The brig was upset ins Kean on the 12th ; her masts were cat sway, when she righted, bat the hell remain ed water-logged. Capt. Doyle was washed overboard when she upset, sad drowsed; en the 23d, the mate rebind for want of food, and on the 26th, John Bads, a seaman, expired from the same caese--.-for, shocking to relate, these distressed men were without any food but a few grains of Indian corn, or fisids, that proceeded from their own bodies, for IS days! Three of the remaining crew were taken from the wreck and kindly treated by Capt. Bucking, and have arrived is good health in the brig. One poor fellow was left, (evidently in the pangs of death) on the wreck, too weak to be removed. The only foreign moil arrived to day, when our paper went to press, was one from Rio Janeiro. It is, however, only two days later than that which pre viously caw to hand• There are now dee, two mails *em 'rases, and two from Hamburg, besides those du fioin Iloteinbarg, 11"ilson, and due Leeward islands Letters received from Constantinople state, that in coasequenee of some British vessels having lately been detained by the Greeks, Captain Hamilton, of the Cambrian, had declared his intention of treating all Greek vet• els as pirates, if they continued such a prac tice. 'lbis determination had produced the desired tem, and British ships bad ever since been respected by the Greek cruisers. The capture of Lima. which, no doubt, will decide the fate of the whole of the Western coast of South Americo, is of the utmost importance to this etessery lea mercantile point of view, as it is expected that a market will be opened for the purchase of British ma asfeeteess to the amount of several millions sterling per annum,. Specie, it is supposed, will continue seassally abundant in a short spare of time, as it is known that the mines in that portion of South America have been completely emptied of the water with which they have been filled for years past, by He application of steam-engines, constructed purposely is this country, so that the silver may fur the future be extracted without further difficulty. Private letters from Lisbon communicate die recent soceediags of the Cortes. That legislative body has decreed, contrary to the unanimous opinion of the De pities from Pernambuco, that some-of the troops to be sent to Rio Janeiro, should be landed at the former town. The individuals who were arrested there in July and August, on suspicion of being concerned la the attempt upon the life of the Governor, have arrived at Lisbon, and applied to the Cortes to be set at liberty. Their tipplieatioe, aid all the papers relative to the eamplaints against the above-menthemed public func tionary, have been referred to Government, " in order that the matter may be duly iavethigated." By the debates le tit. Cortes. it appears that the audacity and numberof robbers is Lisbon are such, that they have lately assailed private houses in the principal streets, even at noon-day. Pursuant to a decree of dm Cortes, foreign brandies are henceforth to pay 8,000 teas per pipe, on their being imported into the Isle of Madeira as its dependencies, or the Mores ; and Portuguese brandies 7,600. This latter duty is also to be paid on ibt importation of brandies, from one of the. shove mentioned islands into another, with the exception of what may be-imported from that of Fayal into that of Tice, and 'kerma. The export duty on brandies ma nufeetunel in Portugal. or in the same islands, is re diced to 4,400 nag per pipe. This decree, dated on the 11th of October, aid inserted in the Government Diary of the nth. was to be acted upon, with regard to Gihralear and the ports of Spain. in a fortnight after its publication is the Chancery Court, and with respect to every other port, thirty days after the same. A Morniag paper of yesterday was incorrect in eta*. ing that Tweedie. the father of the late defaulter, shot himself, in consequence of not being able to make up his accounts. Tweedie, the eider, was connected with the late Lord Melville, during whose memorable trial he shot himself, as it is supposed, from the fear of his( compelled to give evidence against his friend end patron. He was the person who was entrusted by that Nobleman to convey the money to the celebrated sea enceatric Mark Sprut, the Stock-broker and agent of the Noble Earl ; by his death a chasm was made in the evidence which nothing could supply, for oa Sprot being examined, his memory would not serve him. THE sTLy.r • TO THE Entroa OF THE STATESMAN. Sla—As an old Coffee-house Keeper in the metro polis, I cannot refrain from expressing my indignation at one of the most contemptible impositions that per haps has ever been attempted upon any body of men. The deception you have already denounced ; and the pub lic and the army, or Royal Marines, must have learnt with surprise and disgust, that the man who had the chief concern in it was holding the very respectable rank of a Lieutenant -Colonel. Lieut.