1 I unable so give movemeise the machine of this Go wernaseqt. divested himosertilf his authority before the Senate i but having Shalt An this body would not fe. ceive%bis resignation, he declared to them that he would retain the command of the military force, as the oldest General of the RepubliC. In these circumstances, the Senate, being under the necessity of coming to some. resolution, called into their presence the Ministers of State, and required them to request of the Director a detailed statement of the articles which, in his opinion, impeded the exercise of his authority, in order that they might proceed to reformer to suspend them. The Mi nisters resisted this cakdeclaring that in the opinion of the Government no reform of the Constitution could take place, for that the whole of it was radically wrong. " The Senate being embarrassed with this discussion, and unable to come to any definitive resolution, a pall of the people met in the Sala Capita:4r, to take such measures as the case required. Phis latter body pro ceeded in fact to appoint a' Governoi, and the choice fell on Fuentecilla, who immediately published an order, convoking the people to the Sold Capitatar. About 200 of them having assembled, General Freye ,was de clared Director of the State by acclamation. At the same time it was resolved, that the Constitution sanc tioned in 1823 shotild be abrogated; that the Senate should be abolished, and that a Cotnmission should be appointed to revise the Constitution of 1818. After these steps were taken, the tranquillity of the people of Chile returned to its former state, and nothing gave any reason to fear that it would be again inter' opted." MEXICO. " New YORI, OCT. S. " It appears from Mexican Papers of the 14th of August, that the Legislatures of the different States had presented addresses of congratulation to the general Government, on the prompt execution of Iturbide—an event, which is jtistly considered as a final blow to all the hopes of the enemies of liberty in that country. The utmost unanimity prevailed as to the excellence of Constitutional liberty, and the detestation of the prin ciples of the Holy Alliance,' whose sole object is • the' degradation, of the human species, that tyrants only may sway the universe. The nomination of Don Pablo Obregor as Ambassador to the United States was con firmed by the Supreme Congress on the 4th of August. This body was occupied with the provisiOns of the new Constitution, and other matters calculated to consolidate the iudependence and prosperity of the Mexican people:. Pr' isitAzlL. His Majesty's ship Brazen arrived at Spitheas on Sunday morning. She left Rio de Janeiro on the 24th of August, Bahia on the 17th of September, and Per nambuco on the 21st of September, and brings intelli gence that Pernambuco surrendered to the Brazilian Imperial Army, commanded by general Lima, on the 17th of September, aided by a small squadron of two frigates and three brigs, under the•command of Com modore Juett. General Carvalho had previously escaped to the Tweed British man of war, under an excuse that he wanted to capitulate with Lord Cochrane. His Lord+ ship was not present at the surrender : he had been obliged to give up his bombardment in consequence of the crazy state of his mortar vessels, and had gone to Bahia for better working•tools, as he jocularly called them. During his absence, Commodore Juett dashed alongside the wharfs of the town, and compered the Liberal party to hasten their surrender: the blockade was of course immediately raised, and Pernambuco opened for the vessels of all nations. The Republican party of the northern provinces of Brazil were much subdued in their tone by the surrender of Pernambuco. In order to keep Lord Cochrane in good humour, and to enable him to equip h;s squadron for the operations against Pernambuco, the Emperor bad given to him and his seamen 500,000 dollars. The Spartiate, of 74 guns, and Eclair, of 18 guns, British men of war, were at Rio de Janeiro : the Briton frigate, Captain Sir Murray Maxwell, was gone to the Pacific, from which sea the Aurora frigate, Captain Prescott, and Fly, 26 guns, Captain Martin, were daily expected ; the former with 2,500,08 b dollars, and the latter with 1,500,000 dollars on board, for England, with which they would proceed immediately. Nothing had. been heard of the Spanish line-of-battle ship the Asia, since her departure from Falkland Islands in February last, and it was confidently reported, and believed, that she was lo,t. The Rio Janeiro Diario, of / the 23d, contains the following decree : " Willing to yield to the representations of the British Government. I have thought proper to dismiss from the service of the National and Imperial Navy, Captain John Taylor, commending him highly for the great zeal and intelligence which he has displayed in all the commissions with which he has been intrusted. My Supreme Military Council will hold itself bound to ob seive and cause to be executed this decree. •' Palace of Rio &Janeiro, August 7, 1824. Tined) s• THE EMPEROR. (Conntenigned) N FRANCISCO VILLELA BORBOZA." We observe by the file of papert before us, that the elections-far members to the new Legislature are going on with great order and reasonable dispatch. Etn btaies sent from Pernambuco before its surrender, to revolutionize Bahia, had been there taken prisoners.. We observe in the Diario of the 12th of August, .that the 9th of the same month was a brilliant day for the Court of Brazil. On