This forenoon we received a Flanders and Dutch Mail, with Brussels Papers to the 26th instant, and Dutch papers one day later. They confirm the re port of the Greeks having seized several Turkish ves sels in the roads of Damietta. Colonel Vox Goncum has boo engaged since the end of last month, together with the. Commissioner of his Majesty the King of Famtca, in surveying and finally determining the limits between the two kingdoms, from the Sambre to the Meuse. Letters from Paris affirm, that several Dignitaries of the Order of Malta mow in that capital, have well foanded hopes of seeing their applications to the So vereigns met at Verona completely successful. The great difficulty wid be to give them an island iu the Mediterranean for the Seat of the Order. England will never consent to give np Malta, which insures its maritime supremacy in these seas, and which fortunate circumstances have placed in its hands.— Sardinia is again thought of, and it is even said that proposals have been made to the Court of Turin to cede that island, on receiving a sufficient indemnity. What we here say, is founded on information received at Paris from Verona, which seems to be of a nature to merit attention. i I German Papers assert, that a resolution is again stated to have been taken by the Congress at Verona, 1 relative to individuals condemned by the tribunals in 'their own country for political offences, and who have sought an asylum in foreign States. The following are extracts : FRANKFORT, NOVEMBER si. The O,iental Spectator contains the following ar. tide, dated Smyrna, October 18 : ig According to positive information which we have received from Damietta subsequent to the 15th of September, four Greek Insurgent vessels, sus pected to be Cazziots, came to the roads of Damietta, where, without loss of time, they made themselves snasters of 13 small Turkish vessels or barks, which had their :argoes on board. One of them had nearly a million of piastres ; the whole was intended for the Turkish fleet. The Greeks chose three of these ves sels, into which they removed the cargoes of all the others, consisting chiefly of rice. They took away these three and left the others: they did not even touch the cargo of one which had goods on board bearing European marks." Accounts from Vienna of the 16th November have been received at Frankfort, by express. At the same time news was received of the falling of the French and Spanish bonds; they had also llessenfromiTerona, the contents of which were fiery pacific. They stated, among other particulars, that the Congress would close by the end of the month, before which time all its labours would be completed. These accounts have had ss favourable effect here oa the price of the Austrian funds. VERONA, NOVEMBER U. It was thought. some time ago, that Om twaeuatiosi of PleaKet bYtho 44striA4 Imps was a point agraad ~a cop Soen-in theofoliminity canferdtseis which took place * at 'Vienna between Prince IVl:etternich and the Ministers of the other great Powers. It is now re ported, however, that unexpected dilicukies have arisen on . this subject, because Austria judges it re quisite for the maintenance of tranquillity in the kingdom of Lombardy and Venice, to retain, for a certain time, a numerous garrison of its own troops in the fortress of Alexandria. Cardinal Spina has exerted hiniself in favour of the Greek Deputation lately landed at Ancona ; and, it should seem with some success, the Congress having Lied Rovendo, four leagues from this place, as the temporary abode of the Greek Deputies. Thence' they will send to the Sovereigns a detailed memorial on the present state of their country. If this news' should, prove true, it is a great point gained ; and it is not doubted, that after the arrival of Count Capo d'lstria and of Baron Stroganoff, the Deputies will be allowed to come here, to give the' necessary informa tion to guide the Ministers in their deliberations on the affairs of Greece and Turkey. Bayonne Papers to the 22d instant reached us this forenoon. The following is the only interesting ar ticle they contain: BAYONNIE. NOVEMBER 11. A report has just been spread in this city, that Ge neral Torrijos, who had been fur some days in the vicinity of Salvatierra, four leagues from Vittoria, at the head of about 2,500 men, had an engagement on the 15th with the united bands of Navarre and the three ptovinces in the Valley of La Boronda, and that he completely routed them. We cannot guarantee this news. It is affirmed that three batteries, of eight pieces of cannon each, have received orders to march for this place at the first notice. Major-General Longa arrived yesterday at Socoa, flying from the Constitutionalists. It is known that. he was implicated in the affair of the 7th of July, and that he had even shewn himself on that day. Yes ' terday, sonic unfortunate inhabitants of Estella, who had been taken prisoners by Guerguet and Arre dendo, and who saved their lives only by promising a sum of money, caused 50,000 francs to. be paid to the Defenders of the Faith who are at Bayonne.