1 . p . I s LONDON. TO THE WUOR OF THE STAR. etit—Observing an article in a Morning Paper of this day, ' In which it was stated that the object of harms Las Cases visit to England, was to sell his father's manuscript, I feel myself called upon to state, that this assertion is nut correct. Early in September last, a friend of Court dt Las Casts applied to me re lative to the publication in question, ,and a few days after, being in Paris, I concluded the negociatien for the purchase, and sent , a part of the work to London. During my absence, I under stood theyoung Las Cars rolled, in company with Mr. O'Meara, fur the purpose of inspecting the Napoleon Memoirs, but he cer tainly took no part in the negotiation, and I have been assured that he never received any instructions whatever relative to the disposal of his father's work.

The French Papers of S.tturd, , y have been re. ceived. They do not contain any intelligence from the seat of war in Greece; and the news front Spain k not of much importance. The accounts from Verona in the French Papers • are to the 20th instant. The Emperor and Empress of AUSTRIA, and the Kings of PRUSSIA and SARDINIA, arrived in that city on the 15th instant. The Em peror of RUSSIA followed on the 17th instant. The opening of Congress, which was to have taken place _on the 18th, is postponed to the 22d, on account of the absence of the English Plenipotentiaries, who are not yet• arrived. The following Members of the Con-' grecs are already assembled: The Prince de Metternich, the 'Won de Leh:titers, tbetount de Spiegel, art the Chevalier de Gents t the Viscount de Mont_ moreacy. the Baron de Rarneval, and Count de Catawian ; Count de Nesselrode, Count Naze di Bono, the Senator Tatischell, Count de Mecenigo, lieutenant-General Count Czernicheff, and. several Councillors of State and principal i<lernbere of the Chan celleries ; Prince flardenberg, - Count de Bernstorff, the Prince de Hatsfeld, and Cardinal Spina. The French Journals contain little information as to the objects or views of the approaching Congress, but this deficiency we ate able to compensate for by intelligence derived from another channel, and on which we can rely. On Friday an extraordinary courier arrived at Paris from Verona, which place he left on the 19th inst. Though nothing has been yet done at Verona, yet the proceedings at Vienna settled some of the bases and laid the foundation for future discussion, which affords a prognostic of the manner in which these diplomatic deliberations will termi nate. The parties have already sounded each other o the most important points of future negociation.— The following is the latest and the best information on the subject yet made public : di It is asserted that the Emperor ALEXANDER is far frcm being pleased with the latter part of Lord MIKA N6FORD'S negotiations, and that his Imperial Majesty's dissatisfaction is proved by the reception be has given to the Noble Lord. Soon after the arrival of Lord STRANGFORD at Vienna, a note was pans- . spitted to the Ministers of the Four Powers by Count NaSSRLRODE, in which he commenced with reproach ing the British Ambassador to the Porte for not Yin as h, ,ught to have done the dignity of the -nergetically repelling the secretly instigated the first (ch had been so repeatedly ial Cabinet. the Note embraces three Wats, on the acceding to wMch t. sending of &Mi nister to Codstantinople was to depend: * The Bassin Government holds oat the abernethy, that the Divan shall either send a Plenipotentiary to,,s . thr Collgre" or by a series of fatty prove tts fltm. resolution to remote the db. positions announced in favoor of the Greeks. " e. It is insisted that the Di.= shall make an a n e w d a da. ration lb the Russian Government,of the nomination of the ilos podars, and of the evacuation of the Principalities of Wallachia 'and Moidavia b by the Turkish troops. "3. A demand is made, not only in favour of the Russian commerce, but of that of all other nations navigating under the Russian or any other Hag whatever, for the same advantages of free navigation to the Black Sea which they enjoyed before the Greek insurrection, but of which they have been deprived under the frivolous pretext, before stated., that Russia had given aid to the revolted Greeks. " This Note, which will form one of the first sub jects for the conferences at Verona, Will, lead to the adoption, in concert, by the Powers, of a new pro ceeding, the knowledge of which will probably be transmitted to the Porte through the medium. of Lord STRANGFORD, on his return to Constantinople. "The Spanish Charge d'Affaires at Verona,who was known to the Duke of WxmaNarox many years ago, has availed himself of that circumstance to procure an interview with his Grace, from which he hoped to draw some hints of the intentions of the Allies with regard to his Government, without putting forward his diplomatic character. Senor CAMICIRO accord ingly addressed a note .to the Duke