FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCK PAPERS. (Prom the Gazette de France, dated Monday, Sept. 10.) P A RIS, SEPT.' 9.—His Majesty's ships Trident, Breslau, and Provence, sailed on the Isth of August from Algiers for Milo. The Scipio, destined for the same place, was on the 19th of August between Sicily and Melta. The French squadron was to be at Milo on the 25th of August at the latest. The English squadron was already in those seas. The Russian squadron has been seen passing the Strait. We may calculate that the naval forces of the three Powers would be assembled and ready to act in the Levant at the 'beginning of this month. We already know that an intimation has been made to the Pacha of Egypt, that they would not suffer any more reinforcements to pass which he may wish to send to Greece; and that Russia, on its side, had signified to the Porte, that the least thing that should happen to .the Ambassadors or subjects of the three Powers at Constantinople, would be the signal for the entrance of the Russian army into the Ottoman territory. A Russian fleet is before the Bosphorus in the Black Sea. MADRID, SEPT. I.—The Council of State has terminated its deliberations on the general budget of the kingdom, after having recognized the impossibi lity of reducing the expenditure to a level with the receipts, which the Minister of Finance declared he could not raise to a greater sum than 450,000,000 of reels per annum. The Council has proposed to the King, in a con sultation held yesterday, to leave to each of the Mi nisters the care of making all possible reductions and I,avings in his department. Major-General Monet, who commanded the mi litary line of Old Castile, on the frontiers of Portugal, has just been appointed General-in-Chief of the forces sent against the rebels. He arrived yesterday at Madrid, from 'Zamora, after passing some hours at St. Ildefonso. The number of the insurgents continues to in crease in Catalonia.. The Royalist volunteers and the former officers of the Army of the Faith come from all quarters to increase their numbers. Among the latter are several who were pardoned inlay last, after taking part of the first troubles. Eight of their chiefs, it is said, already wear the distinctive badges of General Officers. The Guerillas become more numerous about Girona, Valencia, and even Figueras. In the kingdom of Valencia a band of malefactors appeared at the Chartreuse of Portaceli, and exacted provisions, and a contribution in money. There is no indication that this band has any political object, though it has already appeared at several places.— The whole country, however , is i n a s t a t e o f fer mentation. The authorities of Galicia have received fnom the Provisional Governor of the Council of Castile no tice, that the revolutionists assembled at Lisbon and Gibraltar, to the number of 370, intended to attempt an e xpedition on the coast of Cantabria ; that they would embark on board six Colombian cruisers, which would show as occasion required, with either French or English colours. In consequence, mea sures of precaution had been taken at Corunna, and al: along the coast of Galicia. It seems that similar notice had been sent to Catalonia, In general but little credit is given to this plan of invasion. Some robberies by armed men have been com mitted within these few days in the environs of St. Ildefonso. (From the Conetitutionnel.) CEPHALONIA, AUG. 9.—The number of Turkish vessels which are stationed on the western side of the Peloponnesus, including those of Egypt, amounts to 27, all vessels of war ; but the captains who com mand them, and who are almost all Europeans, can not prevail on the Turkish officers and their crews to set sail and meet Lord Cochrane, whom they call in the Turkish dialect Cochrernan, which means " the valiant," par excellence. They have, besides, observed that this brave naval officer always appears alone in his vessel, or attended at most by one or two persons, and they think that this is a deception which he practices to make there fall into his hands. The Turks, whom Redschid Paella bad left in the provissce of Livadia, had just retired to the town of ' Salona. The Greeks have attacked them on every side; and as there is no fortification in Livadia, they have seen theMselves compelled to occupy the heights in the environs of Salona, which on one side rests upon the sea, and on the other is environ ed by precipitous mountains. Moreover, all Western Greece has again flown to arms. The information that the Powers of Europe have, at last, interfered in the affairs of Greece, con• firmed by a circular letter, which Maurommatis, the 3.dinister of Finance, has addressed to his country men, has reinvigorated the chieftains who, till now, kept themselves safe in the mountains. They have all of them now descended into the plains. Thus, in all Western Greece, there are no Turks except those who are blockaded in the fortresses of Lepanto and Missolonghi. (From the Journal des Debate.) 