direction of the troops of the Pacha of Scutari, on their march from Widdin." The Odessa Journal of the 26th ult., says that all symptoms of the plague have disappeared, both in the town and neighbourhood. The same Journal contains an article on the peace which is the final answer to t h e i nvect i ves o f t h e foreignjournalist, who, only six weeks ago, prophe cied all kinds of disasters to' the Russian armies, which were to meet with invincible obstacles in the population of Rumelia, aided by the nature of the country, and in the heroic character of the Sultan. The campaign of General Paskewitsch was, accord ing to them, a mere diversion rather than a direct attack on the Turkish empire, arid the General could not advance beyond Erzeroum. The breaking out of the plague at Odessa, said they, must check the movements of General Diebitsch, and compel him to retreat, nay, to give himself up to the Turks not to perish with hunger. But while the gentlemen were writing, our brave troops were marching. Er zeroum, the capital of Asiatic Turkey, was in our hands, and the troops that were to defend it sur rendered as prisoners of war, without fighting. In Europe things went on still more rapidly. Adria nople the capital of the Ottomans at the time of their highest splendour, received us as friends rather than as enemies ;'the Turkish troops laid down their arms and begged leave to return to their villages, to follow, as in times of peace, their usual labours. As for the conveyance of provisions from Odessa, it was no more interrupted than that from other ports. The ships sent from Odessa conveyed to the army not:merely necessaries, but superfluities, and even anticipated its wishes and plans, by conveying to it as it advanced, whatever it wanted to all the sea ports, which were successively taken at the first at tack of our fleet. Our standards already waved almost on the walls of Constantinople, when at the urgent entreaty of the enemy, our troops received orders to halt. The Sultan gave himself up to the magnanimity of the Emperor, and after ten days' negotiations peace at length put an end to our exertions and our victories. Europe will remember that the Porte owes its actual existence to the moderation of our generous monarch. It depended solely on our army to march for four days longer (for fighting was out of the question), and then to exclaim, "the empire of the Ottomans has ceased to exist."—Prussian ,State Gazette, Oct. 12. BRUSSELS PAPERS. SERES, SEPT. 17.—The general discontent which has prevailed here for a long time, and increased on every account of the progress of the Russians, mani fested itself openly a few days ago. Abtig Bey, brother to Jussuf Pacha, who was made prisoner by the Russians at Varna, and who was the chief of the malcontents, after having secured the town, de posed Cara-Osman Oglou, the Governor of Seres appointed by the Sultan, and put himself in his place. Similar accounts have been received from Drama, and there is DO doubt that if the Russians should come nearer to us the city would immedi ately submit to them and implore their protection. DARMSTADT, OCT. 6.—The autumnal reviews have been wholly prevented this year by the bad weather. The troops that were assembled here have been sent back to their respective garrisons. MEINENGEN, OCT. I.—Our Duchy having been enlarged by the partition of that of Saxe Gotha, it has been necessary to make some changes in the Constitution of 1824. His Serene Highness, there fore, after consulting the Estates on the 23d of August, published a new fundamental law, of which the followsng are the principal articles :—No part of the territory of the country, however small, can, on any pretext, be &tutted from it im favour of an alio dial heir. The Duke and all the Princes of his fa mily shall be of age, and capable of succeeding to the Government at 21 years. No regard is paid to difference of religion in, public offices. The civil condition of the Jews shall be regulated by special laws. No difference of rank exempts any one from the duties common to all subjects, nor confers any privilege for the acquisition of privileges or public offices. The Evangelic Church is that of the coun try, and shall be supported from the public revenue, if the funds of the church are insufficient. All other communion; enjoy the protection of the State, and entire liberty of conscience, so long as they conform to the laws. The number of Representatives of the Estates is 24, viz. eight for the proprietors of the noble estates, eight for the cities, and eight for the country ; the two latter classes to be elected for six years. Every resolution proceeding from the Sove reign must be signed by a member of the Privy Council, or by a Minister, who is personally respon sible for the legality of the act. Every Sovereign is to engage in writing, on his honour, to observe and protect the Constitution in its wholetenour.