NEW YOLK, SEPTEMBER 17. the toaster of the schooner Alvanlla, arrived at Baltimore, from Nassau, N.P., reports that the liaised States schooner Shark, Lieutenant Perry, sailed from thence on the 16th of August for the coast of Africa, all sell. The British .hip of war Tyne, after seeing • fleet from Jamaica clear of the Bahamas, suchored at Nassau, and was to sail immediately for the coast of Cuba, in company with a very fast sailing schooner, furuished by the 'merchants of Nassau, expressly to assist in.cap curing small piratical vessels, which are very nu merous in those eras. Two schorniera from New Providence had lately been captured by them near . Caps de Humana ; one, under the Sparitsh colours, was libeiated ; the other, British, was ransomed for 3,000 dollars. SEPTEMBER 23. A proposition was some time since made by the Intendant of Cuba to the Royal Government of Spain, for an advance of 400,000 dollar, aa a com pensation for making Havanna!, a free tart ; and be the last accounts it appears that a memorial on the subject has been put into circulation at Ha. 'swish, in order to effect a measure so desirable to the prosperity of the island. It calls loudly upon the inhabitants of Havannah to come forward and subscribe to this loan, the amount returnable in twelve mouths after the advance. Eighty-men vessels entered the port of Hs. vaunati during the month of August, viz.-94 Ainericatis, 33 Spanish, 15 English, one French, one Hamhurgh, one Dutch, one Sicilian, and one Vortugusse, besides eleven vessels of war, five of which were strangers, end six Spaniards. (From lite National lodell4-renter of September 110.] Lieutenant Weaver, of the navy, arrived in this city on Friday lust from the Pacific, though not immediately from our squadron in that sea.

They were said to be • part of a squadron of eigh teen sad, intruded for • descent on Maracaibo, with 1.400 troops, seder Morale% There remained no doubt at Crimea& of the amount of troops, or "the object of ibe movements. From the situation iu whicliCziptinis Williams left Maracaibo, he is of opinion that ir an immediate and resolute attack was made, that important post must fall into the hoods of the Spaniards. In that event, all new property would be converted to their use with out crieinoity, under the authority of a paper bloCkade, for no other has existed, as Captain Wil liams has entered that port four times during the last seven asosstlte. without having seen • single Spanish cruiser. The amount of American property at Maracaibo, would not probably exceed 12,000 dollars; and that of British. belonging principally to merchant" of Liverpool, 100,000/. ; and also a considerable amount of Dutch property. Al though it was rumoured at Curacoa that, in con sequence of the many civilities, &c. General Mo rales had received from the inhabitants, Dutch pro perty would be respected. Captain Williams is, however, af opinion that the respect shown by Mo rale' to Dutch property will be of that kind "hewn by a hungry man to a favourite dish placed within Ins reach. BAYOI9NE AAD FRAIVKFORT PAPERS. BAYONNE. OCTOBER 12. The military preparations proceed without any intro ruption. The most recent letters from the three provinces of Risco) , state, that the public tranquillity becomes more and more consolidated by the energetic mea sures of the Magistrate., supported by the exer tions of the different constitutional columns, which are in constant motion. The bands which infested those provinces being entirely dispersed.h•ive thrown themselves towards St. Ander, and particularly to wards Iraty. The news of the defeat of the Roy alists who went from that place is confirmed, and they were repulsed with severe loss. It is even re ported that the place is invested by their adversa ries, who hoped to make themselves masters of it in a few Jays; but they have repeated this boast so often, that we most not give credit to it, and espe cially because Espinosa is not strong enough to un dertake this operation and, at the same time to at- ' tend to the maintenance of tranquillity in the ;ate- rior of the province. The Secret Committee of the Faith at Bayonne has highly disapproved of the conduct of Colonel Cubra and of the Commandant Redonde, who con ducted this movement on the 4th. It has been de• cided in consequence of this, that Don Carlos O'Donnell shall go and take the command of Na varre, and of the three provinces, for the purpose of organizing the troops of Iraty and recovering the royalist cause in that country, by encouragiug peo ple'. minds and raising new levies. This General has fixed his departure for the lith. Re will pro ceed first to Traty. le our neat we shall give the Proclamation which he has prepared to be address ed ►o the Navorreee and Biscayaes. The oceounts from Saragossa of the sth seem to be very favourable to the constitutional cause, not withstanding the Agents of the Faith whom we have in this city represent them