Bayonne Papers to the 25th ult. reached us this orcnoon. The following are extracts: BAYONNE, SEPTEMBER 44. The Mail from Madrid, with letters of the 16th, is arrived ; that of the 19th, which in regular course ought to come to-day, has not yet reached us, but 'ne shall probably have it the day after to-morrow. We have letters from Bilboa of the 20th, which state that the factious have disappeared from that Province. They mention also the arrival in that port, ou the same day, of two battalions of the line, of 500 men each, which had been embarked at Corunna.— The Militia of Bilboa, to the number of 500 men, made a sally on the 18th, in two columns, one going towards Durango, the other towards Balmaeeda, with the intention of scouring the province, but they did not meet with any enemy to combat. A Report of the Political Chief of Vittoria, dated • the 21st, announces the complete defeat of the par tisan Quebilla at Andagoga, on the 19th, three leagues from Vittoria, at the foot of the mountains of Pena Serrada. Quebilla had passed the Ebro with 80 horse, and intended, it is said, to penetrate into Navarre, but was defeated by a detachment of Baylen, from Vit toria, which killed of his men, and took 50 horses. This t eport even state, that Quebilla had been severely steunded in the thigh by a musket ball. We see fugitives from the Army of the Faith daily strive here in the most pitiable condition. The se coati in command of the band of Zabala, named Barrutia, is also at the Lazaretto. The Gazette of St. Sebastian continues to print re ports of various actions with the bands of Guezala, Zatrala, and Utango, which are completely broken up and deserting their Chiefs. Espinosa is now able to bombard Irati, which he Iris invested. Numerous bands of soldiers, of the di vision of Quesada, which have abandoned bins in Ca talonia, have returned to their homes. The interior of Navarre is still in a state of anarchy, infested by bands-of real banditti, without any improvement in the public spirit of the inhabitants. The emigration continues, especially of Priests and Monks. Sir William A'Court was expected at Vit toria on the 23d in the evening. This forenoon we received Madrid Papers to the 17th ult. It appears that the Regency at Urgel had caused some discontent in the Spanish capital. as it was believed that the KING must hive countenanced it. The Ministers, therefore, urged his MAJESTY to contradict the falsehoods of the Regency, and appease the minds of the People ; and the Proclamation which we gave in the STAR on Monday was the result. These Papers contradict the report that a treaty of alliance, offensive and defensive, has been concluded between Spain and Portugal, or that the latter has offered 12,000 men to Spain : on the contrary, a re markable misunderstanding exists between the two countries. This coolness is said to be the effect of the in:rigues of a foreign Government, and it is even re ported that a change of Ministers may be expected at Lisbon.--The following are extracts : MADRID, SEPTEMBER 16. A funeral service in honour of the National Guards /olio fell on the 7th of July, in defence of the public liberty, was celebrated yesterday with the greatest pomp, in the Cathedral of this city. General Palarea, Political Chief of Madrid, bas published an Ordonnance of the Police, which en forces some old regulations for the preservation of public tranquillity : they relate chiefly to strangers, some of whom, says the Ordonnance, may be consi dered as abusing the hospitality generously afforded thew. They must all give a satisfactory account of their business in the capital, and those wbo are suspected must give sulkiest security to the Alcalde of the quarter, urges they prefer leaving Authorities of the enviress of Madrid not having acquainted the Political Chief with the passage of a band of savfa of the. factious, be has announced that the members of the Municipalities ;hall be individually bound to give him due notice, in future when any factious pass through or stop in • their district, on pain of being fined. The Government has just given pressing orders to send a prompt supply of corn to the fortresses in Catalonia. The corn is to be embarked at Bilboa, Almeira, and Alicant. The accounts from the Provinces are not interest ing, but state that, generally, all the Regiments of Militia are in motion, some for Catalonia, others - to the parts left by the regular troops, who have been sent likewise to Catalonia. It is said that many troops have arrived at Sara gossa, and that on the 20th there were to be 15,000' at Lerida. Tortosa appears to have been in great straits at the end of last month, but a letter of the Ist of September, in the Spectator, mentions that its situation was improved, but further reinforcements were impatiently expe:ted. A Lisbon Mail, bringing Papers to the 21st ult. reached us this forenoon. It appears that, in conse quence of a deficiency of corn in the Kingdom of Portugal, the importation of foreign grain will be permitted, under certain regulations.