Accounts have been received at LLOYD'S this fore noon of an unsuccessful attempt made, about the end of September, by some native troops, to affect a Re volution at Pernambuco. His Majesty's ship DORIS, which arrived there on the 21st, had been solicited by the British merchants to remain there, for the pro tection of our trading interests. Two accounts, of a very opposite character, are given in the Papers of this morning, respecting the state of the cue-lion between Russia and Turkey. The Times, quoting a Sunday Paper, says:—" At a late hour on Saturday we received the important intelligence, from a quarter which gives us the utmost cogfidence in its correctness, that a dispatch has ar rived from St. Petetsburgh, with information that an Ambassador has been appointed to Constantinople, as the successor to 13ar on STROGONOFF. On this point, it is w ell known, depended the only doubt that remained of the perfect recoaci:iation of Russia and the Porte, and the last pledge, therefore, may be understood to be given, that the tranquillity of Europe will be maintained. We hive not learned the name of the new Minister, but do not consider the intelligen:e on that account as the less certain."—The Alaruivg Chronicle, on the cunt; ary, says, in terms quite as posi• five, Recentadvices of drehii : hest authority, although of a confidential nature, received at the chose of l as t week from St. Petersburgh, announc-. that notwith standing the colouring given to tin ney,ociations car rying on, the war between Russia aofd ur•key is inevit able, and this conclusion is supp(,rie., li) the opinion .of a Gentleman who left the apital sixteen days ago. The greatest care has been taken to dis guise the real intentions of the EMPEROR, so as to make the professions he has so repeatedly uttered to the States of Europe hide the secret policy by which his Councils are actuated; but his journey to the head-quay ters of his army, the great stir in the War Department, the extensive preparations made, and, above all, the state of public opinion in Rus sia, warrant the conclusion that it is no longer in the power of the EMPEROR himself to stop the enterprise in view, thus frustrate the hopes of his army and people, and foil plans which have been forming at an immense expense, and maturing for years, when so favourable an opportunity offers.— Nay, in St. Petersburgh, the doctrine is very openly avowed at the present moment, that if the Emperor, by listening to the remonstrances of his Continental Allies, were to give up the project in question, he could not return to his capital without the - clanger of his life, so strong and determined is the party in fa vour of a war against Turkey, even among the mem bers of his own family, and experience has told us how these matters are often settled in such a country as Russia." Which of these equally authoritative statements is the correct one, a very few days w ill prnhably develope. In the meantime, we have to obso.rve, that the whole of the foreign intelligence which we have received to day is strongly in favour of ;he autheilicity of the statement put forth by the Morning Chronicle, and inclines us to suspect that the extreme seasonableness of peaceful news to the speculators for a rise in our . Funds, may have had some share in the appoint ment of a successor to Baron STROGONOFF. A private letter from Augsburg, of the 26th Oc tober, says, " The Porte's preparations for war as sume a serious character. Asiatic troops arrive in great numbers in Moldavia and Wallachia. o:her corps equally numerous are in march for the same de:tin...thin. As soon as they arrive from Constan tinople, they are made to continue their route to wards the left bank of the Danube. There is thus no longer, as pretended, any question about eva cuating the two Principalities, for the principal Ot toman forces which arrive successively in Europe, in place of directing themselves against the Greeks, as was at first the priject of the Divan, are all advanced by forced marches upon the Danube. It seems from all this that the Grand Seignior believes it necessary to present an imposing attitude against any attempt at invasion on the part of Russia." An article from Frankfort of the 26th of October, is equally warlike:—" The Porte," it says, " make great iridium, preparations. The troops in Moldavia and Wallachia are continually receiving reinforce ments, and their Chiefs breathe nothing but war— the Janissaries especially, are animated with the most ardent enthusiasm." Another fact which. we meet with under the head of Nuremberg, 25th of October, sheers that the dis trust of Russia is on a par with that of Tar key.