in a different light. The following are the accounts we receive of the operations of the army of Mina :—On the 30th this General proceeded with about 8,000 men from Calif towards Berge, with his right sup ported by Agnienont, and leaving Solsona and Cur dena sufficiently reinforced. General Milani; with an equal force advanced upon Olut ; his vanguard marched on the id towards Campredon, leaving Mamma and Vich secure against any attack. General Z4rco del Valle had passed the Cinca, and entered Tremp on the Ist, with his left leaning on the moun tains upon the frontiers of France, and his right towards Balaquer, which is in the pos session of the Royalists, and which is closely blockaded. At the moment of the departure of the courier from Saragossa, it was positively affirmed than the vanguard of General Mina was on the 3d within three leagues of Urgel, the Junta of which place had retired to Puicerds. The Royalists were still concentrated on the banks of the Sere. from Urgel to Puicerds; but several Chiefs of gue rillas had refused to obey General Rrolles. Ge neral Mina has ly punished on his way several individuals who had declared in favour of the insorrection. Some priests bad even been hanged. The rear of the Constitutional army is constantly harassed by the bands of the Defenders of the Faith, who alarm the garrisons and interrupt the communications; but it seems to be the lutes tion of the Constitutional Generals to let them alone for the present, and to direct their whole efforts against Urgel and Paicerda, in order to put down the Government of the Regency, and that they will then adopt measures to restore peace in the interior. These same letters describe in the strongest terms the enthusiasm of the troops of General Mina, as well as of the good spirits of thel inhabitants of Barcelona, above 4,000 of whom have now. jutted the army of General Milano FRANKFORT, OCTORICK 12. - s Thq eilkinseine Zeitung has ■n extremely long letter relative to the affairs of Greece, dated Gus tuni, iir the Peloponnesus, the 26th of August, the writer of which stales, that perfect reliance may be placed on the accounts which he gives, because he was eye-witness to sham all those events, and, his inforination respecting the others is derived from sources that spay be depended upon. He coin . • woe's by otiseiviog,.that it is not to be'wonJered at if some dissentious have an al amongst the Greeks them se l ves , an d h e sicribes then to lint 6Y experience in political 61E+4.4 and 4111'00ra to want of money, While the ehemy employ every means 16 'reduce and •corrupt the • Chieto. Distigrecutents have thus been produced between some Generals and the G.ivernment, and many pervosis have with drawn discontented. A great note tier of volunteers, Mostly country people, had gone to their homes to attend to the labours of agriculture. Chourschid had attemp b ted to enter the Pclopon nesus from Epirus, with a numerous *any, com posed chiefly of Albaniatia, but was completely beaten by the . Greeks, and lost 8,000 men in a bat tle with the Su lion,. 'emissarieo afterwards in forming him of their success in owing dissection among the Creeks, he thought the time was come to execute his plan, which appears to have been conceived by a genius superior to that of the Turks. He repaired to Larissa, where a great army was ready to take the field : it is afflrmed it consisted of 50,000 men, chiefly cavalry. He pulsed the Ther mopylae with little opposition, and detached a corp. of 20,000 cavalry, and some infantry, under Moh amed Pache, of Drains ; Ali Paella, Mora!) Vs lesi (who is dead), Ali Bey, appointed Peelle of the Mores ; Kiaja, of Chourschid, and several others. This corps, which had 10,000 horses, mules, and camels, to convey ammunition, &c. advanced with the characteristic impetuosity of the Turks, tra versed with the rapidity of the wind, Thebes, Li vadat, and Megan, laid waste and massacred all that came in its way, and arrived on the 18th of July at the Isthmus of Corinth. which city it easily took, the few Gaeeks who had been posted at the en trance of the defiles to defend it having withdrawn into the mountains. About eighty Greeks who were in the fortress spiked up the few guns left, and retired. Thus this formidable corps entered the Pelopotinesus. Leaving a small division in the Isthmus, and an other at Corinth, the Turks advanced without re siarance tewards Argo*, and arrived before Napoli di Romans. The writer here ►elates what happened at Athens after the Turks capitulated : they were most of them still in the city, waiting for the transports which were to convey them to Asia, when the news of the Turkish army having passed the Ther mopylte gave the prisoners courage, sud they began to ill-treat the Greek inhabitants, and seize on arms. The Greeks, seeing the danger, resolved to get rid of tlzeir prisoners who thus violated the ca pitulation ; part of them were killed in this