the Ilha das Cobras, to perform the ceremony of commencing the formation of a dock fit for the building and repair of ships of the line. It is to be hewn in the rock, of suffi. cient size to contain a ship of the largest class, with a clear space of at least ten feet all round; the greatest length will be 230 feet, the greatest breadth 72 feet ; depth, twenty feet below high water mark; breadth of the channel of communication with the sea, fifty-eight feet. In this channel will be the locks ; and we under stand that the steam-engines that will be required to pump the water from rho d nrb after it is closed, are already bespoke. This dock, which we hope to see finished in a few months, will be one of the most re markable in the world, as it will be cut in a rock of solid granite, consequently as durable as the rock itself. Sari. I.—To-day, for the first time, her Majesty the Empress, accompanied by his Majesty and four daugh ters, went at nine in the morning to the chapel of Nossa Senhora da Gloria to hear mass performed, in gratitude for her Majesty's recovery. , SRPT. 9.—The 7th of this month being the anniver sary of the independence of this Empire, was celebrated by his Majesty's order with due solemnity. All the forts, and the ships of war in the harbour, tired salutc4 at sun-rise, noon, and sun -set; and their Majesties at tended the performance of Te Deum. The troops could not be reviewed, as was intended, on account of the heavy rain. Sum 13.—We understand that it is the intention of our Goverment to found a University in this City, which will be highly agreeable to Emilie, who are now obliged to send their children abroad for their education, at a great expense. The French Papers of` Monday and Tuesday have reached us, but they contain no intelligence of interest beyond speculations as to the evacuation of Spain by the French troops, which now apirears determined upon. The Etoile contains a long article on the subject, the tenor of which indicates that the resolution has been de finitively taken to withdraw the army, pursuant to the stipulation of the Convention of the 50th of July last. —Should this be the case, it will be the strongest proof yet furnished, that in invading Spain, France had more for her object the extermination of the factious at home than in the Peninsula. What wilt be the result,, when FERDINAND is left to himself, it is difficult to divine, but Spain can scarcely be more wretched than at present.

The Court was this day more than usually thronged, in consequence of its being understood that the above case would have come on for argument. Among the auditory we observed several of the Elders of Albino, Chapel, a number of the hearers, and no small sprinkle of Ladies. Mr. SHADWRLL called his Lordship's attention to the case as fellows ;--4 4 May it please your Lordship—ln the case of the Attorney-General v. Alexander Fletcher, your Lordship was pleased to order the motion to be made this day. The Attorney-General, however, my Lord, is not present; and as the duty of making the motion necessarily devolves on him, perhaps your Lord ship will order the case to stand over? The LORD CHANCELLOR —Mr. Hart is also in the case. How is he this morning ? Mr. FONILANC said, Mr. Hart was very unwell still, bat there was considerable amendment. Mr. SHADWELL—You see, my Lord, in the absence of those Gentlanai, the necessity of letting the case stand over. The LORD CHANCBLLOR— CertainIy. To what day will you have it? . Perhaps Thursday next will meet your wishes? The respective Counsel intimated their acquiescence. and an order to that effect issued accordingly.—Muth disappointment was manifested. JUDGMENT. IN' THE MATTER OF MARSHALL AND OTHERS. The LORD CHANCZLLOR, in this case, directed an in quiry to be made, as to who was tl e person blameable for the deterioration of the valuable property named in the pleadings, and that the rents should be paid to the receiver, and by him•appropriated in the regular way? His Lordship strongly urged the parties to let this in timation be final, and never again appear in the Court of Chancery. The remainder of the morning was occupied in hear. iag motions of n• interest save to the parties concerned • COURT OF KING'S THIS DAY. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. NICHOLSON V. NASSAU. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, Mary Anne Nicholson, the bar-maid at the Castle Inn, Salt hill, against the defendant, for a compensation in damages, for a breach of promise of marriage. The cause was tried at the late Sittings at Guildhall, before the Lord Chief titmice, when the Jury found for the plaintiff 5001. Mr. ATTORNRY-GIRERAL now moved for a new trial, on the ground of excessive damages. The Learned Counsel said, that although a correspondence had ex isted between the parties, and a promise of mai riage been entertained by the plaintiff, it appeared that the defendant was in a very bad state of health, which was of a permanent standing. His own income was not more than 1801. a year, although stated at 4801. but this difference was to be made up at the discretion of his mother. The letters which the defendant had written to the plaintiff were dated four o'clock in the morning, and from them would appear the infirm state he was in, some parte-being in ink and other parts in pencil, and then leaving off in consequence of fatigue. The letters put in on the part of the defendant sheaved his infirmities; that he could have no motivr in mart) ing, notwithstanding such had been in contemplation. Under these circumstances, the Learned Attorney-General trusted the Court would grant a Rule, in order to pre vent the defendant's property being swept away by the verdict.—Motion for a new trial refused. The LORD MAYOR being personally known to the Duke of Yoan, his Royal Highness promised his Lordship to dine with him on Tuesday, at his festival, The Royal Duke in conse quence, commanded his Levee, as Commander-in Chief, to be held at two o'clock instead of four, to enable his Royal Highness to be in time stGuildhall. The Levee occupied the attention of the Royal Duke till a quarter past four o'clock. There were about forty Of ficers present, amongst them were Lord Esiwaao Somme; Lord Kean, General Gasconta, Lieut.-General Sir Wu.t.ust Hoes- TOON, Sir JAWS., WGiamou, Sir ROSIMT POEMS, Sir Cstasi.as Siounau, ow. The Strand entrance to Bedford-street is undergoing aa alteration, which will add much to the safety and convenience of foot passeagers. A THIRD EDITION of LORD BYRON'S CONVLRSA• TIMIS was published this day, printed uniformly with his Lord ship's works, in octavo. The late banking-house in Bond-street was first set up between fifty and sixty years ago, by Messrs.llcncr and Bitch, Gentlemen more respected for their pru dence in business than for the extent of their property, although that, too, was respectable; afterwards a M►. Holm, their chief clerk, was admitted as a partner, and so the firm remained till the death of Mr. Hello . , when it was altered to BIRCH and Hops, in which it continued for a considerable number of years ; and, •t last, upon the demise of Mr. Hoass, Mr. CHAMBERS, who had also been a clerk, came in as partner with Mr. BIRCH, who died in 18W.
