All the means of conciliation em ployed by General Schneider failed against the ob stinacy of the rebels, who even began hostilities against us, by cha . rging the General and the Captain of Artillery, who had approached to reconnoitre the place; then General Schneider resolved to reduce the Castle by force, and on the night of the 19th he began his works before it. On the 18th, I was in formed, at Nayarit', of the state of things in the Gulf of Lepanto. I reqiiested Admiral Rigny to supply me with means of transporting 1,500 men, and some ships of the line ; and I immediately dis patched, by hind, the division of General Iliv orke tr Admiral Rigny resolving to go himself, I emi;aiked in his ship, with a company of miners, and all the artillery. On the 20th all the troops were on their march; those who went by land had eight different marches to ,accomplish, and great exertions were necessary to secure them supplies during their route. The fleet, the 46th regiment, the artillery, &c. which went by it, arrived in thirty-six hours. • " On the 22d in the evening I was before the castle ; on the 23d in the morning I reconnoitred it and the works erected in the short time. The place is strong and well fortified ; a battery of 14 guns at 250 toises had silenced the greater part of the fire of the castle. Another was preparing at 130 toises ; I ordered it to be removed to within 40 or 50 toises ; it was established, and several others commenced at the same distance. We have com ►nenced regular operations ; and we shall be this evening, the 28tb, at the foot of the ramparts, when I shall open it with 40 guns, of which 22 are batter ing guns; the others are to be employed in destroy ing the angles of the fortifications. The troops have laboured very hard, and they have- displayed the greatest zeal and courage. Ther seamen have as sisted us greatly, and I must particularly mention the zeal of the English Captain Lyons, of theßlonde, who was desirous of assisting our Navy in the reduction of the place, and it was settled that be should send as many men and guns from his ship as were sent from ours ; his people and ours are at the same battery, their guns are placed together, and both parties act like brave and true comrades. Each gun is fired to cries of Vive le Roi.' The Russians are hat Malta, and will regret their absence from the place. Admiral Heyde' has frequently offered me his services. I hope to celebrate the Fete du Roi by the capture of the Castle. " The fever continues to attack a great number of soldiers. I regret to add, that the recovery is slow, and that the rainy season, which is about to com mence, will not be favourable to the re-establishment of health. In particular - the engineers have suffered much, and the losses of their body are out of all proportion greater than any other, which is attributed to the severe labour they have undergone. At pre sent the four companies of sappers do not contain more than 200 men capable of marching." " EFFORE THE CASTLE OF THE MOREA, OCT. 31. "$4 7 --Ll‘ly letter of the 28th, which was de this comes, by etintrary winds, have informed your Excellency 'of 'the state of things; our labours were continued without intermission, with a zeal which cannot be too much praised, and yesterday, the 30th, the breaching batteries being ready, our fire was opened at six o'clock in the morn hig the effect was prompt and terrible; in four hours a hag:: breach was made; the enemy dare not show himself on the wails; and I then caused the fire of the batteries to be suspended, except those of the breach. I would have then ordered an assault, when a flag of truce was displayed ; I declared to the hearer ; who desired to treat for a surrender, that I would grant no capitulation to people who had already violated one—ihat they must surrender at discretion, or I would put them all to the sword before two hours; that I would only give them half-an-hour to open the gates, and come out without arms, They immediately submitted, saying, that finding therriselyep before a Representative of the powerful King of France, they placed themselves in his hands and at his mercy. - Two companies of the -10th and one of the 4th Ag* poszgasion of the gates ' • the delivery of the arms 'anon whigh- were some handsome satires Arid yatagans, grieved the Turfs very rntieh, but I was desirous of punishing them for resistin file Gait}} lotion of Patras, and I was inflexible. I distributed the arms to the Generals, the other officers, and meii of both services. " The frie Potteries were called Charles X., George IV. the DAtivhip, the Duke de Bordeaux, and the Navy. The English, who served four guns, were extremely pleased by our attention in giving pew of the batteries the name of their Sovereign.— We w,e;:p p2iirid to do so by the zeal and fidelity with which they behaved on all occasions. I can not too much praise Lieut . , Luckraft, an old and worthy officer, who commanded thi: battery with ei,ei..tt skill during the whole siege. The bomb wns also of - great service to us, 23 shells having been thrown into ;:;;e fort." The General then 14 - ;is s the exertions of Gen. Schneider, and the - other Generals and officers:— " Our young soldiers (he says) were harnina with eieske to give the assault.

