Our attentive correspondent of the New Orkeas Bee has furnished us with papers of that city to the 25th alt. inclusive. The schooner Monk, Capt. Nartigue, had just arrived from Tampico, which place she left on the 15th. She was not allowed to enter her cargo, and consequently returned with it. She brought 48,000 dollars in Specie, and 13 passengers. Provisions were very scarce in Tampico. The capture of Pueblo Viejo (old town) of Tampico on the 3d, was mentioned in the previous accounts. It appears that the Spaniards entered Tampico de las Tamaulipas on the 7th. The skirmish mentioned in the Vera Crux Papets, but without particulars, took place on a small hill, in the neighbourhood of Tampico, where the Mexicans had planted four pieces of cannon. The Mexicans, about 300 io Mather. after firing three or four times, were driven from their position at the point of the bayonet, leaving their guns, Site. to the enemy. The loss of the Spaniards, in killed and wounded, is stated at about 30, including a large proportion of 'Seers I that of the Mexicans about 15. Among the prisoners made by the Spa niards is the Colonel of Cavalry (Cortina), and an Adjutant of Col. Laguza. The Spaniards have commenced fortifying Tam pico, and it is said, they are assisted in their work by the Indians. It will be seen from what follows, that Gen. Baaradas has made the port of Tempi° free of duties for certain articles during the term of six months. • Don Isidore Barradas y Valdes Bazar].

" ISIDORE BARRADAK" Extract from the log-book of the schooner Monk : Auo. 4.—At daylight made sail for the Bar. At 'even saw several vessels to an anchor ; stood towards them. At eight we discovered a ship of the line, a frigate, and a hermaphrodite brig of war. At nine was boarded by two of the line•of-battle ship launches, having each a Lieutenant and 30 men, well armed. They ordered us to come to an anchor alongside of the Commo dore's ship, by his order, and informed us they had landed their troops. In nearing the Commodore's ship, we saw some firing front the Mexican fort ; shortly after we discovered the houses on shore actually in a blaze of fire, and heard an explosion of powder. After we came to anchor within cable's length of the Commodore's ship, Captain Nartigne was taken on board, with all his papers, to be examined by the Commodore, and was po litely received, and was ordered to remain at anchor until the cause should be decided, which was to take place within two or three days. There were likewise detained the American brig Matilda and schooner Fads°, of Baltimore. FLANDERS MAIL. COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX.

Mr. Cesar, Perk to the Hem of Lords, read the Commis sion by which Parliament is further prorogued to the loth of December. The news of the conclusion of peace between Ruuia and Tur key has, on the whole, made a very favourable impression here, but yet has not excited the sensation that might have been ex pected. This may be partly because the event has long been anti cipated as certain, Lod therefore we were not surprised at it ; and partly because people seem to feel that, with the name and form of a treaty of peace all the diflicuk points relative to the affairs of the Rut are far from being fully adjusted, but that the present state of feverish excitement in the political relations will continue for some time. This does not, however. much disturb us, as our situation re lieves us from frequent direct participation in the existing dielcultles and we are evideody in such an attitude that we may look forward without apprehension to all future events. It is said that it is in tended considerably to extend the sphere of action of our provin dal assemblies; it has keg since been proposed to make their pro ceedings more generally interesting by some degree of publicity.— To judge, however, by the substance of many of these proceeding+ which have been made public, it should seem that a number of the most important affairs will be better left for the present in the hands of the administrative authorities; who have kept pace with the spirit of the age, than in those of the provincial assemblies, whose views and proposals often seem to belong to times long since past.

The corps diplomatique and the Minister of France attended. Io the evening the hotel of the em bassy was illuminated. The disputes about the liturgy in the Protestant Church are happily ended.

