Letters from Odessa, of the 14th August, an nounce the arrival there, on the night preceding, of Baron STEGGONOFF and suite. Count LANGERON, the Governor, immediately dispatched couriers to Admiral ORLOFF, Commander of the fleet at Sebas topol; to Count WITTGENSTEIN, Commander-in- Chief in 13;:ssarabia ; and to St. Petersburgh. An article dated Santa Maura (lonian Isles), states, among other things, of which the writer is well as sured, that the Senate of Calimatia has addressed a Manifesto to all the Powers of Europe, making known the political existence of the Greeks as a free and independent nation, as also the flag it has chosen, which is the libarwn of the Caesars, or the Cross tri umphant.—Freuch 5 per Cents. Thursday, 85 fr. 55 c. Madrid Papers to the 27th ult. arrived last night. They announce another resignation, that of the Se cretary at War, Don TIIOI6IAs MORENO Y DAOI7. The rerson appointed to be his successor is Lieute- i nant-t iei,et al Don DIEGO CONTADOR—a man almost incapable, it i, alleged, of discharging the duties of his office, on account of his advanced age. The mo tives of thiS change are involved in mystery. We shall be sorry should it turn out to be another con cession to poi ular violence. By accounts horn Barcelona of the 18th ult. it ap pears, that the total number of deaths had been 28, ♦iz.-18 up to the 14th inclusive, tl►ree on the 15th, three on the 16th, and four on the 17th; the number of sick on the 18th was 18, that is, four less than on the preceding day, there having been, it seems, no new cases. On the 14th, 15th, and 16th, the new cases were nine, and the deaths also nine, so that the num ber of patients remained at 22. Jamaica Papers were this morning received to the 28th July. They contain no news, nor any particu• lars of the late engagements on the Spanish Main, which have not been anticipated by the American Papers. TRANSFERENCE OF THE FLORIDAS TO IHE UNITED STATES. (TIVI)I Tut lOAID OT TIM NEW ENGLAND covres-idoesy..) Estract of a letter from Philadelphia, August 10: --Ig At length I am happy to inform you that the fleet, with the Spanish troops, sailed from Augustine fin the Havannah, on the 17th of July ; it consisted of ten sail of vessels: the number of troops on board w•as nearly 500, and the number of Civil Officers and persons attached to Government, including their families, was 200." A Dutch Mall has brought us, this forenoon, Haarlem Courants to the Bth inst. The following are extracts: HAARLEM, AUGUST S. Amounts from Stockholm of the 24th August, say, that the Government has sent instructions to the Swedish Ambassador at Constantinople, M. de Palin, to exert himself, in co-operation with Russia, to put an end, if possible, to the war between the Turks and the Greeks, and the scenes of cruelty which result 'from it. M. de Palin has long filled that post, and enjoys great esteem at Constantinople. AMSTERDAM, SEPTEMBER 6. Letters from Curacoa of the 2d July, say, that the Indians, embracing the part of the Spaniards, have s urprised and dispersed the Insurgents who formed the garrison of Coro. Two Mails from Hamburgh arrived this forenoon, with Papers to the 4th inst. One of them (the Corres pondent), contains various communications from Brunswick, relative to the funeral of the late Queen of ENGLAND. The last of these articles, containing the account of the ceremonies in the Church, the prayer delivered by the Rev. Mr.WoLYE, &c. concludes thus : " It may be boldly asserted that on the celebration of this funeral, everything was done in every quarter that could be expected. The Government had acted in all its arrangements with the great judgment for which its Members ate distinguished, and so arranged the funeral precisely in the same manner as that of the immortal CHARLES WILLIAM FERDINAND. The, inhabitants of Brunswick, by their conduct, have' justly entitled themselves to the respect of all judi cious and feeling persons, and the English present conducted themselves so that they did not leave the city without some regard and esteem." HIS MAJESTY'S VISIT TO HANOVER. HANOVER, AUG UST 29. Today the workmen have begun to build the triumphal arch through which the King will make his entry into this city. The guard of honour, on horseback, exercises every day. Guards of honour, can horseback, are in like manner forming in all the towns of the kingdom through which the King will pass. At Gottingen a part of the students are prac tising to perform a Carousel. The horsemen, eight in number, who will perform in this kind of tourna ment, are to be babited in the Spanish costume. Bermuda Papers to the 22d July have been re ceived.. It appears from one of them, that a new source of commerce has arisen in the West India Islands, of much importance as regards their prifa- eon of intercourse with the United Stars, tinder the operation of the Navigation Act. Cargoes of corn have ,arrived from the coast of Africa, which will amply repay the importer, at the low price of one quarter of a dollar the bushel. It is described to be of a good quality, and similar to the flat corn of the Northern States of America, but of a kernel smaller and whiter. It is added, that a petition has been forwarded to England by the West India Planters and Merchants, praying that a direct trade may be allowed, in British ships, to and from the Baltic.