AMERICA. Remarkable Address of General JAcKsoN, to his' Soldiers, on the breaking up of the Southeto Attn:- : •.. Head-quarters, South Division, Montpelier, May.3l. - This day, Officers and Soldiers, closes my military functions, and consequently dissolves the military connection which has hi therto existed between yott and myself, as the Commander of the Southern Division of the Army of the United States. Many of us have possessed tog( ther days of toil amlauglits of vigilance.— Together, we have seen the termination of one British, and two Indian wars, in which we leave encountered fatigues, privations, and dangers. Attachments and friendships, formed• by associa tions of this kind, are the most durable, and my feelings will not permit me, in retiring from my military command, to take a silent leave of my companions in arms " Justice to you, and to my own feelings, requires that I should place before our common country the testimony of my approbation of your military conduct, and the expression of my individual regard. Under the present organization fur th,e re duc:ion of the army, agreeably to. the Act of Congress, many valti..ble Officers who have served with me, have been suddenly deprived of the profession which they had embraced, and thrown upon the world. But let this be your consolation, that the gra titude of your country still cherishes you as her defenders and deliverers, While wisdom condemns the hasty and ill-timed po licy which has occasioned your disbandment, and that too while security was yet to b,: given to our extensive frontier, by the erc:rion ~f the tieee , =ary fortifications for its defence, greatly ex tetidA as that homier has beets by the recent acquisition of the Florida". But you, fellow-schin•rs, have that winch cannot be taken nom you, the consciousness of having done your duty, and, sa jib y,ur brother Officers who are retained, of having de fended the Anteri;:an .1 7 ..g1e where it was endangered. " To you, my brother Officers, who are retained in the ser vice of your conotry, permit me to recommend the cultivation of that harmony and friendship toward% each other, which will render you a band of brothers. It is your duty so to conduct yourselves on all occasions, as that your enemies shall have no Just cause for c , nst:re. ft ought wbe borne in mind that every Captain should be to his Company as a father, and should neat it as his family. as his children. Continue, then, as betrtofore,, when under my command, to watch over it with a father' •dtrness and rare. Treat them like children; admonish them ; u:;s1 if, unhappiiy, admonition will not have the desired effect, coercion must. Tice wait of discipliue and order will inevitably produce a spirit at insuborditiation, as destructive to the army as cowardice, and win :.s certainly lead to dLustrr and di;r::ce in the hour of battle ; this, as you regard your military reputa tion mid your country's good, you must prevent. linFloring from lIKAVEN a bit dsing upon you all, I bid you aa affectionate adieu: " AN DB EW JACKSON,.Major-General, • Commanding the Division of the South." THE GREEKS AND TURKS. FROM TIIE FRONTIERS OF MOLDAVIA, SEPT. 20. The cause of the Greeks in Moldavia seems for the present to be nearly ksperate; GOO Turks having advanced on the 17th towards the mountains, three hundred Hetaiists, with their chief leaders, Jordaki and Farmaki, threw themselves into the Convent of Sika, situated to the N.W. of Nyamz, at the foot of the mountains, which is provided with ammunition and provisions for some months. The rest of the Hetarists dispersed among the mountains; 130 of them are to day hefsne the Austrian Quarantine Office at Bujas cheskie, and desire to be admitted into the Bukowina, which will not be granted as long as they are armed. The Convent of Sika has been formally besieged by the Turks since the evening of the 17th ; but as they have only light artillery, and the walls are very strong, they have hitherto done nothing, and have lost many men by the skill of the marksmen of the Hetaiists. In a sally which this handful of men made, they took from the Turks two bad cannon. The Turks amuse themselves from time to time with attempting to storm the place, in which they get only broken heads.. According to the assurance of some Caloyers (Greek Monks) who have fled hither, they have al ready lost above one thousand men. The night before last we clearly saw a large fire near Sika. —lt was said die Turks had burnt a barn before the Convent, and erected a battery there. The Hetarists would have dispersed long ago, had not Miadin, who is well known by die Sex mit insurrection, constantly deceived them. Even in August he affirmed that the Russians would certainly come, and that they ‘N ould only have to hold out four weeks longer. It seems, however, that the Russians will not come this year. I lately saw, on a journey in Transylvania, above 300 Hetarists going to Bessarabia, who understood nothing but Russian. A Greek, who lately escaped from Constantinople, affirms, that within these five months not fewer than 90,000 Greeks had been put to death in that capital. ODESS.