The Etnile gives a further renfirmation of the Greek naval victory over the Turks •arol Egyptians. The Carrrtl.l PACII A is said to have roiled his disasters by dying of grief, and IBRAHIM PAC!! A ac on his return to Egypt, where he will doubtless consider IVmself fortunate to arrive safely. On a smaller scale, the destruction of this expedition reminds us of the defeat of the invincible Spanish Armada in the days of our Elizabeth. 'Elie Paris Papers contain nothing else of the slightest in 'west. The royalist journals are filled with the details of Ee anniversary ceremony of the death of the unfortunate Pol AR :F. ANTOLNETEE. The Constitutionnet, in its private correspondence from Perpignan, gives another proelama fon from the Spanish police, quite equal in atrocity to that of Cox Za trz, which we published a few days ago. This is from MANUEL therm, the Intendant of Police in Ca talonia. It breathes destruction against the Constitu tionalists. It terminates in these words—" Let the perfi dious enemies of legitimacy tremble, and give positive proofs of their repentance, if they would not be annihi lated !"

A 11.1,10, which has arrived from Rhodes in nine days, declares that the Egyptian fleet was blockaded at ISodrouni, and that of the Caere AN PAcsa at Cos; that discord reigns bet ween the Son Of MeIIEMET Al.h and the CAPITAX l'Arll.ll, the former being enwilling to obey the orders of the Turkish Admiral. Conster nation and a fatal epidemic were raging in both annia, anti men and limes died in great nunthas. The European transports were particularly alarmed. The news from Napoli gives the official news of a fresh at. tazk of the Greeks on the Turkish fleet, in which they succeeded ir burning two frigates, two corvettes, and two brigs, and captor i•ig fcur ships of war, besides a number of transports. This news Win proclaimed at Napoli on the 10th a( September. Ge-eral Sir Faximatcx ADAM, anxious to expiain the mis take relative to the measures which he had taken against the Greek Navy, in ordering reprisals to be made in cor.sequenee of some cr aves issued by the Greek Government, is about to reysir in person to Napoli. Ile is well disposed to respect the noble character of the liellenista ; ant we are confident that he will meet with an tonourable reception.

We are not able this morning to lay before our readers more than the substance of these despatchts. We understand that the Greek fleet fell in with the Maboinetan armament near liodrouni, and that a desperate engagement ensued, which terminated in the de struction of so vessels, and 7 large ships of war, belonging to the combined fleet, and in the capture of upwards of 30 more. Thelatter were mostly neutrals, and we arc told, that after the Turkish stores, contraband of war, had been taken out of them, the vessels were allowed to depart freely. IVe are also much gratified to learn, that the misunder standing between the Anglo-lonian Government and the Greeks has been removed. Sir FREDERICK ADAM, it was said, had proceeded to Messoloitglii in person, and had there obtained a satisfactory explanation of the intentions of the Creek Goverinnent, from whom an immediate revo cation of the offensive proclamation was expected. We cannot well express how much satisfaction we feel at this happy arrangement, which, by the way, is a complete answer to all the scandalous imputations cast upon the KING'S Ministers, with reference to the just and sa lutary promptitude of the retaliatory measure. We have seen letters from Trieste, dated the 20th of September, which agree with these accounts in every particular. We congratulate every friend to the struggling Greeks on the whole of this intelligence, which is as favourable as their warmest wishes could desire. From an article copied in another column from the Allgemeine Zeihing, it appears that the insincerity of the Viceroy of Fever bad roused the indignation of the Pour s, who, it was expected, would denounce him as an enemy. There wants but this pre tence to induce Mt:HEMET Au to follow the example of the Greeks, and declare himself independent. We may look forward to every arrival from the Levant for this final aggravation of the SULTAN'S difficulties. The revolt of Egypt would be the signal for the defection of almost every Paeha far enough removed from Constantinople to give him a reasonable chance) of success in his rebellion. Greek l'apers to the 16th of August have been received. They do not contain much news of importance. iVe take the following abstract of them from an Evening Paper:— It appears that after the victory obtained by SNALTIA near Sa lons. several other actions took p late between the Greek and Tutkish threes in that quarter , in all of which the former have been successful. It does not appear that the Albanese Pachas of Janina and icudra (Omen VRIONES and AIOCSTAI DACHA) have yet made any movement against the Greeks ; at least, up to a late period, the Paella of Sconaa was entirely inactive, and Ossea TACNA was lying near Arta, with only 1,000 soldiers, very tempi- cioas of tae intentions of the SC LT•N towards him. In Arta itself the plague prevailed. In addition to the list of vessels under the neutral flag in the err vice of the Puha of EGYPT, the Friend ofthe Low of the 4th Mich of August), says, that