VIENNA. Anson as. PROM TICS AUSTRIAN ousaawau. Letters from Corfu of the Slit of July, state in sub stance, that since the appearance of Lord Cochrane in the lonian Sias in the month of May, the St. George Greek brig remained there with a certain number of small vessels, to maintain the blockade of the Gulf of Patras. These vessels had hitherto avoided the approach of the Turkish deet,which went backwards and forwards between Navatin and Patras. However, on the 23d of July, a Turkish frigate, two corvettes, and five brigs, sitiling from Navarin to the Gulf of Lepanto, the St• George, with another Greek vessel, attacked, on the night of the 23d, the Turkish vessel that was the fore. shut. The seven edam Turkish "mesh coming to its assistance, the Greeks retired, aft* a hundred cannon shot had been exchanged. A later account says that both the Greek vessels had sustained some damage, and that a nephew of his Lordship's, who commands the St. George, was wounded. Another letter from Corfu, of the sth of August announces, that on the lit, in the morning. the Hellas frigate and the St. George were seen off Zante, which fell in with two Turkish corvettes. The cannonade of these vessels was heard at Zante till two o'clock in the afternoon. The next day the Hellas was seen opposite Zante, and the St. George at a small distance; having with them a Turkish corvette of 24 guns, and a Turkish schooner of 10 guns, which had probably been cap tured in the action of the day before by Lord Cochrane, who was on board the Hellas. The corvette bad sus tained considerable damage in the tackle and sails, and people were seen oa the deck busy in repairing it. The schooner was uninjured, and still bore the Turkish (colours. AU these vessels sailed towards Castel Tornese. The Captain of the Frederick Adam lonian steam boat affirms that the crew of the Hellas was composed of 80 men at the most, because the Greeks would no longer serve under Lord Cochrane. That the duty on board that frigate was so disagreeable to the Greeks, on account of the loud explosion of the great guns, that they would not expose their ears to it. The Cephalonian Captain who commanded the ves sel captured by Lord Cochrane at the end of May, with Greek prisoners on board, has been condemned by the . tribunal at Zama to fifteen yeareimprisoosneat in irons, as guilty of tarrying on a trade in slates. The ten Turks who composed the escort were sent to Patras. PARIS, Sam I. The Journal du Commerce publishes the following extract of a letter, dated Constantinople, 26th July, which it has received by way of Marseilles : " Nothing is talked of here but the approaching ar rival of the squadaots of all the Christian nations to second the intervention of the powers of the west in the affairs of Greece; but people are convinced that what ever repugnance the Government may feel for the-pro. posed means of accommodation, it will yield without striking a blow, and the alarms that under such cir cumstances might be felt for the persons sad property of the Franks are entirely destitute of any reasonable fouadation. Nevertheless, as these ideas will gain ground in Europe, our commercial situation will be completely changed. There will be a great diminu tion in the consignments from your port for a country which you will fancy given up to fire and sword, and clear-sighted and bold speculators will profit by the fears of others." M. Eynard arrived here yesterday, from London. Count Capo d'lstria is expected immediately. BARCELONA, Ammer IS. The following is the official dispatch which the In tendant of Police at Barcelona, Don Francisco Hen riques. had addressed to the Head of the Police at Madrid. It gives a correct idea of the actual state of affairs in Catalonia: " Mose Ittusraions Sza—The desire and the hope of presenting to your Excellency a more flattering picture than that I presented by my dispatch of the 31st of last month, respecting the political events of this province, have delayed for some time the lasagne's of bringing it under your review. But, judging that my silence might . become injurious to the service of his Majesty, and ex ercise a fatal influence on the general tranquillity, on account of the different colours which might be given to events, with views of which we cannot be ignorant. I shall now tell you, that since the Ist instant the re bellion has made considerable progress under the con. duct of its principal Chiefs, the ex-Colonels Raphael, Bosch, and Balleis:er, and Augustin Saperes, who have been joined by a great number of officers on unlimited leave, who had shared along with Balleistrr, in the be nefits of the amnesty, after their first sedition in the month of April. " The rebel bands increase in a frightful manner,. Several of them are known by the names which distin guish their Chiefs. A great number of them included more than 200 men, who are organized by divisions, battalions, and companies. They never the:ess continue, to admit and incorporate into their ranks the Royalist Volunteers, who yield to the lures of seduction with a scandalous facility. There are likewise several bands, of from ten to twenty men, who, without knowing their true chiers, act in separate detachments, or unite them selves to the larger. Thus the rebels traverse the coun try with impuni y, spread terror all around, plunder the arms horn the municipalities, from individuals, and from the K .yalistirolunteen who refuse to follow them ; seizing even their uniforms, military chests, and the mime yr for the pay allowed to those corps a their audacity attacks even the priimipal cities, levies extraordinary contributions, pillages the public fund., leads off as hos Cages the tithed persons, who only regain their liberty by a ransom. and increases the excesses and misfortunes of the sufferers by persuading the docile and ignorant multitude that all these enormities are sothorised,by the secret orders of the King. our master, and the special approbation of the Holy Father; that the troops will not oppose them and tbat they never will assemble in sufficient force to defeat their design. " To resist this torrent of evils, ST6 soldiers only have arrived from Majorca in the course of the present month,—a force insufficient for such an enter prise; and being unable to for in either combinations for the pursuit, or to occupy the most important points, the small moveable columns of the province confine their operations to the tracking of some particular band and as it is impossible for them either to overtake it or to encounter it, on account of the inequality of - the ground, better known to the rebel bands than to the faithful troops, the only fruit of their pursuit consists in exhausting themselves by useless fatigues, if not sur prised by ausbustade....4 misfortune which lately hap pitied to a Captain et cavalry, who dumper-idled. The better to secure themselves, they abuse men's minds by the lying opinion that the orders for repressing their movements are only appearances put on • and as .the inhabitants of the cities and villages see that they Make rapid progresses and frequent excursions without en countering any obstacles, and with the greatest impu dence, if they refuse to believe such assertions, at least they abandon themselves to fear and mistrust with so much more appearance of reason, that this criminal im• potation finds, unhappily, a new foundation in the con duct of some authorities and functionaries, who, by weakness or perversity, do not show the energy and zeal which are suitable and necessary. " The police has, with grief, beheld all its fears realized, though when it predicted these misfortunes, it proposed the remedy at a seasonable juncture. Forced by its duties and attributions to the terrible avowal, it announced four months ago the disaster which menaced the province, and the cause which fomented these ele ments of discord; but ill men do not see the future with the same eye, any with the same perspicacity of judgment. It is then necessary to wait for a sad and terrible experience to convince them and the police, reduced to its own forces to oppose the evil, has ex hausted its resources, which were so much more feeble as it had no - support. because these precautions have only been regarded as necessary from the very recent moment since experience has raised the veil. " Since we have been undeceived, we have taken measures which ought to have been taken at first, to avoid and not to repress them, as is now done. Ap prized of them Lytle clamours of the police, its designs should have been seconded, instead of being accused of exaggeration. " But it is not yet too late; and if the measures which are prescribed are put its execution with the necessary activity, I natter myself with the hope that I shall soon be able to announce to your Excellency the hippy changes which have taken place in the province; and the best results may be expected if, in order to remedy the indispensable delay in the arrival of the troops, we employ the extraordinary resources at the disposition of the superior authority, who has in hand the armed force and other means calculated for circumstances so urgent. " Nevertheless, in whatever manner this is brought *boot, the happy result cannot long be delayed. It will soon be known, and then I shall eagerly communicate it to you for your satisfaction, and for that of all the sub jects devoted to the King our master, the friends of order, who are desirous for the happiness of his people. " May Goa preserve year Ixesfeacy =ay TVirlh (Signed) FRANCIS ENRIQUILL " P S. At this instant I have received a dispatch from the sub-delegate of Villa Franca, which announcesto me that the moveable column under the orders of the Captain of the 10th, Don Julian Losada, and composed of 200 men, destined to pursue the band of Augustin Saperes, encountered it the same day, on the borders of Piera. After a spirited attack, the rebels had 15 killed and several wounded, whom they carried off in their flight. The defeat and dispersion of the rebels cost nothing to the conquerors ; one grenadier only was wounded. I hasten to make this mown to your Ex cellency." IPROW THE JOURNAL DES DREAM SINGULAR COMBAT WITH ROBBERS. About ten years ago nothing was heard of but the robberies and stoppages that occurred in the passes of the Pyrenees. Above all, about the period of the fairs at Pao and Otoran, it happened that men, at other times accustomed to contraband trade, united in arms, in order to plunder the wealthy merchants passing into France. Under such circumstances, a merchant, named Benito- Marton, was stopped in one of the passes, not far from Gabes, by four men, armed with fosils and pikes. Two of his servants who preceded him had been already stripped, and compelled,in order to save their li ves,to crouch down on the ground, with their beads covered with a cloth, and one of the robbers kept