Important negotiations ate said to be carrying on in the Palace of the Pacha of Belgrade, relative both to the military contribu tions to be paid by the Pone, and to the new political arrange ments in Servia.

OFFICIAL g:OcUAIIINT& The following documents have been published since our last : A letter from Governor Estanisloo Lopez, dated Santa Fe, June 19, 1829, to Commodore Rosales, commanding the flotilla block ading the port of Santa Fe, stating that the Government of Monte Video bad, in a nom dated the 22d of May, offered its mediation so ttegociate a paw between Santa Fe and Hamm Ayres.which it was believed had been accepted no the part of the latter, and that Gen. Paz bad likewise made propositioos to the same skeet, which he ( Lopez) as GeneraWn-chief of the Army of the Union, considered admissible, and therefore wished to shorten the war, and that be had seat orders to General Quirogs, commanding the troops of Ilinja, San Juan, Commerce, and San Luis, to suspend hostilities during the Depilation. That in this state of affairs the hostilities carried on by the flotilla of Commodore Rosales appeared to be without object, and misfit have m effect upon the war, aid not wishing that the blood of a single person should be shed unneces sarily, be (Lopez) proposed the following : Ist. That Commodore Rosales should have the necessary seat• tines, in order that he might proceed to the Guardia nleja del RM. con. to confer with the Georral.in-Chief. s. That if be is not able to attend, Colonel Thompson might perhaps do so. That a suspension of hostilities should take place for the period necessary to ascertain if a general peace was likely to follow. The letter concludes by stating that tbe General-in-Cbief hope, Com modore Rosales will meditate upon the proposition made, and be persuaded of the necessity of economising Argentine blood ; that the sentiments of the Commodore are well known, knd that If its duty permits it, be will doubtless aid a design so rational. If, unfortu nately, it should not be so, the Generatin-Chief will have the ea. ti.feetory recollection, that he has not omitted anything that might tend to diminish the evils of this unfortunate war. Commodore Rosales returned an answer to the above, dated on. board the schooner-of-war Ssmodi, at anchor at Colostine, June 22,1329, stating that the naval forces under his charge, were in combination under the immediate orders of Colonel Isaac Moor mil, to whom he (Ros.der) was subordinate in the expeditim, and to whom be refers General Lopez. A dispatch from Col. Isaac Thompson, dated San Nicolas de los Arroyas, July 27,1829, addressed to his Excellency the Governor and Capt.-general of the province of Sante Fe. says " that the gre. vernment 4luenos Ayres had been informed of the note dated June 22, sent by Gov. Lopez to Commodore Rosalie, proposing an at mistice betweeen the two provinces, and that lie(the Col.) was au thorised to act in this Important affair ' • that Buenos Ayres was desi rous of peace, and that its sentiments in this respect are a sulkiest /prune to Santa Fe of its wish to moments, Argentine blood ;and that its desire far peace all over the territory of the Republic was as constant as that for its prosperity and its glory. Animated with these ideas, and counting upon the CO. operation of Governor Lopez, the Colonel hopes that as soon as possible the Treaty may be brought to a conclusion, and request. Governor Lopez to name a Commissioner to come to San Nicolas, to arrange it • that the basis proposed by the government of Buenos Ayres is as &lows : 1. An armistice between the contending parties for an indefinite period. 2. That the troops who recognise the authority of Santa Fe, shall repass the Arrogo del Niodios. 3. That the blockade e the ports in the Porana shall be raised, and the vessels detained placed at liberty. That the Governor of Santa Fe shall expedite the opening of the communication between tbe city of Buenos Ayres and the provinces of the interior , permitting the ingress and egress of the post-office couriers, passengers, carts of merchandise, etc. Hostilities not to recommence witin twelve days' notice on es% h side. Governor Lopez addressed a letter to Colonel Isaac Thampeass, in reply to the above, dated Santa Fe, Aug. 10, 1829, seating Ids satisfaction at the noble sentiments earesastl relative to peace, and that he wished above all to make it known to the Colonel, that the province of Santa Fe bad not made war against that of Buenos Ayres • on the contrary it had acted in unison with a st ron g division of the same province under the immediate command of the General of the country districts, Don Juan Manuel, Roses, and in unison likewise with the other provinces, he had opposed the national army, which, under the command of General Juan Lavelle, made the movement of Decem. bet 1, against the Government of Buenos Ayres. Never theless be (Lopez) bad made amicable offers to this same Government during the unhappy struggle in whit* he was com promised, in a manner which left him no option. 