%, SEPTEMBER 18. After a momentary interruption, a convoy of thirty vessels has arrived, which left Constantinople on the 11th September. They had many Christian families on board. The letters which they bring, state, that the Turkish fleet, united with the squadron of Egypt and Algiers, has gained, near Santarino, some ad vantage over the Greeks, and has sailed for the blot ea. Though' the Courlam Banam has passed over quietly, and no fresh outrages have been committed against the Greeks, the greater part of the shops in the Bazaar remained closed, and the answer from St. Petersburgh was daily expected with great anxiety. This evening a report is in circulation, which ori ginates with a Captain of a ship who left Constanti nople on the 15th (that is, only three days ago), and which states, that the Sultan had issued a Hatti Scha riff, commanding all Mussulmen to take up arms.— If this report should be confirmed, it must be sup posed that the Poi te had already received the answer of our Court, and did not find it satisfactory.—A Hatti Schariff, calling the Mussulmen to arms, does not take place in Turkey except on the greatest occa sions, when the life of the Sultan or the Mahometan religion is in danger. FROM THE BANKS OF THE MAINE, OCT. 1. The result of the operations of the Commercial Committee of Darmstadt do not allow us to entertain any well-founded hopes of seeing the wishes addressed to it by the Society of Merchants and Manufacturers realised. However well disposed the Govern:rents may be to comply with them, they meet with one ob stacle which it is not easy to remove. Their revenues arc partly calculated on the amount of the duties le vied on their frontiers, and the receipts would cer-' tainly diminish if there were no duties levied except on the external frontier of the Confederated States. In Bavaria, for instance, the net revenue of the dirties is estimated at two millions and a half. If the duties hitherto levied on goods, the produce of the several Confederated States, were abolished, and only those articles taxed . which came from States not be longing to the Confederation, it would be necessary, to cover the deficit, to tax those last much higher. But the result would be, that the consumption of these articles would greatly diminish, which would accord w i t h the wishes of the manufacturers of the country, but would not cover the decrease of the receipts on %shish. the State has hitherto Calculated.

The following are extracts: Tuesday, being the anniversary of the death of the unfortunate Queen MARIE ANTOINETTE, a solemn Funeral Service was performed in the apartments of the KING, and in the principal Churches in Paris. It is stated in the Gazette de France, on the autho rity of private letters, that the fever had manifested itself at Leghorn. It is said to be in contemplation to form an esta blishment in Paris which will render great services to cnrninerce. It is to form a telegraphic correspond ence between Paris and all the sea-ports along the coast, and which may be carried on during the night as well as in the day. By the experiments already made, it is calculated that in five minutes they can correspond from Paris to Bourdeaux. It is added, that a Company have offered to make all the neces sary advances 1,4- this establishment. A letter from Augsburg states, that the Emperor of RussiA, accompanied by Count CAP° DISTRIA, had arrived at Witepsk, where he was met by Baron STROGONOFF, who was well received by the Emperor. The new Constitution of the Duchy of Coburg was published with great solemnity on the 6th inst. An article from ZAnte, of the Bth of September, gives the following account of the sufferings of a Turkish garrison in Monembaisia : " This town, situated at the extremity of the Gulf of Argos, was invested by tht Greeks in the early part of April, and the Turks, taken by surprise, had but a small stock or provisions for their families.