, 7 • tion was nevertheleta illegal, if . the Onveyance of the slares had not taken place with all the forms prescribed by law. Lord Combermere had km poWer to dispense with the . laws, and even those relating to the revenue had been violated, considering that the slaves were " goods and merchandise,' and ought to have been accompanied by a sufferance. Dr. JENNER remarked, that this question had lib thing to do with the information. The KING'S 'ADVOCATE: then proceeded to point out the distinction between this case and that of " Grace." The return of Grace had been purely voluntary. Great stress had been laid on that cir cumstance. The Judge in the Court below had said that he would not say what might not be the effect of a master holding, out an encouragement to the slave to return. In this case Major Watts fully considered that the manumission was complete, otherwise he had been guilty of a legal fraud, and she slaves had been thereby induced to return. Dr. tU SHINGTON, on the same side, drew the following distinctions between this case and, that of " Grace The latter was the case of a•slave proceeding from Great Britain . to Antigua; this was the case of a slave sent from Gibraltar to Baibadoes and thence to Antigua ; and therefore an importa tion from one colony to another, to which the Slave Trade Acts indubitably applied. 2d. In this case there had been a form of manumission (valid or not) previous to their removal to Barbadoes. 3d. The expoitation of these slaves from Barbadoes to An tigua was compulsory ; whereas the return of Grace had teen free and spontaneous. In regard to the anomaly on the part of the informant, of praying for condemnation of these persons to the King, and other inconsistencies, the Learned Advocate ob served that the whole system of slavery was full of these anomalies and inconsistencies. For instance, slaves were held in the West Indies to be chattels. In respect to property a chattel could have none,' hut in point of fact slaves did possess property in the West Indies, although they had no power of assert ing it by law. The Learned Advocate was proceed ing to point out other, instances, and to comment upon them, when Lord STOWELL requested he would confine him self to the present case. Dr. LUSIIINOTON then entered upon a minute in vestigation of the various statutes, in order to refute the objection as to time. • Lord .STosvELL—Am I to go through all these statutes ? If so, I must have the assistance of Counsel. I cannot pretend to drudge through all these statutes, and to give my opinion upon the con struction of them. I cannot do it. First lam to go into the general system ; then to take a compre hensive view of all the conflicting statutes. I thought this would have been a short case, but I am slow to go.into the question again. Dr..LUSHINOTON conceived that, unpleasant as it was, this course W 39 absolutely necessary. The COURT deferrA bearing the reply till the next Court-day. FUNERAL of the BISHOP of WINCHESTER. WINCHESTER. TUFSDAY, Nov. 20. The funeral of the Bishop of Winchester toot place in our Cathedral at eight o'clock in the morn ing. The body arrived here yesterday, and was de posited for the night at the White Hart Inn. The procession to the church consisted of a hearse-and six, three mourning coaches-and-four; the late pre late's own carriage, and two others, with the accus tomed gloomy retinue of attendants and decorations. The appearance that was presented at the moment the pageant was entering the great western door of the Cathedral was very imposing. The spacious aisle, and the steps leading to the choir, were throngw.l with hundreds of spectators, who pre served a dead silence, while the procession moved up the centre in the following order : A. handsome black plume, and mutes. The Singing-men aud, Choristers, under the direction of Dr. Chard, chantingrhs.tirst sentences of the funeral service, each wearing a black silk scarf. The minor Canons of the Cathedral, in black satin scarfs. Officers of the Cathedral. Two Prebendaries, the Chat-Mellor of the Diocese, and the Dean, all in scarfs of black satin. THE BODY, in a richi;t-gilt Coffin, covered by a plain veliet pall, without any e piscopal or Aber achievements whatever. The three soris of the deceased, as chief mourners. Other mourners and attendants, two and two. The burial-service was read by the Dean, Dr. Rennell, in an impressive and (so far as the hum of the crowd would permit) an audible tone. At the appropriate time the body was conveyed, with the same procession as before, to its last habitation —a new vault near the western cud of the south aisle of the nave. Here an anthem was performed over the remains, and the ceremony was concluded in the usual manner. Throughout the ceremony there was no other token by which to know that It was a Bishop's fut,eral than the arms on his carriage, and the black cloth around his vacant throne. The same bell which has this day tolled fox Bishop Tom line's departure, is now ready to ring a merry peal for hie successor. In Ms Lecture On Saturday, Mr. Wood tool( occasion to relate an amusing anecdote. He was lately coming from Hastings by the coach, when, about ten miles from this place, a well-dressed gentleman got up, and took part in conversation with Mr. WOOD and two other gen tlemen, who were at the moment speaking of the Waverley novels. When the name was mentioned of Sir Weerra Scare, the gentleman inquired who Sir WALTER. was ; " I have heard," said he, "of Sir David SCOTT, wha lives at Brightoi. , and is a very good Magistrate, but I never heard of Sir Walter." Mr. Woon and his com panions with difficulty refrained from laughter, and the gentleman applied himself to a pamphlet which he took from his pocket ; , but in a short time lifted his e CO TT , yes fr b om the book, and exclaimed, I know a Captain S ut I never heard of Sir Walter." —Brighton Paper. DISTRESSING CIRCIJMSTANCE.