there are seventeen Spanish, four Russian, one Tuscan, and one American, roads, of which the names are nut loosen, at lilra. The Friend Mr Lase of the Ist (13th) of August, contains an address front the President of the Provisional Government, CONIN;ItIOTTIS, to all the Greeks. After stating the force of the Egyptian fleet, and the IVlCUsuref taken by the Government to meet them at sea, the President proceeds, on account of the un certainty of the issue of the naval combats, to give directions as to the measures to be taken if the enemy should effect a landing. After a general exhortation to vigilance, he directs all the inhabit ants of the coasts to remove their families and provisions into the fortresses and the interior, and to lay waste the country wherever the enemy sacald appear. lie then calls upon all the inhabitants of every degree to arm themselves. lle states that the present attempt is formidable, because the Turks In despair had collected the whole of their disposable three. The Egyptian expedition he reckons at 20.010 men, fifty-six vessels of war, and one hundred transports. lie concludes by exhorting his cvuutrynien to prefer glorious death to shameful servitude. Last night we received New York and other American papers to the 18th ult., brought by the Baltic, which has arrived at Liverpool from New York, which place she left on the Roth. These journals contain no intelligence of in terest. General LA I'AYLTTk continued to be an object of enthusiastic attention with the American people. One paper, speaking of the arrival of a quantity of tine peaches at New York, says, "they will make a dish to set before a king ;'—nay, more, before LA FAYETTE." I Front the PhiludelphiJ Rorisler of Sept. 16.1 The eh.d.,hus alercury announcoi the arrival there of the brig in 1:2 days from Carthagena. A Spanish brig from this port Gtr tiavana, with . a carg o of flour, powder, &c. arrived two days previous to the Ismeltitt sailing, prise to the private armed schooner %aline, captain Lamini. Tete British frigate Isis. captain Forrest, was taking in specie for Jamaica, to sail in two days. The rap dition for Peru via Chagres and Panama, was to sail from l'artltawma in three days. [From the Nes Turk Stutermon of Sept. 17.1 The latest accounts train Alatanzas state that the most active pursuit was continued after Rodriguez, who had issued there tot in siirreetionary proclamation, and had but tin followers in his flight thence. The United States schooner Wild Cat was cruising on the thl inst. between Havana and Matanzas. The Savanualt papers of the 7th speak of the continued good health of that city. The Natchez lliesissipion of the dlat ult. mentions that Natchez was then "free from every appearance of malignant disease," and that there were " no local causes to engen der it." A Carraccas paper of the 25th ult. which we received by the Velocipede, contains no news. The post due on the llith hail not arrived from Bogota. Heavy rains in the interior caused the delay.

We have given, from a Dublin Paper, a sketch of the progress of the Catholic Association.

THE BRITISH PRESS. pelhizal character: tiny tend to reduce public opinion to the guidance of men the least entitled to direct it, and by increasing the asperities arising from difference of party, to aggravate the evils of political hostility. Weak governments are perplexed and controlled, and even the opc rations of strong governments are not *infrequently thwarter], by the factious interference of these self-constituted guar dians of the public weal. There may be extraordinary cases, however, which afford some excuse for the existence of these associations. In Ireland, for example, where the Orangemen have bound themselves together by unlaw ful oaths to persecute and outrage their fellow-subjects of the Catholic religion, it is natural and allowable that the latter should have recourse to all lawful means of self-defence against their aggressors. We cannot, there fore, without great injustice, blame the Catholics for unit ing to represent their supposed grievances to Parliament and pray for redress ; and as the immense majority of the people of Ireland process that religion, the question as sumes a deeper interest. No well-informed or properly constituted man can look at the actual condition of that fair portion of our empire, and think of the history of its con nection with this country, without feeling warmly alive to its claims upon our most serious consideration. It is ob vious that the admission of the Catholics to the enjoyment of all those political rights which can be safely conceded to them, is essential to the permanent tranquillization and impartial government of Ireland. Great Britain has every reason for wishing to see Ireland flourishing and happy : the greater her prosperity, the fln»er would she he linked with our fortunes. It has been her misery that has always rendered her disaffected to us. Her population have viewed us as tyrants, not as benefactors; and having little to love in a struggle for separation, they were willing to risk what they had, for the advantages which their san guine feelings led them to expect front independence• The spread of English capital in Ireland, and the conse quent growth of Irish manufactures and commerce, and