— They dispatched vessels to Constantinople, to Smyrna, and to Candia, to inform the Government and the neighbouring Pachas of their situation, and to solicit assistance ; but all these were intercepted by the Greeks. The Turkish Commander then limited the rations of provisions to three ounces of bread daily for each individual. They also drank the oil that was found in some of the cellars in the town. "No succours an lying, the inhabitants resorted to the flesh of horses, mules, asses, and even rats, be came an object much sought after; at length, some men who were perishing of hunger resolved to eat human flesh. " The besiegers, unable to reduce the place, con ducted each day some Mahometan prisoners to the ramparts, where they put them to a thousand tor tures. This did not, however, make the besieged capitulate, and they must all have perished of want if the soi-disant Prince CAUTACUZENE had not ar rived before the town. ig On the 15th July, Monembaisia was taken, and the unfortunate Turks who remained, after so obsti nate a defence, were abandoned on one of the desert Islands of the Cyclades. M. de BouFonr, the French Agent at Scala Nuova, in Asia Minor, being in formed of their distress, hastened to their relief with a vessel laden with provisions, and saved them from perishing." Letters from Calamatta, in the Morea, confirm the news of the surrender of Monembaisia; and add, that the Greeks found 120 pieces of artillery, 10,000 muskets, and a large quantity of ammunition in the place. On the 25th of August. Novarin, one of the most important towns in the Morea, surrendered to Prince DEMETRIUS YPSILANTI. The Greeks found in the place 60 pieces of cannon, eight mortars, 2,000 mus kets, and a large quantity of ammunition. The princi pal mosque was immediately converted into a church. A private letter front Vienna, of the 6th October, in the Journal de Pais, states, that one of the ancient Servian Chiefs, General MLADEN Mmortanowastt, has for some time back bad agents in Servia endea vouring to excite an insurrection in favour of the Greeks. The General has long been proscribed by the Turks, who have set a price upon his head. They write from Warsaw, that the Minister Secre tary of State, 13 igadier-General Kosreccar, has written a military work on a plan for attacking Turkey. It is dedicated, by permission, to the Em peror ALEXANDER. • Mention is made of a victory gained by some Al banians over the Turks, commanded by COURCHILD PASHA; and the death of ALI PASHA is announced f,:r the tenth time. Tuesday being a holiday, the Paris Journals do not contain any statement of the Funds on that day. Amid the conflicting statements which the foreign Journals contain relative to the cause of the creeks, it becomes difficult to ascertain the real state of the warfare. It long since became evident, that unless the Greeks gained a considerable accession of force, that they would not be enabled to contend with the armies of the Porte, but it was still expected that they might maintain the dominion of the sea ; and, if they could not conquer, at least obtain favourable terms from their enemies. The latest accounts from Turkey have, however, overturned that expectation. The intelligence from Constantinople up to the 15th ult. and which is confirned by an article in the Austrian Observer, prove the superiority of the Turkish fleet, since it is now reinforcing and provi sioning the Tut kish fortresses along the coasts of the Morea, a service which it certainly would not be per mitted to execute were the Greeks sufficiently strong to prevent it. Towards the middle of last month the Turkish fleet, consisting of thirty-six sail, was at Novatine, a port on the South-western coast of the Alm ea, and was preparing to sail northwards, in order to convey supplies to the different garrisons in that direction. It is further stated in the Austrian Observer, that a report was current at Corfu on the 23d ult. that the Greeks had been beaten at sea, in the neighbourhood of Candia, and th..t their fleet had been dispersed. GOLJRSIIID PASIIA, who commands in chief the Turkish forces in Livadia and the Morea, is said to have reduced the different bands of Insurgents in those two Provinces, which enabled him to open a communication with the Turkish army employed in the siege of Janina. ' In effecting this service, he was, though at the head of 15,000 men, opposed by a large body of Greeks, who were defeated after an obstinate action, and lost their artillery. A body of Greeks, who were marching to the sac. cout of Au PASIIA, had halted on receiving int:lli gence of the defeat of their brethren in arms by the Turks, and had determined to wait for reinforcements before they ventured to proceed. In the meantime, GOURSHID PA SII A, having subsequently been rein forced from Bosnia, is said to have resumed offensive operations on every point. Au PA snA,the most formidable enemy with whom the Turks have now to cope, is devoting the ma. sures which he amassed in more fortunate times, to secure