— Frankfort Papers to Oct. 12. ROME, OCT. 10.—Two individuals of the Asso ciation of the Carbonari have been sentenced to death, and several others to the galleys, but the set:- tences are not yet published. BUCHAREST, SEPT. 21.—Immediately after receiv ing from Count Diebitsch dispatches with the news of the signature of peace, the president Selouchin sent couriers to the Commanders of the several corps in the Principalities, ns well as to General Kisseleff, who, according to a report received yes terday, had advanced as far as Sophia. It seems that these provinces which the Russians, according to the conditions of peace, may occupy for ten years, will not so soon enjoy their political independence, and that they will long bear the bur dens of the war. STOCKHOLM, SEPT. 29.—1 t is said that her Ma esty the Queen will be crowned at Drontheim next year, as Queen of Norway. The debates on the budget continue; the first two chapters have been agreed to by the Chamber of Nobles, as the Committee proposed them, with very few alterations. AMERICAN PAPERS. NEW YORK, SEPT. 2.s.—The Two Marys, Captain Kennedy, has come up, in the very short passage of forty-three days from Buenos Ayres, which place she left on the sth of August. From Captain Kennedy the Editors of the Chronicle learn that the country was in a dreadful state of confusion ; that shortly after the signing of the articles of peace, fresh disturbances took place, and Rosas was again menacing the city with an attack. A new election took place on the 26th of July, when Lavalle was re-elected, which had caused great dis satisfaction. Captain Kennedy being apprehensive of a detention, abruptly left the port. In consequence of this state of things, business was entirely suspended. Flour was selling at 70 dollars per barrel, paper; Domestics, 9f cents, specie ; hides, 23 to 24 dollars per pesada. EXTRACT OF A LETTER DATED BURNOS AYRES, AUG. 3. " The moment of the departure of the Two Marys, for Baltimore, leaves us in a state of anxious suspence. The elections which were held on the 26th ult. by agreement between the belligerent parties under the command of Lavalle and Rosas, it is said, have not been acceded to by the latter, and from appearances, hostile movements are again expected. It is generally believed, however, that the outside, or Federal party, will succeed without much difficulty, in which event tranquillity will be maintained. " In consequence of the revolutionary movements and the almost universal want of confidence, the currency of the country has experienced a further d et nreciation,.and doubloons are now at 85 to 87 dollar:- xchange on London, Sid. to 9d. per dollar, an' , produce nearly in proportion. 44 Rs., A !ic.4.—To-day the Governor has issued a proclamation, in which he says, that the obstacles to the re-union or the Legislature are not of a seri ous cast, and will soon be arranged ; at the same time, he declares ti;,kit there will be no further civil war. This has tranquillized the people's minds, and on the whole things wear a more favourable aspect. " AUG. 5, 4 P.3l.—it is confidently said that all differences are settled." " PROCLAMATION. " Citizens !—After you have elected your repre sentatives, some trifling obstacles have occurred to prevent the assembling of the Legislature. We can never expect that the calm of reason will instantly prevail after the storm we have just experienced. " If there is cue among you who fears the re newal of civil war, he may rest satisfied that this will not be the case; for where there a Porteno, who, at the sight of our fields desolate and bathed in blood, wishes again to raise his arm against his countrymen, and give the signal for fresh disasters ? Government is determined to maintain the preserva tion of peace, and promote with all its powers the re-establishment of permanent order. " Some means of precaution have been found ne cessary to prevent the commission of excesses by lawless men, but the means taken to secure the lives and fortunes of the citizens ought not to create alarm and disturb the tranquillity of the inhabitants. The Gevernment hopes that the measures which have been taken to secure a lasting peace to the province will not be in vain. " JUAN LAVALLE. " Buenos Ayres, Aug. 3." MExtco.-1 he army under the command of Gen. Santa Anna left Tuspan on the 13th and 14th of August for Tampico—the greater part were cavalry. The states of Guanajuato, San Luis, and Zaculecus, have offered the Mexican Government 20,000 men, which they will maintain during the war. FROM TA3lPlCo.