'Out the treaty of peace of 24th of June, between Don Juan Laval* the Provi sional Governor of Buenos Ayres, and Colonel Juan IL Row, is a competent authorization to the Government of Santa Fe, not to consider itself at war with the forces under the command of Col. Thompson. That no troops whatever belonging to Santa Fe are now in the territory of Buenos Ayres ; the communication with the province of Santa Fe is open. and that, with the interior provinces, is secure and free ; therefore he (Governor Lopez) twelves that the armistice proposed before the convention of 24th of June, is now useless. That the Governor of Santa Fe feels the most live emo tion that his Excellency the Governor of Buenos Ayres has resolved to employ all the means which his situation affords, in order to bring about the general pacification of the Republic. as well as to promote its prosperity and glory. and the Governor Lopez will feel honoured to unite his weak cooperation to the powerful influ ence of his Excellency, to toward an undertaking so glorious.— Ceesta Mereassal, dog. 25. AMERICAN PAPERS. ( From the New York Morning Herald of Oct. 16. ) pal- Sunoco—The expedition fitted out fur thew-conquest was try. weak, and 111-commanded ; and. instead of achieving the object for which it was sent, has at every step met with disaster and de feat, and at length been overwhelmed with total destruction. This termination of the attempt was announced several days ago, by a vessel direct from Vera Cruz—was rendered still more probable by a letter received at Cincinatti from Sabine—and has been luny confirmed, as will be elsewhere seen in our columns, by accounts received yesterday from New Orleans. ' Interesting tram the Theatre of War.On the 19th of Au• gust, I arrived at my quarters in this village, when I learnt that the enemy had made some movements on Atamira ; notwithstand ing the small numbered my troops, I was determined to surprise the enemy in his quarters at Tampico Tamaulipas, in which be bad left 600 men. I effectually crossed the river ao the night of the 40th, in spite of the vigilance of the Spanish gun-boats. with 400 wine lar troops and some militia, and I advanced to the fort within gun . 'shot, when the soldiers fired an the enemy, It being impossible to restrain their enthusiasm; and by this uwans sinstruyod my hopes of taking the castle by surprise. At this moment it was Wpm. Bible to do anything but advance and at two o'clock hi the morn.. lug I entered the village under the brisk fired the enemy, which AhUged him to destroy some of his positions. laden concentrate his forces into two fortified points, which were supported by , the fire of a gun-beat from the river. •The firing lasted till two o'clock In the shiftiest:, when the enemy hoisted a Sag of truce, requested to alplinkte. and dirrld deliver up his arms. "We were formed when General Manaus presented Meat[ w ith an army ; and notwithstanding the superiority of his fora, I was disposed to resist, when be requested as interview. and Ward me to repair to my general quuters, where he would enter into nexocistions. " My pennon at this moment was critical, and I retired with pt kk, granting bins a favour which necessity imperiously demanded. Taking advantage of this juncture, I marched out thresgh the Spanish troops with flying colours and beat of drum. •• General Garza bad attacked the enemy on his retrogsde march from Altamira, the Me of August would have been the last sit the existence of the vanguard of the Spanish Army; but it unfortu nately did not occur. The loss of the enemy sonsisted of 112 men in killed end wounded, and ours in 54 wounded and 17 killed. "The advantages gained by this glorious day are incalculable, as it has taught the enemy how to appreciate Mexican valour : he has lost, and for ever. Almada. and we have reduced him to the only paint which he now occupies, and from which be cannot proceed without surrendering. " The division which fought in this action distinguished Itself in an extraordinary manner : it is impossible to know whether the soldier. the aka, or the chief. displayed the most patriotism. AU this I communicate to your Excellency for your satisfaction. " God and Liberty !—Hradittarters at Pueblo Viejo of Tam. pia. August 24,1829. " ANTONIO LOPEZ DE SANTA ANNA." THE EVENING STAR.