of CIUDAD RODRIGO (the Duke of Wmaarrorori), in which he ex pressed his wish to pay his respects to him, and re quested his Grace to fix his hour. The Duke replied in a very obliging manner, and received him on the following day. His Grace himself speedily turned the conversation to the Spanish question, and with out any circumlocution declared to Senor CAMEIRO, that England was firmly determined not to allow an armed intervention in the affairs of Spain on the part of the other Powers, and that he had already frankly explained himself to the same effect in his communi• cations with the French Ministry; but he at the same time added, that this resolution would altogether de pend on two understood conditions :—First, that the Krtio should not be assassinated ; and, secondly, that the Government should renounce all attempts to pro pagate the principles of the Spanish Constitution in foreign countries. " Such is the version of this interview, as it is ad mitted by the Spanish Charge d'Affaires himself; but, as may he reasonably supposed, the partisans of the Anti-Constitutional system interpret these ex- , pressions of the Duke to be more favourable to theiti cause than their obvious import can warrpnt : b'ul from the turn which affairs are taking in Spain, these persons may be now considered as very insignificant." This declaration of the Duke of WELLINGTON, on the part of the British Government, is of the utmost importance ; and while it must have the effect of allaying the fears of the Constitutional party in Spain, it must be a death-blow to the hopes of the foreign and domestic factious who have sought to profit by exciting dissensions in the Peninsula. We were the first to express our belief that such would be the con duct of this Government in regard to the Spanish question; and we are happy, for the sake of justice, humanity, and our national character, to find that Great Britain will oppose the Holy Alliance in its designs against liberty in the Peninsula. Having noticed the political intelligence from Ve rona, we subjoin a private letter, which will be read with interest, as it contains some interesting particu lars respecting passing events in that city : " VIRONA, OCTORIR 17. " The high diplomatic personages, now assembled here, are expected to commence their deliberations this day. " Yesterday morning at nine o'clock, all the military were in 'motion preparatory to the arrival of the Emperor of Rossi; and at eleven they took their station along the principal street of the town, lining it on both sides from one end to the other. The route was the same which had been taken by the Emperor of Austria on the preceding day ; but upon this occasion the troops were drawn out In much greater numbers, and formed a more imposing display. Up to the hour of one o'clock, crowds of spec tators continued to assemble from all quarters, and among them the Duke of Wellington, who appeared in excellent health and spirits. His Grace was dressed in the costume of a plain Eng lish Gentleman, and walked zbout with his private Secretary, Lord Fitzroy Somerset, attentively regarding the troqps as be passed along. " At one o'clock preeieely * dissharge of artillery announced 1 that the Illustrious Visitor had entered the Porta St. Grorgio,' ri immediately after a grand State carriage, drawn by six beau tiful English horses, was seen advancing, upon which the military gave a Royal salute, and every spectator stood uncovered. The Emperor of Russia was soon recognized, and beside him sat his Austrian Majesty, wearing the star and Insignia of a Russian Order. Both Sovereigns were dressed in the Austrian uniform, the Emperor Alexander appearing as Colonel of a Hungarian Regiment, a rank which be has accepted from his Imperial bro ther. Their Majesties having arrived at the Emperor of Rus sia's Palace, took leave of each other for the moment ; and the Emperor Francis had scarcely returned to his abode, when his august ally drove off in a plain carriage to pay him a vi sit : they remained together some time, during which they were joined by the King of Prussia, the Viceroy of Italy, and some other illus trious personages. In the evening the town was splendidly illu minated ; and in many instances the magnificent architecture of some of the public edifices appeared to still greater advantage from the vivid glare that shone around. " The Amphitheatre was the only structure that was not lighted, and it stood in gloomy grandeur, enhancing each object with which it was associated, mad inviting a thousand reflections, such as none can experience but those who have a just perception of all that is great and venerable in one of the finest relics of an tiquity. Several of the windows exhibited illuminated lanterns, with what seemed to be the letter W. inscribed upon them ; but on inquiry I found, that each of the two divisions composing it was intended for a V, and that both were used as an abbreviation for the Latin word Vont. To