—Letters from Tampico have been received by the brig Eliza, at Philadelphia, from Vera Cruz, which state that Santa Anna had made an attack upon the Spaniards with 2,000 men. He was repulsed with the loss of 400 killed and missing. The reserve of Santa Anna's army was in the immediate vicinity, and it was expected the next attack would be decisive, and end in the total de struction of the Spaniards. FROM CURACOA.—We are indebted to Captain Budd, of the brig Napoleon, for Curagoa Papers to the 29th of August. GENERAL SANTANDER.—" We mentioned at a previous period," says the Paper of the latest date, " that General Santander, Vice-President of Co lombia, was taken out of the gaol of Bocachico in Carthagena, where he was most rigorously treated, to be transported into another place of confinement in La Guayra, and that he came to that effect pri soner on board the frigate Cundioatnarca. We now learn that the Dictator ultimately granted him his passport, but exclusively for Europe, forbidding him to come into the West Indies or any part of North America, or to write against Colombia ; in contra vention whereof, he shall forfeit all his property which remains in hostage; and in case he returns to Colombia he is to be shot, being declared an out law, the inhabitants being also authorized to kill him, whenever they happen to encounter him in Colombia. It is said he arrived on the 13th inst. at Puerto Cabello, where he received his passport, and on the 15th was brought on hoard a Hamburg brig, which was to sail for Hamburg." FRO3I IIivANNAH.--By the brig Mary Jane, Correja, which arrived late on Monday evening, we have been put in possession of Harannah papers to the sth instant. They do not contain any political intelligence of the slightest interest, and are silent with regard to a second expedition against Mexico. In fact, we learn by letters from first-rate sources, that there was not another expedition fitting out. We learn from Captain Smith, of the brig Sophia and Eliza, who arrived last night from Rio Grande, that the inhabitants of Buenos Ayres were very much dissatisfied with the administration of General Brown, who had been appointed President; in consequence of which, he, with his family, decamped in the night. It was reported at Rio Grande, that Monte Video was closely besieged by the Buenos-Ayrian army, and that there had been considerable skirmishing be tween the Buenos-Ayriuns and Indians who infested the suburbs of the city. Business extremely dulL We are requested to state that the Octavo Edition of Mr. MAcrauLANE's " Constantinople in 182," with an Appendix, containing Remarks and Ob servations on the Autumn of 1829, is now ready, and _ _ may be had of the Publishers, Messrs. SAuNnitri; and OTLEY, Conduit-street, at the Libraries, or of the Book sellers in Town or Country ; also, the Additions, printed separately in quarto, for the convenience of former pur chasers. The desertion of wives and families by the labouring classes is a growing evil, which, if not checked, will prove a serious burthen to the parishes. Guernsey and Jersey are the chief resorts of these unprincipled vaga bonds, the number of whcin has reached an alarming height.—Devonport Telegraph. There is now at this port a vessel called the Perseverance, recently arrived at Sierra Leone, which is said to be the fastest sailer in the world. She was cap tured by the Black Joke, on the coast of Africa, when loaded with 600 slaves, condemned and sold at Sierra Leone, was built at Baltimore, registers 284 tons, and her deck runs the prodigious length of 120 feet.—Devon port Telegraph. MORE SHAVING.—This admirable plan for the punishment, reformation, and health of drunkards, continues, of course, to be persevered in at the Police office, and that with the most marked success. On Wed nesday night another distinguished votary of Bacchus was carried to the office in a state of beastly intoxication. After Doctor NEILSON had laboured with the sot for an hour or two, endeavouring to get the tube of the pump into his stomach without effect, from the manner in which he contrived to hold his tongue ; and after he had nearly bit through the lignurnvitas wedge for placing betwixt his t e eth, as well as the Doctor's finger—the Police official barber was sent for, who cut the matter short in a twink ling, but not before he had lipped five razors in the execu tion of the difficult duty. The tonsor avers it was a head like Sampson's, on which neither razor nor water had ever before come. Glasgow Herald. MELANCIIOLY SUICIDE.