—The following are extracts: LISBON, SEPTEMBER W. SITTING OP THE CORTES ) SEPTEMBER 14. The Order of the Day was the last reading of the Constitution. Senor FLIINANDIE PIN/IEIRO read a paper, in which, after stating various reasons, he concluded by saying that, to comply with the wishes of his consti tuents, he must openly declare that he could not pos sibly sign the Constitution. This being read a second time, and supported by the author and by Senor CASTRO a SILVA. it was discussed, and referred to the Committee of the Conititution. M. BRAAMCAMP said, he could not conceive how it was possible that some of the Deputies from Brazil should have, besides their powers as Deputies, sepa rate instructions; and if they had any, he did not understand that could have any validity, or serve as a pretext for any doubts; that these very Deputies had assisted in drawing up the Constitution, voted in its articles after they had been discussed, and, now that the work was flailed, refused to sigdit. This is not possible; nor is it possible that such a condition should exist in their powers (or credentials). I there fore propose to refer them to the Committee of the Constitution, to be examined as far as they relate to this subject.—The President put this proposal to the vote, which was approved. ; 1 the kingdom. The Local SEPTEMBER 16. It appearing that there is a deficiency of corn in the kingdom, the Agricultural Committee propose to admit foreign corn to be deposited in the port of Lisbon.-Ist. Any merchant shall be at liberty to im- I port foreign corn (trigo wheat?) into the port of Lis bon for the next three months, subject to certain re gulations.-1 When the average price of Portuguese corn is SOO tees, foreign corn shall be admitted as follows 1. When the average price is between 800 and 900 rees, fo reign corn may be :old in equal proportion with Portuguese— that Is, half of each. 9. When the average price is between 900 and 96$ ryes, two thirds of foreign corn may be sold. 3. When the average exceeds 960 rees, the whole quantity may be foreign. SEPTEMBER 17. The Committee of the Constitution presented its opinion on the steps yet to be taken in swearing to and publishing it. prey propose that his Majesty shall repair to the Palace of the Cones, on the lit of October, to take the oath in form ; and that the Pre sident having presented to his Majesty the Holy Evangelists, be shall lay his right hand on the book and say—" I accept, and swear to observe, and cause to be observed, the Political Constitution of the Por tuguese Monarchy, which the Constitutional Cones of the same nation have just decreed." SEPTEMBER 19. The opinion of the Committee proposing a Decree in seven Articles relative to Brazil (which has al ready been printed), declaring the acts of the Go vernment of Rio null, recalling the Prince Royal, &c. was discussed, and gave rise . to a very long and ani mated debate, the continuation of which was ad- journed to the next Sitting. The Cortes having approved of the opinion of the, Committee of the Constitution, on the application of some Deputies of Brazil, who desired that their func tions should be considered as terminated, because the province that seat them did not agree, which opinion was founded on the circumstance that this disagree• ment (dissidearia) wai not certain, and therefore they should retain their functions till these provinces should name other Deputies to the Cortes convoked at Rio.l The Deputies proposed to defer signing the Constitu tion for the present. The French Papers of Sunday last have been re. ceived. They contain an article from Corfu, dated August $7, which gives a favourable account of the cause of the Greeks; and although we do not place implicit reliance on its statements, yet it satisfactorily refutes the fabrications of the Austrian per. It is stated that OMANI PACIIA, whom the Sou Hots have defeated.* many times, bas recently made another attach as the emery of she latter. Oa the leth of August batteries 9,000 The *is paragraph, in which he exposes the conduct of en Austrian Journal remarkable for its hostility to the Greeks. He says, the Austrian Observer, hi its news of the 13th of August, from Corfu, mentioned the surrender of Souli. It is not the first time it de livered up this brave country to the Turks. Last winter it publish4d a Treaty, which it said the Sow liots had concluded with CHOURSCHID PACHA, and by which they bound themselves to march under the colourtof the PACHA against the Greeks. It is hardly three months since the same Journal mentioned, un der the head of (*dal News from Constantinople, that this same PACHA had possessed himself of the citadel of Souli, where he made young Huniti grandson of ALI Pascua, prisoner. The latter news is not more true than the former. The letters from Bayonne and Toulouse 'contain' reports of advantages said to be obtained by the Spanish Insurgents. Experience has proved that the accounts of the victories of the Army of the Faith, through the south of France, are