GERMAN PAPERS. (Received last niht.) NU REMBURG, SEPT. 10.-7 he Nurcmburg Cor respondent of to-day contains the following article : FRom THE COAST OE THE MEDITERRANEAN, AUG. 27.—According to letters from the Levant, the Porte has lately received several .Memorials, with great complaints of the. conduct of the English. The Captain Pacha and Redschid Pacha sent out word that the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands, anti the principal English Officers in Corfu, Zante, and Cephalonia, shew great partiality in favour of the Greeks, that they send them all kinds of aid, and support their cause in every way possible, to the great prejudice of the Turks ; that the English have supplied Missolonghi with provisions at their own expence ; that several able English Officers had re paired thither to take commands and direct the defence .of the place, &c. The Commander of the Algerine squadron, placed at the disposal of the Porte, has sent in a report, in which he complains of the hostile proceedings" of .the English . towards him, and asks instructions how to behave to them in future. Several Pachas in those islands of the Archipelago, which have hitherto remained faithful to the Porte, gave statements of facts of violence continued by English men-of-Near, under the pre text that their merchantmen had been plundered by the Turks. With respect to Commodore Hamilton, commanding the Eng lish naval-force in the Archipelago, the Porte had been informed that he sheaved himself as a decided enemy to the Mussulmen, that he maintains the most intimate connexion with the insur gent Government at Napoli di Romania:; that he has given to the Greek Admiral at Hydra counsels which are very inju rious to the Turks, Ike.. Lastly, the- Porte has received re cent and positive information of the arrival of English Officers in Greece, and of the actual remittance of large sums of money. Alt these reports are said to have greatly incensed the Sultan, and induced-him to order the sequestration of English property in Turkey, and the arrest of all English subjectsa measure from which his Ministry had great difficulty in per suading him to deaist, by pointing out the momentous conse quences that would ensue from it, and the great injury that it would do to the Porte. Mr. Turner, the English Ambassa dor, is importuned by the Porte with reclaraations, grievances, and complaints of every description, and his answer that he will communicate them to his Government is no longer regard ed. In order to escape all the urgent remonstrances made to him, he adopted the plan of living quite retired, and of with drawing as much as possible from public business. It is gene rally believed in Pera, that if the Greeks shoeld succeed in bringing the present campaign to a happy conclusion, England will formally recognize their independence." CARLSRITHE, SEPT. B.—His Royal Highness the Grand Duke set out yesterday to' pay a visit to his Majesty the King .of Prussia, at Coblentz, andto be present at the grand reviews of the Prussian troops. MoNICH, SEPT. 7.—The two Chambers have held to-day their last eittiag for this Session. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Moniteur of Friday, Sept. 16.) NON-OFFICIAL PART. CONSTANTINOPLE, A uG. 25—News has just been received in this capital of the retreat of the Captain Pacha, whose fleet is said to have been roughly handled by the Greeks, and to have been compelled to abandon the blockade of Missolonghi with the loss of all the boats which he had sent into the logoons.— A nother piece of news is, that the Sphackiotes had again taken p arms against the Turks, but both these reports need cOn- firTnitiOß. Forty Greek vessels are cruizing off the island of Sapienza, waiting for the fleet from Egypt, but it is thought that this fleet will not be able to quit Alexandria before the month of Septem ber. It-was preparing to take on board 6or 7000 Arabs sent by the Pacha of Egypt to Ibrahim. The report of the occupation of Napoli de Malvoisia by the Egyptians, appears to be without foundation. Nothing certain is known respecting the later operations of Ibrahim Padia. ( From the Journal de Paris.) &lanti:D, SEPT. s.