We stated in our Paper of yesterday that a severe action had taken place between the Patriot General SAN i MARTIN and the Royalists, in which the latter had I been defeated ; and that an Armistice had been con elided in consequence. The terms of that Armistice, which was signed on the 24th of May, was for a period of twenty days, during which the respective armies were to keep the positions they then occupied. The Armistice will be found in another column, as well as some interesting details on the subject of the blockade enforced by Lord COCHRANE, and dis puted, so far as relates to Britis h vessels, by Sir Tao- SIAS HARDY. The intelligence from the seat of war in Turkey, though perhaps entitled to a qualified degree of cre dit, concurs in representing the cause of the Greeks as assuming a more favourable aspect than it has worn for some months. Letters from Odessa of the 25th ult. represent every thing as very tranquil. One of the letters, however, mentions a fact which would seem to set at rest, at least for this year, the question of hostilities. The Commander-in-Chief of the Russian army of the South (Count WITTGENBTSIN) had set out from that place for the Crimea, on an excursion of pleasure, or to a.. range some Ovate affairs ; and the writer, who, we understand, is in great habits of intimacy with the Count, says that he would be absent about a month. Mails from Lisbon and Flanders came to hand this morning ; the only articles of interest which they con tain are annexed : LISBON, OCTOBER L THE CORTE& In the Sitting of the 29th September, the order of the day was the Decree respectin4 the duties to be imposed on the importation of brandy, which gave rise to a long and warm debate. The Deputies from the Island of Madeira declared, that it was necessary that Portuguese brandy should be allowed to be im ported into their Island, without duty, and the duty on foreign brandy diminished, that proposed being too heavy, because brandy is necessary to miz with the wine intended for the London and American markets. Some Deputies, on the other hand, affirm that for merly brandy was not imported into the island of Madeira to mix with the wines, which were then of excellent quality, and celebrated all over the world ; that it was only in the time of a certain Governor thaeit had been allowed, but that it was an abuse, and contrary to express laws. The debate on this subject was adjourned. In the same Sitting the measures taken by the Go vernment to repress the banditti who openly brave the laws in various pasts of the kingdom, were com municated to the Assembly. A very long Circular • of the Government has been published, inviting the Provincial Authorities to use the utmost vigilance to examine the passports of all persons with the greatest care ; to impress on the people the necessity of asso ciating and going in bodies in quest of the robbers ; to apprehend them, and to deliver them to the nearest Magistrate, with the booty they have made, and with all the proofs that can be collected of their crimes. The Magistrates are to make the people comprehend that, by thus acting for their own de fence and security, they will imitate the most polished nations in Europe, who consider it as one of their first duties not to permit such criminals to harbour among them, but to denounce them to the Magis trates, and assist the latter, when necessary, that :he criminals may suffer the penalties of the law. In the Sitting of the 2d October, M. Fernandez Thomas made two proposals, which were approved : a. That the nation being very ill served by foreigners acting as Consuls, they should be removed, and Portuguese appointed in their stead. 2. That it being indubitable that there were Portuguese so degenerate that they sought by discourse and conversation, both public and private, to disturb the new order of things, and to sow distrust among the people, be proposed that the Committee should draw up and lay before the Cortes a project of criminal law, to punish, es traitors to the nation, (keeping in view the or dinance of the kingdom on this subject) all those who shall IA this manner disturb public order and tranquillity. The Decrees respecting the organization of the provinces of Brazil are now published officially, a s well as that on the constitution and powers of the Connell of State. In the Sitting of the Cortes on the Sd, M. Mown Taysaes brought forward two motions, which were reserved for a second reading. Ist. On the large giants of land made in Brazil, which were an injury to the poor, and he wished to have the grants restricted to what is sufficient for a inan and his