--On Saturday, Mr. Coos:, the landlord or the Canterbury Arms, Marsh gate, Lambeth, put a period to his existence by suspend ing himself from a beam in the skittle-ground, in the rear of his own premises. He had left his house about ten o'clock in the morning, giving, at the time, an intimation that he was going to the hair-dresser's; but on his not returning for some hours, apprehensions were entertained for his safety, and persons were despatched in every place where it was thought peobable to meet with him. No tidings could, however, be heard of him ; and it was not till a late hour in the day that he was discovered hanging as above described. Upon the unfortunate man being cut down be was quite cold from the length of time he bad been suspended. The deceased had only been married two years, and was highly respected. Another melancholy instance of self-destruc tion by poison was committed on Saturday afternoon, by a lady named JACQUES, sister to Mr. HENRY ADAMS, the proprietor of the Ship Tavern, in Leadenhall-street, op posite the. India-house. It appears that sometime back the unfortunate lady, who was about 40 years of age, put chased a quantity of oil of turpentine and arsenic, for the pur pose of destroying bugs ; and, to prevent any mischief arising from its being in the house, she placed a label upon the bottle, upon which she wrote " Poison." For several days past Miss ES had evinced great alteration in her manner, and always appeared in a state of melancholy; but no suspicion for a moment arose in the minds of her family that it was at all indicative of insanity, therefore no particular notice was taken of her, and she continued as usual to superinted the business of the tavern. On Sa turday afternoon, about three o'clock, the unhappy lady went up stairs, and meeting with one of the chamber maids she said "My dear ANN, you will see me no more ; I shall not be here to-morrow." From the dejected anti pallid countenance, the girl became much alarmed, and replied, " For God's sake, Miss, what is the matter with you ?" The unhappy woman 'exclaimed, " My dear girl, I cannot live, adding one sin to another. 1 have swal lowed the bug poison, and my end is fast approaching." The servant alarmed the family immediately, and Mr. Pocii, of Gracechurch-street, was instantly procured, to whom the unfortunate woman confessed that she had drank a tumbler full of the bug poison, and expressed her conviction that all he could do to save her would be of no avail. The stomach-pump and every remedy was used to preserve her existence, but all failed, and she very shortly after expired. She was a maiden lady, and beloved by all who knew her, PRICKS OF STOCKS THIS Rank stock 3 per Ceut. Red. 6 99 “ ,i% 3 per Cent.

They state that FERDINAND has re cognised his brother MIGUEL, as a Legitimate Usurper : (From the Quotidienne of Saturday.) PARIS, OCT. 16.—Spain has just recognized Don Miguel as the legitimate sovereign of Portugal. This news is certain. We have just received the official notice of it from Madrid. It was worthy of the King, and an ex ample which we cannot but believe will be soon followed by all the other great powers of Europe. (From the Messaper des Cliambres of Saturday.) (SECOND EDITION.) The Agram Journal of the 3d of October contains the following from the frontiers of Bosnia, of 24th Sept. : " The Vizier of Bosnia has received from the Pacha of Scutari, who is already on the march with his troops, or ders to proceed with his forces in Bosnia to Adrianop►e. which is also the destination of the Pacha of Scutari. The Vizier of Bosnia will commence his march en the 28th, and has summoned the militia, which, however, has re fused to obey him. Notwithstanding, the Vizier will set off on the appointed day, with his guards and household troops, amounting to 300 men. He has already appointed his Caimacan." PARIS, OCT. 17.—The Journal of Grenoble, of the 13th, announces that their Majesties the King and Queen of Naples will arrive there on the Ist, and will set out on the 3d for Valence. Colonel Gustayson, Ex• King of Sweden, has set out from Leipsic for the Netherlands. It is affirmed, that he is going to embark for the East, where the policy of the Sovereigns, formerly his colleagues, assure him the pos- session of a new throne.

They contain an interesting account of experiments made at Stockholm, with gun boats towed by a steam-boat, which clearly illus trates the advantages of the tug system : ST. GALLEN, IN SWITZERLAND, OCT. 6. We have received the most afflicting accounts of the inundations, which have almost entirely ruined the valleys of Misox and Calanka, where the Moisa and the Celancasea, swelled by the torrents, have caused dreadful ravages. Grono is almost wholly destroyed. At Rogoredo, a river now flows in the place where a few days ago stood the church of St. Sebastian and many fine lisbitations. At Caneo, where the waters threatened to swallow up every thing, the clergyman, with his parishioners, assembled in the church, had given up all hopes of escape, and recited the prayers for the dead. How ever, only one young man was drowned. On the 20th September the waters again threat ened the communications between Coire arid St. Gallen, on the frontiers of the Grisons, but the efforts of the inhabitants of Roga►tz