1 General Bolivar But what is the best fur me to do?' he continued Do you not think that if T were wounded,or killed. ma CaPedition would be totally lost, and Brion, the popr Orion. would have ex pended in vain all his fortune?' I looked up, astonished : it first occur red to me that he might be jesting ; but when I saw that these strange questions were put to 'me in earnest, I understood him, called Brion, and said, ' General Bolivar has made to me a just observa tion concerning you : he said, that be being wounded or killed in the action, you would lose all your advances, as then the expedi tion would of course be disbanded.' Well. General,' said Brion, turning to Bolivar,' you will be safely placed with the Intendant. Zea, to whom I have assigned a place in my cabin, (in which Bolivar, Brion, Zea, and myself, slept,) at the entry of the powder magazine, to hand the necessary cartridges. A. Brion said these words in an angry manner, Bolivar asked, But, my dear Brion, do you not think that Ducoudray's observation is just?--do you not think so?' •Oh yes, yes,' said Brion, and turned round. I was giving the necessary orders to our officers to arm with mus kets and cartridges. when Bolivar came hastily and took me by the arm, saying, ' Now I have found an excellent place, better than to be down in the cabin with old Zea, (who looked, in fact, much older than he was. and was the same man who died as mi nister of Colombia in England.) He showed me the long-boat, which, in armed vessels, is generally fixed over the cabin win dows. He jumped in, called Garcia (his attendant,) or dered his pistols and sword, and told him to load two balls in each pistol, which Garcia did in my presence, looking at me and laughing. This position, which Bolivar chose fur himself, was surely the safest place in the vessel ; then, in sit ting as he did in the long-boat, his head and whole body were safely protected by the thickness and strength of the beam which supports the rudder of the vessel. He sat down in the boat, and requested me to take command of the dicers, whom I provided with arms and ammunition; and Brion entrusted me with the command of the volunteers; so that I had to survey the whole infantry of about 160 armed men. A strange contrast was af forded by NI. Ballot, a respectable French gentleman of sixty-four years of age, who, together with his young son of sixteen years old, put themselves voluntarily under my orders, in spite of Brion'. and my representations that they should go down into the cabin and moist Mr. Zea. Both, full of ardour and courage, re futed positively, and said, that this was a post of honour, and that they would not have any other assigned to them. In comparing the behaviour of Ballot father and son, who exposed their livea,vo lunurily, for the welfare of a country in which they were not born, and to which they did not come in order to light, with that of a military chieftain, already famous, who now. placed at the head of an expedition, withdrew himself in seat a cut lout manner, when he should have taken the command of us all, we have surely a very characteristic trait of what I have already said of Bolivar" NOVA SCOTIA v. SWAN RIVER. It is a characteristic of the English people to attach impuetance to things at a distance orfarletthed. It is difficult on any other principle to account for the prevailing predilection for the Swatairer over twenty other places that might be named in different parts of the world, affording equal or superior advantages to emi grants. There is perhaps no part of the world so advan tageous for emigration from the British isles as Nova Scotia. as well on account of its proximity, as its great caps. bilities alike fur agriculture, mining, and commercial enter prise; the advantages of which we will endeavour to set forth.— Nova Scotia is the nearest point of the American continent to Europe : it is a peninsula extending nearly NO miles from S. to N. by IL bearing E. at a medium breadth from E. to W. of about 55 miles. Cape Sable, the S.F. extremity of the peninsula, is lat. 43. 24. N. and 65. 39.10ng. W: of Greenwich. Halifax, the capital of the province, and residence of the Lieutenant Governor of all British America, is beautifully located on the S. side of a spacious harbour, in lat. 44. 