—(APrivate Letter. )-I.Th e disarming of the Royalist Volunteers is at present one of the subjects that chiefly engage . the attention of the Government; but as the execution of this measure cannot fail to be accompanied with serious inconveniences, the Minister at War seems to have re solved on a partial disarming, which has already begun to be carried into effect in several email towns and villages of the province of Cuenca and A Icarria. The Police has just discovered at Segovia, a new ramification of the conspiracy of Bessieres. Six Canons of the Chapter of the Metropolitan Church of Segovia have been arrested in con seauenee of this discovery. The Governor of Tortosa, a great partizan of the Apostolic, has been deprived of his place. M. Caperon, Ex-President of the Permanent Military COlN mission at Madrid, has been arrested by order of the Police, on his way to 13adajoz, which place had been assigned him as his residence, by the Minister of War. The Constitionnel gives at length, a note communicated by the Greek Committee at Paris, relative to its operations. It .appears that receipts, up to this time, amount to 120,000 francs, the expences to 96,200 francs ; 1 1 4,800 francs. In a note, the Editor says—" We received this evening a letter from Napoli di Romania, containing a protest of General Roche, Deputy from the Greek Committee at Paris, and of Mr. rashington, Deputy from the Committee in the United States, against the step taken to obtain the protection of Eng land. As the dispatches of General Roche seem to have been delayed or intercepted, we shall wait for further. information, before-ere publish the paper addressed to us." Friday, the 16th of September, being the Anniversary of the Death of King Louis 18th, was observed as a holiday, and con sequently no price of stocks was published. The printing-offices being shut, the Journals were not to ap pear on Saturday. The Courier Francais of Friday prints the Constitutional Charter " as the mast disinterested tribute of respect to the late King, and, at tl:e state time, the most noble, and most worthy -of him." (From the Pilot of Friday.) We read the following in a Brussels Journal :—lt ap pears certain that a loan of 200 millions of francs has been concluded with the house of Rothschild, and negotiated at 60 per cent. which reduces the sum to 120 millions. there will be given to France 64 millions, and to England 60 millions. It is stated, that when 10,000 men shall be assembled at the camp of Bayonne, they will proceed to Madrid. Eight Free masons have been executed at Granada. MADRID, SEPT. s.—(Private Correspondence.)—lt is still reported here that the French troops will re-enter Spain ; also, that the garrison of Pampeluna will be immediately reinforced. EXECUTION ,of WELCH for MURDER. This morning this wretched criminal paid the forfeit of his life for the atrocious murder of vrhich he was con victed. Since his conviction he had preserved the same indif ference of demeanour which marked his conduct on being con demned, and although lie admitted to the fullest extent having committed the murder by beating the unfortunate woman with the back of a large brush on the head, he did not express that kind of contrition which such an appalling act would call for. The Rev. Mr. DEVEREUK, a Roman Catholic Clergyman, attended the unhappy man, and succeeded partially in draw ing his attention to the nature of that awful transition which he so soon was to make, and led him to the full acknowledgment of his guilt. The wretched man knew but few sentences of the Eng lish language, and his prayers were uttered in Irish and with peculiar fervour of manner and gesture. Ha during Sanday was very indifferent, and talked with great composure about his impending fate. lie slept several hours during the night and eat a very hearty breakfast about six o'clock this morning. At half-past seven o'clock the Sheriff and their officers arrived at the prison, and waited in a small apartment within the interior lobby for a few minutes, when the unfortunate man was brought front his cell accompanied by the Rev. Mr. Devereux and the Rev. Mr. Cotton ; he appeared very indifferent, and looked carelessly about while the officers were pinioning his arms; on this operation being concluded he turned round quickly towards Mr. Sheriff BROWN, and in a sharp tone said, " I have told that wornan, Mrs. Corkerey, to call for my clothes, let her have them as I have ordered; God knows, bad as they are, they will do for some poor man." The Sheriff begged him ao turn Iris thoughts to eternity, and as the clock was striking eight I the officers approached, and taking the criminal by the arms, were about conducting hint to the scaffhld, when he again-spoke, saying, " Will you, if you please, let me say one prayer." The Sheriff answered certainly, and the guilty man retired, and, kaeeling down, prayed for some moments with much fervor ; . then rising, he said " I am prepared in the name of Gbd." He then walked tirmly without the slightest appear ance of fear or dismay, and steadily took, up his po sition under the fatal • beam. ' the preparations 4f the executioner were, soon, conipleateti, and, he retired from the -scaffold. The Rei, Mr. CoTToa then read the prayers for the dying, and;givingthe.signal the drop fell, and the wretched man was left suspended in the air.. He struggled violently for some minutes, but the hangfrian having caught his legs, soon -terminated his earthly sufferings.' 