still kept them within bounds. At the very moment of danger the Go- vernment of St. Gallen sent M. Held, one of the judges, to the spot. Some days later, M. Saylern, Couasellor, and M. Baumgartner, Secretary of State, visited the whole frontier line, in order to adopt such measures as may seem necessary, in con cert with the Government of the Grisons. - STOCKHOLM, SEPT. 22. The little squadron, which sailed a few weeks ago for the purpose of exercise, returned at the beginning of last week, the result having proved highly satisfac tory. The usefulness of small boats for the defence of the coast was confirmed. The guns on board them can be fired with extraordinary accuracy and rapidity,7viz., three times in two minutes. It was also observed that these small vessels keep the sea well in stormy weather, and are easily managed. The experiments made with these boats have fully succeeded; a single steam-boat drew after it 32 gun boats, and towed half a German mile (two and a half English miles) in an hour, with a quite con trary wind; it drew 16 gun-boats, for four miles (20 English), and advanced about three and a quarter English miles in an hour. In this exercise a new system of manoeuvring was tried and adopted. Though it rained incessantly from the Ist to the 15th September, the Crown Prince was present, and directed all the manoeuvres. Count Pahlen, Governor-General of Norway, with Admirals Kron stailt, Coyet, and Klint, were in the suite of the Crown Prince. The squadron consisted of two di visions of small and two of large boats, two vessels for the Commanders, one for the pupils of the mili tary school, one for reconnoitreing, two transports, the Norwegian corvette, Alsen, and the Swedish brig Dolphin. The crews of all these vessels amounted to 1,163 men. VIENNA, OCT. G. A Russian and an Austrian courier have been dis patched to-day to St. Petersburgh. A French courier arrived from Paris. The following is from an Paris Correspondent. We would make some comments, but we have not space to-day : " PARIS, OCT. 17. " While you are all exclaiming in London at the exorbitancy of the demands of the Empe ror Nicholas, it appears by letters from Constan tinople of the 27th of September, that the Franks at Pera arc astonished at his generosity and mo deration. They think with you, however, that there is still something behind—some secret ar- tides which do not appear in this first chapter of the treaty ; but they seem to be led to such a supposition, not by any thing which has yet transpired inconsistent with the moderation which has unifounly been professed by the Russians, but merely from a general and abstract incredu lity, originating in what I fear is little better than a libel on human nature in general. It is thought that, because the Emperor of Russia stands for the moment on the vantage-ground of recent victory, he will be so blind to the true in tePest a his empi?e, as to seek for advantages and territorial aggrandizement, which it is clear he could only maintain by setting England, France, and Austria at defiance. For my part, I continue, with great submission to the argu ments so ably and so energetically stated in The Sun, to be of the opinion I ventured to com municate on the first telegraphic announcement of the treaty, and 1 am persuaded that the only serious danger to be apprehended is the remote contingency arising from the possession by the Russians of the territories, which it is said are to be impignorated as a security for the ultimate payment of the indemnity. That, however, is a danger which might surely be obviated by the interposition of the great Powers, whose inte rest it is to maintain that nice equilibrium which the possession of the Principalities by Russia, or at least the eventual overthrow of the Turkish empire, might be sufficient to disturb ; and this, as I hinted in a former letter, might be accom plished, either by prompt payment of the stipu lated indemnity, or by the substitution of a gua rantee for the territorial security which is said to form the subject of one of the forthcoming chap ters of the treaty. The letters from Pera, how • ever, seem to point to a different quarter for the subject of the secret articles which are still sup posed to be held in retentis. Their object is believed to be the demolition of Silistria, and of the fortifications of Shumla. It is added, that the frigate Raphael is to be restored to the Rus sians, and that the Turkish fleet is never for the future to pass the Bosphorus, thus leaving to the Russians the exclusive right of maintaining a fleet of ships of war in the Black Sea, of which they would thus be the sole masters. If there were any truth in this supposition, it would leave room for' a much more serious imputation against the motives of Russia than any which has yet appeared, since it would