not to be depended on. We'therefore notice the statements without any expectation that they will be realised. A letter from Figueras, dated the 15th, states that in the evening of that day a division of the Army of the Faith, 1500 strong, attacked the Constitutional troops between Rosas and Castillon, defeated them, and captured a convoy of provisions intended for Figueras. On thr following day the Royalists left the plain. A letter received at Toulouse on the 244 h, from Seo d'Urgel, announces that Te Deuns had been chanted at the latter place for a victory obtained by Baron d'Ettottos. The afr,ir is said to have taken place on the 18th at Benavarre, in Arragon ; and it is added, that the artillery, the baggage, SOO priso ners and two Generals, one of whom is TABOCNCA, were taken by the Royalists. It is also pretended, in a letter from Bayonne, dated the 22J, that MINA has been defeated, and lost eight hundred prisoners. The son of Berton, some days ago, presented him self te, the Prefecture of Police, to obtain a passport for Poitiers. This was on the 27th, and he was an swered that it could not be made out till the 29th.— The Prefect, however, understanding that the young man was anxious to go to Poitiers to be assured of the age of M. de Boisnet, ordered the passport to be delivered on the instant. . - st he collected all his array, which he led against tads! of Liaphar. The Sealants defeated him lately, and pursued hint to Mylos, and ark the bis which he had fOrmed there. More than Albanians were killed or wounded in this affair. e Editor of the Constitstikaamd adds a Me to THE GREEKS. It will be seen by our extracts from the French Papers. that the cause of the Greeks is by no means so hopeless as their enemies have represented. The private accounts from the seat of war and from the lonian Islands are still more satisfactory. Accounts from Corfu to the 20th of August state, that the Turks under the command of CHOURSCHID PACII4I, after a severe defeat from the Greeks under COLO. COTROIy, had retired on Corinth, with the loss of all their warlike stores, and 1500 horses; that Corinth was without provisions, and that there was little chance of immediate supplies ; that Napoli di Ro mani capitulated to the Greeks on the 11th August, where afterwards the Greek Islanders brought their families, and that the Greek fleet after landing them had proceeded to Patras ; that 3000 Turks had been detached from Previsa to Macrinozos, and had been repelled by TOUNOHAN, and that three thousand more of the barbarians had proceeded from Patras to Candila, opposite to Santa Maura, and were defeated by BARNACIIIOI7I and Isco, with the loss of two thirds of their numbers. These accounts from Corfu farther assert, that three thousand Turks who had landed at Lutraki, near Arta, and at Fidari, near IVlissiolongi, had also been defeated ; and that at Ka , tuna the Greeks had burned all their houses, and de vistaed the country to deprive the Turks of provi sions and necessary supplies. They farther state that for many days it had been known at Corfu, that thei Turkish fleet was at Patras, but that they had no troops on board sufficiently strong for making incur sions into the country ; that within a few days of the date of this letter, advices had been received of the arrival of a part of the Grecian fleet, and of the daily expected arrival of the remainder off Patras, but that no action had taken place. The latest intelligence from Constantinople gives no dates, but appears to refer to the operations in July only. One letter, dated . Constantinople, the 26th August, states, that the Porte was much afflicted by the cruel murder of the 78 hostages at Scio, and that all the barbarities committed in that garden of the world were the acts of the late Captain Pach, in contradic tion to the instructions of clemency-which the beak* Mahomedan Government had transmitted to him. Does this letter-writer suppose that the People of Eng land have forgotten the fact, " Mat at Oa sine time** &lot hostages, !soae of then under seoentreight years of age—the fat*: and grandfathers of a younger sestet' y, and that forty hoitages from' the Moral were smells butchered at Constantinople itself?" The following letters from the lonian Islands, which contain some additional informatibn on the`, subject, have been received via Paris ; . " CORFU, AUGUST 97. At the beginning of last month Chonrsthid Pacha succeeded lit collecting is Thasaly a considerable salty of 90,000 men. Lie divided it Into two corp s , of which one consisting 0(10,000 then, commanded by Diarhangi, entered the Pelopennestts by Neopai tras, and was completely destroyed. Chourschid Pacha, at the head off' the other corps of . 20,000, marched towards Thermbnlie, in' thi hope of passing without meeting any resistance ; butrthebtamOdy s . seas collected the other Greek Chiefs, pointed out to them the great danger to which Greece was exposed, and they all reiolied to stop up the passage, and to conquer or perish with.their arms in their hands. " The Greeks, commanded by Odysseus, Nicetat, Contojean, and Gouvas, amounted to 10000 men.