the taming observer, this mode of writing is certainly•quite hieroglyphical. " The Opera was very gay last night, and :displayed a nu- sures and holdemble:swemblage 41elasekbe4 rernisarte collected together from an parts of Enrage. Enigma. were: everrwhere to be seen ! some in splendid liniforms, bat the' greeter part dressed en bourgeois. They live here in *style Of princely magnificence, and It Is observed, that they spend more money than almost all the other visitors put together. The Duke of Wellington and Lord Fitzroy Somerset sat in one of the side boxes, where they were joined by Mr. Lamb, our Minister at Frankfort, and Mr. Seymour, one of the Secretaries attached to the Embassy: Prince Metternich, and some of the members of his chanceflerie, occupied a box immediately near the stage, and in the one nett to litm sat Count Nesselrode, Count Polito di Borge, and M. Tatischer, the late Russian Minister at Madrid. The two principal functionaties of the Imperial Cabinets were frequently seen whispering together, and seemed to pay but little attention to what was going forward on the stage. 1 ‘ Among the Ro yal personages present were the Grand Duchess of Tuscany and the consort of thelficeroy of Lombardy, both very fine women, and both considered equally amiable.— They were dressed in a style of elegant simplicity, Infinitely more becoming than all the studied embellishments that could be deitsed. Prince Leopold of Slay, an athletic looking per ;onage, with red hair, sat 1* one of the boxes directly opposite, attended by an Aid-de-Camp.• His brother, the Crown Prince, will not make his appearance here—it is said he is looked %Ilion with suspicion, in consequence of the part he took against the Austrians. Count Golowkin, the Russian Minister at the Court of views, has just sent in his resignation, after having acted there foe the last four years. " Verona, at this moment, exhibits a most brilliant appear ance ; the presence of the Sovereigns has drawn hither so much company, that it is difficult to obtain lodgings, the price of which .is very exorbitant. One of the Ministers was under the neces sity of paying 4,000 francs per month fora very moderate apart mei* The Jews of Laybach have come to Verona, have mo nopolized all the lodgings, let them at their own price to fo .reigners, and even to the Sovereigns themseivesi so that part of the money spent at Cdngress will find its way back to Laybach." This forenoon we received a Flanders Mail, bring ing Papers to the 2,,d instant. They contain extracts from the Oriental Spectator, relating to the affairs of the Greeks, and all of course to their disadvantage. The Editor labours industriously to spew that he is no enemy to the Greeks, and asserts that he has de tailed nothing but the truth, although it is notorious that this Journal has published the most gross fa brications of Turkish successes. Oars 16.—Metalliques, 86—Bank Shares, 9001. — After 'Change was over the bletalliques rose to 87. New York Papers, to the 30th of September, arrived this morning. NEW YORK, SEPTEMBER 30. FROM CURACOA.—By the brig Matteawn we have received letters to the 12th instant. On the 26th of August tieneral Morales passed Curacoa, with fifteen sail, having on board 1100 men, destined to act against Maracaibo. The next day they landed at Los Tagues, ten miles to the eastward of Coro, to . make up a band of Guerillas ; but they were so warmly re ceived by the troops composing the garrison of Ca robolo, that they were obliged to make a precipitate retreat with the loss of BS men. They then steered to the eastward. On the 10th instant part of the expedition was dis embarked at Brahunda, and a pillage was com menced. From the reception, however, that they met with from the aborigines of the country, they thought pi oper to te-embark, and try the strength of Bassora, which place they took possession of. The Colombian forces marched from Coro on the 20th August, for the protection of Maracaibo ; ac counts from which place to the 10th inst. state that they were prepared to meet the enemy. Morales's fleet is said to pursue a system of piracy. A Dutch brig and a schooner, belonging to Ceracoa , were captured by them on the 80th of August, and robbed of every article. The Spanish schooner Tasso arrived at Curacoa on the 11th inst. from Porto Rico, and informed that General Latour had arrived at that place. It is also stated, that the American schooner Alligator had captured, on the 6th August, the Spanish piratical brig Poloma, Of 16 guns and 180 men; the loss is stated to have been severe on both sides. The Dutch armed brig Heneritta arrived at Curacoa on the 4th, from Amsterdam, with orders from the Dutch Court to the Governor of Curacoa to admit the Colombian flag. dicating as he ought to nay, Russian Government, by et vague allegation of having s thing of the Grcel; whic r I I brought against the Itupc6 4 ' The subsoluent part of *MI BOSTON, SEPTEMBER 27. By the brig Charles, from Calcutta, we have re ceived Pipers to the 30th of April. It was reported the Mauritius' Island was to be restored to the French by the English, in exchange for Corsica. A fire at Surat destroyed 4,000 huts, and property to the amcunt of 40 lacs. The cholera morbus has made its appearance again in India. On the King's birth-day a number of prisoners were liberated at Calcutta, some of whom had been SO years in confinement.