all the assistance he can procure in the last stage of his fortunes; and as he possesses great ta lents and much cunning, the conflict may be long and severe before he submits, or is defeated. This daring Chief, whose hair-breadth escapes have been innumerable, is, in a letter from Vienna, again reported to be dead. The French Papers of this morning bring intelli gence of some fortresses which have surrendered to the Greeks, and it is even rumoured that 'the Alba nians have gained a victory over GOURSIIID PASHA. But these are not advantages of sufficient importance to give much hopes of a consummation so devoutly to be wished as the triumph of the Greeks. His Royal Highness the Duke of Yonic is enjoying the amusement of the turf at Newmarket.. _ _ _ Yesterday, the Marquis of CAMDEN arrived at his house in Arlington-street, from Bath; • his Lordship being Recorder of the above city, gave a grand ding ner to the Corporation previous to his departure. This day his Lordship left town to join the Marchioness and family at Bayham Abbey, in Sussex. Yesterday, the Marquis of WORCESTER left Strath. fieldsay for Bodminton, the seat of the Duke of BEAU FORT, in Gloucestershire. COVENT GARDEN.—The Coronation of the Em press Elizabeth of Russia attracted a very full au dience last night. FARREN and YOUNG performed their parts with their usual excellence. WEST LONDON THEATRE.—This brilliant, though unobtrusive little House, is drawing large audiences every night, by the variety of performances, and the spirit with which they are produced. An Opera, founded on the romantic adventures of Rob Roy and the Osbaldestoncs; seems a decided favourite the: e. It' was performed last night with great success ; and, though only an abstract and brief chronicle of the original story, it gives an admirably characteristic development of the principal events in it.—A very pretty Afterpiece, called The Orphan of France, was the other performance of the evening ; and the asto nishineconvolutions of 11 Diavolo Antonio formed admirable interlude for the lovers of the wonderful.

The planets Jupiter and Saturn approximate now so nearly to each other, that the. former was on the meridian last night at 58 minutes past eleven, and the latter at 52 minutes past the same hour. Yesterday, as the shopman of Mr. PARKER, a sil versmith, in Charles-street, Middlesex Hospital, was taking a pair of loaded pistols from, a case, one of them went off, when the ball crossed the street into Suffolk Mews, and struck against a wall. A man was going along the street at the time, when the ball passed within two inches a his head. THE KING'S VISIT-TO 11.1NOVET. • PRIVATF. LETTP.R.

The Office c4 of the army, 15(X) in number, gave a grand Co lton by torch-light, or, as it is called in German,fi c ii mask. The Officers assembled at Herrenhausen, a4 there 1.54 X) torches were lighted, and given to Ism I soldiers, and all shouted Mara !—Heil, m um , Koenig, Heil !—(Gov save the King!) The bath e ( several regiments then struck up the favour - item. tional air:, and the music continued to play for seve n ( hours. The torch-bearers then proceeded to an op a space, where all the torches were thrown into a and around the great fire GOD save the King! Tra' sung with transport. The condescension of the KING is the theme d much praise among all classes here. At Osnabruck a poor woman threw herself upon her knees befi t his MAJESTY, and implored mercy for her litubot who was under sentence for the rbmmission of seze crime. The KING caused inquiry to be made intotht case, and having found some circumstances !arc a able to the culprit, granted Lim a free pardon. Among the transparencies which were exhibit( on the houses of the middle classes, there was o t on a house said to be that of a tailor, which affotki some amusement from its quaintness: Ich hab tin Urines gerade, Mein gel/ and Hemel ist mur klein Doch hielkt mich Gott mid kcenigs gnaile, So wird mit. bald gehulfen seyn. . .. The following translation, although not rhythi, cal, will afford some view of the original: • I have a little house just here, my money and my mut only mall ; yet if Gm will help, and the King will favort% things will soon grow much better." Whether the tailor will have his wish fulfilled, it is difficult to say ; but it would be equally dificsk not to laugh at the inscription. On another house appeared a Phceniz rising fns its ashes, with the words underwritten• Neu erstand Renowned arose Das niterland. Z Our native country. The restoration of Hanover to its ancient Princes, was well described in the transparency. Anothet transparency represented Britannia leading Hanover as an infant to the heights of fame and Owl.