deprive the Porte of the means of effectual resistance against any future invasion of its territory. It is be lieved at Pera, that towards the middle of Octo ber a new Russian Ambassador would arrive at Constantinople, and the Count de Pahlen, one of the negotiators of the treaty, is mentioned as the person who will probably be appointed. The Count de Guilleminot, the French Ambassador, is said to have sustained many marks of cold ness on the part of the Ministers of the Sultan, who thus expressed their discontent at the in tractability of this diplomatist in the course of the late negotiations. " It is stated in last night's Gazette, that the treaty which has appeared in the London Papers, and which was signed at Adrianople on the 14th of September, is not the definitive treaty, inasmuch as de Royer, the Prussian Minister, had ob tained modifications of it, even after its signa ture by the Grand Seignor, and as it is gene rally believed that the Emperor of Russia would consent to further modifications on its arrival at St. Petersburgh. " The severity of the measures adopted by the French Ministry against the promulgators of the Association in Brittany, for providing mutual protection to its members against the payment of taxes not sanctioned by the law, has not had the effect of preventing similar associations from being formed in different parts of the kingdom, and even in the capital itself. For the purpose of anticipating the objection which was urged so strongly against the Northern Insurance Com pany, that it did not originate in any real appre hensions entertained by the people at large, but was merely a result of the efforts of the press in pursuit of notoriety and agitation, the Society which has now been organized in Paris has adopted resolutions, and received some thou sands of signatures in the course of a very few days, without having once bee► noticed in any of the Constitutional journals. Among the sig natures which have been already affixed to the resolutions of the Association are those of Messrs. Abbey de Pompieres, Lafayette, Ma thieu Dumas, Lafitte, Alexander de Laborde, Chardel, Ternaux, and Eusebe Salverte, all Members of the Chamber of Deputies; and many otlers, such as M. de Corcelles, the De puty for the capital, and the Representatives of neighbouring departments, who are at present absent from Paris, have sent in their adhesion to the Society, expressed in terms at least as strong as any thing which appeared in the original re solutions adopted in Brittany. The following is the Parisian document alluded to : " ' ARTICLE 48TH OF TUE CHARTER. " ' No impost can be established or collected, unless it " ' has been consented to by the two Chambers and sane "' tioned by the King. GENERAL ARRANGE3fENrs OF THE BUDGET. " All contributions direct or indirect, other than those " authorised by the present law, by what title or under " ' what denomination soever they may be collected, are " formally forbidden under the penalty against the au "' thorities ordaining them, against the officers framing " ' tarifs and schedules, and against those who receive " them, of being prosecuted as extortioners, without " prejudice to an action for repayment within three " years against all receivers, surveyor., and collectors, " and that without any previous authority for bringing such action before the tribunals. ARTICLE 174 OF THE PENAL CODE. C All public functionaries and public officers, their clerks and overseers, and all collectors of duties, taxes, ' c ontributions, tolls, and public or common revenues, with their clerks or overseers, who shall be convicted of the crime of extortion, by ordering the collection, or by exacting or receiving what they know not to be " due, or exceeding what is due of duties, taxes, contri " butions, tolls, or revenues, or for salaiies or perqui sites, shall be punished—viz., functionaries and public officers by the penalty of dismissal, and their clerks or overseers by imprisonment for a period not less than two nor more than five years. The guilty shall be " sides be condemned to a tine of which the maximum shall not be more than the fourth, nor the minimum less than the twelfth part of the damages and restitu -4' tion awarded to the party aggrieved. If the collection of an impost which could not he " ' voted in conformity wits► the Charter be a crime, the " refusal of such an impost is a duty. 4 6 T o facilitate the accomplishment of this duty, when " circumstances require it, the undersigned have agreed " ' to what follows : "' ART. 1. The undersigned will resist, by all legal means, the collection of any impost not consented to according to the forms prescribed by the Constitutional " ' Charter. ART. 2. The undersigned will contribute, in pro «' portion to their subscriptions, to the expenses occa f, g sioned by the execution