The Journal des Debate has given some details re specting the Greeks, from the Oriental Spectator' but the events alluded to are prior to the alleged 41440 of the Turks in the Peloponnesus. The article isptll-_ itself uninteresting, and the French Journalist perlapi' inserted it for the opportunity it has.afforded him of snaking some comments, which he has appended in the form of notes. He ridicules the idea that the Turks, in the case of their complete triumph, would look to the advantage which might be derived from -the Greek marine, and therefore refrain:fel:ten de stroying it. The Turks, he observes, make no such calculations; and they are, besides, counselled by cer- 1 tain Europeans who like to see no marine, either mi litary or mercantile, anywhere else except in their own ports :—" England (for it must have been al . - ready understood that we allude to her) has great in terest in permitting the destruction of the Greek 'mercantile marine, which consists of from 10,000 to 12,000 vessels, and has engrossed all the carrying trade ofthe Levant." Such are the insinuations which, with reference to the Greek contest, now frequently find a place even in the most respectable of the Paris Journals. It is reported that the Spanish Government has ap plied to the Pore for a Bull to secularize all the Monks and individuals of religious orders who wish to quit the clohtcrs, on allowing them pensions, or giving them so :n e ecclesiastical employment. The following are extracts : PARIS, SEPTEMBER 25. The family of Genet al Moreau are about to raise, hi the cemetery of Dourtleaux, a vault, where arc to be deposited the mortal remains of his Lady, ho died in that town, and the heart of the General, which had been brought into France. This monument, covered with garlands of ivy and cypress, will be one of the finest ornaments of that town. The unfavourable news for the Greeks, against which we cautioned our Readers, and of which we pointed out the exaggeration, and even the falsity,has not been able to discoutage the generous Philhel lenearrs of Germany. Of all the pen i le fif Europe, the inhabitants of Southern Constitutional Germany have shewn from the beginning of the struggle the most interest in the cause of the Greeks. All the world is acquainted with the noble efforts which have been made by M. Thiersck, at Munich, who is an excellent citizen, as well as a celebrated Hellenist, and the intervention i,s also unfortunately known which neutralized his philanthropic zeal. At Tu bingen, at Schaffhausen, at Stuttgard, at Darmstadt, a nd in several other tow n% Professors, learned men, rad distinguished men of all classes, not immediately dependent on Government, have united their efforts in favour of this work of humanity. A general As sembly of Deputies from the various Associations was held at Stuttgard on the 15th of September. The Philhellenic Association of Stuttgard is under the Presidency of M 1 Schote, a celtb ated civilian, for merly Member of the Chamber in Wirtemberg, and one of those persons whose enlightened minds have contributed to improve the present Constitution. In this Sitting the formation of a corps of 600 men, to be under the orders of M. Hephalas, a Greek by birth, was agreed to. This Gentleman was the first to mount to the assault at Tripolitza ; he fought at Leipsic under the standard of Germany, and has been for some time resident at Zutich. This corps is to serve as a germ. It is to be completely equipped according to the European fashion, and even supplied with a military band. Only such individuals are to be received as have served a certain tithe in the Euro pean armies, who can prove their good cooduct by **objectionable certificates, and who may really dis-i pose of themselves without infringing on the duty they owe their country. They are to repair individually to certain destina tions in different parts of Germany, where they will receive arms and necessaries. Al. Hoffman, a rich merchant of Darmstadt, has already obtained for this use 4,000 muskets, which the Government of Darm stadt sold him at the moderate price of two florins thirty kreutzers each, and which were formerly used , lbr the landwehr, suppress.; in Isl 9.

