The son of the Governor badarrived on the 12th, express from Petenbargborith do official order, commanding that all things should )0 replaced en then , ' ancient footing, a determination which bad diffused unbounded satisfaction throughout 'sheeny. Anticipation of peace continued to be ester tamped, though the advantages lately gained by the Greeks is the Mores were not concealed. In one of the {guesses which they bad taken by capitulation. they were said to bate found 120 pieces of canton, 10,000 is ealrets, and a large quantity of ammunition, which Aoteld sot fail to prove highly serviceable to the canoe of independence and christianity. The advice' from fit. Petersburg are to the 29th ultimo. They announce what was expected, the departure of the Emperor Alexander for Witepsk. where he intended to review his guards. It was expected, however. that he would retire at the end of a fortnight to his capital. Mean while immense quantities of ammunition were sent into the Ukraine, which led to a supposition that the army es the Prath would be powerfully reinforced, and that war would ultimately break out. Paris papers to the 15th, which arrived yesterday, too late to be noticed in some part of our impression, tad bat briefly in any, contained some intelligence of more importance than usual. An article from Aug.- berg states, that Russia insists on occupying certain places in Turkey with a military force competent to ,ardotain the religions and political state of the Oceeks jetsielate, and to prevent a repetition of the barbarous ~nstrages which have lately disgraced that cos ntry As inch an occupation would leave the political ex istence of Turkey entirely at the mercy of Russia, and could therefore neither be agreed to by the Porte, nor permitted by other powers, and yet as it appears ne misery to the security and existence of the Greeks, it Inhere proposed to diminish,if not to remove altoge the r, de objections to the measure, by specifying and limit kg tie number of places, and having the garrisons coin pied of Russian, Anstri3n, and English soldiers.--.-The disturbance we noticed as having occurred at Lyons, arose out of the toasts that were given at a public dinner in that city. The Censors have taken care to render the account of the affair as obscure as possible, -bet enough appears to shew that the people there are still decidedly unfriendly to the reigning family. The dinner was given to M. Coreelles, on his return as .Deputy for that city. Toasts were given, it is said, "to Liberty, to the Constitution, and to what the Cen sors have been pleased to intimate only by 10 ° 16 ." The company are then stated to have adjourned, in a . body, to tie French hills, where there was a display of ire works, serenades, and other are.nsemedis, in honour of that Deputy ; but unfortunately the company did not confine themselves to cries of " Line Coreelles"— there were others intermixed, which cannot be re peated, and which stript the assembly of the cha racter of a festive meeting. To put an end to the con- Anion and tomultnonsprocetdings, two Proclamations, tie one by the Prefect of the town, and the other by 'the Mayor of the city, were hissed, and bad the de sired effect without the effusion of blood. The ac xwasts by the French journals, and by letters and •papers which have arrived direct from Spain, repre lest the state of Barcelona to be horrible beyond de scription. That ill-fated town is a prey to the most appalling scourges of contagion and famine. The 'children, *hose mothers lave fallen victims to the • .deadly contagion, are suckled by goats. It was con templated to evacuate the town. sad encamp in the vi '4oll; but this lad resource was found impracticable. ,Despair and stupefaction , increase the evil. The fever, Instead of decreasing. was extending its ravages to new places. Cordons had been formed round Tot ;lose and Mequinensa, -and other means adopted to ,prevent the further extension of the malady. The .Bishop of Tortoni has fallen a devoted victim to his -hamaalty. He inhaled the baleful pestilence, and died . on the third day after the symptoms of attack.—The .only political news from Spain, is a report that an en tireJegiment has conspired against the Constitution. -The Colonel; and several superior Officers of his regi lownt,have kin transferred from Madrid to Herensia, aid Afiere confined in dungeons.