—III our paper of the 30th ult., we recorded the case of JANET Wit.. Lieereoer, servant to a family in this town, who had been charged, it eppcars, by a neighbouring girl, with abstrac ting 6s. 6d., in silver, and threatened with the usual con sequences of theft—(a crime of which she is believed to have been wholly innocent)---end who disappeared in the reurse of the same day, to the great grief of her relations 'and employer. The poor girl, who had taken the circum stance dreadfully to heart, left her household tasks half onnpleted, and wandered about from morning till night, no one can tell whither. In the course of the day sL was repeatedly seen weeping bitterly, and when asked "what Ailed her," told her humble story with toughing simplicity; an d when further asked "where she was . geiug," uniformly ;answered with a dejected air, "I cannot tell where I am wing." Nu tidings of her were discovered until Tue s d a y last, when Mr. Petsraex, Moat, observed a female bonnet sticking a midst a mass of sand and sludge, at a point of the Nith, on the Troqueer side, pot far from the New Quay, where the river is banked off, and the spot only occasion ally overflowed, during heavy floods exr high spring tides. - This bonnet belorged to JANET Wiereearspeeand her corpse was found in an upright posture, embedded in ti,:espongy soil below. If report may be credited, piercing cries iy, fl e heard at Abe - is-Grove , in th e early part of the evening , but no one came to the sufferer's assistapee, and the sea-bird's scream or the fitful blast, alone answeiel her dying wail. Her remains were decently interred on Thirty, and the feelings of her poor and widowed mother — be feelingc that we re racked by uncertainty fo r weeks—may more reedy conceived than described. We trust that her fate will proves warning to those who are apt to aeeuse others ou slight and insufficient grounds. Not many years ago, a very beautiful girl in this town, who was accused by her mispess of some trifling act of dishonesty _rightfully or 'wrongfully, we do not know—was so transported by pas sion or stung by remise, that she immediately left the house, ran or rather flew to the very centre of the old bridge, mounted the parapet, and in broad day light, and within the view of more than one witness, precipitated I herself into the raging flood below, and was never more seen alive. We observe too, in the Aberdeen Journal, tbi case of an old woman who had been falsely accused of stealing a sack of mea l, and whose mind was so much 'shocked the charg e she lust her reason , and re_ • quired to be-placed underr i lstraint.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. From the Gazette•de France, dated Tuesday, Nov. 20.) ROME, Nov. 6.—The news of the victory of the Christians was received here from Ancona in the r ourse of Saturday night. His Holiness, who on the Sunday morning, St. Charles's-day, celebrated mass in the church of that Saint, communicated the news, ►which he had just received, to the French Ambassador in the church itself. The report will appear to-morrow in the Diario. The joy is universal. (From the Moniteur of Monday, Nov. 18.) PARIS, Nov. 17.—•0n the 11th of November a Prussian Commissioner arrived in the city of Avig- non, and immediately the Prefect and the Com missary of the King proceeded to the house of M. Nlagny, jun., a lithographic printer. Public curiosity was excited by this tct, and when it was known in the evening, and the gates of the city had been closed,' and guarded by the armed force, people asked what might be the reason of such measures; .;ome fancied they were for preventing the circulation of an address to the electors. How great was the general astonishment, when it appeared the next morning, that M. Magny was suspected of having issued forged Prussian Bank-notes; that, in fact, several imperfect imprssions had been found in his house, and one note so perfectly well imitated, that on compa►ing it with the original note, it was im possible to distinguish them. M. Magny, semi., two of his sons, and h►s daughter, were arrested. The father and one of the sons. were immediately set at liberty. The daughter , had attempted to secrete a piece of silk on which was the autograph imitation of a Bank-note. The artist himself was gone on a shooting excursion, and learning in time What was passing at home, has fled. The number and value of the notes issued is not knoWn. Reports, _which seem to be well founded, say that the Prussian Bank recognized as forged the first notes that were' presented, and orders were in consequence given to open all parcels and letters coming from France. By this means, a false Prussian bank-note was found in a letter with the post-mark of Avignon, and signed Magny, on which the Prussian Commissioner immediately proceeded to that city.