CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 12.—The following is a copy of the note presented by Lord Strungford to the Sublime Porte on the 27th of August:— " The Ambassador has the honour to call the attention of the Sublime Porte to an object which is of gm highest importance to tlor interests of the British enembants. " On different occgaions the undersigned has already ad dressed to the BeissF,tfeudi, representations on the subject of the debts which Euglioli subjects have to recover from the pro perty of Greeks who fled at the eoueniencemeat of the rebel • lion. " The department of the Defteirdariat, to whiell this affair was referred, has constantly replidd that the question could only be decided according to the Alussulman la's's, and that those laws, always wider and just, did not periui. the Sublime Porte to dispose of the property of its Gel/ subjects, sinless the proprietors were present, or duly represented by their at tonnes. " It is, however, matter of public notoriety that most of th• Greeks ill question have only bee, induced to expatriate theta selves by the tear and alarm which the public ein.rveseence hid generally diffused on the first moments ut . the 'wlt, when the distinction between the ianoesat mid the guilt, was but well established, and when all Cheeks, without exception, rip [scored Ofiltlillfti in the eyes of an exasperstA populace. 0 It is also notorious that these -Greeks, whose only Crime is timidity (and whom the Alabasaitsluedoes out °outward with the traitors who have fled to aroigo a well-merited punishment) bairn fur the most part takes lop/Vin foreign countries, that they sosious/y long for the inunwert when they may retort' to their homes, and that nothing but fear and uwaertaiu.y as to the reception they might experhioetil, stilt induces them to re main nailer the dominion of another Power. " To dissipates thus& approlianaions—to tor-onto their native land these unfortunate victims of a very natural alarm—in tine, to enable British subjects to mover what is due to thou by personally suing their duties before the comprtr at oilman's. requires only a word from the Sublime Porte. Let, then, that word be spoken! The unfortunate aloe whom the force of oir ourustanoes have alone driveu to a temporary removal from their country, will then return. The Ouvernineut will resume its rights over a oolisideraLle part of-its own subjects, and those of the King of Great Britain wilt not base to experience the fatal riled.% which the prolonged absence of their debtors must produoe tin their Lamest*. " The total of the dementia ;amounts to so large a sum, and the necessity of payment has become to urgent, that the Am bassador would be wanting in his duty if he did not request the Sublime Porte to adopt the only mesas which in the actual state of things can obtain fur Engliah creditors that jostles which they have long and vainly onlicitod—namely, by making publicly kuowu what are the Wend's'', of the Guserunieut with respect to the debtors, and by giving a formal assurance that they nay without risk to their persons, return home and appear before tho competent tribunals, th order that justice may be dole to their creditors. " The ambassador in recommending this Important proposi tion to the acknowledged wisdom and equity of the Sublime Porte, anises this OCO3iIOII to have the honour, bcc• ita.

Eigbty.seven vessels entered the port of Haven nah during the month of August, viz.-34 Ame ricans, 83 Spanish, 15 English, one French, one • Hamburgh, one Dutch, one Sicilian, and one Por tuguese ; besides I I vessla of war, five of which were strangers, and six Spaniards. (Peon the Notional latelligencer of Sept. 20.) Lieutenant Weaver, of the navy, arrived in this city on Friday last, from the Pacific, though not immediately from our squadron in that sea. He left Lima about the 25th of June, shortly before which u battle took place between the royalists and a division el San Martin's army, in which the latter were decisively beaten, and nearly destroyed. No other event of importance bad recently occurred.— Lieutenant ‘Veaver came overlord from the Pacific to the Atlantic, across the Isthmusof Panama. A new Orleans paper of the 15th August, states that General A. Jackson will receive all the votes of Louisiana, for President of the United States, in addition to those of Tenessee. It is likewise stated that he will be supported by South Carolina, his native State, Georgia, Mississippi, and Als bane. If Kentucky and Ohiho should be thrown into the scale, he certainly will become a very kir. mitlable candidate. By the sloop Sal/ . 7, Captain Williams, arrived at this port in nineteen days from Maracaibo, via Cu racoa, we learn that every thing remained tranquil, not apprehending an attack front the enemy. • So licitous for the safety of the coast to windward, nearly all the troops had been withdrawn for the protection of Luguira, Curaccas, and Valencia.