% ;3 4 1 9 P.II The fo',iowit•.g is an extract of a letter dated Ma drid, Nor. 20, recea•ed by way of Ba• onne:-- " Never hei the feria:min:thin in the people's minds been so extraordinary us for these few days past, aneespeciully on the night of the 19th. in tamscquenee of the uccouut ut the fulling of the toads at Paris and the reports of war that were cir culated. The agitation was so great, that several patriots went in a body to the office of the Minister. t.• know whether the Government bed received any despatches from abroad concerning the probability of trat• ; but it was soon learned that only a commer eiJ house iu this city had received an expresa, sapling the egitation on the Exchange at Paris on the 1::th. However, the enemies of the system , stain spread a report that the Holy Alliance had tie eided the armed interference in the afiltirs of Spain; and this news-assumed such a degree of credit, that it was the general subject of conversation in all pub lic places and private circles; and if the leaders of the Landaburian Club had been allowed to take their own way, the capital would have been filled with coesternation. In f.ct, on thc same evening several ecclesiastics anti others, whom opinion points not as adversaries to the tonstitution, were publicly insulted in the streets. The alarm continued the whole of the I tl.h, and in the ni,;itt the same house received au express, with the news Catt the funds at Paris had risen on the lath, and that the reports which had caused the fall were beginning to he dis pelled. Oa the other hand, Government received en the 19th, at 2 a.m., an express fium its Minister et Paris, with despatches very satisfactory in respect to the reports of war. On the 19th, in the morn ing, groups of people assembled in the l'uerta del Sol, anxious to know the contents of the despatches of the Duke de San Lorenzo, and they soon learned that be had written that Congress had decided nothing with regard to Spain : it is even alarmed that the Minister has said to his friends, that it' he had re ceived any unileasatit news, lie should have imme diately Fublislad it in the journals. Neveitheleas, people's fears are not wholly dispelled, and they stvait with impatience the result of the Congress.— The merchant's expresses which arrive are sur rounded by numbers of persons. It ma:. be said, that at the first news of a declaration of war, we should see the revolution make ravages at Madrid, and all the provincial' capitals. •' All the Journals make reflections on the incon veniences tend obstacles which stand in the way of a resolution of the Holy Alliance, to declare war aanuita Spain. " There is nothing interesting from Andalusia, except the dissolution of-the Municipality of Lucena, the arrest of its members, and of several other per sans, in cunst•tltence of the discovely of a plot formed by the Lomriittee of Gibraltar, tending to renew thu insurrection in honk;.:, Lucena, urd even Ceuta. " In the sittings of the Patriotic Society of Sc . - vile, on the I I th , tha arrest of forty servile; was dentatultd, so th.tt Gibraltar is filled with emigrants, who however ciubark successively fir other parts of the Continent." - Tin NATIO I .4AL . ItEGthl3ol, GERMAN PIPERS. TRIESTE, Nov. 14 —Letters worthy of credit, twin Corfu of the 25th October, and from Drago mestie of the end of the same month, give the fol lowing accounts:—" After the surrender of Suli, respecting which there are various opinions, it was resolved to send Captain Warnakiotes and Captain !skies to Mount Comboli, where Omer lirione was, is order to have a conference with him. This cir i:umstance gave rise to a report that Warnakiotes had a desire to submit to the Turks, but the latest atecounte explein the matter vety ditl'ereutly. War oakenes really went to Otner Ilrione under that pretext, and had a conference with him ; bet, in fact, he had a secret counnisson from the Chiefs to 'Amer% e the strength and eituat ion of the enemy, nod take notice of the language that Omer Llrione held. 'raving fulfilled the object of his mission, he re tteree,l to his brethren in amts. The strength of our corps in Acarnattia is 5,000 men, which, favoured by the.teatureof the ground, is sufficient to !limier the advanee of the enemy. Omer had indeed 12,000 taco sometime ago, but the disputes between the Albanians in Epirus have Induced many of them to leave the Paelet and return hcme. The cause of these disputes is, that some of the Albanians are disposed to recognise Omer as Pacha of Jounnina, while the others would prefer the son of the l'acha of Beret, Ibrahim. It' the dispute is not soon set tled, Many edventages may accrue from it to the Greeks. In the corps of Acarnenia are Mourocor dam, Marais, and General NW - In:lnn. The most lavir;rable news mill einitinue to be received front the eat of Greece, where oatuiive operations are carried on against the le fewittns in the neighbour hood of Zeitouni. Nal:oi and Corinth are still in ;Le hatius of the Turks, but clime pressed and in bad teanditioa. At Corinth there are 5,003 Turks, the • remains of 25,000 who entered the Peloponnestss. 