7.BAncT.Lovii, AUG. 30.—Whilst we are expecting the troops which ought to arrive to put an end to the manoeuvres of the disaffected, those wretches continue their incursions, and never cease inflicting new evils on this unhappy country. The town of :sfanresa, celebrated for its mesvidaeture of cotton, has been taken by them ; 400 or 500 sawn have been /alien prisoners, with the Governor, and a contribu tion of 500,000 francs has been levied. A single man d as s l sser was obliged to pay 60,000 francs as his share. It is a:Sid, that desertion prevails even among the few soldiers who have arrived -already. Can any man b e „ to ei i i,,:d at it? They are badly paid, whilst the insurgents receive a piecette (about td.) a day. The Diario of Bar c e lona has _published an order of Count de Villamur , Governor of the district of Barcelona, which prescribes measure; for stopping the rebellion. He desires that frequent patrols may be made in every commune in order to disperse small parties of rebels. On the day after this order was published, twenty-five inhabitants of Sorria, a village an licrues walk from Barcelona, being employed on the patrol, went and joined the disaffected on the mountains. A post of four men was placed at the distance of a musket-shot from the citadel of Barce lona, at the burial-plaee of that village, along the coast t o prevent smuggling; it was taken in the night by a party of rebels. Numerous families arrive here every day, to be sheltered from the evils which desolate the country. Things will be worse after the harvest. I said one day to some individuals who are well tu , cit ointed with every thing that happens, What is it ; hat the disaffected want's" A good Government,' ' What hope of a good Govern was their reply. me at can vol.' have from those persons, who demand it with arms i n their hands, and who; though they call themselves can be considered as no thing else than robbers We shall obtain the end, ; —no matter for the Means ; but at all events they do wrong to rob , b ecause for long time past plenty of money has been p laced at 46 disposal of their chiefs.' This explanation may serve as a comm entary , on the phrase which was recently employed by an Eng lish jon:nalist, that the occupation of Spain by the French would find its limit and its punishment. It is well known that France deplores these insurrec tionary movemesits. Moderate and tranquil people wish that she would, seek to suppress thew, L'om a regard to the interest of her troops. I think, on the contrary, that great raisrhief would arise from oar in tervention under such circumstances, because the greater part of the populastion of the oontry seems t them o incline towards the rebels. W e should p aci4 with difficulty, and at present we bave no cause to fear the efforts of the disaffected. (From the Journal of the Lower The treaties o f Par i s of the 30th of May, 1814, November, 1815, left the frontier between France and the States of Germany to be fixed in an invariableiii. manner, and the possession of the the islands in F to be re-established in the ex , t sa me state as it tett at the time of the treaty of Luneville. Commissioners were appointed in 1816 and in 1817 by France and the Great Duchy of Baden, to fix boundaries. The towing-path of the Rhine was the natural line of demarcation, and was pointed out by the treaties; but the variation of its course rendered it difficult to be drawn. General Guilleminot was appointed Commissioner of the King on behalf of France, and the Baron de Berckheim, Minister of the Interior for the Grand Duchy of Baden, was appointed by his Sovereign to take care of the interests of his country. A mixed commission, at which the Commissioner of the King presided when it met on the left bank, and at which M. de Berckheim presided when it met on the right bank of the river, was appointed to dis cuss all the questions to which this great operation might give rise. These questions became the more complicated as they were often mixed up with the interests of private property, which both the Com missioners equally wished to favour. General Guil leminot, in concert with M. de Berckheim, had al ready got rid of a great part of these difficulties, when the war in Spain called him to the side of the Prince Generalissimo, as Major-General of his army; and after the peace, the confidence of the