We know that several merchants at Lyons have also established ItPhilhellenic Association, but we do not see that it, or the Association at Paris, has been followed with :Any result.—ConstitutionsBl. • MADRID, SEPTEMBRR is. A great &uncut prevails here. .:The 4evolutionists,. who lately published accounts Of die triumphs ob tained by the friends of the Constitution, know not what to think or say of the interruption of the com munications with the ptovinces beyond the Ebro.— .Since the beginning of the month three tourieri have been intercepted; and yet it had been said that the roads were swept and cleared of the brigartds of the Faith. Riego, who left Madrid on this 3d of this month, passed the sth at Mansanares, where he received se, renades and patriotic harangues. The news of the execution of Elio has produced transports of joy among the Liberals. Ten thousand copies __ of the sentence were re-printed : it is accom panied with songs worthy onlyOf cannibals, in which the same rope (collier) is promised to all•the Serviles. The regiment of cavalry, called of the Constitution, has sent a menacing Address to the King. An in novation is noticed in this piece of soldierlike elo quence. In addressing the King, the words " Your C:onstautional:Mrdasty" are uniformly used. .- ST. PETERSBURGH, SEPTEMBER 4. Recent private letters from Constantinople assure us that public tranquillity is restored in that capital. They neither speak of plague nor war, but they ex pect that peace will be restored through the means employed by the Allies. The terror which affected the Greeks at Smyrna, when they heard of the dis-' aster of the Turkish fleet, lets one judge what uneasi ness it would give them to see a Russian army ap proach Constantinople. Patzscit Fuson, Mitts, Sam 4S.—Five per Cents. opencd4t iSc. Closed at 921 r. 60c. Malta Gazettes and Letters to the 17th inst. have been received, which bring the operations in the 141orea down to the 27th of July only, at which time the admirers of Turkish government had the satisfac tion of reading in the Maltese Gazettes a full account of Mahomedan *virtue and Christian barbality. The Turks, according to these accounts, attempted to put down the rebellion by the most liberal and forgiving policy, until the Chi istians murdered the garrison of Corinth, and then their much-injured opponents found it necessal y to sacrifice the Grecian kostages at Na poli di Romania. Such are the tales which receive circulation from authority amongst the British Islands in the Mediterranean ; but future events will probably chew that on this occasion a few interested individuals are not only derei4ng themselves, but also imposing on a part of the Biitish community. Few, indeed, u. le s biassed by priva ~considerations, would wish dm a Christian population should be !educe I by a ho!..e of barlyirians, whose triumph, if obtained, wou:d be attended only by lawless rapine, debauchery, and death ; for the most desperate state of warfare is heaven itself to the Greek , , when compared to the cruelties and insults to which they must submit, if cursed with a Turkish peace. His Majesty's ship RocneFoal., having the flag of Sir GRAHAM Moonz, sailed from Malta on the 3d. The Ottoman fleet, consisting of eighty sail, had been seen off Cape Matapan, steering to the westward, with the intention, as supposed, of landing troops in the Morea. By advice% from Corfu, it appears that the sentence of the Supreme Council, condemning ANASTASIO CUSIII, of Zante, to six years' imprison ment, has been commuted to banishment from the lonian Islands for the same period—it being under stood that if he shall return within that time the ori ginal sentence will be put in execution with full ri gour. The sentence of death against SGURO and COSTA, of the same island, ha's also been commuted, on similar conditions, for perpetual banishment. The false report lately in circulation, of the appearance of the yellow fever at Bat celona, had reached Malta, and had obtained such implicit credit that the most rigid precautions were immediately adopted against its introduction there. The intelligence is said to , have been sent in an official notice from Marseilles. r This forenoon we received a Lisbon Mail, bringing Papers to the 16th of September. Intelligence is said to have been received by an English packet from Rio Janiero, dated July 3, which states, that the Go vernor of St. Paulo ordered his Procuradores to in form his Royal Highness that that province recog nized no other authority-than that of the Cortes and of the King, and that bis Royal Highness ordered the Precurodores to be arrested. In the Sitting of the Cortes, on the 13th instant, a letter was read from the Minister of Justice, contain ing a statement of what bad been done relative to the individuals who (in consequence of an application to the Cones, on the 99th of April) were ordered to be removed from their places of abode to different parts of the kingdom, because they were declared by public opinion to be the most disaffected and inimical to . the new system, and the term of whose exile was afterwards prolonged, upon a second application to the. Cortes, By great exertions the preliminary investigations respecting the conspiracy have been brought to a copcississait a shorter data than was expected. The goviminsit was eaabketto allow Mika *Mon pits- ... sons to return home, piloted is this affair, re Oro who were the Igth of August, who are to remain seven in number; and T ‘ ~ received permission ber. The Minister of Justice will communicate the result of the proceedings as soon as the guilty are tried- These Papers contain a narrative of the principal' points discussed in the Cortes during the fortnight • preceding. In the Sitting of Sept. 2, .several Deputies brought forward proposals to be discussed in a future Sitting. One by Senor Matioel Patricio Correa de Castro, De puty from Angola, stated that the Cones had -re solved, in their Decree regulating the Election of De puties, that the Kingdoms of Angola, which be had the honour to represent, and that of Benguela, should %end only one Deputy ; and that he thought it his duty to state, that by the census df 1819, that part of the Portuguese Monarchy contained, 202,650 free inhabitants, and, that if not absolutely correct, he could however vouch for its general exactness ; now as the same Decree enacted that there should be a Deputy for every 30,000 individuals, it was clear his Province should have six Deputies, and the pro per number of Substitutes.- Three Deputies had been appointed, but two of them had remained at Rio J aneiro, where he had left them, so that he had the whole weight of the interests of the Province on his hands: he proposed that the Substitute who is at Lisbon should be called upon to take his place in the Cortes, and that Angola should have the number of Deputies, conformable to its population.—Referred to the Committee of the Constitution. Ssrr.4.—The Abbe de Medroes read a motion to the effect that, it appearing that the Prince Royal was disposed to make treaties of amity and corn• merce with some foreign Powers, which might be attended with the most injurious consequences to Portugal, the Government be called upon imme diately to issue a Manifesto, addressed to all nations, disapproving, and declaring to be null and void, all acts, treaties, and proceedings of the Government of Rio de Janeiro, from the 16th of January this year, as arbitrary, illegal, and unjust— , as originating in an illegitimate authority beyond the jurisdiction dele gated by the Kin when he left Rio. to the Stang of the sth inst. the President called on the Committee charged with the drawing up of the-Decrees, relative to the commercial relations of Brazil and Portugal, to eipedite their labours; on which the Reporters stated the reason of the delay, and that the result of their labours would shortly be presented to the Assembly. A project of a Decree was read and approved, for providing for the debt contracted 24th August, 1820, and to meet the expenses of the future year, &c. SEPT.. 6.—A project of an additional law to that on the Liberty of the Press, was read and discussed. In the Sitting of the llth, the Committee o;*Comti tution have proposed the following Decree : 1. That the Decree of the 3d of June last, convoking an as sembly or Constituent Cortes in Brazil, is null. 2. That the Secretaties of Statr at Rio de Janeiro are highly responsible for the illegality of so despotic a Resolution, and shall be impeached. ' 3. That the Government of Rio de Janeiro, disobeying the Cones, and constituting itself independent, contrary to the wishes of the people of Brazil, who are represented in this As sembly, is a Government de facto, and not de jure, and that the voluntary obedience of any authority will be criminal, unless ' ; when compelled by force. 4. That the delegated authority of the Prince shall iipmedi ately cease, and the King appoint a Regency to exercise that authority, in the manner already sanctioned. 5. That the Prince Royal shall return to Portugal within the 'pace of four months reckoning from the daywheli the present Decree shall be notified to him ; and if, contrary to expectation Pe should not obey, the proceedings fixed by the Constitution - shall be adopted. 6. That every Commander of the Land and Sea Forces shall be accounted a traitor who shalt obey the Government of Biel Janeiro, unless compelled by force. 7. That the Government shall try all the means in its power to carry all these resolutions into effect. Ordered to be printed without delay. Sm. 12 and I3.—A project of law was discussed (offered by Senor GURREIRO) on the inviolability of the houses of the Citizens, in ten Articles. The fourth Article fixing the cases in which public officers may enter the houses of private citizens r—lst. To take any criminal condemned to prison.-2. To look fdt contraband goods.-3. To look for stolen goods.— *. To look for arms, papers, or other things, which, from the nature of some crime previously committed, , it was knoWn might serve to prove it.-6. To enter into public houses and taverns when open, and pub lic houses of illegal games. To which M. FIRREIRA DE Sous* propose' to add-6. To look for and take away any woman. who, contrary to the will of her parents, guardians; or husband, may be improperly in the house of a stranger. KVA), Zzu.za was much averse to the second case of seeking for contraband goods; he had seen in England that the house of the citizen was a sacred asylum,. and noliody hid any apprehension that his peace could be disturbed when he had entered into his house. In France and other countries (said he) where I have been, • they speak with much •liberty, but no one goes-home without fearing that some gens.cl'arme or sbirro may disturb his repose. • The several Articles were areal to with <some slight alteration; the is proposed by M. de 'Sousa wore siejoetod. m» ‘v'u ‘ r T .‘-.«.‘U.,. “.4”: .3. . -.