-- The establishment of telegraphs in India has been commenced. FROM THE HEW YORK GAZETTE OF SEPTEMBER SO. We congratulate.our fellow-citizens on the favour able reports of our Beard of Health—there was only one City case reported on Saturday, and none yesterday. A passenger in the. French brig FAzerna, which arrived at Charleston on the 17th instant, from Vera Cruz, mentions that everything was quiet in Mexico,. under the conduct of Iturbide, and the people satis fied. The only fort held by the Royalists was the Castle of St. Juan de Ulloa. FROM Rio JANE I RO. —Captain Gill, of the Charles. ton packet, informs, that the Brazilians were block ading the port of Bahia with a small squadron, and were also besieging it by land. CHARLESTON, SEPTEMBER A number of seamen, who had been recruited in this city contrary to the laws of the United States, for the Colombian private armed schooner Mary, were stopped in the act of embarking to join her, and the officer who . assisted in enlisting theirs was arrested laud committed to prison. BRIGHTOI4I, OCTOBER 27. His MAJESTY arrived last evening at 20 minutes after seven o'clock, and it gives us unfeigned pleasure to add, in good health. The Life Guards (four ti oops) and the Sd Fusileers (four companies), the fore cr commanded by Colonel LYGON, and the latter by Colonel Sir E. BLAICENET, received his MAagsry on the north road to the Palace, the band, trumpets, and horns, sounding the National Anthem, while the co lours of the respective corps swept the ground. b e Duke of CAUSRIDGE met his MAJESTY, as he alighted from his carriage, at the Palace-hall door. The meet ting was affectionate. The attendance of Nobility to pay their respects to his MAJESTY to-day, by leaving their names at the Palace, was very great. Divine Service, in the presence of his TAJE , ,..r7, Royal Duke, and Household, was performed at ti.z Palace this morning. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE will leave England for Hanover, on the 10th of the ensuing month, ac companied by the Princes AUGUSTA.

COVENTGARDEN.—a•LaSt night, after the perform anus of The Beacrar's Opera, a new one act Piece, en , - titled The Irish Tutor ; or, New Lights,v. as produced. Its principal character, Teddy O'Rou,ke, alias Dr. O'Toole, which was ably supported by Mr, CONNOR, is a mixture of Dr. Pang-loss, Gradus, and Lingo; and the situations are highly farcical. Tilltrell (Mr. CITAPNAN) is desirous of having his son's education finished; and, neglecting the village schoolmaster (Mr. BLANCHARD), engages a grave Doctor, at art income of 2001. with permission to be at the head of the table. Teddy (a fcotman) in his endeavour to get the place, pretends to a knowledge of the Clas sics, and urges his previous avocations as enabling him to put it " polish" on young master's manners. —Dressed in his master's apparel, and .self-dubbed Doctor, he appears in Mr. Tiltreles house ; but the maid discovers him as O'Rourke, the master discovers him at the maid's feet, and the village schoolmaster, in arguing with him about "the new light" that had broke in on the learned world, is answered " that sl:e gas lights are brilliant enough, only they smell rather unpleasant at times!" Exposure follows exposu;r. and is made good use of. The Irish Tutor produced much merriment, and there is no doubt will become a favourite. In the Melodrama of Ali Pocha an apo logy was made for Miss FOOTE, who was confined by a severe cold, and Miss Love, who undertook the part of Helena at a short notice, succeeded so well to produce reiterated marks of approbation from the audience.—The House was well attended. baunit-LANE.—Last night Mr. YoI.7NG perforred Rolla, in Pizarro, to an audience, which, by its num ber and brilliancy f evinced the high admiration whicit his masterly exertions in that character have excitod. He went through the part with his usual exceiience, and was rewarded by the most enthusiastic plaudits. Giovanni in London followed, and kept the audience together till the falling of the curtain. THE SURREY.—This Hose was completely filed last night before the rising of the curtain. The hies nal Secret, as usual, went off with considerable e'clat„ and the performance of the wounded horse was ad mirable. The entertainments concluded o ith 7h? Barber; or, The Mill of Bagdad, and the whole was announced for repetition amid shouts of applause. Titles are become so common on the Continent, and the Noblesse multiply so fast in numbers, that it will soon be ditfallt to find a Gentleman, particularly in thrtuult.