LEGHORN, Nov. 6.—A1l the accounts from Asia agree in stating that great and general alarm is caused by the progress of the Russian arms. The Asiatic Turks do not pay the least regard to the announcement of victories said to have been-gained on the Danube, they think only on the evils which affect themselves. The Government is obliged to employ force to raise troops, most of which dis perse on the road. For this month past no More are sent to Constantinople, but attention is wholly directed to Erzeroum. Rigorous measitres*have been sent from Constanti nople to SMyrna, for the expediting of provisions, especially corn. Large quantities are daily sent to Constantinople from all parts'of Asia. The blockade of the Dardanelles has not yet commenced, but it soon will be,. and extend from the port of Salonichi to the Gulf of Smyrna, the last port excepted. All these accounts are very, disastrous to the com merce of Smyrna. The greatest tranquillity, how -1 ever, prevails in the city.

FRY and CHAPMAN stopped payment this morning. The circumstance has occasioned unusual sensation in the City, but its effect on the Funds was not particularly heavy, being only ago three quarters per cent. Though the failure of this house will cause same embarrass- meat to its country connections, it is not appre hended-to be attended with any serious result to public credit generally. Some people, who see nothing but universal ruin in every trivial circumstance, are busy in propagating the idea that a panic, such as occurred in 1826, is at hand, simply because it is about the same period of the year I As reasonably might they forbode that the Thames will be frozen o'er, and an ox roasted thereon for the gratifi cation of the curious, merely because such a thing happened some winter, sixteen or eighteen years ago. But the good sense of the public will soon make false prophets of these ill-omened birds, though their cry may be still heard, We understand that the banking-house in question had been offered large assistance as late as yesterday by the Society of Friends, of which they are members ; but that it was re fused, because the house found itself soH much embarrassed as to render it impo litic any longer to continue its payißetits, During the panic the ,same house was greatly assisted, and it is now-supposed that it never sufliciz4/ recovered from the shock of that period. It is said in the City that the alarm occasioned for a short time was bco great tlia Ipapy people were eager to reduce their balances at their bankers ? but confidence was soon restored. Nothing can be inpri. m.s. - chievous or indiscreet than fOr commer cial :nen to give currency to the vague rumours of idle g,; - os l ips by acting upon a feeling of that kind.

The Montreal Gazette of the 20th October yveath er for the la s t f ew d ays h as been says, il;,e indicative of win4f, ,cold frosty mornings and evenings. The Papers are up to the 31st, but contain nothing worthy of extract. New York Papers, to the sth inst., have been received by the Canada iu 16 days to Liverpool. Their contents are chiefly occupied with the elec tion of the Pre.sident for the Mexican Union, and the ,forthcoming election of the President for the United l States. It appears, contrary to all expectation, that the choice of the Mexican States has fallen upon PEDP.AZA, though the general feeling was supr ased to be in favour of GUERRERO. PF.DRAZA was the Minister of War. His election is ascribed to the gold and intrigues of the old Spaniards. It is said, in some ofthe Mexican Papers, that General SANTA ANNA had interposed, by force of arms, in favour of GUERRERO'S election, but others make no mention. of such an affair. A North American Gentleman, resident in Mexico, in a letter writ ten three days previously to the election, re marking on the state of the public mind, gives , the following characteristic account of the re spective candidates : " The candidates are Don Vicente Guerrero, to whom they give the title of The Hero of the South,' and Don Cones Pedraza, the present Minister of War, nicknamed The Second Emperor of Mexico.' Guerrero's party is said to be composed of the most violent spirits ; they had no idea of any thing like an opposition in the outset, and spoke of his election with the greatest confidence; but lat terly they have come , out much alarmed, their case being almost desperate, and have came out with the most violent accusations you can think of. The sparring between the Jacksonians and Adams-men is a fool to it, though we, who are abroad and cool, look upon that as scandalous. " I have made particular inquiry respecting the merits and demerits of the