The following details have been transmitted to us from Ala La Chapelle respecting the death of Sir Hudson Lowe. The taller of St. Helena Wits no more. The termination of his life was most frightful. After 53 hours of agony he died in the midst of the most cruel torments. As his name and reputation were marked by the stamp of universal execration, Sir Hudson Lowe resided Isere in incognito, and simply under the name of Hudson. He went out but very seldom; and although several Englishmen are established here, not one of them visited at the house of the Ex-Governor of Saint Helena. It Is said that to wards the end of the month of August last Sir Hudson happened to take a solitary walk outside the town, when he was met by some Englishmen, who recognised him. These gentlemen re proached him with the death of Napoleon ; they threatened to make him known atAlz-la•Chspelle,for they thought it impossible, after he was once known, that he could never again appear with impunity in public. The rencootre threw Sir Hudson into a most desperate state ; and from that day forward he never ventured out of his house again. The account of his death was received with . indifference. The English say that, for the honour of England, Sir Hudson ought to have died a dosen years ago. MADRID. Divers acts of grace are to follow the marriage of his Catholic Majesty, and by way of rejoicing at the arrival of the expedition which sailed from the Havaosah on the coast of Mexico. Thus it is looked upon as a certainty that a general amnesty will be granted for all political opinions mut ,offences. Nevertheless, certain individuals will be prohibited front approaching the capital. The Order of the Golden Fleece is to be given to M. de Medici., the Minister of Foreign Affairs at Naples, and to Prince de Par taloa, the Neapolitan Ambassador to our Court. The Grand Cross of the Order of Charles 111. is to be given to the Ministers of Fi nance, of War, of the Marine, and of Foreign Affairs. The Generals Prince Anglons, the Marquis de Moo Salmi, and Murillo, Count de Cartbagena, are declared purikd, and restored to all their dignities and honours. The Grand Cross of Elizabeth* Cathollea is to be conferred on M. de Cordova. Brigadiers Barrados and La Borde are appointed Mareehaux de Camp, and titularies of Castile (Grandees?) Lieutenant• General Miranda is named Grand Cross of Eliza beth& Cathoilea. The Council of Castile has been commanded, by a Royal order, to resolve immediately and conclusively the questions submitted to it respecting the reduction of the revenues of the Clergy. Many personages are of opinion that, whatever means may be adopted to realise this plan, the consequences that will ensue must be fatal, considering the great influence that body exer cises over the lower orders. However, all are agreed on the ne cessity of proceeding, sooner or Liter, to that extremity, as the national debt is enormous, and the receipts fall short of the expen diture. M. Seligman Michal, Grand Rabbi of the Israelite persuasion, died at Paris, on the 7th inst. at the age of 95. All the Israelite population of the capital followed his funeral to the cemetry of Father La Chaise. M. Deutz, the Grand Rabbi of the Central Consistory, pronounced his funeral oration on the tomb, in praise of the eminent qualities of the deceased. From the Messager des Chanihres. PERA, Sam 18. Al de foyer, the Prussian Ambassador, returned to Adrianople yesterday, with two Russian Officers. We now are certain that the peace has been signed, and will be soon notified by the Sultan. The whole city of Constantinople is in an excess of joy at the good news. The Sultan alone, plunged in melancholy, is an object of terror to all who surround him. The prospect of the future seems to inspire him with alarms, which the melancholy situation of the empire too well justifies. As soon as the t yis ratified the two Russian Officers who accompanied Al. de Royer will go to announce kto General Paskewitsch and Admiral Ricord. M. de Royer's negociation with General Diebitsch related chiefly to the indemnity for the expenses of the war to the cessation of hostilities, after the signature of the Treaty, and the extension of the limits of Greece. The Porte wished that the sums to be paid to Russia should not be expressed in the treaty, except in general terms, and that the particular should be embodied in a secret article, lest the people should imagine that the Porte has become tributary I. Russia. M. de Royer, it seems, has succeeded in this point, and also in obtaining a cessation of hostilities, immediately on the signature of the treaty, but with respect to Greece the Russian Cabinet is said to consider it absolutely necessary that its boundaries should ex tend to the Gulfs Of Art and Vole.