46. N. and 63.27. of W. longitude. which corresponds with the lat. of Bordeaux. Halifax is protected on the land side by a strong fort, and an island at the entrance of the harbour is so strongly fortified as to render the town secure from any attack by sea. There are several other good harbours on the Atlantic coast, the principal of which are Shelburne, Liverpool, and Lunenburgh. The country around Halifax. although picturesque, is sterile, and calculated to excite an unfavourable impression, but on the aggregate Nova Seotis is a country of great capability, and in many pans of great fertility ; it is bounded on the E. by the Bay of Fundy, which separates it from the British province of New Brunswick, to which it is united by an isthmus, in the narrowest part, about ten miles acre's, and on the N. it is bounded by the Gut of Cuomo, which divides it from Cape (Ireton, and on the N.B. by Northumberland Streight, which divides it from Prince Edward Island in the Gulf St. Lawrence. On this coast are the harbours of Antigonish and Picton ; the latter sufficiently capacious to contain several thousand IA of ships, in as complete security as if ha the harbor of Ports mouth. On the coast of the Day of Fundy are the Puns of Digley. Annapolis, and Windsor. The surface of Nova Scotia is beautifully diversified, interspersed with lakes and streams of water. adapted to facilitate every kind of manufacturing operations, while the coast and all its rivers and harbours abound in fish ; the most fertile part of the country is at the head of the Bay of Fundy, where is the town of Truro, about 60 miles N. of Halifax, and SO W. of Picton. This part of the country consists of a rich red loamy soil, all across the Isthmus, from Truro to Picton, the quality of which is indicated by the luxuriance of its forests of berth. maple, and oak. With the view of rendering this part of the country more available to agricultural and commercial enter prise, a better communication from Dartmouth. on the E. side of the harbour of Halifax, and opposite there to Truro, is now form ing. The distance [tom Dartmouth to Truro is about 60 miles, but 2739 yards only of canalling and lockage opens a water commu nication the whole distance, through a country, rich in gypsum, lime; slate, coal, and other minerals. This Work was first authorised by the Provincial Assembly in 1824, when an Act was passed to nth°. rise the incorporation of a Company for making a Canal by the Meer and Lakes of the grsibeneenidie. Under this Act a Company was incorporated by a Charter, dated the Ist of June, 1828 ; the esti mated expence is £57.000, towards which the provincial Legisla ture have voted .613.500 sterling as a donation ; £16,500 has been subscribed by individuals in Nova Scotia, and £27,000 is intended to be raised in .England, fir which £27,000 an interest of five per Cent. in perpetuity, is to be guaranteed for the first ten years by the Provincial Legislature, who have authorised a further grant of £1350 annually for such specific purpose. The summit level of this Canal is 95ft. 10 in. above the high water surface of medium tides in Halifax Harbour, and is attained by seven locks, each 87ft. long and 22ft. Gin. wide. The rise of the tide lock being 15ft. 4in. and the other, lift. 6 in. the descent into the Shubenacadeo River, which fails into the Bay of Fundy, near Truro, is 95ft. 4in. by eight locks of the same dimensions, and thus a navigation will be opened the whole distance fur vessels drawing eight feet of water, capable hereafter of being increased to the depth of 10 or 11 feet. The head waters Of the Bay of Fundy on the South are designated the Beans of Mines, and the eastern extremity is called abefsed Bay, at the head of which, about five miles eastward of the mouth of the Shubenacadee River, is seated the town of Truro, • front Truro, the Isthmus (the mean breadth of which is about 85 mileoforms a promontary running nearly due W. about 60 miles into the Bay of Fundy. The waters South of this promontory are called the Chiegoseeto Channel, or Bear Basin, which diverges on the N. into Chepody Bay, and due E. into Cumberland Basin. Into the head of this Basin falls the Aulac River, at the mouth of which is Fort Counbetiand. About 45 miles due N. of Truro, from the Aulac River. a canal of only eight miles, with five locks, extends the navigation of the Shubenacaddie and the Bay of Fundy into Northumberland Strait and the Gulf of St. Lawrence; and thus a range of sterna hundred miles of hdand waters is rendered available for the extension of Steam navigation by less than ten miles of canalage and lockage. With these advantages here set forth, it must be unnecessary to offer further inducements to emigrants. The Scotch have long been sensible of its advantages. The popu lation of the province in 1817 was taken at 82,050 ; increased in 124.000; and when 992.000 acres of land were returned cultivation, maintaining 110,000 head of horned cattle, sheep. 13,000 hones, and 70,060 pigs; and yielding an supply of 150,600 bushels of wheat, 450,000 bushels of other , and upwards of 5,C00,040 bushels of potatoes of the char quality. which are exported to the United States in large ipaaddes.