that day took place the solem pity of the baptism of an Imperial Princess, born the .2d; and the Emperor Don Pedro made as many pro motions, civil, judicial, military, and naval, as any Po tentate of Europe would have done on a similar occa sion. We find that no less that fifty Knights were added to the Order of Ch► ist, and a proportionate number of Grand Crosses, Officers, and Knights, to the Order of the Cross. Among the Officers of the latter Order, we find the name of the identical Captain John Taylor,whe was dismissed the Brazilian service two days before. EXTRACT OP A LETTER, DATEDPERNAMEOCO, SEPT. 20. - '• We have great satisfaction in stating, that the Im perial authority was fully reestablished here yesterday, and the faction which had is long ruled and distracted this Province was completely defeated and broken up. Our situation for the last week was a most painful and perilous one ; the tows was repeatedly bombarded by the-Imperial squadron, and many of the shops and pn vate houses were robbed and plundered. One Eng lishman has been plundered to the extent of from 4,0001. toAWOL The attack yesterday was a com bined one from the fleet and army; the latter had pos session of St. Antonio and Boa Vista, so far back as Sunday last, but General Linn not thinking himself in sufficient lot ce, delayed attacking the Recife until as above stated, whiCh is much to be lamented, as during this interval it was that Carvalho's troops had the op portunity of plunder.

However, we hope they will do so before are former sails' foo Eng land. The latter refused to receive on board two or three Englishmen, who fled to him for protection, on the plea that he cpuld not receive any without a breach of neutrality ; and yet in the face of this, he receives on board the very person who has been the cause of so much bloodshed, and one who has been a bitter enemy to the English, to whom he has done much injury in I their trade. Such condact is certainly a breach of neu trality, aad will, we hope, be looked into at home." The &pea Gazette of the 29th of August quote; letters from Guayaquil of the 14th of July, and from Truzillo of the 30th of June, which state, that on the 17th of June, Bolivar marched from Cajatambo; that on the 25th he would be in Guanuce ; aid by the Bth or 10th of July at Jauga, where Canteiac was posted with his troops, and where he proposed to give him battle, unless the enemy declined the conflict. The column of troops which sailed from Guayaquil, among whom was the battalion Zulia, were to disembark at Stye, with orders to march on Lima and Callao, while Admiral Guise, with the Prueba, the Vijia, the Mace donia, and the Congresso, cut off the communication by sea between the castles and the city-. CORSICA -.....- ?ROM THE MONITEIIit. AJACCIO, OCTOBER J. The Session of the Council-General of our Depart ment, opened the 21st of last month. Count Lantioy, our new Prefect, in the first sitting, delivered a discoirrle of which we will quote the most remarkable passages. The Count observes, that " having been only three months in the country, he, of course, must wait till a longer residence shall have made him better ac quainted with it before he can propose any ameliora tions or innovations, and that for the present Session he shall content himself with asking a prohibition to carry arms—a prohibition, the utility of which he says has never been doubted by prudent persons, forcing from the hands of men, who feel the influence of their burn ing climate, the deadly weapons which they never lay aside; the most trifling altercations will cease to be Iran:- formed into bloody affrays, and the inveterate hatreds( families being no longer fed by reciprocal acts of ven geance, will begradually appeased, and become extinct. " Thanks to the activity of my predecessor—to the public force, the number of persons who have fled from justice, who infested Corsica, has considerably dimi nished. There was still one obstacle to their entire de struction : if they were too closely pursued, they got on board a ship which conveyed them in a few days to the coast of Sardinia, where they waited for a favourable opportunity to come and recommence in this depart ment the course of their robberies and crimes. This last resource has been taken from them. At my requisition, made by virtue of existing Conventions wbich had fallen into oblivion, the Genoese Government has determined 'on giving up those Corsican malefactors who take re fuge in the dominions of that Power; and the recent example of Sarocchi, one of their most celebrated Chiefs, taken by the Sardinian gendarme,, will teach them that henceforward their only alternative is elis s , cant exile or the capital. " Yes, Gentlemen, the progress of Corsica in the career of civilization cannot be overlooked ; crimes daily become more rare; education, diffusing in the country its salutary influence, is preparing a generation which will love order and labour; even manufactures seem to be improving in a certain degree. We will not forget, Gentlemen, to give to the regenerating power, the first author of these benefits, the expression of our grati tude; twofold experience has convinced you that your destiny is invariably involved in that of the august family that governs us; the absence of the Bourbons was a death-blow to this interesting Island ; their pre sence, which awakens the finest recollections, re-ani mates and vivifies it, and seems destined to raise it a second time from its ruins."