1 he (;reek flag • ffies over the lower fort of Napoli, end in the upper thttress (Pa'smith), about 5,000 Turks of both sexes arc Aut. up, of whom only 1,500 bear arms. The last attempt of the Turkish Let, commanded by the new Capitan Paella, to re lieve the fortress, having fdled, it is hoped that want of provisions must soon force it - to surrender, espe• cially us the Greeks proved on that occasion, that with their slight merchant vessels they arc able, even in the open sea, to oppose a valiant and successful reaistance to the combined Turkish, Egyptian, and Mikan naval force. It is, however, with regret we learn, that nscrchantmen, hearing the flag of one of the first Continental Powers, have been freighted ut Smyrna by the Turks, and laden with provisions and ammunition, IQ be convoyed by ships of war of the same power into the harbour of Napoli; but this last circumstance cannot he positively affirmed. For some time it has been observed that the English Government has adopted a different system towards the Greeks, in some measure opposed to that they l'cfure followed, and it is even affirmed that the Greeks have received indirectly support from that quarter. The Sletubers of the Greek Senate intend to fix their residence fiit a time in Tripoliaa, where several of them have already arrived." AMERICAN PAPERS. • .0- NEW YORK, Nov. 213:—We learn by the brig Georgetown Packet, Captain Rathbone, from La Guayra, that the Royal General Morales had eva cuated 111arasavlao, and returned to his old quarters at Porto Cabello. It appears that General Montilla had concentrated his forces at Rio de la Hatche, and marched immediately against Morales, who must hare fallen an easy prey had he attempted to con test the point. The patriot forces entered Mara caybo on the 19th of September. President Bolivar and General Irlivereaux were daily expected from Quito, when it was expected that active and vi gorous measures would be concerted for a speedy reduction of Porto Cabello. No• 13.—A gentleman in Philadelphia has re ceived the following, under date of May 10 :- " The Emperor of China, having by some means diseovered the disgraceful conduct of the Mandarins, at and about Canton, has just issued an Imperial Deeree-(which like that of the ledeos and Persians, is irrevocable) to the high officers about the Court, to inquire into the conduct of these people, and to rqurt correctly the nature of the transaction with the English at Liutin, as well as our own attlir at Whamlust, end the meas!tres which have been pur sued with regard to the introduction of opium. Thirty Mandarins are already imprisoned, and how many more will be impossible to tbresee. '• This examination, it is expected by every one here, will produce important results, and finally place tote intercourse of foreigners upon a different footing► from herctcfore—perhaps their expulsion and interdiction. _ _ " It must be evident to the government of this country, that since the opening of their ports to strangers, luxury, vice, immorality, and in gene ral poverty, have lOllowtd in their tr..in. Tice most mi:taken idea in the world is generally entertained of commerce to this country, us greatly enriching this people, and impoverishing others. The balance of trade is but little in their taveur in amount, and the importation of manufactured goods, r:tw cotton, and opium, to the amount of twelve or fifteen mil lions annually, and daily increasiog, strikes a blow at the very essence of their government. This state of things is feared by the Mandarins, and what Inca. : sures they may adopt to avoid it, is yet in the womb of futurity: but 1 think this- r -I may venture to assure you, that our troubles in China have but commenced, and you may hear of important mut ters before lonx." Nonrota, Nov. 4.—There is some misrepresen tation in the accounts heretofore given, relative to the British schooner Speedwell, it Wing stated that she was found by the Peacock aground on a rock, and surrounded by the pirates, in which situation she would have been inevitably captured by them but for the coming up of the Peacock. It appears, however, that she, had joined company with the Peacock and Louisiana cutter, and that she was :,:anding in shore with the latter iu pursuit of the pirate when she grounded. BRAZIL.