King made him undertake the important Embassy to Constantinople. After his departure the negotiations proceeded very slowly : they even took a turn which made us afraid that they would be interminable. The absence of the Chief Commissioners, and of persons of the same rank, rendered the discussions not very ami cable, and much accommodation rather difficult. The Government of the King, to put an end to all these dis putes of commissions without chiefs, gave full power to M. Esmangart, Councillor of State, and Prefect of the Lower thine; the Baron de Berckheim was accredited anew, as he had been before; and the Commissioners, who were made to understand each other, once more resumed their conferences. The members of the Badenese commission took up their residence with Baron de Berckheim, at Strasburg; and with a negociator so able and so conciliating, a good understanding was very soon re-established. The conferences followed one ano ther with rapidity—the numerous materials left by General Guilleminot were collected with care— every thing which had embarrassed the discussions during his absence was got rid of; and in a short time the Commissioners, agreeing upon every point, drew up the concluding paper of their negotiation, and signed it on the :30th of January last. This treaty, which was to await the ratification of the two , Governments, was ratified by the King on tile Ist or , last August. An estafette des patched to M. Esmangart, has just brought him that ratification, and in a few days the exchange of the treaty will be made at Strasburg between the Chief Commissioners of the two States. This treaty, which was unsuccessfully undertaken and dis cussed from 1'169 to 1788, and which was again set on foot at the peace of 1815, will be an important benefit to the inhabitants of both banks of the Rhine. It fixes, in an invariable manner, the boundaries be tween France and the States of Germany. It frees proprietors and districts from the restraints which embarrassed them in the exercise of their rights of property, when, in consequence of the meanderings of the river, their property passed into a different sovereignty. It limits the right reserved to both states, to cut fascines mid wood, for the works of the river. It secures to our communes, rights, which they had not, or which they lost, when the change of the towing-path made them pass into the do minions of another Sovereign. It releases their property from certain Royal rights—such as free warren, piscary, washing of gold, &c., which the Badenese communes, that were the proprietors of the islands on our side of the river, enjoyed, and which our communes did not enjoy with the Bade nese : it permits in full freedom the exportation of the productions of the islands to the territory where the proprietor of them resides ; it secures the power of making in future, without interruption, the works necessary to the repair of the banks which may be falling, and prevents any works from being made upon one bank that can damage the other; it puts an end to that paltry ; warfare which was carried on during proftitind peace, without advantage to any body. It will maintain, it is to be hoped, a good understand ing between the inhabitants of both banks of the river, for it will put an end to the principal causes of quarrel between them. Measures of administra tion in conformity with the treaty have been taken, it is said, to make both banks enjoy all the advan tages of the treaty; and the inhabitants of Alsace will not be long before they discover that even in that respect nothing has escaped the solicitude of the rßicEs OF STOCKS wits Bank Stock 3 per Cunt. lied 3 per Cent.

A diAressing sensation was felt in the county of Dorset, on Saturday last, in consequence of the Clergyman of Stourpaine, near Blandford, having put an end to his ex istence. A Coroner's Inquest was held on the body on Saturday night, before Charles - Harmer, Esq. of Shaftes bury, when the jury having been sworn, the body of the Rev. Mr. Hewitson was presented to their view. It was lying on a bed on the parlour floor, and upon the sheet which covered it, having been removed, a most horrid spectacle presented itself. The intestines appeared much swollen, and a bole about the size of the muzzle of a mus ket appeared on the left side, near the heart. A young gentleman who had been on a visit for some time past to Mr. Hewitson, of the name of Wake, was then called, and said that he had been at Mr. Hewitson's house for some time past. About ten o'clock on Friday night he observed him in a very distressed state of mind take up a gun and leave the house. At Ara. Hewitaon's earnest request he followed him across the road