FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Eteile, dated IVedneaday, Oct. 264 TUIESTE, OCT. 12.—Letters from Zaute of the 20th September, no longer speak of the death of Ibrahim Pacha ; on the contrary, they say that for some days he had been engaged with the Greeks between Nisi and Tripolizza. Three thousand Romeliots, eoming from the environs of Selena, have entered the Morea by the Isthmus of Corinth, to join Demetrius Ypsilante. It is said that the Greeks have made themselves-mas ters of one of the enemy's batteries before Mis sotonghi. In Candia the Turks are confined. to the fortresses, the whole island•being in a state of insurrection. OCT. 13.—The Captain of a vessel which left Alissolonghi on the 25th September, states, as an eye-witness, that Redschid Pacha having received fresh reinforcements, attempted on the 21st Sep tember another attack upon Missolonghi, but was repulsed with the loss of several thousand men. It is said that Noto I.lozzari particularly distin guished himself. MADRID, OCT. 13.—1 t seems that the decree of amnesty, and that for the suppression of the purifications, will not be published . to-morrow (the King's birth-day); and that for the present all that will he done will be to transmit orders to the inspectors of the different arms, to employ in the army, without previous purification, such officers as they shall think worthy of it, from the rank of Sub-Lieutenant to that of Captain inclu sive. This measure had already been adopted with respect to the officers of engineers. As for the final decrees relative as well to the purification as the amnesty, the Consultative Junto has just named a committee of five of its members, which is to propose the basis of those two decrees. An extraordinary meeting of the Council of the Indies, which took place on the evening of the 10th, particularly excited the ptrblic atten tion, as well on account of the late hour at which it took place, as because no one could imagine what business a Council could have to meet which at present does not appear to have any urgent affairs to discuss. We have since learned that it met to dissolve a chapter held by the Order of the Cerdeliers, for the purpose of appointing several dignitaries' to convents in America ; and this because the Ministers are at present engaged in discussing proposals made by the Mexican Government to obtain its indepen dence, which have been transmitted to our Go vernment through India. PAIZIS, OCT. 23.—Two companies now come forward to bid for the Haytian loan—that of Messrs. Andre and Cottier ; Jacques Lefebvre, Mallet freres, and Pellel-Will, whose list hav ing been filled up, has been closed for some days —that of Messrs. Delessert and Co., and Casimir Perrier, which has been obliged to reduce by more than one-third the subscription which it has received. A third company is mentioned—that of Messrs. Jacques, Lafitte, Ardoin, Hubbard, Rothschild, freres, Paravey and Co., Blanc, Collin, and Co., Jonas Hagerrnaan, and Messrs. the Receivers- General, which, not having approved of the mode adopted of the secret tenders, while it desires, nevertheless, the greatest publicity, is said to have accepted the proposal to insure the minimum of the loan on any moderate terms, and offered to concur in the sale, if made by public auction. There is, therefore, every reason to believe that the loan of Hayti will be made on better terms than any of those of the Republics iu the New World, all whose funds, at six per cent., aro at -this momeut above 77 at London.

BRUSSELS PAPERS. FRANIFORT, OCT. 20.—( From a Letter.)--The death of the King of Bavaria is an event of the highest importance to the States of tl.e German Confederation. Under that Prince the vote of Bavaria always had the greatest weight in the Die; next to those of Austria and Prussia, and the States of the second order always experienced from him a salutary protec tion. In the secret alliances which have been contracted, for some years past for the defence of every thing connected with the sovereignty and independence of the secondary Govern ments, Bavaria has always retained the important post which it was called upon to act in the 17th century under the ancient constitution of Germany. The King whom it has just lost was personally allied to the Sovereigns of Austria and Prussia by the marriages of his daughters to the Emperor of Austria and the Crown Prince of Prussia, and to the second of the Emperor of Austria; but it is known that the family ties which unite Princes have, in our times, nothing to do with the political system of the Cabinet. It is believed, therefore, that the King' of Wurtemberg, the Grand Dukes of Baden and Hesse Darmstadt, and several other members of the Con. federation, will he obliged to give fresh instructions to their Ambassadors on the approaching opening of the Diet, respect. ing the questions which may affect the independence of each of their States, because it is feared that Austria and Prussia may take advantage of the death of the King of Bavaria, to form other connexions with the new King. Court de la Ferronayes, Ambassador from France to the Court of Russia, arrived here yesterday from Paris, on his re- turn to St. Petcrsburgh. Bausszns, OCT. 24.