They contain some interesting particulars relative to the Greeks. The following are extracts: FRIBURG, NOVEMBER U. Our letters from Marseilles assure us, that the 15th of this' month was fixed for the departure of the corps of Philhellenes, under the command of Kephallos. It consists of 180 to 200 men, Germans, Swiss, and Greeks, who have almost all of them seen service, well provided with clothing, arms, &c. and, by great exertions, in good understanding with each other, and animated with the most laudable spirit, though efforts have not been wanting to disturb this harmony.— German Officers, who returned from Greece in the days of terror and distress, in particular, while per forming quarantine in Marseilles, have made the most exaggerate., and distorted representations of the state of Greece, in order to hinder the departure of the armament. It has therefore given great satisfaction and confidence to the Philhellene.; in Marseilles, that Lieutenant Dujourdui, who was sent back to Mar seilles by the English Commander at Cerigo, and who, as is well known, had done important services to the Greeks, joined the PhilJaellEnes as soon as the qtlarantine was expired, and will return with them to Greece. This is a proof that the Greek cause is not so desperate as some would represent, and that Kephallos, the commander of the expedition, enjoys and deserves confidence. TRIESTE, NOVEMBER 14. Letters worthy of credit from Corfu, of 25th Oc tober, and from Dragomestie of the end of the same month, give the following accounts;—" After the surrender of Suli, respecting which there are various opinions, it was resolved to send Captains Warnakiotes and Iskos to Mount Komboli, where Omer Brione was, in order to hare a conference with him. This circumstance gave rise to a report that Warnakiotes had a desire to submit to the Tui ks, but the latest accounts explain the matter very differently. Warna kiotes really went to Omer Brione under that pre text, and had a conference with him; but, in fact, he had a secret commission from the Chiefs, to observe the strength and situation of the enemy, and take notice of the language that Omer Brione held.— Having fulfilled the object of his mission he returned to his brethren in arms. The strength of our corps in Acarnania is 5,000 men, which, favoured by the nature of the ground, is sufficient to hinder the ad aance_of the enemy. Omer had, indeed, 12,000 men some time ago, but the disputes between the Alba nians in Epirus have induced many of them to leave the Pacha and return home. The cause of these dis putes is, that some of the Albanians are disposed to recognise Omer as Pacha of Joannina,while the others would prefer the son of the Pacha of Berat, Ibrahim. If the dispute is not soon settled, many advantages may accrue from it to the Greeks. In the corps in Acarnania are Maurocordato, Bozzaris, and General Normann. The most favourable news still continue to be received from the east of Greece, where of fensive operations are carried on against the barba rians in the neighbourhood of Zestuni. Napoli and Corinth are still in the hands of the Turks, but close, pressed, and in bad condition. At Corinth there are 5,000 Turks, the remains of 25,000 who entered the Peloponnesus. The Greek flag flies over the lower part of Napoli; and in the upper fortress (Palamidi) about 5,000 Turks of both sexes are shut up, of whom only 1,500 bear arms. The last attempt of the great Turkish fleet, commanded by the Captain Yalta, to relieve the fortress, having failed, it u, 0. hoped that wog of provisions must soon force it to / surrender; especially as.the Greeks proved, on that occasion, that with their slight merchant vessels they. are able, even in the open sea, to oppose a valiant and successful resistance to the combined Turkish, Egyptian, and African naval force. " It is however with regret we learn that merchant men bearing the flag of one of the fitst Continental Powers, have been freighted at Smyrna by the Turks, and laden with provisions and ammunition to be con voyed by ships of war of the same Power into the harbour of Napoli; but this last circumstance cannot be positively affirmed. For some time kis observed that the English Government has adopted a dif ferent system towards the Greeks, in some measure opposed to that they before followed ; and it is even affirmed that the Greeks have received, indirectly, sup port from that quarter. The Ministers of the Greek Senate intended to fiz their residence for a time in Tri poliza, where several of them have already arrived." By the fast-sailing ship Hudson, we have papers and letters from several parts of America to the 17th ult. A letter from Porto Rico, dated the 17th of October, says—" Respecting the threatened attack upon