'After .hanging the usual ..time his body was cut down, and will be dissected at Saint aiSartirolnanew's.,HospitaL DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT PORTSMOUTH. The following details of the Inmentabla acci dent which occurred at Portsmouth on 'Wednesday, are extract ed from the Hampshire Telegraph. A Coroner's Inquest bad sat on the bodies of fifteen persons who had perished, and had returned a verdict of " Accidental Death." " On Wednesday last, at twelve minutes past twelve, his Ma jesty's ship Princess Charlotte, intended to carry 110 guns (the largest ship ever built here), was launched at this Dock-yard, in the presence of an immense concourse of spectators, who saw this stupendous fabric majestically glide into that element in which she was destined to float, in the perfectness of combined superior skill and science. His Royal Highness the Prince Leopold came from Claremont, attended by Sir Robert Gardner and General Wetherell, purposely to witness the launch of the ship named after his late lamented consort. But it is with the deepest sorrow we state, that whilst this event was passing in view cif tens of thousands of persons, with all the interest and admiring feelings which so magnificent a. spectacle must eye produce, the appalled attention of a vast number of persons was arrested, in their way te the sight, by a more afflicting and ter rific accident than a long course of past eventful years of war produced here, and which took place about ten minutes before the ship went off the slip. Our readers, perhaps, are not ge nerally aware, that over the gates of every Dock, in this Dock yard, and connected therewith by iron stancheons, is thrown a light bridge or brow, of four planks.width, for the general con venience of passing to and fro, and shortening the distance to various parts of the yard. In tho short .passage from the entrance of the Dock-yard to the slip on which the Princess Charlotte was built, are three of these bridges each about seventy feet long. Connected with the first bridge is a cape. cious basin, into which it was intended the Princess Char lotte, on being launched, should be floated, preparatory to being taken into what is called the angular dock, to be coppered.— An increased quantity of water had been let into the basin Ibr the purpose. At the hour of 12 o'clock, this bridge was crowded with persons pacing over it to view the launch, when the weight of the water in the basin; find probably agitated by the motion kept up on the bridge, pressed so ponderously against the dock gates, that they broke intopieces, and in au instant the dock was filled by a tremendous rush of water from the basin, carrying along, in its resistless course, the gates in fragments, bridge rails, work stages, and all the passengers on the bridge, ex, cepting such only as were within a few feet of the extremities. How many persons were on the bridge, and thus were suddenly precipitated into the dock, is not known : it is hoped their num ber did not exceed thirty. The terrific rush of water towards the bridge and dock-head, throwing up the bodies of the unfor tunate sufferers, intermingled with all the destructive mass of agitated fragments to a height of several feet above the masonry work, and its revulsion towards the basin, was a sight so dread fully appalling, that almost every spectator shrinks from the task.of minutely describing it. We have, however, prevailed on one intelligent gentleman of this place, who was, with nine other surveyors, from London, within twenty yards of the fatal spot, and in half a minute would have been upon it, to endeavour , to describe the scene. He says--I was within 20 yards of the bridge when I heard a scream, and looked towards the bridge ; it had the appearance of an inverted arch, and I distinctly saw several persons run off at both ends, I should think from fifteen to twenty. In a moment a dreadful crack was heard, and an ' other scream from the persons precipitated into the water; at the same instant a tremendous rush of water issued into the dock, which was impelled with a rapidity not to be conceived of but by those who saw it, forming a stupendous wave, bear ing on its surface many of the struggling sufferers, mingled with large fragments of broken timber, all which was dashed with inconceivable fury against the other end of the dock, and which, from its impetuosity, again rebounded in a curling wave, - whose height was at least 10 or 12 feet abpve the level of the yard carrying in the tremendous conflict the bodies of the sufferers, large pieces of timber, cloaks, hats, and clothes of the unfortu nate victims, and again rushed back to fill the hollow which had been created in the surface by its own velocity. 