— Gazette de Tiibunaux . . _ _ Pants, Nov. 19.—The - King has raised Rear Admiral de - Rigny to the rank 'of Vice Admiral. Baron Milius, Capitaine de Vaisseau, has been named Rear-Admiral. The Captains Botherel, de Labretonniere, Morice and Hugon, officers . of the Royal Order of the Legion of Honour, have been named Commanders of the same Order. • Captain Robert, Knight of the Legion of Honour, has been named an officer. Ensign de Vaisseau Dubourdieu has been named Commander of the Company of the Guards of the Admiral's Flag, in the room of Baron de Prigny, de ceased. _ _ . His Majesty has been pleased to order the distri bution of a certain number of decorations, which are to be given among the staff-majors, and crews of the ships commanded by Admiral de Rigny, as soon as the " propositions" announced by the Admiral shall have arrived.. The King, in his benevolent anxiety, has ordered to b - e t 2:en from the chest for Invalids of the Marine special funds, to be appropriated to the immediate relief of the families f those who have found a .? glo rious death in the battle of Navarin. ci,?f-Admiral, in the Sir Edward Codrington , service of his Britannic Majesty, and Count Heyden, Rear-Admiral, in the service of the Emperor of Russia, have been named Grand crosses of the Loyal and Military Order of St. Louis, Captain Fellowes, Commander of the English frigate the Dartmouth, has been named Commander of the Royal Order of the Legion of Honour. The Captains commanding the English and the Russian ships engaged in the battle of Navarin have been named Knights of the Royal mid Military Order of St. Louis. (raWATie cORRESPONnFNCIE.) ODESSA, OCT. 30.—We have news from Con stantinople to the 23d. All is quiet there : but the knowledge of the order sent to Ibrahim Paella, to repel force by force, has .excited new uneasiness.— The Divan, placed between the frightful alternative a accepting or refusing the intervention of the Allies, has had frequent sittings within the last few day's; but it .is understood that in the conferences which the Dragomans have had with the Reis Effendi, he was not disposed yet to think of accept ing a pacification, though he was fully informed of the blockade of Navarin—of the .convention of the 25th of September—of the movements of the army of Bessarabia—and even of an order given to the Russian fleet in the Black Sea, under certain cir cumstances, to blockade the Bosphorus. The Porte is uneasy and intimidated by all these circumstances, which have perhaps produced the condescension remarked in all recent negotiations, save those which had the pacification for their ob ject. The convention relative to the navigation of I the Black Sea is, so far as respects the kingdom of Naples, still more favourable to that state than the convention concluded with Sweden. The Austrian luternuncio, Baron de Millitz, had, on the fr lSth of October, a conference with the Reis nindi, to represent to him the danger which the I Porte by persisting in its refusal of the interventi-Ouid It 4 of t h e . ‘vo t . ; but though the altered tone of the lit-erttun6°bnd caused a great sensa tion, the Reis Effet:!ll said notbi;ig which could en courage an understandin; that it might he deemed possible to accept it. All was tranquil at Smyrna on the 18th of October. (From the Constitutionnel.) THE ELECTIONS. The hopes of yesterday have not been disap pointed. They have perhaps been even exceeded by the event. The eight Constitutional Deputies of Paris have been proclaimed by such majorities as must open the eyes of Ministers, however obstinately closed against the light. (From the Journal des Debuts.) MADRID, Nov. B.—(Private Correspondence.) — The English Legation having insisted on the neces sity of the evacuation of Spain by the French troops, our Minister has answered, that the principal obstacle consisted in the impossibility of paying our debt. On this a fresh note has passed, wherein an energetic demand was made, that measures should be taken for recognizing the loans of the Cortes, particularly the English loans, which preceded those of France. Without prejudging any thing respecting the decision that may be interposed in regard of this matter, it is certain that all titles are collected, and that a general estimate is making of the national property, which might serve as a mortgage for such debt. hus been asserted that the Diplomatic Body has been assembled, to call his Majesty's attention to the delays that have been caused by his absence in the communications betwe.en their Governments, and that they have proposed to the King to join him again at Valencia or at Barcelona, in case his ;otirney was to be protracted. It may be supposed that, e. 4 2; - !sidering the distress of the Treasury, the Ambassadors will be invited to do at their own charge and expense whatever they may think most suitable to the proper execution of their missions. BARCELONA, Nov. 10.