It is in a deplorable s yj ion. The Barbarians are burning and slaughtering in an , directions. Sixty villages are completely destroyed. The Church of a village called Aspropagir is transformed into a Mosque. The • Governor of Cyrinie entered the . Convent of St. Pantrleimon, seized all the Monks, caused them to be saddled like horses, made his gement, mount them, and flog them with whips like cattle. The unhappy men, being unable to support the punishments, ,perished under the blows of their tyrants. A Cavazi (Carom's shiner) sent by the Pacha, and accompanied by troops, went into the Monastery of Elea': he seized all the Monks, put them to the torture, and particularly a certain Silvester. Several of these Unfortunate men died in prison. In the village called Monte, the Turks teak a conslderable number of women and little children, shut them up In n house to which they set fire, and in which alt ' these unfortunate beings were consumed. The fire was commu nicated to the neighbouring houses , and from thence was props- I gated throughout all the village.—Such is the melancholy Atuation ! of an Island which has remained tranquil and peaceful, and with out taking part in the movement of the other Greeks." . Extract of a letter from Leghorn, dated 28th Sept. " Towards the end of the month of February the Peloponnesian !Antilles of Apostolo Teruca and Niccolas Crizso were made pri soners by the Algerines before Patters. They were at first taken to Egypt, and thence to Mitilene, when the Algenlue fleet re burned to the Archipelago. Two English vessels presented them selves before the Algerine fleet, and after many menaces, deli vered these unfortunate beings. The following is extracted from a letter by one of the captives : Cdt quitting Barbary we ar lived at Iditikne, when the Algerine Admiral resolved to send sta to Algiers. But on the 10th of the month of July .two English vessels came in quest of us, and by dint of threatening.. the Turks delivered us up. We asked Captain Mout:roe to transport us to Zante, and he did so without hesitation. The Captain took great care of us. We feel very grateful to him. In the position in which we now find ourselves we can only offer up our prayers to the Suesizatx Buse for the happiness of our benefactor.'" STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The Piedniontese Gazette of the 31 inst. received this morning, contains the following notice of the preparations for the Congress at Verona: TURIN, OCTOBER 3. Accounts from Verona of the 24th ult. state that the preparations for the reception of the Sovereigns are proceeding with the utmost diligence. Ilk Im perial Highness the Archduke Viceroy was expected, 1)3 view the arrangements. It is generally believed that the Sovereigns will be assembled in that city about the middle of the present month. Nis Majesty the King of Naples, say accounts from that city of the 21st September, had been confined some days to his apartments by a pain in the right leg, which seemed likely to end in erysipelas; but he left his room that day, being perfectly recovered, and se:mingly in the hest health. By a Decree of the 12th, his Majesty has abolished the Permanent Junta of Public Instruction, and has placed the University Degli &ail, the Lyceums, the Colleges, and Schools, under a President, who, with a Board of Professors, will examine everything rela tive to public instruction, the means of improving it, fa. Monsignor D. Carlo Rosini, Bishop of Poz zuoli, has been nominated by his Majesty President of the University. By a German Mail which reached us this forenoon, we have received the Austrian Observer to the Sd, and the Journal slf Frankart to the 9th instant. The latter contains an article from Tinos, one of the Cy clades in the Archipelago, dated the Sd of August, which states, that great alarm had been felt at the entrance of the Turks into the hlorea. That alarm, we presume, is by this time allayed, since there can be no doubt that the incursion of the Turks into the hlorea has been most disastrous to them. The writer of the article from Tinos, who, after all, is perhaps only some Austrian mercenary, expresses great anxiety for the safety of the Islands, and quotes the fate of &io as a lesson for those who revolt against their Sove reign in Turkey ; while " Izra, loaded with favours by the Porte, and enjoying uninterrupted peace, will bear testimony of the reward reserved for a [people which has been able to resist the example of folly the most seductive, and, at the same time, the must per ftdious suggestions, and which has braved every threat, to remain faithful to its Sovereign."