TO CORRESPONDENTS. The letter of lotaurmus on Captain Lanoo's patent rudder bas been received, and will appear on Monday. We have no room for the long letter of Mr. Pnmurs, of Finchley, concerning the late enquiry into the death of Mrs. PwtL• urs ; and—as we have never expressed any opinion one way or the other—we reject it with the less hesitation This morning Despatches were received at the Co- 1 lonial Office, in Downing-street, from General Sir GEORGE DON, Governor of Gibraltar; and from Lieut.- General the Hon. F. C. PONSONBT, lieutenant Go vernor of Malta.. This morning, also, Despatches were received at the Foreign Office from Mr. BOSANQUET, the British Consul at Cadiz. Under the mask of a criticism on the biography of ETIENNE DUMONT, the celebrated publicist of Geneva, the Times of this morning contains a scurrilous and vul gar attack on JEREMY BENTHAM. The best refutation of this malignant effusion is, the rapidly increasing spread of our great countryman's principles throughout Europe and the New World. We venture to assert that thero is not a single State on the Continent, in which the jurisprudence and philosophy of BENTHAM are not become a text-book to all who aspire to eminence, either in making or expounding laws. From the American Union, and the whole of the new republics, we know that he has received the most flattering testimonies of applause and admiration. With regard to the works edited by M. DuNONT, they are by far more popular all over the Con tinent than any others which have ever appeared on the interesting subjects to which they relate : nor are they less remarkable for the important truths they develop, than a style as powerful and persuasive as it is origihal and uncommon. Yet these are the works, in which the scoffer of the Times asks if there be any thing worth understanding? What a humiliating sight it is, to con template so much impotence and venom blended together ! He basks in his large circulation, vilifying and vili pending all that is disinterested and virtuous ; nor can his low and selfish nature comprehend the philanthropy which he turns to mockery, partly from venal assentation with the ignorant—partly from party rancour. But the is - - t ime not far distant, when acting on his own came loon principles, the reptile will change his colour; and vainly try to keep out of sight—while advocating what he now derides—his disgusting and irreverent calumnies. While discussing the consequences of Russian in fluence in the Mediterranean, we have more than once alluded to the disaffection which prevailed among the inhabitants of the lonian Islands, and the great proba bility of their taking the first opportunity of making common cause with their northern friends. An article from Ancona, which will be found under our foreign head, now states that secret meetings have been dis covered, having for their object the " throwing off the yoke of their voluntary protectors." This is precisely what we anticipated : nor have we the least doubt that a plan is already concerted on the subject. It has long been a favourite project of the partisans of Russia in these islands—and they are very numerous—to unite with Greece, in order that the whole may thus come under Russian protection. No wonder, therefore, if the re cent triumph of the Autocrat, combined with the blind policy of England, should revive the hopes of the dis contented, and urge them to attempt a speedy realisation of their project. Our sentiments on the subject of the new Greek kingdom—and the necessity for its complete independence—are well known : it will be perceived, however, by an article in the Constitutionnel, that independence does not seem to be destined for it, and that some Satrap or Hospodar will administer the tributary State. It is for his acquiescence in such arrangements as these, that the Noble Duke will earn--nemine dissentiente—his self-bestowed epithet of " Mad." Would that the " plectuntur Achivi" did not come in as a corollary to his deli rium " The Constitutionnel says, that the high powers have definitively settled that Greece shall fonn a State entirely independent, and that it shall be governed by a Prince who shall not have the title of King. The only thing remaining to be done—says the Constitu tionnel—ie to settle the Frontiers of the new State, and to make choice of the Prince who shall be placed at the head of the Government. This news, says the Gazette de France, is evidently incorrect. The negociations cannot have any other basis than the Treaty of the Bth July and the Protocols ; and it is known that the Suxeraineti of the PORTE over Greece, is expressly stipulated. The consent of the Divan would still be ne- eeesary in order to form Greece into an independent State. Perhaps efforts are making to obtain from the PORTZ this important result, as an equivalent for the giving up of some pretensions to an extension of Frontier. But nothing is really decided." The Austrian Observer, of the I6th inst. received this day, gives us the subjoined report of the last affair be- I tureen the Turks and