two candidates, and have formed and altered my opinion of them as often as I have consulted different persons on the subject. From what I can hear from those who belong to neither party, General Guerrero, the Yorkino candidate, is a patriot who declared himself in favour of independence in its infancy, and who stood in its defence during all its reverses. He is a generous, good-hearted chieftain,' as the word goes witlr you, ' well disposed towards ,strangers of all nations.' So far so good. On the other hand, he is good at "cock-fighting and the gaming table, and if an intrigue is carried on by one with a pretty woman, lie is very lenient towards them ; with these flaws in his character, he has na knowledge of diplo macy, arid not one requisite talent for a President. " Pedraza, the Escoses candidate, is a man totally dif ferent from his competitor. Ile was in office under the Spanish Government, and continued so during the revolu tion, until the declaration of independence. He is a man of talent and firmness, not to be shaken by pretty women or doubloons; a law once passed is sure to be enforced by him. He is not friendly to strangers, but disposed to suffer their residence, knowing that they improve the country. A man of his firm character is calculated to snake himself dreaded by that class of people who form the mass of Guerrero's party. This class, who are averse to order naturally, and now foiled in their hope of getting one from their own ranks into the Presidential chair, are brought to a state of desperation, and have given cause for apprehension, that if Pedraza is elected they will strain every nerve for a revolution. Indeed, they have asserted as much as this in the public prints, by saying, ' Awake Mexicans ! if Pedraza is President, you have either to wear a most servile yoke, or raise another revolution !' This is the present state of the public mind." From the above description, it will be seen that the Mexicans have not much to choose ; but PEDRAZA appears the better fitted for the Presidential Chair by his gravity and firmness— and is, perhaps, more touched with the noble " vice" of ambition than his rival. The great curse of the South American States has been hitherto unfortunately the want of a firm disinterested Patriot, whose character would be a guarantee for the integrity of his actions, while his ability so far transcended that of his rivals as to ensure their respect while it mortified their ambition. Such a man is BOLIVAR, but even he has not been able to pass through the fiery ordeal with out exciting abundant jealousy, notwithstanding his superior talents and acknowledged devotion to his country. In North America party spirit runs very high with respect to the approaching election of Pre sident. According to the National Intelli gencer, ADAMS has already 112 votes, and General JACKSON 70. New York, Virginia, and Illinois, in all 51 votes, are anticipated for ADAMS. North Carolina, and one vote from Maryland, are anticipated for JACKSON, which will give him in all 86 votes. The following is from the Piedniontese Ga zette, of the 13th inst.:— (BY EXPRESS.) NAPLES, NOV. 5.

In the anguish of our heart, submitting to the inscrutable decrees of Di vine Providence, which sends upon us this trial, we ad dress our beloved people. Our grief is that of all our faithful subjects, and the sincere part which they take in it is the only alleviation that we can feel. Paying a just tribute of tears to the imperishable memory of our adored mother, they will join with us in addressing fervent prayers to God, whose mercy manifeits' itself even in his severity, beseeching him to receive in his bosom the angelic soul of her wham we deplore, which here below was the sanctuary of every noble sentiment and of every, virtue, and that he may deign to give strength and confidence to us and to all the members of our afflicted family. Given in our capital of St. Petersburgh, the 24th Oc tober (sth November), in the year of our Lord 1828, and the third of our reign. (Signed) NICHOLAS. ST. PETERSBURGIT, OCT. 26. (Nov. 7.) We announced in our last number the afflicting event which in the night of the 23d snatched her Majesty the Empress Maria Feodorowna from her family and from Russia, We now lay before our readers the following bul letin of the illness of her Imperial Majesty : " her Majesty the:Empres.s Maria Feodorowna, of attzust and glorious memory, experienced on the 12th (24th) Oc tober, at half-past four in the morning, an attack of fever accompanied with cholic and nausea. Is:). the 13th, 14th, 15th, and 16th, the tits of fever continued with more or less intensity, but the use of suitable