this island we have little to fear, as the princi pal ringleaders, who have had their commission from the Government of St. Domingo, have been secured, and some of them shot ; and several vessels, with men and arms, have been detained at Curacoa." Papers from Buenos Ayres to the 7th of Septem , A ber, and from Rio Janeiro to the 26th, had been received at Baltimore. They state that great prepa- rations were making at Rio for crowning the Prince Regent, as EMPEROR of the BRAZILS, on the 12th of October ; and also for defending themselves against any attack that might be made by the mother coun try: 40,000 milreas had been borrowed of the mer chants, for military services. Many of the Portu guese were preparing to quit the country. Eight thousand men had already been raised in and about Rio ; two vessels of war were fitting out, and all the points on the coast were about being fortified. All persons opposed to the Government were ordered to quit the country. FROM ST. SALVAT)OII. We learn from St. Salvador, that the city was closely besieged: a partial engagement took place, and after some slight skirmishing the Brazilians re tired without the city. FROM BRAZIL Captain . WalForth, who arrived last evening, states that accounts had reached Pernambuco from St. Sal- vador, to the 19th September, which mentioned that the place was again in a state of revolution—the people wishing to establish a Republican Governmept in opposition to the Prince. The city was closely besieged when the Albert left, and she was detained two days for want of a clear— ance, the Custom-house being shutin consequence of an attack upon the city. The actipn did not however last long, and was nothing more than skirmishing, in which the Portuguese lot one Lieutenant-Colonel killed, and several officers and men taken prisoners, when the Brazilians retired without the city. Busi ness was entirely at a stand, and a general gloom pervaded the town. Numerous failures had taken place, and more were expected. The British frigate Creole, Corn. Hardy, had aritved there from Rio, for the purpose of protecting the English merchants. Captain Stillman, of the Andromache, states, that the Rio fleet, of one frigate, two sloops of war, and one brig, touched at Pernambuco about the middle of September for supplies, and sailed again on a cruize. On the 16th of September, a mob,. and part of the troops at Pernambuco, insisted, in a very tu multuous manner, that the President and Members of the Junta should be turned out, which object they effected in a few days. The President fled to Rio in a British packet. A new President and Junta had been elected, and it was quiet at the time the An dromache sailed. The New York Papers do not mention the state of the City as to the fever, but if we may judge from Me numerous advertisements announcing the return of tradesmen to their former residences (from which the fever had driven them), we should consider that the place was now healthy.—One Paper, the New York Advertiser of the 7th of November, contains no less than nine columns of announcements of this de scription. The following letter from Canton, dated May 10, has been received via America : " The Emperor of this Country, having by some means discovered the disgraceful conduct of the Mandarins at.and about Canton, has issued an im portant Decree to the High Officers about the Court to inquire into their conduct, and to report correctly the nature of their transactions with the English at Linton, and the measures which have been pursued with regard to the introduction of opium." A letter has been received from a British Officer of some rank in the service of the Peruvian Govern ment, which contains much curious information re specting Peru. It is dated from Lima, and, among. other things, states the Independent Army to contain 7,600 veteran troops, exclusive of militia, of whom 1,800 were embodied in the city of Lima alone. He believes that the effective force of LASERNA does not exceed 6,000, and, therefore, though wine appreherr lions were created by rumours bfibe advance of the Spaniards on the capital, entertains he dotal; 'of the' final establishment of independence in Peru; Au et podition, the object of ss.hich was not distinctly met= tained,was prepared, and fourteen transports had been collected in the harbour of Callao. Some decisive" blow was expected, AS it was understood SAN M A RTI would himself take the command. The Marquis of TORBETAGLE, who was Protector' eg interim, and IIONTEAGUDO, the Minister of State, are both de scribed as men of ability, and enjoying considerable popularity. Dispatches were received yesterday at the Foreign Office, from the Duke of Watutioron. Ministers do not attempt to deny that they now consider war between