— People even go so far as to mention the House which has advanced the money, which is truly scandalous. All the accounts from Verona, whether in private letters direct from that city or in the French Papers, concur in representing the labours of Congress as drawing to a close : but as to what those labours have really been, the Gentlemen of Verom. appear to know as little as the inhabitants of Otaheite or Kamts chatka. They talk of Sittings held on such and such days, and cf the subjects supposel to be discussed, but there is not a word that can be relied on how they terminated, We are told that the first object of the Allies was to put an end to the war in Spain, but while they have been deliberating, MXNA and the Constitutional forces under his command have pretty nearly done that business without the pestilential in terference of the Holy Alliance : had this not been the case, the firmness of the British Cabinet in pro tecting Spain from foreign attack, must have neu tralised the intentions of the other Powers. Ns to what the Congress may do or attempt to sio in the affairs of Greece the Public "is weary of conjecture." In the STAR of yesterday we stated, on the autho rity of a French Paper of . Tuesday, which we had received by express, that a Commercial Treaty had been concluded between this country and Spain. We have now received the other Paris Journals of the same day, all of which contain the same statement and it appears to have created some uneasiness iri Paris. The Constilutionnel says— " If this news should unfortunately prove true, our trade will owe the serious injury it must experience to the absurd and anti-national fury of the fanatical party. But what signifies our commerce or our manufactures ? The cause of the Inquisition and absolute power in Spain is far more important to the prosperity 6f France." .;-~..~, .. ~ ~ _ •, • According to information from Madrid, declared to be well authenticated, authority was granted to, the Executive Government, in the sitting of the Cortes oa the 14th instant, to negotiate a Commercial Treaty with Great Britain. The intelligence from Spain is highly gratifying. We yesterday announced that the Trappist had abandoned the rebels to their fate. The French Government, as we are informed, has official intelligence of the total defeat of Baron EnoLas, who is blamed of course for baying lost the fight, by engaging, as all unfortunate Commanders are said to do, either too early or too late, or by some other species of es pest facto imprudence. On the side of Navarre, the General Toaauoa commands at Vittoria, with 7000 men, where there seems to be no enemy to combat, unless Baron d'AuTten.tur should descend from the Pyrennees, to try what he can make of those whom some of the Paris Journals, with equal taste and veracity, densieninate the .1 beaten" Spa niards. MITA is said to have entered ,Puycerda. 1 A letter frau Paris reports, though not from offi cial authority, yet, as we believe, from respectable quarters, that the Congress has actually closed its labours. The Sovereigns, as might have been fore seen, have not been unanimous in their resolutions. ( Each Power, it is stated, will make its own separate appal to Spain ill the forth of an oasis' not, CORFU, OCTOBER 24. The army of the Albanian league has been beaten. From Tricala they write, dated October 11 : Odysseus and Contoyanne have just destroyed 8000 more Turks in the defiles of Trachis, the advanced post of the Thermopylae. They were the last rein forcements which Chourschid Pacha had received from Romelia, and which he had immediately put in motion under the orders of Vragna Pacha. These j fatal gates of Thessaly and Locridi have become in 1822 the grave of more than 20,000 Turks. Odys seas has advanced to Democos, and is now on the way to Harmgros, to support the Greeks of Mount Pelion. Stouuaze occupies Aspropotaman, and Chasia Tassos holds Olympus, and has cut off the commu nications of Chourschid with Salonica. The latter only possesses the great plains of Larissa and Cour navos. Cassandra is again occupied by its inhabit ants, commanded by their intrepid Chief, Diamantes. The Turks have lost all their confidence in their superiority.

