% • . MIRA MICHI. By the Lydia, whlkh arrived at Liverpool on Wed nesday, accounts have bean received from this unfor- Innate settlement to the 21st ult. The greatest misery and distress, as might be expected, prevailed among the miserable people who had escaped with only their - lives from the dreadful calamity of the 7th October. They continued to arrive from the mere distant districts which had been ravaged by the awful conflagration which laid waste the country. The inhabitants of Mi aruichi had, much to their credit, raised a subscription, and the wretched people had received every succour which the hand of pity could bestow. Exertions wile using to send off the sufferers to Halifax and other British settlements. Many of them had embarked on board the ships bound to Bngland ; fourteen arrived at Liverpool in the Lydia. With respect to the number of lives lost by this awful visitation of PROVIDENCE, we still have merely vague estimates, and it is probable that we shall never ascer tain the exact amount. The number was estimated on the 20th of October, 13 days after the calamity, at between 200 and 300 persons. Some lumbering parties had come in from the interior; but it was feared that many others had perished, and of whose fate we shall never receive any intelligence. We cherish the hope, however, that the loss of human life in this dreadful conflagration will be found not to have been near so great as the fears of the settlers have made it. An eye witness describes the scene as having been the most terrific he ever beheld. The masses of fire, borne on the wings of the wind, were very large. So intense was the heat that the fire communicated from the north side of nramichi River (which is about 1000 feet across, and wooded down to the water's edge), to the trees on the opposite bank, involving the forest in one terrible conflagration, and spreading death and de solation far and wide. This further account of one of the greatest calamities that has occurred for a very long period, arrives at the moment for producing a proper impression is behalf of the sufferers. EAST INDIES. PROM TUE CALCUTTA GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, JUNE 9. The Sepoys of the Chittagong Provincial Battalion, who escaped from Ava, and returned to our provinces through the track of country occupied by the Nagahs, were hospitably received by that wild tribe. The Nagahs accommodated them in their houses, gave them food, hewed them the road, and even made rafts, and nn the s e accompanied them to the British camp at Banskandy, there seeing them safely delivered over to their fritods.--(Here follows a long account of these' wountaineers.) _ _ THE PONT - ROULANT MILITAIRE.--Zy one of those expert mandates that have ceased to excite our sur prize, this novel portable structure, seen in full play at the close of Friday evening, was in the course of that night, notwithstanding the occurrence of a s quall an d a heavy fall of rain, taken down, and removed from' its position over the basin, on the Race-ground', where it had been viewed, and tried in every way cipriag the two past months, and during that time had also been exposed to several very severe gales . , which tore up large trees, and levelled ma n y a dwelling, yet not the least impr.ssion was made on the Rope Bridge, even in its exposed situation, although of 250 feet span, and the framing altogether superficial. In England the scheme of this experimental military structure is yet unknown ; but we have heard that the original Shakesperian, of which a model was sent home, has already, at Chatham and Woolwich, beers considered of great importance as applicable to the military. The curious foot bridge, constructed entirely of cane, or ground rattan, of'one hundred feet span by five and a halt, is still standing at Allipore. Tim EVENING STAR. LONDON.

The Loan recently negotiated at Paris, by the Depu ties from St. Domingo is the subject of much discus sion in the French Journals, and it is openly asserted by one of them that an unfair advantage was given, by a private manoeuvre, to the Contractor. Be this as it may, it seems quite certain, notwithstauding all the ex ertions of the French Minister to uphold the credit of the New Republic, that confidence is very reluctantly yielded to their national engagements. The interest they undertake to pay is so extremely high in the pre sent state of capital, tbat k is more to be set down as a premium for risk than a fair rent for money borrowed. Thus for 24 millions of francs, or 960,0001. sterling, in ready money, the Haytians undertake to grant an an• amity for twenty years of 60,0001. per annum, and to pay interest at the rate of 6 per cent. mall the unpaid instalments in the meantime. That is, they have bor rowed at such a rate of interest, as is equal to 7i per cent. per annum on the sums they owe, and they ~_ - further agree to pay off the debt in twenty years by' equal instalments. We believe this single fact to be worth volumes of argument, in shewing that the French'people, or at least their monied interests, are doubtful of the stability of the arrangement recently concluded between the Hayden President and the French Government. There can be no doubt of it, when their own 3 per cents. are at such a price as to yield only 4-1 per cent. for money. The Bombay Gazette of the 6th of July, contains a paragraph, stating that the division of the Bristish . Army in Arracan, under the command of General MORRISON, was suffering very severely, according to the latest accounts, from sickness. One of the Regi- ments, it is added, had been reduced by :kik:less and death from 1,200 strong to 550, while most of those not in the hospitals had miserably fallen off in bodily strength and appearance. The 49th Regiment was said to hare only two companies of effective men. The Calcutta paper contains no further nips from the s eat of war. A private letter from Madrid of the 27th tilt. states, that it had been proposed to supersede the Duke DE L'INFANTADO as Minister, and appoint the Duke of Sa,tt CARLOS in his stead ; but it was objected by the Apostolic Junta, that the latter had resided so long in Paris that he had imbibed the principles and politics of the French Ministry. The desertions from the garrisons in various parts of Spain are said to be very great. In Galicia several arrests had taken place. Private letters from St. Petersburgh state, that the Emperor ALEXANDER will return to St. Petersburgh about the middle of Nsvember, his presence bein g necessary in some important diplomatic concerns: his