to the back of some houses in a field. Mr. Hewitson warned him back, saying " take care of yourself: don't come after me.'' Notwithstanding this he followed him at a distance of about ten yards. He went into the field, and witness passed on a little up the lane, and climbing up the bank, saw him stoop down by some railings, and immediately after beard the discharge of a gun ; deceased then shrieked violently, and fell down. Mrs. Hewitson, and a number of other persons, came to the spot, and they carried the deceased to the house. Before this Mr. Hewit,on had been ill ; his mind was much agitated ; be was fretful and exceedingly morose. Mr. Wake proceeded to state, that he used every en treaty to prevail upon him to desist from his horrid pur pose. Mrs. Hewitson came up, apprehending what her husband was about to do, and saw the flash of the gun. She ran back for Mr. k;alter, the surgeon, who lived close by, and he came immediately, and rendered every US tistauce in his power, but in vain. The deceased lived until twelve o'clock, a great part of which time he ap peared to endure the most extreme agony. He was con tinually calling on God for mercy, and to have the per spiration wiped from his face; hut expressed no regret on account of the fatal deed. Mr. Wake then described the position in which the gun was placed. The handkerchief had been tied to a rail, and the muzzle of the gun being put against the breast, as it was drawn towards deceased, the trigger was pulled, and the contents entered the body. Mr. Salter, the surgeon, said that he bad attended de ceased in a fit of illness for six weeks, or two months; his complaint occasioned violent spasms, which contracted the stomach and chest, and, indeed, all parts of the body. He was of opinion that the illness had injured his intellect, and that at times be laboured under insanity. The Jury then examined the wound, said they were all satisfied the deceased was deranged, and gave a verdict accordingly. The deceased was a gentleman of Irish extraction, and veined to be of ele va t e d bi rt h .

A. MODERN MTRAITE.---TWQ consecutive sen tences of decent English, appeared some few days since in the leading article of a paper called the Standard. The Editor, however, has honourably diiciaimed all knowledge of them. *llll4 LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 12, 1827. By the arrival of the Duke of Marlborough packet, Captain Bunt., with a mail from Lis bon, we have received Gazettes to the 26th of August. The state of affairs in Lisbon can never be gathered from the contents of the Gazettes ; but those which have now reached us contain further evidence of the unsettled disposi- ion of the Government, in the decrees of her Royal Highness the INFANTA REGENT, for displacing some functionaries and appointing others. By one decree her. Royal Highness ac- cepts the resignation of the Conde de SA tii PATO ; by another, she appoints Major Gen. CAULA to succeed him as Military Governor of the Capital and Province of Estrernadura ; and, by a third and fourth decree, she appoints Major Gen. CORDOVA to the office of Inspector• General of the Cavalry, from which her ROYAL HIGHNESS removes SAMPAYO. General CAULA was Go- vernor of Elvas during the insurrection, and displayed considerable energy .on that but SAMPAYO possesses the confidence of the liberal party in an eminent degree, and his dis missal is universally regretted, notwithstanding the character of his successor. The INFANTA REGENT, by another decree, calls for a detailed account of the excesses which had been occasioned by the Apostolicals at Laveiros, when the National Hymn was played at some festivity. Her ROYAL HIGHNESS continued to residd at Cintra. The following are extracts from the Gazettes :•••••-• LISBON, AUG. 24.—The Gazette contains the follow ing official articles :- 1. A Note from the Ini:anta Regent to the Count de Sampayo, permitting him, in consequence of the reasons which he has assigned, to resign the command of the troops in the capital and the province of Estremadura. 2. A Note to Carlos Frederico de Caula, Major-General of the Royal Army, appointing him, in consideration of his eminent qualifications and merits, to the post of military Governor, ad interim, of the capital and of the province of Estremadura. 