This forenoon we received the Allgemeine Zeitung, to the 25th ultimo, and the Austrian Observer, to the 19th ultimo. It is stated, in an article from Trieste, in the former, that there had been another battle between the Greek and Ottoman fleets, in which the latter was again defeated. The engagement took place on the 25th of September, between Patmos and Samos. The Greeks, in these several engagements, are said to have taken prisoners, IBRAHIM PACHA, SOS of the Vice- .• • • 'C • roy of Egypt,:and the Vice•AAmiral IsMAIL G 111111.• TAa, whose ransom may recruit the Greek treasury. It is, indeed, said to have olreaky received an accession of eight millions of piastres, taken from the Turks in the late battles, in which nearly a hundred Turkish ships are said to have been taken or destroyed. The follow ing are extracts : TRIESTE, OCTOBER 14. A vessel which his arrived in nine days from Tchesme, brings the news, that on the 25th September the Turkish and Egyptian fleets had another engagement with the Greeks, between Patmos and Samos, in which the former was again defeated, and fled to Mytilene.— The whole Ottoman fleet consisted at that time of only 35 sail, which were encountered by 24 Greek ships. All the Egyptian transports were either left at Boudroun, or had been taken by the Greeks. Private letters from Corfu, of 27th September, say, that Ibrahim Pacha, son of the Viceroy, and Commander of the Egyptian exre dition, the well-known Vice-Admiral Ismael Gibraltar and a Renegado, who bore the name of Pacha (formerly Aid•de-Camp to General Grouchy), who had directed for some years the Military affairs of the Viceroy, toge ther with eight millions in ready money, taken in the late engagements, had been brought by the Greeks to Napoli di Romania. _ ANCONA, OCTOBER 8. The following letter has been received here, and I communicate at to you without being able to warrant the truth of its contents: a Co2nr, SRPTIMIIIit 27. " News has been received, by Way of Ithaca, Zante, and Cephalodia, that there have been great festivities in the !Worm on atcount of chi !Mitt destruction of the fleets from Alexandria and Constantinople. The Greek heroes have already fought three battles with the Bar barians. After hiving, in the preceding actions off Rhodes, C s, and the coast of daramania, burnt, taken, 'or sunk, nearly a hundred large and small vessels, they at length succeeded in setting fite to Mehmed Ali's last and finest fiigate. "On board this frigate were the son of Mehmed AU, Admiral Ismael Gibraltar, and a Pacha, by extraction a Frenchman, who had apostatise) to • Islabometanism; In their attempt to escape from the fire into another ship, they got among the boats of the Greeks, which, ,on such occasions, are always at hand to make prisoners, IThus they took the nephew of the Bey of Tunis, near Samos). On this occasion they took Ibrahim Pacha, the Admiral, and the French Pacha, Who, with a frigate, a corvette, and a vessel which had on board eight mil. lions of Turkish piastres, were brought in triumph to Napoli di Romania In the second action, near Rhodes, the Greeks took thirty-two transports, partly of the Turkish, partly of the Egyptian fleet. In a preceding column we have given a mass of in telligence from almost every part of South America, all of which is irk favour of the independence of the New States. The great contest is in Peruos here BOLIVAR is said to have defeated CANTERAC. This statement is corroborated by letters from Bogota in the National Gazette of the sth ult. received this morning, which also states that General CORDOVA, of the Colombian army, was killed. The accounts from Brazil confirm the submission of Pernambuco, as stated in the STAR of yesterday. This event took place on the 17th of September. Letters from Sullivan's Island, of the 24th September, repro. sent that place as in a deplorable condition, owing to the ravages of the yellow fever. The inhabitants were removing to Charleston for safety. Letters from Carthagena of the 14th and 17th, also state that BOLIVAR has defeated CANTERAC; but the New York Gazette of the Bth ult. gives a report that