the Greeks, in Livadia. It may be proper to state that the Austrian paper takes this report from The Universal Gazette of Greece, dated the 7th Oct. The vast importance of this affair may be estimaia from the fact acknowledged by the General DE NI ST RI V 9 YPSILANTI, namely, that the Greeks had three men killed and twelve wounded !!! After the last attacks of the enemy in Levadla Mae Gene ral Demetrius Ypsilanti oceopled, with the regiments under his command, the strong position of Petra, In order to 'glider the enemy from advancing to the other puts; and thus to protect, as far as possible, the other provinces. The enemy, whose troops, regular and irregular, horse and foot, amounted to 7,000 men, bad Pelted themselves, on the slid September, at the distance of a cannon shot from that position ; and prepared to attack it, which they did on the 24th. We do not describe the glorious action, because we believe thai our readers will prefer the following extract from the Report of the General to the Government : •• At day-break—says be—on the 24th September, the Turks. ►aving a small detachment fa their fortified camp, advanced In a body against Petra, bringing with them four cannon to de stroy the entrenchments. The cavalry formed at the foot of Petra in two lines. The regular infantry, divided into two columns of equal strength, advanced against the intrenehmeots of r the second Chillarch, and of the Pentakosiared—G. Skurtanioti. The latter received them outside of the intrenchments. The action began; the cannonade continued without intermission; 300 re gular infantry and cavalry occupied the neighbouring village of Vrestemili, in order to cover the rear of the column advancing against Skurtanioti. All the Albanians marched against Masada The auxiliary corps of the garrison was obliged to occupy another eminence on the side of Vresdnsid. The Albanians advanced impetuously to within ten paces of the intreschments. At that moment the Chillarcha, Dyovuestoli, and Krualod came up with the greater part of their troops, and attacked the Albanians, just as they were going to storm, under the command of Asian Hey. By this, and the brave defence of the entrenchments, the attack was defeated—the Albanians repulsed; and, after an action of two hours, the Turks were compelled to abandon their positions, and to take flight amidst a heavy and Inc... sant are from the Greeks. At the same dme, S. Minos, the com mander of the garrison. attacked the enemy at Vresdmti, and drove them away with loss. " This glorious victory so far rewarded the bravery of the corps : but the safety of the Turks is to be ascribed to their numerous ca. vary, and the grape-shot of their cannon. Their loss la killed and wounded, especially among the Albanians, was great, as they afterwards confessed : among the killed was a Hekatontrich of the regular troops, and two Albanians, standard bearers.— The Greeks bad three men killed, and twelve woundid. The trophies of the victory are two standards and a good number of prisoners, who were afterwards exchanged for Greek peasants, who had been made prisoners. " The whole Turkish army has to-day left Kurupi, together with the garrison of Lavadia, under the command of the Tufechschl. baschl of Runtelia. He is followed by the whole of the 4th regi ment, and the Chillarsh N. [drilla, with 400 men more, with orders to occupy Fontana, as soon as It should be evacuated. " I consider it as my duty to represent to your Excellency the good cooduct and bravery of the officers and men. All the mea sures taken in this critical situatioo were duly executed. Tke in habitants are beginning to return to their Socks. Your Excellency's Commissioner (Count Augustin Capo d'lstrias) Is informed of every thing. My Aide-de-Camp, N. Kanusani, will deliver the two Turkish standards to your Excellency.—l am, &c. D. YPSILANTI KOLO3dUTA. " ilept.te, 11129." The Gazette adds :—" The defeat of the enemy would have led to their destruction, either by arms or famine, had they not ob tained a convention, by which they evacuate pan of Eastern Greece, and march without obstacle to These*. By the desire of Otsak Aga, it wu agreed that the sick in Kurupl, &c. should be removed without obstruction, as neither the General nor the Greek troops wish f or bloodshed; though they ardently desire the freedom and security of the provinces of Eastern Greece, which are In a deplorable state, and which would not be relieved by the destruction of the enemy, but by his retreat from them, as it Is only then that the inhabitants can begin to rebuild their huts and tin the ground, in order to procure at length their daily bread, and no longer be obliged to subsist merely oo grass (kerbs,)—end some times to be unable to find even that." The last accounts from Rena say, that Jacovaki Riso—(oste of the Secretaries to the late National Assembly at Argos)—was ap pointed Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, in the room of Spi ridion Tricupi ; and that the seat of Government would be shortly removed from Balm to Napoli di Romania.—Awniass Ob.