- 4 4 The members (it is said) of the Russian agency in Wallachia, who, after the pillage of the hotel of the Russian Consulate at Bucharest, had been received into the hotel of the Austrian Consul in the same city, have set out for Transylvania, according to orders received from Petersburgh. They have already arrived at Cronstadt, without having been molested by the Turks." In other advices from the Continent, great stress is put on the sudden visit of Prince Mwrrearcten to Hanover, and on the manner in which Russia seems to keep aloof from the conferences of its two august Allies, Austria and Britain. It is inferred from these circumstances, that as the views of the two latter Powers can be no other than pacific, those of the Emperor ALEXANDER tr , lSt necessarily be the reverse. The Paris Papers of Thursday art ived this forenoon. Those of Wednesday and Friday are still due. The litso has issued an Ordinance declaring that the facts imputed to Lieutenant-General Count BLit- TRAND ate comprised in the Amnesty accorded by the Law of the 12th January, 1816, and that he is restored to all his rights, titles, ranks, and honour. Letters from Perpignan, of the 2'2d, state, that the number of sick diminished at Barcelona, but that the number of dead increases. The Authorities have at last taken measures for the encampment of the popu lation, on the space between the cordon and the city. Dr. PARISRT, says the Moniteur, has sent his first report to (the Flinch) Government on the result of his observations. It appears, according to the opinion of this physi cian, that the yellow fever of Barcelona differs in many respects from that which he observed two years ago at 'Cadiz. In i'act, although this malady presents everywhere the same melancholy results, the symp toms and the developements vary according to local circumstances. Spanish Journals were on Wednesday received by express from Madrid to the 23d ult. Madrid was tranquil; the King and Royal Family had gone to pass some days at the Escurial. The Cortes conti nued the discussion of the Project of law upon the ter:itotial division; and on the 22d commenced with the Project for the active organization of the Na tiotal Militia. French Five per Cents. Wednesday, 90 fr. 50 c. HURRICANE AT Sl. BARTHOLOMEWS. The Norfolk Herald, of the Bth October, contains the following account, communicated by Captain PEARSON, arrived in Hampton ltoads. Its violence is said to have extended to several of the adjacent Islands, and to have been awfully destructive. One hundred and sixty persons are stated to have been missing at St. Bartholomew's : On the 9th of September, a tremendous hurricane was experienced at St. Bartholomew's, and did great damage to the town and shipping: it commenced from the north-west, and continued until about six o'clock on the morning of the 10th, at which time the wind shifted to the west. Previous to the com mencement of the gale, there were about fifty sail of vessels, small and large, at anchor in the harbour, one of which rode out the gale, the rest either being driven on shore or blown out to sea. The following are the names of the vessels:—Brig Paymaster, of Portland, with a full cargo; brig Fox, of Portland; schooner Harriot, of Portland schooner Elizabeth, of Alexandria ; schooner William Treat, of Milford ; schooner Polly and Nancy, of Newport; schooner Missouri, of Middletown ; brig Sarah Baker, from'' Boston ; Schooner John, of St. Kitts; a Dutch Guinea man, with twenty men on board, driven on shore, the vessel and the whole of the crew totally lost; a French Guineaman, with about twenty men on board, was driven to sea, anJ supposed to be lost.— A Grenada schooner was driven on the rocks. The ship Eliza Jane, from Now York, put to sea, and is probably safe. Many mote were driven to sea or stranded. About 60 or 70 houses were blown down. It was believed by some that a shock of an earth quake accompanied the gale. GAEE AT MOBILE. We have a letter from Mobile, of the 18th ultimo, which states, that a violent gale from the S.E. was experienced at that place on Saturday evening, the 15th ultimo, which continued till the 18th, carrying everything before it, and injuring shipping and wharfs. A tempest of %tini and rain of great violence, but of s h ort duration, visited the Metropolis on Saturday evening. It came on about half-past nine, and con tinued for three•quarters of an hour, and in that short space of time, the sneers Eastward of London, from the stoppage of the sewers, were almost impassable. In Wapping, Rotherhithe, &c. the water in the