— By this means, it is said that our West India Islands will obtain their needful supplies of lumber and staves on better terms than they have done lately ; and, among other advantages, the ships will not in• cur a risk of losing their sailors by desertion, which was too often the case formerly, when trading to the American ports. Should the wishes of the West In dia Merchants and Planters be realized, it follows that their great commercial competitor, America, by its restrictive policy, will only have forced them into a more lucrative way of di-posing of West India pro duce, and of obtaining requisite supplies for the Colo nies. The disagreement between G overnor Lum LEY and the inhabitants of Bermuda still exists to as great an extent as ever. An instance of his mode of proceed ing is given in these Papers, which, if faithfully re-1 lated, proves him to be very deficient in that temper and discretion which should actuate all who hold the reins of Government. A claim having been made by the Pastor of Hamilton on some of the inhabitants, for the payment of ecclesiastical dues, it was resisted by them with much pertinacity, on the ground of il legality, and two years bad elapsed without any pro .pect of bringing the affair to an issue. The Pastor on this appealed to the Governor, who, on hearing his statement, ordered instant payment of the dues claimed ; but the parties proving refractory, were ar rested by some of the soldiery, acting, as presumed, under his Excellency's orders, and confined iii their• Church, and from thence, still refusing payment, were carried, under military escort, to prison. Friday, their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Du chess r f CLARENCE, accompanied by the Duke of SAxE-MEININGEN, and their suites, arrived at Wind sor Castle from Bushy Park, where theaoyal visitors . viewed the Castle and the Round Tower. Their Royal Highnesses afterwards stopped at Frogmore on their return home, and viewed that fine place. By Papers from Baltimore of the 10th August, we learn that advices were received there from St. Tiro• mass, which state that a French vessel had sailed from that island with two females on board, and were reported to have with them two millions of dol lars; they were captured by a three-mast lugger, and all on board, except one, were murdered. Accounts hare arrived from Madeira of Ore middle of July. It was supposed that some fresh regulations would be adopted, imposing a duty on foreign flour, wheat, and other grain, hitherto imported duty free. The three Deputies, who had been elected at Madeira, under the new Constitution, had sailed for Lisbon, and carried with them the remonstrances of the people against the enormous duties imposed by the United States on Madeira wines. It was supposed that a countervailing duty would be laid on certain articles the produce of the United States. Accounts had arrived at St. Michael's, that the Governor of Terceira (who had been under confinement for re fusing to consent to the new order of things) had been publicly murdered in the streets, with several others. The British ship Royal George, with a Governor for New South Wales, sailed from Madeira on the 10th of June. LONDON QUARTER SESSIONS.—This morning the Quarter Sessions of the Peace for the City of London, were opened at Guildhall, before the LORD MAYOR, Aldermen T. SMITH, Cox, VENADLES, GARRATT, and ATKINS, the CoMSION SERJEANT, and City Offi cers. The Grand Jury were sworn in, and received the charge from the COMMON SERSEANT (in the ab sence of the RECORDER). The Learned Gentleman paid many handsome compliments to the activity of the Police, and congratulated the Jury upon the small ness of the Calendar, during the long vacation. The Petit Jury were sworn, for the purpose of trying a variety of minor cases, and a number of persons com mitted under the Police Act. DRURY-LANE TIIEATRE.—A new Melo-Drame, in three acts, was produced on Saturday night, en titled Geraldi Duval. The plot turns upon the vin dictive devotedness of this hero to retaliate the slight shewn to his former advances by Ethelind, wife of Count Altenberg, a Bohemian Nobleman. The story is from one of Mrs. Oete's Tales, called the Ruffian Boy. That Lady professes to have founded it on an incident taken from a French Newspaper. A young caitiff, not more than fourteen years of age, had asked a young Lady to dance with him at a Ball. On being refused, he retired to a neighbouring tavern, drank wine to intoxication, returned to the Ball-room, and stabbed, by mistake, the intimate friend of her whose repulse had thus inflamed his ferocity. Mrs. OPIE supposes him to be liberated after the fifteenth year of his confinement, and then puts him upon a series of romantic and vengeful exploits, which ter minate in his public execution. The Drama pursues the same clue of incidents with little variation, ex cept in the close. There the miscreant, Duval, having