We are informed through a most credible and respect able channel, that the KING of Spain invited bis sister — the QUEEN dowager of Portugal—to be of his wedding party at Madrid, where FINDIN•ND was desirous to see all his family. The apostolicals, however, smelling a rat, forewarned the old beldam of Queluz not to suffer herself to be caught by such a bait, and to take good care not to be tempted out of Lisbon. The apostolical Junta detected at once the motive of this extraordinary Spanish invitation. The fact is, says our informant, that two foreign Cabinets—which for a long time have taken upon themselves to superintend the affairs of Spain and Portugal—had privately determined to make an end of this everlasting question of Mio um., by removing the Qt:Ezx altogether. She was not even to remain at Madrid, but to be sent without ceremony to take up her winter quarters in Italy. This condition, however, which appeared to the two Cabinets of primary and pressing importance for the arrangement which they premeditated, cannot have its effect, by reason that the QUEEN—apprised beforehand of the intention to decoy her away—will not on any consideration quit the presence of her favourite son. MACIELN sq—who has left no stratagem untried, which might conduce to the success of this plan—is visibly disappointed : the Ministers of Don him Lai. have made him feel the total impossibility of moving the Quxix, who refuses herself to all represen tations on that subject. We must confess that the Cabinets which hare addressed themselves to FLADINAND, have shown themselves profoundly ignorant of the springs of Spanish politics. The King of Sr at zr is no thing--absolutely nothing—the spustolicals are all in all: in other words, nothing is done but by their consent. The same ignorance they have displayed on the subject of Portugal. M --IGVEL is a mere automaton: the Qunn MOTHER governs, persecutes—depopulates Portugal. The Ministers of her son, are her Ministers : there is not a force in existence—nor that can exist — which is capable of compelling her to put one foot out of the kingdom. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. SPAIN.—MADRID. Nov. 13. His Majesty has just given the Grand Cordon of the order of Charles 111. to the four Ministers who had net received that favour--nansely. M. &Materna, H. Selman, the Marquis of Zam berane,* and H. de Salazar. M. de Calamarde obtained it long ago, and it appears that it is at Ms request. that his colleagues have been called to enjoy the same favour. M. de Medki is to arrive here to-day or to-morrow. The French Papers wish to maks us believe, that this Neapolitan Mi nister comes bare to meddle in our own affairs. I can assure you tbat nothing of the kind is thought of ; we think it very natural that the King of Naples should be desirous, on leaving his king dom, of having a confidential Minister near him. and therefore H. de kledki's arrival will surprise no one. The King of Spain has never thought necessary to call in any foreigner to help him in the administration of our affairs. and it would not be at a moment when the affairs of the kingdom begin for the first time to be carded on with regularity and success that His Wisely would conceive such an idea. The new mark of power and esteem that the King has given to his Ministers, proves bow well he knows bow to appteciate their honourable conduct, and the happy result of their efforts towards the public wed— Gaulle de France. Na. 2S. CITY. Twei.v. O'CLOC.II. The BEM who have been so roughly handled the last Account, are now on the gad seas, and advancing with great caution in their • future speculations. The Conant Market, which left of yesterday at 94 to j for Money, and 941 f for the Account, opened at the same price this morning; bet soon after the Market became rather fidgitty,andConsols receded to 941 for the Account.with little doing. Consols at present may be quoted at 94j 4, and 94 to j for Stoney ; The rise which took place in Consols late yesterday afternoon was owing to the notice sent down from Government in regard to the reduction of the interest of the Rzehequer BiUs to three half pence per day. The following is the substance of the above notice : —New Bills bearing an interest of one penny by the day upon every one hundred pounds, and dated IMb December, may be obtained in whole or in part payment of principal, upon stating the required amounts on the list delivered on or before the said 14th day of December ; which new Bills, with the interest on the BM exchanged, will be hued on the 19th day of December. A hint Is given by some of the speculators this morning, that in a few days we shall hear of some ether financial operations on the part of Go. 