lower apartments was above two feet in depth. Yesterday was also very stormy, and much damage was done on the River amongst the small craft ; two, with oats, were driven on shore below Deptford. This being the Anniversary of the Popish Conspi racy, commonly called the Gunpowder• Plot, the Park and Tower guns were fired on the occasion. The Yeomen of the Guard, and his MAJESTY'S servants at Carlton Palace, received their customary gratuity of wine, it being a pitcher day. COUNTESS OF LAUDERDALIL—We copied from the Morning Chronicle of Saturday, a melancholy state• meet of the death by tire of this amiable and accom plished Lady, which, we are now rejoiced to say, turns out to be wholly unfounded. The manner in which our respectable contemporary has been im posed upon will be found explained in the following paragraph, which we extract from the Morning Chro nick of to-day : " We have been desired to contradict the account of the death of Lady I.aUDZILDALL which we published in our Paper of Sa turday, on the authority of a Correspondent. The person who communicated this account has since sent to us a letter, in which he acknowledges that he writes under an assumed character, and that his intelligence was false. As nothing can be more wicked than attempts of this nature, to sport wantonly with t►e feelings of families, in the hopes that some one may be enabled, from a knowledge of the hand, to furnish us with the means of disco vering the writer of the letters in question, we have left them with our Clerk for general inspection. We have to express our deepest reget that we bare thus been nude unsuspectingly the means of throwing a number of individuals into the greatest distress." FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

FROM THE DUBLIN JOURNAL OF FRIDAY. We are sorry it is not in our power to communi cate any favourable intelligence from the County of Limerick. The fierce spirit of insubordination and revenge remains unabated. That there is much posi tive distress in the disturbed districts we have good reason for believing, and the following circumstance de_erves attention, especially as we can vouch for its truth. A party attacked the house of Mr. W—, which had been before searched ; he went to the door, and asked, " what do you went? the answer was, " your pistols ;" he replied, " I have no pistols." One of them, who seemed to be the leader, came close to the door, and said, " it surprises us that a man like you should not have pistols"—he said, "it is true, I really have none; you may search the house if you please—l wish you would return the fowling-piece you took in my absence"—thts, man answered " ur did not take your fowling-piece ;" he replied, " but some of you did take it in my absence, or you know where it is, and can find it"—the man heaved a deep sigh, and said, "it shall be returned when we have done with it"—" but when will you have done with it ?"—the answer was—" We know not—Gon only knows—this is a sad business—we wish we were out of it—but we began it and must end it." The party then departed without searching. As the venders of gunpowder in Limerick are cau tious, the banditti find considerable difficulty in ob taining this article; but we understand that they send requisitions to the neighbouring Counties, whence they draw supplies, which are deposited at certain places as intimated in the notices they transmit. The dread of punishment—the threat of death—overawes even those who are not associated, and may not wish to countenance their lawless measures. So inexorable is their revenge, that the well-disposed are afraid to resist an influence that is felt before it is seen—that, under the covert of darkness and surprise, manifests itself in murder and conflagration. Exclusively of the energetic measures which the Government has adopted to suppress this midnight insurrection, as it may be termed, the Trustees of Lord COURTENAY'S estate have resolved to remove every cause of complaint, by investigating the cir cumstances of the tenantry, with the view of redress ing their grievances, if well founded ; and the follow ing letter, which appears in the Limerick Chronicle, is dictated by kind and humane feelings: TO THE TENANTRY OF THE COURTENA Y ESTATE. m Gurrt.rwm—The repeated complaints which I from time to time have received from the Tenantry of the CoUITCWAY Estates, determined me to take the opportunity which the vacation af forded me of repairing to Newcastle; but on my arrival at Dublin, I found myself, from an indisposition under which I had been for some time previously suffering, wholly unequal to the perform- once of