remedies (luring this time, seconded by the natural crisis of the dis order, had put a stop to them. The disorder sensibly di minished, her . Majesty's sleep and appetite returned, and she was well enough occasionally to leave her bed. Up to the 21st her health was in general in so sati;factory a state that her Majesty might be considered as convalescent. His Imperial Majesty, therefore, thought it of no use to issue bulletins, according to custom, to acquaint the public with the state of her health. But on the 22d of October the physician having observed, in the state of the august patient, a great irritation, a difficulty of speaking, an insensible decay of the memory, the bearing, and the whole organic system, invited his physicians, Dr.. Crichter and Dr. Bluhm, to a consultation. The three physicians all equally fearing that a determination of the blood to the head might produce a paralytic stroke, agreed to bleed her Majesty in the arm ; but the bleeding and other means offered only temporary relief, and could not prevent the paralytic stoke, which put an end to the valuable life of her Imperial Majesty, on the 24th October, at two in the morning. Signed by her Imperial Majesty's Physician, J. DE RUHL. His Imperial Majesty's Physicians, W. CRICHTER. DR. BLUHM. On the day when our troops entered Varna, his Imperial Majesty addressed a gracious reseript to Admiral Greigh, commanding the Black Sea fleet, with the insignia of St. George of the 2d class. His Excellency Count Nessel rode arrived here yesterday evening. His Excellency Lord Heytesbury, the British Ambassador, arrived here this morning from Odessa. Halifax Papers of the 29th October have been received ; the Official Gazette of the 23d con tains the Proclamation of his Excellency for the meeting of the Provincial Legislature for the despatch of business, on, the 21st November. The approaching meeting was looked forward to with much anxiety, as the conduct of the popular branch would then show how far they were sin cere in their professions of moderation, and a desire to adopt conciliatory measures. In our report of the proceedings at the Ca tholic Association will be found a very temperate letter from Mr..IENEAs 111 , DoNwELL, earnestly recommending a feeling of unity and good-will between the Catholics of Ireland and their brethren in humiliation.—the Catholics of Great Britain. If the Catholics wish well to their own cause, they will endeavour to promote a kindly . understanding with each other, no matter what their individual views may be on particular points. In unity consists their strength, and, in fact, their only hope of redress. THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.) CITY, TIVELVE O'CLOcr. At the usual hour of commencing business in the City this morning, the commercial and banking part of the com munity were thrown into the utmost consternation by the announce:nent of the stoppage of a banking-house of con siderable standing ; and it is with unfeigned regret we have now to state it relates to the firm of Messrs. Fry and Chapman, of St. Mildred's-court. These gentlemen they but pos sibly are in have accounts with twenty-five country firms, and it is apprehended that the evil occasioned by this calamity niay will not be injurious be confined urio u t s o t t o be the llo fi u r se ms in witlt whom question, in connection. In the hut ry and confusion which this cit . . curnstance has occasioned, we can only state that Messrs. Fry and Chapman carry with them the strongest feelings of sympathy on the part of a large portion of the commer cial world ; and whatever may be the eventual issue of this disaster, they will have the satisfaction of closing their affairs with a character for integrity and honour unsullied. Messrs. Fly and Chapman were the bankers of several of the new speculations lately set on foot, and had connexions in the northern parts of the kingdom, who, it is hoped, will have bad timely notice to prepare for the shock; hut the injury done is of a very serious nature to public con fidence. In the mean time, we have tale best reason to believe that a number of their friends are fully prepared. Consols closed on Saturday, strong buyers, at 86k; the' opening price this' morning was 86 4 ; they subequently fell to 85,i, and are now 86 and 86 for next time.

A decline has also taken place in Mexican 6 per Cents., at one , Period to 32:k ; at present they are 33 1: the fall in this latter Stock arises from the unsettled state which the Government. appears to be in by the accounts receivetliper the Canada from New York at Liverpool. _ In Shares there is nothing to notice, and prices are nominal.