family, &c. The 2d was in favour of the unhappy abo r i g ines dr Brazil, who ought to be treated with mildness, and preserved in the inviolable possession of all the land which they now have, as the conduct of WI/ liam Penn towards the Indians should be taken as a model. BRUSSELS, OCTOBER IS. The Gazette of Dordrecht publishes accounts from Java to the 29th of May. They confirm the state ment of the decrease of the malady, and state that it was almost wholly conquered in the district of Sama rang ; but that 18,000 persons, mostly Europeans, had fallen victims. Batavia and Sourabaya were still infected. • The inhabitants highly praise file soli citude of the Governor-General, who would not quit. the capital. VIENNA, OCTOBER 6. The negociations of the Ministers of Austria and England with the Divan, to prevent a rupture, con tinue ; and it is affirmed that they have succeeded in inducing the Porte to concede several of the princi pal points demanded by Russia. FRANKFORT, OCTOBER 13. ,The increase of the Austrian troops about Como, appears to have given rise, in the Canton of Tossion, to an ill-founded report, that the Austrians were going to occupy that Canton. The Council of the Canton have published a Proclamation, to remove the alarm which this false report had created. French Papers of Friday last arrived this morning. The following are extracts : The latest bulletins state the Archbishop of PARIS to be growing much weaker. Count MONTHOLON, on landing at Calais, in the night of the 17th inst. with his family, announced that General BERTRAND would arrive on the fol lowing day. His MAJESTY, by an Ordinance of the sth of Sep tember, has ordered payment of such share of the compensation as had been made by the Royal Trea sury to the Department of the Somme, for their losses during the military occupation in 1815. The last news from Frankfort announces that the King of ENGLAND would leave Hanover on the 23c1 or 24th inst. It is believed that his MAJESTY will stop at Gottingen and at Cassel, and that he will not reach Frankfort until the 28th or 29th. By a letter from Frankfort of the 15th instant, we learn that the negociations of the Court of Vienna with the house of ROTHSCHILD, for a new loan of considerable amount, is still carrying on. We are assured that it will soon be concluded, and that the terms will be highly favourable to Messrs. ROTHS CHlLD.—Constitutionnel. Letters from Lyons, of the 16th instant, state that all vessels arriving at Marseilles from the ports of Italy were subjected to a quarantine of thirty days. The news of the yellow fever at Leghorn arose from a brief report that a vessel arriving there from Batavia had introduced the cholera morbus and its accessaries. Intel l ligence from Bayonne to the 13th, states, that the prohibition against importing Spanish merchan dize is most rigorously enforced, and that no Spa niards are allowed to pass the frontiers without Un dergoing a quarantine in the lazarettos of Teuhsa and of Behobia, even though they should be fur nished with passports and a ticket of health from their respective departments. A Proclamation has been issued at Turin to pro tect the States of Piedmont from the fever, by which it is ordered, that no traveller shall enter that coun try from France, unless he is provided with a certifi cate of health from the French Authorities. It appears by an article from Leghorn, that on the 14th ult. the Turkish fleet, consisting of thirty-two vessels or war, had anchored in the road of Zaute. From Trieste it is stated, that the Turkish fleet was only fourteen vessels, and that they quitted Zante ou the 17th, with the intention of revictualling Pre ' vesa. The Greek fleet had quitted the ports of Idra and Paxa, and an engagement was immediately expected. A letter from Nuremburg, of the 13th of October, states, that Prince CA LLIMACHI, the Hospodar of Wallachia, had been exiled from Constantinople.— The Pacha of Bosnia had been obliged to send a de tachment of troops into Albania to reinforce the army of Gourchild In Bessarabia all was tranquil. The Russian troops, in cantonments in that Province, had not made any hostile movement. A letter from Jassy of the 23d of September, states, that on the 16th of that month, 5000 Turks, under the orders of SELIHA Bay, had attacked the Convent of Seck. The Greek garrison received them with a well-directed discharge of musketry, which killed I I a hundred of the enemy. The Turks set the Con vent on fire, but the Greeks who had posted them selves in a small vaulted bastion, kept up a brisk fire with such effect, that the Turks were obliged to retreat with a