EXTRACT OF A LZTTER FROM PRILADRLPRIA, SEPT. 16. We are informed from good authority that the Secre tary-of the Navy, on bearing of the late piratical out rages, and particulaily that committed on the Orleans, has with all prompitude, given directions to Lieut. Gregory, of the United States schooner, Grampus, hy ing at New York, to proceed immediately on a cruise, along the coast of Florida, and the Bahama islands, in such direction as may be most likely fis in tercept the Pirates. Similar orders have been given to the public armed vessels, on the southern east; and it is also understood, that the Navy Depart ment will order a convoy for the vessels, about sailing for Cuba and New Orleans. Among the many reports that spring up in the city, there is one that would, if correct, astonish all Europe, but none so much as those best acquainted with the parties from whom it is said to emanate. It is no less than that His Majesty's Ministers are about to re move the remains of Me late Emperor from St. Helena to England. for the purpose of erecting a splendid monument over them, as one of the trophies on the happy termination of the late just and necessary War. Miracles, it appears, have not ceased, or that attention to the dead would not take place, which has been so wantonly refused to the living. A Lisbon article in t he French papers asserts, that tbe Charge d'Affaires in Portugal (Mr. Ward) has left the country without his passports. He is represented to have taken umbrage at the avowed determination of the Cortes to reform the tariff of the Portuguese cue toms, in p trsuance of the 25th article of the treaty with England of 1810. It is mentioned in the Paris papers of Monday that the King of France is slightly indisposed ; the nature of his indisposition is not stated. It is said that the Emperor Alexander has promised to General Hulot, the brother of Marshal Moreau's widow, that the pension of 60,000 rubles, which she was to enjoy during her life, is to be continued to her daughter. A German paper says, that 90,000 Greeks perished at Constantinople during the late disturbances. it is morel than probable that this statement is highly exaggerateil l The heads lately exposed on the gates of the Serainki were those often Pacha, the son of AU of Janani, and of his son Mehemet Pacha. Their death has been pro voked by the intrigues of Ismael Pacha, and of Bekir Theiokador. They have insinuated to the Divan, that %refitted his son bad deposited a sum of 5,000,00 W. at Santa Maura, of which they declared the English Gene ral, Sir F. Adam, to be heir in cue of their death. A negotiation to remove the money had been entered into with the Turkish Chiefs whom we have named. They contended that a Pacha being a slave employed by his Highness the Sultan, was not likely to make a will, ex cept in favour of the mosques, and in consequence they demanded the deposit. The reply was, that Veli and others could not be divested of the property. A second demand was made, a reply was given, and the Divan, in order to cut the knot of the difficulty, ordered the beads of the two persons to be cut off who had been em ployed to refuse the treasure.—(Freaeh paper.) The Chevalier Masclet, who has filled the situation of French Consul at this port, several years, with great credit to himself and his country, has just been ap pointed to an important and confidential diplomatic mission to Bucharest, the capital of Wallachia. He is expected to depart as soon as his successor is ap pointed.—(Lercrpool Paper.) The Cardinal Perigord, Archbishop of Paris, is ac cording to the French papers in a state which excites the most alarming disquietude. Beaux, Oct.. 3.—lt is now decided that the King of England will make a visit to our Sovereign. Al ready preparations have re-commenced in the Palace. of Posbam, in which his Britannic Majesty will (it is est petted) reside six days. The apartments in the Royal Castle of William 1., in this capital, are also being fitted up for that Monirch's accommodation. The stone on which the King first placed his foot at Milford, and which was deposited in the Masonic lodge in that Town, has been claimed by the Lord of the' Manor, and reluctantly surrendered to him. Count Manle, the new Charge d'Affaires, appointed by the French Government to succeed Count Caramani is daily expected to arrive at the residence of the French Embassy, in Portland-place. Count and Countess Montbolon and family have left' their residence in Portman•street, for Paris. Tbe Cunt and Countess Bertrand and family also left town for Paris on Thursday morning. It has been stated by mistake, that Sir Robert Wil son is going to Paris; when he leaves town he goooto the North of England. Mr. Wm. Austin, her late Majesty's proteg e, is at present on a visit to Lord and Lady Hood, atWhittey Abbey, near Coventry. Mr. Hieronymus and Madle. Brunet are the only persons remaining of the late Queen's domestics ; they are at present in South Andlerstreet. William Henry dressed, Bsq. has been appointed., and on Saturday was sworn in, Deputy Recorder of Witterford, instead of Thomas Cooke, Esq. rostra Considerable curiosity has been excited•by the Vlce- C6ancellor's visit to Madrid, and every body to auWag what he I. goes for. It losow generally underenod that Ise studied Spanish before his departing: • Caw this beirith an intention of flingsbiag 1 new trawler dos of Don Quixote 2 ~.. , acebont is given of the King's pv9gres ITO .the. dominions of...the Prussian Monarchi, lieu& roads almost inip,Weithle, in a conditins so dsplewnble sit to exercise his Majesty's patience at every step. This, among an; hundred other things, will convince hits of the fully, as well as wickedness, of despotism. .1f the personage Who governs the Prussians by the sword and the bayonet, and spends theiriritasures in maintaining 150,00 idle soldiers, of no see to the State, yet draining it of , its wealth and wasting it i n the wantonness of idleness, were to form just notions of the advantage of good government, and the mischief of bad, be might be tempted to mend his ways, weevily, politically. and physically. The Prussians themselves deserve no compassion if they were obliged to travel from town to town