4 Oh ! my God ! my God !' was the exclamation of the beholder, and a momentary stupor took possesion of the mind, which was affected by the con viction that the unfortunate victims must, in that instant, have been clashed to inevitable death against the stone-work of the basin. The silence was but for a moment ; for immediately af terwards appeared in different parts of the basin the bodies of the sufferers, some in the agonies of death, others in a state of insensibility, and one or two apparently not much injured, but still exposed not only to the horrors of drowning, but to those of coming in contact with the pieces of scattered tim ber which the agitated uproar of the water was dashing one against the other. Persons on the banks stripped their coats and hats, and were about to plunge in to rescue such as were near the brink ; but for some minutes, until the agitated surface of the water was stilled, it would have been perfect madness; and those minutes were. fatal to several. There was one person, apparently an interesting female, with short dark hair, and apparently a purple pelisse, who was un commonly buoyant. I said to her, "Take hold of that piece of timber, and it will save your life." She he heard me, and clasped in her hand a mere chip. Some one threw an umbrella to her, but she was too far gone to reach it.— I rushed to the other end of the basin, and urged a boat to come, and they wanted no persuasion. As it passed the wharf I jumped into it, and pointed out the spot where I had one moment before left this female. She was gone, but we had the satisfaction to save an old man, who was lifted ashore; and again we proceeded in the work of mercy. The female rose again, I think from the buoyancy of her clothes, and was res cued by the intrepidity of two individuals, whose names de serve to be recorded amongst the most valuable members of society. One was a Lieutenant in the Navy, and the other a young man in coloured clothes, who I have ascertained is a tailor of the name of Seagrove. The Lieutenant (Purvis), with a coolness peculiar to his profession, jumped into the water and got hold of this female, who was still sufficiently conscious to lay hold of him, and to hold with a firm grasp, and it seemed extremely doubtful whether or not both would not hare sunk together. He kept her off from him, but still sup ported her for a long time, when Seagrove jumped into the basin to his rescue, and effected the safety of both, by conveying a rope across a piece of timber, and all were brought to shore; and the female, I understand, was re stored. I have heard her name, but I will not give it, lest it should be mistaken. Whoever she is, she owes her life to these two ; and it is difficult to say which is most deserving of praise. Two sailors also exerted themselves in this work of humanity with the greatest intrepidity and perseverance. I do not know how many they were instrumental in saving, for at this moment I left the scene in search of drags, or a net, but the stores were all locked up, and the men assisting at the launch, and it was some time before any thing of the kind could be procured-- They were at length obtained, and every exertion which could be made was made to recover the bodies of the sufferers. In the bitterness of my mind, I then went in fear and trembling in, search of my own family, eight of whom I had reason to believe must have been near the spot at the moment of tore disaster, and one of whom had crossed the bridge a minute before. It was near three quarters of an hour before I found them, and never shall -I forget the anguish of that hour. After the momentary violence of the water had ceased, exer tions were made by every person on the spot to rescue the suf ferers; but when it is considered that not less than 500 tons of fluid fell instantaneously into the dock, sweeping away, in its immense impetuosity, all that before opposed its course, some slight idea may be formed of the magnitude of the danger in which the unhappy sufferers were engulphed, and the surprise excited that any survived the catastrophe. By the most perse vering activity the bodies of 7 dead persons were taken to the Dock-yard Surgery in less than half an hour, and six persons were conveyed there who had been rescued from tire dock witu bruises only. Mr. Cowan, Surgeon of the Dock-yard, and Dr. - T. Cooke Jones, late assistant (recently appointed chief of the profession at Bermuda Yard), were soon on the spot, to afford assistance to the sufferers, and they were speedily assisted by tile most strenuous efforts of most of the profesional gentlemen of the town. But such' was the nature of the dreadful accident, that not one of the inanimate persons presented the least ap pearance of mere suspended animation, but they all had evidently been killed by violent bruises, from concussion among the wreck of the dock gates, or against the sides of the dock. Every exertion has since been unceasingly made to discover the bodies of other sufferers, and in the course of the night eight more were grappled up; and on the following afternoon the body of Mr. Deering, Midshipman of his Majesty's ship Victory, was dis covered, having floated out of the dock into