—His Majesty has appointed M. Dhousters, of Ostend, to be Consul-General of the Nether lands at Valparaiso, in Chili. Besides this honourable office, M. Dhousters, as we have learned, says an Antwerp paper, has been appointed by the East India Company its agent at the same place ; he embarked yesterday at one o'clock on board of the Netherlands ship the Victor, which is partly freighted by that Co:npany. M. Dhousters, a young man, of 26 years of age, has already made several voyages to Brazil and the Ha vannah, as supercargo, and he will doubtless prove a valuable agent. GHENT OCT. 25.—We have the following afflictiwg news from the Ililder :—On the 20th, the brig William 1., Captain Sucke Ruig, from Davis' Straits, cast anchor off the port, the rough weather and a north-west wind would not let the Captain attempt to enter during the day. Towards evening it blew a storm ; at midnight the safety boat was directed with incredible difficulty along the coast, and the brig was- found to have gone to pieces. The safety boat succeeded, amidst the greatest dan gers, in rescuing 16 of the crew, which amount to 47 per sons. Thirty-one others, including the Captain and three of his sons, have met their death in the most deplorable manner in the waves. INDIA. CAPTURE OF DONABEW AND PROMS. We have the satisfaction of announcing the official . confirmation of the capture of Donabew on the 2d of April last, and of Prome on the 25th of the same month. The Calcutta Govern ment Gazette Extraordinary of the 29th of April contains the following official article : Political Department, Fort William, April 29, 1825. The following Copy of a Dispatch, received this day from Brigadier-General Sir Archibald Campbell, K. C. B. and K.C.T.S., is published for general information : To George Swinton, Esq., Secretary to the Government Secret and Political Department, Fort William. SIR—My Dispatch of the 29th ult. would inform you of my arrival in front of Donabew, as, well as of my motives for hav ing retraced my steps to that place. 1 have now the honour to acquaint you, that the fort and different redoubts fell into our hands this morning, with all the ordnance, stores, depots, &c. having been evacuated and abandoned by the enemy in the course of last night, and it affords me great satisfaction to add, that this important point has been gained with a very trifling loss on our part. I found the fort of Donabew much too extensive to be sur rounded by my small force ; and although fully aware of the great importance of every hour of the declining season of mili tary operations, I preferred the loss of time to the loss of lives, and'resolied to take advantage of our means and science in the redaction of the place. lin consequence ordered some heavy guns and mortars to be brought up, and landed, and with much laborious exertion on the part of all'employed, our mortar and enfilading batteries were opened yesterday, and the breeching batteries had just commenced' their fire at day-light this morn ing, when the enemy's• small rear guard was discovered in full retreat towards the jungle. The place was immediately taken possession of, and in addition to the long list of guns, &c. found on the works, we have taken granaries and depots of grain suf ficient for the consumption of this force for many months ; all the wounded and sick found in the place join with the deserters who have come in in positively assertingthe death of Alaha Bun doolah ; and from the circumstantialmanner in which the story is told by all, I can have no doubt of the fact. He is said to have been killed by a rocket• while going his rounds yesterday morning, and no entreaty of the other Chiefs could prevail upon the already panic-struck garrison to remain longer together. They have flet: through the jungle in the direction of Lamina, and I have reason to hope few of them will again appear arms against us. During the siege the enemy made several bold and desperate sorties on our lines, but were on all occasions quickly repulsed. .1n one of these sorties, a scene