The following affidavit details a most horrid and diabolical act of piracy and murder. The circum stance has been laid belore the Admiral, at which he expressed great abhorrence: he stated, that the first brig of war he could get hold of should be stationed in the quarter where the piracy was committed ; and that he was in hopes that some of our cruizers would capture one of those scoundrels, to enable him to make an example: _ . _• _ " JAMAICA, Personally appeared before me, one of his Majesty's Justices of the Peace, Hugh Hamilton, marivero.vho, being duly sworn, maketh oath and saith, he sailed as Mate on board the sloop Blessing, William Smith, Master ; and had made three voyages from the port of Oracabessa, in this is to St. Jago de Cuba; and that in the return of the fourth voyage of the said sloop, about the beginning of the present month (het the deponent cannot name the day), were fallen in with by a hung black schooner, with black mouldings (then), the name of Era ‘.- nuel marked on her stern, and commanded by a white man, with a mixed crew of colour and countries, among whom were Eng lish or Americans; that after bringing the sloop to, the privateer or pirate's boat came alongside, and took out the Captain and his son, with all the crew, and carried them on board of the schooner, leaving the sloop in the possession of his people; that he demanded of the Captain bis money or his life.-- The Captain persisted that he had none, but proffered him the cargo, which consisted of 100 barrels of flour and .50 tierces of cornmeal (marked' diamond); that on the following day, not producing any money, a plank was ran out in the star board side of the schooner, upon which he made Captain Smith walk, and that, as be approached to the end, they tilted it,whem he dropped into the sea, and there, while in the effort of swim ming, the Captain called for his musket and fired at bins there with,when be sunk and was seen no more. The rest of tl e crew were ironed below,with the exception of his son, a boy of about 14 years of age, who witnessed the fate of his father. While in the agony of tears and crying, the Captain took the butt-end of the musket and knocked the boy on the head, thereafter took him by the foot, and hove him overboard ; that on the day fol lowing this sad event, having previously taken out all the rigging, sails, &c. of the sloop, he set her on fire and burnt her ; and on the same day gave the crew, consisting of three others, and he, this deponent (having stripped us of everything but what we had on our backs),-the jolly-boat, with a bucket of water, and one bisoldt each person, without a compass,which we asked for, • but were refused by his saying "he would sooner give Hell! to be off, or he would sink them." Thus we parted, and In the afternoon of the same day were picked up by the schooner Mary Ann, belonging to Black River, and were landed at Port Morant on the 18th of July, 1848.

Mr.x.—Tbe Captain of the pirate is a tall robust man, swarthy complexion, Roman nose, long visage, but cannot speak to any other particular marks." About the middle of last month a suspicious-look ing schooner, very probably the one alluded to above, was seen hovering off the east end ; and very shortly after she had disappeared, a vessel of war, supposed to be the Tirol:, hove in sight ; and the BUSTARD could not have been far off at the time. It is to be re gretted that she was not fallen in with by either of them, that some of these freebooters of the ocean might have kenn brought to public justice, to atone for such daring crimes, and be the means, in some measure, of deterring others from continuing in them.