Captain Snares, of the schooner Sally Ann, arrived this morning from Havanna, informed that a second expedition, to consist of 4,000 troops, to operate in conjunction with the former expedition against Mexico, were preparing to embark, and would sail about October 10. A letter by this arrival, dated 49th ult. says,—There is a great stagnation in business at present, partly arising front the difficulty of communicating with the interior, but more from the universal bankruptcy of the dry goods dealers of the city, three or lour of which only remain. These failures involve about 2,000,000 dollars. The following bas been translated from the Havannah Nedeiwe. of t►e 24th of August : By his Majesty's frigate Restoration, arrived at this port on the 22d inst. we have received letters from an individual who made part of the expedition under the orders of Don Isidore de Barra das. They include an account of the principal events which oc curred from the time of sailing of the expedition until the landing of the troops. On board the Soberano, July 25. On the 26th the bead-quarters were transferred on board of the brig Cantivo, and the greater part of the sailors and troops be• longing to the ships of war were removed to the transports. The Admiral and General in Chief went in a felucca to recon noitre the bay, in order to find a convenient spot for landing the troo ps. While employed in their operation, six Mexican horse men appeared. A sailor immediately swam to the shore, and hay ing spoken to one of the horsemen, be gave him a doubloon and a quantity of proclamations. The Mexican seemed pleased with the present, and promised to return in the evening. The proclama tions were addressed to the inhabitants of Laguna and its environs. and exhorted them to remain quiet in their homes, and to fur nish the squadron with fresh provisions, for which ready money should be paid. In the evening the Mexican went on board of the Admiral's vessel, and informed the General in Chief, that on the preceding day, the ,Ililitary Authorities of Tampico had been apprised of our arrival, but that we had nothing to fear, as the Mexicans bad no troops to oppose us in this quarter. At the camp on the Mexican shore, July 97, at six in the morning s the landing of the troops commenced, and at half-past six, the Spanish flag already floated on the Mexican coast. Some of the soldiers. full of enthusiasm, swam to the shore and formed in line of battle. The Commander-in-Chief, Don Isidore Berndt', condoned in the water, animating the sailors and soldiers by his example. The sailors and soldiers who were not on duty, are employed in digging wells, which have already yielded gond water. The enemies with whom we shall immediately contend are few in number and badly mounted. It Is said that they are the militia employed in guarding the coast. The landing of the troops will probably be entirely effected this day. We have no other news. PROCLAMATION. " The Brigadier-Gen.

The total defeat of the main force of the Grand Viskr at the village of Kulewfscha, the taking of the fortress of &limb, the ever-memorable passage of Mount Balkan, the capture of all the fortresses in the Bay of Bourgas, and that of the second capital, Adrianople, are deeds which cover the army with imperishable laurels. But not satisfied with this, your distin guished military talents have shown to the world an event which exceeds all expectation, since you did not delay to plant our victo rious standards before the very gates of the enemy's capital, and, communicating on the right wing with our forces in the Archipe lago, and on the left with that in the Black Sea, at length tri umphandy compelled the Ottoman Porte to acknowledge its inn bility to resist the Russian arms, and decidedly to implore cle mency.

A British Cabinet Messenger passed through here this morning, on his way from Vienna, with dispatches for London. The Java Gas ogees contain various ac counts of actions with the insurgents. That of the 12th of May gives a report, dated hf age lang, May 2, of an expedition of the 2d, Sd, and 4th column* against Pengasse, where the enemy had appeared to the number of 600 or 700 men. The enemy made a vigorous resistance, and firmly awaited the approach of our troops, but when the lattrr charged they disappeared, and were pursued as well as the nature of the ground would allow. Their lose is said to have been con siderable; we had one man killed. The rebel* were commanded by a Chief named Sento', who was considered as an experienced leader. Other reports give an account of a victory obtained by Major Michaels, with the 11th column, near Sepoerang, where 200 of the rebels will killed, and a quantity of horses, standards, and arms, were taken. News front Amboyna mentions meeting among the soldiers at Saporea, who appeared to act in concert with some of the inhabi tants, and with one Schmidt Van !lard, formerly Resident at Sa purea, who had been degraded and banished. The Government at Amboyna had disarmed these soldiers, and sent them to Java. It had also arrested Schmidt, and all concerned in the projected in, surrection. M. Mo:ee., acting as Governor, and M. Styman, the militaty Commander, bad shewn great zeal. and the European gar rison and Ambnyoe•e soldiers deserve praise. All was quiet at Amboyna on the departure of the ship which brought this ocws to Java, as weU u by later accounts from that island.