the basin. The water in the basin has been considerably reduced, and the means of discovery constantly used, but there is yet no reason to suppose that any other person has suffered. Disastrous, melancholy, and affecting as this calamity is— harrowing to the feelin gs , an d exc i t i ng t h e k eenes t sens ibility of the hearts of parents, relatives, friends, and neighbours, and the deepest sympathy of ten s . o f thousands of persons who left their distant homes, in the morning of the day with far different feel ings ; yet, it must be gratefully acknowledged that, under all the circumstances, as an afflicting Providential occursence, it has been attended with a smaller comparative portion of human woe than any could venture to hope. Had the accident occurred in the working hours of any one day in the preceding week, not less than three hundred human beings would, mast likely, have been the victims, and upwards of 1,000 children (it is accurately ascertained) have been fatherless. More than tfla number of men were at work in the dock. Had it occurred an hour sooner than it did, nearly 100 workmen would have pro. bably perished. They had happily completed their work in getting the dock ready, and had gone to be spectators of the launch. The extent of the calamity is, five men, six boys, four girls, and one child, drowned. .Tne names of..the sufferers are as follow,: 1. John Stanfiel, a Custom-house officer at Portsmouth, locker at the Victualling Office, aged 49, leaving three orphans. 2. Robert showers, 6ia, wood-merchant, Rosemary-lane, Portsea. 3. Latarus Hart, 49, shopi:eeper, Oyster street, Portsmouth. 4. Sophia Hart, 23, daughter of the above. 5. Gabrial Nathan, 7, Hart's nephew. 6. William Bridle, 48, servant to Mrs. Admiral Osborn, Broomfield. 7.- John Leal, 14, Pud's-lane, Portsea. - 8.. J ohn llawes, 12, Son thampton.row, Portsea. 9. Elias Taylor, 15, son of J. Taylor, painter, Wiltshire street • 10. John Hewitt, 12, Mary-la-bonne -street, Portsea. 11. John Ninehani, 12, Green-row, Portsea. 12. Sarah Knight, 16, servant to Mrs. Mason, Queen-street, Portsea.. 13. Ann Knight, 14, servant to Mrs. Bull, Margery's-court, Portsea. 14. George Bull, 2, son of the above Mrs. B. 15. Jenmna Fioggett, 15, Green's,fields, Hyde Park-corner. Portsea. 16. Thomas Deering, 23, master's mate of his 7.llajesty's ship Victory, nephew of the gallant Colonel Deering, and whose mother and two sisters live at Jersey. It will be asked, what was the immediate cause of the dis aster, and was anylone to blame for not having taken the nec•_s sary precautions ? It is most satisfactory to say that no blame -can possibly attach to any one ; the accident is attributable to existing circumstances, which either could not be foreseen, or at least could not be prevented. The construction of the gates is 'certainly vastly inferior to those now building, and to the con struction the catastrophe is, partly - owing ; 'but, speaking as an engineer, 44 I should say (says a Correspondent), the defect was more in the workipanship than in the original design ; the plank is fastened to the uprights by large wooden pins,both sufficiently substantial, and much leas decayed than could have been ex pected, certainly not enough to beveled taany ill consequences; but the pins were too large and too numerous, and left the wood so weakened, that it wax unequal to the pressure, and it gave way at the pin-holes. In addition to this, from the relative situations of the moon and the earth, the tide was much higher! than • usual, at least 12 to 18 inches; and' it is probable, too, that this, was partly occasioned `by the situation of the Queen Charlotte, which, I think, directed several inches of water into the basin, more than would otherwise have flowed into it.— The pressure of the water. on the gates was equal to a - weight 1 of about 520 tons ; and all there circumstances together contri buted to create an equilibrium between the pressure of the water and the -strength of the gates. Several circumstances, though of a' minute kind, would contribute to produce this i effect : of this kind would be the concussion of the guns, and any increased action of the water. The weight of persons on the bridge, supposing them even fifty, might be equal to a , perpendicular pressure of a f e w t ons , a nd, u s th e p ressure was inward, if this weight acted in the same character, would contribute to produce the result. I do not 'think the weight of fifty persons scattered over that bridge wbuld have broken it ; I think when the gates gave way, the stays which were fastened to the bridge and the gates, to keep the bridge from swagging,' as it is called, dragged the bridge after them; and those who were on it, into the waters." The 'gates of the Dock were built on the plan of the late General Bentham, who also constructed those of the Dock in which the Hibernia now lies, which, on being