—Scaffolds are perma nently erected at Tarragona. The executioners are much hurried; their task must be completed before the King's return. The executions commenced on the ith instant. Colonel Rafividal has been hanged, as well as Lieutenant-Colonel Oliver ; on the Sth, Lientenant,Colonel Laguardia, Don Miguel Beni card de Tortosa, and M. Magin Pallas, a physician of Manresa, have undergone the same fate. This severity will, probably, not prove productive of the end intended ; for, as several of those now executed had made their submission in consequence of the amnesty, this measure will probably inspire distrust in the other repels, who will prefer .hereafter to die swo r d in hand, rather than to perish by the hands of the hangman. The had faith which has been observed to the. officers who have been assembled under the pretence of a review, in order to seize them in . a lump, and to imprison them in a dungeon on the coast of Africa, is no better 'calculated to inspire confidence into the promises of Government to grant indulgence ; and, the persecutions those in the places of the interior are subject to, could easily tempt them to some act of desperation. Several of them have already set out for their homes to augment and swell the rebels. General Count d'Espagna is. commissioned to carry these rigorous measures into effect, and when they are finished; he will - give up his command to Captain-General Louza, the present Commander of Valencia. In she midst of this general stupor, caused by this extreme rigour, preparations are making for fes tivities and rejoicings on account of the arrival of our Sovereign. Whilst culprits are on all sides led to execution, the bull-fighters and picqueurs travel post from Madrid to Valencia, and from thence to Tarragona and Barcelona, to be present at bull-fights.

None had reached the Government Offices up to half-past Three o'clock this afternoon. We received this morning, by Express, from Paris, the French Papers of Tuesday, and the Gazette de France dated yesterday =mina.— They do not contain any intelligence from Con stantinople of so late a date as the arrival of the news of the destruction of the Turkish fleet.— The French Funds have again fallen consider ably. The following are extracts : " Pasts, Nov. 20.—The Vienna Court Gazette of the 10th of Noyember, invites all persons who have any claim on Don Miguel, to apply immediately, as the Prince was about to depart. " The Augsburgh Gazette ha's some accounts from Constantinople to the 25th of October ; all was tranquil. " The Austrian Observer of the 11th of November has a letter from Ancona respecting the late battle, which contains nothing new." • The French minor papers are chiefly filled with articles I relative to the elections. Several of the streets in Paris were yesterday illuminat ed ; the Rue St. Denis was barricaded in several parts, where they fired off petards, and threw stones; pistols and muskets were also fired ; and the troops of the line could not disperse the mob without making use of their arms.

The following are extracts FRANKFORT, Nov. 16.--Accounts from St. Peters burgh, of the 3d of November, say that the news bad been received there, just as the post was on the point of setting out, that the important fortress of Erivan had surrendered to the Russian troops, and that the garrison, consisting of 3,000 men, with Hassan Khan, the Commander, were prisoners of war. Ilan UE, Nov. 19.—The Second Chamber of the States' General received the report of the central section on the project of law extending the loan of 20,000,000 for the colonies to 22,700,000 florins. The Chamber resolved to enter on the discussion of the report on Thursday. Her Majesty's birth-day was celebrated here yesterday as well as the llth auniversai7 of the deliverance of the king- dom from the French yoke. Their Majesties, with the Princess Marianne, the Prince and Princess of Orange, and their two eldest sons, and Prince and Princess Frederick, after attending Divine Service, proceeded to Scheveningen, his Majesty having chosen this day for opening the handsome Pavilion, which he hail built for the Queen on the Downs, near that village. The in- habitants exerteJ themselves in celebrating the happy occa sion, and among them were particularly distinguished the true old fishermen, who in 1795, conveyed the family of the Stadtholder from Scheveningen to England. Hamburgh Papers of the 16th inst., and the Austrian Observer of the 10th, have been re ceived, but their contents are destitute of poli tical news. The destruction of the Josephene steam-boat, near Stockholm, is accompanied with the loss of many valuable articles, besides bank notes to a large amount. The loss of the notes is, however, - considered a lucky chance, for the Swedish Bank, on the principle no doubt that it is " a had wind which blows nobody good." By the same reasoning, it would be a lucky chance for the Bank of Eng land if all its notes were burnt or sunk. slocKHoLm, NOV. 6. The unfortunate destruction of the Josephine steam boat; by fire, is a great loss to the builder and proprietor, Mr. Owen. It does not seem that any body can account for the origin of the fire. A great part of the goods that were on deck were saved, but most of the effects of the passengers, as well as the other goods on board, were destroyed. The greatest sufferer is Baron Von Kjinnheld, Ambassador to the Court of Great Britain, who had come here by the post, and let his servant follow in the steam boat, with a box containing effects to the value of 15,000 or 16,000 rix dollars. It is estimated that bank notes to the value of '7,000 rix dollars, as also bank notes to the