3 and 4. Two notices of the Council of War, stating that her Highness has exonerated the Conde de Sampayo from the office of Inspector-General of the Cavalry, and that she has appointed Major-General Verissimo Antonio Cordova in his room. These are all dated Cintra, August 22, and signed by the Regent, and countersigned by the Conde de Ponte. ' DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. The Infanta Regent being informed by the correspond ence of the local magistrates with the general police-office, that on the 18th inst., at Laveiros, some men insulted and struck the musicians, who, on the occasion of a festivity, played the national hymn, and that they even attempted to enter by force the ho use o f a p erson w h om th e y supposed to be attached to the legitimate Government, the whole accompanied with seditious cries, her Highness, in the name of the Kiug, gives orders to express her surprise at your omitting to give an account to this office of so extra ordinary an event, and of the measures which you took ; and now she orders you to give immediately a d eta i le d account of the affair, and if you have began, as was your duty, to proceed against the persons guilty o f 50 scandalous an excess. Palace of Cintra, Aug. 0, 1827 . MANOEL ANTONIO DE CARVALHO. To the Juiz de Fora of the town of Oeira,., In another part of our Paper we have inserted some long extracts from the Paris Papers of Sunday, and the Gazette de Prance dated Monday morning, which readied us last night. The latter announces that the French squa d ron, destined to act in the Archipelago, would assemble at Milo on the 25th of August at latest, and that the Naval forces of th e t h ree Powers would form a junction, and be ready to, act in the Levant by the beginning of this month. In the mean time an intimation had been made to the Pacha of EGYPT that no further reinforcements for his army in Greece would be allowed to pass, and Russia had communicated to the Porte that any improper treatment of the Ambassadors or subjects of the three Powers at Constantinople, would be the signal for the in vasion of the Ottoman territory by the Russian army. A powerful - Russian fleet also threatens Constantinople from the Black Sea. The intelligence from Spain continues of the same character. A Revenue unequal to the expenditure, a Government without energy, and rebellion daily advancing in extent, make up the picture of the present state of this devoted country : its condition appears to be hopeless, and it is impossible to contemplate the degrada tion of a nation possessing the natural advantages which belong to the Spanish people without a feeling of pity, mingled with contempt, for their apathy and stupidity, under circumstances which would rouse the feelings of any other people upon earth. The long pending negociations respecting the possession of some of the islands in the Rhine appear to have been finally closed, and the treaty entered into between the Commissioners on behalf of France and the German States, ratified by the KING on the Ist of August. It fixes in an invariable manner the boundaries be tween France and the states of Germany, and is likely to be attended with advantages to the in habitants of both banks of the river. The papers are full of the details of the KING'S journey, but these accounts possess no interest with English readers. We received, last night, New York Papers to the 16th ult. inclusive. They contain no poli- tical news regarding the United States, but some interesting intelligence is given in them from the Brazils and from Lima. A vessel which arrived at Boston, on the 14th August, in 32 days, from Pernambuco, had brought accounts that Peace had been declared at that place, between Brazil and Buenos Ayres, but this account was not generally credited, as there had not been suf- ficient One for the 110W3 of the ratification to reach Pernambuco, at the date mentioned. The accounts from Lima, which extend to the 24th of May, state that the Congress as sembled on the Ist of that month, and that the session was opened by a message from General SANTA CRUZ, as President of the Council of Government. The only notice taken in this do cument of the departure of the Colombian troops is, that they were removed out of the Peruvian territory in " consequence of insubordination ;" and the President proceeds to say, " that in the whole extent of the Republic not a single foreign soldier remains, and it is the first time since the epoch of PIZARRO, that Peru has enjoyed this advantage." The President observes, as respects foreign relations, that Spain alone is decidedly opposed to the acknowledgement of the inde- 7P.Ger,a, that the Republic is on the most friendly terms with all the other Re publics of North and South America, and that a Charge d'Affaires has been sent to Brazil as an evidence of the pacific views of the Government. The depressed state of the public credit is acknowledged, and the causes explained. The amount of the foreign debt is said to be 9,000,000, and that of the domestic 5,000,000 : a sinking fund has been