at once novel and interesting presented itself in front of both armies. Seven teen large elephants, each carrying a complement of armed men, and supported by a column of infantry, were observe) , moving down towards our right flank ; I directed the bodd guard, under Capt. Sneyd, to charge them, and they acquitte ; themselves most handsomely, mixing boldly with the elephantse they shot their riders off their backs, and finally drove the whold back into the fort. On this occasion I also observed the energy and activity of the Bengal Horse Artillery and Rocket Troop, under Captains Graham and Lumsden, as very conspicuous. The unremitting zeal and activity of Lieutenant-Colonel Hopkinson and Captain Grant, Commanding Officers of Artil lery and Engineers, during a most trying period, merit my pe culiar notice, and their skill and attention in carrying on the ap proaches before this place, reflects upon them the highest credit. Inow beg leave to acknowledge my obligations to Captain Alexander, C. 8., of his Majesty's ship Alligator, senior naval officer, and commanding the flotilla, for his hearty and cordial co-operation on all occasions since we hare served together, and for his very great exertion on the present occasion, in bringing up stores and provisions. Since we have been before Donabew, eleven of the enemy's large class war boats have been captured by our advanced boats, under his own immediate orders ; making with others evacuat ed by their crews, 38 first-rate war boats now in our posses sion : and I have every reason to think that only five of the large squadron the enemy has stationed at this place, hare suc ceeded in escaping. A vast number of other boats of an excellent description have also fallen into our hands. In the course of to-morrow part of my force will be again in motion towards Prome. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient humble Servant, ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL, Brig.-General. Head-quarters, Donabew, April 2,1825. Here follows a general return of killed, wounded, and missing, from the 25th of March to the Ist April, 1825, making in all 8 killed, 60 wounded, and 1 , missing, including Lascars, Coolies, &c. &c. Names of Officers wounded : Madras Artillery—Lieutenant Symes, severely, not danger, Ously. His Majesty's 47th Regiment—Lieutenant John Gordon, severely, not dangerously. The return of ordnance and military stores captured amounts to—Brass guns 28, iron ditto 139, jinja ls 269, iron carronade 1. as a novel and interesting scene. The enemy were alike foiled by land and water, and the two divisions of the army affected their complete junction. The above dispatch states our whole loss, from the 25th of March to the Ist of April, both inclusive, at 8 killed, 60 wounded, and 1 missing. The previous loss sustained by Briga dier-General Cotton's division consisted of Cap tains R. C. Rose and Chas. Cannon of his Majesty's 89th regiment of Foot, killed ; Lieutenants W.J. King, C.G. King, and J. Currie, ditto, wounded ; W.A.F.Derby of the Amherst gun-boat, wounded; rank and file-123 killed, wounded, and missing. Sir A. Campbell, shortly after the date of the above dispatch, resumed his march on Prome, leaving a garrison in Donabew. Colonel Pollock had previously marched from Rangoon with the heavy guns. Brigadier-General M'Creagh, with the Royals, had reached Laien, but was detained there some time for want of carriage, a great num ber of his bullocks having died. At length Prome was captured by Sir Archibald on the 25th of April ; and with it, one hundred and one pieces of ordnance fell into our hands. Nearly one quarter of the town was destroyed by fire. Prince Sarrawuddy, with the remnant of his people, retired direct upon the capital, destroy ing the villages, grain, boats, &c. of every de scription, which lay in the line of his retreat. — A reinforcement of troops, and thirty pieces of cannon, were within a short distance of Prome, when Sir Archibald Campbell took possession of it. These troops dispersed, and the greater part of the guns, together with the war boats, fell into the hands of the flotilla under the com mand of Captain Alexander, R. N. The posi tion of Prome is described as extremely formi dable, the hills by which it surrounded being fortified to their summits. The place, indeed, is by nature, so strong, that, in the opinion of Sir A. Campbell, ten thousand steady soldiers would have defended it against any attack of ten times that force. It gives us unmixed satisfaction to add, that the whole of these services were per formed without a single casualty. ST. SIMON AND JUDE.—Holiday at the Bank,.