France and Spain a; alinost inevitable. It was supposed that commercial couriers had been stopped by the French Government. The French Papers of Tuesday throw no new light on the question of peace or war. On Monday even, ing an extraordinary courier was dispatched to Spain from the Office of the 'Minister for Foreign Affairs. It is believed that he was the bearer of the resolution of the Congress on the affairs of the Peninsula. The gnotirlienne assures usethat the Duke of AN• GOULEME will set out this week for the departments of the South, and that a battalion of each of the regimenti will be immediately sent to the frontiers. —lf war is to take place, we hope the command of the French army will be given to this Prince; this will certainly be some compensation for the iniquity of attacking Spain, and cannot but tend greatly to its advantage. The Courier Francais says—" Metter from Verona contains an account of a grand musical party given by the Duke of Wellington, at which her Imperial and Royal Highness the Archdncbess Maria Louisa was present. On the arrival of the Princess, the Duke went to meet her, gave her his arm, and conducted iher into the saloon. This behaviour of the Arch duchess has produced a great sensation at Verona, and persons who are fond of indulging in conjectures, pretend to see in it, at least an indication of the union which is daily drawing closer between the Cabinet of Vienna and that of St. James's." The same Journal says, that—" On Monday, be tween four and five o'clock, at the moment when all the Mails were made up and ready to depart for their respective destinations, a counter order was re- ceived, in pursuance of which they were unyoked. The dispatches were taken out and carried back to the offices. Some time after the Mails were sent off in succession. Several did not depart until after six o'clock." Brussels Papers to the 3d instant have been re ceived, but they contain little intelligence of interest. The Ettraordinary Storthing of 'Norway closed its Sittings on the 16th ult. with a long speech from the KING. The marriage of Prince Jon (of SAXONY, and Princess ASTELIA of BAVARIA, was solemnized at Dresden, on the 21st ult. Au article from Frankfort, dated November 2.5, say s—‘l A pretty considerable sum of money was lately sent to the Provisional Government of Greece; it was the produce of the numerous subscriptiuns which have been made in several cities in the-South of Germany." There is a report in circulation, that the DIVAN has transmitted to the new Imperial Internuncio, Baron d'OTTIINFELS, and to Mr. CHAPPER, the British Charge d'Affaires, a Note, drawn up in very strong term , ,, in which it requires a positive explanation of the projects of the Sovereigns assembled at the Con gress at Verona, with respect to the Ottoman Empire.

Yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office, in Downing street, which was attended by the same numerous as semblage of Cabinet Ministers as on Tuesday. The Council broke up at five o'clock. The Revenue of the Quarter, we learn is bad, com pared with that of the corresponding period of last year.—Morning Chronicle. Agricultural and Reform Meetings are becoming general an over the kingdom, in order that they may display their united strength at the meeting of Par liament, which it is understood Will be called together earlier than was at first intended ; some time in Ja nuary it is said. In the STAR, a few days since, we mentioned the death of Colonel de PKYSTER. On Monday the mortal remains of this wonderful old Gentleman were in terred in Sc. Michael's church-yard, Dumfries, in presence, we believe, of a greater crowd than ever entered or surrounded the walls of the same place, since the funeral of ROBERT BURNS. Col. dePEYSTER, at the time of his demise, was_probahly the oldest Officer in his Majesty's service. As fitted the occa sion, the gallant old veteran was interrei with mili tary honours—the Staff of the.Dumiries-shire Militia at:ending, as well as a numerous body of the Officers and men of a retired Volunteer Corps (of which BURNS was an original member), who, one and all, seemed anxious to pay this mark of respect to the osemory of their revered Commander. Among the other mourners appeared most of the County Gen tlemen, anti at their head the Most Noble the Mar quis of QUEENSBERRY. As the funeral passed along, every window was filled with spectators ; and, in deed, among high and low, we have never seen the sympathy Ef the Public more universally excited.— The deceased belonged to the Church of England t and the Service was most beautifully and impressively read by the Rev. Mr. BABING2OY. • THE ARMY.

M RTIIODICA L CYCLOPEDIA S.—These have published with prodigious success in France a,1,1 Germany.