-- Chourschid Pacha arrived at Fontana, where the Greeks attacked him on the 20th and 21st'of last month. The comllat was bloody; but, after a spi, rited resistance, the enemy was forced to take US Night and to return to Larissa with only silt thousand men. This memorable battle, tharefore,..cast the Turks twelve thousand men. " The day before yesterday a friend of mite named Cazartos, arrived here from Janina. He left tari,s a the day after the arrival of Chourschid, and he has assured me of the deplorable state of the Pacha. to We are informed also, that on the 20th of this month the brave Souliots fell on the camp of Omar V.rioni by night. They killed a great number of Turks, took two pieces of cannon, and made them selves masters of the village called Myllous." " ZANTE, AUGUST 25. 6 4 We are positively informed that the plan of the Turks has failed. A letter from Calamata,. date! the 20th of this month, brings us the following intel. ligence. The 10,000 Turks, who, towards the. end of last month, entered the Peloponnesus by the isth mus of Corinth, and who afterwards,when itincorced by 2,000 men from the fortress of Patras, under the command ofJussuf Pasha, captured Corinth, deserted and abandoned by the Greeks, marched towards A rgos, with the intention of uniting themselves to the gar rison of Napoli di Romani, and of attacking the Greeks in the Argolide ; but, on the 6th and Bth of August, the Greeks attacked them by surprise between Argus and the village of St. George, killed 3,000 men, took 2,000 horses, and 150 camels, the baggage and ammunition. The remainder of the Turkish army regained. Corinth in disorder, and on the day after were attacked between Corinth and Dervenes by Colocotroni and Mauro Michali, and completely destroyed. Colbcrotoni and Mauro Michali have shewn the greatest courage and patriotism in the different encounters." A letter from Missologgo says: " The Turkish fleet arrived at Patras, has done nothing but trans port 3000 men from that place to Candilas to attack the Arcarnania, but Captain Barnatrioti, at the head of 5000 men, fell en them during the night, and de stroyed them entirely. At the same epoch, the Pacha d'Arta sent Panoussaga, at the bead of 2,800 men, to unite with the 3000 disembarked from the firer, but fortunately he was attacked so vehemently by Giogo and Guiba (the son), at Lontrake, near Bonisa, that he was forced to retire with very considerable loss to Prevesa. The same Tui kish fleet sent forty small vessels, with 500 men, up the river Fidaco, near Missologgo, to take in water. The Greeks al lowed them to enter, and fell on them, burnt the vessels, and killed nearly all the 500 men. At pre sent, the President Maurocordato is at Machala whence he directs the affairs of the Artoloacarnania:', The German Papers last received contain one of those demi-official self-adulatory documents which the Court of St. Pctersburgh sometimes contrives to get smuggled to the Public through the medium of a foreign Journal. The article, which is dated St. Petersburgh, August 28, after announcing his Ms. Jzsres journey to Vienna, whines at the loss his sub.. 'jects will sustain by his absence, which, it is hinted, may be for several months. We are then told, that " Offended at a neighbouring Power which seemed to have laid down as a rule, to depart from those prin ciples, which, with all other deviations from ordinary forms, could alone place it in the rank of European Power, the great heart of the EMPEROR preferred counting the drops of blood which the pursuance of his just claims to satisfaction must have caused to flow. Elevated above the functions innate in the nature of man and Sovereigns, the Ruler of the greatest Erripire on earth, resolved to follow only his own feelings for the pence and happiness of nations, and to illustrate his name by the greates: example of mo deration that so mighty a Monarch could leave to posterity. Even the p - rospect of a great increase of power could not induce his MAJEITY to sacrifice Ms pure principles to ordinary policy." This is what Mr. Burchell would call " fudge," and is at best but a very clumsy way of accounting for the defeat of the Russian Cabinet in its negocia dons with the Ottoman Porte. The writer then alludes to the dissatisfaction of the Poles, and talks of the Emperor of Itosszn "holding out his august hands to conjure every storm that threatens danger to the happy citizens ;" and of the Russian nation :hewing " the way by which its be loved Sovereign returns with the flowers of its bound less gratitude. This proceedings of the Congress are, slightly al luded to, but it is evident that some interference with Spain and Portugal is contemplated. If, however, the Emperor of Russia: " counts the drops of blood" that are likely to be shed by such an iniquitous at. cothpt tem to coerce 'a nation into submission to des. on, he will of course, to sustain his character for opacity, desist from his purpose.