examined, were '3)und defective, four of the principals being sprung. There is no doubt that a most', minute survey will be made into the state of the other gates, and probably it will be thought a hint worthy of attention, that there should be an annual examination into the state of them. The bridges too should be erected independently of the gates altogether, and which may be made as ornamental as they would be safe and useful. Since the preceding account of the melancholy disaster was written, we have received the following authentic account for insertion : 44 To the PRIXTERS of the HAMPSUIIZE TZLEtRAPH. " As it is not improbable that erroneous statements of the fatal accident which occurred upon the day on which the Prin cess Charlotte was launched from the dock-yard at this port, may obtain currency, it will no doubt be satisfactory to the public to receive an authenticated account from me of this melancholy event. On Wednesday last, the day of the launch, the tide rose so rapidly and to so unusual a height that the ship was obliged to be launched sooner than was anticipated ; the same great rise of water occasicned such a powerful pressure against the gates of the South East Dock in the Basin as to cause them to burst inwards, and to carry with impetuous violence into the empty dock, the bridge which rested upon the gates, and, with the bridge, the persons who were unfortunately passing over it at the time on their way to see the launch. The torrent of water which rushed into the vacant dock below, over whelmed the unhappy individuals, and I grieve to say, that notwithstanding the active and prompt exertions of those who beheld the dreadful catastrophe, and of the boats which immediately hastened to the spot, but few persons were rescued from their perilous situations. The proper means were immediately resorted to for the recovery of those who were picked up, in which the surgeons of the dock yard were most humanely and ably assisted by the medical gentlemen of the place. it he following is the list of those who were restored to life, and of those who are known to have perished :,-- RESTORED TO LarE.—Mr. Sabben St. George's-square, Portsea ; Mrs. Bloomfield (a soldier's wife), the infant of ditto, the sister of ditto; Sirs. Mitchell, of Charlotte's-row, and the (laughter of ditto ; a boy, name unknown. DROWNED-Mr. Deering, a midshipman of the Victory ; Mr. Stanfield, Custom-house officer (has left three children) ; Mr. Showers, a dealer in chips; Mr. Hart, a slopseller, Ports mouth; the daughter of do., aged 16, and nephew a( do. aged seven; a man servant of Mrs. Osborne, of Broomfizld-house. Young women—Frogett, aged 20, daughter of a labourer; Knight, 18, Do. 14, daughters of a sawyer. Boys—Bull, 2 ; Taylor, 15, painter's apprentice ; Hewitt, 14, father a wheel wright; Nineham, 14, father a shipwright; Leal, 12, mother a widow with seven children ; Hawe, 13, father a shipwright " Every exertion has been made to find the bodies of other sufferers, and every endeavour to ascertain what persons are missing. From the best information I have been able to ob tain, it appears that there may be still five or six bodies not found, but this is as yet uncertain. The list already given tells a melancholy tale, but it is consolatory to my ()sin feelings, as it will be to the relatives of the sufferers, and satisfaCtory to the public generally, that no human foresight could have averte - ,1 the dreadful calamity, and that it was entirely unconnected with the preparations made for the launch ; and further, that it happened ata time when most providentially no persons were employed at work in the Dock, for had thwc been the case, the disaster, severe as it it, would have been tenfold greater. " GEO. GREY, Commissioner. " Portsmouth Dock-yard, Sept. 17, 1825." ROYAL NAVY, &c. PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 17.--This morning the Ganges, Captain : loyd (a free trader), passed by for the giver, land ing several passengers here, from Madras and the Mauritius. She left Madras on the 27th Of March. The Portland was to sail from Madras, for England, on'the Ist of May. When she left the Mauritius, the surveying . ships Leven, Captain W. F. Owen, Barraconta, Captain Vidal, and the Albatross schooner, were at the Seychelles; they . had investigated the dangers of the East Coast of Africa, and were about to complete a survey of the whole island of Madagascar; after wards they would refit at the Mauritius . , and proceed to exa mine the coast to the westward of the Cape of Good Hope. Sir Lowry-Cole, the esteemed Governor, and the troops. at the Mauritius, were all well. The. Ganges left at St. Helena, the Florentia, which had l ost h er b ows pint off the Cape, in lat. 8. N., and spoke the Java, from London to Calcutta all well, with troops on board. Commodore Schrunedar, late Governor of Tranquebar, on his way to Copenhagen, and Lieut.