A royal salute and three vollies of musquetry to be fired at all the stations of the land forces in the East Indies, in honour of the capture of the enemy's principal fortified position and camp at Donabew, with all their artillery, stores, and the greater part of their war boats, by the combined land and naval forces serving in Ava, under the command of Brigadier-General Sir Archibald Campbell, K.C.8., and Captain Alexander, C.B. on the 2d instant. By command of the Right Hon. the Governor-General in Council. GEORGE SWINTON, Sec. to the Government. It was on the 25th March that Sir ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL reached the vicinity of Donal)Pw, and immediately dispatched Major Jackson with a detachment to open a communication with Briga dier-General Cotton's division. This was effected, but Major Jackson's return was intercepted. In consequence General Cotton determined to force a passage by water. The troops were therefore embarked in boats, and the flotilla was headed by the Powerful cutter, which the Diana steam vessel had taken in tow. They passed within half range of a Burmese battery, by a shot from which Lieutenant Symes was wounded. The Burmese war-boats, twenty-one in number, then sallied forth to attack our little squadron, when the steam-vessel suddenly cast off the Powerful, dashed in among the war-boats, and took or de stroyed thirteen of them. It was on the same day that the enemy's attack with elephants occurred, which Sir Archibald Campbell justly describes THE SUN. sosxm QUIS DICERE FALSUAI AUDEAT LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 28, 182 i. A Supplement to the London Gazette. of Tues day last was published at a very late hour this morning, which precludes us from making such full and copious extracts as we should otherwise have wished. I,t contains the de tails of the Capture of Donabew and Prome, Part of which we had previously extracted from the Calcutta Government Gazette, and printed in another place. We subjoin, however, an account of the capture of Prome by the forces under :he command of Sir ALEXANDER CAMP• DELL, which have been taken from dispatches re ceived at the India House, although not officially transmitted. To-morrow will afford us an oppor tunity of giving further details of these brilliant successes of the British arms. Copy of a Letter from Brigadier-General Sir Archibald Camp bell, K.C.8., to George SiVinton, Esq., Secretary to the Bengal Government, dated Head-quarters, Prorae, MI April, 1825. SIR—On the 24th instant, I arrived with the head of my column in the neighbourhood of Shindam Mew, eight miles from this place, and concerted measures with Captain Alexander, commanding the flotilla, for attacking Prome on the following day. I have, however, the honour to inform you, that the enemy did not await our advance, but retired during the night, apparently in the greatest confusion, and I yesterday morning took possession of the place without firing a shot, the enemy leaving in the different works about 100 pieces of artillery and extensive granaries well filled with grain. The surround ing hills were generally fortified to their very summits, and commanded our advance, presenting a position of a very for midable appearance, and in reality so naturally strong, that ten thousand steady soldiers could have defended it against any at tack of ten times that force. The stockade itself is complete, and great labour must have been bestoWed upon it ; indeed, both in materials and workmanship, it surpasses any thing we have hitherto seen in this country. The town was on fire when we entered it, but whether in tentionally so or by accident I cannot ascertain. One whole quarter has been completely reduced to ashes, and with it, I regret to say, much grain has also perished. The inhabitants are coming in in great numbers, and even Chiefs of towns and villages are now suing for passes of protection. They appear highly delighted in being relieved from a state of oppressive tyranny, that either compelled them to take up arms in a hope less cause, or drove them into the jungles, with their families, to lead a life of wretchedness and want. I have, &c. A. CAMPBELL, Brigadier-General. Return of Ordnance and ➢lilitary Stores captured at Prome, on the 25th April, 1825, by the Force under the Command of Brigadier-General Sir Archibald Campbell, K.C.B. Iron guns, of different sizes, from twelve to one-pounders, 89— brass ditto, 12—total 101. About 1,050 shot of sizes, inclnding 200 English shot, and 500 pounds of lead. C. HOPKINSON, Lieut.-Col. Commanding the Artillery with the Division. The French Papers of Tuesday furnish the few interesting extracts we have printed in a pre ceding column. The funeral of the late King of BAVARIA took place on the 18th instant, and his son, the present KING, who had been absent, was expected at Munich on the following day. It seems that purifications are to go on at Madrid, but under a modified system, as the decree for their suppression was not to be published on the KING'S birth-day. The decree of am nesty has been also delayed. The Consultative Junta has appointed a committee of five to exa mine into and report the basis upon which these decrees should be founded. Rio Papers, to the 20th of August inclusive, received this morning, contain an account of the extraordinary proceeding on the part of a Go vernor of a Province of Brazil, in accepting, on behalf of the EMPEROR, the submission of the Governor of the Spanish Province of Chiquitos, and uniting it to the Brazilian Empire. It ap pears that the Spanish Governor had been called upon by the Peruvian troops, who had taken pos session of the capital, to surrender, which he refus ed to do, and sought the alliance of the neighbour ing frontier province of Brazil, in order to enable himself to hold out against the attacks of the Li beral forces. Brazilian troops were ordered to march