National To-morrow, at two o'clock, the Kum will hold a Council in his MAJESTY'S Palace of Windsor, for the purpose of receiving the RECORDER'S Report of the con victs now under sentence of death in Newgate. This day, at one o'clock, Grace the Duke of WH.- LINGTOX arrived at his official residence in Downing street, preparatory to his dining with the new LORD MAYOR, at his inauguration-dinner in Guildhall. — The LORD CHANCELLOR, Lord MELVILLE, Lord ROSSLYN, Sir GEORGE MURRAY, Mr. GOULIBURE, Mr. VESEY FITZGERALD, and other Cabinet Minis ters, are expected to honour the LORD MAYOR with their company also on this occasion. Despatches were this (lay received at the Foreign Office, from his Excellency Lord STUART DE ROTHSAY, our Ambassador at the Court of France. The recognition of Don Min DEL by this country, u de facto KING of Portugal, is announced as imminent by the Sunday Times of yesterday, in a strain of com placency quite unaccountable in such a journalist. We cannot, however, agree with our easy contemporary, that that event is either impending or probable: and till such an astounding proof of the bull-headedness of the Noble Earl appear before us in all the damning authenticity 'of the Gazette, we shall be sceptical as to that audacious measure to the end. In the mean time we are at a loss for language aptly to characterise the mean-spirited and sneaking connivance with which a great portion of the soi-disant Litigant. PRESS actually winks at, and en courages, our unprincipled Government in its systems of nefarious policy. We speak domestically, as well as with reference to our foreign relations. At home the disposition is unconcealed, to repress and down-trample the people : abroad, the same spirit is furiously co-operant to aid tyrants in extinguishing the manifestations of li berty. In the case of Portugal—to which we have just alluded—it is not personal predilection which instigates the Noble Earl to acknowledge Mioun., but the prin ciples which by film Del.'s establishment would be ren dered triumphant. Intolerance, absolute power—these are the feodalities which Lord A B ERDEE N works to perpetuate: these are the desirable forms which he labours to pre serve in Europe. Poun sac works with him: MET TERNICH works with him—not for MIGUEL, yet for absolute monarchy—and the scheme and the un derstanding is to coerce the general mind, and keep the nations iu their ancient thraldom. Every body knows that the interesting and innocdnt Down* MARlA—far from being an object of individual aversion —inspires, even in the bosoms of those who wrong her, unsilencsable abstract sympathies : but the Charter of Don PEDRO has linked his daughter's cause inseparably to the cause of constitutions, and in the undistinguishing hatred of free forms her righteous claims are sa crificed without remorse. Neither the Noble Earl, nor the Noble Duke, ever entertained an hour's doubt of the justice and legitimacy of these, in spite of the diplomatic varnish and mystification with which at all times they have been careful to obscure the question. The hard hearted insolence of the Duke of WELLINGTON'S letters to the Marquis DE PALMELLA, contrasts strikingly with the ingenuous interest displayed in the same cause by CANNING ; and the historian—when he does justice to that enlightened Statesman—will refer to the Noble Duke's correspondence as s blot upon our ministeria anmds. " Don MlGUEL"—says the Sunday Times—" has been recognised by the King of SPAIN : the same ho nour he has received from the POPE—end France and England will shortly follow their example." This is most dogmatically asserted. By what channel, pray—if not from the people of the daily Times—did our so positive contemporary acquire his information ? We know that it is in accordance with the ardent wishes and keen pur poses of Ministers, and we know that the daily Tines is even their more than demi-official organ: but in the present instance, we shrewdly suspect that the " wish" of these paragraph-writers is " father to the thought" of recognition. lf, however, the dis graceful acknowledgement be proclaimed—in the name of this unaasenting country—it will be only one, among the numerous indications of the state of things, which the Noble Duke is labouring to re-establish in Europe. As far as the Portuguese question is concerned, it is just possible that the Noble