forcibly captured the Countess, is shot by a file of musketry in the act of raising Isis arm to launch the long-promised dagger into her breast. The story is not well chosen, even for a Melo-Drame, having only incidents of sadhge and unchequered blackness, which rest for their interest on a very slight degree of probability. The Piece has been well got up. All that scenery of beautiful representatiou and most tasteful execution could effect, has been done for it. The parts were well disposed to secure success. Mr. COOPER performed Duval impressively. Mrs. EOER TON sheaved her best skill in heightening the part of Barbara, wife to one of the banditti, with whom Du vat is in league, her chief business being the betrayal of the cavern to the Count Altenberg. Mr. BARNARD played the Count very respectably. KNIGHT put off much of his comic humour in the part of a servant, which would have been very inconsiderable in other hands than his. There was some agreeable sinning by Mrs. BLAND, M SS CUBITT, and the chorus. "11re music does much credit to Mr. T. COOK, especially one Bacchanalian chorus given by the robbers. The performance was given out for repetition this even ing with nearly universal applause. The Piece is , said to beAhe production of a Mr. WALKER. THE KI.VG, FROM OUR PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT. DUBLIN, SEPTEMBER 6. Although his MAJESTY took public leave of his Irish subjects on Monday, and embarked on board his yacht, the Royal George, he is still detained in our Bay by an adverse wind. On Tuesday the ltoyal fleet got under weigh, but after proceeding nearly off Wicklow, was obliged to put back. It was ru moured that the KING went privately on shore yes terday, at Dunleary, or as it is henceforth to be called, " Kiniplown." He would have returned to the Park, but for the repetition of bustle and cere mony to which it would probably have exposed him, and as the sea agrees always very well with its So vereign, his Mase.sry preferred remaining on board. The determined satirists of Ireland and everything Irish, say that the only good thing one is sure of here is, " A wind always enabling a person to quit it." I-Its MAJESTY has not proved the truth of this ill•natuied assertion, and even the elements would seem to combine with the unanimous wish of the people of Iretind to detain a beloved Sovereign longer amongst them. The scene from Dunleary to Dublin, after the embarkation of the Kiwo, is not to be described ; the difficulty of returning even where persons had their ow•n conveyances, was such, that numbers of fashionable full-dressed Ladies were un- der the necessity of walking to town five miles, their . ._ carriages having been forced out of the line of ar rangement and not to be found, or inaccessible; and the savage, ferocious, and dishonest conduct of the gingle and car drivers, was such, that persons were obliged to pay from 10s. to El for a single seat on a vehicle taking up from six to eight persons. In _ _ _ fact never was seen anything like it, and this scene continued on the road until tw•o o'clock in the morn- ing. As I anticipated in my former letters, the town is becoming immensely dull already, and the few strange faces we continue to see, are those of such as cannot get places in the public coaches home. The triumphal arch has been removed, its former tenants re-occupy the Castle, the Park Lodge, &c. arid all things are returning to their former level. The magic of the scene over, the temporary bustle and excitation ceased, as Prospero broke his wand, so I lay by my pen. K Farewell, the plunid war !—Othello's occupation's gone!" Adieu, and may lltAvEm grant that all the bene fits proposed by our gracious Sotereign may follow his visit ! DUBLIN, THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 6. The appearance of the Royal squadron under weigh was splendid beyond description. It consisted of the Royal George and Sovereign, yachts, the Liffey, Lee, and Acdive frigates, six gun brigs, and several cutters and schooners, independent of the nu merous fleet of small craft by which it is accompanied. The Royal squadron coasted along the Wicklow shore, within the Banks. This is a course which has never before been taken by vessels of a similar size to those composing the squadron ; but the excellent seamanship of Mr. Buses, his Martsrv's Pilot, and the perfect knowledge which he possesses of the coast, has enabled the Royal Party to behold one of the most magnificent shores in the world. DUBLIN, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7. The Royal squadron remained at anchor in the harbour at Kingstown up to eight o'clock last night, and the wind being then unfavourable, we believe his MAJESTY remained in the harbour all night. A great portion of the Nobility and Gentry of Dublin was to be seen throughout the entire of yesterday at the New Pier, and the number of boats freighted with beauty and fashion, gave an interest and animation to a scene, which, with one exception, (the Bay of ; Naples), is not to be equalled in Europe. His MA JESTY remained on deck for the most part of the day, and, as on