to the assistance of Santa Cruz, without the sanction of the Government at Rio. We are gratified, however, to be able to state, that no sooner was this event known to the EMPEROR, than orders were dispatched for the evacuation of Chiquitos, with as little delay and as little mischief to the inhabitants as possible. We trust this affair will not be productive of any fur ther unpleasant consequences. No accounts are given in these Papers of the mission of Sir CnARLES STUART, and thus its real object is still unknown. The Baron de SANTO A MARO, Counsellor of State, and the Ministers for Foreign Affairs and Marine, have been ap pointed to confer with Sir CHARLES on the im portant negotiations now pending. The follow ing are extracts : RIO DE JANEIRO. (From the Diario Flumeriense, July 29.) His Majesty the Emperor has just appointed the Most Illus trious Francisco Villela Barboza, his Councillor of State, Mi nister of the Marine; Barao de Santo Amaro, his Councillor of State, conjointly with his Excellency the Minister for Fo_ reign Affairs, to confer and treat with Sir Charles Stuart, on the important negociations now pending. Aug. 2.—On Saturday, the 31st, there was a 'grand horse race in the meadow of Botafoga, at which their Imperial Ma jesties were pleased to be present. The plain presented an interesting sight, from the number of spectators on horseback, in carriages, and in boats. Among the great number of per sons of distinction were, Sir Charles Stuart,the Conde el Palma, Minister for Foreign Affairs, and many others. This amuse ment, which is new among us, may prove useful, if our coun trymen, while interesting themselves in it, like the English, pay more attention to the breed of horses than they have hitherto done. AUG. 3.—This being the birth-day of her Imperial Highness the Princess Francisca, was observed at Court and in the city with the usual ceremonies. AUGUST 6.—(Orricrar..) His Majesty has received the Dispatch of the Governor of Matto Grosso, of April 15, accompanied by various documents, from which, it appears that the Independent troops of Peru having taken possession of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, and called upon Don D. Sebastian Ramos, Governor of the Province of Chequitos, faithful to the King of Spain, to join the standard of the Liberals, he refused to do so ; and preferred seeking the protection of the Imperial arms, that with this view he sent his Aid-de-camp, D. Jose Maria de Velasco, to the Governor of Matto Grosso, to whom he proposed to unite the province of Chequitos with the Empire of Brazil, a proposal which the Governor of Matto Grosso, by the advice of the Provincial authorities, accepted. Though the Governor perhaps thought by this means better to provide for the defence of the capital of Matto Grosso, and actuated perhaps by an indiscreet zeal, thought to do a service to his Majesty and to the empire by the acquisition of an adjacent territory, in order to support, by this means,the exertions of the Royalists in America; yet, it should have occurred to the Provincial Government, the particular in terest of a nation is not a sufficient or honourable reason for aggrandizing itself at the expence of the fidelity of people, who are led to make such a sacrifice only by calamities, which, however serious, are transitory ; and as, besides, the Government is quite incompetent to make a more practical decision in the questions which divide the Liberals and the Royalists in Spanish America, and should therefore not have so resolved on such measures. His Majesty the Emperor com mands the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs to signify his surprise to the Government at the resolution which it took, not only to accept the union of the province of Chequitos, but to make the Brazilian troops pass the frontier of the Empire to protect it; and the more so, as if his Majesty bad been pre viously consulted, as he ought to have been, he never would have given his consent to this step, as being contrary to the generous and liberal sentiments which guide the policy of his Cabinet, and to his intention of not interfering in the present contest between the inhabitants of Spanish America and the Mother Country, as is conformable to the public law of civi lised nations. LUIZ JOSE DE CARVALHOE MELHO. Palace of Rio de Janeiro, 6th August, 1825. AUGUST 20.—We have received the following important ar ticle from Matto Grosso : " The Government of Chequitos having proposed a conven tion for the temporary union of that Province with the Empire of 13azil, and the Provisional Government not waiting for the meeting of its President and other Deputies,necessary to the le gality of its deliberations, arbitrarily involved itself in matters beyond the limits of its powers; and, violating the laws of the Empire, the law of nations, and the general policy of civilized nations, committed a great absurdity in sending forces to the Provinces to be united. This Government, therefore, being consolidated in its legal plenitude, desiring to repair the effect of this irregular conduct, which might lead to an un just war, and desiring to give to its neighbours a proof of the sentiments which animate it, and the neutrality so repeatedly recommended by its August Sovereign, declares null and of none effect, from this moment, all the conventions made between this Government and that of the Chequitos, as invalid and contrary to our Constitution. It orders, thereore, the illustrious Deputy, commander of the troops, Capt. Manuel Vellezo Ribeiro et Vasconcellos, that, marching with all celerity to the point which in his prudence he shall choose, he shall dispatch the necessary orders fior the evacuation of the above mentioned province, taking the strictest measures that the detachment shall in its retreat observe the most strict discipline, and the most scrupulous disinterestedness. 44 MAN UE L A LvEsDa.
