effect his threat of destroying the harbour, a circum stance which, by preventing access to the town, would effectually prove the ruin of Pernambuco. Consideraile uneasiness is felt by the merchants here connected with Pernambuco, for the safety of their correspondents and property within the place, from which they had no , possibility of personal escape, even if dis p osed to I abandon the property committed to their care, and which remained exposed to all the destructive effects of the bombardment. The following is an extract of a letter, dated in Per nambuco on the 19th August, and received by an emi nent mercantile establishment*:---" We are in hopes to be able soon - to advise the restoration of tranquillity here, as Lord Cochrane, in the Don 'Pedro Primeiro line-of battle ship, arrived yesterday, and we understand his Lordship has landed troops to the southward. What his intentions are, we *now not, but active measures will, no doubt, be resorted to. The annexed letter was yesterday addressed by hint to the British Consul. We cannot for a moment suppose he will put his threats into execution, with regard to the filling up the harbour, and vie are at a loss to conceive his meaning," &c. (COPY). 4, In pursuance of the commands of his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of Brazil, to adopt the most speedy and effectual means for terminating the anarchy which exists in the Northern Pro vincesi mid considering Pernambuco as the source and eentte of the evil, it is my intention to ell up the entrance of the part of Pernambuco, by means of sinking and blowing up vessels laden with stones. Etc. and I give you information thereof, in order that you may take such immediate steps with regard to British vessels as you shall judge proper. Is COCHRANE E MARANIIAO. " Often on board the Imperial Brazilian ship the Pedro Primeiro, 18th Assent, 1824." The following is extracted from another letter, of the same date, from Pernambuco, and on the same subject : " We have merely to hand a copy of what we wrote you the 15th, and as yet cannot advise any political change in the place. Lord Cochrane, in a line of battle ship, came off the harbour yesterday, which caused con siderable alum amongst the Republican party, who were under arms the greater part of last night, in ex pectation ofilis Lordship landing forces to take possession of the forts. He has communicated to the different Con suls that, by order of his Imperial Majesty, he will proceed to destroy the port by sinking vessels loaded with stones at the different entrances; but we cannot suppose he will be guilty of such an act of madness. He has ordered the packet that arrived from Falmouth last night to proceed this afternoon, and after to-day, no vessel to enter or le.ive the port. We have sonic hopes of seeing a speedy termination to the troubles of the pro vince, as we are informed that he landed troops to the southward or northward, we cannot ascertain which.— In business, nothing whatever doing," &c. &c.

I A New Yoi k Paper, ( The American) of a late date, contains the following letter which it will be seen is much at variance with the preceding accounts from South America, relative to the defection of OLANSTA. Private letters from Bogota assert that he had joined the Independent cause with all his division; and the Conatitueional of Bogota, quoted in the STAR of yester day, entertains no doubt of the fact, 4 , since it is pub lished by the Spaniards themselves." The evidence is, however, by no means conclusive; for . if OLANZTA has quitted the Royalist cause, he appears to have joined the independent at my of Buenos Ayres. We subjoin the letter, without however attaching more credit to it than the previous accounts, from which it is so much at variance. Indeed, some of the statements carry their own refutation : LETTER IN THE NEW YORK AMERICAN. " GENTLEMEN—Id the Evening Post of Tuesday last, there was an article, said to be news from Peru, by the way of Chagres, stating that General Olaneta, from some private pique, had declared for the Patriots, and that the head-quarters of General Bolivar was at Jauja. That the public may no longer be imposed on by such fabrications, it may be proper to state, that the differ ences among the Spanish Generals, to which the Patriots attach so much importance, were settled in April last They had their origin in General Olaneta precipitately declaring for the absolute King and not for the Patriots, whom he detests, as has been stated in our public prints. This difference was settled by the Viceroy's Proclama tion, re-establishing the ancient Government in Peru. At that time Generals Valdez and Olaneta bad an in terview at a village near Desaguadero they separated amicably, and the latter returned to his command at Potosi : his force never exceeded 2,000 men, whilst that of the South, under Valdez, ready to overwhelm him, amounted to 10,000 men. " Bolivar was at Truzillo in May, with a force net exceeding 6,000 men, surrounded by a hostile popula tion : should all his expected reinforcements have joined 'him, which is rather problematical, his whole force,' even in July, would not exceed 10,000 men. General Canterac moved from Jauja early in April to attack him with a veteran army, the conquerors of Ica Mo gvegnis and Zepita, amounting to 9,000 infantry and 4,000 cavalry : he would be followed by the army of the South, amounting, as I havealready stated, tolo,ooo men. " That General Bolivar could have penetrated to Jauja, as stated in the Diming Post, is utterly impossi ble. For these last three years victory has crowned the arms of the Viceroy in every battle. It argues a total ignorance of the political state of Peru, in any one to suppose that General Canterac would tamely surrender the fruitful province of Jauja under, circumstances I have stated. 