pope• hat tumult—those only escaped who retired to pri vate houses and the hotels of the Consuls, aud who were afterwards taken under the protection of two French vessels. Napoli di Romania had, in fact, capitulated, but the garrison would not keep the capttul.tion when it heard of the approach of the Turkish army. It demanded terms, which the Greeks refused. The writer then goes into the details of the fur ther operations, which, on the whole, agree with those already published from oilier quarters, con firming the total defeat and destruction of the l'urkish army. THE BRITISH PRESS. LONDON, TUESDAY. Octossa 44, INC In our Paper of yesterday we stated our reasons fp: discrediting the report is a French Paper, an nouncing the defeat of MINA by the army under the Baron D'Eitou.si. io as adios near Olot, which commeoced on the 3d iestant. If any doubt remained on the subject, it must be removed by the arrival of Bayonne Papers, which give an account of its position on the 3d, the day on which the action is stated to have taken place. Letters and Papers from the Cape of Good Hope to the sth of August were received yesterday. They furnish details of the dreadful hurricane which lately visited that colony. Captain CLocrr, a con fidential friend of the Governor, and a Staff Officer, who was dispatched, ns one of the livers stales, " to communicate the miseries of the inhabitants to the British Government. and to implore aid and assist ance from the Mother Country," arrived yesterday at Lord Bratruest's Office sit') dispatches. We have received New York Papers to the 9..5rh ult. and Philadelphia► to the 23d. In the fanner city we regret to find that the fever appears rather to increase than abate. although, from some heavy rains which had fallen tlorte, the most beneficial effects were looked for. la oar extracts it will be seen that there is intelligence from Lima which may haply disturb the tranquillity of the eager purchasers or the new Peruvian . Loan. A battle, it seems, had taken place between the Royalists and a division of SAN MARTIN'S army, in which the latter were nearly destroyed. A Frankfort Paper of the 12th instant contains an account of the advance of the Turks into the Mores, sod their expuhion from it by the Greeks. It does Hot differ materially f.nut the details already pub liahed. The following is an extract : FiANICPoIiT, oCTOBEI ti.

The question of the repeal of the Union Is ad vocated in Dublin with considerable ardour and per severance. A series of Resolutions on the subject, and a Petition to Parliament founded thereon, were adopted by the Corporation of that City in their Quarterly Assembly on Friday last. The expe rience of each succeeding day must strengthen this feeling in the City of Dublin, which has suffered so severely by that measure. ilia MAJESTY, we understand, has it in ciao templation to make considerable alterations and em. provements at Wiudaor Castle, amongst which a new grand entrance will farm a prominent feature. lu his last visit his MAJESTY spent nearly five hours in viewing the whole range of apartments, considering plans, &c. It was generally observed that the KIND never appeared in better health and spirits. Since his return to the Cottage his MAJESTY has not allowed • day to pass without taking exer cise; when the weather permitted, he has been on horseback for several hours together io the Park, accompanied by Earl HARCOURT, &c. Should his MAJESTY accept the invitation to the Civic dinner s the following regulations are tie be adopted, as far as respects the militury; the light horse volunteers will meet his MAJESTY at Temple-ba►, •nd will escort him to Guildhall, where the royal artillery company will be drawn up to receive him.

Fogrumaie ESCAPE.—About ten months ago a vessel, called the MAGRATH, master, sailed from Yctiglial, hound to Pool, but not having been heard of for • considerable time since, ►t was rightly conjectured that she was lost. A letter has been receiv.d in Youghal within these few days, trom one of the crew, at Southampton, stating, that the re►eel foundered off Scilly, and that the master and crew got into the long-host, and were, afer some lime, taken np by a Mitch East Indianian, on her voyage to Batavia, and taken to that settle ment, a here they were treated in the most hand some manner by the authorities of that island, and a pacsrge procured for them in the fit at ship home ward bound. The man slates, that the master and the remainder of the crew might be daily ex. peeled. On Wednesday the smack Rogle.

This, we believe, is the first importation of beavers into this country. The state of the pavements in the public streets in the city having become daily worse and worse for slime weeks past, and no probability existing that they will be better upon the present system, a pub" tic meeting will shortly be called to take into cow. sideratiou the best means to be adopted to remedy the evil. ~~\ wirl s 13.45-.?