of this article.' " It is somewhat remarkable 'that these reso- tions made their first appearance in the semi-official paper, the Quotidienne of yesterday morning ; and although they did not appear in last night's masager, they were reprinted in the Gazette —a circumstance which must be ascribed to the con. viction of the Ministry that this new Associatior is too powerful to be put down by measures o intimidation similar to those adopted against that which had its origin in Britanny. " M. Berthier, the new Minister in the de partment of the Forests, is not now a member of the Chamber of Deputies. During the ad ministration of M. de Villele he is said to have been dismissed, not because he was opposed to the measures of that Minister, but because he was supposed to be too timid and circumspect ix obeying the dictates of his Ultra-Royalist su perior. During the Martignac Administration he returned to the Council of State, and brought with him the support of the Deputies of the right and left centre. It is believed that the new Ministry will be considerably strengthened by this accession, and by the acceptance of M. de la Ferronays of the Papal Embassy. " It is announced in the Quotidienne of this morning, that Don Miguel has been formally recognized as King of Portugal, by Ferdinand of Spain ; but the Quotidienne does not men tion what is generally believed in Paris, that the price of the recognition is to be paid by an ex pedition, consisting of two frigates and 3,000 men, which are be furnished by the Usurper of Portugal, for the purpose of assisting Spain in the recovery of her Trans-Atlantic Colonies." Extract of a private letter from Mexico, re ceived by a mercantile house in the City, and posted at the North and South American Coffee- house :-- Maxico, Au°. 2.—We have to inform you that offi cial information has been received, to the 3d of August, from Tampico, with an account of an engagement having taken place between about 800 Mexicans and double the number of Spaniards. The Mexicans made the most de termined resistance, and did all that could be hoped or ex pected from great courage and enthusiasm; nearly 300 of the Spaniards were killed and wounded, and only 60 of the Mexicans were killed and wounded. It is believed that about 4,000 Mexican troops must have before this time been engaged. The Mexican reinforcements are on the way from different States, and the greatest confidence prevails that the Spaniards will ♦ery soon be totally dis persed, and that the same will happen to any further sup plies of troops which may arrive from the Havannah ; and which may be reasonably expected from what occurred from former contests of the Spaniards by the Mexicans, from their - perseverance and sacrifices, under greater perils than the present. There has not been the slightest appear ance of the Spaniards gaining adherents. The Conductee, with four hundred thousand dollars, lately arrived at Tampico, is supposed to be safe, and would be sent hack to the place. The persons and property of foreigners have been respected: It is reported that the Emperor of RUSSIA, as a compensation for the great services which General DIEBITSCII has rendered to his coun try, has made him a Duke; and the dignity o r Vice-President of Poland is to be conferred on him. The Grand Duke CONSTANTINE left Brus sels on the 10th inst., for Germany. The most contradictory reports prevail with re spect to the invasion of Mexico—and the arrival of more troops from Spain. It is even said that a fleet of nine sail, with troops from Manila, had arrived on the west coast of Mexico, and had been seen off Acapulco. A letter from Tampico of the 14th of August says two conductas with specie had nearly reached that place, but were ordered back into the interior to prevent their falling into the hands of the Spa niards, notwithstanding the remonstrance of the foreign merchants, whose property they were.

DISASTROUS STORM AT SUNDERLAND (From the Durham Chronicle of Saturday.) • During the night of Tuesday last, and the whole of the following day, the wind blew so tremendously from the north-east, that not fewer than eighteen vessels were , within that short period, stranded upon the coast between Sunderland Pier and Hendon, including a distance of about half a mile, the whole of which have already, o r will shortly, become perfect wrecks. What renders the ca' tastrophe more deplorably calamitous is, that most of these vessels were driven ashore at low water, the most ti nily vourable crisis of the tide, by which they were precipi" tated on the rocky part of the coast, where wreck was in' evitable. It is to be apprehended, that the loss sustained OR other parts of the coast, if not equally extensive, must have been very great. The pier, during the whole 0 ' Wednesday, exhibited a scene of deplorable