the intermixture of the people of both the islands, will gradually cement the union between them, anti promote the prosperity of the kingdom at large. If the Catholic Association be managed with wisdom and moderation, it may, perhaps, conduce greatly to the attainment of these most important objects; and though there is, we think, rather too restless a desire in some of its members to be always before the public for some purpose or other—the greediness for notoriety much detracting from the delicacy of their taste in that respect—yet we are inclined to con clude, that, upon the whole, the course the Catholic .Asso ciation have followed has been productive of general good. We join, therefore, cordially with their organ in advising them to be moderate, and to persevere. We copy in another part of our Paper an article from the Ulster Recorder, in which will be found a speech of Colo nel BLACIVt, at Sheriff' WARM'S party dinner, from which we regret to perceive, that we gave him credit, a ►hort time since, for much more sincerity in his conversion than he appears to be entitled to. This " oratiu spirans," we confess, takes us by surprise, as it was but a few weds ago that his accession from the Orange Society was an nounced in several newspapers by his own " desire and authority." It seems, however, that the Colonel is still in the corps, and wearing the regimentals of the party, with as bright a gloss as ever, so that we can now only say of him— " MAioit a tonrinquo rcorrentia," and trust to time, which, like wine, " does wonders every day." We certainly were not prepared to find him so soon consecrating his eloquence to the loyal " 'Prentice boys of Derry," and tossing off bumpers to the tune of " Croppies 'ie down.•" From Sheriff Wallas sr nothing surprises us. We have met this Orange champion so often in the career of his glory, that nothing factionary, from him, comes unex pected. lie distinguished himself, we well remember, at the present Loan MAYOR'S dinner, by proposing " The Glorious Memory," and other political toasts, which his Lordship refused to give, and which no sober individual in the company was found to sanction. At Ms (un official dinners, indeed, these factious touts fly from glass to glass, with a frequency that finds no opposition ; but this is easily accounted for—the persons that attend them are of that description, that, if you hut furnish them with wine, will swallow it to any wait that calls fur a brimmer. We should be amazed to find such men as these within reach of the City mace; did we not know, that to be an open and active enemy to the conciliatory system of Lord IVELLESLE Y, is a sufficient passport to the most lucrative offices in the gift of the Corporation of Dublin. This spirit of resistance is enough of itself to raise the meatiest persons to the highest honours. It is lamentable to remark of late, the increasing hostility which is manifested by the public press of Dublin, towards that system of policy by which his Excellency has laid a foundation for the welfare and tranquillity of Ireland. But the Orange Chieftains perceive that their cause is daily losing strength, from the conviction, so rapidly gaining ground, that an adherence to this policy, independently of the immediate good conse quences arising from it, can aline permanently establish the peace and prosperity of Eat N. They begin to perceive, in good earnest, that " The sands of their appointed years WC run ;" and that, if they do not note make a grand stand, and a glorious struggle, the loaves andfishes arc gone for ercr. 11VINDROR, OCT.

[*SOY OUS CORSISPOWDZIIT.I PAWS, OCT. 16. The. system of Jesuitism is daily making progress, but it is in its growing influence over public education that its progress is most sensibly perceived. Everybody has heard of the Erode A'or male. Everybody knows that this school has furnished all the institutions of France with a crowd of distinguished professors. One of the first objects of M. Frayssinous, oil assuming the Direction of Public Education, was to suppress this celebrated school, and he is now busily and anxiously employed in displacing all the professors who were educated in that admirable establish ment. M. Artaud, a young man of great merit, and Pro fessor in the College of Louis le Grand, had for a long while escaped the proscription ; but at length, about a fortnight ago, he was removed from his situation. Since his dismissal he has solicited an audience of the Bishop of Herroopolis (M. Frayisinous), to learn the reason why he was displaced. At first he was refusA an audience, hut having persisted in lf:s solicitations, he succeeded in ob taining it. As soon as the Bishop of Hermopolis saw him, lie exclaimed, " Ah, Monsieur, I know what has brought you here ; you have come to ask me why you have been dismissed : but you ought to recollect, that you belong to a society which is by no means Christian." The Professor was at a loss to know to what society the Grand Master alluded, and he therefore begged to be informed what was meant. " I mean to say, Monsieur," replied the Lishop, " that you belong to the Society of Christian Morality (Soricie de I'l.lh:rale 04n-flew), the morality of which is, in fact, not at all Christian." " I assure you, Monseig neur," said the