Ocr. I - - This forenoon we received intelligence from Bayonne to the 9th instant. An article from Madrid, dated the SOth ultimo, states, that in consequence of the arrival. of an extraordinary courier from Paris, the Council of State was assembled on the preceding day, to examinea very important communication made by the Allied Powers, concerning the change to be made in the Constitution decreed.hy the Co - rtes. The debates were extremely animated. The partisans of a change shAwed the necessity of it , on ac c ount of I the critical situation of affairs, and the disasters which afflict the nation; but the Members of the Coancil,of the zealous Constitutional party, though inferior in numbers, decidedly rejected the proposal, the bare report of which has irritated in the highest degree the minds of the people. The final result of the meeting is not yet known, but it is generally believed that the liberal party will triumph. On this 6ccasion a report is spread. that Sir WILLIAM A'Couter , the Brit ish Ambassador,' waited on the kiiro, and gave him to understand, that if he thought fit to reject the proposals of the My Alliance, he might depend upon all kinds of assistance from his Government, to repel every in. .vasion by foreign troops. The account adds—" We believe, however, that this story is a mere fiction of the violent patty, who take .pleasure in circulating a report throughout the Peninsula, that a treaty of alliance will speedily be included between Spain and Great Britain; t he sole object of which report is to encourage people's minds; which are rather depressed by the defeat of Tasvanca and the progress of EROLLES, which they daily read in the Bulletin of the. Regency oftrgel, which is clan destinely circulated in the capital. At all events, the reception that Sir W. A'CovnT daily experiences at Madrid, proves the desire of the Patriots to engage the nation in their cause. It is also hoped that an offensive and defensive alliance will be soon con cluded between Spain and Portugal. It is certain that the exchange of couriers between the two Cabi nets is very frequent." The accounts from Bayonne state the arrival of military stores in that town, but no troops. Lieute nant-General Count AUTICRAMP, with the whole Staff of the Veventh Military Division, had also find his head-quarters there, and five hundred horse ar tillery were expected. The road from Iron to Ma drid is now safe, and the intercourse of couriers be tween Madrid and Paris is frequent, and meets with little interruption. There is nothing new from the three disturbed provinces. The Constitutionalists have occupied the coast from St. Sebastian to Bilboa, and continue to make excursions into the interior, in concert ss ith the Magistrates : this has had so good an effect that there arc no bands of above forty men ; but, on the other band, the distlict of Santander is greatly disturbed by the remains of the bands of Biscay and Cuebellas, which have thrown them selves into it. The Royalists still occupy Irati, and the valley of Roncal. A column of 1500 men advanced towards Taialla, for the purpose, it is said, of protecting the at rival of QUESADA, who was even - said to be, on the Ist, at Sos, in Arragon ; but there is no positive in formation on this head. The Board of Health in Bayonne had received an' express from the French Consul at Cadiz, with the news that the epidemic disease had manifested itself in that port. A courier was immediately sent to Paris, Letters received at Bayonne from Madrid, by ex press, speak of the approaching execution of a plan for a Dictatorship in Spain, at the head of which would be placed General BALLASTEROS, with the title of Generalissimo of the Army, and full powers. The French Papers of Sunday have been received: their contents are not very important. The Editors of the Opposition Journals, whose cases are to he heard by appeal to-morrow before the Court of Cas eation, have published a vindication of their conduct. A Montpelier Journal asserts that waggons, cha riots, and ammunition, pass daily in great numbers through that town for the frontiers. For several days past detachments of mounted gendarmes had arrived at Perpignan, with Officers to organize them. They are to be employed in aid of the Police and Army of Observation. A battalion of the 7th Regiment of Infantry of the Line and some companies of other Re giments entered Perpignan on the 4th, to .garrison the town. An estafette which arrived at Toulouse on the 6th, was the bearer of orders relative to the disposition of the troops and their new quarters, in. consequence of the breaking up of the Sanatory Cordon of the Py rennet'. General Count de Llama BILAIR having finished his inspection of the troops, will return to Toulouse in the worse of the week. The French Government, though not burdened with a national debt like that of England, sees the necessity of economy, and is considerably reducing its expenc;i. tare. The redaction in the office of the Finance 111i nister amounts to 130 persons, some of whom are ap pointed to other offices in different parts of the king dom, and others are put on half-pay.—The following are extractst 3 • *AIM WWl= $3.