loss of2ooo men in killed and wounded. The richest Boyars had deposited their most valuable effects in this Convent, which have been entirely de stroyed by the flames, to the value of several millions of piastres. Notwithstanding theFirman of the GRAND SEIGNIOR, the Turks still commit every species of depredation. The Nuremburg Correspondent mentions an engage ment between the Greeks and the Turks, on the 10th ult. near Dorna, to the advantage of the latter. It is stated in the same Paper, that the Court of Russia insists upon two principal points from the Turks: namely, the evacuation, by the Ottoman troops, of Moldavia and Wallachia. agreeable to an cient treaties; and a guarantee to the Greeks. The Porte is said to be willing to evacuate these princi palities; but there is some difficulty in arranging the' guarantee to the Greeks, which it is not improbable a Congress may be called upon to determine. The intelligence from Barcelona is not of a later date than se have previously given. The Bishop et ToarosA has fallen a victim to the malady. - It is stated from Hanover, that the States of that kingdom were immediately to be convoked, in order to submit to the King a proposition for relieving the kingdom from maintaining an army so dispropor tionate to its population. To effect this it would be proposed that 15,000 Hanoverian should be employed in the garrisons of Malta and the lonian Islands. The King of the NETHERLANDS opened the Meet ing of the States General, at the Hague, on the 15th instant, in a speech, in which he congratulates them on the continuance of peace—the favourable prospect of internal tranquillity: commerce and navigation are not diminished, but the state of manufactures is not equally prosperous. A revision of the financial system his MAJESTY declares to be necessary, as, though the produce of some of the taxes has been greater, that of the imposts has decreased. His MA JESTY concludes with expressing his satisfaction at the labours of the States-General for the revision - Of the Civil Codes, and says some new Projects will be submitted to their consideration on this subject. Messrs. PssEux and Hounix, Editors of the Ghent Journal, have been tried for libels, relative to Naples, and found guilty. The trial lasted two days. M. Pent= was fined 1200 florins, and M. HOUDIN 600. French Funds.—Five per Cents. Oct. 19, 89fr.— Bank Stock, 1592 fr. 50c. Jamaica Papers to the sth of September arrived this morning. BRIDGE TOWN (BARBADOES), JULY 31. This day his Excellency Lieutenant-General Sir Henry Warde, our Governor, opened the Assembly with the following speech : "Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Council— I feel truly sensible of the high honour which his Majesty has been graciously pleased to confer on me, by placing me as Governor over such a most parti cularly respectable and enlightened body of people as those of this old established Colony ; and I can most conscientiously affirm that I do, and I hope ever shall, entertain an earnest desire to carry on the arduous duties of my situation (as far as the friilties of human nature will admit of), aided by the very able advice of the President and Council, with justice, _ _ integrity, aid impartiality, according to the best of my abilities. " I could have wished to have informed myself on many points connected with my Government, but fearing being biassed in my opinion, by learning too much, I have preferred remaining in ignorance, hoping that I might gradually inform myself, with out any serious detriment to your interest. I under stand, however,that some material defects have been discovered in the laws relating to the prosecution of slaves for criminal offences which cannot too soon be remedied ; I therefore submit this subject to your immediate consideration." Government feel the necessity of extraordinary exertions to preserve the public tranquillity in Ire land, at present interrupted ; and several regiments of Infantry have been ordered to take up their quar ters in the disturbed districts. We have just learnt that JAMES BARNETT, Esq. has accepted the Treasurership to the Indemnity Fund for Sir ROBERT WILSON; and we have .the further pleasure of stating, that Mr. 13. will attend the Public Meeting on Thursday nest, at the City of London Tavern. DRURY-LANE THEATRIL—Last night, the boards of Old Drury were adorned, for the first time this season, with one of their brightest ornaments—that inimitable child of nature—Miss KELLY. The cha racter in uhich she appeared was that of. Variella, in the Farce of the Weathercock ; one not altogether cal culated to call her great talents into action, but there is nothing to which she does not impart interest.