4 1 Notwithstanding the news from Peru, by the letters from Chagres, it is a fact that the Royal Government is more firmly established in that country at this moment, than it was for years previous to the revolution; and in stead of Gen. Bolivar acting on the offensive, I think it altogether more likely he is at this moment flying be fore the united armies of Canterac and Valdez." In another column ,Ae have giien some intelligence relating to Lord CeCIIRANE ' S operations in Brazil, and we now subjoin a private letter of a much later date, brought by the Eliza, which arrived at Liver pool on Wednesday, from Maranham. We copy it from the Liverpool Advertiser of Thursday : MARANIIAM, Sur. 10, 1894. St ft—Thinking the past transactions in Pernam. buco and this place may be of interest to you, I send you the following information respecting the teal state of affairs there, 'and the latest intelligence from Per nambuco:—The Emperor, in consequence of Comm dore Taylor raising the siege of Pernambuco, has taken the matter in hand himself, and has ordered Lord Cochrane to proceed thither, with a squadron and sol diers, to reduce the place; which entered Pernambuco on the 27th ult. having previously landed the soldiers on the coast to proceed to Pernambuco, so that they are beset both by land and sea. " Lord Cochrane commenced operations OA the 2d inst. in consequence of the Pernambucans not having come to an arrangement with him during the three days that were granted them. He enters every night to bombard the place, and retires out of the hat bour in the morning, from which it seems that he is afraid of the forts, which are very strong, and if manned by Englishmen, might keep him at a reasonable distance. Of conrse all trade is quite at a stand. The general opinion is that Per. nambuco cannot hold out long against the force that Lord Cochrane has brought against it, as it has not provisions for more than 60 days. This was brought by a bug from that port to-day. \Ve are in a similar dilemma here, in consequence of a party having formed in the country to depose the President and present Government : they have had the audacity to come ss ithin pistol slut of the cannon mouths ; and, on the night when a general attack was to have been made on the town, they suddenly decamped, but from what cause remains unknown; it is reported to be a misunderstanding between the Officers, and that when the hour came there was neither Officers nor com mander on the spot. " They still continue to stop provisions and produce from coming down here, to the great annoyance of the merchants ; and cotton is now so scarce, that there is not 300 bags in the town. We have been without fresh meat for three weeks; and fowls are now so dear, that they are sold at Gs. a head. Where this will end no one knows ; and up to this date, affairs wear a most unpro mising aspect. For some time past, business has been as dull as bai times would make it, and a kind of dis trust prevails among the Portuguese, which will take much time to dispel." Hamburg]] Papers to the 15th inst. reached us this forenoon. The following is the only political article they contain:— _ _ FROM THE VAINE, OCTOBER 4. Among the persons who are accused of being con cerned in intrigues to overthrow the present order of things, a Major is mentioned, Governor of the Citadel of Ei furth. We learn that several persons hare been arrested at Stutgardt, suspected of revolutionary intrigues._ Among them is M. Kessler, formerly Member of the Assembly of the States, a Deputy (List) lately returned from Stras burg; M. Liesching, formerly Editor of the German Me) ver, and several civil officers and lawyers. Only ' one escaped in time. At the same time 10 Students have been arrested at Tubingen. One of our contemporaries denies that Sir FREW/RICK ADAM has visited the Greek Government, and states that the Proclamation was revoked on a requisition made through Captain NEWELL, of his Majesty's ship SYBILLE. It is, however, remarkable, that all the Fo reign Journals assert, and that most positively, that the LORD HIGH COMMISSIONER did proceed to Napoli di Romania. The Journal de Frankuirt of the 16th inst. received this morning, so states, and gives its own version of the supposed arrangement relative to Eu ropean ships engaged in the Turkish service ; and the Piedmontese Gazelle of the 12th instant, on the autho rity of letters from Corfu, speaks equally decisive as to this circumstance. Whatever difference of opinion there may be as to the individual on whose remonstrance the Greeks revoked their proclamation, there is no doubt that it has been revoked; not, however, as the Editor of a Morning Paper asserts, three days before Sir FREDERICK ADAM issued the retaliatory proclamation, but nine days after 'wards. All the accounts agree in stating, that the Greet proclamation was revoked on the 15th of Sep- tember. ana the proclamation of the Lord High 'Com mi►sioner was dated the 6th, though it was not acted upon, time being given for the Greek Government to render that measure unnecessary. _ The following are extracts from the Dutch, German, and Italian Papers received this morning:— VENICE, SEPTEMBER 30. A vessel has this moment arrived here, in fourteen days from Zante, and eight from Corfu, bringing posi tive intelligence that the Egyptian fleet has been de :toyed by the Greeks near Zea. It is partly burnt, partly taken, and the remainder is pursued in its flight by the Greeks. It is added, that General Adam, Lorp High Commissioner of the lonian Islands, has visited the theatre of war ; and that, on his return to Corfu, he had spoken with boundless admiration of the_ courage and address of the Greeks, who have exhibited a scene hitherto unknown in maritime warfare, that of setting fire to ships of war under sail in the open sea. Thus, then, the two great Byzantine and Egyptian fleets, con sisting of above 600 vessels, large and small, belonging to the Turks and their friends, are destroyed. We learn that, on the return of the Lord High Com missioner to the lonian