Duke may carry his point for a brief interval: but we can tell his Grace that it will be only a temporary triumph, and that he works in vain to countervail the spirit of the age. We do not envy the Duke of WELLINGTON in the political positions which be has had the temerity to take up ; for he will be forced from them with conspicuous discomfiture and open shame. The obsolete oppressions, which —anteriorly to the French revolution—were the order of continental government, it is beyond his power to restore. He may dictate here—he may diplomatise there—but the resistance of mind is organising fast, and will soon show a front impregnable to brute coercion. But for the servility of purblind borough-mongers, he would not have occupied so long the throne from which he now fulmin ates against public liberty, and constitutions over all the world. But the tocsin of Rumsu is sounding, and the excision of the rotten limbs is about to be demanded in a voice of thunder. Fools that the people have been, ever to repose an instant on the hollow in-door promises of a corrupt assembly to purge itself! That " reform from without"—which the great Lord CIIATII AM prognosticated would soon over take it with a vengeance—is now sweeping like a destiny to its completion. The taxes grind—the debt over whelms--but the insolence of corruption continues. Quoisg we tandem abuteris, Insane, patientid populi? The Noble Duke may take our words for it, his misgo vernment is hastening to its close. The Spirit of rege neration, " with the fan in his hand," is advancing to cleanse the floor, and not an abomination will be left. An equitable adjustment of the DEBT, and the abolition of the borough system, will restore England to her en vied eminence—and on these objects the hopes and hearts of the people are now fixed with a stedfest determination. By an article on the subject of Portugal, extracted from an American Paper, it would appear that so late as the 17th ult. nothing was known at New York relative to the decision of the Government with regard to the seizure of American ships by the officers of the Usurper, and the imprisonment of twelve men, the crew of the Galatea, the particulars of which have al ready appeared in our columns.—Acquainted as we are with the flagrant nature of this transaction, we can only account for the inaction of the Punt MINT and his Cabi net, by concluding that the details and depositions, which were sent by way of Lisbon, owing to the want of a di rect communication, must have been intercepted there. Until, therefore, we are assured that the facts are known at Washington, we shall not believe in the possibility of acts of violence, which amount to a declaration of war en the one hand, and to the greatest cruelty towards the subjects of a friendlrstate on the other, being passed over without a single manifestation of national resentment. We know that British property has been seized to a large amount, and that the British flag has been trampled under foot by the partisans of Don Mio vtt.—wo also know that his treatment of British subjects has met with equal impunity. It would, however, be a lamentable sign of the times wore our example to be followed in any other country. But of this we cannot entertain the apprehension. The Courrier Francais of Saturday informs us that a messenger had arrived at the Austrian Embassy, with intelligence that the Emperor of Russia had consented to modify the conditions of the Treaty of Adrianople— both as regards the amount of the indemnity, and the time granted for its payment. But this piece of news is of no value—it wants confirmation; and when confirmed, what will it avail the &Taunt Porn? He is as fit to pay eight millions, as be is to pay four; and as to time, the longer he is allowed the worse he becomes: for, let it not be forgotten, that the rich revenues and contributions of his most valuable Principalities aro no longer at his command. We have Frankfort papers this day to the 2d Nov. in which we find an article of Prussian manufacture, re plete with plausible argument in support of the gene rosity and " moderation" of NICHOLAS in his recent exploits, both as regards his mode of carrying on the war, and his mode of making up a peace. Nothing can be said on the subject farther than has already been said twenty times oyer. NICHOLAS has every thing his own way—and he is, in