them, with his gun in this position, while the rest went to attack the Spanish mer chant. The latter, who was journeying without dis trust, led a mule laden with 2 4 3,000 francs. AU of a sudden two men appeared before him, with their guns presented, and demanded his money. The Spaniard save them his purse, which contained twenty francs, in different coins; but not satisfied a ith that sum, the robbers approached the mule, and were pre• paring to unload it, when Benito, who kept his pre sence of mind, thought he heard his servants, who fol lowed him at some distance. At that moment began a contest, perhaps without example. The intrepid Spaniard seized with one hand the robber by the neck, who threatened his life, with a pistol presented to his breast, and turned aside the murderous weapon with the other, and In the other robber menaced him with his gun, if he did not quit his companion, he had the ad dress to use the one robber as a buckler, and to turn him in every direction, in order to shield him from the other. 'lhis terrible and singular scene continued for half anhour. t length his shouts were hear d,and the two fore most Spaniards contrived to break from their confinement, and come back to thewssistance of their fr iend.Two of the brigands stopped them, and in the meanwhile the other domestics came np. Benito still embraced the robber, whom he used as a rampart. The robber, who had hitherto kept steady, mode a last effort to deliver his The following, from another Correspondenticontains some interesting views respecting the Commercial 41t1A. tion of Colombia. They are given by a Gentleman of long residence in that country, and much experience in trade, and will, no doubt, be found' correct. His ten tentious account of Bolivar's character, we suspect, is more to the purpose than one half of the elaborate de scriptions given of it by the thousands who have at tempted it s " CARACAS, 31111 i L 9, 1821. '4 Since the arrival of the President, Bolivar, in Cita tam, in the early part of January last, great *keratin* in almost every branch of the Government of Venezuela have been made by and with the advice of Mr. Revenge, his Secretary General—these alterations have had for their object, first, a curtailment of expenses of the Go eminent ; and, secondly, a more advantageous system of revenue than that established by Congress in March 1844. Great and general dissat'sfaction has prevailed and still exists thjoughcut the community, in cons& queue of these alterations, which, instead of ameliorate ing the country, has produced the contrary result. In fact, the system of Mr. Revenge is nothing mote or less than the old Spanish system revived, with a few slight improvements. In my opinion, and indeed it is the opinion of all who know any thing about the comtner cial state of the country, that the present system cannot last long; yet the influence that Mr. Revenge pinkish with the President, will induce him to continue it, al though it is so contrary to the teal inietests of the Go vernment, and of course to the people. Mr. Revenge dislikes foreigners, and his real object in blinging tot ward this system is intended to injure foreigners, while, in fact, he is destroying the whole native populations commercially speaking; all his restrictions on cons merce, situated as this country is, tends to impoverish and parelize the agriculturist, and must eventually, if continued long enough, cue! a revolution much more dangerous than that of April, 1826, under General Paez. M. Mendoza, the Intendant, who is certainly a man of talents and much influence, is oppos?d to all Revenge's plans; and yet, although be stands high in the estimation of Bolivar, he has no influence with him in these matters. It is most extraordinary that a mart like Bolivar should be thus blind and implicitly follow the advice of Revenge, who knows no more about finance than a boy of ten years old; the strongest prof of his ignorance of finance is the total stoppage of Go vernment paper, or what you would call in the United States, Treasury certificates; however, it is needless to talk more on this subject, experience alone will convince the people of this country, what all the improvements in the other parts of the world will never accomplish. ' " The character of Bolivar is not known in the United States of Europe. He is honest, brave and generous, strictly just, but proud and imperious. His ideas of government and state policy, are very different to what you in the United States consider liberal principles. In fact, he knows the people of Colombia better than they know themselves, and without him at the present mo ment, there would be nothing but anarchy and confu sion. He goes on to Bogota to meet the Congress, and to punish the performers in the drama under the ma nagement of Santander. " Bolivar has become very unpopular here, because he has been led by Revenge to put into operation the present system of Rents, &c. After he leaves here,l have no doubt that strong remonstrances will be sent on to Congress from Venezuela, kc. " Puerto Cabello is now dismantled, end it is *ld the Castle or Fortress there will be demolished. The Dutch are throwing up immense fortifications at Curacoa, der the e.ye and purse, it is said, of the English. " General Paez, who is now at Whirsicai sick, remains in command of Venezuela, as Gefe Supreme ; Dr. Pena to be his Secretary General ; Mendoza remains as In tendant.—Adieu to politics.