Tuesday last, amused himself, wish some success, by fishing. His MAJESTY sat for a consi derable time on a sopha, on deck, that he might gra tify the numerous parties of Ladies and Gentlemen, who crowded in boats about the Royal yacht, by sheaving himself. The day was uncommonly fine, and the view of the Wicklow and Dublin Mountains, including Killiney Hill and Obelisk, was grand, as seen from the Bay. Among the distinguished per sonages whom we noticed in the neighbourhood of Kingstown yesterday, was his Excellency the Loan LIEUTENANT. When his MaJcsry's squadron lay at anchor, on Tuesday evening, at Kingstown harbour, a beautiful rainbow, of most vivid colours, appeared, elevated above the horizon, its arch encircling the Royal squa dron; a poor woman who sat on the rocks, and who had been anxiously looking at the ships, fixing her eye on that " harbinger of bright days," exclaimed, " Well, there's the first Irish rainbow ever he saw !" Lord CASTLECOOTE sent yesterday a letter to Sir CHARLES PAGET, the Commodore of the Royal Squa dron, tendering to the KING the produce of his farm (Leopardstown), while his MAJESTY remained in the harbour. His MAJESTY was most graciously pleased to accept the offer. His Lordship set off instantly for Leopardstown, to dispatch, without delay, some , sheep of the Wicklow breed, with an abundance of fruit and vegetables. The various visitors who have lately been at Dun leary, must have observed with astonishment the Kil retsh cripple, navigating, in the most seamanlike man ner, his little boat, called the Castlemaine, which is scarcely four feet in length. Ills MAJESTY having observed her coming round his yacht, had him brought alongside ;. and he was so much pleased with the poor fellow and his boat, that he ordered him ten guineas, a leg of mutton, and a lo.if of bread.

It is now placed beyond adoubt that his I.t.t:,.s tir has r...,c. ed to redeem his promise, made last satsuma, of visiting th e psi of Flynsouth. For some days past every possible prepal-ri v j ab been making, in anticipation of the approach of :be flora' s iy . dron. I regret to say that Thursday last. the day on whi c h h i blarasrr bad purposed reaching Plymouth, proved haired is auspicious : the wind was unfavourable ; the rain for the ge rm* part of the day fell ir. torrents; and the sea, from what is e a n e d underground swells, occasionally presented a truly tin-buten agitation. While each looker out was lamenting these combir l d untoward circumstances, speculation, as may be expeet t d yeas anythirg but idle. With such a wind it was impossible it, 3 4. resry could round the western point, and that be Would bt try , pelted to land on the Bristol Channel coast seemed to be the general belief, though many insisted that the flotilla "ewe te e% off Looe the preceding evening. However, up to this erenitt;, nine o'clock, no tidings of the Soreattes's approach were re ceived from the numerous and some far distant lookers -out.-- Besides all the Government and Diplomatic Authorities ha e k 4 is itice of his Marresnes intended visit, Thursday's post brad ; ; dispatches for the Kato. These, we understand, are now in board a cutter in the offing, waiting an opportunity of king ra on board the Royal yacht. I am, from authority, enabled to state that the Kure will skit the guard-ship, and that everythirg is prepared for his arm appearance. The Bretikwater, however, will be the main objtet of It iyal inspection and gratification : here reparations are nude similar to those upon the txpected visit down Channel. FRIDAY MORNING, T 124 A. Is. I had scarcely dispatched my letter last evening, particularizing matters relative to the Kixo's visit to this place, ere we ev e . rienced a violent thunder storm, accompanied by the most citia lightning from the westward, which continued in almost uniatee. rupted succession up to four this morning. If, as no doubt was tiv case, his Maatsvv's flotilla was in the Briitol Channel—(see iie ' preceding accounts front Dablin to 'he contras)—it must bare, experienced some alarming difficulties. We have now a clear sky, with the wind (and so for etr 7 (tours) fresh from the N. W. The three towns are full of cue. patsy, including many Noblemen and Gentlemen's famdicsol the first distinction.

The TARTAR 14 1 tended to call at the Havannah. Two days preview to the departure of the Coseta NCE, a packet a rived at Port Royal from Curasoa, with accountsd the successful operations of the Independents on de Spanish Main, who had, in a desperate battle, fonp on the plains of Carabozo, totally defeated the RI alist forces; the consequence of which had that the Royalists were obliged to abandon P Cabello and La Guira, and the inhabitants wet flying from Caraccas, in apprehension that the lade pendents would soon make an attack on that place,- The CONFIANCR left our squadron on the star under Sir CHARLES ROWLEY, healthy; the NATII LUS, Captain IMAM CHAPMAN ; BANN, Cap, BLots; PARTIII AN, Captain LLOYD; and TARA Sir WILLIAM WISEMAN, Bart. were lying at re Royal ; the TRIBUNE, Captain WiLtoucatsv , gone to Porto Bello; the RALEIGH, Captain Buts.