amount of 300,000 rix dollars were burnt, which is a lucky chance for our bank, but a check on the circulation. The Crown Prince has had 30 paintings brought from his palace at Bologna, which will shortly be exhibited to the public, in the house of Professor Westin. HAMBURGH, NOV. 14 On the Bth of this month, Mr. Henry H. Wolff, the first Missidnary ever sent out by the Missionary. Society of this city, solemnly took leave, in the presence of a numerous assembly, in the Vestry-room of St. Michael's Church. He has been four years in the Missionary School, at Basle, to qualify himself for his vocation, and is going to Liberia, the North American Colony for free negroes, in Western Africa, south of Sierra Leone. _ _ BERLIN, NOV. 13. The Court has put on mourning for three weeks, fur the late Queen of Saxony. The Grand Duke Michael of Russia left Warsaw, ou the 28th ultimo, to return to St. Petersburgh. FRANKFORT, NOV. 12. Several distinguished families of Greece, which at tie breaking out of the insurrection fled to Germany and Switzerland, are preparing to return to their own country in the spring, in consequence of the favourable prospects held out to them by Count Capo d'lstria. Hamburgh Papers of the 16th of November, contain the French account of the Battle of Navarin. VIENNA, NOV. 9. Since the 10th of August this year, a new journal has been published at Hydra, under the title of the Inde pendent Gazette of Greece. It had but an ephemeral existence, for on the 18th of September, M. Pande li, a Hydriot, the Editor, received the following note from the Primate of the island, which is communicated by the Greek Bee, (a journal in the French language, published at Hydra.) " TO M. PA.NDELI K. PANDII.I, EDITOR OF THE 4 INDE PENDENT GAZETTE OF GREECE.' " The local Government of Hydrainforne you, in conse quence of the commands of the Secretary of State of the Interior and the Police, No. 862, of Sept. 11, that the Government has resolved that the publication of your Journal is henceforth to cease. " THE PRIMATE OF THE ISLAND or HYDRA. " Hydra, Sept. 18, 1827." To this note the Editor. returned an answer, which is also given by the Greek Bee. In this answer he says, that if Greece will still continue under the iron sceptre of the Sultan, be must yield; but, as the order comes- from the Government, whose will 'is nothing, unless founded on the Constitution, he should be unjust to himself, and unworthy of the.narne.ni a, Hydriot, if he renounced one of the 'Host trainable rights will& the Constitution gives to the free Greeks. He qttotes para graphs of the Constitution, which allow all the citizens to found suc h establishments as they think fit, and guaran teeing the liberty of the Press without the Censorship. He asks if he has been guilty of any crime by complaining of the illegal acts of people in power ? He concludes by de claring that be is resolved to bring an action against M. Anastatius'Londo, Secretary of 'State, Minister of the Inte rior and Police, and requires the Primate to give him an authentic copy of the Paper, No. 862, that he may pro ceed accordingly. Accounts received, this morning, at Lloyd's, froth Leghorn, mention a report which was pre valent there, that three ships of the line, and six frigates of the Allied Squadrons, had been sunk by the forts, in attempting to leave the harbour of Navarino. The improbability of such an oc currence—and of the first information of it, if it had taken place, being received, via Leghorn, must be obvious. The naval force was sufficient to have levelled the forts with the ground. A Minunichi Paper of the 19th ult., has been received at the North and South American Coffee-house, from which the following is an ex- SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-CT HIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

One of the chief causes of these fluctuations was contained in a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Leghorn, who writes under date of the 9th inst., that a report was in cir culation there of the combined fleet having been fired at by the forts in coming out of Navarin, and three sail of the , line and six frigates sunk; although is did not gain much credit, it had its effect in the present unsettled state of the British Securities, notwithstanding its being known that letters have arrived this morning of the 7th Nov. from Ancona, much nearer the supposed scene of this disaster, which mention not a word on the subject. There was also a rumour that all the Franks had been destroyed at Patna, and that Ibrahim had given orders to sequestrate the property and shipping be_ longing to all Christians in the Morea, and to throw the crews into slavery. An opinion which has been stated before seems to be gaining some ground, that Government are in possession of information they do not deem it prudent to make known for the present. India Bonds are 81 3, and Exchequer Bills, 52 4 pm. _ _ _ The Foreign Funds have had less attention paid to them this morning, from the interest which the English Securities have excited. Brazilian have fallen to 591 60 ; Danish, to .591 60; Mexican are 53i 4. Peruvian are quoted 38 9. There is a great deal of mystery attending these Bonds, and, from all we have heard, we would recommend a wary eye to be kept on these Securities, if so they can be called.