'refitment ; but this may only be a ruse de guerre to keep the mar ket alive. In the Foreign Market little business going forward at present. CITY, HALF-PAST ONL The British Market has been in a very unsettled state during the whole of the morning. Consols, in the early part of the day, were at 941 j for the Account; after which they reached 941 j, owing to two eminent brokers having purchased about two hundred thousand Consols ; but, contrary to the general expectation, Con sols immediately receded to 944. instead of a further improvement, and at present they are 944 1 for the Account, and 94 to j for Money : there being still a continuation of j per Cent. The extreme fluctuation to this hour is about I per Cent. In regard to political information, we have not any reports. In the Foreign Market little doing, except in Brasil Stock, which is net so good as In the early part of the day. Spanish la also ra ther worse. By an Express arrived this morning from Paris, we understand that Prince PoLicirac has obtained most of the departments in his favour, as well as the monied in terest ; and it is not doubted that at the meeting of the next Sessions he will obtain a great majority in the Cham bers. The Rentes come higher on ThursdAy, 84f. 60c. and expected to reach on the next day 85. M. de Ribeaupierre is expected every moment. Messrs. Gordon and Guilliminot continue to have fre quent conferences with the Reis Effendi. The Divan has managed to find a considerable sum of money and has sent it to the head quarters of General Diebitsch, who requires of his troops the most severe discipline. The slightest insult offered to the merchant men is punished with the knout ; a Greek who had struck an Iman has even been put to death ! His great severity is highly agreeable to the Sultan and his subjects.—Con stitutionae/, Nov. 25. LIVERPOOL, Nov. 26.—The Cotton Market is ex ceedingly firm, and if any alteration, prices are rather higher again this week, although the business doing is not to so great an extent. The sales were yesterday 2,500 to 3,000 bales 200 Babies 6id. a bid. 700 Ma =hams 6d. to 7d. 250 Egyptians, and about 300 Orleans, fine 60. to lid. Letters have been received from Constantinople, of the Ist November. Tranquillity then prevailed there. The Blonde was towed by a steamer to the arsenal, in which Sir Robert Gordon intended to give a grand fete in con sequence of peace. The following is an abstract of the Proclamation of tho President of Mexico :—He states that, being invested with the national authority to avenge the offences of a foreign tyrant, and inspired with the confidence of a just cause, and the undoubted bravery of the people, whose idol is independence, nothing can cause alarm in this war, which excites indignation among all his compa triots. The Republic is filled with brave men, who are anxious to come in contact with the enemy, and who will not acknowledge any other King than the law of the country. An Army of Operation, conducted by Gen. Santa Anna, and his brave Lieutenant-General Teran; also, an Army of Reserve, whose chief is the Vice-Presi dent, and in whose ranks are General Heresa, Anaga, Calderon, and Telesola; and an Army of the South , commanded by the brave General Montero, Alveroy, and Catalan, are all marching to the Isthmus of Gasacoalcas; and with the same activity, all other points, menaced by the enemy, will be reinforced. A numerous militia is also forming in camp.

At many of the late sheep fairs considerable numbers have been purchased for the purpose of being exported to Van Diemen's bind. We are unable to announce any material change in the trade of this district during the last week. The advance which has been obtained upon the raw material has not occasioned a corresponding rise upon yarns, the demand for which has lately been much lees active. The ship ments for the North of Europe are suspended for the pre sent by the approach of winter ; and the home manufac tures require much less than is usual when trade is in a _healthy condition. In manufactured goods, the sales con sist principally of low-priced articles for exportation. The borne trade is without any amendment, and there is now little prospect of its improving before Christmas. The wages of all classes of manufacturing labourers continue at the lowest point of depression.—MancAester Gazette.