Belie?, at three leagues from Puycerda, and six leagues from the sea, is only occupied by the inha bitants, as well as that part of Spanish Cerdagna. The Royalists who were at Figueras are gone to join Misas, at Olot. Before their departure they levied a contribution of six or 700 quadruples on that part of the Lampourdan. All the divisions of the Army of the Faith march on Salsona, to cover Urgel, and wait for Mina in a firm attitude. They occupy posi tions which nature has made formidable, and which art and engineering will render impregnable. Great events are expected. The following are the operations of Mina, from the 3d of September, the day of his arrival : " The 10th, he published the well-known PrOcla clamation ; the 11th and 12th, he was occupied in organizing at Lerida the first division of his army, And gave the command of it provisionally to General Torrijos ; the 15th, he marched with this General and his division; and at the night-fall arrived at Bellpuig. The next day, -at two in the morning, in the design of surprising the besiegers of the fort of the Univer sity, he went towards Cervera with all the Chasseur companies of the army, the Miquelets of Carlos, Car denas, and Camarasa, and 75 horse of the Prince, leaving a: Bellpuig General Torrijos, that he might follow the movement, with the rest of the troops, at three o'clock on the morning of the 14th, which was executed. " An advanced post of the Royalists, at a league and a quarter from Cervera, was informed of the march of this column. This post, after having fired a round, fled in the darkness to warn the besiegers.— Mina then began to prepare for an attack, advancing guerillas of infantry and cavalry to discover the posi tion of the Royalists. At half-past five, he was before Cervera, but on entering the town, he saw that not only the troops of the Faith .had abandoned it to go to the Fort of St. Ramon, but also that the inha bitants had deserted their dwellings in the fear of a new pillage. " Mina encamped his troops, issued•an order for the return of the inhabitants to their houses, prescrib ing the most severe discipline to the troops, particu !ally the respect of property. He then ordered Ge neral Torrijos to leave at Tarrega the regiment of Ferdinand VII. and all the cavalry, and to bring the rest of the infantry to join lam. "The inhabitants returned to their homes after they were informed of the precautions taken, and General Torrijos entered Cervera• about eleven the same day, the 14th. In the evening Mina was in formed that Fort St. Ranson, distant two leagues from the town, was abandoned. " After having renewed and increased the garrison of the fort, and having provisioned it by means of communication with the troops of Tarrega, he left the town on the 21st with General Torrijos. On the 24th he was at Calaf. There Mina has published a new Proclamation, in which he exhorts the inhabit ants of Catalonia to return to their homes, and an nounces that he will suspend his operations till the 25th: On the 20th they will begin again. It is not yet known whether a great number have profited by this amnesty. "Colonel Costa, scarcely restored to liberty, has organised at Barcelona five or six battalions of com muneros, and it was stated in that city on the 28th. ult. that they were going to march to join Milans, who manoeuvres on the right of Mina. " Mosen Anton on the 24th attacked, with 1,500 men, the fort of La Piedad, and the Capuchin Con vent of Areuys del Mar. Rifle firing was kept up for three hours. The artillery firing was directed by Brigadier Manso, who was bY - chance on his passage through the town. Mosen Anton, informed by trusty persons of the advance of a party of militia, with-. drew into the mountains." "Every day. Asays the Veridigue of Montpelier) we see a great quantity of caissons, waggons, and am munition pass to the frontier, it is said from the arse nal of Toulouse. Within a few days detachments of horse gene-d'armeries haie arrived, which are to be organised for Police and correspondence of the Corps of Observation." CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPTEMBER 10. Lord Strangford has been charged by the Porte with an important declaratioa for the Congress, it is a sort of protest against every attempt of the Euro pean Powers to intermeddle with the internal affairs of the Ottoman Empire. The Porte declares that it is capable of arranging them itself without foreign assistance. VIENNA, OCTOEIfR s.