through a slough, worse than . the Slough of Despond; if they were compelled to live is huts, worse than the wagwaws of savages; if they were plundered to the utmost extent, of the friths of their labours, to enrich the worthlesswretches eirbo support the despotism that devours their vitals, Obey richly deserve their fate. To yield obediebee to caprice, to be governed. by the will of one man, is so degrading to human nature, that those who submit to ascii misrule ought to be considered as beyond the lbeeods of pity, and lost to the feelings of man. Our giwg seems to have been received with apparent seal, as his journey, by the assembled crowds; but this, pimps may be justly attributed to his politeness and their civility. His Majesty's visit to Ireland may prove bent& eial, because be is convinced that the Irish are loyal, even to the heart's core; and, if he conclude that the rebellious insurrections and riots were the effects of the villainy of the petty tyrants who, in the name of the Constitution, have plundered the People, and under the mask of loyalty, have turned the arms of the Sovereign against his subjects, his travels will be productive of much good. Should his Majesty reason on the subject, it may induce him to crush the serpents which have poisoned the happiness of a na tion committed to his care; it may teach him to doubt the loyalty of the courtier, and the zeal of the bigot; and if this suspicion he generated, the jour ney has effected more towards the union of King and People, than all the Corporation of Dublin, and its ramifications, have done for a century to prevent this coasumulation so devoutly to be wished. This sojourn ing with his German subjects may produce a similar effect, if his Majesty compare Britons with Hano verian* s if he set the wrath, industry, independence, and dignity of freedom, in opposition to the poverty, sloth, and meanness, of men nut free, he may be im pelled to raise the latter from the kennel into which German notions and German oppression have plunged them, and place them in their rank in the scale of nature. Every human being, who is not free, ought to be des pised as inferior to the Ouran-Outang of the forest — as more degraded in his nature, and therefore beneath the uncivilised brute. Should his Majesty discover the feeling of hatred with which the political principles of his ministers are every where greeted, except by the minions bf power, it may teach Lim that the applause of the venal few is of much less importance than the esteem of nations. In his travels his Majesty may learn the I folly, as well as the wickedness, of those who, unfor iiseately'leteravekindi have governed the affairs of Europe for the last thirty years; be may read a lesson which may incline him to disregard the false notions and hideous principles of Tories and Ultra-Royalists, who have sacrificed the wealth and the happiness of empires, covered their fields with human blood, deso lated their cities, and employed myriads of mortals in the pleasing occupation of destruction, to revive and give vigour to unjust pretensions, at war with justice and the welfare of society. If his Majesty return thus instructed, and his actions run in unison with his opi nions, he will not be rewarded by the love and esteem of the passing day alone, but posterity will embalm his memory as a benefactor of the human race. Such con siderations may reconcile the most scrupulous to the advantage of such Royal excursions; but if our King shonld draw conclusions from the notions of the base and slavish inmates of foreign courts, his travels will be in effect disastrous, and his labour spent in vain. DRE-4DF (IL ACIDENr. arrnAcT OP • LETTER, DATED MARKET-HILL, ARMAOII,) OCT. 10. On Monday last, one of the Orange Lodes of this district, assembled at the Verner Arms, in this town, to celebrate the anniversary of the birth of James Verner, llsq., and to admit some new members. About 5 o'cloCk. thirty-five persons sat down to dinner, and in about tire minutes after, a most dreadful crush was heard in the lower pert of the house to proceed from the upper rooms. The landlord ran up stairs, but his progress was im peded by an immense quantity of rubbish, dust, slates, and laths rushing down. Assistance was immediately procured, when it was discovered that the root of the house had fallen in, and came with sick irresistible force on the floor over the dining room, that the ceil 4ciof the latter gave way, and overwhelmed the unfor. innate people at dinner with its ruins. Eight people Aare been taken out dead ; sixteen have been dreadfully .mutilated; several of them have their limbs broken, and only few of them areexpected to recover. The remainder be.* been all money less bruised and cut. The following disgraceful fact occurred a few nights again the county of Kildare :—A tenant of Col.

AND CuF sTea.--The amazing increase of the commerce and population of Liverpool is the subject of general astonislanent ; and the mom espe cially, when we contrast the present prosperity of that port, with its former poverty. In illustration .of this tt e give give the following historical fact:—ln 1648. the Mayor of Chester was required by the Privy Coun cil to furnish an account of all ships, barges, Ste., be longing to the port of Chester, in the dependencies on which Liverpool was inclpded. The return made was:— No of vessels. Ton- Men nape. employed. 353 . 63 Chester and its creeks . . 15 Dependent Ports : Liverpool and its creeks . 24 . 462 . Reaumaris and its creeks . 3 . 34 . 9 Carnarvon and its creeks . 2 . 26 .. •• 6 It will appear from this, that the vessels of -Chester were of greater harden than those of Liverpool, the former averaging 25 tons, the latter only 20. In the first instance, the Mayor of Liverpool refused to sanc tion the dependency of that port on Chester, bt was eventually compelled to submit. Look at the difference now !--(Lieerpool Advertiser.) There belong to the port of Alloa, at present, 143 vessels, 14,1b1 register tons, which employ about 1:100 men. At Falkirk Tryst on Tuesday se'neight, the show of cattle was unusually great ; the sales were brisk at rather advanced prices. A fruiterer of Edinburgh, has at this molest.