establisWed. There are two mints in Peru ; that of Lima will coin this year 4,000,000, and that of Cuzco 2,000,000. The state of the church has been under consi deration. The army and militia are stated to be on a respectable footing, and the arsenals well supplied. The navy consists of four vessels. The mercantile marine is improving. On the whole, the situation of the Republic is said to be satisfac tory : an act or general amnesty is strongly re commended. He thus concludes—" re sponsibilities have ceased, and my pure con science tells me I have done my duty. Two worlds are spectators of your labours : your country hopes every thing from them. May the Almighty give you wisdom." The first prelimi nary Junta assembled at Lima on the 15th May, when they proceeded to the election of the Of ficers of the Junta. Senor VALDIVIESA was chosen President, and Senor DIEGUEZ, Vice- President. A new tariff' was in preparation, which, it was expected, would reduced the duty on furniture and other articles, at present pay ing 80 per cent., ad valorem. The conduct of BouvAß, both in Peru and subsequently on his return to Colombia, is attacked with much virulence in the Lima Journals, but the attacks appear to be conducted under the same influence which had so nearly overthrown his estintation in Colombia, but which better sources of informa tion have proved to be of base and malignant The advices from Mexico are not later than those obtained by the last packet from New York, but they mention some facts then unnoticed. It seems that Mr. POINSETT, the A Minister, has thought proper to publish an an swer to the manifesto of the State of Vera Cruz, which co ntained strictures o n th e c o nduct and inten tentions of the U n it e d St a t es ' Government, in poINSETT regar I to that of Mexico and the South Ame rican States. In this document Mr. merican re capitulates th e var i ous ac t s d one by his Govern ment to establish the independence of the Spanish colonies, and sufficiently proves its sincerity and g ood -will. He is less successful, however, when he enters on the defence of his own connexion with the political faction of the Yorkinos, by 1 which, though h e sought nothing more than to destroy the influence of England, he seems to have brought the who frame of the federal government into jeopardy. A curious question, as regards the-movements of the Mexican squadron under Commodore PORTER, has arisen between the Government of the United States and the authorities at Ha vannah. The station at Key West, in which that squadron had taken its anchorage, is ad mitted to be within the territorial jurisdiction of the American Union, and the Governor and Admiral at Havannah, on that ground, as alleged, had abandoned an intention to attack the Mexi. can fleet in that position ; but they appeal, it is understood, to the Government at Washington not to violate its neutrality between Spain and the Colonies of that Power, by permitting any longer the shelter of Key West to the Mexican squadron. A naval officer of rank had sailed from Pensacola, with instructions, as it was supposed, to adjust this affair to the strict rule of inter national law. We have been favoured with the following ex tract of a letter from Alexandria, dated the 21st of July, which was received yesterday by a Gen tleman of high consideration from his own Cor respondent there. As the date of this letter is four days later than that of any other communication which has reached this country from Egypt, its contents are interesting at this crisis : " AL/LIANDSIA, JULY 21. " The Paehaie fleet will sail next week if nothing oecurs to detain it. The Gannet sailed yesterday in search of the pirates on the coast of Candia. We have received letters from Loudon down to the 29th June." The Allgemeine Zeitung of the sth instant has been received this morning. The accounts from Constantinople to the 10th of August are not so late as those previously received. The Porte was naturally very indignant at the triple convention, and put on its darkest gloom. It had also sent orders to all the fortresses to give an exact account of their stores and ammunition. These are warlike symptoms, but we do not think the SULTAN will come to blows. We have some further observations relative to the fall of the Acropolis, and the mercenary conduct of the Greek Chiefs, some of whom are charged with having actually sold their provisions to the Turks at a time when their own troops were starving. We hope this imputation is un true, but the extraordinary accounts which have been circulated, relative to the misconduct of several Chiefs, give too much colour of probability to the affair. Certain, it is, that if the