It was on the 17th of this month that Ibrahim Bey, SOP of Mehemet Ali, the Viceroy of Egypt, and M. L—, calling himself Aide-de-Camp of Gen. Grouchy, who abjured Christianity for the religion of Mithomet, arrived at Napoli di Romania, where they are treated as prisoners of war. The Ottoman ships on board of which they were, had eight millions of Turkish piastres in gold and in paras. The joy of the Greeks is ex tieme. It was General Sir F. Adam. Lord High Com missioner, who repaired to Napoli di Romania, on board a ship of the line, attended by two British frigates. His Excellency was accompanied by his Lady, who, being a Greek by birth, a native of Corfu, and quite devoted to the cause of the Greeks, was able to serve as his in terpreter. A saluteof 101 guns announced their arrival, and the same number was returned to the standard of the Cross, which was solemnly recognized and pro. . claimed as the legitimate flag of regeuerated Greece, the name under which it was originally celebrated by M. Ponqueville in his history, which will be hencefor ward our national monument. After these reciprocal honours, it was agreed that the Greeks should restrict their proclamation, confining' themselves to seizing without being allowed to destroy or confi ca;e the vessels laden with troops or ammuni tion and provisions for the Turks; the captors being bound to pay the Captains the freights agreed upon with the Ottoman Government, or any of its agents. Sir Frederick, when we saw him on his return here, seemed much satisfied with the reception given him by the Greek Government of Napoli. OCTOBER I.—On the 23d of September, the Florida, Bregg, arrived here from London, with the third instal meat of the loan, amounting to 1,800,000 francs. SOUTH AMERICA. -016.-- EXTRACT FROM A LETTER, DATED SANTIAGO DE CHILE, JULY 19. " Letters from Lima state, that in consequence of the French corvette Diligente having captured the Quin tinella privateer, under the Spanish flag, the Royalist authorities in Peru deemed it proper to seize and con demn all French property in that quarter. The latest dates, from respectable merchants Te -1 siding at Arequipa, to his Britannic Majesty's Consul at Lima, state, that the Viceroy La Serna was daily ex• pected at that place, on his way to Spain, he having, from some cause not publicly known, resigned the Viceroyalty. Further, that the Spanish Generals Valdez, Fe, ras, &c. sere marching, with all their forces, against the Spanish General Olaneta, in consequence of the lat ter, who is in the neighbourhood of Potosi with a force of 3,500 men, having refused obedience to the King of Spain and the Viceroy of Peru. His principles are well known to be milt Constitutional ; and he was, it seems, induced to take this rash proceeding against his Most Catholic Majesty on receiving the news of his having been once more placed in absolute power. " There ate no tidings whatever of the Asia line-of battle ship, nor the Achilles brig of war that sailed in company with her. Admiral Guise is blockading Callao. Bolivar, it is stated, is at Jauja with 14,000 men, marching towards the enemy, who, it appears, are acting on the defensive. " A general action must soon take place. General Millar is close on Lima with 2,000 men, and is soon ex pected to enter that city. The Spanish Government had withdrawn themselves to Callao, at which place an attempt was made to cause a revolt, with a view to de liver the castles up to the Patriots, but which was un fortunately frustrated, and terminated in the execution of about 30 of the principals."