Professor, " that you hays been led into an error ; nothing can be more truly Christian than the morality of that Society: its labours have been directed to spread elementary knowledge among the people, and ameliorate the discipline of the prisons; it has offered a prize for the best essay against the negro slave trade; it has patronized and circulated the best works to dissuade the working people from frequent ing lottery offic.'s and gaming tables; it has neglected no opportunity of improving the condition and morals of the lower classes of society. What conduct can be more truly Christian ? The Society of Christian Morality reckons among the number of its founders the most respectable and benevolent men in France, such as the venerable Duke of Rochefoucault Liancourt—" The Bishop of Ilemiopolis, at this passage, interrupted the Professor—" I repeat, Mon sieur, that the Society not at all Christian, whatever you may say, nor does it profess a system of morality at all Chris tian. Besides, your opinions are well known." The au dience was then dosed, and the Professor can learn nothing as to the reasons of his dismissal, but that he belongs to a society for the dissemination of Christian morality. Who will say now that Jesuitism is not making progress? It has already becoma strong enough to lay aside all disguise. The Paris Correspondent of the Courier thus alludes to the letter published in that paper respecting the alleged expedition to reconquer St. Domingo:— . I mu sorry that one of your Correspondents led you, for a moment, into error, with respect to the destination of the troops that embarked at Brest. You have since received a satisfactory es. planation upon the subjcet of this expedition, which was merely the ordinary execution of an administrative ordinance long since promulgated. The last conspiracy which was detected at Marti nique rendered this measure necessary; but under any circum. stances, indeed, it may easily be supposed that France, inclined to treat with St. Domingo, would give to her colonies of Marti nique and liuselaloupc a respectable attitude. You may pay as little attention to the tionscti.e that has been written about this ex pedition, as to that which has appeared about the arrival of a Rus sian squadron off Minorca." On Saturday last the Exchange at Paris was closed, but bargains in the Bente% were done at Tortoni's Coffee-house at 103 fr. A Decree of the King of Spain, just published in Cata lonia, orders the Universities of the kingdom to be closed till a general plan of public instruction, which a Special Committee has been ordered to draw up and lay before him, shall have received his approbation. Brazil, in her intercourse with foreign nations, is still governed, as must be expected, by laws made under the late Government. By the 19th paragraph of a law enacted on the 30th May, Issiu, it was ordered that no foreign VCR id should be entered at the Custom-house without pre seining her passport, and a manifest of her cargo, certified by the Consul or Vice-Consul of the nation residing at the port where she may have cleared.—Froin the moment the country declared its independence, the certificates of the Portuguese Consuls were disregarded ; but as Vice-Consuls are shortly to be appointed, it will be necessary to conform to the former regulations. Foreign vessels must deliver the following documents:—" The Bill of Ilealth"—" The Manifest of Cargo"—" Every Bill of Invoice—and " The passports of passengers." A convention has been concluded between the Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia, to abolish reciprocally the duties formerly paid net all removals of personal property from the territories of the one Sovereign to those of the other. Ibis convention was signed on the oil of May, by the Nlinisters Bernstortf and Marenheitn, and ratified by the Emperor of Russia on the 211 of September. This measure is the result of views similar to these which in 1819 produced in France the abolition of the !fruit d'Au ; both these proceedings distinctly mark the advance of the age in true civilization. There are letters in town from Maranham, which state. that Lord Cochrane had commenced the bombardment of Pernambuco, which was expected hourly to surrender to the Imperial floet. The following is an extract of a private letter from La Guayra, dated August 4t:—" We have advice from Puerto Cabello, that the expedition fur Peru, consisting of 3,300 men, sailed theWel inst. for Chagres, where they crossed the Isthmus, and embarked at Panama far Peru." By intelligence from Cuba to the Sitith of August, it ap pears that on the 23d an insurrectionary attempt was made in the town of Matanzas by the Lieutenant of the Ameri can dragoons, Don Gaspard Rodriguez, and a part of the corps under his command. This attempt is stated to have failed ; hut it is acknowledged that its author and his par tisans, though they had retired from Matanzas, had not been reduced to submission. Extract of a letter dated Zurich, Oct. S :—On the Ist, the whole sky being covered, and the heat very oppres sive, we perceived that a violent ferlim (wind that has some resemblance to the sirocco) prevailed in the Upper Alps. In fact, it blew with such violence in the Canton of Glarus, that even in the forenoon the inhabitants