Greek Chiefs had thought as much of their country as they were attentive to their own private interests, and smothered the rancour of party jealousies in the enthusiasm of patriots struggling for common liberty—their country would have been long ere this free—and themselves independent. But they must now thank others for that blessing which their imprudence has thrown away : MUNICH, SE f. 3. Accounts have been received from Rome of the death of Cardinal Von Haffelin, Ambassador from his Majesty the King of Bavaria, itt that city, at the very advanced age of 94 years. Chevalier Wiebeking is gone to the south of France, to examine the antiquities and the canals of that country. He will return through Italy. _ _ CONSTANTINOTLE, AUG. 10. (From a Mercantile Letter.)—Since the last post there has been no change with respect to the system of the Porte. In consequence of the convention between England, Russia, and France, it is on very indifferent terms with the Mini sters of the three Courts, so that we are very curious to see what it will do after they have jointly transmitted to it the convention in question. Nothing, howe►er, is known of a general arming, only so much is certain, that the Porte, since the sending of artillery and ammunition to the Danube, has issued orders to all the other fortresses to send a stAtment of the military stores, &c. now in them. According to letters from Syra, the news of the conclu sion of the convention of 6th July had been communicated by the Commander of the English squadron, and had been received with great joy.

The ariental Spectator of Smyrna, now called the Im partial Observer, has commenced giving a view of the transactions in Greece, beginning with the arrival of Lord Cochrane on the 16th of March. It contains some, but only a few, additional particulars to what was before known. The following passage, rela tive to the evacuation of the camp at the Phalerus, con cludes the part of the account hitherto received, and imme diately following the rejection by the garrison of the Acro polis of the terms offered on the 12th of May, and the failure of the expedition of Captain Vastins : ,4 Thus the attempts of the Greeks had failed in every quarter, and the 1084 of their beat aoldiece on the plains of Athens h►as considered as irreparable. Desertion daily in creased, and, after vain attempts to put a stop to it, after General Church had obtained positive proofs that several Greek Chiefs themselves (among others Tsavella) sold to the enemy the provisions intended for their own troops, which were already entirely demoralised, he was convinced that it would not be possible to maintain that strongly fortified camp, the formation of which bad cost so much time and labour. The number of the troops assembled there had actually amounted, though but for a short time, to 14,000 men, and at no time of the insurrection (not even when Dram-All's defeat, and the enthusiasm excited by it bad attached to Argolis a number of Capitani who thought to share the fruits of a victory to which they had contributed nothing) was a Greek army so numerous, and commanded by such able and celebrated Generals, collected on one spot ; never had the Greeks such powerful means to oppose the conquests of the Turkish army, and to deliver the Peloponnesue. A single day annihilated all those fair prospects and hopes. His MAJESTY'S packet brig, Sphyns, has arrived with a Leeward Island Mail. She sailed from Barbadoes on the 21st of July ; from Tor tola on the 27th ; and from St. Thomas's on the 6th August. Montreal files of the 11th, and Quebec of the 9th ult., have been received by the New York packet ship, arrived at Liverpool. The follow ing are extracts : Yesterday morning his Excellency the Governor-in-Chief returned to Montreal from his visit to the Rideau Canal ; he set out again in the evening in the Waterloo steam boat. The General Elections for the Provincial Assembly seem to attract the most intense interest, and were proceed ing; and the Papers are chiefly filled with an account of the recommendation and qualification of the different candidates ; among some of whom 'considerable degree: of asperity seems to be engendered. A Letter from the Havannah, dated July 21, 1827, addressed to a house at Philadelphia, says-.--" We beg to inform you that we have drafted a memorial to our Intendant (which we have every reason to believe will be granted), praying for the admission of previsions, &c. from the United States into this port en depot, to be shipped hence to the British West India Islands. We shall give you early information of our success."