a task, which, I well knew, would be attended with greater fatigue, and more exertion of mind, than my health would permit me to undergo. I therefore, without loss of time, deputed Mr. Wuonsto, a Gentleman upon whose judgment Lord COURTINAY had, as well as myself, the most implicit re -1 fiance, attended by Mr. Wuxi/nom, Solicitor to the Trust, and Mr. Fuatose, whose high character is sufficiently well known to you, to make the necessary inquiries. The result has been the temporary appointment of Mr. Atrial) FURLONG to the Agency, and the staying of all legal proceedings. This first step, ou the part of the Trustees, was an earnest of their disposition to relieve the tenantry, as far as their duty and powers would permit—but the course of proceeding neces sary to be adopted to place the tenants (as fat as circumstances will allow) on an equal footing, and to settle their farms upon a rent suited to the present and probable future value of the pro duce, required a knowledge and experience which I do not pos sess. My professional avocations, even if my health which it does not, would have permitted it, render it totally impossible for me to comply with their request; of going to Newcastle ; but, at the same time, I can assure them, that such a step, on my part, is unnecessary, inasmuch as the tenants may rest per fectly secure, that, upon receiving the report of the Gentlemen who have been thus deputed to make the inquiries contenting the state of the rents, the Trustees will immediately take the whole of the subject under their consideration, and I have no doubt that these Gentlemen will, very shortly, have finished the Investigation necessary for settling the rents upon such a footing, as, I trust, will give confidence to the tenant, and promote tht. permanent interest of the landlord. “ HENRY WROTTESLEY." FROM THE LIMERICK CHRONICLE OF WEDNESDAY. Saturday night the neighbourhood of Ballinacurra was in a state of alarm from a number of persons parading the roads and firing shots. Sunday, at noon, a number of armed ruffians visited the house of JOHN SHELTON, Esq. of Ross more, in this county, and succeeded in obtaining some muskets, pistols, and ammunition. We have heard that several farmer's houses in that neighbour hood were also visited by the same banditti, and arms procured. Monday, a letter was received through the Post office, by the serjeant of the Adare Yeomanry, now on permanent duty in that village, signed ig Captain Rock and Lieutenant Starlight," and dated from Stonehall, stating, that a reward of £lO should be paid by them for every musket taken from a Yeoman, £2O for every one put to death, £lOO for every Offi cer, and £5O for a serjeaut. It concludes by stating " that there are ten men in that corps who soon shall meet John Walshe's fate." The following is an extract of a letter from a Field Officer in Limerick, received in Glasgow:--‘‘ This country continues in a very disturbed state. The people are all armed, and very daring.. They meet in•great companies every night, within a mile of these barracks; but the Magistrates will not inter fere, and without them, in the absence of martial law, my hands are tied up. There is not a doubt but they might be put down by a vigorous Magistracy,- supported as they are by so many troops; but the system of terror is so completely established, I may say confirmed, by the assassination of every man who has ever annoyed them in the slightest degree, that no civil offiLer will chew himself. These murders are committed in open dry, and in sight 4huudreds, but no reward will bribe a witness to co re r oma , And the perpetrators remain unpunished.

The detaslins returned at eight o'clock tni Wednesday mon.ing. The following is an extract of a letter froth spectable Gentkman, residing in the ne:ghbouil:inl of Tralee :—" I am sorry to inform you that dist; fection is beginning to rear its frightful head in iii hitherto quiet neighbourhood ; anonymous le;:ea using threats, for arms, were received by two Gei men, one residing in the town (Trace), the ca t Blennerville; the latter Gentleman has set out tb morning for Dublin, after depositing any arms le had in the Barracks." Mr. Sheehy, presuming that the presence of th military had restored quiet to Newcastle and its rici. nity, sent back forty-three head of cattle, which, to gether with fifty others, had been driven from pasture, on the farm of Glettquin, the week before- As soon as the men who accompanied the cattle s peared near the farm, three ruffians rudied from le hind a ditch, and one of them fired at James Geob gan, the foremost of Mr. Sheehy's men.