IVlA.turr for the present will not inspect the Canton ments of the Dnieper and those of Bessarabia, but leave it to some future period, when he will proceed to his Southern States. I Lisbon Gazettes from the 21st to the 30th ult. reached us this forenoon. They contain no political news re lative to Portugal, or its colonies. The following is the only article worth quoting r LISBON, OCT. 25. His Majesty having honoured with his approbation a plan laid before him by Sir John Milley Doyle, for making a new road from Villa Nova da Rainha to Cal das and Obidos, which is to be managed by a Company, a Committee was appointed by the shareholders to draw up a table of the tolls which they should judge necessary to afford a sufficient remuneration for the trouble and expense. This has been laid before his Majesty, and approved. It is calculated that the Share holders will receive ten and a quarter per cent. after paying all the expenses. Frankfort Papers to the 4th instant reached us this forenoon. The following are extracts : CARLSRUHR, NoYw■ga 1. It is well known that differences have long subsisted between the possessors of the ancient Palatinate of the Rhine, on the right bank of that river, and the Crown of Bavaria, with respect to the obligation of taking on themselves the debt of the Palatinate, designated by the tide D. The Court of Appeal of the king dom of Hanover, sitting at Celle, having been chosen to decide this question, gave, on the 28th of October, in the name and by the authority of the German Diet, its decision on this question, to the effect that the possessors of the ancient Palatinate of the Rhine, on the tight busk of that river, shall pay two-fifths of the debt, and the Crown of Bavaria three fifths. FRANKFORT, Novntsza 3. The Gazette of Athens, which sse have received to the 6th September, gives under the head of Napoli, 17th August, the following description, which is strange enough, of the manner in which the Greeks got pos session of the fort of Gravosa, (Garabusa) in the isle of Candia : " Captain Marcellesi has artived this evening from Gravota, and brings the happy news that our people have made themselves masters of that fort in the fol. lowing manner. On their at rival they found the Tut ks Asleep out of the fort ; these being taken prisoners, were obliged to conduct the Greeks to the tent in which the Governor was. The Greeks forced him to give the usual signal to notify that he would enter the fort, and that the Turks who were in it should come out. This signal was a pistol shot. In consequence, the Turks marched out of the fort on one side, and the Greeks entered it on the other, and made themselves entirely masters of it. They found in it 17 brass cannon, seven iron ditto, a quantity of cartridges, 1000 muskets, 400 bushels of corn, and a little rice." We haze received the French Papers to the 9th inst. and the k toile of Wednesday. Their contents possess but little importance. Communications from Constan tinople, received through Germany, state that the Russian Charge d'Affaires, M. MINZIACICI, had had much difficulty to calm the anxiety and alarm of the Reis Effendi and of the members •f the Divan, when they learned by dispatches from the Hospodar of Mol davia, that the Emperor ALIMANDSR was on his way to visit the coasts of the Black Sea, and afterwards to re view the Russian Army of the Sonth, as well as the division in Bessarabia, under General SABANIM. The Monileur publishes three Royal Ordonnances, appointing the Marquis of Hanouvrwe, Count de Wog, and M. FRINILLY, members of the Commission for the liquidation of the Indemnity, in the room of other members, who withdrew under the plea of illness. The l i [dolls contradicts the assertions of the Quotidienne. !that a fleet wit arming at Brest, gild that two Regime is were raising for the service of the Fteach Colonies. Accounts from Lima have been received of so recent a date as the 15th of July. It appears that General ko• Dm, the Governor of Callao, finding himself no longer :n a conditios to continue the defence of the fortress with any probability of success, made the follow ing proposal to surrender on the •27th of June: ll CALLAO, Join 27, 1825. " The garrison of Callao is willing to capitulate with the General commanding the Colombian and Brazilian forces, on condition that the troops are allowed to march out with the honours of war► and retain their present possessions in money and goods ; to be per- mitted to enjoy an uninterruped personal freedom ; to he shipped to Europe with u little delay as possible ; on this condition General Rom, commanding the garrison on behalf of the King of SPAIN consents to give up possession of the fortress. (Signed) RODI L." Thil plcirtosal was immediately forwarded to General SUCRE, who was at Potosi with a considerable detach ment of the Colombian army, and after tome delay, it was, it is said, decidedly negatived—it being considered that, from the state of the garrison, both as it regarded the want of supplies, and the sickly state of the men, an unconditional surrender must take place in the course of a few weeks. ~.~ FOREIGN FUNDS AND SHARE LIST.

An assembly of the House of Representatives of the Eastern province of the Rio de la Piata, usually called the Banda Oriental, took place in the city of Florida, on the 26th of Mpg, when a solemn declaration was made of the iode pendence of that part of South America. The principal clause in this document is expressed in energet:c lan guage; it declares to be ae void, dissolved, and of re value for ever, all the acts of incorporation, acknow ledgment, and oaths of allegiance, wrung from the pe ple of the Banda Oriental by tl:e force, combined with treachery, of the usurping states of Portugal and Brat, who have tyrannized over it, and seized of inaliera• ble rights, and brought it under the yoke of firi absolute despotism from the year 1817 to the present time No events of moment had occurred relative to the CO?• test in Monte-Video, but some slight advantages in skirmishing had been gained over the Imperialists, aoi the cause of independence seems to be acquiring stability. Letters frrom Port-au-Prince, dated the 17th of Sl ( ' state, that two Commissioners had been named the President BOYER to proceed to England, for the pg• pose of negotiating here a loan, for the payment of the French claims. From this it would appear, either that the Commissioners sent to France had not been invented with full powers for that purpose, or that doubts were entertained of the practicability of raising the owe,' that country.