This measure proves 'evidently the embarrassment of the Turkish tnancet, Once the Greeks no longer supply the necessities of the Treasury. The latest arrivals from Rio Janeiro bring 2n im portant State Paper. It is a " Manifesto of the PRINCE REGENT of BRAZIL to friendly Governments and Nations." This document, which is dated the 6th of August, is drawn up with great ability, and gives a dear exposition of the state of the Brazils, and of the dissolution of the relations of that country with Portugal. " The People of the Brazils * " says the PRINCE, " have proclaimed in the face of the Universe their political independence, and desire, as forming a sister kingdom' and a great and powerful nation, to maintain unimpaired and in vigour their imprescriptible rights, which Portugal has always sought to infringe, and Which she now more than ever endeavours to assail." The tyranny of the Portuguese Government over the Brazils is powerfully depicted. " While the Portuguese Government (says this State Paper), with insatiable voracity, devoured te treasures which beneficent nature so liberally sur. plied, it oppressed the Unfortunate provinces whence the wealth was drawn by the most odious of all im posts—the Capitation Tax. It was Wished to make the Brazilians pay for the air they breathed, and for liberty to tread the soil of their native land. If the industry of some active man was directed to the giving a new form to certain native productions, that Brazil might clothe the nakedness of her own children, tp ranuical laws soon prohibited and punished these praiseworthy efforts. The object of the Europeans has constantly been to retain this fine country in the most rigid and abject dependence on the mother conntry, because they judged it necessary to the se curity of their dominion, that the perennial sources of our riches should be obstructed or impoverished:' After enumerating a host of grievances, the docu ment proceeds Finally, when the Brazilian, on whom bountiful nature bad bestowed talents, wished, for the better knowledge of his rights and duties, to obtain instruction in science or in arts, or to improve the excellent qualities with which PROVIDENCE has endowed his native land, he was obliged to go to Portugal, to beg what little scraps of information were to be found there, and from that country Lc was often not permitted to return." The attempts of Portugal to keep the Brazils in subjection are noticed at great length, and the Pat NCE ItaGENT concludes his Manifesto with declaring his deteimination to preserve the independence of the Brazils at the expense of his blood ; and by expres sing a hope " that sensible and impartial men, all over the world, and that the Governments and na tions friendly to Brazil, will render justice to such honest and noble sentiments. The ports of Brazil (says he) shall continue open to all pacific and friendly nations, for lawful trade nor prohibited by the laws. European colonists who emigrate hither, may rely on being protected in this rich and hospitable country. Philosophers, artists, capitalists, and speculators, will also experience a friendly reception. And as Brazil will respect the rights of other legitimate Govern ments, she hopes, as a just return, that her unalienable rights a ill be by them respected and acknowledged, and that she may not, in the opposite case, be placed ' under the painful necessity of acting contrary to the ' dictates of her generous heart." During last week upwards of 30,000 quarters of wheat were imported from Ireland alone into Liver pool, and the whole was sold partly to consumers and partly to speculators, at 325. a quarter, calcu lating the weight to be 601bs. a bushel. If the Irish Agricultmits were allowed to reap the advantage of their immense export transactions, neither famine, distress, nor crime would be long felt amongst them. In that country, however, at present, the drones of the hive live on the labour of the bees. Cardinal GABRIELLI has yielded at last to his long and painful illness. He was born in 1748, and ob tained the purple in 1801. It is probable that hi; death will induce the POPE to make a new promotion of Cardinals. The number at present is forty-five, of which thirteen are Romans, eight Lombard- Auttriaus, one Bavarian. two Tuscans, seven Neapolitans, five Piedrnontese, two French, two Spanish, and one Portuguese. FUNERAL OF THE DUCHESS 01 NEWCASTLE.--On Tuesday 44 the remains of her Grace were consigned to the grave at Bothum%al Church, four miles from the family mansion of Clumber Park : at the same time was interred, sLady ANNA MARIA P&LHAU CLINTON, their Graces' eldest daughter, who died in the spring of this year, and whose body was removed from Mary-la-bonne Church, to be deposited in the same vault with her departed parent. The funeral procession was very splendid, but the most interesting part of it was the band of charity children, clothed and educated by her Grace, all in deep mourning.— The hearse was followed by many carriages of noble families, anxious to chew their esteem for the deceased. The number of persons who were collected together seemed by their deportment deeply to feel the loss they had sustained, by the surly death of their noble benefactress, whose charities cheered the surround ing peasantry, and whose domestic virtues . wen a blunt% to her family. • • frai Li 4 • L• •_• o the taking bf Tarragona are ns J those o f that salutes, gem that caterer he blockade of Lerida, lutd‘of a victory ion Thbisond,bringing intelligence he 22d, by the Baron d'Broles over hfiek Clintbati defeated the Turks on that sic rery day the former was at Urge' , where be received tnaby men in this affair. he congratulations of the Regency on the result of Besides the Firman of the Gr .: -~ I!4 (1 i t?