READING SAUCE T COCKS. the Inventor and Proprietor of the V • CELEBRATED READING SAUCE, begs most re spectfully to caution the Nobility, Families, and the Public, against the daily frauds and impositions i .oractised by many Lond..n and Country Oilmen and Fish Sauce Venders, to deceive and deprive them of the GENUINE READING SAUCE. None are genuine but those which have the corks sealed with the impression, " Cocks, Resoling i" and also the following descrip tion of the Sauce on an orange-coloured label, " Reading Sauce for Fish, enriching Gravies, &c. Prepared and Sold, Wholesale and Retail, by J. COCKS, Reading." 'lbis Sauce is generally used at table with all sorts of Fish, ha preference to all other Fisk Sauces, and is esteemed peculiarly deli cious with Game, Wild Fowl, Hashes, Steaks, and Cold Meat.— Warranted to keep good Seven Years in any climate. It is presumed that no Sauce ever met with such general approbation and extensive sale. It is patronised and recommended' by most of the FIIVIT F.►wt.tas in the Kingdom, and is retailed in London by 2.50 of the most respectable Oilmen and Fish Sauce Venders; in Bath, by 50 ; Bristol, 20 ; Edinburgh, Glasgow, Perth, and Aber deen, 50 ; and by nearly all the principal Fish Sauce Dealers in the United Kingdom, most of whom sell Coces's Genuine and Superior Es.sseca of Ascnoviss, made with prime Gorgon& Fish, rich as possible. LIMA, JUNE 11. By General Rodil's reglamanto de comn;ercio, dated on the Ist of May, we find he has been levying a duty of eight per cent. on some Americans who shipped dollars. We are afraid that the same will be demanded on dollars to ship on board his Majesty's ship Aurora ; and that the omissiod to state the duty on the exports , don of coin to foreign parts was on purpose that the Government may vary it, on different cccas►ons, as fie quently as they please. _ _ - His Majesty's ship Aurora returned from Pisco on the 7th inst. Admiral Guise,,stated that lie acted by order from his Government (Bolivar) in levying duties. In consequence of this, Captain Prescot wrote a letter to General Bolivar, stating, as w•e are told, that lie could not allow duties to be levied on English ships under such circumstances. The letter was forwarded by Lieu tenant Liddell, of the Aurora, in a boat. _ _ _ His Majesty's ship Cambridge, Captain 'Waling, ar rived at Callao on the Bth inst. bringing Thomas Row croft, E,q. the British Consul-General for Peru, and Passmore, Esq. Vice-Consul. As the Viceroy has refused to receive William Tudor, Esq. the Consul-Ge neral, of the United Stites of America, we expect the same course will be pursued in regard to Mr. Row croft. It is reported that the Viceroy has left Cuzco, arrived at Huamanga, and may be expected at Lima ere long. JUNE 16.—The Governments begin to be in want of money. Rodil has just laid a contribution on the prin cipal persons, Spaniards and Peruvians, in Lima, of 60,000 dollars, but nothing on the foreigners. We cannot judge, at present, what it will produce. The Robert Fuge sailed on the 12th, in ballast, taking two S i mnish Officers, one cf them named Nar vaez, of the r ank of Lieutenant-Colonel. It is supposed they are gone with dispatches of importance from the . Viceroy to the Spanish Government at Madrid. We expect the Spaniards will not remove their troops until the arrival the Asia, or some decisive intelligence respecting her. COLOMBIA. In our file of the Gaceta di Bogota, which goes to the 29th of August, we observe several decrees of Congress which are interesting, in as far . as they shew the rection ..hich the administration of public affairs in that country is taking. The following are among the most important :—All the internal duties under the titles of AlcaLala," " Latracion presunta," " Ave? is san La zaro," are repealed, and one single duty of alcabala, or excise ) of three per cent. is imposed in lieu of them. PRICE SEVEN-PENCE. Another decree provides for the establishment of armed vessels on the coast, to prevent smuggling. Ano ther apportions 300,000.slollars out of the last loan for the reraiting old and constructing new firtifications.— Anothey aboli•hes the NW by w hich foreigners wete compelled to consign their merchandize to a Colombian citizen. Another declares confiscated to the use bf the State all property of Spanish subjects. (The preceding Congress, it will be recollected, passed a decree of ex pulsion against all Spaniards). The United States, it appears, has communicated to the Colombian Govern ment its wish to receive the co-operation of the latter, for the more efFsctu tl abolition of the slave trade. The subject was before the Senate, for the purpose of con sidering the best means of affording this co-operation. On the subject of finance, there is a decree for the esta ..blish meta of a sinking fund, for ptoviding for the annual intereia and ptog:essive liquidation of the national debt. Another, on the subject of the tobacco duties, and a list of all bills drawn by the Government on its Minister here, in respect of the loan last contrkcted. There seems to be, in appearance at least, great openness in all the proceedings of the Government in money matters, every step they take being published in the official Gazette. All this is calculated to beget a national spit it. As soon as a