—From this, it ap pears, every course and device is planned to get a share of the trade to our West India Islands. The fact is, Brother Jonathan begins to feel the lose of that trade, which amounted to between six and seven millions of dollars per annum, and iu which chiefly American vessels were em ployed. The Jasper, Swift, arrived at Boston, from Batavia, sailed lot of May. The war still continued in Java. There were about 3,000 European troops in the Island, and about as many native troops in the Dutch service. Throe thousand Dutch troops were daily expected to arrive from Holland. The Dutch man-of-war, Atalanta, passed Angier, for Batavia, 23d April. The troops were very sickly, and many die daily. A battle was fought is the interior, ou the 24th April, in which the Dutch troops, under the Baron Vexula, burnt 50 villages. ,Only three or four Europeans were killed. A gentleman who has resided for several months at Carthagena, has furnished us with an account of the number of troops at that place, which corrects several inaccuracies that have been published on the subject at Carthagena. The troops and citizens are in favour of Bolivar. Generals Montella, Padella, and Blontis, are his particular friends. Montis is at present Intendants ; Paddle, Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, and has great power. There are about 4,000 troops, selected in the Intendency, exclusive of the militia. The troops selected by Bolivar, are all natives, with the exception of a Lieut.- Colonel Rainbolt, their commander, and are remarkable for their neatness and discipline, and are about 400 strong. The other troops are lancers, and commanded by a Major, a Scotehman ; the dragoons by a Captain Crofton, formerly of the British dragoons; and the artillery and infantry by natives. —.American Paper. Extract of a letter from Port-au-Prince " A dangerous conspiracy, as it was stated, although I be; lieve nothing more than a determination to remonstrate against the arrangements with France, in which a number are concerned, from Generals down to Serjeants, has just been dis eovered. Fear subaltern officers ware ,arrested, the highest in rank only: a Captain, and, after g iving t h em a mock trial, i n which Counsel was refused to be heard in their behalf, condemned and executed them in one day—l ' should have said murdered them. Never having witnessed an execution, I determined to see this ; the condemned went to the ground smoking their cigars, without being tied ; their wives, children, and relations in company, they passed to the place of execution, with as mush sang froid as if they were only spectators, and not actors in the dis mal scene. When the platoon, which consisted .of about 30 men, fired, but one man fell, and he was slightly wounded : it required three or four more rounds to bring down two more ; and the last victim stood 20 shots, calmly smoking his cigar all the time.--. American Paper. 'The accounts received from Batavia via the United States are generally of a disastrous nature. The Dutch troops were sickly.—the insurgents still opposing them, sometimes successfully. In one engagement about 24th April, in which they were however defeated, more than fifty villages, and a considerable tract of country, occu pied in coffee plantations, was burnt. It is also said, that the Dutch Government had been obliged to pay to the Insurgent Chiefs a considerable sum of money to grant a truce for six weeks, during which time it was hoped they would receive a reinforcement of 3,000 new from Europe, but from the knowledge:we pos. sets of the disasters attending the expedition at the outset of its sailing, not more than 1,000 men at the most could arrive in that period. THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY) CITY, TiviarE o aocr. , Every thing in the British Funds continues to wear a very dull appearance, and there is this moru ing scarcely any business or variation to quote in Consols, which opened at 87a for account, and 871 for money, and up to the above hour, 87k, buyers, for account, may fairly be taken as the only price ; India Bonds and Exchequer Bills remain at yester day's quotations, the former being 92 4, and the latter 59 6 1 pm. The Foreign Funds have been dull all the morn ing, Mexican Bonds continue heavy, and there ap pears to be a weight hanging over this security which it is difficult to account for, the price is 6.51 4 ; Colombian are 29k 30. The last intelligence from Laguayra is of the 24th July, by which we learn that every thing in that Republic remained in a state of tranquillity, and no doubt was entertained that the Liberator, Bolivar, would succeed in restoring the country to a state of more general peace than has latterly characterised the proceedings of that Govern ment.