— Captain Williams arrival at Curacoa, August 23. On the 2litit, tour Spanish transports appeared off ' the harbour, and took pilots tin. the Gulf' of Vene. aucla. They were said to be part of a squadron or eighteen sail, intended I,r a descent on Maracaibo, with 1,400 troops, under Morales. There re mained no doubt at Curacoa, of the amouat of troops, or the object of the movements. Front the situation in which Captain %Vetiver left Maracaibo, he is of opiuion, that if an iintnediate and resolute attack was made, that important post must tall to the Spaniards. In that event, all neutral property would be converted to their use without ceremony, under the authority,of a pa per blockade, for no other has existed, as Captain Weaver has entered that port tour times during the last seven mouths, without having seen a single Spanish cruiser. The amount of American property at Maracaibo would not probably exceed 12,000 dollars; and that of British belonging principally to merchants of Li verpoJl, 100,0001.; and also a cunsideruble alumna of Dutch property. Although it was rumoured ut Curacoa that, in consequence of the many civilities, Sir. (It:fiend Morales had received from the Mita. bitants, Duteli property would be. respected. Capt. Weaver is, however, of opinion, that the respet shown by Morales to Dutch property will be of that kiwi shown by ai hungry 111411 to a EtVOUrite dish, placed within his reach. SEPT.3o.—(Extract of a private letter.) —We have had ter some days frequent arrivals of vessels from Constantinople, and they all bring us news which is favounible to the cause of the Greeks in the Peloponnesus and the Mores. The captains of these vessels, to whatever ration they may belivig, are all agreed that at present there prevails a general h u miliation and discounigcment at Constantinople. The exlutusted state of the treasury—the avidity of the Government, which covets all the precious me tals yet in the possession of individuals, and the bad news which bus arrived from Greece, and from Asia, where the Persians have gained great advantages, have all conspired to produce, discontent and con sternation in the inhabitants of the capital. At the departure of the last of these vessels, the news of a great naval victory obtained by the Greeks in the vicinity of the Straits of Negropont was also in cir culation. It is generally agreed that the lielleniatie have fought valiantly in the, Morea at the last inva siOn, that the Lieutenant of Chourschid has been bhatnefuliy driven out of it, and that there remain very few of all the warriors who accompanied him,. except a few fugitives who have found refuge for a short time in the walla of Corinth. We confess that the Greeks have signelised themselves by their acne vity and their courage—that they have done much, more even than could he expected from a people so long et.ervated by the most cruel eluvery. But we do not the less look thrward to the future without inquietude. The last victories which the Greeks have gained mey,llllrhaps, not be succosaaS, and may induce a ime of the Christian l'on'ers to declare in favour of the Turks. According to the principles proclaimed in some European Cabinets, one is almost tempted to believe, that they are disposed to make common cause with the Divan. It is, beside., no longer a mystery, abet a Power which always pre tends to the direction of European uilliirs, WisleS it to be formally declared at the approaching Cougress, uud adopted as q. principle, that the Sublime Porte turrns an integral part of the European system, and which signifies, in other words, that the Grand Sig nior is a member of the Holy Alliance, though lie has not yet been required to sign that soltann treaty. But his Highness will always reap from it the great est advantages, liar this treaty insures him against every body a guarantee ler his provinces, and the integrity of the Ottoman empire. BIICUAREST, SEPT. 26—The new Hospodar, Ghika, has made his entry into this city, surrounded by his Counts, and by 2,700 Turks, who served him as an escort. The former Turkish garrison, pretty well enriched during its stay here, has given way to these new corners. We hope, however, that no more than 700 men will remain in Bucharest, and that the rest will Le cuntoned in the neighbouring villages. FitONTattil or Moat:mem —What has passed in the two principalities slime two years, and is now passing, exceeds all belief. Posterity will not credit our recitals, and yet they are perfectly correct. The Turks, a appears, have the privilege of bringing the plague into Europe, and they do not neglect to make use of it. The two Christian provinces of Wallachia and Moldavia are now transfunned into two Turkish Pachalics. A Divan-Effendi, under the name of a Christian Prince, decides on the lite er death of the unhappy Wallachians and Male viatis. The evacuation, of which so tinic:, bus twee said, was wily a ridiculous piece of fraud and decep tion, fur us Janissaries, gorged with blood and pil lage, departed on one side, there entered on the enter the Bulgarian militia, equally desirous of plunder. Misfortunes succeed uninterruptedly, and no end to them is foreseen, for the audacity and i ,- silence of the Turk: constantly increase. The Iles podar, Gliika, has arrived with a corps of fresh troops, and of hungry courtiers, at Bucharest, after • tne troops had lett. This is the promised evacua tion ! Tatrsre, OCT. B.—We have received important news trout the 141orea—the wiw bud taken refuge in Corinth, made a sully on Sept. 16, which had a fatal termination for them.