did not venture to light any fire even fur culinary pur poses. In Seliannis, where the same wind blew with great fury, they were not so prudent ; and in one of the uppermost houses, where some persons were washing linen, the wind caught the fire, and in a few niiiintes burnt the whole of the wooden building, and in less than half an hour ten others were in flames. All assistance was in vain, and the remaining part of the hamlet was saved only by being at a consiehtrable distance. Two dwelling-houses, eighteen barns and stables, and almost everything they contained, were destroyed. The old church was likewise burnt, and a man was killed by the falling of one of the walls. The situation of the people is the more deplorable as the greater part of their crops of cant was destroyed by hail, and now all the winter fodder fur the cattle is destroyed. Letters from Batavia, received veaterday, give a very unfavourable account of the trade with that country. Tlie heavy prohibitory duties lately imposed there upon British manufactures, had induced all the English merchants to forward their ships to Singapore. The mortality at Batavia was so great, that several of the European residents had be en carried off. Among them was Mr. Whiteman, of the house of Thompson and Co., and Mr. Jutting, of the firm of Colville and Ce. INDIA [F rom the Singapore Chrostick of April no] BURMAN MISSION TO The last mission from the Court of Ave to that of Cuchin.Ele na cotisisted of Mr. G. Gibson, as chief, and two Burman', as second and third members. Their train , including interpreters. seen. per:le ity for the eir.ba sav ott of the Gove rnor of tanks, and tuovants, amounted to seventy persons. Mr. Gib s° , (as Imports) is the son of an English gentleman, ai l WON in tact, born at Madras. lie appears a person of much sh rew d . nes% nod curious observation.

They declared that they could see rs benefit which could result from an intimate connexion between t ,„ people so remote from each other; and they had evidently apple : ! !tensions of alarming the Chineae and Siamese. their iromeaute neighbours, both of whom are known to cowllain the weaker antipathy against the Ilunnans, whose restless ambition they h i , e so frequently experieueed. After bring iletnined nine months at Saigon, an unfavourabl e communication was finally received from the capital. This B in . man mission would not he permitted to conic at all to the (4 est . The presents which they brought, with the exception of a singl e ruby ring, would not he received ; and a war-vessel was directof to be immediately prepared, to carry them back to their 0 . 3 country, with a deputation of 3landarinm, and an escort of 14 ! soldiers, to give them safe and honourable convoy. They weird. ingly quitted Saigun about the middle of March. C'pon this occasion a stronger reluctance has been evineed to en. ter into any close political connexion with the Court of Asa. than has been shown even in regard to any European nation. It ap. rent to be the ambition of the present king of toehin•China to imitate both the manners and the policy of the Chinese Court ; h e professes, therefore, an open aversion to strangers—the Chris/r em religion is no longer openly pnifessed—he has refused to admit ca. tholic Bishops into his presence, according to the usage of the lite King, and the French gentlemen who have been so long residing in the kingdom arc, it is said, preparing to leave it without d.. 117. Much state and pomp are observed, not only at the Court of the King, but also at the Courts of the Governors of Tocequis and Kambojia. A person attached to the Burman mission, gives us authentic ac. counts of a singular and unexliected discovery made by 31. in Cochin. China. This gentleman. travelling lately between the Southern and Northern provinces of that Kingdom, found a people professing the Brahminical worship. They are the race called the aboriginal inhabitants of the reentry, extending from 'ape St. James, to between the 1301 and 11th degrees of North latitse. This race of men is at present confined w the hilly parts of the country, the coast being occupied by the Cochin Chmese or Ares nation as conquerors. Ilindou temples and image' are not urfo. quern throughout the territory in question, and M. Diard is stated to have obtained both specimens and drawings. This must be looked upon as a very singtilar, and not easily te. counted for, event in the history of the Ilindoo religion, for the pro. pie who now profess it arc everywhere hemmed an by followen of Booth' and Confucius. AVill it be adduced as an argument in fa. your of the superior anidquity of the Beal 111 l inical over the Budd. hits form of worship ? I'ENANG . AND SINGAPORE. We have been not a little surprised and amused at entail, pars. graphs in some of the English periodical publications, which here just conic tohand, representing the existence of a most bitter riva:ry between the Settlements of Penang and Singapore. For our owl parts, we confess we know of no such rivalry. The merchants of Singapore. if we are rightly infortted, ore so well tor.ployed is their own affairs, that they have scarcely time to think of those of other people ; and we have the best grounds fur believing, that tine present Government of Prince %Vales Island has