Islands, orders have been issued by him to all English and lonian vessels, no more to serve the Turks. Henceforth the Greeks, if they meet with European ships under the Turkish flag, shall have a right to destroy them according to their Proclamation ; on the other hand, those which they may meet with in the Turkish service, under a European flag, shall be de clared confiscated, and the crews sent back. We•be lieve that this is the result of particular arrangements made with the Provisional Government of the Greeks. The Greeks received his Ercellency in the most bril- limit manner. On his arrival at Napoli di Romania, a salute of 101 guns was fired, and he was accompanied from the place of his landing to the Palace of the Go vernment, by 8,000 troops. The same honour was shew•n him at his departure. CORFU, SF.PTEMBER According to positive iiiiGrmation just received, the Decree by which the Greek Government at Napoli di Romania ordered the capture and confiscation of foreign vessels laden with Turkish property or for Turkish account, has been revoked by a decree of the 3d (15th) of September, before the proclamation issued by the British Government, on the 6th of this month, had been put in execution.—Journal de ktankfort, Oct. 16.: TURIN, OCTOBER 12. The Curfu Gazette announces the departure of Sir Frederick Adam, Lord lligh Commissioner, for the Southern IslAn.is ; and more recent letters from the same city, state that he has been at Napoli di Romania, to induce the Greek Government to revoke the mani festo issued by it against the Christian Powers, and that it was immediately revoked. When these letters came away, the Lord High Commissioner had re• turned to Corfu.— Piethnositese Gazette, Oct. 12. Nothing gives ow mote pleasure than to see national prejudices giving way to feelings of a friendly and ge nerous nature. A few years ago our modern Aristarchi would not allow America any claim to Literature, and even now there are politicians who sneer at the institutions and power of the United States. Nothing can be more impolitic or unjust, since there is a natural and indisso luble bond of union between England and North Ame rica, which, though it may be interrupted, can never be wholly broken off. We have been led to these re marks by the following liberal observations on this country, which appeared in a recent number of The New York Commercial Advertiser : " ENGLAND.—We were looking the other day at the map of Europe, and glancing our eye along the coast of that mighty continent, it rested on the little spot which Englishmen in their pride and security have denominated the gi fast-anchoted Isle." A few reflec tions, like the gliuming streaks of the morning, shot through our minds, and we looked in astonishment and admiration upon the little Isle, sc, insignificant in itself, and yet so large in the scale of nations. Our nation has been accustomed to frown upon Englishmen, and to detest their Government, and we do now some part of it. But the times of this ignorance and this enmity have passed away, and left the mind free to take in and to entertain without jealousy and without reproach the idea 01 the great resources, the extensive influence, physical, moral, and intellectual, which have secured everlasting fame to England and to Englishmen. In contemplating the wonders embodied in the character of the people, we overlook the dark spots in their his tory, and forget the errors and crimes of their Govern ment. We only see that England is our elder born— that her people speak the same language, profess the same faith, are governed by the same laws, and have the same interest ih the support and predominance of free institutions and of civil liberty. Look at her, girt within a little compass by the stormy ocean ; in size to the nations of the Continent like a drop in the bucket ; in climate, unpropitious; in soil, unfruitful; and yet her name is known, respected. and has its influence wherever cultivated men have penetrated the seas or the earth. There is a mental and moral influence, no less than physical, and, indeed, were it the latter only, the passage of a few ages would gradually obliterate her fame, instead of hallowing and adding to it. It is a mental superiority, it is the power of 'atm, it is the observation of the principles of eternal truth, which, more eminently than temporal power or extent of do minion, give prosperity to a nation and endless glory to her name." The following extract of a letter written by the Agent to l i loyd's at Cowes, contains some interesting particulars relative to the Pirates on the coast of Cuba' Who are represented as worse than the Algerines: 66 COWVO, Ont.22.—The Spring, (little), whic% vessel took out the Eit.teoperor 'turbid., has arrived here front the Havamtah, is s4 days. Captain Quelch reports, that his ship was rea d y to wit on the 41St of August, but was prevented until his Majestys schooner Speedwell /eve him convoy on the 58th, front the r eyttex of Captain Graham, of his Majesty's ship Icarus. He stated that it would be unsafe, on account of the numerous pirates on th e coast ; also that two piratical vessels, with 40 men each, had sail e d that night to intercept the icarus's boat. with only 40 men, * at was sent out to destroy a pirate laying at Cayo Blanca, when G„, gallant seamen came so suddenly on the pirate, that thcy were obliged to jump overboard ; and being so near the shore, they a g escaped except five men, who were instantly shot by the boat's cren. They took possession of the piratical schooner, with ten Of tWvIVt prizes belonging to her. Captain Quelch reports that Cyuai a Graham is deserving of great praise for his indefatigable 'unit', „, destroying the pirates, as the Spanish government and the Adm.t4l refused to give any assistance. The Island of Cuba is now uor. e than the Algerine coast." Halifax Papers have arrived to the 16th September, bait they contain ao news of consequence. THI: ARMY.
