p.-.- -4 MI gai .. No. 1,344.—V0L. XIV.] AMERICA N PAPERS. NEW YORK, Nov. I.—The ship Sel Fox, Capt. \'ye;, sailed from Sandy I kok, on Saturday morn ing last, bound to Port-au-Prince, with a fine wind, and nothing material occurred until eleven o'clock, when she was struck by a squall and capsized. Mr Dawson, one of the passengers, states, that the dead lights not being in, the water pushed with great violence into the cabin windows, which filled it instantly ; he immediately seized his sister, Miss Matilda Dawson, with whom he attempted to get on deck ; the water through the cabin window forced them out of the companion way ; the strug gle was so great. and the companions so very small. that his rister fainted, anti could not get up. Capt. Wyer, who was still in the cabin at the time she capsized, reached the deck, but was instantly swept overboard, and remained in the water near half an hour, when he providentially reached the ship aeuiu. [he lidlowing are the names of the passer). gers who were drowned in the cabin :—Lieutenant E.:stersbrook, wife and two children; Mr. C. F. Spevers, of New York ; Mr. J. 0. Walker, of Port au-Prince ; Nliss Matilda Dawson and servant, of New York; and the cook and seven seamen were w:whed front the deck. The following were saved: ('apt. Wyo., Lewis and George Dawson, W. Rees, a ccloured mm, and lout of the crew. In a Paper of the 27th October, there is a Pro clrmation from General Jackson, in Pensacola, dated the 29th Seivember : (AasTnAct.)—lt makes known to the Spanish officers to withdraw themselves, as they ought here totbre to have done, from the Florida', agreeably to article 7, on or betbre the Sd of October next ; after which day, if they or any of them shall be found within the Fioridus, all ufficers, civil and military, are 'required to arrest and secure them, so that they may be brought betbre him, and be to dealt with according to law.

FROM PERNAMBUtO.—Wehave seen a letter from Pernambuco of the tt 3d ult. in which it is stated that the Revolutionists were at one Lim: within three wiles of the town, which they then might easily have taken, as their approach caused great consternation, and a large nutnher of inhabitants deserted the place. Their indiscretion saved the town, 'of which the Governor took advantige, and fiirtifie , l the parts as sailable, as it is supposed the contest is now doubt ful. Business was dull. The brig Sysaidi sailed from Pernambuco on Sunday, Sept. 23, at three p. m. at which time the utmost consternation prevailed, and several families, particularly the female part, of the first distinction, sought retuge on board the shipping. The major part of the Portuguese vessels were getting ready tor sea, and several in the outer roads, ready for a start, watered and provisioned amply. Au attack had • been made upon the advanced posts of the Royalists, near Olinda, The piequets had been driven in, and some skirtnisking had taken place, and some Patriot prisoners brought into Pernambuco, v. ho were treated rather roughly, their hands being pinioned behind and brougut in like hounds, two or three tied toge ther; thia occurred on the 2lst September. the tiring could be distinctly heard, and the smoke seen, from the bridge of Recife. At the same time the royal piquet at Alfrogmlos, a village in an opposite direction, about three miles from Pernambuco, was fired upon out of the houses, and they state that the women hove slack lime out of the Veindowei in order to blind the royal troops. But let the provocation be what it may, three field pieces were ordered down, and a murderous cannumling was kept up all the afternoon upon the houses. It was stated that neither man, woman, or child, woe spared, and iu one instance a pooruld man was bayonetted upon sick bed. This business was distinctly heard like wise in town. The number of the uumrtiniate innocent victims that perished in this sanguinary massacre was stated at between three and finar bun. dred ; some people doubt any cause but a fracas between sumo of the native Afuericans and port or the piquet, composed of European troops, railed Algurves. This insurrection, or rebellion, or what you may term it, commenced at Guii'ni, at town about 20 leagues to the north of Pernambuco.

MONDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1821. has been in prison since that period in St. Salvador ; he is the military leader, and the political leader is a Priest named Franscisco Paula Simon da Silva, who accompanied this division, composed of 3,000 troops well equipped. particularly the cavalry, but rather deficient in field artillery : but the tierces ex pected to join them from other quarters will how 1.11 aggregate of ten thousand men at least, asp revolt had taken place to the southward near Cape St. Augustin, and likewise to the westward, authentic information of which was received. The ostensible cause is, they accuse the present Governor of -arbitrary and despotic acts—they want him deposed, and want the Colonel of the Algarves to resign the command of that regiment ; but peo ple seem to think that nothing short of the expulsion of all Europeans from power will satisfy them, as they imagine they can manage their own affairs. However, they march with a trill-length likeness of the king and Prince Regent in front, and the word " Constitution" on their banners. This revolution has been in embryo for some time, and it is thought the expectation of troops from Lis bon shortly occasioned its breaking out sooner ; how ever, the first blood has been drawn, and where or when it. will terminate time will develope only.— The loss in that at - L.6r at the advanced posts at Olin da was variously stated. The Royalists lost fifteen killed and wounded. The Patriots, as they are called, lost :?(-) killed and wounded and 25 prisoners Paws 9;d• the greater part of the Ottoman fleets left the gulfs of Lepanto and Patras, and sailed for the south, as sonic say, to attack the Greek navy at Hydras and Spezia, or according to another statement, to con voy the troops which are to be embarked on the coast of Asia tiir the Moreal Nov . 1 6.—Several thousand Greeks have already left the islands in the Archipelago and the Mediterranean, where the Turks are masters, to take refuge in Egypt. The Paella, who has given ample proof that he hated every species of fanaticism, has remonstrated strongly with the Turkish com mandant in Cyprus, who had inflicted dreadful cruelties on the Greek; although he could not help executing the repeated order to place at she disposal of the Porte a squadron with 1,500 troops on board. yet he would not allow his son Ibrahim to depart, who had been appointed Pacha and Commander in Chief in Macedonia ; he even prohibited him from going to Constantinople. By leaving such a hostage in the hands of the Porte he had rendered himself entirely dependant ; but by a political marneuvre, whilst a part of his forces is joined with the Turkish fleet; he isssupply ing die Greeks with warlike stores, and has made very advantageous proposals to the insurgents in Candia, to persuade them to put the island under his protection. Some idea may be formed of the extent of .liaffic in the City of London, from the tbllowing account of what passed over London-bridge in one day— namely, on the 16th of October, 1810; since which, . it is presumed there has been an increase rather than a diminution :—Foot passengers, 56,180 ; coaches, 871; gigs and taxed carts, 520 ; waggons, 587 ; carts and drays, 2,576 ; and horses, 472. Friday sennight Sir Robert Wilson made his appearance on horseback, in Pilgrim-street, Newcas tle, when a number of persons assembled to have a sight of the gallant General, who addressed them in a short speech. He observed, that he had been selected byMinisters as a fit object of vengeance from the conscientious opposition he had displayed to their proceedings. He felt proud that his fellow-coun. trymen so warmly approved of his conduct. He had ever regulated that conduct through life by the strictest principles of honour and independence.— The people he had the pleasure of addressing could better judge of the propriety of his behaviour, when it came, as it very shortly would, before the consideration of the House of Commons. From the documents that would be laid before Parliantent, they would be enabled to judge how far his abrupt dismissal from the army was justifiable—they could then decide how far he had merited their good opi. nion. The feeling which had been [expressed so generally throughout the country in his favour, had made such an indeliable impression on his mind as no time would erase, and could only cease with his existence. His gratitude should be expres:.d, not in words only, but, he assured teem. that when their liberties were at stake, he should ever be found at his post, the firm and fintliful advocate of the People's Rights. DoVER, Noir. 28.—1 t has blown very hard all day from the south-west, and indeed this °ltem on it turned to a complete hurricane of wind end rain. The cruising luggci belonging to the Badger revenue cutter, in making for the harbour this morning, was by a sudden squall and the swell of the sea, driven against the North Pier Head, when she fiats!, anti almost instantly went to pieces. The crew, by the promptitude and bravery of our boatmen, were say, el. The wreck was strewed to a considerable &statue along the shore.

Nov. 26.—Letters from Berlin state, that the rumours of peace, at least during the present season are every day acquiring greater credit, but that in the event of a war between Russia and the Porte, the Court of 11,:rlin has engaged to furnish an aux iliary corps of 30,000 men, or an equivalent in money. The account of the defeat of the Turkish fleet on the 12th of October is confirmed. It lost thirteen Vessels, and had several others much damaged. The trial of Muzian before the Court of Peers has concluded. He was found guilty of being an abetter of, and accomplice in, a plot against the saiCty of the State. The President pronounced his 1 • sentence of imprisonment for five years. Letters from NureMberg of the 17th instant state, on the authority of accounts fruiu Hanover, that the Ministry offered to the King before his de parture • present of 10,000 gold Georges new struck. Lord Sidmouth having refused to pay the All LA CIIAPZLIA, Nov. 18.—A rumour is ge neral in Berliu r that in consequence of a negotiation entered into at Constantinople, the commercial re lations between the Russian ports in the Black Sea and those of the Ottoman Empire would be re stored on the same footing as at the - departure of Baron Strognoff from Constantinople. If this im portant intelligence is confirmed, there is reason to believe that peace will be maintained between ihe two powers. However, letters from the frontiers of Turkey hold a language altogether adverse to the result of the negociutions which at present engage the attention of the ministers of the great powers in the capital of Turkey. ODEakii., Oct. 23.—The reports circulated in fo reign countries, with respect to the possibility of a rupture with the Porte, arc us not yet confirmed : and although the intelligence is often placed under the head of Odessa, it is nevertheless certain we know nothing of the statements which, it is pre terit:ea, have been received from here. We have no certain intelligence of the advance of our army. Prince Suzzu is residing in our city ; but the for mer Hispudar has been conducted lam the interior of the country.