There was a slight rise on 'Change yesterday. The dustr7 of the people finding a saving market. reports of the almost total destruction of the Army of the Faith, and of letters from Verona, the contents of which were said to leave no doubt as to the pacific issue of the Congress, contributed to keep up the funds. The probabilities for or against peace form now the sole barometer of the money market.—CourierFraneois. The Echo du Midi gives a letter from Urgel, dated the 15th, which contains the following statements: 4 8 As I informed you in my last, the Trappist (Don Anton Maragnon) arrived here in time to discover a conspiracy which might have done us serious injury. The day after his arrival he visited the fort, wishing to exercise the artillery in firing. He found one bat tery in which the guns were chiefly loaded with sand, and others in which the balls had been put before the powder. Suspecting some treachery, he asked the Commandant of the fort and Commander of the ar tillery to come into the town and assist him in inves tigating this affair; but the Commandant, supposing that he might be compromised, returned into the fort. The Trappist presented himself there again, but ad mission was refused him. He succeeded, however, in getting in by a stratagem, and, assisted by the faithful Royalists, 'he arrested and imprisoned the traitors. After this transaction he left us, it is said, for Navarre." A private letter, dated Urgel, the 16th, adds what follows The Trappist, who arrived here an Tues day last, and who was supposed to be destined to command the place, set out to-day for France." Another letter, (4' the same date, says—" Romanillo is not the only traitor: it is believed there are a good many more among the Royalist Chiefs. There has even been a plot in the fort for giving it up to Mina's soldiers. Four pieces of cannon were found to be loaded with anything else than powder. There is no doubt that if Mina had continued his march on the 9th and 10th by Organga, that he would have taken this place without firing a shot." PUYCERDA, NOVEMBER 11. We have the Regency and Provincial Junta of Ca talonia here. About 60 cavalry of Romanillo's divi. sion have just entered this place, which is crowded with troops and strangers. I send you none of the news of the moment—l should perhaps be obliged to contradict them by the first courier. FOIX, NOVEMBER so. The famous Trappist has passed through this city, on his way from Puycerda to Toulouse. The arrival of this quondam General, in his cassock, was a sort of event for us. All the inhabitants, from different mo tives, wished to see the man who has been so preached up by his party. Some expected to see a giant, but they were grievously disappointed. He was in the Trappist habit, but he carried neither sword nor pis tols, as in the days of his glory. All our devout Ladies kissed hiltands, and wished him prosperity. The Trappist stopped only two hours, during which he visited the Prefect. This journey of the Trappist bas dismayed all his partizans. They can no longer doubt the defeat and complete destruction of the Army of the Faith in Catalonia. They still rested their hopes on Baron d'Eroles ; but in a few hours after, the arrival at the inn of his family and baggage, on their way to Tou louse, was announced. We are assured that the Regency, is completely dissolved, and that the army no longer exists. Monks and other personages are every moment arriving from Puycerda. Persons worthy of credit, who have just come from that town, state, that Mina has so well manoeuvred, that he has succeeded in cutting off all communication between Catalonia and Arragon, and that he was expected at Urgel on the 21st or 22d of this month.

Wntnsoa Carrt.s.—Considerable improvements are going on in the &ate apartments of the Castle, for the residence of the King. For many years it has been suffered to go into decay, ar,d, except those rooms occupied by Queen Charlotte and her tete, all the rest were uncomfortable, and many of them in a ruinous condition. Those apartments, especially the room which his late Majesty died, are to remain sacred and unli st Here is still the simple old bed on which the King breathed !;:s last—the large arm-chair in which he so often sat, and the sLat• tered harpsichord with which, during his illness, he so frequcn:li amused himself. This room Is to be kept locked, and the hag rooms, in which be occasionally took exercise, are like% to be locked up. The library,which before the King's last had in pall been removed, by Royal order, from Buckin;l3.. - . 1 House, has been re.conveyed thither, and the rooms will be con verted to his present Majesty's ore. The /tam which originally extended round the Castle, and had a most characteristic effect, will be restored; it was filled up by the late King many years ago.