people begin to watch the proceedings of their rulers, they imbibe that feeling by the temperate exercise or which the relative position of both is best preserved. FOREIG N T'R'ADE. Three additional Reports from the Committee of the House of Commons, presented at the close of the last Session, upon Foreign Trade, have been recently printed; they embrace as usual objects of great importance to the commercial and shipping interests. The subjects treated of are, the laws fixing the rates, establishing the regulations, and govet ning the system of pilotage generally ; the quarantine laws ; and the Port of London Duty. With respect to the first branch of inquiry, many im portant improvements have been sugge ted, and a scale of reduced rates and boarding money, more consistent with the existing state of navigation, recommended. It must be highly satisfactory to the shipping interests to observe, from the .concluding part of the first Report, the progress which has been made by the Trinity Cor poration and other public bodies, to carry into effect the remedial recommendations of the Committee. • Consi derable reductions have already taken place in the va rious and complicated rates under the management of the Elder Brethren ; many oppressive charges have been discontinued, others modified, and unnecessary bur ' thens upon shipping with& awn ; not with-tanding which additional relief may be expected, as will appear from the following extract of the Report in question " What has hitherto been effected, however, by the Corporation of the Trinity House, must rather be re ceived as an eurnest of• progressive reduction, and as 4 general pledge of the disposition of that boiy to satisfy the reasonable claims of the shipping interests, than of the real extent to which it is capable of being carried." Amongst other improvements, the removal of the col lection of the dues to an office in the Trinity Hone, has,upon the suggestion of the Committee, been adopted; means arether efore now afforded fur consolidating the receipt of the whole of the light, pilotage, harbour dupe, Scc. &c. into one office, at a diminished expense to the Public, and of introducing by degrees a system of sim plicity and incalculable convenience. The inquiry into the Quarantine Laws, &c. sit ill also be attended with most beneficial results; various judi cious regulations and alterations in the esi-ting forms and rules of quarantine have been suggested, by which `the trade from the Mediterranean will be relieved from unnecessary restraints; and in some instances from vex atious pratique, without in the slightest degree endan geing the safety of the public health. A repeal of the qoarantine duty is also recommended, the amount of which, although trifing in the aggregate, has been felt oppressive from its machinery, and unequal rate of charge, it appearing that a ton of stone, value only four pounds, is subject to eight shillings duty, whilst a ton of silk, of the value of two thousand pounds, is liable to only .seventeen shillings. We are therefore rejoiced to find that Bills will he brought in next Session, to carry these highly valuable suggeitiens into effect. The third head of inquiry, u d on which a distinct Re port, full of highly valu rble information, has been pre sented, is the London l'ort linty. It is to be lamented that the extent of debt with winch that fund is charge able, proceeding from advances made under the sanction of Parliament out of the Consolidated Fund, towards the improvement of the Port of London, renders the prospect of a liquidation under the terms of the Acts of ,Parliament perfectly hopeless, and has indeed precluded the Committee from suggesting means of removin g a burthen imposed upon the trade of the Porto: London, which has therefore assumed the character of a perma nent tax. Some alleviation may, however, he loiked for in the reduction of expenses, and the sale of the Canal. The Committee have recommended seer al alterations and improvements in the Port of London, and the ('weal Establishment: amongst these it has been suggested that the business now conducted by a separate Coo.- mittee of the Corporation of London at a considerable expense, may without disadvantage to the public service, be in future managed by the London Navigation Com mittee ; that the office of Surveyor to the mooring chains should be abolished, the Sopet intendant um, now conducts the practical part, if placed under the di rection of the Harbour Masters, being consisiered tun) , adequate to the duties ; and they further recommend it minute examination into the general expenditure, from which and a vigilant supervision the disbursements of the Port and Canal Establishments may be materially reduced, and the fund proportionably relieved. The sale of the Canal is also recommended, as being calculated to diminish the annual charge on the Port Duty Fund, its maintenance being attended with an expensive and an unprofitable estab►►shment. The West India Dock Company have applied to Government to purchase it, upon the plea that their works are not adequate to the accommodation required by the trade of the Port. It is uiirler %rood, in the event of the dia. pobal of the Canal being determined upon, that• this advantage of open cutu r etition in sate ssill be gireat to 'Y ,t t ' ?
