Many who *tot on ow pose to see him, were disappointed. THE GREENWICH MURDERERS.- After the conviction of Webster, private information was forwarded to the Magistrates, that Robert Smith. • the murderer, his brother James, and his father, had taken a passage :to Bombay, in the Mary Ann, Free • trader, Caput% Craig. On the receipt of this comma • ideation, Farmer, an active officer of Greenwich, was :dispatched after the Mary Ann to the Downs. He was prepared with the necessary documents, and letters to Captain M'Culloch, of the Preventive Service at Deal. He arrived at Deal about twelve o'clock on the night of Saturday week, and in the morning had an iater view with Captain M'Culloch, who ordered a cutter to be got ready, which Was manned by six able' men be- longing to the Ramillies, ands Farmer putout towards the Mary Ann, which was at'anchor in the Downs.-- The cutter bad scarcely left the bead), when she was met by a heavy sea, and was turned dearly keel up- 1 wards, but the crew escaped, ,and the cutter was carried by the surge' seven_ miles below the South Foreland. —Captain M.Ciilloch being of opinion that the Mary Ann was moored in , the trowns for the night, it was re= solved to make another attempt to reach her in the morning. and at three o'clock, Farmer and the six men attempted to launch the cutter, but die sot Crooning so high, the boat was overturned, and it was found impos; sible to put to Se.l. The pursuit was therefore deterred till day-light, and it was thenfound the. Mary - Ann had got under weigh. Captain M'Cufloch, finding it impos sible, liom the impetuosity of the waves, for the boat to be put to sea, ordered the brig Industry to he cot ready to pursue the Mary Ann, and in less than ten minutes she was under sail, but it was coaisideied that she had got nearly a hundred miles down Channel, the wind blowing hard in her favour, therefare it would be . useless to follow . her. Farmer then returned to London, • arid soon after - a telegraphic dispatch was received at the Admiralty, that the Mary Ann was obliged, from contrary winds, to put into Portsmouth. The corrimu. Motion was forwarded to the Magistrates of Green wich, and Farmer set out within ten minutes after its arrival for Portsmouth. Oa Ins reaching his destina tion, he had an interview with the Port Admiral, who 'tinkled the Isaac belonging to the Princess Charlotte to ke got ready, and Farmer was put off to the Mary Ann, at the moment she was getting under weigh at the Isle of Wight. On getting on hoard, the officer was intro 4!aced to Captain Craig, to a horn he communicated his mission, and all the ship ° s crew and passengers mere piped on deck; when Farmer, who was well acquainted • with the Smiths, inspected them all, but unfortunately the pursuit turned put unsuccessful, as neither of them were on board. It is therefore beyond a doubt, that the +Wort-nation emanatedfrom Smith himself, in older, to. . nod the officer upon a wrong scent, to give him and his father and brother an opportunity of escaping to America, whither it is supposed they have emigrated.

Captain* Cuosse has been made a Commodore. COCH RA ?lied correspood. ence relating to his operations in Maranhain and Para, had been published. In it he avows that he had no in structions to go to the two latter places; but, he adds, having followed the 'Portuguese fleet that evacuated Bahia to a very great distance, and being alone, and without an adequate force to attack them, he deemed it most expediebt to give up the chase, and undertake an enterprise which he was convinced was conducive to the interests of the Brazils,• trusting that his success would secure the approbation of the Government. Pie gives a long account 'of the contributions he had levied, the manner in which he had organized the- new Go vernment, and provided-for its defence and future ad hesion to the Emperor. He then announces his inten tion of shortly returning to Rio, when he would bring with him the banners he had taken. Letters ftom Bilboa give a melancholy picture of the state of that plice. As soon as the late change of Mi uisters-was known there, the fanatics went howling about the streets, proclaiming their abhorrence of the measure, and declaring they could trust no one, except clergy- Teen, near the throne. Meeting two persons in the :wets, known to be Liberals, they immediately put them to death, to-satisfy their own thirst for vengeance.