distress. --• Wives and children were assembled upon it in great num hers, witnessing the appalling scene of their relatives ap parently approaching to certain destruction, piteously dr precating the mercy and interposition of Heaven for their deliverance. One little vessel, a sloop belonging to Mr. Hill, of Monkwearmouth, who, with his son, formed Part of the crew, foundered at a short distance from the pier, under the most heart-rending circumstances. Sh e had left the port the preceding day, with every indi' cation and likelihood of a quick and prosperous va' age. Being driven back again, however, by the vie' fence of this unanticipated change of weather, she at" tempted to enter the harbour; but when she neared the mouth of the river, she was dismasted by a heavy sea, and almost instantly afterwards was thrown stem upwards by 0 tremendous breaker. To this part of the vessel the crew' were lashed, and the most prompt and vigorous efforts were exerted to get out the life-boat to extricate them from 1 0 , perilous a situation ; but the attempt was, after repeated trials, abandoned as impracticable, the violence of the sell rendering the boat unmanageable—snapping the strongest oars like twigs, and thus precluding advance. The vessel, • however, could not maintain so unsteady and precarious # position long. In a few minutes she was engulphed in the waves by one of those periodical breakers which . are k n own' by nautical men to be more than commonly disastrous , when every soul on board perished. The hands of the tin; fortunate sufferers were, for a moment, seen stretcheu helplessly and imploringly above the waves; and the env sciousness of those on shore, that no available assistance could be extended to them, rendered the scene indescribably distressing. Three of the crew (four in all) leave been since found and conveyed to the workhouse, where they will re. main till they are identified. The coast exhibits a melon' ' choly picture of desolation—the shattered remains of yes' eels being scattered all along it—hulls, rigging, moth yards-, &c., in miscellaneous disorder and confusion. Th e four individuals of this vessel are the only lives, belonging to this port, as yet known to he lost on this distressing 0 ' casion ; which is indeed extraordinary, considering the un' common severity of the gale, and the extent of the wrecks. (FURTHER PARTICULARS.) The long-continued Northerly winds had last week . nearly emptied the port of Sunderland of loaded ships.; . but the wind veering round to the Southward, an 1 10 ;• usually large fleet of light colliers, supposed 300 sail, enters': the port on Monday and Tuesday last. About 12, 5001,„e, P . of them large an d va l ua bl e s hip s , were no t p erm itted - take the harbour on Tuesday, and some of them, wh e „: almost within the pier, stood out again, in order to ow' their ballast. The consequence was, that before the rettr of tide, and when riding at anchor unballasted, they we overtaken by a most tremendous gale from the ICrl which drove every one of them ashore. During the nigh; or in the course of next day, no less than 16 were strande d ' most of them total wrecks, within a mile South of al . South Pier. A laden sloop, in attempting to harbour, 01 the afternoon of Wednesday, struck on the South Roci ° ' went down instantaneously, and the crew, four in number!. two of whom were father and eon, perished. We bays heard of no other loss of lives ; but the loss of proper t y thus wantonly thrown away, and which might have be prevented at the expence of a few shillings (by bringing eb b their ballast the preceding tide) is estimated at not mac less than 20,0001. The heavy rains which fell on Tuesday and Wednesday last had the effect of swelling the river Wear to such a n extent, that it ovet flowed its banks to a consider able depth in several places in this neighbourhood. We have not heard of any damage worth noticing having been caused. On the banks of the Tees, however, we under• stand there has been great destruction. The Tyne, toot we hear, was very high ; .but of the effects of the flood in that river we have not received any information. Our correspondent at Barnardcastle says, that the rivet' Tees was swollen to an unsual height. About one o ' c lock on Wednesday morning the street at, the bridge end WAI covered with water, which forced its way into severin dwelling hou.es, from which the inhabitants had to Nl' into the street for sa f e ty, an d some o f t h em narr owly eseaped being drowned. Co ns id era bl e d amage wa s done to the spinning manufactory, and much furniture we! destroyed. The n e w b r id ge th a t was b u ildi ng a t Whor l ' . ton, and was i n a fo rwar d s t a t e , was swept awa y by hav flood ; and it is feared that much damage will have been' done on the low grounds further down the river.