BOLIVAR had been defeated; this is thought to be a mistake. In noticing the case of Mr. FAUNTLEROY, on Satur- day; we gave what appeared to us the most rational way of accounting for the large sums withdrawn from the public funds by this Gentleman. We did not, of course, take into. consideration what Mr. F. states, that ' the money was thrown into the firm to support the cre dit of the house, nor shall we now stop to inquire how far this was the case, as it is a point which the bankrupts will no doubt be called on to explain to their creditors, if not to the Bank of England. It is evident, as we stated, that a large portion of the money received by the late forgeries went to pay the dividends of former ones; and we also alluded to the probability that the wretched delinquent was sometimes obliged to replace the stock, which, if any time elapsed, would have increased considerably in price. Our con jecture as to the replacing of stock we find is true. In the . list: of powers of attorney forged by Mr. Fauwmanny, and produced on his trial, the names of PETER MOORE and JOHN MARSH, appear, for £21,100 Three per Cents. This sum, if actually withdrawn by Mr. FAUNTLIROY, there is no cause to doubt was re 'placed, as appears by a letter from Mr. P. Mower, in the Herald of this morning, in which he states, that the money was accurately accounted for, and punc tually paid by Messrs.Mansn and Co. and further, that —" The fund, origina4 small, had, for a series of years, been nursed and managed by these bankers, who ho nourably ani faithfully accounted to the executors for principal and interest, on all the half-yearly accumulations credited in dividends of the Bank of . England, to the important amount, as well as I recollect, if £24,000 and upwards." Here then is one case, in which, although a forgery was committed, yet the money was restored ; and we are far from thinking it the only one. It is probable, indeed, that extensive as the forgeries were, they, of late years, were almost wholly absorbed in payiag.the dividends of former forgeries, aid sometimes re 'placing the Stocic, at an advanced rate, is order to pr e , vent detection. To the Bank of England, the time that has elaps e d since the forgeries were committed, makes the loss c ot , siderably heavier than k would have been, on account of the great rise in the public funds. The case of Nl 's% YOUNG will spew this. It appeared in evidence un th e trial, that the 5,4501. Three per Cents. which stood i n her name, when sold out by a forged power of attorney, in 1815, produced 2,9561. ss. The same amount or stock, when replaced on the 22d of October, 1824, co st 4,8121. 10s.; here then is an increase in the value et 5,4501. stock of 1,8561.55. The amount of forgeries, according to Mr. FAUNTI:-. ROT . S own list, previous to the year 1816, was 170,(, In that year the 3 per Centc. averaged about 62 or 64.._ they are now upwards of 96, 'at which price the st, x k will have to be replaced. It is said, however, that the Bank of England will Tut in a claim to prove as a g.. neral creditor to a certain amount, on the alleg e d ground that the firm of MARSH and Co. has received the money ; this will involve a point of law which wi:l not so easily be determined. Without insisting on the truth of Mr. FAUNTLEROVS assertion, that the produce of his forgeries " went to the geueral funds of the banking-house," and that long as they %k ere provided, and the credit of the house supported, no inquiries were made, either as to the manner in which they were procured, or as to tile sources whence they were derived." We say, without insisting on the absolute truth of this statement, these is enough to chew that the other partners mu.t have been excessively careless about their afrairs, when the youngest partner could be able, for a long series'of years, to commit forgeries, and to manage all the entries, and other arrangemeats which they must oc casion, without suspicion. Some explanation on this point will, no doubt, be called for by the Public, if Ms FA UNTLEUOY'S defence does not elicit it, which, we • • think, it ought to do. THE KING.