-Col. Torrens, with a view to reanimate' the languishing circulation of his news paper, has projected what he chooses to call " A Be nevolent Society. of Hotel, Tavern, Coffee-house and Inn-keepers." Taking in his paper consti•ures a Member of the Society. At the end of three years after the formation of the Society, certain advan tages are promised to the Members, viz.—the sub scribers to his paper during the whole of that period,— upon one clearly implied condition, viz.—that when the stated period arrives, the proprietor of the paper, the said gallant Lieutenant-Colonel, shall deem it his interest to fulfill such promites.—So far, all is well: is merely heads I win and tails you lose, a game which it requires only impudence to propose. and folly to embrace. If the scheme had presented no other lea tare, it would have been a subject merely for laughter it becomes much too serious for jest, however, as we examiae it further. Amongst the rules and orders of the Society, framed by nobody knows whom, except by the Lieutenant-Colonel, and a certain Mr. Gardner, also connected with the Colonel's paper, is the follow ing:— ART. 26. " That as the sum of 3000/. has been raised for the purpose of establishing in the metro polis a Day School, in which in example may be set of the application of the methods of Dr. Bell, Mr. Lsncaater, and others to the higher branches of edaca doe, and offered to the Society in aid of its school es tablishment, on condition that the Society contribute 10001. to complete the same.—lt has Gees agreed b That one moiety of the income of the Society shall be appropriated for the purpose." Ito. Now, mark, Sir, I boldly and without hesitation inert, that there is no such fund in existence, or that if there is, it cannot without fraud, appropriated in the manner here contem plated. Let the character of Colonel Toreros, as well as the merit of his scheme, be tried by this test. I deny that such a fund exists. Let him prove its existence, by procuring a public acknowledgment of the possession of the 'money or securities. from the trustees to whom it is said to have been confide:L— I challenge him to do this. Nothing short of this ran rescue him from the imputation of fratd. He bas publicly mentioned Mr, Place, of Charing-Cross, as hav ing something to do with this, I believe imaginary fund, and as being a party to this arrangement. Mr. Place is a well known, and a highly table cha racter and It is incumbent upon him r g e l;cly to con tradict the imputation. If there be such &fund, who can believe that the original subscribers to it ever con templated its application to the purpose of propping up a declining newspaper? It is perverted from its original design, even if a school should be founded _ _ _ for . classes of society, flue hp- co adds prioo— pabilc journal, and as the ptojeetot o. charity, Lieut. Colonel Torrent Is a public man. This fond of 30001. must not be slurred over, Does it ex -Ist or bas the Lieut. Colonel bees guilty of a fraudu lent misrepresentation ? Can it, if it exists, be honestly applied in the Milner intended, or bas the Lieut. Colonel become a party to a fraudulent misapplication of hods?

' Tan Waernen.--The variableness of the climate et Great Britain has sever b ees more remarkable than of late. On the 2d last. at six in the morning, Fah resbeit's Thermometer stood at 4014/gross, and at the same hour on the 4th of July last, it was only at 32 ; so that at one period in the middle et the present passer it was Si degrees colder than in the month of November.

On the Court being full, this defendant, who was one of Cartile's thopmen, appeared on the floor of the Court. Mr. SOLICITOR-GENERAL then moved the judgment of the Court on him for publishing a sedition , librl against the King, in a • number of The Republican, published last July. The defendant then put in four affidavits from Mary Ann Carlile, and three other persons, stating that the defendant was a young man of steady con duct, and had not any knowledge of the matter contained in the number of The Republican, ►vhich he published, also alleging, he acted under the controol of Carlile and his sister. Mr. Coorza then addressed the Court at great length, in mitigation of punishment, also Irvine, that the defendant, acting under the contronl of Isis employers, was not liable to the consequences of his offence, It being impossible that Ise could be legally in error. The SOLICITOR-GestERAL replied at considerable length. • Mr. Justice BAILEY delivered the jnagment, which was, that the prisoner be imprisoned in his Ma jesty's gaol at Winchester, for the term of six calendar months, and at the expiration of that period find sureties to keep the peace for seven years, himself in 5001. and two sureties in 501. each, and that he be imprisoned until the sureties be found.
