Ipo6t&crt4t• LONDON, MONDAY, NOV. 5. Three o'clock, pais. The accounts from Spain, in the Spanish Papers, continue still most afflicting. The pestilence has nearly swept away the whole of the population of Barcelona and Barrelonetta, with the exception of such of the inhabitants as fled to the woods, where many of them have perished. Several of those whom despair had driven to break through the sana tory cordon, fell victims to their temerity, but others who escaped, it was feared, would carry the conta g ott to other districts. At Tortosa the fury rages, and also in Murcia. The unburied bodies form masses of putrefaction, which corrupt the whole atmosphere, and it was the intention to bombard those places where the body lay, to bury them in the reins. Great danger was apprehended from the cupidity of the smugglers in the neighbourhood of Madrid, as it was feared they would introduce the contagion in those places which they visit and carry on their contraband commerce. In those districts which have escaped the dreadful scourge the people are chiefly occupied with the elections. At Pampe- Jena there have been some disturbances in conse quence of the soldiers wishing to take part in the erections; but, by the exertions of the Captain- General, tranquillity has been restored. Letters from Zunte, of the Ist of October, announce, that that the Greek fleet, after having taken in, in the isles of the Archipelago, a new supply of ammunition and provisions, has appeared before the ports of Patras and Coron, where they found the united maritime force of Turkey and Egypt. It is said that the Greek fleet consists of 200 sail, and that it is attended by fire ships, which are to be employed against the fleet of the Turks. The contents of the Paris Journals are specific, and it is confidently as serted, on authority of dispatches received from St. Petersburglt, that an Ambassador has been appointed to Constantinople. as successor to Baron Strogonoff. This is most important intelligence, as on this point depended the only doubt that remained of the perfect reconciliation of Russia and the Porte ; and the Lit pledge, therefore, may be understood to be given•—that the tranquillitiy of Europe will be maintained. A very severe gale was experienced at the Havan nah on the 14th of September, in which, among other damage, a French ship, with a valuable cargo, and 80,000 dollars in gold was lost. The Earl of 13ridgewater has ken pleased to inti mate his intention of employing all the poor on and about his estates in Shropshire, during the approach ing winter, and has offered to the public as much land and pecuniary advance as would be deemed ne cessary for improving the turnpike and other roads in the same district. A tract of Lund, of about 20 acres, is about to be purchased near Cheltenham, for the employment of the distressed part of the community, upon which every person who is able, applying for parochial re lief, is to be employed. A detachment of the Royal Artillery, among which Major Munro's company is named, is under orders to embark fur the Mauritius. • The situation of resident naval commissioner at the Cape of Good Hope is to be abolished, and, in consequence, Sir J. Brenton, who held that appoint ment, is ordered home. Further reductions in all the dock-yards arc, it is said, to take place immediately, to the number of 200 men from each place. On Monday last twelve labourers, in the employ of the Ordnance Department at Woolwich, arrived in town with their foreman, Mr. M'llonahl, and, according to orders, proceeded to remove the large cannon culled the ftegent's Bomb from opposite the Horse Guards to the spot which was occupied by a Waterloo carriage at the back of the Home Offi c e.