She -brings accounts from Port Royal to the 4th of Aug., when the troops had become very sickly, particularly the 50th and 77th Regiments.— The Lively frigate, Captain W.

Extracts from the French and German Papers will be found in a preceding column. By these paragraphs it will be seen, that the Turkish Go vernment has lately received several memorials with great complaints against the English Go ♦ernment for the assistance rendered to the Greeks by British subjects. This alleged disre gard of the principles of neutrality between the belligerent Powers has, it seems, excited the anger of the SULTAN, who would have sequestered the property, and arrested the persons' of English subjects, but for the more cool and tempe rate counsels of his Ministers. Mr. TURNER, the English Ambassador at Constantinople, was so importuned by the Porte on this account that he was compelled to withdraw as much as pos. Bible from public business. The rumour of the capture of Napoli de Mato. voisa by IBRAHIM is contradicted in the llfoniteur of. Friday last, and the raising of the siege of Missolonghi is spoken of as even yet requiring confirmation. Of the operations of IBRAHIM in the Mores, nothing certain is known. The Constitutionnel. has received a copy of the Protest of General Rocitz and Mr. WASHING. TON, the Deputies from the Greek Committees in Paris and the United States, against the resolu. tion of the Greek Government to place their country under the protection of England. We really should wish to know how these Gentle men are interested in Greece to authorise them thus to intermeddle in its counsels. Lisbon Gazettes to the 10th of September ar rived here this day, together with Brussels and Harnburgh Papers, the first to the 17th and the latter to_ the 13th September.

The report referred to we gave as it reached us, and without in any degree meaning to warrant its truth, or imagining for a moment we should be so severely rebuked fo.r. giving publicity to an "O n dit," w hi c h we d iet not credit. Were we so disposed, however, vtei could easily defend th e p aragrap h on t h e score probability,on the ground of the very disagreem ent the Paper in question refers to as existing in the Cabinet, and thwarting Mr. CA N NING'S vie ws ' and the even no w un d ec id e d po i nt, whether 1-,nr. liament will or will not be dissolved this antom n ; But that is unnecessary, for if we had considered there was any thing like truth in this statemen t it is not probable we should have passed over s° important an event in the brief manner we did. The editor of th e p aper i n quest i on has no t more respect for the talents Mr. CANNING Un doubtedly possesses than ourselves, and INns t assuredly no person can entertain greater admira tion than we do for the wisdom, firmness, and truly British f ee li ng w hi c h t h e f ore i gn policy of the Right Hon. Gentleman has at all times dis played. The benefits resulting front this policy are obvious, and so truly grateful are we f a them, that we should contemplate the resignatiou of Mr. CANNING as a public calamity of t he severest nature, and only to be heightened by th e fact, that that resignation was rendered necessary by the state of his health. \ New York Papers to the 27th August arrived Chis morning. The news from the Brazils ea" responds with that given in our Paper of Sato''' day last from the Diario Mercantil, relative to the successes of the insurgents and the retreat of the Brazilian troops into Monte Video. These Papers have extracts from the Lima Gazelles to 17th March. By them we learn that the Congress of Peru was dissolved on the 1 0 t h March. A Law had been passed, authorising the Liberator to assist Colombia with troops, vessels, and every necessary succour ; and also anothe r Law, authorising the advance of the United Army, at the discretion of the Liberator,. to of point from whence Peru might be threatened. with invasion. It also appears that the restrictions which under the third article of Provincial Regulatio n ! of Commerce, of the 28th April, 1821, operat e 'l to the prejudice of . foreigners, have been removed by a decree of BOLIVAR annulling the same. General Bor.' VA 12 had set out for the province. of Upper Peru, having organized a Counc il of Government. The constituent Congress Ge' neral of the provinces of Rio de la Plata hav e sanctioned the Military Law, relative to the creation of a national army; it is to consist . of one battalion of artillery, and four bat" talions of infantry; each battalion of six comPa' nies of one hundred men each. Jamaica Papers tothe 31st July are arrive', but they contain nothing of importance ; and th ' Colombian Papers to 21st July, are equally yo u of interest. • Charles pO l E andßSE u r a T dy . 1 14 8, 4n 1 g 8 , 211 a .— nd T m he an S y ov o e ti r i e e i r gn pa S ss t e es n : o.