— Her reception by the audience, we scarcely need say, was most cordial and hearty. HARLEY was full of life and bustle, as usual, and seldom allowed to the audience even a short repose of their risible muscles. ADELPIII TitExran.—The new Piece, under the title of the The Corsair's Bride, which was brought out last night at this very entertaining little Theatre, met. with complete success. Mr. WILKINSON dis played much humour, and was greeted with frequent bursts of laughter and applause. Mr. CHARLES VESTRIS, the son of STEPHANIVES- 1 rats the Poet, and Madame BONEI VESTRIS, are en gaged for the ensuing season at the King's Theatre. l , Madame VESTA'S is the sister of Madame DE Roust DE BEGNI, and is said to eclipse her sister in attrac tiveness of person.

HANOVER, OCTOBER ie. , On the 12th, in the forenoon, his Arastsry pleased to give a private audience to the General Chief, Count BENNINGSEN, accompanied by th e . Countess BENNINGSEN. His MAJESTY then gave a public audience, sittin t on the Throne, and surrounded by the Dukes of Car e. s o a ls a c t ers ataa of an th d eCourt, CAMBRlDGE, Bcc.t t o be th N e lti e s p te u r t s a , the ch t.w i t : the General Assembly of the States of the Kingdm a . The Hereditary Lord Marshal was at their head. having on his right hand the President of the Firs Chamber, and on his left the President of theSe em i Chamber. His MAJESTY replied in the most grad ate terms to the Address spoken by the President, Court VAURVILD. The High Chamberlain then presenrej in succession Deputations from Public B o di es and Cities, his MAJESTY received them stan,fi ng and answered the Addresses most graciously in the Ge r . man linguage. In the afternoon his MAJESTY was most agreeably surprised by the arrival of his Royal Highness th e Landgrave of HESSE HOMBURG, who reached Him ver some days sooner than the accounts that had bees received gave reason to evyect. In the evening, the Officers of all the Corps ga ve his MAJESTY a serenade by torchlight. Hi, 11 4 . JESTY, attended by all the Royal and Noble Penne. ages now with him, appeared at the balcony of the Palace towards the garden, and was welcomed with the loudest acclamations. On the 13th, the titriG reviewed the troops assail. bled on a plain near Stocken. Ilk MAJESTY dined at a table of forty-six covers, at %% hid' all the 11 1 4 Princes and Princesses, and the foseign Princes ssor here were present, as well as the foreign Jlinistersts this Court, and those who have come on special sions, his MAJESTY'S Ministers and their Ladies, th e Marquis of LONDONDERRY, and several foreign G e , nerals and Admirals now here. On the 14th, his MAJESTY transacted husinea with Count MUNSTER and the Marquis of LONDOI. DERRY. In the ensuing night his MAJESTY sa seized with an attack of the gout is the knee. On the 15th, he saw only the Royal Princes, ad the Landgravine of Hesse HOMBURG. The attack of the gout, under which the Kim suffers, is but slight, and as the accounts of last night are not more unfavourable than those of the preent. lug, we may entertain the hope of seeing his Masurr speedily recovered. The audiences to have been give yesterday to several foreign Ministers were necessarily put off. The serenade by torch-light, given by the Officer; had an uncommonly fine effect. Above 1000 torches, collected in a small compass, in the garden of He. renhausen, spread a mass of light which at a gra distance was taken for a large ball of fire. At the review of the l 3th, fourteen battalions 4 infantry, several brigades of artillery, and eightregi. ments of cavalry, were collected. The KING, whose arrival and departure a Royal salute vas fired, first rode along the line ; by his side was lit Royal Highness the Governor-General, behind hs MAJESTY the Princes on horseback, and the Prin• cesses, and a numerous suite, in carriages drawn by six and four horse. Both the troops and the numerous spectators (200 carriages were drawn up opposite the line) received his MaJesyt with the most enthusiastic transportsof loyalty. When the Kxxo had returned tothecelet, the Governor-General placed himself at the head the corps, which then marched in parade beforeds KING. The Duke of CUMBERLAND was at theta of the 2d Regiment of Hulans. The infantry he returned to its cantonments and to the Connote cavalry and horse artillery turned to the left, Wei passed his MAJESTY at full gallop. Everybody'll. sent, strangers as well as natives, admired the ie appearance of the troops, and his MAJESTY meal his satisfaction in the most flattering manner.