TIRE IN SOMERSET-PLACE.—At an early hour this morning, as some of the family of Mr. CLIFTON, Secretary to the Victualling Board, were dressing, they dis covered a room in the Legacy Duty Office, opposite to his house to be on fire; an alarm was immediately given to the woman who had charge of the Legacy Duty Office, and some persons having obtained admission ran up to the room from whence the flame and smoke issued, which proved to be the Register-office, the floor of which was burning in several places. Having closed the door the engines belong ing to the building were ,sent for, and a number of per sons being soon collected, the fire was shortly extinguished. The floor was burnt through, and the desks of some of the Clerks, with some loose papers, were destroyed, but for tunately the flames had not extended to the presses in which the valuable registers were locked up. We lament to add, that one of the Westminster firemen fell through the ceil ing and was seriously, we fear, fatally injured.

On Thursday evening, some fellows went into a victualler's shop in the Grassmarket, where they had some whiskey. They bad not been long in the house, until they began to quarrel with each other, and manifested a determination not to pay the reckoning, The landlord, who went in among them to preserve order and obtain pay ment, was much jostled about, but was eventually paid. In a short time after they were gone, however, he made the mortifying discovery that, in the scuffle he had been robbed of his pocket-book, containing nearly ninety _pounds. Three men are in custody on suspicion of having committed this theft, but although there are strong and good grounds to believe they were of the party, it is feared there is a want of legal evidence to convict them. No part of the money has been recovered...--Edinburgh Courant. ;ract MADAWASKA AFFAIRS.-Tly a Gentleman, who ar rived on Monday evening from Fredericktown in the steam boat, we are informed that on Thursday evening, a person called General Baker, an American, was brought from Madawaska, by Edward W. Miller, Esq., High Sheriff of the county of York, and lodged in Fredericktown goal. We understand that the offence he is charged with, and upon which he has been taken into custody, was for stepping the ruail, resisting a peace-officer in the discharge of his duty, and for exciting and stirring-up a spirit of sedition, insurrection, and revolt amongst the people. A few weeks ago, several persons being indignant at the vio lent and very reprehensible conduct of Baker, volun teered their services to go in company with the Sheriff, to apprehend him. After they had proceeded some distance on their journey, and it was fopnd that they were armed, the Attorney-General sent - an express after them, and prevented their proceeding. A few days after this, the Sheriff, unattended by any person, went himself. When arrived within a short distance of Baker's residence, be fell in with some Americans; who guessed his business, and calculating, by his answers to their questions, what his object way, they determined to anticipate him, and took a different route, intendin g to apprize Baker. In this they were disappointed ; the Sheriff arrived at Baker's house before they came up, and apprehended him. With the assistance of some Frenchmen who volunteered their services, Baker was secured, and the next morning they took their departure for Frederiektown. Shortly after their departure, and while they were yet in view, the American flag was hoisted. on the spot by some persons, perhaps by the Ame ricans already mentioned. The Sheriff's loyalty and zeal Was stirred op at seeing this, and he thought of landing to pull it down, lie, however, thought it prudent to desist, and quietly potted his journey, and arrived at Frederick town at the time mentioned: Extract of a letter from Zante, dated Oct. 26 All the Franks found at Patras have been mas sacred by the Turks."