fact, Emperor of Turkey now as well as of Russia. From the same papers we have another article from the Frontiers of Turkey, dated the 18th of October, which conveys news that might natu rally be looked .for, about the fallen condition of that Empire. It sets forth that—" In the defiles of Mount Remus, and the countries covered with fruits, which the victorious Russians have not traversed, bands of robbers are formed, who only wait for the departure of the Rus sians to commence their depredations. The prospects of all the east part of Turkey are most gloomy : it is feared that if even those provinces return under the Turkish Government, they will be a prey to a state of anarchy, which Mahmoud, with all the energy of his character, (?) will not be able to prevent." FROM PRUSSIA, Orr. SS. For some dew the neon various opinions prevailed here respect. ing the Treaty of Adrianople& According to some, the terms were very hard upon the Poste: while others said that they showed the extreme moderation on the pan of Rawls. Nobody recollected that both might be tree. Now that the Treaty b hewn from sulklently authentic statements, it is generally agreed in the higher circles that the Emperor of Russia has acted with generate mode radon; and has granted to the vanquished enemy terms which, in Me situation, may be called extremely reasonable. Bet the great body of the public pretty plainly declare that the Emperor might, and should, have demanded mere. The stipulations respecting womiavia and Walachia. respeashop Sonia and Greece, which woad certainly seem intolerable to a government We them of modern Europe, do sot strike the Porte as each k b accustomed to euer cite over may of ice provinces a limked. precarious, and eves manly apparent authority, as for imams over Egypt.

Ibe indemnity for the swims of the war may sewn peas; but the sumo which Russia has espeoded es the war, doubtless, amount to thrice the sinus. Why did she Porte canes the war. which Russia did all it could to avoid? Why has it not tarried on that war with more skill?

A few only escaped so sea, the remainder were slain. This intelligence is six days later than the news received by the Matilda. DEM ERA RA SEPT. 2.--" A most horrible report of a singularly shocking occurrence is at present in circulation here. About four months ago, a Dutch sloop-of-war, which was cruising off the Island of Saba, fell in with a ship the crew of which could not give any account of her destination ; and having no papers to show, she was taken possession of by the Dutchman. Shortly after a schooner, strongly armed and manned, made her appear ance, and claimed the prize of the Dutchman. She pro fessed to be a Buenos Ayres privateer. The Dutchman, doubting her papers, took possession of her as a pirate. The prizes were taken to Surinam, owing to her having a slavery cargo on board, and proceeding to Africa. On the ship being condemned the crew were missing, and the cargo consisted of a considerable quantity of pork in hogsheads. These were publicly sold ; and when opened by the purchasers, were found to contain, cut up into pieces, and salted amongst the pork, human carcases — on many parts of which were distinctly traced the pieces of tattooing with which seamen often mark their bodies. The Authorities, on learning these horrid details, took every precaution to prevent them from being made public." We learn that the Congress of Mexico have conferred upon the President of the Republic extraordinary powers, equal to those exercised by the Dictator of the Roman Republic. Mr. Poiusett, the American Minister, will leave here shortly for America. The Quebec papers, to the 9th Oct. state, our Markets continue high. Flour, pork, and beef, are par ticularly so. The price of flour has been affected by the unfavourable weather, which extended generally through the province. This month has, however, been fine. and admitted the late grain to be all secured in good condi tion. The preparations made for export of wheat, and the drought in Upper Canada, have also helped to support the advance. The timber market has remained nearly at the highest price ; and it suddenly rose on the arrival of about 100 sail a few years ago. The number of vessels arrived, up to this time, may be said to exceed 800 ; and about 60 or 80 more may be-expected. ' About 140 are at present taking in cargoes.