on every amain expressed the mart liberal sentiments towards singapore. Any feelings of jealousy indeed, between these two settlements, would be equally unreasonable and absurd. They are niutually beneficial to each other. and above all, the mass of British trade, which is carried on, owing to the existence of bosh of them. is ic. comparably greater than it would be by the existence of one of them only. COLOMBIA. (From the Columbiatto.l CARACAS, Arc. By the nogota mail of the 9th inst. we learn that the Span!r , Jsio Peru are divided among themselves. in consequence of the Kiog Spain having nominated General Olaneta, Viceroy, to the rust disgust of the other Generals, who think their claims to thatinst. tion better founded. They were in consequence preparing to mist the pretensions of Moneta, whilst he is equally resolved to defer& them with the fiwre under his commane. The Liberator, taking advantage of this disunion, and of the efficient state of his army, consisting of 12,000 men, marched on the 12th of April, and es.. presses himself confident of beating the enemy before the month d June. The churches and individuals in Truxillo have also fur. nished abundance of money for the supple of his army. A convoy left G tusvaqt,il for Peru on the 24th of April, having on board a thousand &Adios, consisting of veterans and new levies, with munitions of war, clothing, and every description of stores, the arrival of which sell be very seasonable. The squadron of Guides being no longer required in Pasto, has also marched for Peru, and had :arrival at Ott tyaquil on the above date. lu furtherance of these efforts it is highly satisfactory to observe the rapidity with which this Intendancy has been enabled to cum. ply with the requisition of Government for its quota of troops, for home and foreign service. It is a singular contrast to behold Spain straining every nerve to raise $1;.000 men for the defence and respect. ability of her home posseations, at a moment when Colombia is proceeding thus rapidly with her new levies, to the amount of 50.000 men, with money also at command for their equipment and efficiency. !Reasoning on this fact, we would ask which country is moat capable of Invading the other? Surely no further evidepec is necessary to prove to Europe and the world, the folly of fiuther re. sistance on the part of Spain. What a singular contrast do the two countries prownt—"'lpain withoat u national army, garrisoned by French troops; and Colombia with a supplementary army of fitly thousand men, securing herself from foreign aggression, and fur nishing aid to her oppressed neighbours. If facts. therefore, are (3 decide the question of indenenknee, which country is most intie pentlent and powerful at this mom.nt? LEEIVARD ISI.AND MAIL. The only intelligence of the least interest brought bv this mail, is au account of the sailing of the expedition fray Porto Cabello, to reinforce Bolivar with 3,500 trys for the Whiling, after marching across which, they will cm bark at Panama. (rrotti the St. Christ.)preer Advertiser of Sept. 7. An important communication from Earl Bathurst to his Exert , loncy the Captain-Conceal, was laid before the two liousesof Le gislature on Friday last. in reference to the slave !simulation. and containing some recommendations founded on the Irmidad Onlet in Council. with the view of consolidating various Enactments re. spotting that class, and which order it is intimated is Amu to be immediately extended to Ifemerara, Berbice, Saint Lucia, and the Mauritius. The Noble Earl's despatch likewise notifies the st pointment of the Colonial Bishops. No discussion took place in the !humor Assembly on the subject ; a Bill, we understand. being already in a course of preparation for the accenuplisnment of every practicable measure of improvement ; and it now rvansins a yttes don of the deepest interest for legislative determination, how tar the views of his Majnity's Government may be reconciied with the pa collar local cimme.tancosofthe country. In fieneral Nicolsy's speech to the Council and Assembly of I)ominica, his Excellency recommends the latter to provide imme diately a supply of anus and accoutrements for the militia, the pet sent appointments being alinost wholly useless. An attempt was made to effect the destruction of the town of Basseterre by fire, MI the 20th June. This, however, bad been hap pily frustrated, by the exertions of the inhabitants, the troops the garrison, and the crews of the vessels lying in the bay. Two negroes had barn taken up and imprisoned, on suspicion of having raised the tire. IFrom the St. Vincent Gazettt.l Numerous complaints have lately been made of the unfriendly conduct of Admiral Jacob, the Governor of Guadeloupe. in can ing British vessels to be detained. merely for passing within a co rain limited distance from that island. The particulars dein:led the following letter, fmtn Captain Llonacomls, commanding $ small vessel from Bermuda bound to Antigua. and addressed to his consignee there. will no doubt raise the attention of our nerd nen manders, and induce them to adopt effectual m e ans to obtain red tution of the vessels under detention. which, we understand. 11 21 been refused to Captain Laurence, of the Eden sloop of tzar, sad his vessel fired upon.
